NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Powerful Intimidation
Xiong Man chuckled, his face full of fat and the conspicuous scar made the corners of everyone's mouth twitch. But with the treasure in front of them, they couldn't care less and had to suppress the nausea in their hearts and continue watching.
Xiong Man grinned at everyone, and when he flipped his hand, a jade bottle appeared in his huge palm. There was a sharp contrast between Xiong Man's palm and the jade bottle. The people below the stage frowned slightly when they saw this. Obviously, if it was an ordinary elixir, they would not be very interested in it.
Xiong Man sneered, opened the jade bottle, and poured out a longan-sized round pill. As soon as the pill came out, an extremely strong pill fragrance filled the entire auction hall.
Everyone's faces changed instantly, and the look in their eyes when they looked at the fragrant pills was instantly replaced by greed and a strong possessive desire. Mo Bei, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and looked at the pills in Xiong Man's hand with a flushed face due to excitement. He couldn't wait to shout to Xiong Man:
"President Xiong Man, how do I auction this pill?"
Xiong Man smiled, and swept his eyes across the crowd with fiery eyes in the field, and finally nodded slightly towards the high-end box where Xiao Yan was. This made Mo Bei, who had been staring at Xiong Man, slightly condense his eyes.
As Xiong Man looked over there, his brows slightly furrowed. Wasn't that the box where Liu Huabai and other members of the Liu family were staying? Could it be that the senior Xiong Man mentioned was right there?
This made Mo Bei's calm expression change slightly. If this was true, how could the Liu family be in that box? Or was all this just Liu Huabai's trick, trying to deceive himself on purpose? But how could Xiong Man help him for no reason?
Mo Bei was still thinking about the problem with a frown on his face, but Xiong Man on the stage laughed loudly. The roar of a bear echoed in the auction hall. His sharp eyes swept across the audience, and Xiong Man finally spoke loudly:
"Okay! Since Young Master Mo has spoken, I won't say any more. Let me introduce this pill to you first. First of all, this pill is an eighth-grade pill!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction hall fell into deathly silence. Even Mo Bei, who was thinking about something and had a melancholy look on his face, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiong Man on the stage with deep shock in his eyes.
Eighth-grade elixir, everyone present looked at Xiong Man with bloodshot eyes, and the sound of swallowing saliva was heard in the auction hall. Xiong Man sneered, and his eyes were as if he was looking at a group of fools. After a long while, he spoke again:
"This pill is of the eighth grade, called Qingling Pill. It can allow a cultivator to practice all the time within a year. Even if they don't practice deliberately, the skills will automatically run today to help the cultivator increase his strength. Moreover, if they are used together with the skills, the speed will be even faster than usual!"
"Wow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the auction hall suddenly became noisy, and some people even stood up and wanted to rob the items like the people before them.
However, they were held back by death. Those who had taken action before paid a heavy price. However, at this critical moment, they were saved by the fear in their hearts. Looking at Xiong Man on the stage, the few people who stood up sat back in their seats angrily, with greed that could not be concealed in their eyes.
Xiong Man sneered and glanced sarcastically at the people who had returned to their seats. Just because of the little bit of fat on his face, this smile made them look quite scary, and made those people tremble unconsciously, with beads of cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Xiong Man slapped the auction table in front of him with his huge palm. A loud noise drew everyone's attention. Everyone nodded with satisfaction and said loudly:
"Eighth-grade elixir, Qingling Pill, base price, two hundred spirit coins!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience burst into an uproar again, and Mo Bei stood up without hesitation and shouted to Xiong Man:
"I'll give you 500 spirit coins!"
The children of other forces who were sitting next to him were not at all outdone and shouted one after another.
"Eight hundred spirit coins!"
"Nine hundred spirit coins!"
"I'll offer 1,200 spirit coins! If anyone tries to snatch it from me, I'll chop him into pieces right now!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Man on the stage snorted coldly, stared at the man angrily, and said:
"Hmph! Sir, you've gone a bit too far."
The man was suddenly startled when he heard the words, his face changed slightly, and after saying sorry, he sat back in his seat angrily.
The shouting and filming continued.
"One thousand seven hundred spirit coins!"
"Two thousand spirit coins!"
"Two thousand one hundred spirit coins!"
"Two thousand five hundred spirit coins!"
"Three thousand spirit coins!"
Mo Bei looked at Xiong Man with red eyes and shouted loudly. As soon as he said this, the whole auction hall became silent. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
It seemed that Mo Bei was sure to get the eighth-grade Qingling Pill. Xiong Man picked up the wooden hammer with a terrifying smile on his face and was about to knock it down. At this moment, the voice of a powerful middle-aged man suddenly resounded throughout the venue.
"I'll give you 5,000 spirit coins!"
The next moment, everyone in the auction hall looked towards the high-end box, because the voice came from it.
Even Xiong Man was looking at the high-end box in a daze, and Mo Bei's originally red eyes were gradually regaining clarity, and he was looking at the high-end box with a strange expression.
Mo Bei blinked a few times and frowned slightly. Could it be that this strong man didn't know Liu Huabai, and Liu Huabai wanted to get close to him, so he bled profusely?
After a slight hesitation, Mo Bei finally did not follow. It was not difficult to offer a high price, but the key point was that he was not that capable. His abilities all came from his father who was the city lord, and he could not represent his father.
In the end, Liu Huabai spent five thousand spirit coins to buy the eighth-grade elixir, Qingling Pill. Although it was a bit painful, Liu Huabai was confident that if he could really make good use of this eighth-grade elixir, he would be able to break through to the Dou Zun level within two years.
Thinking of the strength of Dou Zun, Liu Huabai calmed down. After all, as long as he had the strength, what would he lack? In this world, fists were the only way to speak. If one had a big fist, there was nothing he could not get. What's more, these things were auctioned by Xiao Yan, and in the end, those spirit coins would end up in the hands of his own people. He might as well use this as an opportunity to curry favor with Senior Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan slightly raised his sleepy eyelids, glanced at Liu Huabai through the slit of his eyes, who had a determined look on his face, then closed his eyes again and fell asleep quietly.
Xiong Man took a look at the crowd of heads in the auction hall, then slapped the auction table with his hand. A loud bang echoed throughout the auction hall, and everyone's attention was once again attracted by this slap.
Xiong Man grinned with satisfaction, and spoke again in a deep voice. He stretched out his hand and a silver scroll appeared in his hand. Then, he said loudly:
"The second auction item is a high-level earth-level technique, Thunder Dragon's Roaring Sky Technique!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiong Man waved his other hand forward again, and another silver scroll appeared in his other hand. He waved his arm and the scroll opened.
"boom!"
In an instant, a thunder dragon flew out from the scroll and shot straight into the sky, causing bursts of thunder. When the thunder dragon flew up, the void trembled and strands of lightning shot out of the air.
Seeing this, the people below the stage flew back and scattered. Seeing this, Mo Bei wanted to get on stage, but he saw Xiong Man holding the scroll with one hand and throwing it into the air. He struck out with one palm, and an energy palm formed by fighting spirit appeared out of thin air and flew towards Mo Bei.
Seeing this, Mo Bei's face changed instantly. His body, which was flying towards the crystal platform, made a sharp turn in the air, stepped on the edge of the crystal platform and shot out. The huge energy palm also gradually faded away in the void and finally disappeared.
The energy palm disappeared, but Xiong Man's angry voice came rolling in.
"Mr. Mo, could it be that you want to break the rules of my auction house and rob my auction? I have to tell you, this is not your Beimo City!"
Mo Bei was shocked when he heard this, knowing that Xiong Man was really angry this time. He quickly stopped his retreating body, bowed and apologized to the bears:
"Of course I know the rules of the auction house, but I just saw that the technique was so powerful and I couldn't help my curiosity, so I wanted to go on stage to find out. I almost made a big mistake by accident. I hope President Xiong Man can forgive me."
Xiong Man glared at Mo Bei angrily, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a bone-chilling cold snort. As soon as the cold snort came out, the entire auction hall was instantly silent. Everyone dared not breathe, and their whole bodies trembled, as if they were in ten thousand years of ice, which made people feel extremely cold.
When Xiong Man heard this cold snort, his body froze for a moment. After a moment, Xiong Man hurriedly bowed towards the high-end box where Xiao Yan was and said:
"I failed in my duty and allowed someone to defile the things you wanted to auction. Please forgive me. If you are not satisfied, I will kill the guy who defiled your sacred object!"
As he was about to attack Mo Bei, the owner of the voice spoke again:
"Alright, I'll let you go this time. I'll just give you youngsters a chance. If you do it again, you don't need him to do it. I'll do it myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present instantly felt that the temperature in the auction hall had turned chilly at that moment. Xiong Man and Mo Bei also nodded in agreement, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Judging from the power that could be faintly heard in the voice just now, Mo Beidan was probably at least a five-star Dou Zun. It was not without Dou Zun masters in Bei Mocheng, but he could not afford to provoke someone of such strength. After a little thought, he knew the consequences and decided to give in.
After this little episode, the auction of course went on, but no one dared to talk nonsense in the auction hall, no one used force to pressure others, and the auction was conducted according to the rules, which made the atmosphere in the venue seem a little weird.
