Chapter 591: Perhaps It Is Because I Look Quite Handsome

"You little beast!" Elder Mao Tai flew into a rage. He realized that Xiao Fan was deliberately provoking him here.

He had participated in many auction rounds before, and every time, he had been the one to secure the item in the end.

Whenever he bid on something, the other party would always intervene, then cast a hateful, provocative look, luring him into a trap!

Even this time was the same!

Xiao Fan snorted coldly but did not speak. He was using the same tactic to provoke Elder Mao Tai as before, but this time, a smile of successful conspiracy appeared at the corner of his mouth, which he intentionally let Elder Mao Tai see.

Zhangsun Ning's face twitched. The previous auction items were useless to her, so she was willing to let Xiao Fan use them to irritate Elder Mao Tai.

But this Medicinal Pill was something she needed, and yet this brat…

However, since Xiao Fan had already placed a bid, she couldn't say anything and could only hope that they would successfully win the Medicinal Pill in the end!

There was a constant stream of telepathic messages all around…

"Look, that kid spoke first, and judging by Elder Mao Tai's stance, he surely won't be convinced and will raise the bid!"

"Elder Mao Tai is a powerhouse of the Yuding Realm, after all. How could he possibly be afraid of a kid in the Yuanhun Realm?"

"I think so too. It's better not to get involved in this mess; just watching them fight is enough."

"Nonsense, Elder Mao Tai is in the Yuding Realm, and the female cultivator beside that kid is also in the Yuding Realm… Why would we ordinary people get involved? Isn't that just asking for death?"

"…"

It had to be said that these discussants were very wise. With these two fighting, everyone decided to keep quiet and watch the battle silently!

City Lord Ming Long, City Lord Du Ling, and Chu Feng all had different expressions and were lost in their own thoughts!

"This kid must have a mysterious background, and that woman by his side must be his Dao Protector…" thought City Lord Ming Long.

"It really is him. Who exactly is he…" City Lord Du Ling recalled everything that had happened with Xiao Fan in Linze City.

"To dare to provoke a Yuding Realm expert while in the Yuanhun Realm, he's a real man…" Chu Feng felt sincere admiration!

In an inconspicuous corner of the Auction House, a figure in black appeared silently.

One could not see this person's face, and their aura was restrained, making them feel as terrifying as an abyss.

"Your Majesty, is that the kid you are concerned about?" Beside the Black-robed Man, a beautiful woman with long hair appeared from nowhere. She had a graceful posture and a charming appearance; every gesture she made exuded allure, and her voice made one's whole body tingle.

The Black-robed Man nodded slowly without even glancing at the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman was clearly dissatisfied with the Black-robed Man's attitude and snorted coldly.

…

"8 million Spirit Stones, once!" Jin Zhishuang began the countdown. During this time, she deliberately looked at Elder Mao Tai, as if asking if he would continue to raise the bid!

Elder Mao Tai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but when he saw Xiao Fan's smug expression and the smile secretly hanging on the corner of his mouth, he suppressed the urge to bid.

"This little beast is definitely trying to provoke me on purpose. I must not fall for it!" Elder Mao Tai muttered to himself.

He was not stupid; how could anyone with the cultivation to reach the Yuding Realm be a fool!

From Xiao Fan's expression, he immediately saw that something was wrong!

"8 million, twice!"

The second call for bids rang out, and Elder Mao Tai still did not react…

"8 million, three times, sold."

The countdown ended, and Xiao Fan successfully secured the wangu pill for 8 million Spirit Stones.

If one looked at the price at which Zhangsun Ning had previously purchased the Medicinal Pill, Xiao Fan had saved 5 million Medium-Grade Spirit Stones!

That was 500 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Zhangsun Ning looked stunned. It worked?

This guy actually only bid once and managed to secure the item?

Why…

When she had bid on the Qianyuan Creation Golden Core just now, she had also bid once!

And the price she called at the beginning was also very high. Why did people compete with her, but no one competed with Xiao Fan?

Zhangsun Ning was confused and couldn't figure out the reason behind this, why exactly it was so.

Which step did she do wrong?

Or was it because of something else!

A smile curled at the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth; the plan had indeed succeeded.

First, cultivate an opponent in the venue, then provoke this opponent. Moreover, this opponent must be powerful enough, or at least formidable enough to make others fearful, so that others would not be willing to get involved in the matter between the two.

Xiao Fan had Zhangsun Ning as a backer, and Elder Mao Tai opposite him was a Yuding Realm powerhouse. There were not many in the venue willing to offend both of them for the sake of a Medicinal Pill.

Therefore, when Xiao Fan placed his bid and looked provocatively at Elder Mao Tai, there was basically no one left who was willing to bid.

Moreover, among so many people present, not many truly had the ability to participate in the auction.

These were all experiences Xiao Fan had summarized; after all, acting as a shill for the Treasure Pavilion wasn't for nothing!

Xiao Fan went to exchange for the Medicinal Pill, spending 8 million Spirit Stones…

"Sigh, it hurts, but it's better than letting Zhangsun Ning place the bid!" Xiao Fan sighed.

Having spent 8 million, he had certainly profited.

But it was still painful; after all, that was equivalent to 800 million Spirit Stones!

But thinking about it, it was reasonable. For a Grade 6 Medicinal Pill that could restore one's Foundation, 8 million was not unacceptable.

Xiao Fan returned and handed the wangu pill he had just purchased to Zhangsun Ning.

"The next auction item…" Inside the venue, Jin Zhishuang began to introduce the next auction item.

While taking the Medicinal Pill, Zhangsun Ning's head was still filled with thoughts of why…

Clearly, her method of bidding was the same as Xiao Fan's!

Why did someone compete with her, a Yuding Realm powerhouse, while no one competed with Xiao Fan, a Yuanhun Realm cultivator!

"Why? When you bid, no one competed with you!" Zhangsun Ning finally couldn't figure it out and asked via telepathy.

"Why?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment and said with a serious face: "Perhaps it is because I look quite handsome."
