House Kang and His Grandson
In a hotel near the Yanjing auction site, Doctor Kang sat on the sofa, sulking. He'd spent 430 million on a Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, but Liu Tianyi and Haitian had only spent 280 million!
Wasn't the difference a little too big? But there was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to make such a mistake? He thought that when the first Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing was auctioned, it would be Liu Tianyi and Fatty Lai bidding randomly. The second Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing would be cheaper!
It wasn't that Doctor Kang was being ridiculous, but this was the usual situation in auctions! It was the same for his family's Golden Creation. In the beginning, it could be sold for 500,000, but in the end, it could only be sold for 300,000 to 400,000.
Who would've thought that the second Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing would be won by someone from House Yu, and the price was also 280 million! This made Doctor Kang a little anxious. He knew that the pill was indeed worth this price! However, he didn't dare compete with House Yu. After all, whether or not his family could be recognized as a noble house depended on House Yu!
And so, Doctor Kang could only wait for the third Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. Unfortunately, Fatty Lai had also set his sights on the third Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. He actually bid 400 million for it! This made Doctor Kang want to vomit blood, but there was nothing he could do!
In the end, when he thought about the value of each Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing and the long-term benefits it could bring to the family, Doctor Kang had no choice but to spend 430 million to buy the last Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing. If they could really figure out the components of the pill, it would bring great benefits to the family!
430 million was practically all of House Kang's liquid funds! House Kang's liquid funds were only around 500 million, and they'd used up more than 80% of it!
Fortunately, there was an item to be auctioned tomorrow. If they could get it, it would bring them an unexpected amount of profit! Thinking of this, Doctor Kang felt a little comforted.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Doctor Kang frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"Grandpa, it's me, Zhaolong!" Zhaolong rushed back to the hotel. He wanted to tell his grandpa about how he befriended House Wu today.
"Come in! The door isn't locked. "Doctor Kang let him in as soon as he heard it was Zhaolong.
Zhaolong walked in and closed the door behind him, locking it from the inside.
"Why did you lock the door?" Doctor Kang was puzzled.
"Grandpa, I have something important to tell you!" Zhaolong lowered his voice and walked quickly to Doctor Kang's side, sitting on the sofa beside him.
"Something big? What is it? "Doctor Kang asked.
"Today, I've successfully befriended Wu Chentian from House Wu!" Zhaolong told Miracle Doctor Kang everything that happened today, including how he met Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao, and how he helped Chentian take pictures. He didn't leave out any of it.
Doctor Kang listened to Zhaolong and fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded. "Zhaolong, you did well! Fifteen million, it was worth it to spend it! With Chentian's flamboyant personality, you'll be able to use this to build a good relationship with him! "
"Yeah, grandpa. With House Wu's help, can we start thinking about becoming a noble house?" Zhaolong asked carefully.
"Becoming a noble house …" Doctor Kang took a deep breath and looked at his grandson, surprised. He didn't expect his grandson to be even more ambitious than he was. He'd just befriended House Wu, and now he was thinking about becoming a noble house?
"House Wu has a very special position among the noble houses. If Gonggao were to speak up and support us, no one would object. Even House Yu would have to think about the weight of a Mystic!" Zhaolong continued. "My relationship with Chentian right now is just a relationship of benefits. I paid for him, and he's grateful to me now. He's willing to help me with some things, but I'm afraid that he'll forget about it as time goes by! We might as well strike the iron while it's hot and make it work! "
"What you said makes sense!" Doctor Kang nodded. "If I didn't finish reading the catalog for tomorrow, I'd have to seriously consider your suggestion! But now, we can really give it a try! "
"Oh? Catalog? Is there anything in the catalog that's beneficial to House Kang? "Zhaolong paused.
"Yes! And it's very beneficial! " Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. "Our family's Golden Creation actually has more effects than just this. It can also remove old scars on the skin, giving the skin a brand new look!"
"I know that, but isn't there an ingredient that's very rare?" Zhaolong was in charge of House Kang's laboratory, so he knew a thing or two about Golden Creation.
"That's right! But it's in the auction tomorrow! "Miracle Doctor Kang said as he pointed at the catalog in his hand.
"Oh?" Zhaolong paused. He quickly took the catalog from his grandpa and flipped it open. He was shocked. "Millenium Snow Lotus? Is there really such a thing? "
"Of course! This kind of herb must have been appraised before it could be sold in an auction like this. Otherwise, it'd be bad for House Yu's reputation if there's a fake one! "Miracle Doctor Kang said." We must have this thousand-year-old snow lotus! "Miracle Doctor Kang continued.
"But, grandpa, even if we manage to make this Golden Creation, what does it have to do with fighting for the position of a noble house?" Zhaolong paused. He couldn't understand the connection between the two.
"A medicine that removes scars naturally can't compare to the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, but it's still a miraculous medicine!" Doctor Kang smiled. "As long as we use it well, it'll be very beneficial to our house!"
"Oh? Grandpa, you're saying that we should use this Golden Creation for public relations? " Zhaolong naturally understood what his grandpa meant. He just couldn't figure out what this special Golden Creation could do.
