"Yes, sir, Master!!!"
When he finished speaking, the young man and so of his companions helped to support the young woman, who still had a fearful expression, and they brought her back to their accommodation imdiately. As for the middle-aged man who was their master of the two, when he saw his disciples depart, he turned around and imdiately walked into the auction house.
But as he was about to pass by Zheng-Fu's group, he slightly slowed his pace as he stared at Zheng-Fu and smiled at him before continuing without saying a word.
As for Zheng-Fu, he did not show any expression, only looked at the middle-aged man with the corners of his eyes. He did not need to greet or talk with him because he did not know that man at all.
But the young lady and the two elders did not think so. The three of them saw the look in the eyes and expressions of the middle-aged man just now, which caused a feeling of suspicion before Qi-Fu-Er could not bear to ask, "You know him?" she asked with a questioning look, looking at Zheng-Fu's face.
"No! I don't know him at all." Zheng-Fu shook his head in denial.
"Don't you know him? Then why does he look at you like he knows you!?"
"I don't know either. He may rember the wrong person and think I'm his nephew!"
"His nephew!?"
Zheng-Fu's response made the three of them suddenly have a strange expression on their faces because, no matter what they thought, the answer did not seem reasonable at all. Even the average person would know that it was only an evasive answer.
"Yes, yes, yes, but let's hurry inside. Sister Xiao-Jiang, you have to go and do your duty, right?" Zheng-Fu imdiately shifted the matter over to Xiao-Jiang to cut off the three others' questions. Zheng-Fu's words called Xiao-Jiang back to realize that she had to hurry before the event started.
"That's right, I forgot! Thank you very much, my handso Brother Zheng-Fu. If so, I have to excuse myself first. As for your waiting room, I'll let soone take you all there." After saying that, Xiao-Jiang hurriedly walked away, for she was in charge of being an auctioneer this ti, so she had to hurry to prepare herself.
"We can go there ourselves, so you don't have to worry," Zheng-Fu told Xiao-Jiang before turning to his group, "Let's go! The event is about to start."
"Yes, sir, Master!!!"
When Zheng-Fu finished speaking, he imdiately walked in front of everyone, ignoring the gestures of the three companions. Ba-Xie and the four young n and won responded and quietly followed him. Then the girl and two elders followed him with curiosity and suspicion.
Right now, the In-See Napa Auction House was filled with many people coming from all over the country. There were two types of seats inside; the general seats and the special rooms. As for the special rooms, there were up to thirty rooms together. They were divided into three levels: fifteen bronze-level rooms, ten silver-level rooms, and five gold-level rooms, for a total of thirty rooms.
Each room could hold almost thirty people at once. These special rooms were located on the second and third floors according to the level. The ground floor was a common courtyard intended for people who could not book the special room.
In a special room for the bronze level...
"Wow! The auction house here is bigger than in the capital city. Besides, the equipnt and materials used to decorate look good as well. Just a bronze-level room is still such as this. How luxurious would a golden-level room be!?"
"Not only this special room, but even those normal chairs also look good. From what I see, they are probably made of good old wood!"
"I've never thought this small and remote city like In-See City would develop at such a leap forward like this. Other cities may have to respect it as their Master. I really want to know how they could do this. Where did they get the resources from? The amount of resources required to build and expand the city to this size is enormous."
"That's right!"
These doubts did not arise only among the people in this room. But everyone who entered this place and this city all had the sa idea. But no matter how much they thought, they still could not get an answer. So, they turned their attention to the auction instead.
Ahem!
Flap!!!!
Suddenly, a coughing sound rang out along with the curtain on the stage that was slowly sliding open, revealing a woman in a seductive red dress walking through the curtain and stopping in the middle of the stage. And this young woman was Xiao-Jiang.
"Hello, all you honoured guests. I'm Xiao-Jiang, the owner of this auction house, and also the one who announced this auction. Welco everyone to our In-See Napa Auction House," Xiao-Jiang proclaid loudly with pride as she showed off her beautiful figure.
Her expression was quite effective; the n who attended the auction were all drooling in stripes. But the won were different; they all looked at Xiao-Jiang with envy.
"Of course, everyone ca to my auction house today because of the auction items that we've announced, right?"
"Yes!!!!!!!"
"So, not to waste everyone's ti, I'd like to announce that the auction starts now!"
Yay! Yay! Yay!!!
Fweet fweew!!!
"Now, let's et the first item in this auction." When Xiao-Jiang finished speaking, a woman dressed in a seductive outfit with a jade-green hand-sized box walked out and placed it on the display stand in front of Xiao-Jiang before she walked back.
Flop!
Huh...?
When the box was placed, Xiao-Jiang did not hesitate to open it imdiately. After that, everyone's faces suddenly beca suspicious because what was in the box was a green bottle that contained faint green water inside. It looked very much like a normal water bottle.
"I know you all are wondering what this green bottle is, right!?" Suddenly, Xiao-Jiang spoke up, calling everyone's attention back to her before saying, "Inside the green bottle that you all see here is the antidote that can neutralize the poison from the Immortal level down and has a na called Immortal Green Poison Solvent."
"Immortal Green Poison Solvent!!?"
"Can neutralize the Immortal level poison?"
All the bidders imdiately burst into laughter upon hearing what Xiao-Jiang had said. Since the Immortal-level poison was extrely poisonous and each type of poison was different, it was impossible to use the sa drug for treatnt. That caused people to wonder if what Xiao-Jiang had said was true or not.
"Is it true what you said, Miss Xiao!? So, can you let our Serpent Dragon Sect test it?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man from the bronze-level special room spoke up, wanting to test the potion that Xiao-Jiang had said in disbelief.
"Is that the Serpent Dragon Sect, well known for using poisons?"
"They also ca to participate in the auction!?"
"Of course, sir. Elder could test it, but… if it actually has the effect I said, I'm afraid it's going to waste it for nothing," Xiao-Jiang said with a troubled look. But her worried expression was not a matter of neutralizing the poison, it was about the amount that it was dwindling without getting anything.
"Tch!!! If it really can neutralize the green dragon venom of our sect, I'd be willing to pay your compensation for the loss, Miss Xiao.
But if your antidote can't neutralize the venom of our sect, what would you say!?" The middle-aged man was extrely dissatisfied with Xiao-Jiang's words, who seed confident in the Immortal Green Poison Solvent potion, so he spoke out while thinking about gambling.
Green Dragon Venom!?
As for the two elders, upon hearing the na of the poison that the middle-aged man had said, the two of them were startled. They turned to look at him in unison because this poison had attacked the elderly woman for many years without her even realizing that it was actually the Serpent Dragon Sect's poison.
Knowing this, the two of them imdiately realized that the Green Dragon was a demonic beast of the Serpent Dragon Sect.
"If Elder said so, then I agree. If this antidote doesn't really work, we'll be glad to pay the damages. As for the testers, our auction house will take care of them. And I'll ask for your poison so that I can take it for a test." Xiao-Jiang heard that and imdiately agreed.
She was very confident in this pill because it belonged to Zheng-Fu and was used to neutralize the venom once, three months ago.
As for the people who would beco the lab rats, they would be the people of the auction house itself, the close subordinates of Xiao-Jiang. And they had passed the mont of being poisoned themselves, so they dared to beco the lab rats this ti with confidence in the antidote in Xiao-Jiang's hand.
After the agreent was completed without hesitation, the middle-aged man also sent their n down with a bottle of poison to be tested imdiately. They were also more confident in their Immortal-level poison than Xiao-Jiang was confident in Zheng-Fu's potion.
"Since everything is ready, let's start proving it!!"
Gulp!
As soon as Xiao-Jiang announced the start of proving it, the young man who volunteered to be a lab rat imdiately swallowed the poison from the Serpent Dragon Sect. The Serpent Dragon Sect said that this type of poison would only take a short ti to take effect, which it really does, according to that.
After only a few breaths, the young man who had swallowed the poison began to develop strange symptoms.
Aaaah!!! Aaaaaah!!!!!
A tortured cry rang out as the young man's body collapsed onto the ground. After a while, his body turned a purple-green colour as the poison quickly spread through it. The middle-aged man who had been staring in his room was now filled with such a smile that his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Hurry up and give him the antidote to eat!" Seeing that the young man was starting to beco unbearable, Xiao-Jiang ordered the n to imdiately give him the antidote.
Gulp!!!
"It must work. It has to work!!!" Xiao-Jiang prayed in her heart expectantly that Zheng-Fu's antidote would be effective.
"Sister Xiao-Jiang, don't worry. My potion can definitely neutralize the Serpent Dragon Sect's poison!"
Suddenly, Zheng-Fu's voice rang out within Xiao-Jiang's head. It was a sound that only Xiao-Jiang could hear. As for Xiao-Jiang, upon hearing Zheng-Fu's voice, she was imdiately startled. She was about to look for where Zheng-Fu was.
But before she could look around, Zheng-Fu's voice rang again. "Don't look for . I am only sending sound waves to you, Sister. Only you can hear. And as I said, you don't have to worry about the Serpent Dragon Sect's poison because I've healed that poison in the past, and my potion will definitely be able to neutralize it."
Zheng-Fu's tone was filled with great confidence. He believed that the poison the middle-aged man ntioned was definitely the sa venom with which the elderly woman was poisoned. And even if it was not, even if the poison was at the Immortal level, this antidote could still be effective as well.
