The bidding for the "Emperor Liquid" started at just one gold coin, causing the price to soar.
In a short time, it reached fifty thousand!
Xiao Zhan was excited, but he didn't immediately bid.
He narrowed his eyes, waiting for these small fries to finish their squabbling.
The bidding continued for a moment longer, and the voices finally quieted down. At the same time, Jia Liebi, who was sitting beside Xiao Zhan, spoke calmly:
"Seventy thousand!"
As soon as the bid was announced, the hall fell silent.
Some people looked at the expressionless Jia Liebi and could only sit back down in disappointment.
They didn't have the strength to compete with the Jia Lie Family.
"Hehe~ Isn't your son, Jia Liebi, already a Dou Practitioner? Why are you still eyeing this medicinal liquid?"
Obapa said with a sarcastic smile.
"What? Can't I have a bastard son? Can't I buy it for my future grandson?"
Jia Liebi held his head high.
It was obvious he was just making excuses.
The value of this medicinal liquid was already high enough, not to mention it was made by Qi Yan'er, that little monster!
As long as they bought this medicinal liquid, they could definitely go to her if they didn't understand something. This was an excellent opportunity to make friends. How could they miss it?
"Bastard son? Future grandson?"
Obapa sneered, inwardly scoffing: Look at how fat you are, a bastard son would never be like you, right? As for a grandson, your son might kick the bucket any day, so where would a grandson come from?
"Seventy-one thousand!"
"You…"
Hearing Jia Liebi only raise his bid by a thousand gold coins, Obapa was immediately enraged and shouted again: "Eighty thousand!"
"Eighty-one thousand!"
In just a few minutes, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the two men were bidding like mad dogs, forcing the price up to one hundred and fifty thousand!
One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!
Even for the three major families of Wutan City, this would be a serious blow. Were they crazy?
Just to add a Dou Practitioner to their family?
"Two hundred thousand!"
Xiao Zhan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly spoke.
The hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to Xiao Zhan.
Even Obapa and Jia Liebi were taken aback by his sudden high bid.
"Clan Leader Xiao, it seems you're determined to get this medicine!"
Jia Liebi said with a faint smile.
Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "What? Does Clan Leader Jia Lie want it as well? Then just bid. I won't compete anymore."
Jia Liebi's face twitched: "I'm not as foolish as you, willing to risk the entire family just to gain another Dou Practitioner!"
Obapa smiled faintly from the side: "Clan Leader Xiao, it's yours!"
After the two sat down, the hall became silent.
"Xiao Zhan, the clan leader, has bid two hundred thousand gold coins. Is there anyone else who will increase the bid?"
Ya Fei's words echoed in the peaceful auction hall. Just as she was about to raise her hand, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly came from a corner of the hall!
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"What?"
This person's bid caused everyone in the audience to stand up, all looking towards the source of the voice.
There, a mysterious person in a black robe was standing.
This person's attire was similar to Xiao Yan's, but it wasn't Xiao Yan.
The dry, withered hands peeking out from the sleeves revealed that this was undoubtedly an old man!
Up above, Ya Fei was deeply shocked. Who was this Black-robed Elder?
He opened with a bid of twenty-five thousand gold coins. He was no ordinary person!
Qi Yan'er blinked her large eyes, her curious gaze landing on the man. Tilting her head, she murmured softly,
"So, in Wutan City, there's someone even bigger of a sucker than that little mustache!"
Xiao Zhan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Me? A sucker?
Ya Fei, at this moment, looked at Xiao Zhan, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. She gave a charming smile,
"Clan Head Xiao, this gentleman has bid twenty-five thousand. I wonder if you..."
"Since this gentleman wants it, then Xiao Zhan will not bid any further."
Although Xiao Zhan really wanted to show off in front of Ya Fei, he couldn't...
He really couldn't afford it!
If he kept bidding, the Xiao Clan would have to sell everything.
"This gentleman has bid twenty-five thousand gold coins. Does anyone else want to bid?"
Looking at the scene that had once again fallen silent, Ya Fei smiled.
"Since no one is bidding, this bottle of Emperor Liquid will be purchased by this gentleman!"
Seeing no one respond, the small hammer in Ya Fei's hand directly fell on the table, confirming the buyer.
Down below, Qi Yan'er frowned slightly, feeling very curious.
Why would an old man want to buy this medicine? Could it be… is he a pharmacist?
Even the clever Qi Yan'er couldn't quite understand it, but as long as it was sold, that was good!
At this moment, Ya Fei clapped her hands, a smile on her face:
"Everyone, I have good news for you, the next item up for auction..."
"It's still Emperor Liquid!"
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
Three-grade Emperor Liquid, and not just one bottle!
That means they still had a chance?
This was indeed good news for those present, but…
"Cough, cough, cough~"
The old man who had just bought the first bottle of Emperor Liquid was now coughing uncontrollably.
Infuriating!
So infuriating!
Did she take the old man for a fool?
But, it had to be said, that young lady on the stage really had some skill!
Thinking about this.
The old face hidden in the darkness actually curved into a barely perceptible arc of satisfaction.
"There's actually another bottle of the medicinal liquid!"
Xiao Zhan, who had been disheartened, immediately perked up.
However, he still glanced back with a deep look.
This mysterious Black-robed Elder had endured the Mittel Auction House's actions!
It seemed he was not a hidden powerhouse, but merely a wealthy merchant unwilling to reveal his identity.
Not only Xiao Zhan thought this, but Obapa and Jia Liebi also shared the same thought.
But Ya Fei above didn't think so.
Ya Fei was an extremely intelligent woman!
The fact that this old man was so silent now could only mean one of two things.
One option was to endure it, out of fear of the Mittel Auction House.
The other option, however, was to show disdain! Only true experts would show disdain for the Mittel Auction House! Moreover, this old man hadn't bid before, waiting for a final, decisive strike. How could such a person be simple?
Ya Fei didn't dwell on it any longer. She picked up the white jade bottle in her hand:
"Everyone, I won't say much more. Let's continue the bidding! You set the price!"
"Thirty thousand!"
As soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, another bid rang out from below.
This time, Xiao Zhan was determined to win. Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he directly announced: "One hundred fifty thousand!"
"Crack~"
Xiao Zhan's forceful bid immediately silenced the others.
"You madman, is this worth it?"
Obapa stared at Xiao Zhan, sneering.
"Worth it!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes were unwavering.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, in the corner, saw his father's expression and his heart clenched.
As expected, Father is still the best to me! He actually spent so much money for me!
"Worth it?"
Jia Liebi sneered, "Your useless son is still only a Dou Disciple at the third stage. Even if he uses this liquid, he won't become the genius he once was!"
"Clan Head Jia Lie, when did I say this liquid was for my son?"
Xiao Zhan shouted, then looked at Ya Fei above:
"Miss Ya Fei, you should be able to use this medicinal liquid, right?"
Xiao Yan: (⊙o⊙)…??? Is this really my own father?
Spending 150,000, just to make that girl happy? Spending 150,000, just to pick up a girl? Is he crazy, or am I crazy?
