Chapter 41 - Ye Chen Reluctantly Parts with Love
She never imagined that this ancient book could fetch the sky-high price of ten million! This was far beyond the book’s intrinsic value.
Ye Chen, with a sullen face, watched the direction of the ‘Heaven’ private room, his thoughts racing. Could it be that the other party also saw the unique value of this ancient book?
“Ten million once…”
“Ten million twice…”
“Twenty million!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth and called out, directly offering twenty million.
Although he didn’t have that much money on him right now, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
“He really is a clown jumping on the beam…” Jiang Che looked on with disdain, for he had something that no one else did – wealth.
“One billion!” As Jiang Che’s voice fell, the room fell into a stunned silence.
Nobody expected that an ancient book with a starting price of only five hundred thousand would be bid up to a billion.
“Who on earth is in that ‘Heaven’ private room…”
“I don’t know, but anyone who can offer a billion must be no ordinary person.”
The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves, speculating about the identity of the big shot in the ‘Heaven’ private room.
Ye Chen looked darkly towards the ‘Heaven’ private room, not expecting the other party to offer such a high price.
“Forget it, I won’t raise the bid anymore. I’ll snatch it back after the auction ends!” In the midst of his rapid thoughts, Ye Chen gave up on continuing to bid.
He would never give up on the “Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles,” but without enough money, he had to find another way.
“One billion twice…”
“One billion three times…”
“Congratulations to the guest in the ‘Heaven’ private room for obtaining this item.”
…
Soon, the “Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles” was delivered to Jiang Che. After swiping his card, the waiter respectfully withdrew.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for snatching Ye Chen’s opportunity, changing the plot, reward: 2000 villain points.”
“System, can you help me infuse this ‘Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles’?” Jiang Che asked curiously, as he couldn’t understand the messy ancient text.
“Yes, but the host needs to use 5000 villain points to infuse it,” the system replied coldly.
“5000 villain points?” Jiang Che’s lips twitched, his face darkening. Five thousand villain points were enough to elevate his cultivation to the innate level!
“Forget it, let’s save it for now. It might come in handy later.”
Following were some less important auction items, and then it was time for the Great Restoration Pill.
“This is an ancient medicinal pill, but it’s incomplete. Currently, no one can analyze its components, nor do we know its use.”
“But this pill, with its historical origins, also has a certain collectible value. The starting price is three hundred thousand!”
“It’s the Great Restoration Pill!” Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the auction item.
He had read about the pill in some ancient texts. It was a side-effect-free pill made by ancient alchemists to enhance cultivation, lost for hundreds of years. He hadn’t expected it to appear here today.
Ye Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked inconspicuously towards the ‘Heaven’ private room.
He didn’t immediately raise his bid, wanting to gauge the reaction of the person inside and see if they truly recognized the value of the item.
Noticing Ye Chen’s gaze, Jiang Che wore a playful smile and instructed A Long beside him, “Raise the bid, go straight to fifty million.”
Although Jiang Che was unsure of Ye Chen’s current net worth, he believed fifty million should be the limit for him.
“Alright, Young Master,” responded A Long.
As the bid from the ‘Heaven’ private room was announced, Ye Chen was utterly dumbfounded. He was now completely certain that the person inside, like himself, had a significant understanding of ancient medicine.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Chen took out his phone and called Lin Xiyuan. “What’s the matter?” Lin Xiyuan’s sweet voice came through the phone, sounding somewhat puzzled and confused.
“Sister, I want to make a deal with you,” Ye Chen said after taking a deep breath. He knew that if he directly asked for money, she would definitely refuse.
Although he was Lin Xiyuan’s junior, matters involving personal interests required clear accounts, even between close siblings, let alone with Lin Xiyuan, whom he wasn’t that familiar with.
“What kind of deal do you want to make?” Lin Xiyuan asked curiously, wondering what her junior brother was up to.
“I want to exchange the secret formula of the Beauty Pill for three billion in cash,” Ye Chen said firmly, though feeling somewhat pained.
The value of the Beauty Pill was much more than just three billion, but he had no choice as the allure of the Big Restorative Pill was even more tempting. After all, the Beauty Pill could only beautify, but the Big Restorative Pill could enhance his cultivation, and he was an alchemist himself.
“Are you serious?” Lin Xiyuan’s voice became hurried upon hearing Ye Chen’s proposition. Others might not know the effectiveness of the Beauty Pill, but she did. It was a creation of the elders in their sect, with almost miraculous effects.
However, their master favored Ye Chen and gave him the pill formula. If she could buy the formula from Ye Chen for three billion, it would be a huge win.
If the product was introduced to the market, it could rapidly become famous not only in Jiuzhou Country but worldwide, potentially elevating the Lin family to a top-level entity in Lijiang.
