137: Chapter 136 Auction!

(Revised Chapter) 137: Chapter 136 Auction!

(Revised Chapter) Moo Xi sat in front of the vanity mirror, staring unblinkingly at her own reflection.

With her fair little hand, she gently caressed her cheek: “Ah, why am I so beautiful?

Truly a natural beauty that cannot be forsaken!”

Thinking of Li Chen, she felt an inexplicable excitement, and her cheeks flushed with shyness.

Just as Moo Xi was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly saw an extra figure in the mirror, which really gave her quite the scare.

Yikes, isn’t that Li Chen, that guy?

How did he appear in my room?

Is it an illusion?

With this thought, Moo Xi rubbed her eyes vigorously.

“Uh, that’s not right, why is it still there?”

Li Chen tilted his head and glanced at Moo Xi, who seemed a bit neurotic, and smilingly asked, “Moo Xi, what are you doing?”

Moo Xi was initially stunned, then let out a sharp scream.

Li Chen was startled by her scream: “Hey, have you taken the wrong pill?

What’s gotten into you?”

Moo Xi also realized that she had just lost her composure.

With a flushed face, she asked indignantly, “How can you enter someone’s room without knocking?”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “I knocked several times, but someone was too busy drooling at her own reflection in the mirror to hear anything.

Is that my fault?”

Moo Xi paused at his words: “Drooling at the mirror?”

Li Chen pointed to the vanity mirror, where several bright droplets of water glistened: “Isn’t that your drool?”

Following the direction of Li Chen’s finger, Moo Xi looked and after a moment of stupefaction, she covered her face with both hands, looking utterly despondent.

“Ah, my image is completely ruined now!”

Li Chen saw Moo Xi, who looked like she was about to explode, and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, Lady Moo.

I heard from your grandfather that there’s an auction in Jiangnan Province’s capital on the evening after tomorrow.

Get ready, we’ll go together!”

Moo Xi nodded and said, “Oh, okay!”

“Alright then, I’ve got some things to do so I’ll head back first.

Stay put at home these next two days, and I’ll come pick you up the day after tomorrow!”

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Moo Xi who looked utterly bewildered, and turned to walk towards the door.

After Li Chen left, Moo Xi finally came back to her senses.

The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, Moo Xi packed her bag and took a special car to the capital of Jiangnan Province, Jinling City, with Li Chen.

Jinling, as the capital of Jiangnan Province and an ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is far more prosperous than Donghua.

It’s a bustling place that can rival Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen throughout Huaxia.

However, the ten miles of Jinling’s prosperity did not catch the interest of Li Chen and Moo Xi.

Li Chen was solely focused on the auction, looking completely unruffled, as composed as a monk in meditation.

Right now, his only concern was whether there would be items he wanted at the auction?

Moo Xi grew up in Jinling and was very familiar with every grass and tree here, long used to it and naturally didn’t pay much attention.

Moreover, she had her own little thoughts.

After the auction, if that jerk Li Chen tries to have his way with me, should I stay reserved and reject him at first?

But what if he forcefully takes advantage?

How should I cope then?

It seems I can’t beat him.

At that time, does his little buddy wear a helmet, or do I take medicine, or maybe double protection?

While Moo Xi’s head was filled with R-rated scenes and she was particularly conflicted, Li Chen’s voice suddenly rang out, startling her greatly.

“Hey, Lady Moo, what are you thinking about?

You’re so absorbed?”

Moo Xi was like a child who had done something wrong and got caught by the teacher, quickly turning her little head to the side, her face flushed as she argued, “I wasn’t thinking anything!”

Seeing Moo Xi’s evasive gaze and rosy cheeks, Li Chen knew she must be thinking about something.

However, he was too lazy to guess what Moo Xi was thinking, so he didn’t continue to press her.

After some small talk, they shifted the conversation to the auction event that evening.

Moo Xi explained: “Such auction events are held several times a year.

The attendees are mostly aristocratic families from Jiangnan itself.

Distinguished figures from the surrounding areas can also be invited by the organizers to participate.”

Saying this, she glanced sideways at Li Chen, and seeing that he was listening intently, she continued.

“Actually, I think the main purpose of the auction is to provide a platform for everyone to interact and expand their social circles.

However, it’s also common to auction off antiques, paintings, and even highly-sought-after Magic Artifacts and pills.”

Li Chen, growing interested, inquired, “Magic Artifact, pills?”

Moo Xi nodded, saying, “Yes.

It is said that these Magic Artifacts can vanquish demons, repel evil, protect one’s life, influence Feng Shui, and alter fate.

However, whether they have these miraculous effects, I do not know.”

“As for the pills, they are basically supplied by Taoist sects from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

They’re said to have divine effects, able to cure the dead and knit flesh to bone.”

“Last year, Situ Nan, the richest man in Jingnan City, was critically ill.

He spent twelve billion to purchase a Small Rejuvenation Pill, which is why he’s still alive today.

However, that pill can only extend life by one year, so I estimate that the Situ Family will come again to bid this time.”

Hearing Moo Xi’s explanation, Li Chen appeared to suddenly understand.

A Small Rejuvenation Pill that could extend life by a year must be an Eighth-grade Spiritual Medicine.

Pills are divided into nine grades, with Ninth Grade being the lowest and First Grade the best.

Among them, Ninth to Seventh Grade are called Spiritual Medicine, Sixth to Fourth Grade are known as Immortal Elixir, and Third to First Grade are called Divine Medicine.

Above Divine Medicine, it is rumored that Holy Medicine exists.

However, even Li Chen, who was once revered as the Immortal Emperor in his past life, had only heard of it and had never seen it with his own eyes.

The Body Tempering Pill he made with a pressure cooker was roughly a Ninth Grade Pill, and those concoctions made with ordinary materials, beauty serums, Upright Pills, and the like, could not strictly be considered pills.

They were more akin to excellent health supplements, belonging to the ungraded category.

…

The auction event was set in a high-end club called “Heavenly Life Water.” Located in the tranquil environment of the Western Jinling suburb.

By the time Li Chen and his party arrived, the square in front of the clubhouse was neatly filled with hundreds of cars.

Mercedes and BMWs, commonly used by ordinary rich second generations to flaunt wealth, were here of the lowest grade, completely without presence.

Porsches, minicoco, Ferraris, and other supercars were common here.

There were even several limited-edition Lauren Laisi Phantoms that Li Chen spotted.

This wasn’t so much a parking lot as it was a luxury car show.

If there were a few long-legged models posing seductively beside these luxury cars, it would be a complete event.

“Seems like this auction event is quite a big deal!” Li Chen muttered to himself upon seeing this scene.

Moo Xi took out the invitation, and the receptionist at the door respectfully invited her and Li Chen inside.

The interior of the clubhouse was decorated very luxuriously, even the screen at the entrance with “Guest Welcoming Pine” embroidered on it was worth tens of millions.

Top-grade silk hand-woven red carpets and diamond-studded Italian crystal chandeliers were present; it was a display of exceptional ingenuity at every step.

Inside the glittering hall, there were elegantly dressed elites, social celebrities, and dignified, opulent ladies.

After entering the hall, Moo Xi saw a few of her friends and went over to greet them.

Li Chen, on the other hand, was eyeing the hairy crab on the plate with a thoughtful look.

Just as he was about to strike at the hairy crab, a soft, glutinous voice filled with surprise suddenly rang out.

“Brother Li Chen?”

Li Chen put down the hairy crab and looked in surprise at the girl who also had a face full of astonishment.

“Lin Xuanfei?”
