Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Unexpected Harvest

"Mister, this century-old python is of utmost importance to us. I hope you can let us have it..."

The woman in the green dress suddenly said this to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong frowned slightly, "This is an auction, the highest bidder wins. If you want it, just bid a higher price!"

The woman in the green dress felt angry upon hearing Lin Dong’s unyielding words.

Back in the Capital City, nobody dared to disrespect her like this.

"Fine, I’ll remember you!"

The woman in the green dress gave a cold snort, preparing to bid higher.

However, at that moment, the Mister Shuijing beside her softly said to her:

"Miss, it’s already over three hundred million, the price is too high! Let’s let him have it for now, and we will approach him later. Once we reveal our identity, he will certainly not dare to refuse."

After hearing this, the woman in the green dress also found it reasonable.

There was no need to spend so much in vain!

Still, she was somewhat worried, "But Mister Shuijing, what if he is unwilling?"

"Unwilling? Hmph, anyone who is not a fool would dare not refuse once they hear about our Young Master’s identity," Mister Shuijing confidently said.

"Indeed." She nodded, finding the argument sensible.

Thus, Lin Dong finally acquired the century-old python for three hundred million.

Lin Dong, holding the billion-yuan card given to him by Bai Zhonglou, first went to pay the ten million deposit.

The final payment would be made after the auction ended, once the python had been killed and delivered to Lin Dong.

The century-old python, along with the large iron cage, was then moved backstage.

The auction continued.

After all, this auction was not just about selling the century-old python; there were other things too.

Such as some antiques and herbs!

However, Lin Dong wasn’t very interested in these, so he just watched all the following auctions without bidding.

There were some auctions of medicinal materials later on, but the age of those materials was not enough.

The oldest was only a few decades old!

For Lin Dong, even if he consumed these, the effects would be negligible.

So, he did not bid on them.

But as the ninth item was being auctioned, Lin Dong suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

"This is a Luminous Pearl, but alas, it carries a hint of misfortune!"

"It was excavated from an ancient tomb by tomb robbers, and after taking it out, it seems that all of them were tainted by misfortune and subsequently died under mysterious circumstances!"

"The tomb robbers’ families have also contracted strange diseases. They are now in the hospital, and lacking money to cure the sickness, they have put this Luminous Pearl up for auction!"

"However, they naturally know that such ominous objects won’t sell for much. So, the starting price is only five hundred thousand!"

Qian Fuguo narrated the origin of this Luminous Pearl.

This is the professionalism of the Qian Family Underground Auction!

While protecting the privacy of the treasures, they do not conceal information related to the life safety of the bidders.

They will always disclose it in advance!

After he finished speaking, naturally, there was a lot of discussion Below the Stage.

"This Luminous Pearl is at least worth tens of millions. It’s just that the misfortune it has attracted affects its value!"

"No matter how valuable the antique, if it can kill its owner, nobody will buy it!"

"That’s true, it’s like buying a haunted house. Seeking such a bargain never ends well."

"..."

The multitude of tycoons discussed it among themselves. Although the Luminous Pearl was indeed a rare antique of great collectible value.

But having heard that it was tainted with misfortune and had killed many people, naturally, no one made an offer!

These tycoons did not lack money, and none of them were willing to joke with their lives.

At the moment, Lin Dong activated the pupils within The Seven Orifices.

His eyes shone with a flash of golden light, immediately activating his X-Ray Ability.

His X-Ray Ability was not only simple wall penetration of vision but also allowed him to see things that common people could not.

For instance, gases!

Like the thick Negative Energy that was swirling around that Luminous Pearl at the moment.

"Such dense Negative Energy!"

Lin Dong secretly marveled in his heart, and immediately his eyes glittered brightly.

That Negative Energy, to common people, would surely lead to lethal diseases if tainted with it, likely the reason for the death of those tomb robbers!

But to Lin Dong, it was a true treasure.

That Negative Energy was infused with rich energy, comparable to a Heavenly and Earthly treasures!

If he could refine it, it would greatly enhance Lin Dong’s strength.

"Unexpectedly, apart from the century-old python, this auction has another surprise," he thought.

With that in mind, Lin Dong prepared to speak and purchase the item.

But at that very moment, another voice sounded.

"Six hundred thousand!"

The bidder was none other than the Taoist Mister Shuijing beside the woman in the green dress.

Lin Dong was also taken aback.

He hadn’t expected him to bid.

Could it be that he also saw the special attributes of that Luminous Pearl?

"One Million!"

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then bid higher.

Seeing this, Mister Shuijing slightly furrowed his brow.

He then inquired, "Young man, this Luminous Pearl is tainted with misfortune."

"You know this and yet you still want to buy it? Are you not afraid that it will bring you bad luck?"

He stared intently at Lin Dong, wondering if the kid had also noticed the Luminous Pearl’s extraordinary nature?

Was he a capable person?

Lin Dong pretended to be naively confident and said:

"I don’t believe in superstition!"

"Besides, I’m a fool with a lot of money. To me, money is just a number, not important."

"I don’t mind spending a billion to buy a python. Nor do I mind spending a billion to secure a Luminous Pearl in the end!"

Mister Shuijing’s lips twitched.

To think he had assumed this kid was a knowledgable person who saw the Luminous Pearl’s distinctiveness.

Turns out he was just a foolish kid!

The starting bid was a hundred thousand, and he was prepared to spend a billion for the Luminous Pearl!?

Forget it, he would not continue to compete with such a rich fool.

After the auction ended, he would find him then.

With that thought, Mister Shuijing stopped bidding.

And Lin Dong was able to acquire the Luminous Pearl tainted with Negative Energy for the low price of one million...
