Chapter 147 - 147 147 Auction!

147: Chapter 147: Auction!

147: Chapter 147: Auction!

Li De’an hadn’t planned to participate in the auction, but when he heard that Zhou Yu was coming for a specific herb, he and Li Shuangshuang decided to accompany Zhou Yu to the auction hall.

Thanks to Li De’an’s connections, the organizers provided them with a private VIP room on the second floor, room number 8.

Sitting in the VIP room, Zhou Yu looked down and could see the entire auction hall at a glance, and he also noticed that there were nine other VIP rooms like theirs on the second floor.

In these nine VIP rooms, Zhou Yu vaguely sensed fluctuations of Innate realm auras.

He clearly remembered that these auras were not present during the earlier reception.

It seemed that these people were here specifically for the auction.

Zhou Yu curiously asked,

“Mr.

Li, who are those people in the neighboring rooms?”

Li De’an glanced around and shook his head,

“I’m not sure myself, but those who can sit on the second floor must be no ordinary people.”

“Based on past experience, this level of auction might attract some bigshots from the provincial city.”

Zhou Yu nodded.

Soon, the auction began.

An elderly man stepped onto the auction stage.

“My name is Jiang Rong, representing the Pavilion Master of Bamboo Pavilion in hosting this auction.

Thank you all for your attendance.”

“Alright, without further ado, let’s get started.”

“Let’s welcome the first item.”

As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, a ceremonial hostess immediately walked up behind him with an item.

Most of the items displayed initially were ancient and famous artifacts, among which the most famous was a wine vessel from the Warring States period, which fetched nearly ten million.

For these items, Zhou Yu was uninterested, and Li De’an was even less interested.

Li Shuangshuang was so bored that she almost finished an entire fruit platter.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Jiang Rong said,

“Next, this item is a rare Spiritual Medicine.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, please look.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu perked up, instantly interested.

The hostess walked up with a brocade box, and Jiang Xin opened it in front of everyone.

Inside was a completely blood-red fruit.

“This fruit is called Blood Ginseng Fruit, a mutated variety of the Ginsengfruit.

It is said that out of a hundred thousand Ginsengfruit trees, only a few might mutate, and this mutated tree bears only one fruit every hundred years, the Blood Ginseng Fruit here.”

“Consuming this fruit can prolong life, improve health, and treat many diseases.”

“The starting bid, five million.”

As soon as Jiang Rong’s voice fell, bids were immediately placed.

“Eight million.”

“Ten million!”

“Twenty million!”

The bidding prices rocketed like a shooting rocket.

Li De’an watched the fruit and expressed his admiration.

“This is the Blood Ginseng Fruit.

I’ve only heard of it but never thought it really existed.”

Zhou Yu replied with a light smile,

“Mr.

Li, do you want it?”

Li De’an chuckled and showed an eager expression.

“Such a rare Spiritual Fruit, I certainly can’t miss it.”

Zhou Yu replied with a light smile,

“Actually, the fruit is flawed and doesn’t have the effects he mentioned.”

“Oh?” Li De’an was startled, “What flaw?”

Zhou Yu said calmly,

“A real Blood Ginseng Fruit isn’t this red, but a dark red.

This Blood Ginseng Fruit is overly red, obviously processed, having only a third of the real Blood Ginseng Fruit’s effects at best.”

“How do you know?” Li De’an was taken aback.

Zhou Yu smiled, “I’ve seen many.”

The old man often used them to brew wine, how could he not know?

Seeing this, Li De’an shrugged and chuckled.

“If that’s the case, there’s no need to buy it.”

Soon, the Blood Ginseng Fruit was auctioned off for fifty-five million to a middle-aged man.

Then, the next item was brought up.

“Next, the item to be auctioned is this.”

“Seven-Colored Heart-connecting Grass.”

“This item has miraculous effects on fatal injuries such as heart channel ruptures, starting bid, ten million!”

As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, fierce bidding immediately started in the hall.

“Twelve million!”

“Fifteen million!”

“Twenty million!”

“…”

Watching the fierce bidding below, Li Shuangshuang couldn’t sit still.

“Zhou Yu, isn’t that the herb you want?

Aren’t you going to bid?”

Seeing Li Shuangshuang so anxious, Zhou Yu found it somewhat amusing.

“No rush, let them have their fun first.”

Li Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu and reluctantly waited.

Before long, the price reached thirty million, and the number of bidders had clearly decreased significantly.

Zhou Yu decisively spoke.

“Forty million!”

Jiang Rong immediately waved, “Room 8, forty million!”

Then, Room 4 also started bidding.

“Forty-five million!”

Zhou Yu didn’t hesitate and raised the bid, “Fifty million!”

Room 4: “Sixty million!”

Zhou Yu: “Seventy million!”

No matter the cost, he couldn’t let this go; otherwise, Lin Wanhao’s injuries would be very difficult to heal.

At this moment, inside Room 4.

A middle-aged man frowned.

“Who is in Room 8?”

His subordinate said, “It’s Li De’an from Yancheng.”

The middle-aged man coldly said,

“Go, remind him a bit, just say this item is specifically requested by Mr.

Liu from the provincial city, and if he doesn’t want to die, he should shut up immediately.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate turned and left.
