Historical records state.
The Qilin Fruit grows in extremely hot regions.
It is an extremely rare existence.
Let alone for ordinary people, even for cultivators of Chen Nan's level, it is greatly beneficial.
This can be considered a spiritual fruit and can be consumed directly.
It is said that consuming such a spiritual fruit can help one break through bottlenecks.
"It seems these people are here for the Qilin Fruit!"
While thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense and hundred-year Epiphyllum are indeed rare.
Their uses are not as widespread.
And now.
He understood why this auction could attract so many people.
It must be for the Qilin Fruit!
However.
Chen Nan was also prepared to bid for the Qilin Fruit.
Although he disdained using spiritual fruits to improve his cultivation.
He could still give them to his loved ones.
This item could transform a person!
At ten o'clock in the evening.
The auction officially began.
The first item was already extraordinary.
It was a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, with a starting bid of one hundred thousand, but it finally sold for nine million.
The fifth item was the hundred-year Epiphyllum.
An ephemeral bloom.
Few people get to witness the blooming of an Epiphyllum, let alone see a hundred-year-old one bloom with their own eyes and have the heart to pluck it.
Although this Epiphyllum was already dried, when the auctioneer presented it.
A faint, elegant fragrance filled the hall.
It seemed to cleanse the mind and purify the soul.
Making one feel relaxed and at ease.
"This Epiphyllum is a hundred years old, which is considered rare."
"Although this Epiphyllum cannot be consumed, it can be placed at home, and its fragrance will linger for a long time, making it a rare treasure!"
"The starting bid is one million, with each bid increasing by no less than one hundred thousand. The highest bidder wins!"
As the auctioneer announced.
The people present began to bid.
In less than three minutes.
The price of this Epiphyllum reached ten million.
However.
After reaching ten million, the number of bidders clearly decreased.
After all, the efficacy of this Epiphyllum was not significant.
To put it nicely, it was just a high-end air freshener.
How many people would spend ten million on such a thing?
"Eleven million!"
Chen Nan raised his number plate.
"Twelve million!"
A woman in her forties, still charming and beautiful, raised her number plate.
She was wearing a dark blue qipao embroidered with sacred lotus flowers.
And a fine jade necklace adorned her neck, giving her an air of wealth and status.
Chen Nan raised his plate again: "Thirteen million!"
"Fifteen million!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman continued to bid. Her tone was very calm.
As if this amount of money was nothing to her.
Chen Nan: "Sixteen million!"
Middle-aged beautiful woman: "Twenty million!"
The audience erupted in a murmur.
No one expected the price of this hundred-year Epiphyllum to reach twenty million.
Even the auctioneer was filled with disbelief.
This was ten million more than he had anticipated!
Chen Nan raised his plate: "Twenty-one million!"
Middle-aged beautiful woman: "Twenty-five million!"
"Twenty-six million!"
Chen Nan's tone was calm.
No matter the price, he had to acquire this hundred-year Epiphyllum today.
Otherwise, he would be unable to refine the Enlightenment Pill.
Although he only had over twenty million.
Jiang Jiancheng had given him a black card with ten billion yuan when he arrived.
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Chen Nan, a meaningful smile flashing in her eyes: "This hundred-year Epiphyllum is yours!"
Chen Nan: "You are too kind!"
------
The thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense was the second to last item.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in my hand is the second to last item of this auction, the thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense."
"This was salvaged by a fisherman from the deep sea."
"Although it is only over five hundred grams, it is still a treasure bestowed upon us by the sea!"
"Furthermore, this item has a miraculous effect. It can instantly relax a person, and it has a certain inhibitory effect on nervous diseases."
"Without further ado, the starting bid is five million. The highest bidder wins!"
Whispers immediately filled the hall.
"This is equivalent to ten thousand yuan per gram!"
"This is more expensive than gold and diamonds!"
"We're just here to watch the excitement. This item is destined not to be owned by ordinary people."
"I have a premonition that the price of this Dragon's Saliva Incense will break one hundred million!"
"It might even surpass one hundred million."
Some people were discussing.
While others had already begun to bid.
A middle-aged man with a slender build and a hooked nose raised his plate: "Let me liven things up. One hundred million!"
???
The starting bid was five million, and you bid one hundred million directly?
Aren't you bullying people too much?
"Two hundred million!" an old man said slowly.
The ordinary wealthy individuals were stunned.
Each bid increased by one hundred million?
Is this truly necessary?
Indeed.
The world of the rich is beyond our comprehension.
It's as if you're playing house!
However, their actions had a benefit, as they deterred many from even thinking of bidding.
"Five hundred million!"
Chen Nan's words were astonishing.
When the two men raised the price to two hundred million, he knew he would have to pay a lot to acquire this thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense.
Five hundred million was his anticipated price.
As expected.
Upon hearing the price of five hundred million, both men shook their heads.
Although they also wanted to obtain this Dragon's Saliva Incense, in their hearts, it was not worth five hundred million.
Everyone else looked at Chen Nan with shock.
Although he was young, he was truly generous with his spending!
While everyone present came from affluent backgrounds, very few had assets reaching five hundred million.
And even fewer could afford to participate in bidding with such a sum.
Chen Nan rejoiced inwardly.
Surely, there would be no more suspense now?
At this moment.
The aforementioned middle-aged beautiful woman raised her number plate: "Six hundred million!"
Chen Nan frowned.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Had he offended this woman somehow?
Why was she targeting him at every turn?
"Seven hundred million!"
A surge of anger rose in Chen Nan's heart.
But no matter what, the immediate priority was to acquire this thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense.
The middle-aged beautiful woman raised her plate again: "Eight hundred million!"
"One billion!"
Chen Nan gritted his teeth.
Jiang Jiancheng had prepared a total of one billion for him. If he couldn't acquire the thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense with ten billion, he would have to resort to another method.
The hall fell silent.
All eyes were focused on the middle-aged beautiful woman.
"This young brother is indeed exceptionally wealthy," the middle-aged beautiful woman said with a wry smile. Although she wanted to buy this Dragon's Saliva Incense to honor her elders, her funds were not sufficient to acquire it.
The auctioneer was overjoyed and quickly struck his wooden hammer: "Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense! According to our Qin family's rules, any item sold for over one hundred million will receive a piece of top-grade mutton-fat jade provided by our Qin family!"
Chen Nan's relieved heart finally settled.
Although he had spent a lot of unnecessary money, he had at least acquired the thousand-year Dragon's Saliva Incense and the hundred-year Epiphyllum.
And next, his target was the Qilin Fruit!
