The bidding for the Nine Revolving Pill Furnace began with a starting bid of five hundred thousand. Someone bid six hundred thousand and soon another bid six hundred and fifty thousand. After that, no one else raised their paddle.
It was clear that everyone had the same concerns as Feng Yun.
The auctioneer was a bit embarrassed as this was completely different from the previous intense atmosphere.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand going once, are there any higher bids?"
No one answered.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand going twice."
When Tang Zheng saw this, he was secretly delighted. These people did not know what was good for them, so he had profited.
"Six hundred and sixty thousand." Tang Zheng raised his paddle.
The auctioneer raised his eyebrows and said, "Six hundred and sixty thousand, is there still a bid?"
Tang Zheng was nervous to death as he silently prayed that no one else would bid.
The handsome guy in the VIP section turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, his eyes slightly fluctuating.
"Six hundred and sixty thousand going once, six hundred and sixty thousand going twice, six hundred and sixty thousand going thrice, sold!" The auctioneer made the final call and the Nine Revolving Pill Furnace belonged to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief as the feeling of picking up a bargain was truly wonderful.
Feng Yun secretly sighed as Tang Zheng was still too young and impulsive. Feng Yong suspiciously looked at Tang Zheng and asked, "Boss, is there something special about this furnace?"
Sigh.
After interacting with Tang Zheng for a while, Feng Yong knew that Tang Zheng would not speak without thinking. Seeing him attach so much importance to this furnace, he began to have doubts in his heart.
"This furnace is useless to others, but it is very useful to me." Tang Zheng said with satisfaction.
"Boss, you're not a Daoist, could it be that you still want to refine pills?" Feng Yong had a suspicious look on his face.
Tang Zheng faintly smiled and declined to comment.
When the auction ended, Feng Yun did not make a move as if there was nothing that interested him. He was rather regretful and unwillingly said, "Let's go take a look at the trade fair and see if there are any treasures worth buying."
The trade fair was in a small hall with many stalls. It was a bit like an antique street, but a bit more advanced.
"You two go play by yourselves, remember not to run around." Feng Yun excitedly said and then went to Taobao.
"Boss, there are too many fakes here. You have to be careful."
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I'm not a rich man like you. Why would I act recklessly?"
"Boss, I'm actually a poor man. My dad is rich, but that doesn't mean I'm rich. Moreover, you were much more generous than me just now. Six hundred and sixty thousand. I've never bought anything that expensive before."
"Let's go, let's take a look around. Oh right, is there anyone selling jade here?"
"Yes, but they are all ready-made polished jade wares. There are no raw stones or the like."
"I want the finished product."
Since he had cultivated a defensive array formation, Tang Zheng naturally wanted to carve the array formation into a jade stone and give it to someone important to him.
"Little brother, you want to buy a jade artifact?" Suddenly, a person stood beside the two of them and asked with interest.
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at the person in surprise. This person was actually the handsome guy who was sitting in the VIP seat earlier.
"Yes," Tang Zheng said.
"Regarding jade artifacts, I only know a little. I can give you a little reference." The handsome guy said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then many thanks." Tang Zheng lightly said.
The smile in the handsome guy's eyes became wider and said, "I still haven't asked how I should address you?"
"My name is Tang Zheng."
"Good name." The handsome guy praised, "I'm Song Yu."
"Oh, it seems you have a lot of affinity with jade." Tang Zheng said.
"My mother is obsessed with jade, so she gave me this name." Song Yu explained.
Tang Zheng nodded. Like his name, he really was like a piece of warm jade, sparkling and translucent.
"This is my good brother Feng Yong."
"Hello." Song Yu nodded reservedly. Obviously, he didn't have much interest in Feng Yong.
The several people arrived in front of a jade artifact stall. The boss hurriedly greeted them and warmly asked, "What would you like to buy?"
"A few simple jade ornaments."
"Here are jade buckles, jade Guanyin, jade Buddha, jade bracelets, etc. What do you need?"
"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. I can buy a jade Guanyin for grandfather and a jade Buddha for Shishi. Oh right, I can also buy a jade Buddha for Ye Dingdang. After all, she is still being secretly coveted." Tang Zheng had an idea. He went straight to the point and said, "Boss, pick a jade Guanyin and two jade Buddhas for me. In addition, Feng Yong, what do you like? I'll give you one."
"Ah, give it to me?" Feng Yong was surprised. He didn't think that he would also have a share. Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't seem to be joking, he quickly said, "I'll buy it myself." He knew that Tang Zheng wasn't well off. Although he won nine hundred thousand today, he spent it quickly.
"I said I'll give it to you. Don't be long-winded."
"… … Okay, I want a jade buckle."
"Mister Song, then I'll have to trouble you to help me check." Tang Zheng didn't know anything about jade so he could only ask Song Yu for help. Song Yu faintly smiled and directly picked the corresponding jade from the counter. The boss's eyes lit up as he said, "Mister really is an expert."
"Boss, how much is the total here?" Tang Zheng asked.
"The total is four million six hundred thousand. I'll give a discount so it's four million five hundred thousand."
"What, four million five hundred thousand?" Tang Zheng was dumbstruck. This was too expensive.
Song Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light. Four million five hundred thousand in his eyes was just a small amount of money. He didn't think that Tang Zheng would have such a big reaction. When he saw him buy the pill furnace without even blinking, Song Yu thought that he was a young master from some family. It seems like he guessed wrong.
"Mister, this price is absolutely fair. This mister is an expert so he should know that we didn't give a false price." The boss pointed at Song Yu and said.
Song Yu nodded his head, acknowledging the boss's words.
Tang Zheng's face revealed a difficult expression as he said, "I only have two hundred and forty thousand. It's not even enough. Let's buy a few cheap ones."
The boss's smile didn't fade as he said, "We also have cheap ones. Two hundred and forty thousand is enough to buy four pieces of jade."
Song Yu didn't bat an eyelid as he picked out four pieces of cheap jade for Tang Zheng. After Tang Zheng paid for them, the money he won today was completely used up. He once again became poor.
"Feng Yong, leave your safety buckle with me for now. I'll give it to you two days later." Tang Zheng said.
"No problem. Boss, you can leave it for as long as you want."
Song Yu was stunned as he looked at Tang Zheng. In his heart, he was wondering why he didn't just give it to him. Why did he have to bring it back? But he didn't ask. After all, both sides weren't too familiar with each other.
"Mister Song, thank you for picking out the jade for me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Song Yu discovered many unusual things about Tang Zheng and said, "Why don't we eat together?"
"No need. If fate wills it, we'll meet again." Tang Zheng indifferently looked at the distant Qin Lao. His eyes shrunk as he left with Feng Yong.
Qin Lao stood in front of Song Yu and asked, "Young master, did you see anything?"
"He's a bit special. But as for what it is, I can't say." Song Yu suspiciously said.
"This youngster is very interesting. Young master, you definitely won't be able to guess where he came from."
"Oh, which family's young master is he?" Song Yu curiously asked.
Qin Lao smiled as he shook his head and said, "No, he's just an ordinary person. He's not from any family. Today he was brought in by the little brat beside him."
"Ordinary person?" Song Yu was shocked. From Tang Zheng's temperament and style, he didn't seem to be from an ordinary family.
Qin Lao saw the doubt in Song Yu's heart and said, "He's indeed a bit strange. But no matter how strange he is, he's just an ordinary person. He's not a martial artist. Why does young master value him so much?"
Song Yu muttered, "There must be a demon behind this abnormality. Moreover, I have a strong premonition that he and I will definitely meet again."
Qin Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Young master was young and impetuous. Sometimes his thoughts were too unconstrained. He came to the Ordinary Balance for important matters. How could he have any interactions with Tang Zheng?
… …
On the way back, Tang Zheng kept recalling Qin Lao's appearance. Others didn't notice Qin Lao's peculiarity, but Tian Chanzi saw it clearly. Qin Lao was actually a Fifth Grade Postcelestial Stage expert.
"Uncle Feng, do you know who Song Yu is sitting in the VIP seats today?" Tang Zheng curiously asked.
Feng Yun was stunned and said, "He's called Song Yu?"
Feng Yong hurriedly said, "Yes, he said it himself."
Feng Yun pondered for a moment and said, "The owner of the Ordinary Balance Courtyard is also surnamed Song. Could it be that this Song Yu is a member of the Song family?"
"Is the Song family very powerful?" Tang Zheng asked.
Feng Yun nodded and solemnly said, "The Song Family can't simply be described as powerful. This family not only has an extraordinary image in the business world, but also in the political and military world. It's like a super aircraft carrier."
"So powerful." Tang Zheng couldn't help but be speechless.
Feng Yong also opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "No wonder the Ordinary Balance Courtyard is still standing. So the boss is so powerful. Boss, just now Song Yu wanted to treat you to a meal. Why did you refuse?"
Tang Zheng lightly said, "I'm not familiar with him."
Feng Yun looked at Tang Zheng in shock. He actually made Song Yu take the initiative to invite him. This honor was really amazing. Feng Yun couldn't help but secretly sigh and thought, "This Tang Zheng is definitely not a fish in a pond. In the future he will definitely soar to the sky. Little Yong being on good terms with him may be a great opportunity for the Feng family."
At this moment, Feng Yun's impression of Tang Zheng underwent a huge change.
"The Song family's roots are in Beijing. The Ordinary Balance Courtyard is only an insignificant property of the Song family. However, the Song family rarely comes to the Ordinary Balance. Why did this Song Yu come to the Ordinary Balance?" Feng Yun doubtfully muttered to himself.
"Dad, why do you care about this. No matter how powerful the Song family is, it has nothing to do with us." Feng Yong said.
Feng Yun shook his head and didn't say anything. How could Feng Yong understand his good intentions? If he could form a connection with the Song family, then his company would experience a qualitative leap.
"Little Tang, since Song Yu doesn't have any ill intentions, if there is a chance, you can try to get in touch with her." Feng Yun said. If Tang Zheng was able to obtain the appreciation of the Song family, then for Tang Zheng it would definitely be a great thing.
Tang Zheng declined to comment. Right now he and Song Yu were people from two different worlds. There was no need to think too much about the relationship between the two. His top priority was to engrave the formation into the jade artifact he bought.
