Indeed, poverty limits one's imagination.
The wealth of one family could buy the entire Southeast Asia. Li Chuan felt like a small fry in front of the Jin Family!
No wonder they could casually cite 60 billion.
"61 billion!" Just as Jin Yuanbao was feeling triumphant, a girl who seed to be in her twenties, with short silver hair and a cold deanor, started bidding.
Li Chuan glanced at Ouyang Chunshui.
Ouyang Chunshui patiently explained, "That girl is Cao Zhen, the daughter of Grandmaster Cao Rulong!"
The Cao Family?
Li Chuan was taken aback. Could there be any relation between this Cao Family and the Wei and Wu's Legacy's Cao Family?
Ouyang Chunshui said, "Don't underestimate her just because she's a girl. This Cao Zhen is also a Martial Arts prodigy, reaching the level of Innate Master at seventeen and becoming a Grandmaster just last year."
"Oh?"
Li Chuan was sowhat surprised. Truly, like father, like daughter. A Grandmaster's daughter is on a different level!
Though she looks rebellious with that dyed white hair, she's actually a genius in the Martial Arts Realm.
However, she looked too cold, with a deanor that kept people at a distance, and her features were very pronounced and aggressive, which didn't quite match Li Chuan's taste.
"Seven billion!"
Following Cao Zhen's bid, a hefty man raised the bid to seven billion, lifted a tea cup in front of him, and gestured towards Cao Zhen, smiling though it seed provocative.
Ouyang Chunshui: "The one who shouted seven billion is Dian Xiong, the third son of Grandmaster Dian Wei. Dian Wei and Jin Xing are old rivals, both having fallen for the sa girl when they were young and fought over her for many years."
"Jin Xing, whose strength was below most, used his great wealth to defeat Dian Wei."
"Since then, these two families have been at odds. Whenever the two Grandmasters et, they fight, and their descendants fight as well. When these forces appear sowhere, trouble follows. I hope they don't cause problems in my Yun Valley."
Li Chuan found this quite interesting to hear.
If the Jin Family and Dian Family are like this, then that Dian fellow might purposely inflate the price, bleeding the Jin Family dry?
If that's the case, he'd be profiting big ti!
"Hmph! Can you really take away sothing I have my eyes on, Dian?" Jin Yuanbao sneered, "You Dian Family can only eat our Jin Family's dust in terms of wealth."
"I must have this amulet!"
Jin Yuanbao said as he raised his hand, "I bid nine billion!"
Dian Xiong: "Ten billion!"
"Eleven billion!" Jin Yuanbao, undeterred, bid again!
He seed like he was buying vegetables at a market.
Ten billion is equivalent to an ordinary person's hundred yuan.
Jin Yuanbao lazily said, "Dian, if you think you can bleed my Jin Family dry with such thods, think again. For , money is just a number, no matter how much I spend! We have plenty of money printers in Southeast Asia."
Dian Xiong's expression darkened: "Twelve billion!"
In fact, he wasn't trying to bleed the Jin Family, he genuinely wanted to win this amulet, but unfortunately, he was up against the Jin Family.
"Alright then, I bid twelve billion and one hundred million!" Jin Yuanbao laughed.
Dian Xiong was stunned, took a deep look at Jin Yuanbao, and had to give up!
There was no point in bidding higher.
After all, there's still a final treasure as the centerpiece. Even if he couldn't acquire this amulet, he must secure the final treasure. He doubted that spoiled Jin scion could fight him over an alchemy furnace.
"Let's congratulate the young master of the Jin Family for obtaining the twentieth auction item, an amulet equating to the Celestial Master Mansion's Earth-level Talisman!"
The host was also very excited.
Over a thousand billion exceeded all expectations.
Li Chuan took a sip of tea in front of him to calm himself.
He hadn't expected that a simple talisman he casually drew could fetch such a price!
Earning money had never been so easy!
Now, with this wealth, acquiring the final centerpiece item, the Pill Furnace, would be effortless.
Of course, as long as the cash-flinging Jin Yuanbao doesn't disrupt the proceedings.
As long as the Jin Family doesn't intervene, he's confident he could win smoothly.
Soon, the host brought up the final auction item.
Three burly n, using a very thick rope, carried up a small black alchemy furnace, about 30 cm in length and about a dozen centiters in diater.
The short journey left the three n drenched in sweat, faces flushed, with veins bulging on their foreheads.
This alchemy furnace, though it looked small, was incredibly weighty, weighing over a thousand pounds, made of unknown material, engraved with a soaring phoenix, looking like an antique with rich historical value.
Moreover, as the alchemy furnace made its appearance, a dense dicinal aroma filled the auction hall, refreshing everyone.
The host, now confident, stated, "Ladies and gentlen, this is the last item of our auction, the centerpiece treasure. Our auction house owner acquired this item by chance. To this day, its origin and background remain unknown. However, we ascertain that this Pill Furnace was originally a Taoist alchemy furnace, as you may sll the dicinal aroma in the air, wafting from within the furnace."
"By the way, we observed closely, and at the bottom of this alchemy furnace are the ancient characters for Nanhua!"
Upon hearing this, soone imdiately stood up excitedly: "The style of this furnace resembles the Three Kingdoms era. Could it be that this furnace belonged to the famous Nanhua Old Immortal from the Three Kingdoms period?"
Nanhua Old Immortal was a mysterious old figure from the Three Kingdoms period, considered almost immortal!
Many people imdiately made this connection.
The host, however, shook his head, "Ladies and gentlen, we're not sure. The owner of our auction house has researched, but Nanhua Old Immortal is rely ntioned in folklore, with no docunted evidence of him possessing an alchemy furnace."
"Revealing the mysteries of this alchemy furnace depends on fate and opportunity."
"Alright, I won't say much more. Let's begin the bidding for our final product."
"The starting bid is two billion!"
"Each subsequent bid must not be less than one billion."
The starting price of 200 billion! Indeed deserving of a centerpiece treasure!
For a mont, the auction hall fell silent, with everyone showing a serious deanor.
Just how high could such a treasure go?
One couldn't even dare imagine!
