Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Final Showdown Item

  The auction continued with great enthusiasm, and the bidders were also very excited, competing fiercely, but Zhao Rui was not interested at all, and couldn't muster up any energy.

  Because these rare treasures that others consider precious are not worthy of his attention.

  As time went on, the auction also gradually approached its end.

  "Now, let's start the auction for the last and most precious item of today, also the most mysterious one!"

  The auctioneer's words flew out in a frenzy as he worked hard to push the atmosphere to its peak, "This is a four-hundred-and-fifty-gram Millennium Ginseng King!"

  "What! Thousand-year-old ginseng!"

  "You can't be serious! Is it true or false?"

  "Is there really such a treasure in this world?"

  "And it's as heavy as 450 grams!"

  “……”

  As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted in the entire auction hall. Everyone cast their eyes on the stage, some excitedly, even standing up, all wanting to get a glimpse first.

  A thousand-year-old ginseng with a light golden luster was placed on a jade plate and brought up, its faint fragrance wafting through the air, making one feel carefree and relaxed.

  "It's really a thousand-year-old ginseng king!"

  "Heavens! Who's so extravagant as to put up this treasure of a lifetime for auction!"

  "It's true! I'm not even using it enough myself, and yet they're putting it up for auction! The seller is either a lunatic or completely clueless!"

  At this time, no one doubted the authenticity of the Millennium Ginseng Emperor anymore. Everyone was shocked by the seller's mysteriousness and madness, actually taking out such a treasure to auction off.

  Yun Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the thousand-year-old Ginseng Emperor displayed on the auction stage. His mind was in turmoil, he had never expected that such a rare treasure would appear at this private auction! A treasure that would bring about a decisive turning point in his destiny!

  Yun's family is a big one, and the competition among the younger generation is particularly fierce. As Yun Lao's trusted assistant, Yun Feng has an extremely high status and power, and naturally, many people are eyeing his position.

  Last time he didn't do well with the errand entrusted by the old steward, there have been many voices attacking him within the family, although it's not threatening his position for the time being, but if it continues, it will definitely shake his position in the eyes of the old steward.

  So he is now being very careful and cautious in his actions, making up for his past mistakes little by little, eliminating the discord within the family little by little.

  However, the emergence of this thousand-year-old ginseng king gave him a turning point.

  This thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare treasure that ancient warriors would find hard to come by! If used to refine elixirs, it can cause one's power to soar rapidly! How many elixirs can be refined with such a large thousand-year-old ginseng?

  It can be said without exaggeration that the strength of the entire Yun family will be upgraded by a level because of this!

  In addition, the leader of the Yun family, Yun Xiong and Yun Lao Yezi, due to his haste in cultivation, suffered a severe injury to his meridians, resulting in paralysis for many years. This thousand-year-old ginseng might be able to help him recover from his injuries and have a huge impact.

  If he could really combine these two merits, it would not only be enough to consolidate his position within the family, but also greatly enhance his status!

  This thousand-year-old ginseng must be bought!

  Yun Feng clenched his fists, making up his mind. However, he also knew that almost everyone in this auction hall was eager to get the thousand-year-old ginseng, and the competition would be extremely fierce later on. The funds at his disposal might not be enough, so he had to ask the old steward for a larger authorization limit.

  He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Yun Lao's housekeeper, briefly telling him about the situation here, and anxiously waiting for the old housekeeper's response.

  "No matter what the cost." The old butler only said four words on the phone, but it showed his attitude.

  Yunfeng let out a gentle sigh of relief, and his heart surged with an indescribable excitement. With the support of his family, his chances of taking down the thousand-year-old Purple Emperor had greatly increased!

  Lin Baode stroked his beard, watching the crowd in the hall with a cold eye, thinking to himself: Everyone is shocked by Zhao's thousand-year-old ginseng! The auction later will definitely be a fierce battle! However, if these people knew that Zhao didn't care about the thousand-year-old ginseng at all and would casually eat it raw or give it away as a gift, I wonder what kind of expression they would have on their faces?

  At this thought, Lin Baode couldn't help but reveal a few smiles on his face.

  "Now the auctioneer began shouting on the auction stage: 'Now starting the auction of Millennium Ginseng Emperor! Low price, 40 million! Each bid increase is 5 million!'"

  "Five million!" The auctioneer's voice had barely fallen when someone started bidding.

  "55 million!"

  "Sixty million!"

  "Eight hundred million!"

  The numbers are growing in leaps and bounds, but no one is willing to back down. Because they all know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if missed, it's likely that there will be no chance to encounter such a treasure again in this life!

  In less than ten seconds, the price of Qian Nian Jian Huang broke through the 100 million yuan mark and continued to rise rapidly.

  "Congratulations, you are now a billionaire." Lin Baode smiled at Zhao Rui and said in a low voice.

  Zhao Rui also smiled, although he was a little unexpected at first, but now he has calmed down.

  In just this short sentence, the price of Qian Nian Chan Huang skyrocketed again, breaking through 300 million, and some weaker buyers had to regretfully exit the auction, looking dejected.

  “……”

  "Three billion three hundred million!"

  "Three billion four hundred million!"

  "Three billion five hundred million!"

  "Four hundred million!"

  Yunfeng's face sank, and he directly skipped 50 million, offering a high price. No matter what, he had to take down the Millennium Ginseng.

  The middle-aged man looked at Yunfeng with some surprise and hesitated for a moment.

  The auction requires a huge financial backing, although he is a billionaire, 400 million yuan is still a considerable amount.

  However, he hesitated for only two seconds before continuing to bid, after all, a treasure like the Millennium Ginseng was something that could hardly be seen once in a lifetime, and it had an irresistible attraction to him.

  "Four hundred and ten million!"

  "Four billion five hundred million!" Yunfeng greatly increased the price.

  "Four hundred and seventy million!" The middle-aged man followed again.

  "Five hundred million!" Yunfeng reported this price without hesitation, he was determined to get it.

  "500 million, for the first time!"

  "Is there anyone who will continue bidding?" The auctioneer's gaze fell on that middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man remained silent, this price had already exceeded his bottom line of tolerance.

  "500 million, for the second time!"

  The auctioneer raised his hammer high, his eyes scanning the room quickly and carefully, missing no detail.

  Yun Feng had always been calm and composed, but at this moment, he couldn't help but break out in tense sweat on his forehead, he really didn't want anyone else to come out and compete with him.

  "Five hundred million... for the third time! Sold!" The auctioneer slammed down his hammer heavily, his voice a little hoarse. This was the largest single transaction amount in his auction career.

  The middle-aged man let out a deep sigh, lamenting that this treasure had slipped through his fingers.

  "It's a deal!"

  Yun Feng let out a quiet sigh of relief and relaxed completely, as if he had just gone through an intense battle.

  Adding a 10% handling fee, he spent a total of 5.5 billion to get this thousand-year-old ginseng king.

  However, he felt it was worth it, extremely worth it, because the value of this thousand-year-old ginseng to the Yun family far exceeded 5.5 billion! Moreover, having made such a great contribution, his status in the Yun family would also rise with the tide!

  The bidders in the auction room all applauded, casting envious and jealous glances at Yunfeng. If they also had the vast wealth of the Yun family, they would have continued bidding without hesitation until they got their hands on this thousand-year-old ginseng!

  At the same time, everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts: Who is this mysterious seller? Why did he take out such a rare treasure for auction? Does he have more treasures like this in his hands?

  No one had expected that the mysterious seller was actually sitting among them.
