Chapter 31 - Rejuvenation Pills

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xuan’s heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that his father had come here to bid for this Rejuvenation Pill so that he could become a warrior, even though his family did not have such a massive sum of money. It was hard to say how much hardship Ye Zhenxiang had endured saving the money required for this bidding.

Ye Xuan had initially just wanted to watch the show. Still, now, in order not to embarrass his father, he hurriedly raised his right hand. “One hundred million.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

Everyone was stunned. Looking at Ye Xuan, who had put down his hand, their eyes were dull.

They looked at the unfamiliar face, their eyes full of doubt.

Ye Xuan’s voice also attracted the attention of the Ye brothers. Fortunately, Ye Xuan had changed his appearance and was not recognized.

“Who is this person? He bid one hundred million?”

“How rich!”

“He doesn’t look familiar. He doesn’t seem like a local Young Master.”

The female auctioneer on the stage was also shocked. After a moment, she returned to her senses and revealed an excited smile. The higher the value of the auction item, the higher the commission she would receive.

“The bid is now 100 million. Would anyone come up with a higher amount?”

Everyone fell into silence. No one spoke. This price was already sky-high. Who else could raise the bid?

They could not spend 100 million yuan just for a pill.

Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer to complete the transaction, another voice suddenly sounded.

“I bid 200 million.”

Everyone was shocked once again when they heard this. They looked towards the direction of the voice. They saw a man dressed luxuriously with a noble aura gently lowering his raised arm.

“That’s the Young Master of the Han family, Han Longshi.”

“It’s no surprise. He is so rich and powerful. The Han family is the local leader of Suzhou City.”

“Young Master Han is here to bid for the Rejuvenation Pill. It seems that he is planning to win over the warriors again. The Han family has recruited a lot of warriors as it is.”

Ye Xuan frowned. Although he did not value the Rejuvenation Pill, there was actually someone competing with him. Naturally, he could not give up just like that.

The next moment, Ye Xuan said directly, “I bid 500 million.”

Everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. They were all stunned. Someone actually bid 500 million for the Rejuvenation Pill that was only worth tens of millions?

Han Longshi’s eyes flashed with killing intent. In Suzhou City, his Han family’s wealth could be said to cover the sky. Yet, this unfamiliar young man actually dared to bid against him. He must be asking for trouble.

Lin Ruoshi, who was beside Ye Xuan, was even more stunned. Although she knew that Ye Xuan was rich, directly bidding 500 million was too shocking.

The auctioneer on the stage was also stunned for a long time before she said, “500 million! Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?”

This time, everyone kept quiet. Han Longshi’s face was also livid.

Only then did the auctioneer drop the hammer. “Rejuvenation Pill, sold for 500 million.”

Then, a cunning look flashed across her eyes. She said with a smile, “Now, let’s begin the auction for the next item. It’s another Rejuvenation Pill! The starting price is 10 million.”

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect there to be a second Rejuvenation Pill.

Han Longshi looked at Ye Xuan with a sneer, full of mockery.

Ye Zhenxiang, who was far away, was also slightly stunned. He thought that he had no luck with the Rejuvenation Pill, but he did not expect another one. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

The auction began again.

Everyone began to bid crazily, but Ye Xuan did not say anything and just waited.

The second Rejuvenation Pill was instantly bid up to 50 million. Ye Zhenxiang bid several times, and Ye Zhenwen did too, but in the end, it was won by Han Longshi for 120 million. Although it could not be compared to the sky-high price of 500 million, it was still an expensive amount.

However, just as the auctioneer announced the deal, the staff brought up another Rejuvenation Pill.

Everyone’s expression changed again and again, and their eyes widened. How many Rejuvenation Pills were there?

Ye Xuan also turned his head to look at Wu Hongniang. Wu Hongniang smiled awkwardly and said, “Master, there are four Rejuvenation Pills in total.”

Ye Xuan did not say anything.

The auctioneer announced the start of the auction again. Ye Zhenxiang gritted his teeth and shouted, “I bid 80 million.”

Immediately, the crowd who wanted to bid was shocked. After seeing the first two pills, everyone understood that the value of these pills was now in the hundreds of millions. There were probably more than just these three Rejuvenation Pills at the auction. After these prominent families bought them, the price would drop.

Thinking of this, everyone stopped bidding.

In the end, the third Rejuvenation Pill was sold for 80 million yuan, which made Ye Zhenxiang so happy that he could not close his mouth.

When the guests saw Ye Zhenxiang’s delight, they all started to ridicule him. When everyone knew that more than one Rejuvenation Pill was in the auction house, they realized it was stupid to rush to bid so high. The price would definitely be lower in the future. Hence they were not in a hurry to bid. Ye Zhenwen also thought so, so he did not bid either.

As the third pill was auctioned off by Ye Zhenxiang, the auctioneer took out another Rejuvenation Pill. When the guests saw this, they looked at Ye Zhenxiang mockingly.

“This Rejuvenation Pill will be the last one. The starting price is thirty million.”

The auctioneer’s words immediately caused a commotion among the crowd. Ye Zhenwen’s face was also gloomy. He did not expect this to be the last one.

The last Rejuvenation Pill was instantly raised to the price of 100 million. Everyone was constantly regretting it. Ye Zhenxiang seemed stupid earlier, but he turned out to be the luckiest person.

The final Rejuvenation Pill was bought by Ye Zhenwen at 130 million. When he saw the falling hammer, Ye Zhenwen heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at the proud Ye Zhenxiang and felt extremely angry.

After the last item was auctioned, the auction came to a close.

Ye Xuan stood up with Lin Ruoshi and Wu Hongniang and prepared to leave.

He had only taken two steps when he was stopped by someone.

“Young man, stop right there.”

Han Longshi’s face was gloomy as he led his people to block in front of Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan looked at him in surprise and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Upon hearing this, Han Longshi’s face was full of disdain. He said arrogantly, “Hand over the Rejuvenation Pill if you wish to leave.”

“Impudent!”

Wu Hongniang heard the other party’s arrogant words and immediately angrily roared. She did not expect that there would be someone who dared to look for trouble with her master.

Immediately, the sound of the argument attracted the attention of everyone present.

No one had expected Han Longshi to use his identity to forcefully snatch the pills. This was too overbearing. However, when they thought about the strength of the Han family, no one did not say anything.

Out of the four Rejuvenation Pills, one was taken by the Han family, two by the Ye family, and one by this strange man at a high price. It was reasonable for Han Longshi to choose to bully this unfamiliar face.

Ye Xuan waved his hand and stopped the furious Wu Hongniang. He looked at Han Longshi with a smile. 

“Who do you think you are to ask me to hand over the pills? Do you think you are worthy?”
