The instant the curtain was opened, the stem of the Immortal Grass emitted a green light. A green light that contained a white halo immediately bloomed. The unique fragrance of the plants spread out and seeped into the noses of everyone present.

Even the entire Ying Xian House was enveloped by this leisurely and clear fragrance.

More than a thousand pairs of eyes opened wide in that instant, their gazes gathering on the extraordinary stem and leaves of the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass.

This was the natural material that the empress of the god race had carefully cultivated.

Just by looking at its unique appearance and its aura that was untainted by the mundane world, the immortal grass truly lived up to its name.

"What a good Poria Cocos Immortal Grass!"

Mayor Lian's eyes lit up shockingly as he looked at Patriarch Zhen and sighed, "Brother Zhen, no wonder you treat it as your life. If I did not personally see it, I would never have imagined that there would be such an extraordinary Immortal plant in this world. "

"Brother Lian smiled. Poria Cocos Immortal Grass had been passed down from its ancestors for thousands of years. If it wasn't extraordinary, how could it have been passed down throughout the ages? "

"If that's the case, then why did Brother Zhen give up the auction in public and make it so popular?"

However, when they saw that the Zhen family's expression was instantly covered with frost, they kept their mouths shut. It was obvious that they were unwilling to be strangers.

Even the mayor was not discouraged. He changed the topic and laughed, "It's alright. Since Brother Zhen is unwilling to say, I won't ask."

"Brother Lian misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know where to start. "

"Since you don't know where to start, then don't say anymore. I believe that Brother Zhen also understands that I have come here today to take a look at the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass. "If possible, I am willing to pay a high price for it."

"Brother Lian truly loves me so much."

Patriarch Zhen obviously didn't want to chat with this old fellow who didn't seem the same on the surface.

Ye Zichen waved towards a servant beside him, "Go and serve this old man a cup of Spirit Calming Tea."

Saying that, he rubbed his temples again, and said tiredly to City Lord Lian: "This is truly embarrassing for Brother Lian. He had been very tired recently, and last night he had been unable to sleep. If it were not for the fact that this auction would be held in person, I would not have come here. "

These words were obviously meant to send him off.

How could the Mayor not know?

However, he continued to laugh and stroke his beard, pretending to be concerned about the Patriarch Zhen's servant, "The deceased are already dead, and are now in great distress. Brother Zhen is already very old, and can't take any more excitement, so all of you have to take care of him, and comfort him well.

"Since Brother Zhen is tired, let's rest more. I won't bother you any more. "

Then, he asked Qu Yi: "Have you arranged our private rooms?"

"Reporting to City Lord, the arrangements have been made. You can go now. "

"Since it's settled, why didn't you remind me?" It caused me to linger on Patriarch Zhen for too long, and disturbed his peace and quiet. "

"Please calm your anger, City Lord." "It's because this official was too preoccupied with his worries."

Qu Yi immediately bowed in apology.

He glared at Qu Yi, but recovered his smile after turning his head, "Brother Zhen, take a look, this is not working well."

"Look at what you're saying. It was as if he wasn't good enough to entertain his brother. If Brother Lian is willing, there's no harm in staying here for a while longer. "

"Thank you Brother Zhen for your kind intentions." Since the Poria Cocos Spirit Grass is already auctioned, I will also go back and prepare. "Farewell, I will come again in the future if I have the chance."

"If that's the case …" "Ah Nu, see our guest out."

"Yes." City Lord Lian, after you. "

The manservant bowed and knelt before him before opening the door. He was very courteous.

Before leaving, Mayor Lian glanced at Zhou Guangfu, "Follow Patriarch Zhen well, you must take good care of your master. Don't lose face for the City Lord's Mansion. "

"Yes." This official, oh no! This old servant will definitely listen to the City Lord's teachings. "

Waiting until Mayor Lian and his group left, Patriarch Zhen looked at Zhou Guangfu, waved his hand, and said: "This is none of your business. You too. After you leave, someone will take you to your house. There will be a series of matters that will be taken care of later. "

"Yes." "Then the old servant will leave now."

"Go down."

Patriarch Zhen waved his hand once again in exhaustion.

After Zhou Guangfu left, the Zhen Clan's people's gaze instantly turned sharp, and coldly snorted, "Old fox!"

Don't know this "old fox"

Was these three words talking about City Lord Lian or Zhou Guangfu.

When the attendant at the side saw the terrifying expression on the Patriarch's face, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say a single word.

On the auction stage, where the eyes gathered, the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass emitted a unique glow.

"The starting bid is 10 million gold. "The bid increase must not be lower than one million gold."

10 million gold.

This was still the starting price.

Such a high price was something that ordinary aristocratic families could not match.

Therefore, when the price was announced, those aristocratic families with weak foundations could only sigh.

When Shang Zifeng heard the price, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Tens of thousands of red stallions whizzed past in his mind.

What was going on!

Gold?

Putting aside the fact that the starting bid was outrageously high, even the increase in the bidding price was enough to make people's eyes pop out.

Fortunately, he was already prepared for this. A pawn was charging at him from the front.

Otherwise, if he really relied on his own financial resources, forget about this life, even in the next, he wouldn't be able to get the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass.

Listening to the faint sounds of lamenting coming from the auction and looking at the various expressions on the members of influential families.

Presumably, some forces had already prepared a "plan to take action".

Got it.

As the host's voice faded, someone shouted out, "I bid 12 million silver."

"Hehe, he must be joking. How dare he call out such a small price?!"

The teasing voice rang out, "I bid 20 million taels!"

"25 million."

"Thirty million."

In a short period of time, as far as the eye could see, there were people bidding.

However, Shang Zifeng noticed that there were some people who did not call out another bid after bidding. Some people even raised the bid by just one million silver, as if it was just a formality.

In next to no time, as time passed, the number of people bidding grew fewer and fewer. Only two or three people in luxurious rooms remained to compete.

At the same time, the price of the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass had also skyrocketed to the high price of sixty-five million gold taels.

However, from start to finish, Huangfu Zhazha had not called out a single bid from his private box.

This made Shang Zifeng a little surprised.

With Huangfu Zhazha's character of showing off and fighting for face, how could he give up on others in this kind of situation?

"65 million gold, is there anyone else bidding?"

"65 million going once."

"Six million and five hundred thousand."

When the host is about to drop the hammer and say "sixty-five million two or three times."

Finally, an experienced and powerful voice was heard from the luxurious private room on the third floor.

"Eighty million silver."

This sound was obviously made with inner strength.

His voice wasn't loud, but it pierced the eardrums of everyone in Ying Xian House.

It made those who did not have any martial power tremble in fear.

Patriarch Zhen knew this voice.

His eyes slightly closed as he lightly tapped the table with his fingers. A crafty smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth as he muttered: "Brother Lian, you still made your move in the end."

It suddenly increased by fifteen million gold.

This was already a sky-high price.

To put it bluntly, he had more than enough money to buy a prefecture.

Even if they were rich and well-off, few people would be willing to spend so much money to buy an unknown Immortal grass.

Even though there was only one Poria Cocos Immortal Grass in the world and it was rare, but rumors said that it was the only one.

Even though it was said that Poria Cocos Immortal Grass could revive the dead, no one had ever seen it before.

No one had ever tried.

Because once it was used, the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass would turn into nothingness.

Because of this, the knowledge of it is limited to hearsay.

The reason why so many people wanted to obtain the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass was because too many people wanted to obtain it.

To obtain something that others wanted, but could not obtain, was also out of the will of those who were in a position of power.

Also, for cultivators, as long as they reached a certain level of cultivation, they could live for hundreds of years without a problem.

However, as the proverb goes, the end of your lifespan and the will of the heavens have arrived.

Poria Cocos Immortal Grass was of no help to those who had reached the end of their lifespan.

This dispelled some of their desires.
