Chapter 1813: Disgusting Cheng Hui

Xiao Fan looked around, not expecting that this Necrotic Wood would make the scene so lively.

He had no interest in this Necrotic Wood.

It was useless to him anyway.

Just then, Xiao Fan looked toward the direction of Butian Pavilion.

He saw Cheng Hui with a haughty expression, looking at him with disdain.

Then, he shouted to Liu Wuyan in the center of the Auction House, "3 million Origin Stones."

"3 million?!"

Someone in the Auction House exclaimed.

Countless gazes turned toward the direction of Butian Pavilion.

This major power had made its move.

Generally, when a major power sets its eyes on a Heaven And Earth Treasure, it's usually game over for everyone else.

Unless it was another power of equal standing, who else besides some hidden Old Antique would have that many Origin Stones to bid?

Cheng Hui stood with his hands behind his back, thoroughly enjoying this feeling.

It was as if he were the Child of Destiny, looked up to by all living beings.

None of the other major powers spoke up; they had no interest in this Necrotic Wood.

If nothing unexpected happened, this Necrotic Wood would end up in the hands of Butian Pavilion.

"3 million Origin Stones… going once!"

"3 million Origin Stones… going twice!"

"…"

Liu Wuyan's countdown voice rang out.

"3.5 million Origin Stones."

At this moment, an abrupt voice echoed through the Auction House.

Everyone looked over in unison. The person was burly and plain-looking… it was none other than Xiao Fan!

"Hmm?"

Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. He looked at the speaking Xiao Fan, and then he flew into a rage.

This brat actually dared to compete with him?

Did he not know that he was bidding on behalf of Butian Pavilion?

Wasn't doing this a sign of looking down on him?

"3.5 million Origin Stones… going once!"

"4 million Origin Stones!"

As soon as Liu Wuyan's voice rang out, it was interrupted by Cheng Hui's shout.

Butian Pavilion was extremely wealthy and never lacked Origin Stones.

How could he possibly lose Face in front of a love rival?

Furthermore, since this was using Butian Pavilion's Origin Stones, he didn't feel any heartache.

The people from the other major powers wore gloating expressions, watching the show.

"4 million Origin Stones… going o…"

"5 million Origin Stones."

Xiao Fan spoke indifferently, increasing the bid once again.

"5.5 million Origin Stones!"

"6 million Origin Stones."

"…"

"You… do you even have that many Origin Stones?!"

Cheng Hui was instantly enraged.

He wasn't an idiot.

Although the Necrotic Wood was highly valuable, it wasn't worth more than 5 million Origin Stones at all.

Yet this person was still raising the price!

This was clearly a deliberate provocation against him!

"Heh… what the hell does it have to do with you? If you don't have enough Origin Stones, just shut up." Xiao Fan waved his hand, his Face showing disdain.

"Damn it… you… you!" Cheng Hui was furious, staring at Xiao Fan through gritted teeth.

This brat was going too far; he dared to humiliate him so blatantly in an Auction House with thousands of people!

Old Daoist Hongxuan saw this scene, raised an eyebrow, and his expression showed some anger.

Cheng Hui was a member of his Butian Pavilion.

He was also the one he sent to place bids, yet he was humiliated on the spot.

Publicly humiliating Cheng Hui in a place like this was no different from humiliating Butian Pavilion in front of everyone.

However, due to his status, he couldn't speak up…

And the value of this Necrotic Wood was only around 5 million Origin Stones…

If they continued to bid, they would definitely lose money; it was completely unnecessary.

Old Daoist Hongxuan nodded inwardly, his gaze toward Cheng Hui quite satisfied…

"He hasn't lost his head; even when subjected to humiliation and provocation, he can still remain calm… very good, very good indeed." Old Daoist Hongxuan muttered to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his Face.

Whether it is Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or the way of the Magic Array.

These all require patience and calmness.

If one cannot hold their ground, it is impossible to reach the state of Major Achievement in these three paths.

On this point… at least from what he could see now, Cheng Hui was qualified.

"7 million Origin Stones!"

But just then, Cheng Hui suddenly shouted, raising the bid again.

"Hmm?"

Old Daoist Hongxuan was taken aback, and the smile on his Face froze.

This idiot?

7 million would be a loss!

"7.5 million!"

At this moment, Xiao Fan spoke again, looking at Cheng Hui in the private room with a look of disdain.

"Cheng Hui… wait…"

"8 million!" How could Cheng Hui endure this humiliation?

There were so many people nearby, and Zhangsun Ning was also watching nearby!

Old Daoist Hongxuan wanted to stop him, but it was already too late; Cheng Hui had already placed the bid.

In the Auction House, once a bid is made, there is no regret.

Old Daoist Hongxuan couldn't remain calm anymore; he hurriedly looked at Xiao Fan.

He hoped that this person would raise the bid, so he could immediately stop Cheng Hui.

The Necrotic Wood was simply not worth this price!

But…

Xiao Fan had no intention of bidding anymore and even flashed a set of white teeth at Cheng Hui.

As if to say… you idiot!

"8 million Origin Stones… going once!"

In the center of the Auction House, Liu Wuyan's voice rang out and echoed through the venue.

"8 million Origin Stones… going twice!"

At this moment, Cheng Hui was dumbfounded.

8 million Origin Stones?

Winning a small piece of Necrotic Wood, he had suffered a huge loss!

It's over, it's over!

Inside the private room, Ye Miaoyin and Zhangsun Ning couldn't help but laugh.

Senior Brother Song Tuo was also stunned.

He felt that Cheng Hui was too young; how could he lose his composure during an auction?

The rest of the Butian Pavilion Disciples all shook their heads slightly…

They felt that Cheng Hui was too impulsive and had wasted Butian Pavilion's Origin Stones.

As for Old Daoist Hongxuan, his Face turned black, and he glared at Cheng Hui with a sense of frustration at his incompetence.
