Chapter 57

Casually retracting his slightly cold gaze, Xiao Yan did not have the patience to engage in a verbal spat with this fellow. His ten fingers curled slightly out of habit, and the strange suction and expulsion force in his palms rhythmically pulsed like breathing.

After more than a year of training, although Xiao Yan could not claim to have perfected the transition between the "Suction Palm" and the "Blow Fire Palm," he could certainly be considered extremely proficient. If he were to engage in a fight, he could guarantee that he could quickly switch between the two combat techniques without slowing down, to achieve the effect of injuring the enemy.

"Brother Xiao Yan, that guy seems to be much stronger than before..." Beside him, Xun Er glanced at Jia Lie, who was not far away, and suddenly said with a light laugh.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Last time, his father bought a high-level Wind-attribute Profound Technique at the auction. Jia Lie is also Wind-attribute, and with a year's time, it's enough for him to convert his previous combat qi into the new technique's combat qi. Naturally, his strength is much stronger than before."

"Hehe, no wonder he's so arrogant. Is a high-level Profound Technique very rare?" Xun Er said with a smile, her autumn-water eyes flashing with a faint golden flame.

Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile and teased, "For you, who can casually take out a high-level Profound Technique, it's not rare at all."

Hearing Xiao Yan's teasing, Xun Er wrinkled her delicate nose and gave him a glare, somewhat resentfully saying, "Even if it's rare, Brother Xiao Yan wouldn't care, right?"

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and quickly nodded towards the stage, saying, "The auction has started..."

Seeing Xiao Yan deliberately changing the subject, Xun Er could only shake her head helplessly and turned her gaze to the auction stage, which suddenly lit up.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ya Fei, dressed in a red qipao, gracefully walked onto the stage. Her well-proportioned figure, tightly wrapped in the red qipao, immediately made some people's eyes glow with heat.

With a charming smile on her face, Ya Fei covered her mouth and giggled a few words to the audience. Her mature allure easily heated up the atmosphere in the hall.

Seeing the suddenly heated atmosphere, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smack his lips. No wonder she was the chief auctioneer of the Mituo Auction House. With just a few words, she turned some men with weak self-control into hot-headed males. At this moment, if Ya Fei casually took out a cheap item from a street stall, some people would probably buy it as if it were a treasure.

Seeing the heated atmosphere in the hall, Ya Fei felt a slight sense of pride. Years of experience had taught her how strong her beauty's attraction was to men. Her red lips curved into a faint smile, and her eyes swept across the stage. When her gaze fell on the young man sitting behind Xiao Zhan, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

Although the young man's eyes seemed to be fixed on the stage, his wandering black eyes revealed to Ya Fei that this little fellow was not particularly interested in her appearance. Her eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.

Moving her gaze away from Xiao Yan without a trace, Ya Fei opened her red lips and smiled, clapping her hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Ya Fei knows your purpose today, so I will skip the opening acts and go straight to the main event."

As she spoke, Ya Fei raised her hand, and the lights on the stage dimmed. She bent down slightly and took out a jade plate from the center of the stage. On the plate was a small white jade bottle.

Seeing the small white jade bottle, the audience's eyes immediately lit up with heat. They rubbed their hands, ready to bid for it.

"The Foundation Building Spirit Liquid this time is from the same person as the one auctioned last time, with the same medicinal power and the same grade. It has been personally appraised by Master Guni of our auction house, so you can rest assured," Ya Fei smiled lightly, her gaze suddenly turning to Xiao Yan in the audience, her smile charming and alluring. "The Foundation Building Spirit Liquid last time was purchased by the head of the Xiao Clan. After buying the spirit liquid, Young Master Xiao Yan advanced from the third level of Combat Qi to the eighth level within a year. Whether this is due to the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid... hehe, Ya Fei doesn't know." At the end of her words, a cunning glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Hearing Ya Fei's words, the audience's attention immediately shifted to Xiao Yan, who was still somewhat stunned in the front row. Exclamations of amazement filled the air. Although Xiao Yan's terrifying cultivation speed had already spread throughout U坦城 (Utan City) again, many people had not seen it with their own eyes. Now, having the chance to witness it firsthand, they couldn't help but marvel. Of course, this also strengthened their resolve to obtain the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid.

Not far away, Jia Lie's face twisted with a cold sneer, filled with disdain.

Feeling the attention of the crowd, Xiao Yan shifted uncomfortably, feeling somewhat helpless. This woman was really too shrewd, using him as a free advertisement. With him as a living example, the price of the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid on the stage would probably rise by two or three times.

"Sigh, this woman... it would be a waste if she didn't become a merchant."

Sighing again, although Xiao Yan felt somewhat annoyed by the surrounding gazes, he could only shake his head helplessly when he thought about the items being auctioned on the stage. He glared fiercely at the smiling Ya Fei on the stage.

Ya Fei, meeting Xiao Yan's glare, showed no fear and instead boldly returned a charming and mature smile, making the few men sitting behind Xiao Yan swallow their saliva.

"The first bottle of Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, starting bid: 15,000!"

Ya Fei, smiling, directly set the price of the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid nearly double.

"Too ruthless..." In the audience, Xiao Yan cracked his lips and shook his head. Women are indeed the most ruthless creatures.
