The better the quality of the jade stone, the greater the power of the protective amulet.
Thatโs why Ethan Smith must have this piece of jade.
โSeven million!โ Someone quickly raised the price.
Without much thought, Ethan Smith shouted, โEight million!โ
โNine million!โ At that moment, a young man sitting in the front row said coldly.
Ethan Smith looked his way, the young man had a handsome and icy face. Beside him stood an elderly man and a middle-aged man.
Ethan released his qi, attempting to probe the strength of these two.
Just as Ethanโs qi was about to touch the young man, it suddenly got cut off, as if severed by something!
Ethanโs face changed instantly, he quickly looked at the old man, who was also staring at him.
A cold smile appeared on the old manโs lips, his eyes even colder.
โThis old man is definitely an expert.โ Ethan thought to himself.
His qi being cut off directly, Ethan encountered this for the first time!
The manโs strength was probably beyond Ethanโs expectation!
โWhatโs the matter?โ Emily Taylor, who was beside him, asked softly.
Ethan shook his head, โNothing.โ
Then, Ethan Smith raised his auction sign and shouted, โTen million!โ
The young man in the front row frowned, seemingly displeased with Ethanโs actions.
He thought for a moment, then raised his auction sign again, โTwenty million!โ At that moment, the crowd gasped in astonishment!
Although the ice-seed jade was of top quality, it was definitely not worth this price!
Spending twenty million to buy a rock, itโs insanity!
โThirty million!โ As Ethan hesitated, Emily Taylor suddenly raised her sign.
โMiss Taylor, youโฆโ Ethan was about to say something, but Emily Taylor placed a finger to his lips.
โItโs fine, itโs the same for whoever of us spends the money, but you have to repay yours, so you should use it sparingly.โ Emily winked at him.
Emily Taylor paused for a moment, and then whispered into Ethanโs ear, โI have secretly saved up a lot of pocket money, around five billion!โ
Ethan blankly stared, then couldnโt help but laugh.
If Emily could save up to five billion in pocket money, how wealthy must the Taylor Family beโฆ
Up front.
The young man looked very displeased, obviously, he too was very interested in this piece of jade.
Just as the young man was about to raise his sign, the elderly man next to him shook his head, โYoung Master Lane, our target isnโt this jade, we need to preserve our strength now.โ
The one referred to as Younger Lord of the Lane Family took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and nodded.
โCongratulations to Mr. Smith for successfully winning the Ice-seed jade pendant with a final price of thirty million!โ The auctioneer shouted.
After the auction of the jade stone, Ethan Smith was constantly glancing at Younger Lord Lane who was not far away.
He always found this young man to be unusual, particularly the old man at his side, whom he couldnโt gauge his real strength.
โMiss Taylor, do you know that young man?โ Ethan Smith pointed to the Younger Lord Lane and asked.
Emily Taylor glanced forward and shook her head, โI donโt know him, why?โ
โI just feel he isnโt ordinary.โ Ethan murmured. โMaybe Iโm overthinking.โ Then Ethan waved it off. ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฆ๐๐ฏ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐.๐ค๐๐
The auction continued.
The following auction items were mostly antiques which Ethan was not interested in.
Eventually, when it came to the sixteenth item, the auctioneer introduced a glass cabinet.
Inside the cabinet was a panax ginseng C.A.Mey. The ginseng looked sleek and lustrous, the quality was very good. freewebno(v)el.com
โOur next auction item is an Hundred -Year Ginseng King, the starting bid is thirty million, each increase must not be less than one million!โ The auctioneer shouted.
Once the item was unveiled, the atmosphere at the scene was immediately pushed to a climax.
โThirty-one million!โ โThirty-six million!โ
โForty million! โ
These wealthy people all wanted a piece of panax ginseng C.A.Mey. For them, maintaining physical health was most important, and a hundred-year panax ginseng C.A.Mey might potentially save their life at a critical moment.
โIsnโt this what youโre looking for? Why arenโt you bidding?โ Emily Taylor asked somewhat puzzled.
Ethan Smith shook his head, saying solemnly, โThis panax ginseng C.A.Mey, though referred to as the Hundred-year Medicine King, its medicinal effects have long since dried up. As for its qiโฆ Itโs scarce to the point of pitifulness, hardly even comparable to a piece of ordinary herb.โ
While speaking, Ethan Smith kept his eyes on the Young Lord Lane up front.
Apart from bidding on that ice-seed jade, This Young Lord Lane had not said a word. His intention was very strong, and he could very be aiming to win an herb.
What worried Ethan Smith more was that the Lord Lane had also not uttered a word for this hundred-year panax ginseng C.A.Mey.
โLooks like this guy knows the worths as well.โ Ethan thought to himself.
This made Ethan feel somewhat troubled. Having a competitor meant having to spend a lot more money.
โCongratulations to Mr. Gordon for winning the Hundred-year Ginseng King for a sum of one hundred and eighty million!โ The auctioneer suddenly shouted from the stage.
Ethan Smith slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
A piece of ginseng with its medicinal effect dried up, has now sold for nearly two hundred million. How exaggerated would the real Medicine Kingโs price
โCultivation really is an extremely expensive affair,โ Ethan sighed to himself.
โNext up, we have our star item.โ The auctioneer announced lightly from the stage.
He waved his hand and two people cautiously came up, carrying a camellia box.
Then, the auctioneer smiled and said, โThis is a wild knotweed that a guest of ours accidentally picked up from a mountain. The starting bid is one billion, and each increase cannot be less than ten million!โ Afterwards, he slowly opened the box.
Inside the box lay a knotweed that was almost withered.
This knotweed looked of extremely poor quality, virtually indistinguishable from the weeds by the road.
โDamn, are they broke or what, selling a piece of trash grass for two billion?โ
โOnly a fool would buy it, right? The radishes pulled up from my backyard are stronger than this piece of grass!โ
โHehe, forget about twenty million, I wouldnโt even want it for two thousand!โ The people in the crowd mocked, expressing some dissatisfaction.
Ethan, however, was fixated on this knotweed! His eyes nearly popping out!
Aside from Ethan, the Younger Lord of the Lane Family sitting in the front row was also eyeing it eagerly, extremely excited!
โYounger Lord Lane, this knotweed is at least two hundred years old,โ the elderly man at his side reminded.
Younger Lord Lane squinted his eyes and said, โThis knotweedโฆ. I must have
