Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 190 Mud Ball

The next day, in the evening.

Luxury cars gathered in the parking lot next to Ji’s Auction House on Hong Kong Island.

The auction was officially set to begin at seven-thirty that evening, and Shen Feng had already been escorted to the auction house by Ji Yunhan and Uncle Zhong.

One by one, people started arriving in the auction hall on the top floor.

Of course, Ji Yunhan wouldn’t let Shen Feng just stay in the hall; she arranged for him to be in VIP Room No. 1.

Uncle Zhong followed at Ji Yunhan’s side, greeting the guests.

Gu Qingshan and Gu Tianhua entered the auction hall, followed by two people wearing masks.

"Niece Yunhan, today’s auction really has quite the grand turnout! I’ve watched you grow up, and I truly feel gratified to see the achievements you’ve made," said Gu Qingshan with a smile, appearing to have a good relationship with Ji Yunhan on the surface.

Ji Yunhan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she ushered the Gu Family members into VIP Room No. 5.

After leaving VIP Room No. 5, Uncle Zhong said with a frown, "Eldest Miss, the two people following the Gu father and son might not be simple. It’s very likely they’re from the Martial Arts World."

He quickly added, "But don’t worry, Eldest Miss, people from the Martial Arts World wouldn’t dare to attack us rashly, unless they wanted to break the rules set by the Martial Arts World themselves. If they did, they would become the public enemies of the entire Martial Arts World."

"Uncle Zhong," Ji Yunhan said, "You go accompany Senior Shen in VIP Room No. 1. Most of the guests are about to arrive, and I’m going to the back to make sure everything is ready."

As Ji Yunhan headed towards the backstage of the auction hall, Uncle Zhong made his way to the door of VIP Room No. 1. He didn’t dare to push the door open directly; after knocking on the door, he respectfully waited outside.

Upon hearing Shen Feng say, "Come in,"

Uncle Zhong pushed the door open and entered, "Senior Shen, the auction is about to start. We could actually reserve the item you want and give it directly to you."

"This time, there are quite a few wealthy people, but most have no ties to the Martial Arts World. The real masters of Huaxia Country are the people from the Martial Arts World."

"Those powerful families in Capital City are mostly controlled by families and Sects from the Martial Arts World. The items we’re auctioning don’t really pique their interest, otherwise, today’s auction would be even grander."

Shen Feng said indifferently, "There’s no need."

After the Medicine Cauldron was auctioned, he planned to leave Hong Kong Island the next day and didn’t wish to entangle himself too much with the Ji Family.

Seeing Shen Feng’s firm refusal, Uncle Zhong could only shut his mouth.

...

Meanwhile, inside VIP Room No. 5.

After Ji Yunhan and Uncle Zhong left, He Kun and Fei Chao took off the masks from their faces.

Just then,

a thirty-something auctioneer walked onto the stage in the auction hall.

There were large screens in every VIP room, so those inside could clearly see the scene on the stage.

The auctioneer stood on the stage and after some remarks to set the mood, the first item of the day quickly made its appearance.

Up first for auction were two Life-Extension Pills, with a starting bid of twenty million and each subsequent bid had to be at least one million more.

Ji’s Auction House had also auctioned Life-Extension Pills before. As long as a person was still breathing, consuming a Life-Extension Pill could extend their life by fifteen days, but it only worked the first time.

There was once a tycoon who was on his very last breath and could have died at any moment. His family won a Life-Extension Pill for him at an auction.

After he took it, his condition immediately improved, going from someone about to die to a normal person.

However, fifteen days later, he suddenly and inexplicably passed away—it was when the effects of the Life-Extension Pill had worn off.

Since then, the fame of the Life-Extension Pill had spread.

There are so many wealthy people in the world, and if they were about to die, even fifteen more days of life would be a blessing to them, even if it cost them a great deal to live those extra fifteen days, they would be willing.

He Kun looked at the first auction item that appeared on the big screen in the VIP room, and said, "Coming from the Medicine King Sect, the Life-Extension Pill indeed has the ability to drive ordinary people crazy. It allows those who are about to breathe their last breath due to whatever reason to live a normal life for another fifteen days; it’s quite the remarkable spiritual medicine."

Each VIP room was equipped with a square LCD screen on the outside, and the occupants of the rooms could write down their bids on a small screen on the table, which would then be immediately displayed on the external LCD screen.

Gu Qingshan directly wrote down thirty million.

After the number thirty million appeared on the LCD screen outside VIP room number five,

people in the auction hall, not to be outdone, started calling out their prices one after another.

Today, the Gu Family would wait until after the auction to make their move against Ji Yunhan and the others.

The person who was able to entrust the auctioning of the Life-Extension Pills might possess some status; hence, even if the Gu Family absorbed the Ji Family, they would still have to pay those who consigned the pills, so naturally, they wouldn’t call out prices haphazardly.

The price of the two Life-Extension Pills was quickly pushed to sixty million.

Being able to live another fifteen days, for many wealthy tycoons, what’s a hundred million worth!

"Seventy million!"

"Seventy-five million!"

"Eighty million!"

"Ninety million!"

"One hundred million!"

The price of the two Life-Extension Pills was climbing incessantly.

After reaching one hundred million, the pace of the bidding slowed down, as not every family had members who were at death’s door.

The Life-Extension Pill had an expiration date, and if they were kept for more than three years, their effects would gradually diminish until they became completely useless.

Therefore, after the price reached one hundred million, only families with seriously ill members continued to call out their bids.

...

Meanwhile, Shen Feng sat with his eyes lightly closed in VIP room number one.

Uncle Zhong, seeing Shen Feng resting with his eyes closed, carefully repeated the effects of the Life-Extension Pill and also gave a brief introduction to the Medicine King Sect.

The Medicine King Sect held a very special position in the Martial Arts World; many families and sects yearned for a good relationship with the Medicine King Sect.

After all, the Medicine King Sect could refine a variety of spiritual medicines that were beneficial for cultivators.

The two Life-Extension Pills being auctioned this time were not directly consigned by the Medicine King Sect, but rather someone had obtained them by chance and brought them to Ji’s Auction House to be auctioned off.

Shen Feng listened quietly to Uncle Zhong’s explanation, showing no intention of opening his eyes.

When the Life-Extension Pills first appeared on the big screen, he already had a glance.

These dirt pills dare to be called Life-Extension Pills? Is the Medicine King Sect playing with mud? To take pride in refining such mud pills?

Shen Feng felt an almost laughable sense of absurdity inside. His own skill in refining medicine was also extraordinary; for him, these mud pills could be made without the need for Lifebound Flame or a Medicine Cauldron. He could easily concoct better pills on a whim, which would surely surpass these so-called Life-Extension Pills by countless folds.

Seeing that Shen Feng had no interest whatsoever in the Life-Extension Pills, Uncle Zhong closed his mouth again.

That made sense, too!

With Senior Shen’s medical skills capable of bringing people back from the brink of death, how could he be interested in Life-Extension Pills that only allowed someone to live for fifteen more days?
