Chapter 21: Testing the Medicine

At this moment, Ya Fei on the stage said again, "Everyone must have come for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid today. Although our auction house has already promoted it vigorously before this, no amount of promotion can compare to personal experience. Today, a wooden basin is prepared on the stage. Ya Fei will select one person from the field who has not reached Dou Zhe to try it personally, so that everyone can see the magic of this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid. I wonder if Ya Fei has the honor to invite Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao family to experience it?"

Seeing Ya Fei mention Xiao Yan, everyone in the auction house looked at Xiao Yan in unison. Xiao Yan had recently become famous in Wutan City. Whether it was the sudden return of his cultivation talent or defeating Jia Lie Ao, who was at the ninth stage of Dou Qi, it was all talked about.

"What is this? Found a plant manager after finding a shill?" Seeing Ya Fei suddenly mention himself, Xiao Yan was stunned.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yan intended to refuse directly, but Xiao Zhan beside him smiled and said, "Since Miss Ya Fei has invited you, then you go and try it! We also want to see how magical this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid is."

Seeing that his father had said so, Xiao Yan had no choice but to touch his nose helplessly and walk onto the stage.

Xiao Yan walked to Ya Fei's side, took off his coat, and handed it to Ya Fei casually.

Ya Fei took Xiao Yan's coat with a smile, then made a gesture of invitation. Xiao Yan didn't be polite, took off his shoes directly, stepped into the wooden basin, and sat cross-legged. Xiao Yan formed strange hand seals with both hands and entered a cultivation state.

"Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid not only has the effect of increasing the cultivation speed of Dou Qi but also has good healing effects, so if you are seriously injured, it is best not to miss it. Now start auctioning the first bottle of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, the starting price... fifteen thousand gold coins." Ya Fei said to everyone with a smile.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!" Xiao Zhan shouted very generously.

"Hehe, I bid, sixty thousand gold coins, my grandson is now at the seventh stage of Dou Qi, if he can successfully break through this year, he might be able to enter the Canaan Academy." Ao Ba Pa reported his price with a smile.

"I bid seventy-five thousand!" The boss of the largest medicinal material supplier in Wutan City also followed closely.

"Eighty thousand gold coins!" Seeing that the price of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid rose so fast, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but be a bit surprised, but the Xiao family definitely had to buy it.

After seeing the magic of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid with their own eyes, everyone present had no more doubts and looked forward to the start of the auction. Xiao Yan naturally didn't keep practicing; just doing it for show was enough, how could he keep being watched like a white mouse on the stage? Xiao Yan shook his whole body, and the light cyan air currents wrapped around him were all shaken away, and the light cyan air currents spread directly to the entire auction house.

Everyone present had their own experience in Dou Qi cultivation, but when they practiced, they all slowly refined the thin energy emitted from the air into Dou Qi and then poured it into the sea of Qi. Compared with using Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, this was not known how many times worse.

Besides the three major families in Wutan City, these two families were the richest. These families had juniors who were at the stage of Dou Qi. However, although they were juniors, although their age was not over eighteen, they were not far behind. But now with Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, who didn't want to fight for it? However, there were many monks and few porridges, and these five bottles of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid would likely fall into the hands of these families.

"Twenty thousand gold coins, twenty-two thousand, twenty-five thousand... thirty thousand, forty thousand... fifty thousand."

When the price soared to fifty thousand, the voices in the field gradually became smaller. However, everyone present understood that this was just the beginning.

Led by a maid, Xiao Yan entered a room and saw that a set of clothes had already been prepared inside, and it was quite valuable. Xiao Yan took off the clothes that had been soaked in water, changed into the newly prepared clothes, and followed the maid back to the auction house. As soon as he entered the auction house, he heard Ya Fei's seductive voice.

The Canaan Academy not only had advanced cultivation methods and Dou Techniques but also had famous teachers' guidance. If there was a chance to enter the inner academy, the whole family would soar to the sky. However, the Canaan Academy's enrollment was also very strict, and the minimum requirement was to reach the eighth stage of Dou Qi at the age of eighteen, which had already eliminated a large batch of people.

"Ninety thousand gold coins!" Seeing Xiao Zhan bid, Jia Lie Bi also reported his price. Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid actually had the effect of healing, and his son also desperately needed it.

But this was also normal. He auctioned Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid nearly a year earlier than Xiao Yan in the original work, which was exactly when the major families in Wutan City needed it most. In the original work, when Xiao Yan auctioned it, the juniors of the major families had either entered Dou Zhe or passed the age of Canaan Academy's enrollment.

When everyone present inhaled this wisp of light cyan gas, their whole bodies shook, and they felt extremely comfortable. Especially those who had not reached Dou Zhe, they absorbed it even more greedily, and some even practiced directly, wanting to refine the inhaled energy.

Hearing that Xiao Zhan actually reported a sky-high price of one hundred thousand gold coins, most people had already given up. One hundred thousand gold coins had already exceeded their expectations, and this was only the first bottle, and there were four more behind. Recently, the Xiao family's power had been growing, and they didn't dare to offend them easily, so they let it go if they could.

"Damn! Wasn't the original starting price eight thousand gold coins? This directly doubled!" As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, he was shocked by the price Ya Fei said.

However, Xiao Yan's shock had just begun. As soon as Ya Fei's voice fell, someone in the audience began to bid crazily.

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't continue to practice, but instead shook away these precious energies, Ya Fei was stunned, but she looked very happy. Because Xiao Yan's move was equivalent to letting everyone present experience it personally, which would make it easier for her to auction at a high price later. She casually summoned a maid, asked her to take Xiao Yan to change clothes, and summoned two servants to carry the wooden basin down.

Hearing Ao Ba Pa actually mention the Canaan Academy, everyone present became even more moved. The Canaan Academy was famous in the Dou Qi Continent, and many families wanted to send their children to the Canaan Academy to study.

When everyone saw the wisps of light cyan gas emitted from the cyan liquid in the wooden basin gradually wrapping Xiao Yan, they all widened their eyes. They could naturally perceive those wisps of cyan gas, which were being rapidly refined into Dou Qi by Xiao Yan.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had started to practice, under the gaze of everyone in the auction house, Ya Fei directly took out a small jade bottle, opened the bottle stopper, tilted the bottle body gently, and dripped a drop of emerald green liquid into the wooden basin. The liquid melted upon entering the water, and the clear water in the basin gradually turned cyan.

"I bid seventy thousand gold coins!" The bidder was a burly middle-aged man, the boss of the largest weapon supplier in Wutan City.

Hearing one hundred thousand gold coins, Xiao Yan's heart jumped violently. He never expected the auction of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid to be so hot. He originally thought that one bottle could sell for fifty or sixty thousand gold coins at most.

Jia Lie Bi still wanted to bid, but thinking of the family's current situation, he couldn't afford to be extravagant. If he was pitted by Xiao Zhan again, it would be even more passive, so he didn't bid anymore.

In this way, the first bottle of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid fell into Xiao Zhan's hands at the price of one hundred thousand gold coins. Although he bought the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid, this price... He originally wanted to buy two bottles, but now it seemed very difficult.
