Casually withdrawing his slightly chilly gaze, Xiao Yan did not have the patience to verbally abuse this guy. His fingers, out of habit, slightly curled as an eerie suction and expulsion force breathed rhythmically in his palm. After over a year of honing, although Xiao Yan wouldn’t say he had mastered the transformation between “Suction Palm” and “Blow Fire Palm,” he could still be considered extremely proficient. If engaged in combat, he could guarantee that he could swiftly convert between the two Dou Techniques without compromising speed, thus achieving the effect of injuring the opponent.
“Brother Xiao Yan, that guy seems to have become much stronger than before…” Beside him, Xuner glanced at Galley Jia, not far away, and suddenly smiled lightly.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said indifferently, “Last time, his father bought a high-level Mystic Grade Wind Attribute cultivation technique at the auction. Galley Jia himself is also a Wind Attribute. In a year’s time, it was enough for him to convert his previous Dou Qi to the new cultivation technique. Naturally, his strength would have increased significantly.”
“Hehe, no wonder he’s so arrogant. Is a high-level Mystic Grade cultivation technique very rare?” Xuner asked with a smile, her eyes flashing with a faint golden flame.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a grin and teased, “For you, a little rich girl who casually pulls out a high-level Mystic Grade cultivation technique, it’s naturally not rare.”
Hearing Xiao Yan’s teasing, Xuner wrinkled her delicate nose, glared at him, and said somewhat resentfully, “Even if it’s rare, wouldn’t Brother Xiao Yan still not be interested?”
Xiao Yan chuckled awkwardly and quickly gestured towards the stage, saying, “The auction has started…”
Seeing Xiao Yan feign ignorance, Xuner could only shake her head helplessly and turned her gaze to the auction stage, which had suddenly lit up.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Yafei, dressed in a red qipao-like outfit, stepped onto the auction stage with a graceful gait. Her voluptuous figure, tightly wrapped in the red qipao, immediately drew the heated gazes of some people in the audience.
With a charming smile on her face, Yafei covered her mouth and said a few playful words to the audience below. The mature allure that almost made men’s lower abdomen stir with desire easily heated up the atmosphere.
Seeing the sudden heat in the atmosphere, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but lick his lips. Sure enough, the chief auctioneer of the Mi Ter Auction House, with just a few words, had turned some men with weak self-control into overheated beasts. If Yafei were to casually take a cheap item from the stalls and sell it now, some people below might even buy it as a treasure.
Looking at the heated crowd, Yafei felt a hint of pride in her heart. Years of experience had made her realize how strong her beauty’s attraction was to men. With a faint smile on her red lips, she let her eyes roam over the audience. When her gaze fell on the young man sitting behind Xiao Zhan, she was slightly startled.
Although the young man seemed to be staring at the stage, his wandering, black eyes made Yafei realize that he did not show much interest in her appearance. At that moment, her eyebrows slightly raised in surprise.
Shifting her gaze from Xiao Yan without a trace, Yafei parted her red lips, laughed lightly, clapped her hands, and said with a smile, “Ladies and gentlemen, Yafei knows the purpose of your presence here. Therefore, we will skip the opening dishes of the auction and go straight to the main course.”
With that, Yafei raised her hand, and the stage lights dimmed. Bending down slightly, she retrieved a jade plate from the center of the stage. On the plate, there was a small white jade bottle.
Seeing the small white jade bottle, the eyes of the audience immediately became more fervent, and they all prepared to get their hands on it.
“The Foundation Spirit Liquid this time is from the same person as the one auctioned last time. The medicinal power is the same, and the grade is the same. Moreover, it has been personally authenticated by Master Gunny of our auction house, so everyone can rest assured.” Yafei smiled lightly, then her gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Yan in the audience, her smile charming and alluring. “Last time, the Foundation Spirit Liquid was purchased by the Head of the Xiao Clan. After purchasing the spirit liquid, Young Master Xiao Yan managed to jump from the third level of Dou Qi to the eighth level in just one year. Whether this was due to the Foundation Spirit Liquid… hehe, Yafei doesn’t know.”
As she spoke, a mischievous glint flashed in Yafei’s beautiful eyes.
Hearing Yafei’s words, the audience’s gaze immediately shifted to Xiao Yan, who was still somewhat stunned in the front row. Amazed exclamations filled the air. Although Xiao Yan’s terrifying cultivation speed had already spread throughout Wu Tan City, many had not seen it firsthand. Now, with the chance to witness it, it was natural for them to express their amazement. Of course, at the same time, it deepened their determination to obtain the Foundation Spirit Liquid.
Not far away, Galley Jia, seeing Xiao Yan become the focus, pulled his mouth into a cold sneer, his face filled with disdain.
Feeling the attention of the crowd, Xiao Yan squirmed uncomfortably. He felt rather amused and frustrated. This woman was too clever, using him as free advertising. With a living example like him, the price of the Foundation Spirit Liquid on the stage might rise by at least 20-30%.
“Ah, this woman… not being a merchant is such a waste.” Xiao Yan sighed again. Although he was annoyed by the gazes around him, thinking about the items on the stage being his, he could only shake his head helplessly and glare fiercely at the smiling Yafei on the stage.
Ignoring Xiao Yan’s glare, Yafei boldly returned a charming and alluring smile, causing the men behind Xiao Yan to secretly swallow their saliva.
“The first bottle of Foundation Spirit Liquid, starting bid, fifteen thousand!” Yafei, with a smile, boldly opened the bidding, doubling the price of the Foundation Spirit Liquid.
“Wow, so ruthless…” Below the stage, hearing the price, Xiao Yan cracked a grin and shook his head inwardly. Women are indeed the most ruthless creatures.
