As soon as the auctioneer announced the starting price, people began eagerly bidding, and quickly, a Demon Orchid worth 50 million was bid up to one hundred million.
Ever since the bidding started, the person in room number four of the Heavenly Character series was incessantly raising the bid, their demeanor suggesting that they were determined to win at all costs.
Hearing the non-stop bidding from room number four of the Heavenly Character series, Tang Yichen muttered under his breath, "Could it be that Divine Doctor Mo came for this orchid?"
"Judging by the circumstances, it’s very possible," Su Luo remarked softly, glancing at the auction list.
The others didn’t speak, and Su Yunling fixed her gaze on the orchid, her fingers delicately rubbing her ring, her expression indifferent.
"The guest in room number four of the Heavenly Character series has bid one hundred twenty million; is there anyone willing to bid higher?" the auctioneer on stage was now asking.
"One hundred twenty million once, one hundred twenty million twice..."
"One hundred thirty million," a clear and unhurried voice from room number two of the Heavenly Character series interrupted before the auctioneer could finish.
This remark caught Tang Yichen and the others off guard, prompting them to turn their heads in unison to look at Su Yunling.
"Third Brother, you’re interested in this flower?" Tang Yichen asked inquisitively, looking at Su Yunling with a hint of confusion.
Could it be, it was for Yun Sen?
Since when had Third Brother cared so much for Yun Sen?
The thoughts of the others were similar to Tang Yichen’s.
Su Yunling didn’t respond to Tang Yichen’s question; she kept gently rubbing her ring, her gaze continuing to watch the auction stage closely.
The sudden voice from room number two of the Heavenly Character series caused a brief silence at the scene.
Soon, the auctioneer’s voice rang out again, "The guest in room number two of the Heavenly Character series has bid one hundred thirty million; is there anyone who would like to bid higher?"
"One hundred thirty-five million." A voice from room number four of the Heavenly Character series spoke up.
Su Yunling: "One hundred fifty million."
Room number four: "One hundred fifty-five million."
Su Yunling: "One hundred seventy million."
Room number four: "One hundred seventy-five million."
Su Yunling: "Two hundred million."
After two hundred million was called out, room number four went silent for a moment.
In room number four, the woman dressed in yellow who had been continuously bidding now wore a troubled expression. She paused, looking uneasily at the elder and the lady sitting beside her.
The lady seemed to understand what she was about to say and gently shook her head at the woman in yellow, who then refrained from further raising the bid.
Seeing this, the white-bearded elder sitting beside her turned his head, speaking anxiously, "Why have you stopped bidding? Keep going!"
Struggling with the situation, a trace of difficulty surfaced between the woman’s brows, "Elder Mo, if we continue to raise the bid, I’m afraid the money we brought this time won’t suffice. Maybe we should just let it go."
Liu Yiyi truly didn’t understand why Elder Mo was so suddenly insistent on having this Demon Orchid.
Although precious, it was not something that everyone could handle.
A single mishap could cost one’s life.
Moreover, Mo Canglan studied modern medicine, not versed in refining medicine nor in making poison. The orchid, once bought, would be of no substantial use to him.
"What do you mean let it go! This Demon Orchid, we must secure it," Mo Canglan said, about to place another bid himself. The lady who had been silent until now saw this, and with a frown, she grabbed Mo Canglan’s wrist, "Brother, let’s stop here. The things that the Ever Winning Army sets their eyes on can’t be taken by anyone else. It’d be better to end this now; otherwise, I’m worried that when we bid for the Blood Amber Pill later, we won’t have enough funds."
After hearing this, Mo Canglan’s brows furrowed deeply, his gaze fixed on the orchid, clearly unwilling to give up so easily.
"Big Brother, Brother Qi’s condition can’t wait any longer. If we miss out on the Blood Amber Pill because of this orchid, there really will be no hope for Brother Qi."
