Shen Chun chuckled and turned her attention back to the auction.
This time, they were auctioning a bottle of medicinal pills. Although it couldn’t revive the dead and cure all illnesses, it could treat illnesses and pain. At the same time, it could strengthen the user’s physique and extend their lifespan.
“The starting price is 30 million!”
This bottle of medicinal pills was even more sought after than the yellow talismans from before. Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, someone had already raised a sign to bid.
“Increase the bid by 10 million yuan.” It was going to be Old Master Fu’s birthday soon. Fu Qing felt that if she gave this gift away, her grandfather would definitely think highly of her, so she raised her sign without hesitation.
“Fifty million!”
“Fifty-five million!”
As the price rose steadily, Song Han glanced at Shen Chun and leaned over to ask, “Sister-in-law, did you make this pill too?”
Shen Chun raised her eyebrows and asked, “What do you think?”
“1 don’t think so. If you didn’t, 1 would have bid with you. My mother has been having a headache recently and it can’t be cured even after going to the hospital many times. This might be useful.”
Shen Chun said calmly, “There’s no need to bid. If you want better pills, you can give me the money directly.”
“Did you really make this?” Song Han was surprised.
“Yes, it’s just a low-level pill of average quality.” Shen Chun nodded.
This was only a low-level one? Song Han had a strange expression on his face. As he looked at the people who were still bidding, his desire to take Shen Chun as his master became even stronger. “Sister-in-law, just accept me as a disciple. 1 can even do chores for you.”
“That depends on your performance.”
In the end, the price of the pill reached 100 million yuan. Fu Qing gritted her teeth and was about to raise the price when she heard a cold female voice from the top of the building.
“I want this bottle of pills for 200 million.”
The event location instantly fell silent. Everyone looked upstairs at the same time. No one expected the person upstairs to be Xu Yan. Even if others wanted to buy it, they could only give up on her account.
Shen Chun looked up and met Xu Yan’s gaze.
“Miss Shen,” Xu Yan said, “Can you provide me with more information after the auction?
I have something 1 need your help with.”
The event location was still silent. For a moment, no one knew if it was rarer for Xu Yan to ask for help or for Shen Chun to be asked for help.
The surrounding people couldn’t help but mutter and gather together to discuss.
“Who exactly is Miss Shen?”
“How would 1 know? 1 heard from Fu Qing that her family went bankrupt and she even had a relationship with Fu Qing’s fiance. However, seeing how close she is to Song Han, Xu Yan might be looking for Song Han’s help, but is too embarrassed to say it.”
“Forget it. Although Song Han is the next heir of the Song family, he doesn’t have any real power now. Xu Yan can look for his father directly. Is there a need to go around in circles to look for Miss Shen? Go and investigate who that person is later.”
“Got it.”
Shen Chun stood up and nodded at Xu Yan. “Sure, Miss Xu.”
The auction continued. After Xu Yan bought the bottle of pills, she didn’t appear again. There were a few things from Shen Chun, and due to Fu Qing’s vanity, the price was raised.
Fu Qing felt that she had regained her dignity. So what if Shen Chun knew Xu Yan? Xu Yan wouldn’t spend a single cent on her.
Lin Huai also felt proud. As he hugged Fu Qing, his eyes were filled with unconcealable smugness. So what if those people looked down on him? As long as Fu Qing was around, no one dared to do anything to him.
Two idiots!
A dark look flashed across Shen Chun’s eyes. She was looking forward to Fu Qing’s expression when he found out the truth.
After a break in the auction, the Thunder God Bead finally appeared. However, no one expected that there would be three identical beads on the stage.
Shen Chun frowned. What did this mean? Could it be that there were a total of three Thunder God Beads?
The auctioneer explained to everyone, “These three beads all contain spiritual energy, but only one of them is a Thunder God Bead. The Thunder God Bead only accepts fated people, so we specifically auctioned it in this manner. Everyone present can only choose to bid for one bead. The rest will depend on everyone’s luck.”
After Shen Chun closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, she realized that every bead contained the power of lightning. She didn’t know where this collector had found these identical stones.
Song Han clicked his tongue in annoyance and asked Shen Chun, “Sister-in-law, can you tell which one is the Thunder God Bead?”
