Elder Dong saw Tu Yilong and was sowhat surprised as he said, "Isn't this the Third Young Master Tu? I rember seeing you before."
Upon hearing Elder Dong's words, Tu Yilong's expression instantly turned cold, and he said, "Why bring up the past? Xu Hao, tonight will be the main battleground between you and , this will also be the second round of our clash, and this ti, I won't let you take advantage again."
He shook the bank card in his hand and sneered, "My Tu family is never short of money. For so unknown reason, my family is very supportive this ti and specifically gave a whole twenty billion Huaya Currency."
Twenty billion!
Almost everyone was shocked.
Just how wealthy is the Tu family to bring out twenty billion for this auction?!
Even Mr. Li Chenggong, as the head of one of Hong Kong's top ten wealthy families, couldn't possibly bring out so much capital directly.
Assets and liquid funds are hugely different, but the Tu family brought out a whole twenty billion – so how much assets does the Tu family actually have?
It must be a terrifying astronomical figure to anyone who hears it!
Seeing the utterly astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Tu Yilong felt quite satisfied, his vanity greatly gratified. He sneered, "Xu Hao, dare you bring twenty billion to attend tonight's auction?"
Everyone was only noticing Tu Yilong bringing out twenty billion, but Xu Hao noticed another sentence, "For so unknown reason, my family greatly supports this ti."
It seems that the Tu family specifically allocated this for Tu Yilong to bid earnestly on tonight's auction items. Publication courtesy of *.
Is there truly sothing so captivating tonight that even the Tu family is tempted?
Xu Hao's lips curved into a smile as he said softly, "A re twenty billion, why fuss over it? But I fear, that your twenty billion might not be enough tonight!"
"Stop spouting nonsense, I brought twenty billion, how could it possibly be inadequate for tonight's auction?"
Tu Yilong disdainfully said, "I suspect that you can't really bring out the money, right? You must have overspent recently, and your family has limited your expenses."
Xu Hao slightly shook his head, smiling, "Whether my expenses are limited or not, we will see soon enough. But tonight, you must keep this money here - ten percent of tonight's auction revenue will be donated to the Hope Project to help those children who cannot afford schooling. I'll thank you in advance on their behalf, Third Young Master Tu!"
"Hmph! I don't care where the auction money goes, I just need to secure the items I want. No one can compete with !" Tu Yilong arrogantly declared.
However, no one in the audience contradicted him.
Xu Hao smiled lightly. Although tonight's host was Li Chenggong, Giannini Auction House was also assisting. Thus, Li Chenggong did not want a share of tonight's auction revenue.
For him, a super-wealthy individual, money was just a series of numbers. What he needed more was prestige.
That's why he often engaged in charity work in recent years. With his enhanced reputation, the impoverished also received help; it was a win-win situation, so why not?
Seeing Xu Hao and Tu Yilong already sparking anger before the auction had even started, Elder Dong smiled and said, "Both of you are dragons among n. Please remain calm. There will surely be items later that will fully satisfy you! However, we are next expecting a mysterious guest. Please welco Elder Xie Yupei from the Valley of the dicine King, the master of Lei Qianjue from the Southwest dicine King!"
The master of Lei Qianjue!
Elder Xie from the Valley of the dicine King!
As soon as Elder Dong announced this, it instantly stirred up the entire venue's excitent, and nurous people stood up, all looking toward the entrance of the hall.
Even Tu Yilong, who was defiant just monts ago, beca much more solemn and also stood up to welco him.
Xu Hao was a bit puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Su Yi, do you know what the Valley of the dicine King is?"
Chen Su Yi also shook her head, as she wasn't too clear about it either.
Ruyue then said softly, "The Valley of the dicine King is an extrely exalted sect, one of only two in the whole of Huaya that specializes in studying dicine and alchemy."
"They can perform alchemy?!" Xu Hao was instantly surprised.
He knew about the art of alchemy and that it was part of the tradition, but he would need to learn it first and then find a usable alchemy furnace to do it.
However, the Valley of the dicine King could directly perform alchemy!
Ruyue nodded, "Indeed, elixir pills, like talismans, are divided into nine ranks, each rank further divides into low grade, dium grade, high grade, and top-grade quality. Currently, there surely exists an alchemist capable of making third-grade elixir pills in the Valley of the dicine King, but fourth-grade alchemists, they surely do not exist, as many years ago all Martial Honors vanished, and with them, all fourth-grade alchemists and talisman masters completely disappeared too."
"Disappeared many years ago? Why?" Xu Hao imdiately asked, feeling that the issue might not be so simple.
Ruyue shook her head, "Regarding this matter, I am also not clear, only aware that hundreds of years ago, all warriors above Martial Honor mysteriously disappeared, with none remaining alive in this world."
