Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 339 - 369: Frenzied Bidding (Fifth Update)

Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine

Time flew quickly, amidst everyone’s slight anxiety and some anticipation.

Twenty minutes had passed.

Bai Susu stood up and approached the worker with the broken leg, speaking gently, "Big brother, how do you feel now?"

"It started off very itchy, but now it’s a bit cold and quite comfortable, and my leg doesn’t hurt anymore," the worker with the broken leg replied.

Bai Susu turned to the nurse, "Nurse, please help remove his bandages and splints."

After the nurse complied, she squatted down and removed the bandages and splints from the worker’s leg.

"Big brother, you can try to stand up now," Bai Susu said.

"Really? I’m a bit scared; it can’t have healed so fast," the worker with the broken leg said uneasily.

"It’s okay, I’ll help you," she said.

Bai Susu supported one of the worker’s arms, and the nurse the other. Hesitating for a moment, the worker put his foot on the ground. Under Bai Susu’s encouraging gaze, he somehow found the strength to push himself up.

"How does it feel? Does it hurt?" Bai Susu continued to ask.

The worker felt his foot.

When he was standing, he used to be in excruciating pain, but now there wasn’t a particularly painful sensation on his broken leg, so he shook his head.

"Then I’ll let go now," Bai Susu signaled to the nurse with her eyes as well.

Both of them released their hands at the same time.

The worker’s body swayed slightly, but he quickly steadied himself.

In that moment, the venue erupted into noise; the worker who had a broken leg just twenty minutes ago was now standing up.

"You can try to walk a bit, but it’s best to go slowly, as your leg hasn’t fully recovered. However, walking slowly should be fine," Bai Susu said.

The worker was also somewhat excited at this time.

He was the pillar of his family; with a broken leg, not only did he have to pay for medical expenses, but his household was also running out of provisions. If he could recover immediately, it would undoubtedly save his entire family. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward. Although there was still some pain in his leg, it was bearable.

He took another step, and with each step, his body became more stable. He walked more than a dozen steps across the stage.

He walked up to Bai Susu, knelt down excitedly, and said, "Thank you, Bodhisattva, you will surely be repaid for your kindness."

Moved to tears, he regarded Bai Susu as a compassionate Bodhisattva, rescuing those in distress.

How else could his broken leg have healed so quickly?

Bai Susu hurriedly helped him up, "Big brother, you flatter me too much, please get up, be careful not to injure your leg again."

Now, the entire venue was astir.

A man whose leg was broken just spent twenty minutes to stand up and move again; it was completely miraculous, as divine as the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment from the novels, possibly even more effective.

It was amazing, truly amazing.

Many people excitedly stood up.

Especially those practicing martial arts, for whom broken bones were a common occurrence. The Black Jade Intermittent Ointment was seemingly made to order for them.

As for those from the medical community who had initially been skeptical, their faces were somewhat unpleasant to look at. Such conspicuous evidence lay before them, making it difficult for them not to believe. They really didn’t know how Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company had acquired such divine medicine.

After Bai Susu had the nurse take the worker away, she walked back to the auction stage and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen it, the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment is a miraculous medicine for mending bones and connecting tendons. Even if your injury is old and the wound has healed, it can still treat it, although the process is somewhat painful, requiring the resetting of the old injury followed by the application of this ointment. For this auction, we have five jars of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, with one jar as a sample. We will auction them off one at a time, starting now with the first jar. The starting bid is one million, with each increment being no less than one hundred thousand."

As soon as her voice fell,

someone immediately raised a sign and shouted, "One and a half million."

"Two million."

"Three million."

The fervor of the bidding caught Bai Susu off guard.

Clearly, such divine medicine was priceless to those who could use it.

"Ten million!" Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice rang out, causing the venue to quiet down momentarily because of the sharp rise to the ten-million level.

An old man with a dark face stood up, his expression slightly excited, speaking with a determination to win: "Fellow daoists, I am Tan Dongsheng, as you know, I have long been plagued by a leg ailment, which has never been cured. Now that I finally see hope, I hope you will do me the favor of not bidding against me. I thank everyone here in advance."

His name alone prompted a stir among the crowd.

He was clearly not a nobody.

Furthermore, the fluctuations in his aura clearly indicated that he was an extremely powerful expert, at least at the Mid Xuan-Level.

Although many still wanted to bid, offending a Mid Xuan-Level expert over a jar of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment did not seem worthwhile, especially since Bai Susu had mentioned that there would be four more jars to come.

Thus, the venue fell silent, with no further bids.

Inside, Bai Susu felt that Tan Dongsheng had somewhat broken the rules, but she also knew that many of those present were not ordinary people, and seeing Xiaoshan signal her, she decided not to dwell on it. After all, selling a jar of ointment for ten million was an astronomical price, and not at all a loss. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

So she knocked the gavel and announced: "The deal is closed, congratulations to Mr. Tan."

Joy appeared on Tan Dongsheng’s face.

He wanted to close the deal on the spot.

After paying the money, Tan Dongsheng got his jar of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment.

Upon opening and sniffing it, Tan Dongsheng became even more certain of its rarity, for the jade-like color and scent could not be faked.

His legwork was the basis of his martial prowess, and if he could cure his leg injury, his strength would increase by more than 30%. The ten million was well spent indeed.

After this minor incident,

Bai Susu began the auction for the second jar and before starting, she still reminded, "I hope everyone will simply place their bids during the auction."

The bidding for the second jar started off.

It was even more intense than the first jar.

After all, the first jar was entirely bought by Tan Dongsheng with a favor.

Quickly, the price broke through ten million.

It finally settled on twenty-two million and was purchased by the Tang Family.

The third jar, eighteen million.

The fourth jar, sixteen million.

For the fifth jar, the competition became intense again since it was the last one, and in the end, it was bought by the Yizhenhu Family for thirty million.

Clearly, the price was way beyond the value of the medicine itself, and the Yizhenhu Family’s purchase was not merely for treatment.

Bai Susu had not expected the first item to bring in nearly a hundred million.

It was outrageous. Having run Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company for so many years, with total assets amounting to just this much, Xiaoshan had brought out a few jars of ointment and sold them for almost a hundred million in cash, leaving her at a loss for words.

Bai Susu took a deep breath.

She composed herself before continuing, "The next item up for auction is..."

The hostess once again brought a tray covered with a red cloth to the stage. Given that the first item had provoked such fierce bidding, and it was the legendary Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, everyone’s curiosity and anticipation towards the second item were even stronger. Thousands of eyes in the auction hall were fixed intently on the stage.
