Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen’s ears were already ringing as the bids kept coming.

In just five minutes, the highest bid had reached 400 million.

It could be seen that most of the people had come here for the hundred-herb cauldron.

Were it not for the fact that there was an even more important item to be auctioned off later, the scene right now would have been even more chaotic.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately sent a text message to Jin Lengyan, asking her to place a bid for the hundred-herb cauldron.

Jin Lengyan, who was on-stage, saw the text message and put on an extremely sexy smile.

‘He’s finally made his move. It seems like he’s determined to get the hundred-herb cauldron. Did the alchemist behind him ask him to bid for it?’

Of course, the thought that Ye Chen was the alchemist never crossed Jin Lengyan’s mind.

Given his young age, who would believe that he could have understood and mastered alchemy?

“430 million!”

“440 million!”

The price was still increasing, but there were not many people bidding anymore.

At this level, they were all rational people who would analyze the immediate benefits.

Jin Lengyan glanced at the crowd. When she saw the person who had just placed a bid, she was briefly stunned. It was actually someone from the Jiang family.

There were only three martial arts families in River City. Other than the Jin family, the other two families were the Jiang family and the Meng family.

The one who had just placed a bid was the third young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Wenlin.

Jiang Wenlin did not have a good reputation. He was ruthless and would do anything to get what he wanted.

If Ye Chen really won the bid, there would be a big problem!

Jin Lengyan stopped thinking about it and quickly sent a text message to ye chen, informing him of the seriousness of the matter.

She had thought that ye chen would give up but she did not expect him to only reply with one word, “Bid!”

“I bought your pills for 1 billion yuan and gained a huge advantage. Forget it, I’ll help you deal with it once,” Jin Lengyan muttered.

“460 million!” Jiang Wenlin placed another bid.

Very quickly afterward, a voice rang out from the broadcast system. “An anonymous gentleman has bid 500 million.”

The entire auction venue fell silent.

Everyone had believed that the mysterious person, who had won the bid for the Tears of the Stars at such a high price, was not from the ancient martial arts world.

However, it now seemed that he was!

Was this guy crazy?

Did he have to disrupt the rhythm of this auction?

Jiang Wenlin’s cold eyes glanced around. He snorted and said, “530 million.”

Just as he finished speaking, the voice from the broadcast system spoke up again!

“An anonymous gentleman has bid 600 million.”

F*ck!

This was a f*cking troublemaker!

This guy was bidding in increments of 100 million!

The hundred-herb cauldron was worth 500 million yuan at most, yet the bids had now surpassed that price.

600 million yuan!

This *sshole!

Jiang Wenlin’s face turned livid. In his opinion, the person behind this bid was undoubtedly provoking his Jiang family!

He immediately stood up and scanned the crowd. He uttered a threat without any hesitation, “I don’t care who you are or why you’re hiding! If you dare to raise the price again, the Jiang family will definitely find you! I’ll make you regret your actions today!”

It was an outright threat!

Jiang Wenlin sat down and called out again, “610 million.”

This was his bottom line.

Suddenly, the broadcast system rang out again, “An anonymous gentleman has bid 700 million.”

The entire hall fell deathly silent.

Bang!

Jiang Wenlin slammed his palm on the table in front of him. The mahogany table in front of him was smashed into pieces. It was clear how terrifying his strength was!

This blow represented the anger of the Jiang family!

Jin Lengyan, who was on-stage, glanced at the expressionless Ye Chen and shook her head helplessly. She held up the gavel and said, “700 million, going once!”

“700 million, going twice!”

“700 million, going three times! Sold!”

Below the stage, Ye Chen clenched his fists in excitement. He had finally obtained the cauldron.

He had naturally noticed Jiang Wenlin, but while other people might be afraid of the Jiang family, Ye Chen was not!

If this Jiang Wenlin really offended him, he would not mind uprooting this so-called Jiang family entirely!

Jin Lengyan also did not want everyone to dwell on this matter, so she clapped her hands, and an old man very carefully brought a box up to the stage.

She glanced at the box and said to the audience, “My Jin family just obtained this item, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s priceless. Why don’t you all guess what it might be?”

Countless voices immediately rang out with various guesses from below the stage.

A minute later, Jin Lengyan shook her head. “Everyone is wrong.”

“Miss Jin, don’t keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us,” someone said anxiously.

Jin Lengyan smiled and opened the box. A strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the hall! She then revealed the answer.

“I, Jin Lengyan, personally appraised this item. It is an authentic medicinal pill! The starting price for this is 400 million! Each bid increment must be no less than 30 million!”

The moment she said that, more than a dozen people stood up! Their breathing quickened, and their eyes all turned to look at the pill on the stage!

Medicinal pills could not only heal injuries! They could also greatly increase one’s cultivation!

This was something that only existed in the legends of Huaxia’s martial arts world!

F*ck! Something like this had actually appeared in an auction!

They might not have believed it if someone else had announced it, but Jin Lengyan had personally verified it, so how could it be fake?

After a brief period of silence, more than a dozen people began to place their bids crazily!

The price went from 400 million to 500 million in the blink of an eye. An instant later, it had gone from 500 million to 600 million!

“Ye Chen, is that thing really worth that much money?” Xia Ruoxue was slightly surprised. This was the first time she had seen such a crazy bidding war. “Oh, I forgot that you only just came into contact with the martial arts world today…”

Ye Chen’s expression was a little strange.

It was true that the rarer something was, the more valuable it would be. He now felt that the price of the pills he sold to the Jin family was too low!

However, he did not dwell on the matter. After all, the higher the final price of this pill was, the greater the favor that the Jin family would owe him!

After an intense bidding war, the pill was finally sold for 800 million yuan.

To Ye Chen’s amusement, it was Jiang Wenlin who won the bid. He had probably asked his family for a few hundred million more yuan.

With that, the auction concluded successfully.

Next up was the banquet at the hotel.

“Ye Chen, let’s not attend the banquet. We can go back together.” Xia Ruoxue said, “Oh right, didn’t you say that you had 1 billion yuan? Why didn’t I see you bid for anything?”

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly. “Go ahead and chat with Zhu Zixuan first. I’m going to the toilet.”

Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with helplessness. “Ye Chen, are your kidneys failing? You keep having to go to the toilet so frequently… Do you have a problem down there?”

“Whether it works or not, you can experience it for yourself tonight if you’re so curious.”

With that, Ye Chen left, leaving behind a blushing Xia Ruoxue.

Room 001.

Ye Chen once again met up with Jin Lengyan.

Jin Lengyan took out a card and said seriously, “Mr. Ye, this card contains 1.5 billion yuan. 800 million is from the auction, and the remaining 700 million is from my father. Of course, the Jin family still owes you a favor. After all, we took advantage of Mr. Ye’s generosity.”

Ye Chen took the bank card from her without the slightest bit of courtesy.

“What about the hundred-herb cauldron?”

Jin Lengyan handed over a piece of paper. “Mr. Ye, for safety reasons, please write your address and phone number on this. I will send someone over to deliver it personally tonight.”

“Alright,” he said. Ye Chen wrote down his phone number and his Tomson Residences address.

“Mr. Ye, are you staying for the banquet? My father would like to invite you to dinner…”

Before Jin Lengyan could finish her words, she was turned down by Ye Chen.

“I won’t be having dinner at the hotel tonight. My friend has already prepared some food. I’m not used to eating outside.”

“Oh right, remember to send the things over on time tonight.”

Ye Chen got ready to leave after giving her his instructions.

Jin Lengyan had a confused expression on her face. Who in River City would dare to refuse her father’s invitation to dinner?

Countless martial arts experts would line up in droves for the opportunity to have dinner with her father!

Yet somehow this kid had actually turned down the invitation!

Did he really think that everything would conclude peacefully just because he won the hundred-herb cauldron?

Her father was treating him to a meal to save his life!

“Ye Chen, Ye Chen, even though you won the hundred-herb cauldron, you still need to have the qualifications to keep it! If you offended the Jiang family and don’t have the protection of a powerful force, you would be courting death. The Jin family gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it….”
