Chapter 54: A Broken Branch!

Translator: Atlas Studios i Editor: Atlas Studios

Others might not be able to tell what it was, but how could Yang Luo not?

This broken tree branch was the last medicinal herb he was looking for, the Purple Dragon Root!

Therefore, he had to win the bidding no matter what!

As long as he bought it, he could start refining the Spirit Gathering Pill!

Of course, although he was excited, his expression did not change at all.

It would be best if no one bid for it. He could use the lowest price to bid for the Purple Dragon Root

At this moment, even the female auctioneer was in a difficult position.

However, she still braced herself and explained, “Dear guests, please calm down and listen to me.

This item was not a tree branch, but a purple ginseng dug up by an old farmer from the Western Region at the foot of the Heaven Mountain. It was similar to ginseng.

“Although this Sage Herb looks ordinary, after expert appraisal, the medicinal value of this Sage Herb is extremely high. It’s at least 50 years old...”

“Come on, Sage Herb? Purple ginseng? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

“A broken tree branch can be exaggerated into ginseng? The experts nowadays really know how to make it up!”

No one bought it at all.

The female auctioneer also had a headache. She only wanted to end this round of auction as soon as possible.

Hence, she continued, ’’Now, the auction begins. The starting price is one million yuan, and each increment must not be less than ten thousand yuan!” When the female auctioneer finished speaking, the event location was silent. No one called out a bid.

There was a long silence.

Then, a bald big boss chuckled and said, “Since no one is bidding, I’ll go first!” As he spoke, he raised his sign and shouted, “One million and ten thousand!” The reason why he called out the price was not because he liked this “branch”, but because he wanted to get into the good books of the clubhouse and make them look fondly at him.

With this boss taking the lead, the other bosses also began to bid.

Their thoughts were the same. After all, a few million yuan was nothing to them.

“1.1 million!”

“1.2 million!”

“1.3 million!”

Seeing that everyone was bidding, Yang Luo did not move.

He was waiting till no one else wanted to bid. Then, he would bid at a moderate price and bid for the Purple Dragon Root in one go.

Not long after...

The price rose to two million, and no one continued to bid.

The female auctioneer glanced at everyone present and said, “Owner Zhang has bid two million. May I ask if there’s anything higher than two million?”

Chen Rongrong replied.

Qiao Yongjie said, “Lend me this 50 million yuan. I’ll return it to you later.”

Chen Rongrong panicked. ’’Brother Qiao, I can lend you the money, but don’t fight with that guy anymore.

Didn’t you realize that that guy was tricking you into buying a lot of things you didn’t need?

And now, this guy wants to trick you into buying a useless branch.”

Hearing Chen Rongrong’s words, Qiao Yongjie, who had already gotten addicted towinning Yang Luo, immediately came back to his senses.

“I understand. I won’t let this kid off!”

Qiao Yongjie glared fiercely at Yang Luo, then took a deep breath and said, “I’m here for the 200-ycar-old ginseng.

But now that I don’t have any money on hand, lend me the 50 million.”

“Alright.1‘

Chon Rongrong nodded in agreement.

After that, Qiao Yongjie borrowed some money from his other lackeys and gathered another 100 million.

At this moment, Yang Luo’s voice sounded again,”Young Master Qiao, are you still bidding?

If you still don’t bid, this item will be mine!”

Qiao Yongjie stared at Yang Luo fiercely in response, “Kid, do you really think I’m a fool? You still want to continue tricking me?

It’s just a broken tree branch. You can take it if you want!”

“Since Young Master Qiao has said so, HI accept it respectfully.”

Yang Luo smiled happily and said to the female auctioneer, “Beauty, no one is bidding anymore. Just drop the hammer!”

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the female auctioneer began to hammer. “Three million going once! Three million going twice! Three million going thrice!”

THUD!

The hammer fell!

“Congratulations, Third Madam Su, for winning the Sage Herb!”

A female attendant walked over with a purple ginseng and a POS machine.

Su Wanqiu took out a bank card from her bag and swiped it.

Yang Luo took the Sage Herb and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was instantly overjoyed.

The ingredients for refining the Spirit Gathering Pill were finally gathered.

Qiao Yongjie sneered, ‘ You’re so happy just because you bought a lousy tree branch. You’re really a bumpkin. So ignorant!”

“That’s right!”

Chon Rongrong also took over, “You spent three million yuan to buy a tree branch. Is there anyone more stupid than you?”

The others present also shook their heads one after another, feeling that Yang Luo was simply hopelessly stupid..Visit novelbin(.)com for new novels
