The moment those words came out of Xiao Zhan's mouth, the entire hall fell silent. Moments later, one after another, everyone's gaze turned to the pale face of Jia Lie Bi, excited over the calamity that had befallen her.
“Haha, 100,000 gold coins for two bottles of Foundation Elixir ... this person is really wasteful.” Watching Jia Lie Bi's face being restrained, Xiao Yan lowered his head to hide his mischievous smile and muttered.
Looking at the arrogant Xiao Yan, Xun Er smiled and, gently laughing, she said: “Usually, the second rank pill will have a market value of at most 30,000 gold. Foundation Elixir was a magic medicine capable of increasing the training speed of a Dou Zi Qi and was relatively rare, so its price had to be much higher than a second rank pill. However ... using 100,000 gold to buy it, this Jie Lie Bi is really “boros”. ”
Xiao Yan laughed as he nodded in agreement. He licked his lips with a longing before he smiled and said: “If a bottle of second-rate Elixir Foundation can be sold for tens of thousands of gold, doesn't this mean that the great alchemist can swim with gold?”
“Alchemy is the richest profession in the continent, in fact, every Alchemist has many properties.” Xun Er smiled as she nodded her head. Turning his gaze to Foundation Elixirs on stage, he continued: “As the Alchemist rankings rose, they did not auction their products often. Instead they prefer to engage in barter, because money is no longer valuable to them. ”.
A barter? Xiao Yan's eyebrows shot up and realized that he had gained quite a bit of insight as to why Yao Lao had such an abundant store of secret treasures.
“Yes, they use things like Dou Techniques, Qi Methods, rare alchemy ingredients or high-level Monster Core to exchange such pills.” The corner of his reddish lips tilted upwards, forming a smile as Xun Er continued her lecture, “As a result, it was often said that the Alchemist was the most envious profession on the continent. Everyone dreamed of becoming an alchemist but that dream was often shattered by harsh and unreachable requirements. ”
Observing the somewhat regretful Xun Er, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, grateful for the mutation in his soul.
Deciding not to continue the conversation, Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards the pale face of Jia Lie Bi.
Similarly, Jia Lie Bi was startled by Xiao Zhan's words, he stared foolishly at Xiao Zhan who easily succumbed to the bidding war as the corner of his eyes twitched in disbelief. It felt like half a day had passed before finally realizing it. Jia Lie Bi hoarse: “Bags, you tricked me again! It's all just acting! ”
“Hehe, aren't you trying to do the same thing, except lately your mind has been a little distracted and your acting Xiao Zhan laughed in satisfaction, his tone full of ridicule.
“Good, good, very good, very good, the best, Xiao Zhan, I, Jia Lie Bi will remember those words!” Jia Lie Bi continued to exhale furiously, her gaze cold and venomous.
Xiao Zhan ignored his threat, with a final grin he turned to face Ya Fei and said: “Mrs Ya Fei, let's start the final auction.”
Nodding, Ya Fei smiled while maintaining her impartial expression. But inside, he laughed out loud at this turn of events. This auction had exceeded his wildest expectations and the better the profit, the more mysterious alchemists would like the auction house.
Appreciating Jia Lie Bi's pale face with a comforting smile, Ya Fei once again bowed to pick up the last two bottles of Foundation Elixir. Completing her rosy lips with a dazzling smile, she announced: “Girls, this is the last potion, similarly, her initial offer was 30,000.”
Calmly sitting in his chair, Xiao Zhan did not pay attention to the signals of the elders. Instead, his gaze swirled around the auction house, circling full length before he finally announced in a cold tone: “50 000.”
After hearing Xiao Zhan's offer, Jia Lie Bi's face stiffened as her mouth instinctively began to open, but thinking about her current financial crisis, she could only close it regretfully.
In another corner Ao Ba Pa continued to stare at the stoic Xiao Zhan. Frowning his brows and banging his fingers against the back of his hand, Ao Ba Pa's eyes faintly flickered in a revelation movement. For a moment, he smiled faintly and said “55,000”
The three great clans in Wu Tang City had a strange relationship, each wanting to spend the other two's business, yet each was afraid to act against the other clans, he said, because a neutral clan would benefit from them doing so. However even if two of them join hands, they cannot avoid to suspect their ‘pair’. Thus, unless they were convinced to annihilate one party completely, the three parties could only continue the complicated and fragile impasse that had formed between them.
Each of the three great clans had their own grudges; each could not bear to see the other. Whereas before, Ao Ba Pa had once ridiculed and sneered at Jia Lie Bi and now after Xiao Zhan had bid, he had, Ao Ba Pa was more than willing to compete with Xiao Zhan so the Xiao Clan would lose a little more money.
Ao Ba Pa's offer did not make Xiao Zhan's facial expression change. With a casual glance, Xiao Zhan exclaimed, “65,000.”
65,000 was a bit too much for the regular market price for Foundation Elixir but Xiao Zhan also knew deep down that in these 3 ways of struggle between clans, there was a huge amount of money, it is impossible to buy Foundation Elixir at a low or even fair price .
“Hehe, Xiao Clan Leader is indeed wasteful but I am afraid of being tricked by you. I already have Foundation Elixir, so I'll give this one to you. ” After Xiao Zhan's offer, Ao Bo Pa started to hesitate. It seemed that after losing the great Jia Lei Bi, he had become even more cautious.
Xiao Zhan looked at Ao Ba Pa and relaxed in his chair while laughing. The smile, or whatever Ao Ba Pa was putting on his face was definitely not what the man felt. Regardless, Xiao Zhan was still complaining afterwards: “Damn, I have to pay an extra 10,000. This bastard is no good. ”
Hearing those words, Xiao Yan felt that it was funny. In this kind of battle, were there any good people? If the other party were not afraid of ending up in trouble like Jia Lie Bi, he would definitely continue to raise the bid even more before finally letting the matter down.
Tapping his fingers, Xiao Yan directed his gaze up on the stage to Ya Fei, who had just dropped a small hammer, signaling the end of the auction. Inwardly, he heaved a sigh of relief, this amount of money would be enough for a period of time. Now, all that was left was the alchemy ingredients and for Yao Lao to refine the Qi Gathering Powder …
“In a moment, I will become a Dou Zhe...”
Xiao Yan licked his lips and let out a long sigh, the first obstacle in his training journey will be overcome soon!
