14. A Hidden expert

The second item was soon brought out, a 600 years old Green Ginseng. It is said that it could improve blood circulation, have a calming effect, be able to treat insomnia, and reduce stress. It just needs to be refined by an expert in medication skills. Then, it could be cut into pieces and mixed with tea leaves. They just have to drink it every day for treatment.

After hearing this, Su Long, Su family's leader was tremble in excitement. He personally attended this auction, hoping to obtain this top grade ginseng. He would not feel at ease if he was not here.

Tang Yu, who was sitting behind Su Long, would sneak a glimpse at Su Linger and Baiting from time to time. 'They were really top grade beauty', he thought. He would take them both as his wives if the opportunity arrived.

"Ten gold tale from Su Family," a servant said from the second floor. This bid clearly empathize with the word "Su" family to the crowd.

As expected, no one dared to challenge Su Long. However, Liu Fan could not let this happen. If it happened once, it would be ok, but if it happened every time, how could he run his business.

Liu Fan called out a bid, "Eleven gold tales."

The atmosphere became tense immediately. No one would have thought that there was someone who wanted to compete with the Su family. People on the ground floor were discussing in low voice.

"Is he stupid, he dare to compete with the Su Family?"

"Shut up! It is you who are stupid. Don't you notice that the voice came from the top floor? He must be someone with status!"

"..."

Su Long was stunned.

In Red River City, Su clan was considered to be one of the top tier families. What they want was easily achieved. The other three families would also give him some face. 'Who was that? Who dare compete with him?' he thought. Then he said probingly.

"I, Su Long, sincerely ask which family sir belong to? I really need this ginseng, as my wife was severely ill."

It was a smart move from Su Long. First of all, he asked for the background from the other party. Secondly, he used a good-husband-caring-about-his-wife word to others. If Liu Fan refused to step back, he would be labeled as a bad guy. On the other hand, if Liu Fan really stepped back. Su Long would be able to obtain the ginseng.

Liu Fan could clearly see through Su Long's words. Then he retorted.

"My family back ground are of humble origin, I don't think you might have heard of. The important thing you should care about is that I also want this ginseng. I obeyed the rule of the auction house. If you were really sincere and wanted to treat your wife, just increase your bid. If the bid was high enough that I could not afford it, I would stop."

Liu Fan's move was also great. If Su Long was really sincerely and wanted to treat his wife, he should increase the bid, not just throwing his weight around at other people. He could have a sick wife at home. How could others not have an injured father?!.

Su Long was stunned again. He could not believe that the other party was not wise enough and still dare to challenge him.

"Alright, Su family would never bullied other, I will bid 12 gold tales." Su Long said arrogantly.

"24 gold tale s," Liu Fan said.

"---", Su Long.

It was so fast that Liu Fan replied, causing everyone speechless.

"Wasn't this too much, don't you thing, sir? the auction just started. Do you really want to go against the Su family?" Tang Yu no longer endured his rage. This man clearly was playing with their limit. He intentionally increased the bid. The price seems already peak at 20 gold tales. Tang Yu was sure that his uncle was also angry but would not express his emotions easily, so he took the lead to argue with the other people. Su Long nodded with satisfaction with Tang Yu performance.

"Continue to bid if you want this ginseng," Liu Fan said

"---," everyone.

Su Long expression was darken. He flapped his palm down on the table, and then he exerted his chi around. The energy Chi was spreading at high speed, and soon, it covered the entire area.

The weakest people soon suffered the Chi pressure. Their body weighted down several time.

This clearly shows that Su Long was enraged, and he wanted to intimidate Liu Fan.

Liu Fan also felt the pressure, as his body became so heavy, even breathing was starting to be difficult. 'What a strong Chi energy?', he thought.

Su Long cultivation had broken through to Chi Explosive Stage 6 realm.

"Su Long, what do you want? stopped this, "Zhang family's head, Zhang Bao shouted. His body became heavy, and his breathing was fast and unsteady.

Su Long ignored Zhan Bao as he exerted more energy.

Liu Fan felt that the pressure was increasing as time passed. He knew that the energy was directed at him, but other people would also suffer if this continued. He went out to the nearby room. He decisively took out an item card, and then he adjusted the card values.

The card was soon shattered as the blue light lit up from the card and covered Liu Fan's body.

Not long a stronger force was spreading. It covered the entire area, expelled Su Long's energy Chi.

Everyone suffered pressure at first, but later, they recovered their breathing.

Only Su Long was pressed down by the mysterious energy. Then, a loud voice echoed the entire building.

"Impudent!"Liu Fan voice was altered, he sound like an old man with strong vitality.

Su Long was stunned as his hair stood up and his body had goosebumps. 'A Nature Chi master?'. Su Long was trying to intimidate another party with his profound cultivation. He was not expected that the auction house had a Nature Chi master hidden as a backer. He was an idiot himself. He should have known that there must be someone strong nearby.

The voice continued, "Do not make a ruckus in this place if you don't abide the rules here, just scram!." As the sound finished, all the pressure in the area was loosened.

Everyone wore a shock expression, and they kept telling themselves not to offend this expert.

Baiting took this opportunity and said, "That was our esteem guest. He would stay here to keep our auction house in order. He would not harm anyone if you abide by our rules. So please be at ease. We shall continue with our bid. "

This time, Su Long no longer called out the bid. He could only stay silent, not wanting to offend this expert. Su Linger understood her father well, so she decided to call out the bid,

"25 gold tales."

At this time, Liu Fan no longer calls out because he has already achieved what he wanted. He wanted to warn these people that they could not just mess with his business.

"This item was sold to Su Family!"Baiting shouted.

The green ginseng was placed inside a wooden box, and then it was delivered to the Su family after the money was paid.

In the meantime, other items were brought out. Although they are top grade and precious. There are no interesting events unfold.

The fifth item was a 200 years old Black potatoes root. It could improve healing speed and provide strong disinfection. It was sold to Zhang Bao.

The seventh item was a high-grade Violet Fairy Grass, which was sold in bulk. These grass help increase the success rate in concoction pills with the fire element. Expert would need this herb to concoct pill that helps absorb fire element power stone. They were sold to Purple Dragon Sect elder, Situ Renyi.

The auction went on.

Last of the day, a one thousand years Purple Ginseng. It could help the cultivators break through the bottle neck in the cultivation path. If someone stuck at Chi Explosion realm and could not advance to Nature Chi Manipulation, would need this Ginseng. The commotion was erupted again, but soon it subside. This was sold again to Purple Dragon Sect.

This item was bought by Situ Renyi with the price of 78 gold tales. Situ Renyi was very quick after receiving the item. He immediately sent his disciples to deliver this to the sect. to avoid unnecessary accidents. Although there was an expert in the auction house to keep orders. But outside the shop was none.
