Chapter 190 Mud Ball
Chapter 190 Mud Ball
The next day, in the evening.
Luxury cars gathered in the parking lot next to Ji's Auction House on Hong Kong Island.
The auction was officially set to begin at seven-thirty that evening, and Shen Feng had already been escorted to the auction house by Ji Yunhan and Uncle Zhong.
One by one, people started arriving in the auction hall on the top floor.
Of course, Ji Yunhan wouldn't let Shen Feng just stay in the hall; she arranged for him to be in VIP Room No. 1.
Uncle Zhong followed at Ji Yunhan's side, greeting the guests.
Gu Qingshan and Gu Tianhua entered the auction hall, followed by two people wearing masks.
"Niece Yunhan, today's auction really has quite the grand turnout! I've watched you grow up, and I truly feel gratified to see the achievements you've made," said Gu Qingshan with a smile, appearing to have a good relationship with Ji Yunhan on the surface.
Ji Yunhan's eyes narrowed slightly as she ushered the Gu Family members into VIP Room No. 5.
After leaving VIP Room No. 5, Uncle Zhong said with a frown, "Eldest Miss, the two people following the Gu father and son might not be simple. It's very likely they're from the Martial Arts World."
He quickly added, "But don't worry, Eldest Miss, people from the Martial Arts World wouldn't dare to attack us rashly, unless they wanted to break the rules set by the Martial Arts World themselves. If they did, they would become the public enemies of the entire Martial Arts World."@@@@
"Uncle Zhong," Ji Yunhan said, "You go accompany Senior Shen in VIP Room No. 1. Most of the guests are about to arrive, and I'm going to the back to make sure everything is ready."
As Ji Yunhan headed towards the backstage of the auction hall, Uncle Zhong made his way to the door of VIP Room No. 1. He didn't dare to push the door open directly; after knocking on the door, he respectfully waited outside.
Upon hearing Shen Feng say, "Come in,"
Uncle Zhong pushed the door open and entered, "Senior Shen, the auction is about to start. We could actually reserve the item you want and give it directly to you."
"This time, there are quite a few wealthy people, but most have no ties to the Martial Arts World. The real masters of Huaxia Country are the people from the Martial Arts World."
"Those powerful families in Capital City are mostly controlled by families and Sects from the Martial Arts World. The items we're auctioning don't really pique their interest, otherwise, today's auction would be even grander."
Shen Feng said indifferently, "There's no need."
After the Medicine Cauldron was auctioned, he planned to leave Hong Kong Island the next day and didn't wish to entangle himself too much with the Ji Family.
Seeing Shen Feng's firm refusal, Uncle Zhong could only shut his mouth.
...
"Seventy million!"
"Seventy-five million!"
"Eighty million!"
"Ninety million!"
"One hundred million!"
The price of the two Life-Extension Pills was climbing incessantly.
After reaching one hundred million, the pace of the bidding slowed down, as not every family had members who were at death's door.
The Life-Extension Pill had an expiration date, and if they were kept for more than three years, their effects would gradually diminish until they became completely useless.
Therefore, after the price reached one hundred million, only families with seriously ill members continued to call out their bids.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Feng sat with his eyes lightly closed in VIP room number one.
Uncle Zhong, seeing Shen Feng resting with his eyes closed, carefully repeated the effects of the Life-Extension Pill and also gave a brief introduction to the Medicine King Sect.
The Medicine King Sect held a very special position in the Martial Arts World; many families and sects yearned for a good relationship with the Medicine King Sect.
After all, the Medicine King Sect could refine a variety of spiritual medicines that were beneficial for cultivators.
The two Life-Extension Pills being auctioned this time were not directly consigned by the Medicine King Sect, but rather someone had obtained them by chance and brought them to Ji's Auction House to be auctioned off.
Shen Feng listened quietly to Uncle Zhong's explanation, showing no intention of opening his eyes.
When the Life-Extension Pills first appeared on the big screen, he already had a glance.
These dirt pills dare to be called Life-Extension Pills? Is the Medicine King Sect playing with mud? To take pride in refining such mud pills?
Shen Feng felt an almost laughable sense of absurdity inside. His own skill in refining medicine was also extraordinary; for him, these mud pills could be made without the need for Lifebound Flame or a Medicine Cauldron. He could easily concoct better pills on a whim, which would surely surpass these so-called Life-Extension Pills by countless folds.
Seeing that Shen Feng had no interest whatsoever in the Life-Extension Pills, Uncle Zhong closed his mouth again.
That made sense, too!
With Senior Shen's medical skills capable of bringing people back from the brink of death, how could he be interested in Life-Extension Pills that only allowed someone to live for fifteen more days?
