After a pause, she added nonchalantly, “However, even if they recognize the Spirit Cloud Herb, they can’t develop a pill with the ability to cure poison, so you don’t have to be so nervous about this medicine on the stage.”
Xu Huan was a little confused and he continued asking, “What do you mean by that?”
Mo Zhu’s hand did not stop moving as she replied casually, “Because developing this pill is my unique skill. Ordinary medical families do not have this technique of mine.”
When she said this, the few people in the private room gave Mo Zhu a thumbs up in their hearts. They did not expect her to have such a hidden ability.
At the same time, everyone in the living room and other private rooms started discussing the Spirit Cloud Herb on the stage. No one was sure if this was the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.
The host cleared his throat and began to maintain order. “The auction item that is currently being exhibited on the stage is a spirit herb. According to the rules that have been set before the auction had started, the name of this auction item will not be announced. Everyone, please observe this herb seriously and carefully before you make your bid. You can increase the bid after you have confirmed it.”
“The starting bid is five billion. The auction will officially begin now!”
After saying this, everyone in the living room looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, a cold voice came from an unknown private room. “Ten billion.”
Just as he finished speaking, everyone in the venue started to raise the prices loudly, afraid that the spirit medicine would be auctioned off by others.
“15 billion!”
“20 billion!”
“I’ll bid 25 billion!”
In room one, Mo Zhu quietly listened to the bids that were getting higher and higher. She looked at the Spirit Cloud Herb on the stage in surprise and said, “I didn’t expect this medicine to be auctioned at such a high price. If I had known that it was so valuable, I would have taken some out to auction it at various places. Who knows, I might be able to make a fortune…”
When the crazy bidder outside raised the price to 50 billion, Mo Zhu’s eyelids twitched. She had originally thought that 100 billion would be enough to buy the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. She did not expect an ordinary and not very rare Spirit Cloud Herb to be raised to such a high price. She had really underestimated the legendary wealthy families in Beijing.
As if he understood Mo Zhu’s worry, Huo Xuan raised his hand and patted the girl’s shoulder comfortingly. He said softly, “There’s no need to worry too much. These people can’t recognize the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. The Spirit Cloud Herb and the Pine Snow Herb are so similar. They’re taking it as a Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.”
Huo Xuan patted the girl’s hand and continued to explain slowly, “If I’m not wrong, the Gao family should be auctioning the five spirit herbs at the starting price of five billion. These people can’t tell which one is what they want, so of course they will spare no effort to bid.”
As Huo Xuan had expected, in just a few minutes, the bid for the Spirit Cloud Herb on the stage had already reached 50 billion. This price was already not something an ordinary small family could afford.
Not to mention an ordinary family in Beijing, if they weren’t prepared in advance, even the Huo family and the Kang family might not be able to gather the funds immediately.
After sifting through many families at high prices, only a few top-notch noble families in the private rooms were still bidding intermittently.
“55 billion!”
“60 billion!”
The bidding continued. In the Lu family’s private room, Lu Zheng turned around from the corridor and pushed open the door of the private room. He raised his hand and signaled his subordinate to keep quiet.
The subordinate was stunned for a moment before he stopped raising the price.
He frowned at his young master in confusion and asked curiously, “Young Master, why did you stop me from raising the price?”
Lu Zheng casually found a chair and sat down. He replied lazily, “There’s no need to increase the bid. The one on stage is not the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb..”
