Chapter 399: Heated

The surroundings immediately became boisterous, with bidding sounds continuing incessantly…

"Three hundred thousand…"

"Four hundred thousand…"

"…"

In a moment, this Gold-Hammered Tiger-Head Spear was bid up to four hundred thousand…

One must know that a Profound Rank High Grade Magical Artifact is only worth about three hundred thousand Spirit Stones at most in the outside world.

But at this moment, the price was ridiculously high…

Xiao Fan: "…"

He was naturally not stupid; how could he possibly spend four hundred thousand to purchase this spear?

He simply shut his mouth obediently…

Meanwhile, the heads of those large Families and representatives of various forces around him were all acting as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

In the end, the spear was successfully sold for six hundred thousand Spirit Stones…

Although the Spirit Stones were not many, the price-performance ratio was extremely low…

At the same time, everyone in the Auction House realized that this guy from the Jixian Sect was not as deceptive as they had imagined…

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense; as long as they didn't get angry?

How could this greenhorn possibly scam them?

They weren't like that bunch of idiots from the Diao Family, who would be provoked into anger by a few words from the other party!

"Fourth-grade Medicinal Pill, Gold Marrow Pill… Starting price is four hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with a minimum increment of thirty thousand each time…"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

Xiao Fan had no interest in raising the bid this time; he remained silent and discovered that the bidding around him was much more low-key than before…

In the end, this Medicinal Pill was auctioned off for six hundred thousand to the head of a Family…

Xiao Fan felt something was wrong…

The auction continued, and every time Xiao Fan spoke afterwards…

The various Families participating in the auction would be particularly spirited; even if it exceeded the market price, they would still bid.

But when Xiao Fan didn't speak, he noticed that the group would obediently go quiet…

This scene, let alone for Xiao Fan, left others confused as well…

Pavilion Master Yan Tong, Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou, and the other pavilion masters were stunned once again…

"I felt like I was shooting myself in the foot just a moment ago… How did it turn out like this?" Pavilion Master Yan Tong muttered to himself…

The others were also speechless…

"But the situation is developing in a good direction, isn't it?" Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou smiled…

Earlier, after Xiao Fan had purchased a few auction items at low prices, Pavilion Master Yan Tong and the others had discussed having Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou send a message to tell Xiao Fan that they would no longer cooperate…

And to compensate the other party with some Spirit Stones, asking him to behave during this auction and not cause trouble…

As it turned out, before they could even send the message, the situation had already reversed.

Xiao Fan was speechless…

Buying at a low price and reselling it would definitely be more profitable than the ten percent price difference…

But with things having developed to this point, what could he do?

So he could only shout out each time to make the bidding more intense…

These bidding Family heads didn't know why, but every time they heard Xiao Fan raise the bid, they always wanted to suppress him…

It seemed they didn't want a young person to be arrogant and domineering…

But what they absolutely could not imagine was that Xiao Fan was a shill for the Treasure Pavilion…

After all, it was the first time a shill had appeared within the Four Great Forces.

And the other party was an Inner Sect Disciple at the Tongtian Realm…

In the blink of an eye, another half a day passed in the auction…

The sky outside was gradually darkening.

During this time, there were hundreds of auctions…

Every time there was a bid, Xiao Fan would add his two cents and get involved…

Every time, the bidding was extremely intense because of him.

This left the group from the Jixian Sect speechless…

They couldn't understand at all what Xiao Fan was trying to do?

Is he asking for a beating?

It seemed that was the only explanation.

Most people at the scene had discovered that something was wrong and felt that this guy Xiao Fan had a problem.

He bid on everything, but after shouting once, he wouldn't speak again…

Where they hadn't speculated before, now they began to make connections…

Suspecting whether Xiao Fan was a shill for the Treasure Pavilion…

Even suspecting whether this auction was a collaboration between the Treasure Pavilion and the Jixian Sect, intending to join forces to scam them.

Xiao Fan also began to feel that something was wrong…

The bidding from this group started to become less passionate…

Not like before, when they were acting as if they had been injected with chicken blood…

In the end, the price of the auction items would always trade at a normal price…

This left Xiao Fan, who wanted to be a middleman and earn the price difference, speechless…

And at this moment, Qiao Rong sent him another message…

Telling him not to participate in the bidding for the time being.

Many people at the scene should have discovered that something was wrong…

He didn't need Qiao Rong to tell him this; he had also discovered that something was wrong.

The last few dozen auctions were just a waste of his effort…

The items simply didn't sell for high prices, and he didn't earn anything.

He simply couldn't be bothered to continue; anyway, after the continuous bidding earlier, as a middleman, he had earned nearly ten million Spirit Stones…

What kind of concept was ten million Spirit Stones…

He had made a fortune…

Of course, the Diao Family's purchase of that Yao Beast contributed the most…

The auction continued, and Xiao Fan quieted down…

The items auctioned in the Auction House afterwards were relatively ordinary goods.

Xiao Fan never spoke again, looking as if he had lost interest.

And everyone in the venue suddenly realized…

They no longer suspected that Xiao Fan was a shill, thinking that perhaps he had just started bidding, tasted the sweetness of no one competing against him, and that was why he had kept bidding.

After all, apart from targeting the Diao Family, Xiao Fan hadn't done anything else to scam people.

Afterwards, people left one after another to go back and rest, with a constant stream of people coming and going…

Wu Qingyan also left, and the venue changed to another beautiful woman to continue hosting.

The subsequent auction items were all very ordinary, making people unable to raise any interest.

Even some people from large Families left temporarily…

"Let's go too, and come back on the last day." Elder Yin Su said, looking at the others.
