Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start
Chapter 60 Participating in the Auction
In the afternoon, Xiao Zhan sent someone to inform Xiao Yao that he would be attending an auction later.
When Xiao Yao arrived at the hall, he saw that Xiao Zhan, several elders, and the young members of the family were already there preparing.
When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yao arrive, he grinned and waved his hand, saying, "Now that everyone's here, let's head over to the auction house together."
Upon seeing this, Xun'er quickly came over and took Xiao Yao's hand, smiling broadly as she said, "I thought Brother Xiao Yao wasn't coming!"
"Xun'er, staying at home is a bit boring, and besides, even you went to the auction, so of course I have to go with you, right, Xun'er?"
"Hmm~, is it because Xun'er is with you that Brother Xiao Yao is so happy?" The girl's clear and melodious voice, like a silver bell, reached Xiao Yao's ears.
The group stepped out of the hall and headed towards the auction venue.
......
Today's auction at Mittel was undoubtedly the busiest it had been in six months. The spacious hall was packed with people, filled with a cacophony of noise.
Xiao Zhan frowned and shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to let the auction house staff lead them through the VIP entrance before they could enter the auction house safely.
Inside the auction, although there were quite a few people, it was much quieter than outside. Xiao Zhan scanned the room and then led Xiao Yao and the others to a seat near the front of the auction stage.
The two sat a little further back. Xiao Yao looked around boredly, then leaned back lazily in his chair, waiting for the auction to begin.
"Sister, in about six months, it should be time for Canaan Academy to start its enrollment for this year, right?" Xiao Ning's voice came from in front of Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Yan sitting next to Xiao Yao, and said with a hint of pride, "Don't worry, you've already qualified for admission. Moreover, the person in charge of admissions for the Wutan City area is my mentor. She's a five-star Great Dou Master, you know. With me speaking up for you, there definitely won't be any problems."
"Hehe, that's good." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning's face immediately lit up with joy, and he nodded excitedly.
"Brother Xiao Yao, are you planning to take the entrance exam for Canaan Academy in six months?" Xun'er asked softly, looking at Xiao Yao's calm expression.
Hearing Xun'er's question, Xiao Yu's gaze also turned to Xiao Yao, her face full of curiosity.
Xiao Yao laughed and said, "Actually, I don't really like being a student. After all, what's the point of learning when you're with a bunch of little brats? How about I become an elder and teach you?"
"Hmph, quite arrogant. Do you think the academy will beg you to join? You're arrogant just because you have a little talent. Do you know that to become an outer dean elder, you need to reach at least the Great Dou Master level?" Xiao Yu said irritably, listening to Xiao Yao's disdainful tone.
"Brother Xiao Yao, why don't you stay a student like Xun'er? Otherwise, if you become an elder, Xun'er will have fewer opportunities to see you," Xun'er said coquettishly, pulling on Xiao Yao's hand.
Seeing Xun'er's feigned aggrieved expression, Xiao Yao gently patted her little hand and said softly, "Alright, your brother Xiao Yao won't be an elder. I'll go with you to register."
Xun'er smiled smugly and said happily, "Hmph, Brother Xiao Yao, that's more like it."
Behind a group of people, Xiao Yao suddenly noticed a somewhat sinister gaze. He turned his head slightly and found that it was Jia Lie'ao, the person he had clashed with in the market that day.
At this moment, the young master of the Jialie family was staring at him with ill intent, occasionally glancing at Xun'er's exquisite figure beside him with covetous eyes. When he saw Xiao Yao looking over, he immediately chuckled in a sinister voice.
Squinting at the smug-looking Galeo, Xiao Yao smiled slightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.
After a while, Xiao Yao casually withdrew his slightly cold gaze, not wanting to bother with such a clown.
"Brother Xiao Yao, that guy seems to be much stronger than before..." Xun'er glanced at Galeo not far away and suddenly chuckled.
Xiao Yao said calmly, "Last time, his father bought a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique with wind attribute at the auction. Galeo himself also has wind attribute. A year is enough time for him to convert his old battle qi into the battle qi of the new technique. His strength is naturally much stronger than before."
"Hehe, no wonder you're so arrogant. Are high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques that rare?" Xun'er said with a smile, a faint golden flame flashing in her autumn-water eyes.
Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, patted Xun'er's head, and said with a playful smile, "For a rich girl like you who can casually pull out a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, it's naturally nothing special."
Hearing Xiao Yan's teasing, Xun'er wrinkled her pert nose and said with a hint of resentment, "Yes, someone is not willing to accept Xun'er's kindness."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a woman dressed in a red cheongsam, the chief auctioneer Ya Fei, gracefully walked onto the auction stage. Her curvaceous figure, tightly wrapped in the red cheongsam, immediately ignited a burning passion in the eyes of some people in the room.
"Knowing the purpose of your visit, the pre-auction appetizers have been omitted, and the best stuff will be brought out directly."
As she spoke, Ya Fei gently raised her jade hand, and the lights on the stage dimmed considerably. She bent down slightly and took out a jade plate from the stage, on which were placed two small white jade bottles.
Upon seeing the small white jade bottle, the gazes of the crowd below immediately became much more intense, and they rubbed their hands together, ready to take it for themselves.
"The Foundation Establishment Elixir this time is different from the elixir auctioned last time. They all come from a mysterious alchemist. These elixirs were made by a pair of fellow disciples. The Foundation Establishment Elixir sold today was made by that senior brother. Its medicinal power is better than before, and its grade is also top-notch."
Yafi paused, deliberately building everyone's suspense, before continuing, "What's even more noteworthy is that the Foundation Establishment Elixir being sold today has been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni. As a senior appraiser at this auction house, Master Gu Ni has in-depth research and unique insights into elixirs. His appraisal undoubtedly provides strong assurance of the quality of this batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir."
A confident smile played on Yafei's lips as she looked at the excited crowd whispering among themselves. She gently covered her mouth and announced in a sweet voice, "Two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, auction price: 30,000! Each bid must increase by at least 1,000!"
Looking at Yafei's jade-like skin and eyes as clear as autumn water, with an indescribable charm in every smile and frown, like a peony bud about to bloom, beautiful but not gaudy, full but not vulgar, charming and alluring, the young man hurriedly shouted out: "Thirty-five thousand."
After announcing the price, the pale-faced young man bowed slightly to Ya Fei on the stage, feigning elegance, completely forgetting that his eyes were fixed on the latter's ample breasts.
Ya Fei maintained her perfect smile and chuckled at the audience, "Any more bids?"
"forty thousand."
"Forty-one thousand"
......
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in noise again, with shouts of increasing prices making the young man look embarrassed. When the price was finally raised to 50,000, he had no choice but to sit back down awkwardly.
Looking at Yafei's charming figure and captivating smile on the stage, Xiao Yao sighed inwardly, "The chief auctioneer truly lives up to her reputation. Just her every smile and gesture can captivate countless people and touch their hearts."
"Fifty-one thousand." The patriarch of the Jia Lie family slowly called out the price as the noise in the arena gradually subsided.
"Heh heh, Galibi, did you spend all the family's money last time you bought the cultivation technique? Why are you so stingy now? You can even offer a thousand?" Hearing Galibi's bid, Obapa, who was not on good terms with him, immediately mocked.
Galebi glared coldly at Obaba, but did not respond to his words. Instead, he stared at the two jade bottles on the stage.
"Fifty-five thousand." Seeing no reaction to the mockery, Obapa also got a little bored, raised his hand, and called out lightly.
