Crying After Being Scammed, Jia Liebi!

Crying After Being Scammed, Jia Liebi! Catching the sly glint in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xiao Zhan was briefly stunned before bursting into laughter.

As expected of his son! They thought alike! Once the price rose to twenty thousand, the bidding slowed, and Jia Liebi finally spoke.

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!" Xiao Zhan raised his paddle with a smile.

"Xiao Zhan, what are you doing?!"

Jia Liebi turned and roared, "Your son can already kill a Three Star Dou Zhe. What do you need Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for?"

"Can't I buy it for my future grandson?" Xiao Zhan smiled teasingly, his gaze unconsciously drifting toward Xun Er.

Noticing Xiao Zhan's gaze, Xun Er panicked for the first time ever, her little face flushing crimson.

"Thirty-five thousand!" Jia Liebi roared through gritted teeth.

He had two sons. His eldest, Jia Lieao, had already been killed by Xiao Yan, leaving only his younger son, Jia Lie Sen.

Jia Lie Sen was only at the seventh stage of Dou Qi, while the sons of Xiao Zhan and Oba Pa were both Dou Zhe.

If Jia Lie Sen did not advance to Dou Zhe soon, the Jia Lie Family Juniors would be left far behind by the other two families!

Seeing that Jia Liebi was determined to obtain the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Oba Pa, who had been watching like a tiger, was more than happy to add fuel to the fire.

"Forty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!" Jia Liebi's eyes turned red.

At the end of the day, Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was merely a second-grade medicinal liquid. Fifty thousand had long surpassed his expectations.

"You win." Xiao Zhan smiled and snapped his fingers.

"Congratulations, Chief Jia Lie, on acquiring the first drop of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid." Oba Pa deliberately rubbed salt in Jia Liebi's wounds.

"Hmph!"

Jia Liebi did not even want to look at them. His gaze was gloomy as he frantically cursed their ancestors in his heart.

"The first drop of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid has been acquired by Chief Jia Lie!"

Ya Fei displayed her signature charming smile. "For the remaining four drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, I plan to auction them in groups of two!"

"The starting bid is eighty thousand!"

With a radiant smile onstage, Ya Fei opened her mouth like a lion and raised the price of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid several times over.

"How ruthless..." Xiao Yan curled his lips and secretly shook his head.

This woman was even more ruthless than he was! "Miss Ya Fei, isn't forty thousand per drop too high?" Jia Liebi's expression was ugly.

"Chief Jia Lie, this price isn't high at all!"

Ya Fei smiled sweetly. "That mysterious alchemist only consigned five drops to the Mittel Auction House. They are priceless and unavailable on the market—once you miss this chance, there won't be another! Besides, the more of this medicinal liquid you use, the better its effects! Soaking in two drops at once doubles your cultivation speed!"

Hearing Ya Fei say this, Jia Liebi's face darkened, and he nearly wanted to risk his life against her.

Why didn't you say that earlier?! "I can testify to Miss Ya Fei that the more Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid you use, the stronger the effect. Using three drops at once gives you a chance to break through two stages of Dou Qi in succession!" Xiao Yan added fuel to the flames.

Xiao Zhan said with a smiling expression, "Chief Jia Lie, you've already bid for one drop. Do you really care about spending a little more?"

The previous forty thousand Gold Coins had already become Jia Liebi's sunk cost. There was no way he could stop bidding.

"Eighty-five thousand!" Xiao Zhan spoke first.

"Ninety thousand!" Oba Pa followed immediately.

"Chief..."

One of Jia Liebi's clansmen quietly tried to persuade him. Their purpose in coming here should have been the finale, the Wind Scroll Skill!

"One hundred thousand!"

Jia Liebi's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at the youth beside him. "Jia Lie Sen, I'll buy all five drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid! I don't want the Wind Scroll Skill anymore! You must do me proud!"

Jia Lie Sen nodded weakly.

In the end.

Jia Liebi reluctantly won the two drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid at the exorbitant price of one hundred and twenty thousand.

"Only the final two drops remain!" Ya Fei smiled as she waved the jade bottle around for everyone to see.

Just as everyone assumed Ya Fei would auction the next two drops as a pair again, she separated them for bidding once more.

In the end.

Jia Liebi spent a painfully expensive one hundred and fifty thousand to obtain the remaining two drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Xiao Zhan shook his head provocatively. "Three hundred and twenty thousand for five drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Chief Jia Lie truly is wealthy and generous!"

Jia Liebi laughed in rage. "Xiao Zhan! You must have emptied your entire fortune just to buy Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for your son! If you were really rich, would you have watched me bid for it?

Stop acting sour just because you can't have it!

Your son won't be able to afford Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid a second time in his life! Within a year, my son will snap that little bastard's neck!"

Just as Jia Liebi was feeling smug, Ya Fei smiled and spoke from the stage.

"The five drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid in this auction were all consigned by Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family..."

Huh? The hand holding the jade bottle instantly froze, and Jia Liebi became like a stone statue.

"Haha!" Oba Pa was briefly stunned before laughing so hard he could barely catch his breath, tears flying from his eyes.

"Jia Liebi, you got scammed! Those five drops of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid were worth, at most, two hundred thousand, yet you spent a full three hundred and twenty thousand!

You actually thought they were raising the price to fight you over those medicinal liquids!

Hahaha!"

Oba Pa's laughter echoed through the Auction House as Jia Liebi's old face alternated between green and white.

"Miss Ya Fei, didn't you say the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was consigned by that alchemist?" Jia Liebi was utterly aggrieved.

"Yes!"

Ya Fei nodded sincerely. "That alchemist is Xiao Yan's master. Xiao Yan is his disciple, so all the Gold Coins from the auction belong to Xiao Yan."

"Pfft!"

Jia Liebi's blood and qi churned. Trembling, he pointed at Xiao Yan, who was touching his nose, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I'll kill you!"

With his eyes nearly splitting open in rage, Jia Liebi moved to tear Xiao Yan apart with one claw.

However, before Xiao Zhan could act, several powerful surges of Dou Qi rose from within the pavilion.

Gu Ni and several Da Dou Shi from the Auction House had returned! "Chief Jia Lie, please conduct yourself with dignity." Ya Fei's smile remained enchanting.

Jia Liebi instantly wilted. After shooting Xiao Yan a vicious glare, he collapsed into his chair.

"Hmph!" Xiao Zhan sat back down, somewhat disappointed.

It would have been nice if Jia Liebi had gone mad and attacked Xiao Yan just now. Then he and the Elders would have had an excuse to kill him.

The final auction item.

The Wind Scroll Skill.

With Jia Liebi no longer bidding, Oba Pa easily acquired it for three hundred and fifty thousand.

"Xiao Yanzi, thank you."

Oba Pa smiled hypocritically. "Thanks to you, Chief Jia Lie was unable to compete. Otherwise, my expected price was five hundred thousand. You saved me quite a bit of money!"

"What are you saying, Chief Oba? Without you, Chief Jia Lie wouldn't have spent so much either." Xiao Yan sneered inwardly.

The old man and the youth both wanted to drag the other into the mess, making Jia Liebi hate them even more.

The auction ended.

As Xiao Yan prepared to go to the hall to collect the medicinal ingredients, he saw Jia Liebi viciously shove the small bottle containing Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid into Jia Lie Sen's hand.

"Father, if he can use Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid to break through to Dou Zhe, so can I! I won't disgrace you!" Jia Lie Sen yanked out the stopper and boldly drained the bottle.

Xiao Yan and the Xiao Family Juniors were dumbfounded.

As users themselves, they knew better than anyone how potent the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was.

Even when dripped into a basin of water, it was somewhat difficult to endure.

Jia Lie Sen.

Drank it?
