Xiatian hadn't seen her since the last time he left the open-minded girl. He didn't expect to see her here.
Seeing Xiatian, Zeng Rou was puzzled. "Do you know her?"
"Yes." Xiatian nodded.
"Little gangster, you seem to know all the beauties in the world." Zeng Rou poked Xiatian's head with her finger.
"Hello, everyone. I'm the host of this charity auction, Gongsun Ping." Gongsun Ping's voice was very pleasant to the ears. All the men present were captivated by her beauty and perfect figure.
100% of the men present were attracted to her.
"We will donate 40% of the proceeds from this charity auction to the poverty-stricken areas. Don't worry, the donation will be supervised by the government." Gongsun Ping explained the purpose of the auction.
"I won't waste your time. Let's bid for the first item." Two beauties in cheongsams brought the first item up.
It was a painting.
"Legend has it that this was the work of Ma Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Ma Liang had the ability to add the finishing touch. However, this was a copy made by a famous artist in the Ming Dynasty. It's exactly the same as Ma Liang's." Gongsun Ping explained the origin of the item. Then, it was time for the boring bidding.
Xiatian didn't pay attention to the bidders. Instead, he stared at Gongsun Ping. It was as if he would suffer a loss if he didn't look at her.
Zeng Rou stretched out her hand a few times. However, she didn't get the item in the end.
On the other hand, Wang Nianlin and the other two frequently bid and bought a lot of good things. However, their prices weren't low at all.
For the Four Princes of Jianghai, this was also a place for them to stabilize their reputation. If they didn't bid in this place, they would be looked down upon. Then, their reputation as the Four Princes of Jianghai would be ruined.
"One million. I'll take it." Hu Fangye spent one million to buy a plate.
"Then, let's congratulate Young Master Hu for getting this blue and white porcelain." Gongsun Ping knocked the small hammer three times.
"Young Master Hu is so generous."
"As expected of Young Master Hu."
"The blue and white porcelain belongs to you in the end."
The surrounding people praised him. This also made Young Master Hu start to feel complacent. He liked this feeling. Others were looking at him with envy and admiration.
It didn't matter what they bought at the auction. What mattered was money. If you had more money, you would gain the respect of others and your words would be more powerful. Which rich people here didn't like to make friends with richer people?
For the next few times, Wen Zhaohua and Wang Nianlin also frequently bid. The three of them never raised the price with each other.
The meeting went on for an hour.
"Congratulations to everyone who has won a treasure. The most interesting part of today's auction is about to begin. Furthermore, I can guarantee that there will definitely be a treasure in today's blind auction." When Gongsun Ping mentioned a treasure, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What kind of treasure is it?" Someone on the stage began to shout.
"Since everyone wants to know what kind of treasure it is, I will tell everyone. Everyone should have heard of Mister Ma Yuanyi's name, right?" Gongsun Ping said calmly.
Whoosh!
When they heard Ma Yuanyi's name, there was an uproar in the room.
"Sister Rou, who is that Ma Yuanyi?" Xiatian couldn't help but Asked when he saw the reaction of the crowd.
"Ma Yuanyi is a legend. He should be 128 years old this year. He is an alchemy master. It is said that the pills he refines can prolong one's life." Zeng Rou explained.
"It's not a rumor. It's true." Yang Yun smiled slightly.
"Oh?" Xiatian looked at Yang Yun in confusion.
"My grandfather ate a pill refined by him. Although it can't be said to be able to bring him back to life, it has increased his lifespan by two years. Two years ago, my grandfather was already terminally ill." Yang Yun explained.
A pill that could prolong one's lifespan.
Xiatian didn't expect that such a miraculous thing existed in this world. Then this pill must be a priceless treasure. How could it be taken out for auction?
"If this kind of pill is taken out for auction, wouldn't it be priceless?" Xiatian Asked.
"This kind of pill has restrictions. First of all, a person can't take it a second time. Otherwise, they will die without a doubt. Secondly, women can't take it, otherwise they will die without a doubt." Yang Yun was very familiar with this pill.
"How much can this kind of pill be sold for?" Xiatian Asked again.
"It depends on whether you meet someone who needs it urgently. If you meet someone who needs it urgently, then someone will buy it for a hundred million. If everyone is not in a hurry to buy this thing, then you can buy it for five to ten million." Yang Yun patiently explained to Xiatian.
"Although this kind of pill is very precious, Mr. Ma Yuanyi will take out a few pills to auction every year. So now, people who need it have already bought it." Zeng Rou explained.
"That's interesting." Xiatian smiled slightly.
The blind auction finally began. Xiatian was also interested. However, he knew that the three over there would definitely not let him buy the good stuff so easily. So, he planned to have a good time with them.
"Next, let's auction the first item. Is it a good thing or not?" Or is it worthless? "Gongsun Ping smiled faintly, evoking everyone's fantasies.
Under normal circumstances, the first item in a blind auction would definitely not be bad. Otherwise, people might lose interest in the blind auction. In that case, it would be difficult for the price of the following items to rise.
Xiatian looked directly at the box below with his X-Ray Vision.
"So it's a diamond ring. This kind of thing is being auctioned. I can play with those three guys first." Xiatian thought to himself. Then, he directly raised the board on the table. "Two hundred thousand."
Zeng Rou and Yang Yun were stunned when they saw Xiatian raise the board. From the beginning until now, Xiatian didn't seem to be interested in the auction. They didn't expect him to bid for the first item in a blind auction.
"What do you want? Just name your price. I have money," Zeng Rou said in a low voice.
"I have money." Xiatian smiled slightly.
Zeng Rou was very confused when she heard Xiatian say that he had money. She really didn't know where Xiatian had gotten the money.
"You want to take the first item for two hundred thousand? What a joke. Poor people are poor. I'll pay one million," Wang Nianlin said disdainfully. He raised the price to one million at once.
Everyone fell silent when they heard the price. After all, it was a blind auction. It wasn't wise to spend one million at the beginning. No matter how rich someone was, they didn't want to waste their money.
"I'm poor. I'll pay one million and one," Xiatian said loudly.
"I'm sorry, sir. The minimum increase is one thousand." Gongsun Ping was too far away from Xiatian to see Xiatian's face clearly, but she still knew that he was a gentleman.
