90: I like wilder things.

“One thousand five hundred!”

As he shouted, a portly middle-aged man in a private room on the second floor suddenly made a bid.

Upon hearing this price, the entire auction house instantly fell silent.

It seemed this price had exceeded most people's psychological expectations.

Seeing that the host called out “One thousand five hundred, going once” and no one added to the bid, Wei Xun knew it was his turn to shout.

“One thousand five hundred and one!”

Wei Xun's sudden bid left everyone present somewhat dumbfounded.

Even the host was a bit confused!

Before, everyone had been adding one hundred taels at a time, so it was unexpected for someone to suddenly add ten taels.

However, Wei Xun did not violate the rules, as the minimum bidding increment was ten taels.

The portly middle-aged man's face darkened when he heard Wei Xun's bid, and he immediately spoke: “One thousand eight hundred!”

“One thousand eight hundred and one!”

Wei Xun shouted next.

Hearing the commotion, Wang Tianchi next door couldn't help but laugh, “Young Master, are you really rich or just pretending? Why are you adding ten taels by ten taels?”

“Is it any of your business?” Wei Xun sneered, “This is called strategy!”

“Tsk!” Wang Tianchi next door scoffed.

After hearing the bid of one thousand eight hundred and one, the portly man opposite immediately slapped the table and bid: “Two thousand!”

“Two thousand and ten!” Wei Xun added another ten taels to his original bid.

“You little brat opposite, are you intentionally trying to cross me?!” The portly man in the private room on the second floor opposite was directly across from Wei Xun's position.

“Uncle, I don't know you, why would I try to cross you?!” Wei Xun shrugged, looking innocent.

“Fine!” The man nodded fiercely, “Today, I'll show you what true strength is!”

After saying this, the man immediately shouted another bid: “Two thousand five hundred taels.”

“Two thousand five hundred and one!” Wei Xun continued to bid without the slightest hesitation.

“You...” The fat man trembled with anger upon hearing this. Just as he was about to continue bidding, he suddenly saw that the pale-faced Young Master sitting next to the boy opposite was actually Wang Tianchi, the son of the Qian Yuan City Lord.

And Wang Tianchi was even leaning his head to chat with the boy next to him, seemingly on good terms.

Thinking of this, the fat man gave up on continuing to bid.

Meanwhile, on Wei Xun's side.

“Bidding like that is useless!” Wang Tianchi sneered from the side, “If I were you, I'd directly bid five thousand taels, and that fat bastard opposite definitely wouldn't continue!”

“I'll add ten taels by ten taels, is it any of your business?” Wei Xun was a bit speechless.

As soon as he made a bid, Wang Tianchi would start nagging like a fly, constantly annoying him.

“Young Master, don't be ungrateful!” Wang Tianchi sneered, “I'm teaching you experience!”

At this moment, the host, seeing that no one was continuing to bid at this price, shouted: “Two thousand five hundred and ten taels, going once...”

“Two thousand five hundred and ten taels, going twice...”

After three calls, the wooden hammer struck, and Wei Xun successfully won the item.

However, although he successfully acquired the sister of Niu Dazhuang, what puzzled Wei Xun was that Wang Tianchi had bid very quickly in the previous two rounds, but he hadn't made a single bid for this Cow Demon.

While the iron cage containing the Cow Demon was being removed from the auction stage, and the fourth item was being prepared to be brought up.

A servant from Baibao Yuan ran up to Wei Xun: “Sir, please settle the auction payment!”

“Wait a moment!”

Then Wei Xun touched the ring on his finger, took out twenty-five ten-tael gold ingots and one ten-tael silver ingot from the ring, and placed them on the wooden tray the servant held.

“Yes, Sir!” The servant nodded respectfully, then asked: “The boss just asked if you would like us to help you dig out the Demon Core from that monster! The Demon Core can be sold separately for money, and it's also easier to manage a female demon after her Demon Core is dug out!”

“No need!” Wei Xun directly shook his head and refused: “I prefer them wild!”

Upon hearing Wei Xun's words, the servant's expression subtly shifted as if he understood something, then he smiled and stepped back: “In that case, I will go back and inform the boss. After the auction ends, you can go to the back to retrieve your item at any time!”

“I understand!” Wei Xun nodded slightly.

Then he suddenly turned and left the private room.

At this moment, Wang Tianchi next door spoke: “I didn't expect you, Young Master, to have such heavy tastes, even a demon is acceptable!”

“What's wrong with demons?” Wei Xun immediately retorted: “And what I bid on has nothing to do with you!”

“You speak to this Young Master so rudely, do you really think this Young Master is a pushover?” At this point, Wang Tianchi couldn't help but angrily reprimand: “This Young Master is the son of the Qian Yuan City Lord!”

“I don't care whose son you are, you're certainly not my son!” Wei Xun said with an indifferent expression.

Even if this Young Master named Wang Tianchi was truly someone with immense power, it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he was just a demon, and as soon as the auction ended, he would slip back to the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

Wei Xun didn't believe that the Qian Yuan City Lord could bring people into the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

“How did I find you even more arrogant than me?” It was the first time Wang Tianchi had seen someone treat him with such an attitude.

Usually, the people he met when he went out would all follow his lead and be respectful.

Until today, when he met this person who not only wasn't afraid of him but was also so good at retorting.

“Is arrogance your patent?” Wei Xun couldn't help but retort again.

Wang Tianchi was speechless by Wei Xun's retort and could only throw out a harsh remark: “If you have the guts, don't leave after the auction!”

Hearing this, Wei Xun couldn't help but recall the words the ruffians used to shout every day in school: “Don't leave after school!”

Now, it sounded exactly the same!

Soon, the fourth item was brought onto the stage.

“The fourth item, the Qi Nourishing Body Tempering Pill!”

The host lifted the red cloth, revealing an exquisite wooden box underneath. Inside the wooden box lay a reddish Medicinal Pill.

Upon seeing this Medicinal Pill, Wei Xun immediately used Ten Mile Tracking to sniff it from a distance.

Through the scent on the surface of the Medicinal Pill, Wei Xun immediately clenched his palm and submerged his consciousness into the space in his palm.

As expected, he found an almost identical Medicinal Pill among that pile of Medicinal Pills.

Both its appearance and scent were almost identical.

However, the Medicinal Pill in the palm space, whether in quality or scent, seemed to be better than the one currently being auctioned.

“What is this Medicinal Pill for?” Someone asked at this moment.

“This Medicinal Pill comes from the hands of a Great Master alchemist from Mount Wuliang!” The host introduced: “Unlike other oral Medicinal Pills, this Medicinal Pill is not taken orally. Instead, it dissolves in hot water to form a medicinal bath. Soaking in this medicinal bath can not only restore Origin Qi and heal severe injuries, but also greatly increase one's cultivation.”

“Starting bid, one thousand taels!”
