Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Auction Begins_1

The auction hall was full to capacity, not a single seat was available. Fang Yue, in a huff, asked: "Mr. Su, are you going to take the VIP seat that Miss Lu prepared for you, or the VIP seat that I reserved?"

Seeing the hopeful look in your eyes, let’s go to your VIP seat."

After Su Chengyu finished speaking, he headed towards the VIP aisle. Fang Yue grumbled, "Narcissistic guy, who’s looking forward to it?"

Each VIP seating area had two seats, with a bid button inside. Pressing it once would raise the bid, and the big screen in the auction hall would immediately display the bid record of the corresponding VIP seating area.

In the restroom of the auction venue, Hou Keyi and Zhou Baosheng had tidied up, but a strong smell of urine still lingered on them.

Having made such a fool of herself, Hou Keyi didn’t have the nerve to return to the auction. As she left the restroom, she saw that half of Zhou Baosheng’s face was swollen, with clear finger marks visible.

"Were you hit by that jerk that Fang Yue brought?" Hou Keyi asked.

Zhou Baosheng nodded. Hou Keyi exclaimed, "You’re an 8th-rank master, how could he have hit you?"

"His strength is overwhelming, he defeated me with a single move, he must be a Martial Arts Master." Zhou Baosheng said.

"So what if he’s a Martial Arts Master? The Hou family also has experts! That dead widow Fang Yue, I don’t know where she hooked up with this jerk, making me lose face in front of everyone. If I don’t avenge this humiliation, I swear I’ll no longer be a human being."

Hou Keyi’s words were filled with anger and determination.

Today, there were too many people at the auction venue, all elite figures from Jiangyang city. Her humiliation was not just her own, but also brought disgrace to the Hou family, she wouldn’t let it go easily.

"I’m going to call my father right now, let him send high-level experts from the family over, I must publicly kill this bastard to vent my anger!"

The auction officially started at seven. It kicked off with a group of showgirls performing a dance, followed by the host announcing the start of the auction.

The first item up for auction was an antique vase, confirmed to be a Ru Kiln piece from the Song Dynasty, a tribute to the royal family. It was professionally appraised, with a starting bid of five million and a minimum bid increment of one hundred thousand.

Su Chengyu wasn’t interested in these antiques, and simply closed his eyes to rest. Also, the Ru Kiln porcelain that would normally be loved by collectors didn’t spark much of a bidding war.

Backstage of the auction, Lu Yunxi, upon seeing that the bidders weren’t very enthusiastic, said to Chen Yuanheng: "It seems that because of these three Spirit Pills, the other auction items aren’t as appealing. Everyone is probably saving money to bid for the Spirit Pills."

"This is good news! As long as these three Spirit Pills make a name for themselves, they will bring us greater profits in the future." Chen Yuanheng said satisfactorily.

During the first three auctions, Su Chengyu did not open his eyes at all. Fang Yue then asked, "Are you also saving money to bid for the Spirit Pills?"

"I’m not interested in Spirit Pills." Su Chengyu said indifferently.

"Then what do you like? You can pick an auction item, as long as the price isn’t too outrageous, I will bid for it to give it to you." Fang Yue said.

"I didn’t expect this, you’re quite the little rich girl."

Fang Yue proudly said, "My investment acumen is not bad. I have made a profit on several projects, and I have also made quite a lot of money in the stock market. I can afford to give a gift, it means I’ve returned the favor."

"Alright."

Su Chengyu didn’t bother to be polite with Fang Yue, anyway, she’s not short of money.

By the sixth item, the Blood Wind Vine, Su Chengyu, after listening to the host’s introduction, finally opened his eyes and said to Fang Yue, "I want this medicinal herb, you buy it please."

"What are you buying the medicine for? Is someone in your house sick?" Fang Yue asked.

Su Chengyu said, "You don’t need to worry about that, you just need to buy it."

A Blood Wind Vine over a hundred years old is a rarity. According to medical records, the Blood Wind Vine has excellent therapeutic effects on strokes and cardiovascular diseases. Ordinary people buying these herbs would use them as actual medicine, which is a waste.

The real benefits of Blood Wind Vine are almost impossible for ordinary people to uncover. This is one of the main ingredients for brewing the Nirvana Pill, and Su Chengyu was determined to acquire it.

The starting bid for the Blood Wind Vine was 4 million. Fang Yue didn’t rush to bid. After several rounds of bidding, the price had risen to 6.2 million. After the host asked twice, Fang Yue finally pressed the button to bid.

"VIP seat number 19 bids 6.3 million, is there anyone else who would like to place a bid?"

Hengtong Auction House is the largest auction house in Jiangdong, and their procedures are very standardized. The previous bidder added another hundred thousand.

Fang Yue continued to bid, and finally won the auction with a price of 6.7 million.

"Thanks for your expense."

Fang Yue said while scowling, "Is my life not worth 6.7 million? It isn’t even worth the 6.7 million you spent earlier to display your power and humiliate others for me."

"I’ve received your gift, so we’re even." Su Chengyu said.

"Again... still so indifferent."

Fang Yue found herself unable to figure Su Chengyu out completely. He could lend her a hand in a crisis, and could stand up to others’ mockery and humiliation for her, securing her dignity.

Fang Yue pondered to herself, "However, he seems indifferent to my goodwill. Is it because he has a family and wants to keep his distance from other women? If so, then he really is a good man!"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend?" Fang Yue asked.

"I’m divorced!" Su Chengyu answered indifferently.

"What? Divorced..." Fang Yue was taken aback, she hadn’t expected that he had been divorced, but she also let out a sigh of relief, inwardly somewhat pleased.

Fang Yue was not one to beat around the bush. She knew she had feelings for this man. After a short day of interaction, she found herself falling for him.

Such is the case with emotions, it’s mysterious. Sometimes it’s about gradually falling in love, other times it’s about love at first sight.

When the right time comes, meeting the right person can quietly steal your heart. If it’s not the right person, no amount of time can craft love.

Chen Yuanheng split the three medicinal pills for auction. After the Blood Wind Vine auction, the host announced that the next auction item would be the Spirit Yuan Pill made by cultivators.

As soon as the host finished speaking, a commotion stirred the audience, igniting the first climax of the auction.

Chen Yuanheng came out from backstage to personally oversee the auction. Standing on the stage, he displayed photos and videos of the Spirit Yuan Pill on the big screen, all while explaining its effects.

"Some of you may be wondering, why would I put such a good Spirit Pill up for auction? Let me make it clear, this Spirit Pill is not mine, it’s a consignment. I wanted to directly purchase the Spirit Pill, but the owner disagreed. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see these three Spirit Pills, I would definitely have kept them for myself."

Chen Yuanheng’s words still left some doubt. Unless the situation was clarified, people might not dare to fully engage in the bidding war. After all, it was clear to everyone that obtaining these three medicinal pills would definitely require astronomical prices.
