?48: 048: Auction 48: 048: Auction Da Han was so invested because it was his Meteorite being auctioned.

    Although he knew it had considerable value, he had hoped for more competition.

    Naturally, he felt compelled to spur on those seated next to him.

    However, no one paid him any mind, which left him quite dissatisfied.

    True enough, the final price didn’t even reach twenty million.

    After the commission, he didn’t make much profit.

    He took a big loss.

    Reportedly, someone had auctioned off a similar Meteorite a few months prior and sold it for over a hundred million—that was truly a hefty sum.

    By now, Da Han deeply regretted his predicament.

    The auction house then proceeded to auction off several rare items, but nothing Tang Feng wanted.

    Seeing that the auction was about to present the finale, Tang Feng no longer hesitated.

    He stood up and approached the auction counter, “Excuse me, is it still possible to submit an item for auction now?”

    “It’s too late,” the elder at the window said without even giving him a glance.

    “Won’t you even take a look?” Tang Feng was startled by the attitude.

    After all, business was business, and this old man was practically shooing him away.

    “Come back next week.

    The auction is almost over, and we’re not accepting any more items,” the elder said impatiently.

    “If I were the boss, I’d fire you on the spot,” Tang Feng thought of giving the elder a piece of his mind.

    Sigh, his own Mental Realm was still lacking; he couldn’t swallow even this bit of annoyance.

    With a wry smile, Tang Feng didn’t waste further words.

    He directly walked onto the stage, “Lady, I need a word with you.”

    “What!” The Lady was taken aback, and immediately, the audience erupted into an uproar.

    “We’re in the middle of an auction, what’s that kid thinking?

    Get down from there now.”

    “Young master, please leave the stage.

    Considering this is your first offense, our auction house will let it go,” the elder beside her said sternly.

    “Elder, you’re busy.

    Lady, let’s have a chat over here, it’s good news,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    “Are you sure you’re not here to cause trouble?” The Lady looked at Tang Feng and seeing his calm demeanor, she nodded to herself, thinking it couldn’t hurt to see what he wanted.

    “Uncle Liu, take over for me for a moment, I’ll be right back.” The woman led Tang Feng backstage then immediately changed to a serious expression and laughed, “Kid, if you don’t have a good reason, I won’t be so cordial.”

    “Of course not, Lady.

    I have something I’d like to auction, but the old man at the counter wouldn’t take it, so I had to find you,” Tang Feng said, taking out a small porcelain bottle.

    “Oh, if Elder Hong wouldn’t accept it, what makes you think I would?” the woman chuckled.

    “You will, definitely, because he didn’t take a look.”

    “Oh!” The woman took it and opened the cap, her eyes widening in shock as she stared at Tang Feng.

    “Are these Elixirs?” Being from a prominent family, she naturally knew what Elixirs were.

    “Correct.”

    “They can be auctioned off, right?” Tang Feng asked.

    “They can, most definitely.

    My apologies for the oversight, young man.

    Take a seat, and I’ll auction these off in a bit,” the woman said.

    “Thank you very much,” Tang Feng smiled.

    “Hold on!

    Take this card,” she said, handing Tang Feng a dark black card.

    “Thanks.” Tang Feng returned to his seat.

    After Tang Feng left, she lost her composure.

    Elixirs were something only Cultivators would possess.

    She had to establish a connection and find out more; she hadn’t realized such a powerful figure lay hidden within the city.

    Collecting herself, she returned to the stage, where the last item was being auctioned off at that moment.

    A millennium-old Ginseng King.

    In today’s market, it was worth a fortune; even a hundred-year-old Ginseng King was hard to come by.

    It eventually sold for two hundred million.

    This left people utterly astounded.

    Tang Feng could only be speechless, thinking back to the past when medicinal herbs of ten thousand, even a million years were common—it was truly a helpless situation.

    The heavy hitter came next, a bottle of Returning Origin Pills, ten pills in total, and top grade at that.

    Everyone, get ready.

    No sooner had the woman’s words fallen than the hall fell dead silent.

    “Did we hear that right, Returning Origin Pills?”

    However, most people had no idea what Returning Origin Pills were.

    The woman explained further, “I believe some guests have never heard of them, no worries, let me introduce them.

    The benefit of Returning Origin Pills is they allow Martial Artists to recover all their Inner Strength in an extremely short time.

    This should give everyone an idea of their value.”

    “Really?

    Is that true?”

    “Our auction house never sells fakes, otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to stay in business this long, so please, do not have doubts.

    Alright, the auction begins now with a starting bid of ten million,” the woman finished, and the bidding started below.

    If the Returning Origin Pill is truly that effective, it’s like having several extra lives to spare.

    Imagine in a fight where both sides are equally matched and have the same consumption of resources, what would the outcome be if one side had a Returning Origin Pill?

    They would certainly be in an invincible position.

    This is something money can’t buy.

    Tang Feng never expected a mere bottle of Returning Origin Pills to sell for over three hundred million; the cost price was less than a thousand yuan, which made him roll his eyes.

    The greatest gain for Tang Feng at the auction was an additional three hundred million, immediately transforming him from a poor man to a wealthy one.

    “Little brother, give me your card number, and I’ll transfer the money over to you.” Her service was exceptionally enthusiastic special treatment.

    “Thank you,” Tang Feng was not shy in accepting.

    “If you have any more elixirs in the future, you can bring them to me; I will definitely get you a good price,” the woman said.

    “Thank you!”

    “Don’t mention it.

    By the way, are you free?

    Let’s go grab something to eat,” she asked with anticipation.

    “I’m sorry, some other time.

    I have some things to take care of right now.”

    “Alright then, give me your phone.” After Lin Xinyin added her name to her phone, she handed it back to Tang Feng.

    “Remember to answer the calls, okay?”

    “Okay, then I’ll be going first.” Tang Feng really wanted to chat with her, but since it was a matter of integrity to visit Lin Xinyin’s place, he had to go.

    After Tang Feng left, Lin Xinyin immediately made a phone call.

    After hanging up, a smile appeared on her face.

    Who knows what plans she was making.

    Tang Feng drove directly to Lin Xinyin’s house.

    She hadn’t finished her classes at this time, and he happened to see Zou Mei keeping busy with all the ingredients prepared on the top of the car for making spicy hot pot.

    Watching her busy figure, Tang Feng felt solemn inside.

    This is what a woman is like, working tirelessly and without complaint for her family.

    “Aunt Zou, why put yourself through this hardship?” Tang Feng went over and immediately stopped her from continuing her work.

    “Xiao Feng, I’m fine,” Zou Mei said busily.

    “How can you be fine?

    I am a doctor, and even I don’t understand it as well as you do.

    Your illness is very serious, and without a week of continuous treatment, it’s very hard to recover completely.

    Rest is the most important thing for you right now,” Tang Feng earnestly said.

    “I’m just going to set up a stall to sell some spicy soup; it’s not hard,” Zou Mei was moved, feeling that Tang Feng genuinely cared for her.

    “I don’t agree.

    If you insist on setting up a stall, then I’ll do it, and you should rest at home,” Tang Feng said.

    “How could I let you do that?

    You’re a lifesaver to our family; absolutely not,” she refused.

    “Since I’m a lifesaver, you should listen even more.

    Xinyin wouldn’t want you to get hurt, and neither do I, understand?” Tang Feng said seriously.

    “Oh, I understand.” It had been many years since a man had spoken to her so sternly, and Zou Mei felt a warm wave in her heart and was indescribably moved.

    “Be good, and let me treat you.” Tang Feng sat down nearby.

    Zou Mei obediently took a seat opposite him, yet at this moment, she felt a bit nervous.

    “You don’t need to be this nervous,” Tang Feng began her treatment.

    “It hurts a little!”

    Even though Zou Mei was prepared, she couldn’t help but wince, turning her head away as her entire face turned pale.

    “It’s alright; it’ll be over soon.”

    After hearing Tang Feng’s words, she closed her eyes, and the sensation from the last time emerged once again.

    Tang Feng, seeing she wasn’t in any serious trouble, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, as it seemed she was recovering faster than he had expected.

    Zou Mei felt much more refreshed and her spirits were greatly lifted.

    “Aunt Zou, how do you feel?”

    “Very, very good.

    I’ll go inside for a bit,” Zou Mei got up and left; Tang Feng was a bit puzzled.

    He could only chuckle wryly, he wasn’t that scary, was he?
