Chapter 172 Magic Medicine
"Lu Ran, sit here."
Going upstairs, Zuo Siwen had adjusted his mentality and looked at Liu Luran with a gentle look on his face.
Liu Luran nodded, but didn't say much.
"Luran, what does that classmate of yours do at home?" As soon as she sat down, Du Jing looked at Liu Luran with a bit of questioning in her eyes.
If it were before, Du Jing would definitely not put his mind on Lin Yi, but Lin Yi had just made a bold move against Wu Baitian, and then faced Huang Longji head-on. Du Jing couldn't help but pay more attention in an instant.
"He... seems to be from the countryside."
Liu Luran seemed a little hesitant. In fact, there were indeed rumors in the school that Lin Yi was from the countryside, but Liu Luran was not very clear about this.
However, considering Lin Yi's performance in school in the past two years, this conclusion is easy to accept.
"From the countryside?"
Du Jing frowned.
At this time, all the lights in the entire room dimmed, and then, from the dome, a beam of light shone directly into the middle of the hall.
There, the host in a black suit slowly walked up. He looked around and said loudly: "Welcome to this Qian Jiale auction. Without further ado, we will present the first lot."
The host clapped his hands, and on the side, a woman wearing a cheongsam walked up carrying a tray.
"This first piece is palace porcelain from the former Qing Dynasty."
…
The auction continues. The first few rounds were all porcelain, and the highest price was 1.5 million.
But Lin also noticed that most of the people snapping photos were people on the first and second floors.
No one in the VIP room on the third floor made any movement, obviously they didn't care.
"Next, this auction has some background." The host motioned to the person next to him to bring up a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.
"You must have heard that there will be some of the following items in this auction, and this is one of them."
As soon as the host spoke his words, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The so-called things below are nothing more than dug out of the ground. This is the reason why so many people came here this time.
The host stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth.
"What is that?"
"I don't know, it looks like a token? But no, why is the token red? Could it be blood jade?"
On the tray is a transparent glass cover, and inside the glass cover is a blood-red token-like thing. There is a layer of blood-red soil around the entire token.
"What the hell is this?"
Many people frowned and didn't understand.
"What is blood jade?" Beside Wu Botian, the fat man with a kitchen knife on his waist frowned, looking puzzled.
"The so-called blood jade is a jade that is cultivated with the warmth of human blood. According to legend, the earliest human-nurtured jade was not for people to wear it all year round, but to soak the jade in the human body all year round. From the time the baby was just born, the jade was
Put it into the body, and then wait for sixteen years, when the baby is weak, and then take it out from the body. After disemboweling the baby, the person's blood and essence can be integrated into the jade. This kind of blood jade is the purest blood jade.
Supplemented by various unpredictable methods of ghosts and gods, this jade can be used to drive the evil spirits within."
Wu Botian on the side was chatting.
"Is there really a ghost in the world?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, but there are some elders in the valley who have some unpredictable methods." Wu Baitian was also a little unsure.
"After the appraisal of this auction by our expert team, there is still no way to determine what deeper meaning it has, but it must be able to change a person's fortune and activate the blood of the whole body. Today, let's just call it a blood jade. I hope you have some knowledge.
If anyone can get it, then the auction will begin, and the starting price is five million!"
After the host finished speaking, someone immediately started to raise signs below.
"Six million!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven and a half million!"
"Eight million!"
…
Below, there are many people holding placards.
"What on earth is this thing? Can this thing cure diseases?" Natsume murmured to himself, looking at the token in the glass cover with some hesitation.
Lin Yi, who was on the side, frowned slightly at this moment, feeling secretly frightened.
"That is blood jade, yes, but why can I feel a soaring evil spirit inside? The most important thing is that the blood and earth are evil spirits?"
Lin Yi thought secretly in his heart and did not speak.
The price has been raised to 10 million.
Natsume gritted his teeth and picked up the sign.
"Eleven million!"
The host shouted loudly, looking a little excited.
"Fifteen million."
At this time, some old voices sounded in the room opposite Natsume.
Natsume's face changed slightly, and Lin Yi also glanced over there. He only saw an old man with a calm face, and there was another person standing next to the old man. When the man saw Natsume, he looked at Natsume gently.
nod.
"Why is he here too!"
Natsume gritted his teeth when he saw the man. The man opposite him was none other than Xia Jie.
Just when Natsume was about to raise his sign, Lin Yi held his arm down.
"Stop taking pictures. This thing is unlucky. It's not a good thing to take it."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Natsume immediately suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"Fifteen million, once!"
"Fifteen million, twice!"
"Fifteen million, three..."
"thirty million."
When the host was about to finish his words, a cold voice came out, shocking the whole audience.
"thirty million!"
"You're right, I don't know what this piece of jade is, but someone actually offered it 30 million!"
Everyone looked at the VIP room in the corner of the third floor, but there was a curtain hanging in front of the VIP room, making it impossible for people to see clearly the people inside.
"Thirty million! Once!"
"Thirty million! Twice!"
"Thirty million! Three times!"
"make a deal!"
The host looked excited and immediately dropped the hammer.
The lot was sent over there, and after a brief shock, the whole place gradually became calm again.
"Then the next auction item also comes from the underground!"
The host Gao Shen spoke, and then the person next to him brought up a tray. When the red cloth on the tray was pulled, there was a shriveled black thing inside.
Looks like a peach Hu.
"This... what is this?" The people below all looked at a loss when they saw such a dark thing.
The host seemed to have anticipated this situation and said loudly: "This thing was growing on the bronze coffin at the time. It originally looked like a plump peach, but after it was picked, it instantly became like this
It looks like it has some secrets that we don't know about, maybe it's a magic medicine."
"Are you talking nonsense? This thing looks just like dried cat poop. Is this considered a miracle medicine? Do you really think our brains are not working properly?"
"Hurry up, put on the next one!"
Suddenly there was a burst of sound below.
After all, that thing looked too ordinary, and there was nothing that made it stand out at all.
"That is……"
Lin Yi, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that dark thing.
Chapter completed!
