Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 340 - 370 Auctioning a Magic Artifact (6th Update)

Chapter Three Hundred Seventy

Bai Susu lifted the red cloth.

People craned their necks in expectation, only to show disappointment one by one.

Given the previous Black Jade Intermittent Ointment and the fact that Bai’s Medicinal Materials was a medicinal company, people naturally assumed that the second auction item would be a rare medicine or medicinal herb.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bead bracelet hanging on a stand.

At a glance, it appeared to be made of ordinary jade beads, but the quality of the jade was fairly good, being of the Ice-like level.

While Ice-like Jade Balls are precious to ordinary people, they are nothing special to the wealthy individuals present. If they were to wear jade, they would definitely opt for glass-type jade, or not wear any at all, as anything else would be considered beneath their status as billionaires.

Moreover, there were only a few jade beads on the bracelet.

The design was also quite ordinary, simply strung together on an ordinary thread.

Bai Susu seemed to sense the somber mood in the room, and she smiled slightly as she began to introduce, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you somewhat disappointed? However, this bracelet is even more precious than the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, because it is a Magic Artifact."

A Magic Artifact?

It was as if a pebble had been cast into still waters, immediately causing ripples among the crowd.

Those who could enter here were no ordinary folk; even the wealthy knew about Magic Artifacts, not to mention those from the Cultivation World. Experience tales with novelbuddy

Magic Artifacts are far from common.

It can be said they are extremely rare.

Usually, only a very few appear on the market, and those are at top-tier auctions.

No one had expected that at this small auction held by a local medicinal company, a Magic Artifact would surface.

Suddenly, someone in the front row stood up and asked, "Miss Bai, may I ask what the effects of this Magic Artifact are?"

"Mr. Bai, don’t be in a hurry," Bai Susu acknowledged the person asking the question. She picked up the Jade Bead Bracelet and said, "This Magic Artifact was forged by a great master and obtained by our Bai Company. In order to add a selling point to the auction, and not to disappoint our distinguished guests who have traveled from afar, I brought this Magic Artifact out for auction. The functions of the artifact are, firstly, to ward off evil, and secondly, to nourish the body. Wearing this artifact guarantees that you will not be entangled by evil spirits, nor will it allow sickness to afflict you. Most importantly, the artifact can protect you from harm; after testing, it can withstand small-caliber bullets."

"What?"

People below were astounded.

At first, everyone had been calm since warding off evil and nourishing the body are standard effects of Magic Artifacts, which most that come to market possess.

But to block small-caliber bullets? What kind of claim was that?

The wealthy individuals could hardly believe it.

However, very few people’s expressions changed dramatically as they stood up.

"Amitabha, I am Monk Liaokong from Yunjue Temple. Miss Bai, I wonder if I might have the opportunity to observe this Magic Artifact up close."

Yunjue Temple was an ancient temple in the southwest, not well-known to the secular world but famed within the Cultivation World. Practically every Martial Artist or Spirit Practitioner present recognized Liaokong, aware that he wasn’t just a monk, but also a Spirit Master.

Bai Susu glanced down from the stage and saw Long Xiaoshan giving a slight nod. She said, "Master Liaokong, please."

Liaokong the Monk soon came up onto the stage.

He stood by the display table, picked up the Jade Bead Bracelet, and his expression changed immediately as he beheld it. His eyes revealed a fervent gleam; Yunjue Temple had Magic Artifacts, but he had never seen one with such strong fluctuations of Spiritual Energy. This was undoubtedly a treasure.

Liaokong examined the bracelet for several minutes, then reluctantly set it down and stepped off the stage.

Someone asked, "Grandmaster, is that a real Magic Artifact?"

Liaokong nodded, "It is a real Magic Artifact."

With Liaokong’s validation, everyone became envious.

Then someone called out, "Director Bai, we believe this is a Magic Artifact, but the claim that it can block bullets is too remarkable, and genuinely hard to believe."

Bai Susu said, "I know that you are all skeptical. Therefore, I will wear the bracelet and test it myself, but I can’t use a handgun. Firstly, it’s not allowed; secondly, the power of a handgun is too strong and would damage the jade beads on the bracelet. Even if it blocks the bullet, the Magic Artifact would still be damaged."

Bai Susu put on the Magic Artifact, then had a staff member bring up a brick.

Regarding the defensive ability of the Magic Artifact bracelet, Bai Susu was very confident, and she had tested it long ago.

However, the people below were still somewhat nervous.

Bai Susu, this delicate and beautiful woman, was actually letting someone smash her with a brick.

Some people, moved by compassion and cherishing beauty, suggested that Bai Susu should let someone else demonstrate.

Bai Susu smiled, did not agree, and instead instructed the staff to throw the brick at her.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the staff threw the brick towards Bai Susu.

Many women in the crowd let out exclamations of shock.

Just as the brick was about to hit Bai Susu, a yellow light emerged from her hand, deflecting the brick away, sending it to land on the stands; Bai Susu raised her hands and turned around, signaling she was completely unharmed.

Although they didn’t use bullets for the demonstration, using a brick was still astonishing.

And just now, a light appeared out of nowhere, deflecting the brick; it seemed inconceivable, like a magical treasure of an Immortal.

The people present became wildly agitated.

All eyes sparkled with excitement.

They were even more excited than before; the Magic Artifact was too precious, especially for the wealthy and powerful people present. Having such a Magic Artifact was not only good for one’s health but could also defend against danger, killing two birds with one stone. It was simply too good to be true.

"Bidding will now begin; the base price for the Magic Artifact is five million, and each increase must not be less than five hundred thousand," said Bai Susu as her words fell.

Someone immediately called out:

"Eight million!"

"Ten million!"

"Fifteen million!"

The prices were jumping by millions, and the bidding soon exceeded thirty million, showing the value of this Magic Artifact in everyone’s eyes.

"Fifty million!"

Suddenly, a voice spoke out; it was Tang Xiao.

At the mention of this figure, the room fell quiet for a moment.

Fifty million, half a hundred million. Even though everyone was wealthy, it wasn’t easy to whip out half a hundred million at once.

No matter how precious a Magic Artifact, it had its value.

Fifty million clearly exceeded the range many could afford. After all, for self-defense, with fifty million one could hire a security company—any King of Soldiers or mercenary platoons were easily employable.

Moreover, competing with the Tang Family was something many did not have the courage to do.

After a brief silence in the room, another bid shattered the quiet.

"Fifty-five million." It was none other than Monk Liaokong from Yunjue Temple.

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel that even monks were crazy rich these days.

"Sixty million." The one who spoke was Tie Qiong from the Iron Palm Gang, giving Tang Xiao a cold look as he called out the number.

"Sixty-five million." The Tang Family bid again.

"Sixty-eight million."

"Seventy million."

The price continued to escalate, making many of the wealthy gasp inwardly at the emerging figures, dressed so bizarrely, yet so casually splurging money. In the blink of an eye, the price reached eighty million.

With that number, the bidding finally slowed down.

Eighty million was evidently reaching a limit.

"One hundred million!" Suddenly, a calm voice offered, jolting everyone there.
