Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The Auction Begins!

"Not only am I not joking, but it is also very possible!"

Elder Ye smiled meaningfully and asked Gu Ronghao, "Brother Gu, do you think the Dan King of the Wan Family in Lin State can concoct Essence Nourishing Pills that can extend one’s life?"

After finishing, Elder Ye gazed lightly at Gu Ronghao.

Gu Ronghao’s eyebrows furrowed, followed by an ever-changing expression on his face.

On Gu Ronghao’s face appeared successive expressions of astonishment, shock, doubt, and then surprise, realization, and understanding!

"I get it! As long as I maintain a good relationship with the mysterious Dan King behind Mr. Lin, or even have him directly become a tributary of the Gu Family, the rise of my family is just around the corner!" Gu Ronghao slapped his forehead vigorously.

"Exactly my point!" Elder Ye nodded lightly.

"Wait a minute!"

Ruyan, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? What’s the matter?"

Both Gu Ronghao and Elder Ye turned their gaze towards Ruyan.

Ruyan’s brows were slightly furrowed as she curiously asked, "Dad, Elder Ye, how can you be so sure that the Essence Nourishing Pill was not concocted by Mr. Lin himself? Must there necessarily be a master behind him?"

"Absolutely not!"

Both Gu Ronghao and Elder Ye shook their heads simultaneously, outright rejecting Ruyan’s suggestion.

"Ruyan, you’re still young, you don’t understand what a Dan King represents! How could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth possibly be a Dan King!" Gu Ronghao chuckled lightly.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old being a Dan King? Ridiculous!

"Indeed! I have studied the art of Alchemy for over sixty years and have only reached the Pill Master realm. That young man, being only seventeen or eighteen, couldn’t possibly be a great Dan King even if he had started practicing in his mother’s womb!" Elder Ye also nodded slightly.

Clearly, both of them refused to believe that the Essence Nourishing Pill was concocted by Lin Fan, but were even more convinced that there must be a mysterious Dan King behind Lin Fan!

"So, that’s how it is!"

The light in Ruyan’s eyes flickered slightly.

...

"Creak!"

Lin Fan was still waiting quietly in Ruyan’s boudoir, and after about half an hour, the door to the chamber creaked open.

"Mr. Lin!"

Ruyan, who pushed the door and entered, was all smiles.

Behind her followed Gu Ronghao and Elder Ye, who walked in together.

"This is my father Gu Ronghao, and this is Elder Ye," Ruyan introduced with a smile.

"Family Head Gu, Elder Ye."

Lin Fan nodded in greeting, displaying neither arrogance nor servility.

"Mr. Lin, with such an impressive bearing, truly a gifted individual. Worthy of being a direct disciple of the Dan King!"

Elder Ye’s eyes brightened immensely upon seeing Lin Fan.

"Dan King?"

Lin Fan was briefly taken aback, then quickly realized that the other party must think the Sixth Grade Essence Nourishing Pill was concocted by a Dan King, and that he was merely that Dan King’s disciple!

Little did they know, the Elixir had been personally concocted by Lin Fan himself, and furthermore, the Elixir Recipe was from the Ancient Jade around Lin Fan’s neck.

However, some of the Medicinal Materials could not be found on Earth, and Lin Fan had used substitutes to concoct the Elixir.

Even so, a single pill could extend a person’s life by three years!

If the original Elixir Recipe could be used to concoct the pills, Lin Fan dared not imagine how many years of life it could extend!

"It’s nothing much!"

Lin Fan shook his head lightly, speaking ambiguously, neither confirming nor explaining.

However.

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, both Elder Ye and Gu Haorong became even more convinced that behind Lin Fan, there must be a mysterious Dan King supporting him!

"Mr. Lin, we already understand the powerful effects of the Essence Nourishing Pill. We’ve decided to auction the Essence Nourishing Pill at the Gu Family’s auction!" Gu Haorong stepped forward and said.

"Moreover, we cannot simply take this elixir without offering something in return. All the proceeds from the auction will go to Mr. Lin. As for the medicinal materials you need, I will have someone find them and contact you when the time comes, okay?"

"Alright."

Lin Fan nodded, with no objections.

"Since that is the case, the auction will begin shortly. Let’s head to the VIP box first!" Gu Ronghao suggested.

...

The Gu Family’s auction venue was astonishingly vast, resembling a sports center, and capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.

On the second floor of the auction venue, surrounding the perimeter, were VIP boxes with massive one-way glass windows allowing views from the inside out, yet making it impossible for those outside to see in.

After escorting Lin Fan to a luxurious VIP box, Gu Ronghao instructed Gai Ruoyan to take good care of Lin Fan, as he had two esteemed guests from Jingzhou to attend to and hurriedly left.

As for the elder Gu, he had gone to the auction site to preside over the auction.

Curious, Lin Fan came to the floor-to-ceiling window and quietly watched. It was his first time witnessing such a grand auction.

Since the beginning of the auction, various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as jade artifacts, were all brought out.

After more than an hour of intense bidding, Lin Fan just stood there, silently watching for over an hour!

’Who exactly is he? And where did he come from? Once I see Mingyue, I must ask her thoroughly!’ Ruyan thought to herself as she sat on the sofa, silently observing Lin Fan’s silhouette, filled with curiosity.

Although she is the third young mistress of the Gu Family, she is still an ordinary woman in her early twenties!

...

As the auction neared its end, all the wealthy tycoons prepared to stand and leave when Elder Ye made his entrance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please hold on——!"

A voice, grand and imposing, rang out, causing all the rich patrons present to halt their steps.

"Hmm?"

"What’s happening?"

"My apologies, but the auction is not yet over. There is one final, crowning treasure that has yet to be auctioned!" Elder Ye said with a smile.

At this moment, many of the affluent patrons recognized Elder Ye. He typically stayed with the Gu Family to offer assistance, also occasionally producing Third or Fourth Grade elixirs for sale. Almost half of the patrons present had come specifically for Elder Ye.

"Elder Ye, what treasure do you have?" a wealthy patron asked.

"Yes, Elder Ye, stop keeping us in suspense. Whatever good items you have, just bring them out. Don’t keep us waiting any longer!"

Some of the rich patrons who were ready to leave also took their seats again.

Only a small part remained standing in the corridor passageway, looking at Elder Ye on the auction platform.

"Well, since that’s the case, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Today’s item up for auction is called——the Essence Nourishing Pill!" Elder Ye declared solemnly.

"Essence Nourishing Pill?"

All the patrons present were momentarily stunned.

"It’s an elixir!"

"Elder Ye, what effects does this elixir have?" A patron inquired with interest.

Elder Ye gave a mysterious smile, took a step forward, and walked to the very front of the auction platform before slowly saying, "It doesn’t have any extraordinarily impressive effects, just that it could extend the life of a person on the brink of death by three years, that’s all!"

"Oh, so it has no spectacular effects then!"

"Just extends life by three years..."

The crowd hadn’t quite grasped what had been said, casually echoing Elder Ye’s words!

But in the next second, as if struck by an electric current that jolted through their bodies, they were shaken and lifted their heads in astonishment to look at Elder Ye on the stage!

In an instant.

The previously raucous auction hall fell dead silent; one could hear a pin drop!
