Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 64 Auction

"Go arrange the auction immediately. If you dare to say anything more, you'll lose your job as an appraiser."

Gu Ni's words were cold and filled with suppressed anger. The middle-aged man's forehead broke out in sweat and his body trembled. He didn't have time to think about it and quickly took out an iron token from his pocket.
"Sir, your lot will be auctioned immediately at Auction House No. 1. With this token, you can choose any seat in the front row of the auction house!"

"Hmm." Although Xiao Yan was disdainful of this man's behavior of being respectful at first and rude later, he had no intention of getting entangled with him. After taking the token, he slowly walked out of the room under the gaze of the two.

Seeing Xiao Yan's figure disappear, the middle-aged man didn't dare to breathe. He lowered his head and bowed to Gu Ni beside him, his eyes full of fear.

"You are so stupid! You have been an appraiser for so many years, and you have treated it like a dog!" With a cold snort, the anger in Gu Ni's tone was no longer suppressed and was fully revealed.
"That gentleman is unwilling to argue with you. Otherwise, you would have no chance of survival in the entire Wutan City."

Although the middle-aged man admitted his mistake after being scolded, he was still confused in his heart. In his opinion, Gu Ni was just a second-grade alchemist and there was no need for him to care so much about this grade of spiritual liquid.

After thinking for a moment, he bravely asked, "Master Gu Ni, could he really be an alchemist?"

"I have been practicing alchemy for many years and I believe that I am very sensitive to soul power. Although that gentleman did not reveal a single bit of his aura before, his soul power can only be described as unfathomable."

After venting his anger, Gu Ni thought for a moment and said coldly, "The effect of this spiritual liquid is truly unique. Moreover, my previous investigation revealed that the refining technique for this liquid is not very skilled, but the fire control ability is truly exquisite. Do you understand the meaning of this?"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still confused, Gu Ni shook his head and said bluntly, "I can assert that this spiritual liquid was developed by that gentleman himself, and this bottle is just a test sample he used for testing."

Develop your own recipe?

The middle-aged man's jaw dropped. Developing a pill formula on his own was something that even Master Gu Ni couldn't do, let alone a special formula for Dou Qi cultivation, which was extremely groundbreaking.
His legs felt weak, and the middle-aged man slumped down in his chair, muttering, "Master Gu Ni, I know I was wrong."

"What's the use of you admitting your mistake? After the auction is over, let Yafei receive him and be sure to tell her that this is what I meant." Gu Ni left with a wave of his sleeves after leaving these cold words.

At the same time, Xiao Yan, under the guidance of the reception maid, walked into the auction that was in progress.

As soon as he entered, the bright surroundings dimmed instantly, and the overwhelming noise poured into his ears, making Xiao Yan's eardrums a little uncomfortable as he had just escaped from the isolated environment.

Xiao Yan found a secluded spot and sat down. He looked ahead and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress. She was explaining the function of the items in her hand to everyone in the room in a voice so charming that it made people's bones soften.

Amid the woman's crisp and gentle voice, the price of the item, which was actually not that rare, was rapidly increasing at a fiery speed.

"This person should be Ya Fei, she is indeed a demon."

A beautiful figure that he had not seen for a long time flashed through his mind, and Xiao Yan suddenly lost interest in the woman in front of him.

Using one's appearance as a means of alluring others is, after all, a bit superficial. If it were Ruoruo, even with an ordinary girl's face, she would probably be able to easily charm those around her.
Of course, the premise is that you can't get started, otherwise you will fall out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan showed a teasing smile. This could be considered as one of her weaknesses. However, compared to a weakness, it would be better to say that this was a rare commonality between her and other girls.

Just as Xiao Yan was lost in thought, Ya Fei on the stage suddenly raised her voice a few notches, and in front of everyone's gaze, she took out a tray containing a small white jade bottle.

"Everyone, the auction house just received a new item. I think everyone might be quite interested."

Hearing this, the venue, which had been quiet for a moment, suddenly became noisy. In the eyes of everyone, Ya Fei, as the chief auctioneer of the Miter Auction House, would never do anything without an aim. Immediately, everyone was ready to find an opportunity to take it down.

Carefully picking up the white jade bottle with her delicate hands, Ya Fei said in a charming voice, "This is a first-grade elixir."

"What? A first-grade elixir? Miss Yafei, please stop kidding me." "Although a first-grade elixir is good, it shouldn't be something that Miss Yafei cares about so much, right?"

Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Ya Fei chuckled softly, and her extremely seductive expression made the eyes of many people present become hot again.

After the emotions on the scene were aroused, she finally explained slowly: "An ordinary first-grade elixir would naturally not make Ya Fei so concerned, but the origin of this bottle of elixir is quite remarkable."

"This item is called Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid. It can accelerate the cultivation of those at the mid-level Dou Qi level and below. Moreover, Master Gu Ni of our auction house has appraised this item as the first spiritual liquid refined after the recipe was created."

"In other words, this bottle of medicine was made by an alchemist who can create his own special medicine formula. There should be no need for Yafei to elaborate on its value, right?"

Listening to Ya Fei's words, Xiao Yan's face turned strange. He shook his head and thought to himself, "If that Gu Ni knew that this spiritual liquid was just an inferior version I made to become a first-grade alchemist, I wonder what her reaction would be."

However, this kind of propaganda method is beneficial to him and harmless, so there is naturally no need to actively expose it.

As Xiao Yan expected, as soon as Ya Fei finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of gasps and hissing sounds from the audience.

Self-created special recipe!

Even Master Gu Ni, the highest-ranking master in Wutan City, probably doesn't have the ability to create his own special pill formula!
In other words, the person who refined this kind of medicine must be a noble alchemist who is much higher in rank than Master Gu Ni.

The grade of the elixir determines the lower limit of its value, but the grade of the person who refines it determines its upper limit. Just imagine, if it is a first-grade elixir refined by the Pill King Gu He, who can buy it at an ordinary price?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ya Fei twitched her red lips and said, "The starting price for this bottle of elixir is 1000 gold coins!"

"1200!"

"2000!"

"Humph, you're offering such a meager price to a master alchemist who's even more advanced than Master Gu Ni?"

Suddenly, an old man with a fierce face and a hint of depression said slowly: "Five thousand!"

Seeing this person bidding, the originally noisy auction hall suddenly became quieter.

This man is the elder of the Galile family. Galile is angry.
Although the Gale family has declined recently, it is still among the three overlords of Wutan City. As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone naturally lost the desire to raise the price.

Five thousand gold coins to buy a bottle of first-grade elixir is still too expensive.

Glancing at the eyes of the crowd, Jiale Nu looked quite smug, sneering in his heart: "What a bunch of idiots! The alchemist master is probably watching from the audience. If I bid for this, I might even win his favor. How can I value it with just 5,000 gold coins?"

He cleared his throat and said to Yafei, "Ms. Yafei, I don't think anyone will raise the price anymore, right? Can we announce the results of the auction now?"

Hearing this, Ya Fei, who was somewhat dazed, nodded gently and quickly went through the auction process. She brought down the hammer and said in a sweet voice, "Congratulations, Elder Jia Lienu. Five thousand gold coins, deal!"

Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the back, almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene on the field. Looking at the old man's slightly smug expression, he found it funny no matter how he looked at it.

The Gale family always seems to like giving him money.
