“65 million.”

A rich kid in a suit shouted out his bid.

Ding Yuanchang was one of the top jewelry masters in Huaxia. His final work was definitely worth a sky-high price.

In addition, the necklace was still incomplete. The value of an incomplete necklace sometimes far exceeded the value of a finished necklace in the luxury market.

“68 million.”

River City’s famous collector, Tao Yuan, also put in his bid.

“70 million.”

Xia Ruoxue bit her red lips as she listened to the bids that kept ringing in her ears.

She hated herself at the moment!

Why did she have to break off relations with the Xia family at this time?

Had she not, she would have sold the Magnificent group just to get her hands on the Tears of the Stars.

Unfortunately, she simply could not come up with enough money to bid for this item.

She subconsciously looked over at Ye Chen. At first, she wanted Ye Chen to help her place a bid, but when the bid for 92 million rang out in her ear, her final hope was shattered.

Even Ye Chen could no longer bid for it now.

Ye Chen naturally noticed Xia Ruoxue’s anxiety. He stood up and said, “I’m going to the toilet.”

“Alright… “Xia Ruoxue was feeling rather disappointed.

Not long after, Ye Chen found Jin Lengyan. Without beating around the bush, he asked Jin Lengyan to find someone to help him bid for the Tears of the Stars.

Jin Lengyan was rather curious. She could sense that Ye Chen possessed some measure of cultivation, so it was likely that he was an ancient martial arts practitioner.

Why would an ancient martial artist bid for such an ordinary piece of jewelry though?

Was he buying it for a woman?

“How about this? Mr. Ye, take this phone. If there’s anything you want to bid for, and it’s inconvenient for you to place the bid personally, you can contact me through this phone. I’ll get someone to bid for you.” Jin Lengyan said.

Ye Chen took the phone for her. He had a good impression of Jin Lengyan. It seemed that the family behind her placed her in charge of this auction for good reason.

“By the way, Mr. Ye, the price of the Tears of the Stars has reached 96 million.

May I know what your bottom line is? My suggestion is to cap your bid at 100 million” Jin Lengyan said.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. After some thought, he replied in a serious tone, “Just bid 200 million for it. If someone outbids me, then add another 100 million to the bid.”

Hearing this, Jin Lengyan was stunned.

Although she knew that Ye Chen had at least one billion yuan right now, he should not be wasting money like this!

That necklace offered no benefits to ancient martial arts practitioners at all, so why did he have to go that far?

A minute later, at the auction venue.

Ye Chen had already returned to his seat.

There were only two people bidding for the last item, and one of them had already given up.

The Tears of the Stars necklace was indeed valuable, but it would be a loss-making venture if one spent more than 100 million yuan on it.

The host knocked his gavel on the block and said, “98 million, going once! Are there any higher bids?”

“98 million, going twice!”

A smile appeared on the lips of the rich punk whose bid it was.

If there was another person who outbid him, he would continue to bid. His bottom line was 140 million.

Everyone present thought that the Tears of the Stars was just a simple piece of jewelry. They were completely wrong! He was the only one who knew that the Tears of the Stars was not that simple. It also had a great connection with the Xia family of Jiangnan Province!

He even knew that Xia Ruoxue was present here.

If he bought the item and gave it to Xia Ruoxue, perhaps she would secretly marry him. His family might then be able to rely on the Xia family to rise up!

At this moment, Xia Ruoxue was also looking at the rich punk who had called out the highest bid. Her brows were slightly furrowed.

She had already made up her mind. No matter who won the auction, she would get this item from them at any cost.

The host saw that no one was going to continue bidding and was about to bring the bidding to a close when a female voice echoed from the broadcast system of the auction house, “An anonymous gentleman has bid 200 million.”

Hearing that number, everyone gasped!

Someone actually offered 200 million for the Tears of the Stars, which was an unfinished piece of jewelry!

Was this person f*cking crazy? Did they have so much money and nowhere to spend it?

Xia Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock. She even covered her mouth subconsciously to stop herself from exclaiming.

At this moment, the face of the rich punk who had called out the previous highest bid was extremely pale.

The sudden appearance of this hack had completely disrupted his plan! Most importantly, he could not match that bid!

“200 million, going once!”

“200 million, going twice!”

“200 million, going three times! Soldi! Let’s congratulate this… Um… Mister who doesn’t want to be named.”

Everyone had a strange expression on their faces except for Ye Chen, who had a mysterious smile on his lips.

A few days ago, he had overheard Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue’s conversation and found out that Xia Ruoxue’s birthday was coming soon.

When the day arrived, he would give her this necklace.

At this moment, the rich punk stood up as if he had gone crazy. “How is it possible for someone to bid 200 million? The bidding was manipulated by the auction house!”

Before he could continue, Jin Lengyan, who was wearing the cheongsam, appeared at the auction venue!

“Are you doubting my Jin family’s integrity?”

When everyone present saw Jin Lengyan, they were all shocked!

This was because the spokesperson of the martial arts family of River City, the Jin family, had finally made her appearance!

Although the rich punk did not know who the woman in front of him was, he could read the room. He quickly said, “No… No…”

“Hmph!” Jin Lengyan snorted coldly. “Men, drag this guy out and break his limbs!”

Her tone was extremely domineering!

This was the foundation of the Jin family!

The next second, the rich kid was dragged away by two men in Huaxian tunic suits.

He struggled madly and shouted, “I’m Qiu Mingkai, you can’t do this to me…”

Jin Lengyan’s eyes were cold. “From now on, the Qiu family of River City is forbidden from ever setting foot into our auction venue. Anyone who violates this decree will be killed without mercy!”

With just two sentences, the atmosphere became stifling.

The average family in River City were naturally unaware of Jin Lengyan’s identity. Only the ancient martial arts practitioners and the top families of River City knew what the two words “Jin family” meant in River City.

Then, Jin Lengyan briefly glanced at Ye Chen, who was still seated, before walking over to take centrestage. “Next, I hereby announce the commencement of the second segment of the auction! However, I’ll give everyone a hint. The final item today is no longer the hundred-herb cauldron. There will be a new item instead!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those who had come for the hundred-herb cauldron changed.

They no longer wanted to go all-in on the cauldron. Since Jin Lengyan had taken the time to mention this, the last item had to be more precious than the hundred-herb cauldron!

“Our first item is this golden thread dress. The starting bid for this is 90 million yuan.”

“The seventh item is the Mo-style sword art manual. The starting price for this is 150 million yuan.”

II

160 million!

II

II

180 million!

II

Ye Chen was not interested in anything on offer. To him, most of these items were useless.

The golden thread dress and other martial arts manuals were no different from trash from his perspective.

However, these ancient martial arts practitioners were fighting over them crazily!

It seemed that the difference between Huaxia and ‘that place’ was too great. This group of people thought they were high and mighty, but they did not know that they were as insignificant as specks of dust in ‘that place’.

In the end, the Mo-style sword art manual was won by a lady who bid 280 million.

Jin Lengyan’s eyes inadvertently fell on Ye Chen. She realized that, up until now, Ye Chen had not placed a single bid. Was this guy only interested in the Tears of the Stars?

She stopped thinking about it and asked three experts to bring over a huge box. When the box was opened, it revealed an ancient bronze cauldron.

“This was originally the final auction item for today. It is now the second last item. It was obtained by the Jin family by accident on Mount Shennong. This cauldron is called the hundred-herb cauldron. It can be used to refine medicine and can also be kept as a collector’s item. The starting price for this is 300 million yuan, and each bid increment must be no less than 10 million yuan!”

Boom!

At this very moment, Ye Chen’s eyes were burning with passion, and his breathing had sped up significantly!

This was because the hundred herb cauldron on stage was the pill cauldron that he had been dreaming of!

Moreover, its grade was not low!
