Chapter 588: Competing to Bid

"Just you?" Zhangsun Ning raised an eyebrow, showing disdain.

A minor Cultivator who had just advanced to the Yuanhun Realm actually claimed he would be better at the Auction House than her, a dignified expert of the Yuding Realm?

Bidding actually tests one's mentality the most, and a low Realm often leads to a poor mentality.

Besides, how old is Xiao Fan now?

Barely in his early twenties, how could Zhangsun Ning possibly believe Xiao Fan's nonsense!

"Uh… really!" Xiao Fan emphasized, but Zhangsun Ning remained unmoved, still disdainful.

"How about this, when you see something you like later, tell me in advance, and I'll bid for you. After all, I don't have many Spirit Stones on me, so don't overspend!" Xiao Fan decided to try a different approach to communicate with this woman.

Zhangsun Ning thought for a moment and nodded. There was a key point in Xiao Fan's words: he didn't have many Spirit Stones on him.

It made Zhangsun Ning realize that the items auctioned off would require spending Xiao Fan's Spirit Stones.

Seeing Zhangsun Ning agree, Xiao Fan let out a breath. He rubbed his chin and looked at Zhangsun Ning, saying, "Later, if something I don't understand appears at the auction, remember to transmit your voice and tell me its value!"

Although Zhangsun Ning didn't know what Xiao Fan was planning, she still nodded in agreement.

Xiao Fan exhaled and slightly stretched his neck, intending to show off his skills!

During this time…

Not far behind Xiao Fan, City Lord Ming Long had not shifted his gaze, staring fixedly at Xiao Fan's back, wanting to see if this person was really Xiao Fan!

Chu Feng was also curious, feeling that this person looked very much like Xiao Fan, so much so that both of them forgot they were at the Auction House.

Only City Lord Du Ling instinctively moved away from the direction City Lord Ming Long was looking.

Now, whenever his ears heard the two words "Xiao Fan," he felt a headache.

"The next auction item, the Iron-Pointed Steel Spear, Earth Rank High Grade, starting price is 6 million Spirit Stones, and each bid increment must be no less than 200,000 Spirit Stones." Jin Zhishuang's voice rang out.

This was a steel spear, looking heroic and Bufan, revealing wisps of Dao charm.

Xiao Fan examined the long spear and rubbed his chin.

"8 million!"

"9 million!"

"…"

Earth Rank Magical Artifacts were very popular, unlike Medicinal Pills.

Once a Medicinal Pill is consumed, it is gone, so unless it is a necessary healing Medicinal Pill, it is rare for them to fetch astronomical prices at the Auction House.

But Earth Rank Magical Artifacts are different; they can be used continuously after being purchased.

Even if resold, the price is usually good.

Xiao Fan looked around and felt that this Iron-Pointed Steel Spear had lost its value for him to swindle others, so he planned to wait a bit longer.

This Iron-Pointed Steel Spear was eventually auctioned off for 12 million.

"Silver Moon Glaze, one of the top-tier Materials, starting price 5 million, each bid increment must be no less than 200,000!" Jin Zhishuang's voice called out.

This Silver Moon Glaze was crystal clear, exuding Bufan everywhere.

Just hearing the name, one knew it was a precious Material.

"5.5 million!"

"6 million!"

Bidding voices immediately rang out, and Xiao Fan felt his opportunity had come!

"8 million!" Xiao Fan shouted!

Everyone's gaze fell upon Xiao Fan in the front.

Bidding 8 million in one go, he was truly worthy of being someone sitting in the front; he was indeed wealthy and imposing!

Zhangsun Ning was surprised and looked at Xiao Fan beside her, transmitting her voice: "Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "I don't know. What is this, and what is its value?"

"…Silver Moon Glaze, one of the precious Materials; this piece is worth about 10 million." Zhangsun Ning still explained it to Xiao Fan. She wondered if this kid was crazy.

He didn't know what it was, yet he dared to bid recklessly.

Hearing that the market price was around 10 million, Xiao Fan felt confident; as long as he didn't lose money, it was fine.

Behind Xiao Fan, City Lord Ming Long widened his eyes. This time, even City Lord Du Ling beside him looked over.

That voice just now was one they were all too familiar with…

It was precisely the Xiao Fan they had been thinking of day and night; it definitely had to be him.

Now, even though Xiao Fan hadn't turned around, he had already been recognized by City Lord Du Ling and City Lord Ming Long!

"My god, how is he here!" City Lord Ming Long was incredulous. The royal family had sent people to investigate Xiao Fan's whereabouts, but they had found nothing!

Who could have thought that Xiao Fan was right here in the Imperial City!

"I, I don't know!" City Lord Du Ling felt like all of this was a dream.

The person in front was really Xiao Fan.

Even Chu Feng was full of surprise. Damn, to think he could run into him here!

City Lord Ming Long immediately used his communication jade slip to inform the royal family about Xiao Fan being at the Auction House.

He suspected that if the royal family still couldn't find Xiao Fan, the King would summon him again in a few days.

The price of 8 million to bid for the Silver Moon Glaze discouraged quite a few people who wanted to bid.

But there were still people who spoke up.

"9 million!"

"9.2 million!"

The higher the price went, the less significant the Silver Moon Glaze became; after all, spending so many wasted Spirit Stones to buy this Material was of little use.

Xiao Fan didn't continue to speak, waiting for the next round.

This Silver Moon Glaze was finally auctioned off for 9.6 million.

"The next auction item, the Rakshasa Divine Bead, is an object left behind by an enlightened high monk from another major prefecture. The starting price is 8 million Spirit Stones, and each bid increment must be at least 300,000." Jin Zhishuang's voice spread throughout the venue.
