Jia Lie Bi Coughs Up Blood

There were six Fighter Pills in this auction.

Even if the City Lord's Manor bought one, five remained.

The City Lord's Manor represented the Imperial Family, so they naturally had to show them some respect.

Very soon, the second pill went up for auction.

Jia Lie Bi did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately raised the price.

"One hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan began speaking in a mocking tone.

"Jia Lie Bi, isn't your son dead?"

"Who are you buying a Fighter Pill for?"

Though Jia Lie Bi had not said anything, news of Galeo's death had long since spread.

According to the Jia Lie Family, he had accidentally been killed by a Magical Beast while training.

At Xiao Zhan's mocking words, Jia Lie Bi's eyes instantly reddened.

His son had been killed right in front of him, yet he had been utterly powerless to stop it.

Moreover, he did not dare reveal that a powerful expert had killed him.

"Your useless son would have been better off dead anyway."

"The Jia Lie Family has plenty of talented Dou Zhes. We don't need your concern."

Xiao Zhan showed no sign of discouragement at the other man's taunts.

He had only just learned that Xiao Yan's talent had recovered, so he was in an excellent mood.

"The Xiao Clan has plenty of geniuses too. I'll buy one to take back as well. One hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins!"

"You think you can buy such a treasure with just one hundred thousand Gold Coins?"

"If you have no money, go home."

As he spoke, he gave Jia Lie Bi a provocative look.

Jia Lie Bi had already been furious, and now Xiao Zhan provoked him again.

"You!"

"What about me?"

"If you have no money, shut up!"

Xiao Zhan cut him off before he could finish.

Jia Lie Bi was nearly driven mad with rage.

If this had not been the Miter Auction House, he would have wanted to fight Xiao Zhan to the death on the spot.

"One hundred and sixty thousand Gold Coins!"

Xiao Zhan raised the price again without hesitation.

"One hundred and seventy thousand Gold Coins!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand Gold Coins!"

Jia Lie Bi followed immediately.

Seeing the two of them, no one else had any intention of bidding.

They had figured it out.

Jia Lie Bi had lost his head. At this rate, no one knew how high the price of this Fighter Pill would climb.

There were still four left anyway, so they were in no hurry.

Very soon, the price reached two hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins.

"No money left?"

"If you have no money, go home and burn a few more offerings for your son. Maybe he'll bless the Jia Lie Family to earn more next year!"

Xiao Zhan's tongue seemed coated in honey as he relentlessly poured out insults.

By now, Jia Lie Bi was consumed by rage, and all reason had left him.

"Three hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

"If you've got the nerve, keep bidding!"

Xiao Zhan wore a mocking expression at his words.

"Fine, you win. Your Jia Lie Family really is rich."

"Three hundred thousand for one Fighter Pill. What an idiot with too much money."

"Pfft!"

Jia Lie Bi could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His already aged face looked even more haggard now.

"You..."

Xiao Zhan glanced at him disdainfully and said flatly.

"Idiot."

At that, Jia Lie Bi nearly fainted from rage.

Ya Fei, meanwhile, was smiling happily.

She did not care about the grudge between those below the stage.

As long as the items sold for a high price, such arguments only made her happier.

As long as they did not start fighting, anything was fine.

As for whether Jia Lie Bi would refuse to pay, that was not something she needed to consider.

Anyone who bid here but could not pay would be taught a lesson by the Miter Auction House guards.

A mere Jia Lie Family would never be taken seriously by the Miter Auction House.

"Huff!"

"Huff!"

"That bastard!"

Jia Lie Bi wiped the blood from his mouth and kept taking deep breaths.

He was afraid that he would faint from anger any moment now.

Soon, the next Fighter Pill went up for auction.

Xiao Zhan calmly called out.

"One hundred thousand Gold Coins."

Jia Lie Bi's expression darkened. A vicious glint flashed through his eyes as he shouted.

"One hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins!"

Xiao Zhan turned to glance at Jia Lie Bi, his eyes carrying a trace of mockery.

"One hundred and sixty thousand Gold Coins."

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand."

When Jia Lie Bi called out two hundred and thirty thousand, Xiao Zhan glanced at him and did not continue bidding. Instead, he said,

"Your Jia Lie Family truly is wealthy. I genuinely admire you. Since you like this Fighter Pill so much, I'll let you have it."

"Pfft!"

Jia Lie Bi spat out another mouthful of blood.

He had originally wanted to trap Xiao Zhan.

He had not expected Xiao Zhan to stop bidding.

At that moment, he could no longer hold on and fainted from rage.

The nearby maidservants hurriedly supported him and woke him up.

Jia Lie Bi had yet to pay, so the auction house certainly could not stand by and watch him die of anger.

Xiao Yang watched from the side with great satisfaction.

This was awesome!

All that money was his!

Naturally, the more expensive the Fighter Pills sold for, the better.

Not only had Xiao Zhan angered Jia Lie Bi into fainting, he had also driven up the price of the Fighter Pills.

After all, although pills like Fighter Pills were rare,

they could only increase a Dou Zhe's cultivation.

Thus, a price of around one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins was already considered very high.

Yet Xiao Zhan had pushed the price of two pills to five hundred and thirty thousand Gold Coins.

Jia Lie Bi could only be called a truly unfortunate sucker.

Everyone now looked at Xiao Zhan with a measure of wariness.

Only three Fighter Pills remained.

There were too many wolves and too little meat.

There were simply not enough to go around.

However, what happened next exceeded their expectations.

Xiao Zhan did not make another move and did not buy even one pill.

Even so, the remaining three pills still averaged one hundred and seventy thousand Gold Coins each.

In other words, Xiao Yang had earned a full million Gold Coins from a single auction!

"Tut, tut, tut. No wonder Alchemists are rich."

"The pill business is simply absurdly profitable!"

Xiao Yang said with some emotion.

Even counting the materials that had been burned up, those Fighter Pills had cost less than one hundred thousand Gold Coins.

Yet he had sold them for a million Gold Coins.

A tenfold profit!

Xiao Zhan's expression was equally complicated.

A million Gold Coins was enough for the Xiao Clan to save for ten years!

The Xiao Clan did not even possess as many Gold Coins as Xiao Yang alone!

He knew Alchemists made money, but he had not known they made money this quickly.

Even robbing people was not this fast.

"This auction has now concluded. Thank you all for your support!"

"We welcome you to visit the Miter Auction House again!"

After the six Fighter Pills were auctioned off, the auction came to an end.

Before Xiao Yang could react, a maidservant had already come to invite him over.

"Clan Head Xiao, Young Master Xiao, Miss Ya Fei invites you."

The two exchanged a look and followed the maidservant together.

Soon, the maidservant led them to Ya Fei's room.

"Clan Head Xiao, little brother Xiao Yang."

"This auction brought in a total of one million and forty thousand Gold Coins. This is what remains after the handling fees were deducted."

There was also a trace of shock in Ya Fei's eyes.

More than a million Gold Coins was no small sum even for the Miter Auction House.

In an ordinary auction, it was difficult to reach more than a million Gold Coins.

Yet this time, merely six Fighter Pills had been worth a million!

This made Ya Fei value Xiao Yang even more highly.

She secretly resolved that she would definitely build a good relationship with Xiao Yang in the future.
