The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 574 - 0: Gut the Wuu Family

Not only were others shocked, but Lin Yingying was also drenched in cold sweat, fiercely pinching Long Fei’s thigh.

She made faces at him frantically, whispering, "Aren’t you able to make your own pills? Why do you still need to buy them? Our family doesn’t have that much money, does it?"

Long Fei patted her shoulder, urging her to calm down.

The one who should be anxious now was Wuu Xudong, not them.

Jiang Yunyi and Jiang Yunlan sized up Long Fei from head to toe, the man who seemed unremarkable but had provided too many surprises for the day.

First, he spent 1.2 million to buy the wine, and now he was bidding 30 billion for a pill.

They looked at Long Fei from left to right and didn’t think he appeared wealthy; 30 billion was not a small sum, and among the renowned attendees all added together, only a few could afford such a figure.

"Could he be a disciple from a major family?"

The siblings exchanged glances and signaled the auctioneer with their eyes.

The auctioneer addressed Long Fei, "Sir, I would like to remind you once again of the rules at Divine Dragon Auction House. If it’s found that you’re intentionally disrupting the auction, bidding maliciously without the money, no matter how prominent your identity, you will face stern punishment from Divine Dragon Auction House."

Although Lin Yingying didn’t know what Long Fei was planning to do, as his fiancée, she felt it was necessary to defend her husband.

She stood up and said to the auctioneer, "Don’t worry, with Lin’s Group backing us, 30 billion is no problem!"

The crowd stirred, some who recognized her exclaimed, "So it’s the beautiful CEO of Lin’s Group, no wonder she looks familiar!"

"Lin’s Group has been doing well these years, just barely they might be able to produce the 30 billion."

"Jeez, this guy has quite the backing, huh!"

"Isn’t that right, having a rich and beautiful fiancée, of course, he’s bold!"

"I get it now, the Lin Family must have someone with a terminal illness, so they must get this pill."

A murmuring spread through the crowd, and facing Long Fei, no one dared to belittle him any longer.

The Jiang siblings frowned slightly and nodded to the auctioneer.

Only then did the auctioneer bang the copper hammer down, "Alright, 30 billion once, any other gentlemen wish to raise the bid?"

The crowd shook their heads; they had attended many auctions and had seen fools but never one quite like this—adding an unnecessary 100 billion when increasing just by one billion might have done the trick.

"30 billion twice!"

The auctioneer hammered down a second time, her eyes sweeping over Long Fei before scanning the others.

Her gaze was precise, fixating on Wuu Xudong.

Wuu Xudong’s forehead was sweating, his hands clenched tightly, he gave Long Fei a cold sidewards glance, and before the auctioneer could hammer down for the final time, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "I bid 30.1 billion!"

One billion, someone increased the bid by a billion.

The assembled crowd roared in disbelief, thinking have they all gone mad today?

For them, a Detoxification Pill was just a backup item.

But for Wuu Xudong, it was a life-saving cure, and he wouldn’t give up any hope.

However, the Wuu family would now have to sell off their assets.

He never considered opposing the Jiang Family; he also knew the prowess of Divine Dragon Auction House, and that it was not an entity the Wuu Family could afford to offend.

In this world, there were plenty of Cultivator Families eager to curry favor with the Jiang Family.

As long as the Jiang Family expressed the word, Cultivator Families would undoubtedly respond in droves, even the upper echelons of the secular world wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity to make amends.

To offend the Jiang Family was to be at odds with the world.

After shouting 30.1 billion, his legs went soft, and he slumped back into his seat.

Long Fei was quite calm, only the corners of his mouth faintly lifting into a smile. He actually thought Wuu Xudong was going to give up!

In the Storage Ring he possessed were things that, even if Wuu Xudong did not step forward to take the blame, could easily purchase this pill.

Not to mention anything else, just the sum of Spirit Stones his ancestor left him was enough to cause an uproar in the Cultivation World.

Thirty billion might indeed be a large sum for the average person, but for him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Even without the Spirit Stones, he could use other items for the exchange. That was the confidence behind his bid.

Lin Yingying finally let out a sigh of relief, her forehead beading with sweat as she fiercely grabbed Long Fei’s thigh.

Luckily, Long Fei dodged quickly, narrowly avoiding her grasp at that place.

Everyone turned their gaze towards Wuu Xudong, unsure why another person with abnormal nerves had appeared.

Before the auctioneer could remind him, Wuu Xudong took off his hat, arrogantly saying, "There’s no need to say more, I understand the rules. The combined funds of the Wuu Family in Binhai are enough to cover this payment."

The auctioneer nodded, and at the gesture of the Jiang siblings, had someone carry the pill over to Wuu Xudong.

Wuu Xudong took the pill, his whole body trembling. Without another word, he swallowed it right in front of everyone.

The people of the Jiang Family frowned at this and quickly sent a few young people to attend to Wuu Xudong for the payment.

Long Fei glanced over, noting that these young men were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

They were probably worried that Wuu Xudong might default on the payment, which is why they were so anxious.

Long Fei had been wanting to settle the score with Wuu Xudong, but with the Jiang Family watching, he decided it wasn’t yet time to take action.

After the third auction item was presented, Long Fei relaxed and began to enjoy the show.

With the Jiang Family watching, he wasn’t worried about Wuu Xudong escaping from there.

Everyone thought that following such a valuable second item, the final item of the auction would be even more precious.

But to their surprise, when the red cloth was removed, what appeared was a black Iron Pestle.

Yes, that’s right.

It was a metallic object resembling an iron pestle, roughly one foot in length, made of a material that was unknown but looked much like iron.

Circled patterns were engraved on its surface, which were projected onto the big screen.

Long Fei took a closer look, the patterns were like inscriptions but not quite; they also seemed to be natural cracks.

The wealthy onlookers were immediately abuzz, thinking to themselves that the Jiang Family had gone mad to auction off a metal stick.

The auctioneer also appeared a bit embarrassed, holding the object in her hands as if she were presenting a man’s dignity

Some of the younger, ill-intentioned spectators burst out laughing, causing the auctioneer to blush and hurriedly put it back in the box before introducing it to everyone, "Please don’t laugh. This Iron Pestle has an extraordinary origin; it is celestial meteoric iron.

Not long ago, on a day filled with thunder and lightning, an object fell from the sky into the sea. After a hard struggle by fishermen, this Iron Pestle was discovered in the ocean.

At first glance, it might seem like a piece of scrap iron, but after experiments conducted by our Jiang Family, it’s proven to be incredibly hard. Neither fire burning nor the strike of blade or sword could leave a single mark on it.

This piece of meteorite iron was originally intended for a special auction, but today, in gratitude to everyone here, our host has specially brought it out for display.

Even if you’re not interested, consider it as admiring a visitor from the far reaches of the universe. The starting bid for this item is one million, with each raise of the paddle increasing the bid by one hundred thousand. Those interested can now start bidding."

But now, any mention of thunder and lightning made Long Fei extra attentive. He focused on the Iron Pestle, using his spiritual power to probe it, attempting to see if there was any Spiritual Imprint hidden inside.

After sending his spiritual power in, there was no feedback at all, just like with ordinary metal.

Others were also using their spiritual power to examine the Iron Pestle, but upon touching Long Fei’s spiritual aura, they promptly withdrew theirs.

Long Fei took notice. In the front row, Jiang Yunlan’s eyes swept over the crowd, eventually meeting his gaze.

A wrinkle formed on her forehead, revealing a trace of surprise.
