The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Most of the representatives also knew that although the Temir Auction House claimed to give its guests confidence in the auction, they also vaguely knew that the Temir Auction House was simply building up the hype for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid so that it could actually fetch a good price in the end.

In fact, the representatives of these forces were not wrong. Ya Fei had been immersed in this business at the Temir Auction House for at least seven or eight years. She knew the ropes of how to get higher prices at auctions.

In any case, this auction was specifically for promoting and building momentum for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Ya Fei also devised a series of plans and steps to slowly wear down the patience of the major powers, so that they would eventually be unsure and might be able to sell it for a higher and better price.

The campaign continues...

Master Gu Ni reached out, and the thin silver needle slowly inserted into the blue liquid in the white jade bottle, then gently stirred it.

As the silver needle stirred, Master Gu Ni's expression gradually changed from a faint smile to a solemn one. Instantly, when the crowd in the auction hall saw Master Gu Ni's expression, the lively atmosphere froze again. What exactly was going on?

Master Gu Ni retrieved the silver needle into his storage ring, his gaze sweeping across the entire hall. A hint of respect crept into the arrogance on his face, typical of an alchemist. He then brought the magic core microphone to his lips, his voice deep and tinged with shock, saying, "Distinguished guests, after my personal testing, this Foundation Establishment Elixir is already at the pinnacle of a second-grade pill. In fact, to a certain extent, it's already a third-grade elixir..."

After speaking, Master Gu Ni slowly exhaled. What he truly hadn't expected was that cultivators below the Dou Zhe level rarely had pills that could significantly improve their cultivation. Even if they did, the effect was minimal, as their meridians were still extremely fragile. Therefore, cultivators at this stage could generally only slowly and methodically increase their Dou Qi level…

But now all of that has been overturned by this Foundation Establishment Elixir. The pill's level has almost reached the third grade, and according to reliable sources, this Foundation Establishment Elixir has no side effects. Its medicinal effects are extremely mild and will not cause any damage to the fragile meridians of cultivators below the Dou Zhe level, which makes it even more precious...

After catching his breath, Master Gu Ni continued, "Specifically speaking, this Foundation Establishment Elixir has already stepped into the ranks of third-grade pills, and after testing, its medicinal effects have no side effects..."

Seeing Master Gu Ni's enthusiastic praise at the auction stage, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile. This Foundation Establishment Elixir was refined by Elder Yao; didn't he understand its specific effects? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this Foundation Establishment Elixir was a top-tier pill below the Dou Zhe level…

Beside her, Xiao Mei, who had already used the Foundation Establishment Elixir, tilted her head slightly to the left, her charming eyes gazing at Xiao Xuanyuan with a hint of affection hidden deep within them...

Today will be a joyous day for the entire Xiao family. Thanks to Xiao Xuanyuan's connection, the Temir Auction House is now very close to the Xiao family, which is undoubtedly a timely help for the Xiao family, which is like a camel that is about to die... How can this not be a happy event?

Moreover, on this lively day, many of the younger generation of the Xiao family were brought to the auction by their elders. Among them were Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning. And because of their elder brother Xiao Xuanyuan, his two younger brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Shan also came...

After the introduction by the second-grade alchemist Gu Ni, all the forces in the auction house were eager to try their luck.

"Let's auction the Foundation Establishment Elixir now..."

"Our Jialie family must obtain this spiritual 'liquid'..."

"Let's wait and see..."

Representatives from various factions filled the auction hall, creating an unprecedentedly high atmosphere.

Once the atmosphere had heated up, Master Gu Ni slowly stepped down and took his place at the auction stage, where Ya Fei stood: "I'm sure everyone heard what Master Gu Ni said earlier. He is a genuine second-grade alchemist, and this Foundation Establishment Elixir might even be above the level of a third-grade pill..."

There was a pause, and after everyone reacted, the atmosphere warmed up even more. Ya Fei continued, "...According to reliable sources from our Temir Auction House, in five or six months, Canaan Academy, the premier academy on the Dou Qi Continent, will be coming to Wutan City to recruit students. At that time, hehe..."

Ya Fei's alluring eyes sparkled, and a charming, seductive smile appeared on her face. In that instant, the entire auction hall seemed to brighten; her smile was captivating and mesmerizing...

"...If any of you distinguished guests manages to acquire these bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, then your family's younger generation might have a few more spots to enter Canaan Academy... Now that I've said all that, I believe everyone understands. From now on, these six bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir will be auctioned in three batches. The first batch will begin with a starting price of 10,000 gold coins!"

At this point, Ya Feiyu struck the small bell on the auction stage with her auction hammer...

clang~

After such a long period of hype, the first batch of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid has officially begun filming...

"I bid 20,000 gold coins..." The auction had barely begun when the patriarch of a small clan in a corner of the auction hall excitedly raised his bidding token and shouted out double the original price...

But before long, a second small family stepped forward and shouted "40,000 gold coins." However, judging from the old man representing that small family, whose face was flushed red, this was probably the highest price they could afford...

However, there were only six bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, and it was auctioned off in three batches. Given the scarcity of resources, how could the many prepared forces give up so easily?

As a result, bids for this first batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir kept coming in, and the price kept rising...

"Forty-one thousand gold coins..."

"Forty-two thousand gold coins..."

"Forty-five thousand gold coins..."

Small forces and families kept coming out to bid, their faces flushed red, some even turning a purplish-red... They were all going all out, showing they had poured all their savings into the bidding!

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Sky-High Price Fetched

As various large and small families and forces came out to bid, the price of the first batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir skyrocketed...

"Fifty thousand gold coins..."

"Fifty-five thousand..."

……

The faces of those minor factions and families were flushed red, looking like they were putting all their might into it.

As for the three major families of Wutancheng, along with several large medicinal herb merchants and weapons dealers, they all watched with solemn expressions as paddles were raised and the auction prices continued to rise, yet they remained unmoved. They simply exchanged knowing glances, waiting to see if the other would make a move.

This time, the major forces in Wutancheng received news that the Sky-Piercing Merchant Alliance of Tran City and the Black Flame Gang, an underground force in Black Flame City, had also sent people. With these two forces, whose strength and capital were in no way inferior to the three major families of Wutancheng, apart from the Xiao family, the other two families dared not easily ignore them.

Seeing the lively atmosphere and bidding in the auction, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile. Observing the desperate efforts of these forces, he was confident that these six bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir would allow him to make a fortune today.

Ya Fei's eyes sparkled, and she turned her beautiful gaze back, a charming smile playing on her lips as she looked towards Xiao Xuanyuan. The two exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken, as if they were telepathically connected. Unconsciously, they seemed to have both read each other's minds...

The heated bidding continued in the auction room...

"Ninety thousand gold coins..."

"One hundred thousand gold coins..."

"One hundred and eleven thousand gold coins..."

With the bidding soaring to this price point, many smaller factions and families have fallen silent, no longer daring to utter a sound. After all, the astronomical price of 100,000 is already beyond their means; if they were to bid any higher, they wouldn't have the funds to pay the difference…

Therefore, once the price reached over 100,000 gold coins, the smaller forces and families that had been bidding so enthusiastically all stopped, their last glimmer of hope extinguished. For just two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, regardless of whether it had the rumored miraculous effects, it would be utterly not worth destroying their own power.

The enthusiastic bidding gradually cooled down...

"130,000..."

"140,000..."

Now, only two small families are bidding. The patriarch of one of these families trembled violently upon hearing the offer of 140,000. His aged, upright body swayed involuntarily. 130,000 was all the wealth his family could offer, but at this moment…

The old man, who appeared to be the clan leader, gritted his teeth, raised his cane and struck it heavily, making a dull thud as it hit the wooden planks on his body.

"We've sold off the advanced Yellow-Rank cultivation technique in our family. Once this Foundation Establishment Elixir helps one of our younger members gain a place at Canaan Academy, our family will have achieved a further advancement..."

He said something to the elderly and younger people beside him, and the old man decisively raised his bidding paddle...

"140,000 gold coins, anyone else bidding? This is a grade three pill that can enhance one's fighting spirit. With this Foundation Establishment Elixir, I believe another junior will have a spot to enter Canaan Academy..."

Ya Fei's alluring and seductive voice echoed throughout the auction hall once again, but the hall had already cooled down, falling into complete silence...

After repeated greetings, no one else raised the price. Ya Fei maintained her charming smile and slowly tapped the small gavel in her jade-like hand once more...

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xuanyuan was also a little puzzled. Two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir could be sold for 140,000, which was worth it. However, he was still puzzled as to why the other two major families in Wutancheng had not made a sound. Did they not care?

It would be hard to believe that they wouldn't be tempted at all if it meant their family could get an extra spot at Canaan Academy.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was filled with doubt, a trembling bidding paddle was raised, as if using all its strength: "I...I bid 150,000..."

"This old gentleman has offered 150,000. Who else wants to bid? A spot at Canaan Academy is extremely difficult to come by..."

The auction hall fell silent for a moment before Ya Fei's gavel struck the small bell on the auction platform: "Fifteen thousand per bid..."

After a long silence, Ya Fei tapped the hammer again: "150,000 twice. If no one bids again, the hammer will fall..."

"This could be the birth of another genius for the clan! This is an opportunity that must not be missed, for it will never come again..."

The atmosphere in the auction hall became somewhat tense; everyone held their breath, waiting for the final, third gavel to fall…

Xiao Xuanyuan smiled, then shook his head. It seemed the price for this first batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir had been set? But he didn't believe the Obama and Jialie families would be able to hold back. Once the price of this first batch was settled, the remaining two batches certainly wouldn't be lower than that price… Moreover, Ya Fei had just given news that the two major powers from Black Flame City and Tran City had arrived. With so many wolves and so little meat, and only six bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir available, if they didn't secure this first batch, the second and third batches would be even more difficult to obtain…

In any case, Xiao Xuanyuan was not in a hurry at all. He believed that these influential forces would definitely not be able to hold back any longer...

Sure enough, after Ya Fei called out the price twice and struck the tuning peg twice, she struck the tuning peg again, her sexy red lips slightly parted: "Fifteen thousand, the third time..."

"Sixteen thousand gold coins..."

At this moment, the head of the Oba family, Obapa, finally couldn't hold back any longer. As he called out the price, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the area of ​​the Gale family. At the very top of that area, Galebi also looked at him with a sinister smile.

After Obappa shouted out this high price, the old man who had previously prepared to sell even the core Yellow-rank advanced cultivation technique of his family as a bargaining chip was completely exhausted and plopped down in the back seat. At this moment, his clothes were soaked with sweat...

Even if the Obama family patriarch didn't bid, he was already prepared to make a move; however, his shrewdness and patience far surpassed those of Obama...

A smug look appeared on the old man's face. The patriarch of the Jialie family, Jialiebi, slowly raised his bidding paddle. "I bid two hundred thousand gold coins..."

Shhh~

A collective gasp rippled through the auction hall. The first batch of Foundation Establishment Elixir had risen from a starting price of 10,000 gold coins to its current price of 160,000 gold coins, with each bid not exceeding 20,000. Yet, the Jia Lie family had raised the price by 40,000 gold coins in a single bid—a truly extravagant move…

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Major Powers

Amidst the murmurs of surprise in the auction hall, the smug look on Jialiebi's face intensified. As the number one family in terms of strength and capital among the three major families of Wutancheng, the Jialie family had raised even more substantial funds. Therefore, Jialiebi was absolutely confident in obtaining the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

However, despite having a plan in mind, Jia Liebi was still quite worried. He shifted his gaze to the area where the Black Flame Gang and the Sky-Piercing Merchant Alliance were located. The leaders of the two major forces in those areas looked relaxed, holding a glass of high-end red wine and drinking it casually, as if they didn't care much about the auction of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. However, their eyes kept glancing at Ya Fei on the auction stage.

To be precise, it was the Foundation Establishment Elixir in front of Ya Fei. The representative of the Qingtian Business Alliance was a beautiful young lady with a waterfall of golden hair and bright blue eyes full of spirit. She exuded a unique charm of a businesswoman, calm, composed, and elegant. Her bright red nail polish shone with a different kind of high-end beauty under the light.

Alice parted her red lips slightly, drank the bright red wine in her hand, and casually placed the empty glass on the table beside her. She called out to the white-haired old man standing next to her: "Butler Chen, how much money has Father prepared for me this time?"

Her voice is beautiful, full of a uniquely feminine charm and magnetism.

"Miss, the master has prepared a full two million gold coins for us this time..." The old man cautiously approached and whispered in Alice's ear...

Attracted by Alice's cascading golden hair, many of the younger generation couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. However, under the intimidation of the dozen or so burly guards beside her, none of them dared to look too closely or offend her...

"Hehe, this much gold is enough, but the woman on the auction stage is quite beautiful, comparable to me..." Women are emotional creatures, and they inevitably compare themselves to each other, no matter where they are. A woman as beautiful as Alice is no exception.

Soon, the bidding between the Garle family and the Oba family kept rising, with the price reaching 300,000 gold coins. Obapa and Garlebi were arguing fiercely, neither willing to give up.

After bidding another 310,000 gold coins, Galebi cupped his hands in a salute to Obaba and said, "Chief Obaba, we are all from the great families of Wutancheng. We should help each other out. Look, people from Blackflame City and Tran City have come to this auction. If we continue to compete like this, won't we just be like the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits?"

"Why don't our two families join forces and confront the external forces together? Perhaps we can achieve a win-win situation that way?"

After another round of telepathic discussions, the two finally decided to form an alliance. Neither of them was confident of facing the two major forces of Sky Alliance in Tran City and Black Flame Gang in Black Flame City alone. Only by joining forces could they have a certain degree of confidence.

So when Galebi raised the price to 310,000, the Obama family did not join in the bidding but remained silent.

However, there were only six bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir, which were to be auctioned in three batches. How could the Sky-Piercing Merchant Alliance and the Black Flame Gang so easily allow the Jia Lie family to obtain it?

Immediately after Ya Fei struck the first bell, Alice elegantly raised her bidding paddle, her long, sensual red lips slightly parted, and said, "I bid four hundred thousand gold coins..."
