Chapter 587: Professional

Zhangsun Ning's shout made Xiao Fan tremble all over…

He looked at Zhangsun Ning beside him with a shocked gaze, his eyes seemingly asking: "Big sister, the starting bid was 5.5 million, are you crazy for jumping straight to 8 million?"

Zhangsun Ning ignored Xiao Fan, her expression arrogant; after all, it wasn't her Spirit Stone being spent.

Moreover, in Zhangsun Ning's view, Xiao Fan came from a poor place, so what did he understand?

Auctions were all about Aura, an Aura of being determined to win!

One had to be like her, suppressing the entire venue with a single word.

Little did she know that at this moment, Xiao Fan was looking at Zhangsun Ning as if she were an idiot; he really wanted to ask if this woman understood how to bid at an auction.

If she didn't understand, then she should just keep quiet and leave it to him.

He was a professional; after all, he had even acted as a shill before.

"9 million!" Someone shouted immediately, raising the price to 9 million.

Zhangsun Ning frowned; someone actually dared to compete with her for an item?

"9 million, going once…" Jin Zhishuang spoke, just about to ask for a higher bid.

"10 million!" Zhangsun Ning raised the bid again.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's heart was bleeding. 10 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was 1 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

One billion…

That would be enough to auction off several black long blades at the Treasure Pavilion…

Xiao Fan was thinking this with his Divine Thought in his mind, which was keenly perceived by the tianzhu sword that had already acknowledged him as its master…

Inside the Storage Pouch, the tianzhu sword was jumping with anger!

Having the other half auctioned away by someone for hundreds of millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones was the humiliation of its life!

The person who had just shouted 9 million frowned and did not continue to bid.

A Medicinal Pill like the Qianyuan Creation Golden Core had miraculous effects for restoring one's Foundation, but its true value was only between 8 million and 10 million; any more than that would lose its meaning.

Zhangsun Ning's brows relaxed, feeling that the next auction item would be hers.

"10 million, going once."

"10 million, going twice!" Jin Zhishuang began the countdown.

"11 million."

Just at this moment, a powerhouse in the Yuding Realm beside Zhangsun Ning spoke up to raise the bid, directly adding another million!

Zhangsun Ning frowned once again; someone was actually competing with her for an item again.

Xiao Fan looked over. He could not detect the other person's Realm, but judging from the Aura the other person emitted and their seat, they were undoubtedly a Yuding Realm powerhouse.

This was a gray-haired old man with a smiling expression and sharp eyes, sizing up Zhangsun Ning.

Xiao Fan's first impression was that this old guy was a lecher, and he likely had designs on Zhangsun Ning…

Just as Xiao Fan was speculating this, and as Zhangsun Ning intended to continue bidding.

"This Fellow Daoist, I do not wish to oppose you; I simply wish to make friends with you." The old man who had just bid spoke with a smile: "I am Elder Mao Tai, and I sincerely wish to befriend you. As for this mere Medicinal Pill, allow me to win the bid and then gift it to you, how about that?"

Xiao Fan was shocked; he hadn't expected that he had actually guessed correctly just now. This old man really had taken a fancy to Zhangsun Ning!

And even more surprising was that the other party actually wanted to bid over 10 million for this Medicinal Pill just to give it to Zhangsun Ning as a greeting gift?

Zhangsun Ning's face instantly darkened. If her Foundation hadn't been unrestored, she would have intended to flip the table and start a fight right there.

She ignored the old man and said coldly: "13 million!"

Zhangsun Ning's bid caused Xiao Fan, who had been letting his imagination run wild, to instantly sober up…

That's 1.3 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones!!

This was all being spent from his, Xiao Fan's, Spirit Stone!

Xiao Fan thought his perspective was already quite grand, but he discovered that he was still far from enough.

Having just arrived at this Auction House, his little heart couldn't quite withstand this intense stimulation.

The old man named Elder Mao Tai raised his eyebrows. The woman's actions clearly indicated she did not want to accept his gift. He shook his head with a bitter smile; he could not increase the bid.

If he increased the bid further, it would be heading straight toward becoming enemies!

This time, no one around continued to shout bids; 13 million already exceeded the value of the Qianyuan Creation Golden Core itself!

A grade 6 pill was rare, but a Medicinal Pill like this that restored one's Foundation was too expensive once it exceeded 10 million.

Moreover, the quality of this Qianyuan Creation Golden Core was only Upper Grade, and there was still a certain gap compared to perfect quality.

The auction finished, and Xiao Fan handed over his Storage Pouch with a deathly pale face, which contained 13 million Spirit Stones!

Zhangsun Ning took it expressionlessly, checked it, and left on her own to exchange for the Medicinal Pill.

The auction continued, but Xiao Fan had no mind to pay attention…

Jin Zhishuang continued to introduce the next auction item on the auction stage.

The old man named Elder Mao Tai did not continue bidding, his expression slightly disappointed.

After a while, Zhangsun Ning returned and sat silently beside Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan felt heartbroken; half of the fortune he had earned since coming to Yihuang Province was now gone…

"How much Spirit Stone is left? Is it enough for me to bid on another Medicinal Pill!" Zhangsun Ning asked via voice transmission.

Xiao Fan's face twitched; he felt that this Zhangsun Ning would not stop until she had squandered all his family fortune!

"There is… still a little bit…" Xiao Fan was speechless and answered honestly.

Zhangsun Ning looked at him deeply, nodded with satisfaction, and planned to continue bidding if she encountered any Medicinal Pill later.

"Um… don't bid later; let me do it. I'm a professional!" Xiao Fan spoke, feeling that it would be better not to let Zhangsun Ning speak.
