Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Century-Old Python Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Century-Old Python Guo Jun climbed up from the ground at this time, not expecting the man in the Daoist robe to be so powerful.
He was a Gold Realm Martial Artist!
He had the strength to fight with the experts at the bottom of the Tiger Rankings.
However, in the hands of Mr. Shuijing, he couldn’t withstand even a single move.
He sneaked a glance at Lin Dong over there, then cleared his throat and said to the mysterious woman:
“Indeed, the expert by your side is very impressive; I admit I’m not as good.”
“But if you speak disrespectfully towards Master Lin, I, Guo Jun, will be the first one to disagree!”
These words left Wang Liu beside him stunned for a long time.
Then he came to his senses and understood Guo Jun’s intentions.
“This Guo Jun really knows how to flatter!”
At this point, Wang Liu also stood out and imitated, “I, Wang Liu of Tong City, also won’t allow you to speak disrespectfully towards Master Lin!”
“What, you want to get beaten too? Mr. Shuijing, teach him a lesson as well!” the woman in the green dress said coldly.
However, Mr. Shuijing did not make another move.
Instead, he whispered to the woman in green:
“Miss, let’s not forget why we’ve come here. Our goal is to bid for the century-old python for the young master.”
The woman in green then gave up.
Qian Fuguo, the sponsor of the auction, also hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
Although he did not yet know the identity of the woman in green, it didn’t take much to realize that she was certainly someone important.
An expert capable of defeating Ning City Boss Guo Jun with one strike was definitely not someone Qian Fuguo could afford to offend.
“Yes, yes, yes, everyone, let’s all focus on peace and harmony. Say no more, the auction will soon begin!”
After saying this, he carefully accommodated everyone to their seats.
As for Guo Jun and Wang Liu, they naturally didn’t get too heated. They weren’t foolish; it was enough for them to show off a bit in front of Master Lin to express their standpoint.
Of course, they wouldn’t really fight the other party to the point of life or death.
After everyone had taken their seats, Qian Fuguo walked up to a stage at the very front.
“Everyone, welcome to the Qian Family’s monthly Underground Auction!”
“I’m sure everyone has heard that the highlight of this auction is the century-old python!”
“Let’s not waste more words, the first item up for bid is this python!”
As the words were spoken, the audience below was abuzz.
Everyone had never seen a centuries-old python and was curious about what it looked like.
Qian Fuguo clapped his hands, and immediately eight big men came carrying a large iron cage covered with a black cloth.
The eight big men struggled to carry it!
Soon, the large iron cage covered with black cloth was brought up to the stage.
Qian Fuguo grasped the black cloth covering it and with a strong pull, removed it.
The black cloth was pulled away, revealing the large iron cage and its contents.
Inside the large iron cage, a giant snake was coiled!
The snake was jet-black and looked to be dozens of meters long, its thickest part as wide as an adult’s thigh.
A snake of dozens of meters in length equaled the height of a three-story building—if it stood upright, it would certainly be terrifying. Even coiled, it was extremely daunting.
Many of the tycoons present had never seen such a large snake and now many of them exclaimed in surprise.
“My God, that snake is huge!”
“How was it captured?”
“Look, it’s still alive. It’s moving!”
“Scary, who’d dare to kill it once it’s bought?”
“…”
The murmurs of the crowd buzzed on.
Hearing the commotion, Qian Fuguo could not help but laugh and say:
“Everyone, regarding the origin of this century-old python, our rules require confidentiality.”
“As for the medicinal effect of the century-old python, I believe everyone knows what I mean. Both its gall and meat contain medicinal properties equivalent to that of hundred-year-old ginseng.”
“Heh heh, I won’t mention the other effects, but just say, if its meat is used to brew wine, then such wine becomes a ‘Men’s weapon’…”
As he reached this point, many older male businessmen below brightened at the promise, somewhat eager.
Seeing this, Qian Fuguo continued to laugh and say:
“As for those worried about the difficulty of killing the python after purchasing it, no need to worry, the auction will handle it! We will kill it and hand it over to the buyer.”
“Alright, no more idle talk. Let’s start the bidding!”
“Century-old python, starting bid, one billion!”
One billion, to the average person, was an amount of money that would be difficult to earn in a lifetime.
But to these tycoons, it was hardly anything to fuss about.
Just a modest goal, if anything.
“One billion one hundred million!” Immediately, a rich businessman bid, adding ten million.
“One billion fifty million!”
The mysterious woman in green opened her mouth to bid, jumping straight to one billion fifty million.
Lin Dong then spoke, “Two billion!”
Wow!
As Lin Dong made his bid, everyone’s attention turned to him, including the woman in green who looked at Lin Dong with discontent.
“Two billion one hundred million!” The woman in green bid again.
“Two billion fifty million!”
Lin Dong bid again.
Money was not so important in his eyes. In his view, cultivation was what mattered most.
“Two billion sixty million!” the woman in green said through gritted teeth.
At this point in the auction, only Lin Dong and the mysterious woman in green were bidding.
Certainly not backing down, Lin Dong spoke up directly:
“Three billion!”
At that moment, everyone in the venue turned to look at Lin Dong.
All curious about his identity.
