"The next item is something you should all find both familiar and unfamiliar, and it was only just added to the auction."
There was no denying that Ya Fei deserved her position as the Mittel Auction House's chief auctioneer. With just one sentence, she had successfully stirred up the crowd.
Everyone craned their necks, eager to see what this supposedly familiar yet unfamiliar item was.
Soon, the auction item was brought out.
An uproar erupted from the crowd.
"Aren't those the lucky jars sold at the Xiao Family Market?"
"Damn, I got my hopes up for nothing!"
"If that's what they're auctioning this round, I'm sitting it out."
"Me too..."
Listening to the chatter below, Ya Fei maintained her professional composure, then spoke in her sultry voice:
"Everyone, please quiet down. I won't go into detail about where these jars came from. I'm mainly here to convey their owner's wishes."
"This auction will offer three jars in total, with bidding for each starting at ten thousand gold coins. What you can obtain from them is a third-grade medicinal elixir."
At those words, the clamor grew louder and louder.
On the Dou Qi Continent, the most sought-after goods were the various medicinal pills and elixirs refined by alchemists.
What was more, this was no ordinary elixir-it was a third-grade elixir!
Those who had just declared that they would withdraw from the bidding were now scheming more eagerly than anyone else.
"This elixir is called the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. It only works on those below the Dou Zhe level. Cultivating while soaking in this Spirit Liquid will increase their cultivation speed."
"Hehe, if you want your descendants to become young prodigies, you mustn't let this opportunity slip away."
Her alluring red lips parted slightly, and the sweet, seductive voice spilling from them sent a tingling sensation through the crowd's bones.
"Miss Ya Fei, does this elixir have any side effects? If I remember correctly, people at that stage can't withstand the impact of medicinal elixirs, can they?" There was no shortage of levelheaded people in the crowd. After a brief silence, someone raised his hand to ask.
Ya Fei smiled. "Hehe, our auction house's Master Gu Ni personally appraised the Spirit Liquid. There will certainly be no problems, so please rest assured."
Upon hearing that Master Gu Ni had personally appraised it, the crowd immediately grew much quieter.
Xiao Yan leaned back leisurely in his chair. Watching the lively atmosphere in the hall, he could not help breathing a sigh of relief.
He was counting on this auction to make his fortune.
That way, he would have enough earnings points to purchase stock from the jar shop.
After surveying the crowd, Xiao Yan discreetly shifted his gaze toward his father.
Just as in the original story, Xiao Zhan's expression grew intensely excited upon hearing the effects of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.
No matter how the world outside changed, his old man's love for him had never wavered.
Even with his good-for-nothing son absent, he still wanted to add bricks and mortar to the foundation of his future.
Afraid that someone might notice a telltale display of emotion, Xiao Yan hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Xiao Zhan.
By chance, he also caught sight of Jia Lie Ao's expression.
Ugly. Extremely ugly...
Even while picking at his toes, he could have guessed that Jia Lie Ao had mistaken him for Immortal Chen.
Jars?
Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?
The system stopped working?
