Chapter 101: Golden Wound Pill – Xiao Yan Falls Unconscious After Being Beaten by Xiao Zhan
"Wu Tian gege, what kind of thing are you talking about that would taint my eyes?" Gu Xun'er asked Wu Tian with a bright, crescent moon smile.
Wu Tian: ...Uh... Well... That...
Gu Xun'er's endless curiosity gave Wu Tian a headache. Left with no other choice, he sighed and replied lightly, "Xun'er, I'll explain everything to you in detail when we get back!"
Much later...
After receiving Wu Tian's careful explanation, Gu Xun'er finally understood what had happened that day. She looked up at him with a playful expression, smacking her lips as she giggled, "Wu Tian gege, you're such a liar! That wasn't inappropriate at all!"
...
But that's a story for another time. Right now, the two of them were still in the auction hall.
Wu Tian's gaze returned to the stage, where a woman in a red dress stood Ya Fei, an enchanting beauty with a voluptuous and graceful figure. He couldn't help but sigh internally, What a little seductress.
Compared to Queen Medusa, Ya Fei lacked that commanding presence, but she made up for it with an irresistible charm that could captivate an entire crowd. To borrow the words of Hong Shixian, "You're so seductive!"
Wu Tian casually glanced at the small item in Ya Fei's delicate hands. No wonder the men below were going crazy, bidding without hesitation. With Ya Fei's teasing gestures and the allure of the item itself, even a wooden stick could be auctioned off at a high price.
Of course, with Gu Xun'er beside him, Wu Tian didn't let his gaze linger on Ya Fei for too long. Instead, he scanned the auction hall and quickly spotted a few familiar faces.
Among them was one particularly familiar person Xiao Yan's father, the Xiao Clan's patriarch, Xiao Zhan. Wu Tian was quite surprised. Given how busy Xiao Zhan usually was, managing the family and looking after his son, what was he doing at the auction?
Could it be that Xiao Yan has already woken up? If so, that would be a shame! He would have missed out on something fun!
Sitting next to Xiao Zhan were the patriarchs of the Jia Lie Clan and the Ao Ba Clan. The fact that all three clan leaders of Wu Tan City had gathered here meant that something in the auction had attracted their attention.
However, Wu Tian remained indifferent. They can do their thing, and we'll do ours. What kind of valuable treasures could a small place like Wu Tan City even offer? It was all garbage to him. If Gu Xun'er hadn't dragged him here, he wouldn't have come at all.
Ahem! Wu Tian had to admit that Ya Fei was quite skilled at setting the mood. With every smile and glance, she effortlessly drove up the bidding price. Whenever the price soared, she would flash a charming, seductive smile at the bidder.
Immediately, those who had been hesitant about spending so much money felt invigorated and once again raised their bids enthusiastically.
Watching this, Wu Tian couldn't help but imagine how Ya Fei might set the mood in a more intimate setting. This woman is a true enchantress, just like Nie Xiaoqian!
And if you don't get the reference she's the kind of fox spirit that seduces a poor scholar, of course!
The atmosphere in the hall remained at its peak, the excitement never fading for even a moment. The thrill in the air made people's blood boil with passion.
"Giggle~ I'm sure all of you came here today not just to support me, but also for this item in my hands!" Ya Fei teased with a playful smile as she raised a small jade bottle.
"This is a Tier 2 medicinal pill, the Golden Wound Pill, freshly refined by Master Gu Ni using a newly acquired pill recipe. It is primarily used for healing. The Golden Wound Pill can instantly awaken an unconscious individual below the Dou Shi level and can even aid a Dou Shi expert in recovering from severe injuries!" Ya Fei announced, her seductive lips parting slightly as she spoke in a soft and delicate voice, making some of the men in the crowd go weak at the knees.
"A Tier 2 Golden Wound Pill? Heh..." Wu Tian chuckled lightly, unimpressed.
Gu Xun'er, of course, had no interest in it either. To them, a mere Tier 2 pill was far too low grade to even be worth considering.
But while they weren't interested, others in the hall certainly were. The three major clans, in particular, were determined to obtain it.
A pill that could help a Dou Shi recover from serious injuries was invaluable to any of these clans. If it meant preventing the loss of a powerful warrior, who would be willing to pass up such an opportunity?
Nobody in the hall dared to question the authenticity of the pill. After all, Master Gu Ni was a well known Tier 2 alchemist. Alchemists held high status, and none of them would risk their reputation by selling fakes.
Wu Tian's gaze fell on Xiao Zhan, who sat in the front row, looking particularly anxious and desperate to obtain the Golden Wound Pill. His reaction didn't seem like an act.
Something's not right with Xiao Zhan.
Currently, the Xiao Clan had Gu Xun'er, a mysterious and powerful girl, along with Wu Tian himself, another enigmatic presence, and even Hai Bodong, a hidden powerhouse acting as their butler. Xiao Zhan should have known that they wouldn't make a move against the Xiao Clan until they got what they wanted. In fact, they would even protect the clan for the time being.
So why was he acting so desperate? Given his usual Oscar worthy performances, he should have remained composed, waiting for the other two clans to bid before stepping in himself to raise the price strategically.
Wait a second
Suddenly, Wu Tian thought of a very plausible reason for Xiao Zhan's urgency.
Did this "acting king" Xiao Zhan try to wake up Xiao Yan the same way I did and end up beating him half to death instead?!
That had to be it! There was no other explanation for his panic.
Of course, there was also the slight possibility that after getting a face full of blood from his son, Xiao Zhan had flown into a rage and beaten Xiao Yan into a coma out of sheer frustration.
The chances were slim, but it was possible. Only one person would know for sure the poor soul still trapped inside the ring, Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable, who had yet to make an appearance.
Wu Tian had mixed feelings about Yao Chen.
On one hand, he liked him because the old man possessed a Heavenly Flame. On the other hand, he found him incredibly irritating. Yao Chen and Xiao Yan were both complete freaks.
The guy had a bad habit of staring at his disciple's girlfriends. In the original story, throughout Xiao Yan's journey, Yao Chen saw everything. He couldn't act on it himself, so he just instructed Xiao Yan on how to act. With his fingers! Holy
People said Han Feng was unfilial for wanting to kill his master, but honestly, who wouldn't want to off him? If anything, killing him was the right thing to do! Only a pervert like Xiao Yan could tolerate a master like that.
So Wu Tian decided to let Yao Chen stew in the ring a little longer.
You want to come out and be Xiao Yan's cheat code? Too bad. He's going to stay unconscious for a few more days. Let's see how you handle that!
As for Xiao Zhan?
Heh... It won't be long before he comes begging me for help.
"Giggle~ The starting price for the Golden Wound Pill is 8,000 gold coins. Let the bidding begin!" Ya Fei announced with a smile, her gaze lingering on the three clan leaders. She knew very well that they were the true competitors.
But then...
"50,000!"
