It has to be said that the publicity effect of Mittle's auction house is indeed very powerful. Just one day after Xiao Yan handed over the foundation-building spiritual liquid to the auction, almost all the big and small forces in Wutian City knew about it. Suddenly, everyone was boiling with excitement.
Unlike the high-level martial art sold at the last auction, that priceless item could only be bought by a handful of major forces, while other weaker forces could only sigh in admiration.
While building a strong foundation is essential for many, it's also about being more practical. To enable their children to become warriors as soon as possible, many elders are willing to spend money on this affordable yet not overly expensive item.
When the news of the foundation-building spiritual liquid spread throughout Wutang City, Xiao Yan, who was deep in his family, also gradually heard some rumors. Looking at the seven bottles of impure foundation-building spiritual liquid being made such a big fuss about, he felt both shocked and once again sensed the unique charm of alchemy on this continent.
On the second day, the Xiao family also received an invitation letter from the Miter Auction House. Perhaps it was because of the last time when Xiao Zhan bought the Foundation Establishment Liquid for Xiao Yan that several elders in the family were also very interested in this re-emergence of the Foundation Establishment Liquid, especially those who still had children and grandchildren who had not reached the Dou Zhe level, and they were extremely eager.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yan had originally planned to sneak out alone, but was instead notified by Xiao Zhan's people ahead of time. Helpless, he could only follow behind the messenger and head towards the family gate.
Arriving at the gate, it was not only Xiao Zhan who was here, but also several elders, all of whom were surging in, looking extremely lively.
Xiao Yan looked up at Xiao Zhan, who was approaching slowly, and smiled, urging him to hurry up.
Watching his father's urging, Xiao Yan let out a sigh and walked closer, but the corners of his eyes caught sight of the two people beside Xiao Zhan, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Dawdling like a woman..." Looking at Xiao Yan's furrowed brow, Xiao Yu also had some pent-up anger after waiting for half a day and coldly spoke with sarcasm.
"You're in a hurry to attend the funeral." Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yu, his light voice almost causing the latter to shatter a silver tooth.
A soft "heh" escaped from amidst the crowd, a gentle girl's laughter that sounded like the tinkling of a silver bell.
He slightly tilted his head, gazing at Xun Er in the crowd, and Xiao Yan shrugged towards her, smiling: "You're also going to the auction?"
"It's so boring staying in the family, let's go take a look..." Xun'er squeezed out of the crowd and stood alongside Xiao Yan, smiling brightly.
"There's nothing good to look at, just some Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, which is useless to you anyway." Xiao Yan said with a casual smile.
"Hmph, what's so great about it? If you hadn't relied on that thing, could you have reached my level so quickly?" Xiao Ning, who had been beaten by Xiao Yan and took two months to recover, looked at the intimate appearance of the two chatting and smiling, his face twitching again, and he spoke sarcastically, having forgotten the pain of his past wounds.
"Are your bones itching again?" Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and said with a hint of a smile.
"Your..." face flushed with anger, Xiao Ning clenched his fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them, and sneered: "Don't be smug, this time you injured me, I really have to thank you. If it wasn't for this period of rest, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to touch the ninth stage of Dou Zhi Qi either. In at most seven days, I'll be able to enter the ninth stage of Dou Zhi Qi! At that time, who will be itching for a fight, is still uncertain!"
As soon as Xiao Ning finished speaking, the elderly relatives surrounding him couldn't help but look at him with some surprise. The great elder on the side also had a slightly pleased expression, presumably thinking that this grandson had increased his own prestige by a lot.
Xiao Zhan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he glared at the Great Elder with some displeasure. Just as he was about to wave his hand for everyone to depart, he suddenly caught sight of a hint of playful smile on Xiao Yan's face. He was taken aback, and the words that were about to leave his mouth were swallowed back down.
Looking at Xiao Ning's face with a cold smile and complacency, Xiao Yan pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, then shook his head slightly, and said in a helpless low voice: "That... sorry, the other day I accidentally... reached the ninth stage, it seems that you are probably slower than me again."
"Uh..."
Xiao Yan's words came out, and the surrounding clansmen suddenly fell silent. The shocked gaze instantly shifted to Xiao Yan's face, which had a somewhat helpless expression... accidentally... broke through?
He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. Everyone secretly thought that this little guy was intentionally trying to hurt people, poor Xiao Ning...
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Ning's face suddenly stiffened with pride, his mouth twitched, his throat rolled, and he stared at Xiao Yan with a dead gaze. After a moment, he finally slumped down in defeat. He had thought that this time, the bottleneck would allow him to regain some dignity, but instead, it brought an even greater blow.
Xiao Yu's jade-like hand grasped Xiao Ning, who had been badly battered. She shot Xiao Yan a fierce glare, but unusually, she didn't utter any sarcastic remarks. Instead, she muttered to herself, "How did this little scoundrel cultivate? It's only been two months... how did he reach the ninth stage?"
Even though Xie Yu and Xiao Yan were not on good terms, Xie Yu still felt a little shocked by Xiao Yan's cultivation speed.
"Haha..." Looking at the surrounding tribesmen with surprised faces, Xiao Zhan's furrowed eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he burst out laughing for a few moments. He glanced at the old face of the helpless elder and laughed: "Let's go, let's go! The auction is about to start, everyone stop delaying, or we'll be late and someone will snatch it away!"
Watching several elders walk out of the gate, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but turn his head and happily rub Xiao Yan's head, laughing freely: "Not bad, not bad, you've made your father look good again. That old man said in front of me today that his grandson is so great, he must have said it over ten times, I'm getting annoyed just listening to him. He just wants our family to spend money to buy a bottle of Foundation Establishment Liquid for his grandson, beating around the bush, what a nuisance, that stingy old man."
His hair was messed up, Xiao Yan let out a bitter laugh, innocently spread his hands and walked out the door, helplessly saying: "I didn't want to say it, but that guy just had to bring it up..."
Xiao Ning, who had just stepped out the door, heard Xiao Yan's words and twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat depressed and mournful in his heart.
