Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Thousand-Year Spirit Grass

As expected, with the painting being brought up and the auction starting, these people went crazy, frantically bidding.

million!

million!

million!

...

million!

Soon, the price soared to 48 million, breaking the previous auction record.

However, Ye Feng knew very well that this was just the beginning. In this auction, acquiring such a fine painting could not be so simple.

"55 million!" At this moment, the first batch of big shots started bidding.

"62 million!" With his opening bid, the first wave of competition truly began.

"Wow! These people are so rich, aren’t they? Can a painting really be worth that much?" Seeing the price soar past 60 million, Liu Xue marveled quietly.

Though Liu Xue once controlled much more wealth, it was never truly hers, and spending over 60 million was unthinkable for her.

"Indeed! Rich people are truly crazy." Ye Feng chuckled, nodding in agreement.

"Darling, do you like it?" Suddenly, Liu Xue looked at Ye Feng and asked with a smile.

"Why would I like this? It’s so expensive; I’d be out of my mind to spend so much money on a painting." Ye Feng shook his head, laughingly replied.

Indeed, Ye Feng pursued different things from others. He found it worthwhile to spend any amount on rare herbs and cultivation materials.

As for other things, regardless of how exquisite an antique might be, Ye Feng had no interest.

However, if those competing heard Ye Feng’s words, one wonders what they would think.

Finally, a painting by Qi Baishi was auctioned off for a sky-high price of over 80 million, purchased by a big shot in the front row.

Seeing such terrifying purchasing power, Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

If the Magical Artifacts he produced were auctioned here, they would surely sell for a great price.

This thought filled Ye Feng with regret; had he known, he would have asked Xu Hong to bring the Magical Artifacts for auction. It’s too late now.

With the first painting sold at a sky-high price and setting a good precedent, the following auction items became increasingly impressive and expensive.

Amazingly, among them were treasures Ye Feng had previously sold to Xu Hong.

For example, Li Shimin’s wine cup auctioned for a high price of 100 million.

Then, Qianlong’s seal auctioned for an astronomical 120 million.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Feng was stirred, wondering if Xu Hong had come to participate in the auction and might auction off Magical Artifacts.

If Xu Hong indeed came to auction Magical Artifacts, they could fetch several billion, given their life-saving capabilities.

As the auction drew to a close, Liu Xue, sitting beside Ye Feng, felt somewhat helpless.

Initially, she wanted to buy something for Ye Feng, but found everything more expensive than she could afford.

At this moment, someone carrying a wooden box walked onto the auction stage.

Seeing the wooden box, the auctioneer quickly opened it and excitedly introduced, "Everybody, now auctioning an extraordinary treasure, an unknown herb that has grown for at least a thousand years."

"Though it’s an unknown herb, everyone knows that herbs aged a thousand years are rare and can often reach terrifying prices."

"However, since we can’t assess its value, we’re offering it as a low-price auction item with no reserve, so feel free to bid."

As the auctioneer spoke, the wooden box was opened, revealing what seemed like grass that had grown for untold years.

No one could confirm it was an herb or ascertain its effects.

Hence, many people went to view it, but none bid, all maintaining a wait-and-see stance.

’What is this?’ Though these people didn’t understand, Ye Feng was startled upon seeing this grass.

This... was not an ordinary item but a true Spirit Grass named Spiritual Grass, able to make real elixirs - Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

Yet, these people didn’t recognize its value, treating it as worthless herbal medicine.

Even the auctioneers seemed to gamble, hoping to sell for some money.

Little did they know, such a Spirit Grass was priceless in Ye Feng’s eyes. Even at ten billion or tens of billions, he would find it very reasonable.

Indeed, the value of Spirit Revitalizing Pills far exceeds monetary comparison, as they can restore True Qi.

Imagine, during a battle, when your True Qi runs out and your opponent is poised to finish you off, you pull out a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, instantly rejuvenate, and turn the tables. How crucial is that?

No exaggeration, at times, a Spirit Revitalizing Pill can be like a life-saving divine pill.

So, without waiting for others to bid, Ye Feng raised his hand and loudly bid, "I’ll offer ten... million."

Initially, Ye Feng planned to bid one million, but after considering, he decided to give Spiritual Grass some respect, so he bid ten million.

"Ah? Honey, do you have that much money?" Startled by Ye Feng’s bid, Liu Xue nervously asked.

"Don’t worry!" Ye Feng chuckled. "I do have that amount."

"Alright!" Seeing Ye Feng so confident, Liu Xue nodded, muttering quietly, "This guy quietly turns out richer than me?"

Indeed, though Liu Xue managed the new jewelry company with some shares, the money she could personally use might not necessarily reach ten million.

Therefore, she never imagined Ye Feng could produce ten million, and for an unknown, seemingly worthless grass.

Initially, others seeing Ye Feng’s bid lit up, thinking it might be a good item, intending to compete.

But, upon noticing the bidder was Ye Feng, they abandoned such thoughts.

No one wanted to offend Ye Feng, this big shot, over an unknown item.

"Wonderful! Congratulations to this sir, purchasing a thousand-year herb for ten million." The auctioneer happily announced the winning bid.

Though they called it a thousand-year herb, they weren’t sure; otherwise, they wouldn’t sell it so cheaply.

And Ye Feng, for just ten million, secured a Thousand-Year Spirit Grass, feeling exceedingly thrilled.

With this Spirit Grass, Ye Feng could concoct a batch of Spirit Revitalizing Pills, at least a dozen, a major gain.

Initially, Ye Feng merely intended to enjoy the event, but unexpectedly, he acquired such a fine treasure.

After completing the transaction, Ye Feng received the Thousand-Year Spirit Grass, holding it lovingly in his arms, ensuring such a treasure wouldn’t be lost.

Meanwhile, the auction’s final item was brought up....
