The auction continued, but after confirming that Mo Zhu had already won the bid for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, the four people in private room one had already become relaxed and started to enjoy their tea quietly
The remaining auction items were pushed onto the stage by the emcee one after another according to the established order. Soon, only the last spirit medicine to appear was left.
When the emcee brought the spirit medicine out of the gift box, everyone’s eyes widened with all their might, afraid that they would miss a small detail.
As this was not only the last spirit herb, but also the last item for the Gao family’s auction this time, the various families all stretched their necks and prepared to bid. At this moment, they were already waiting for the host to announce the start of the auction.
Seeing how lively the living room was and how it was the last auction item, Mo Zhu quietly placed the teacup in her hand on the table and looked up at the spirit herb on the stage.
Unexpectedly, after taking a glance at it, Mo Zhu immediately stood up, pushed the door open, and walked to the corridor, prepared to make a bid.
Seeing Mo Zhu’s reaction, the remaining three people followed out with puzzled expressions.
After introducing the rules again, just as the host announced the start of the auction, Mo Zhu hurriedly shouted, “I bid 500 billion!”
When he heard Mo Zhu shout out a bid of 500 billion at the start of the auction, Xu Huan could not help but hit the railing of the corridor and ask, “Little Bamboo, we just spent 1 trillion. Do we still have to bid so high now?”
Mo Zhu frowned with a very nervous expression. She looked at the spirit medicine on the stage in a daze and quickly said, “The herb on the stage is the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. No matter how high the price is, I have to get it!”
What? The Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb? Didn’t Little Bamboo say that we had already won the bid for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb? Why did another one appear?
At this moment, Xu Huan’s eyes darted around. He was also very smart and instantly understood the meaning behind Mo Zhu’s words. He immediately echoed loudly, “Even if it’s the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, we can’t afford it. We’ve already spent so much money to auction for a fake. Where can we get more money to auction for this now?”
Their conversation was neither loud nor soft, and it was just loud enough for the guests in the surrounding private rooms and on the first floor to hear.
Mo Zhu looked straight at the spirit herb on the stage and pointed at Huo Xuan, emphasizing, “Huo Xuan has money, ask him to auction this herb for me.”
Xu Huan rolled his eyes angrily and turned around to return to the private room, ignoring the three people on the corridor.
The people in the Lu family’s private room opposite them had also noticed the commotion. Lu Zheng saw their actions through the window and was extremely excited.
He quickly opened the door of the private room. His pupils constricted suddenly as he joined the intense bidding. “55 billion!”
Lu Zheng clenched his fists nervously. He had already repeatedly confirmed with his subordinates on the funds that they had transferred over from the Lu family. He would definitely not give up on this spirit herb easily.
As the conversation between Mo Zhu and Xu Huan was heard by the crowd, and in addition to Lu Zheng’s abnormal reaction, everyone could almost conclude that this herb on the stage was the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.
Before the host could continue, everyone was already raising the prices.
“600 billion.”
“650 billion.”
“700 billion.”
The price of 700 billion was called out from the Kang family’s private room. Just now, in the private room, the doctor Lin Yuan had invited had clearly indicated that this herb on the stage was the most similar to the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. In addition to everyone’s current reactions, she did not have time to think carefully. Lin Yuan immediately gave the highest price the Kang family could offer.
Mo Zhu recognized Lin Yuan’s voice and raised her eyebrows before continuing to increase the bid. “800 billion!”
When they heard Mo Zhu bid 800 billion, many families could not hold on any longer and gave up raising the price. They felt that they did not have the ability to compete with these large families that had a hundred years of foundation.
Lu Zheng slammed his fist on the railing of the corridor. Seeing the smugness on Mo Zhu’s face as if she had gotten the spirit herb, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted through gritted teeth, “850 billion!”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she turned her head and smiled at Lu Zheng, who was opposite her in the corridor. “Young Master Lu is indeed rich. I’m impressed..”
