Xiao Yi looked over at the sound and indeed saw a black-robed figure.
Oh, it really is him!
It seems this kid came to the auction house today to sell medicine!
"The Soul Power on that kid seems a bit strange..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.
He had clearly noticed the strangeness about Xiao Yan.
Presumably, Yao Lao was not entirely hidden within the storage ring at this moment, which is why Xiao Xuan was able to detect his aura.
"There also seems to be a trace of an exotic flame. Kid, your companion doesn't seem simple either!"
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and whispered in Xiao Yi's mind.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, "Ancestor, don't rush. After the auction ends, I'll go take a look..."
...At this moment, Ya Fei, with her every frown and smile on stage, directly brought the atmosphere of the venue to a climax, and at the same time, today's auction officially began.
As "treasures" were auctioned off one by one, Xiao Zhan never participated in a single bid, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was deliberately waiting for some special item.
Finally, Ya Fei slowly picked up a small white jade bottle.
"The next item up for auction, a Rank Two Medicinal Pill!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the venue instantly erupted into a frenzy again.
After all, in this Fighting Qi Continent, the most sought-after item was Medicinal Pills, which is why Alchemists became a respected profession.
"This item is called Foundation Establishment Elixir, and it is only effective for those below the Dou Practitioner Rank. Cultivating by soaking the body in this liquid can increase one's cultivation speed!"
As Ya Fei's red lips parted and closed, a sweet and soft voice echoed, causing everyone present to feel a slight tingling in their bones.
At this moment, even Xiao Zhan couldn't help but be slightly moved—not because of Ya Fei, of course, but because of the Rank Two Medicinal Pill, Foundation Establishment Elixir, in Ya Fei's hand.
After all, from Xiao Zhan's perspective, this Foundation Establishment Elixir was most suitable for Xiao Yan.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan had already made up his mind that he would definitely secure this Rank Two Medicinal Pill today!
"The starting price for the Foundation Establishment Elixir is eight thousand gold coins. Please begin bidding, everyone!"
Ya Fei on stage smiled slightly, then her gaze fell upon the Clan Chiefs of the three major Families.
Because Ya Fei knew very well that in Wutan City, only these three possessed true strength.
"Eight thousand five hundred!"
As soon as Ya Fei's voice fell, someone immediately made a bid from below the stage.
"Nine thousand!"
..."Fifteen thousand!"
"Seventeen thousand!"
It was indeed a Rank Two Medicinal Pill; in just a short while, the starting price of eight thousand for the Foundation Establishment Elixir had already been raised to seventeen thousand.
However, Xiao Zhan's expression barely changed, and he still hadn't made a bid.
"Uncle Xiao, this Foundation Establishment Elixir seems useful for Brother Yan..."
Xiao Yi had not finished speaking when Xiao Zhan looked up and interrupted him, saying,
"Of course it is. Wait a bit longer; no one will snatch this spirit liquid today!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes were serious as he spoke in a deep voice.
From his tone, it was not hard to tell that Xiao Zhan was determined to get the Foundation Establishment Elixir.
"Twenty thousand!"
At this moment, Gale Bi, the Clan Chief of the Jia Lie Family, was the first to lose patience and shouted out a bid.
And Ao Ba Pa, the Clan Chief of the Oba Family, seeing Gale Bi make a move, also couldn't resist and immediately said, "Twenty-five thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty-one thousand!"
The previously bustling venue now only had Gale Bi and Ao Ba Pa left bidding.
The others all understood and did not continue to raise the price.
After all, they all knew the influence of the Jia Lie Family and the Oba Family in Wutan City.
"Forty thousand!"
Finally, Xiao Zhan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
The entire venue instantly fell silent, and everyone's gaze was fixed on Xiao Zhan.
"Clan Chief Xiao, although this Foundation Establishment Elixir is a Rank Two Medicinal Pill, it's not worth forty thousand gold coins!"
Ao Ba Pa smiled faintly and said in a deep voice.
However, Xiao Zhan merely glanced at Ao Ba Pa and Gale Bi, then snorted coldly:
"If you two want it, then continue to raise the price. I, Xiao, will definitely follow!"
As soon as Xiao Zhan said this, the other two exchanged glances, then both shook their heads.
Because in their eyes, while the Foundation Establishment Elixir was precious, it wasn't worth that price.
So, both chose to stop.
Since Gale Bi and Ao Ba Pa both backed down, the others naturally dared not continue to bid against Xiao Zhan.
In the end, Xiao Zhan successfully acquired the Foundation Establishment Elixir for forty thousand gold coins.
As Ya Fei raised her wooden hammer and brought it down, the transaction was instantly completed.
Immediately, Ya Fei looked in Xiao Zhan's direction and specifically winked at Xiao Yi.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter, "This Ya Fei, she's truly a vixen..."
...On the high platform, Ya Fei smiled slightly and looked at the crowd in the venue, saying,
"Everyone, next up is the grand finale of this auction!"
As Ya Fei's voice faded, she slowly bent down and took out a silver tray, on which lay a roll of azure scroll.
At this moment, the venue, which had just quieted down, once again erupted with overwhelming cheers.
Some were cheering for the azure scroll, while others, of course, were cheering for what was revealed when Ya Fei bent down... At this point, Xiao Zhan, who had just bought the Foundation Establishment Elixir, also clearly became excited.
Of course, Xiao Zhan's excitement was due to the azure scroll.
"The final auction item of this auction!
"Xuan Tier High-Ranked Cultivation Technique: Wind Scroll Art!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the already fervent venue became even noisier.
"Yier, now that you've returned to the Dou Practitioner Rank, you need a Cultivation Technique!"
"What do you think of this Cultivation Technique?"
Xiao Zhan, with an excited expression, looked down at Xiao Yi and asked softly.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Profound Rank High-Ranked, this Cultivation Technique Rank is very high!"
Xiao Zhan heard this and smiled gently: "If Yier likes it, then I will definitely get it for you today!"
Xiao Yi quickly said, "Uncle, although this Cultivation Technique is Profound Rank High-Ranked, its name doesn't really suit me..."
"Besides, this Cultivation Technique looks quite valuable... I can just find a Cultivation Technique in the Dou Qi Pavilion later..."
In truth, Xiao Yi simply didn't care for this Xuan Tier High-Ranked Cultivation Technique, because he was currently cultivating the Earth-rank Cultivation Method given to him by Xiao Xuan.
But Xiao Zhan didn't think so: "Yier, you also know that the Cultivation Technique Ranks of our Xiao Family are not high. Your talent is so good now; you can't let a poor Cultivation Technique affect your Cultivate!"
"Don't worry, your Uncle, I, have plenty of money!"
Xiao Zhan had a big smile on his face, patted Xiao Yi's head, and then focused his attention on the Cultivation Technique.
Hearing this, and seeing Xiao Zhan's extremely gentle smile, Xiao Yi was deeply moved, even feeling a lump in his throat.
"Xuan Tier High-Ranked Cultivation Technique: Wind Scroll Art, starting price: two hundred thousand gold coins!"
Ya Fei on the high platform maintained her charming smile and said coquettishly.
Of course, Ya Fei's gaze was still fixed on the Clan Chiefs of the three major Families, after all, in Wutan City, only these three Families had the strength to compete for the Wind Scroll Art.
And when Xiao Zhan heard "two hundred thousand gold coins," the corner of his mouth uncontrollably twitched.
After all, two hundred thousand gold coins was not a small sum for the Xiao Family.
But thinking of Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth fiercely and decided to go for it!
