174 The Final Treasure!
Under the incredulous gazes of Zhao Yang, Li Wenjing, and the others, Chen Yun slowly raised his hand.
In an instant, the gazes of the entire auction house gathered here.
“You’re crazy! Put your hand down quickly!” Zhao Yang shouted in a low voice.
Didn’t he see what occasion this was?
There were so many high-ranking officials and nobles here, and none of them fought with Divine Doctor Zhang for the items. Yet, Chen Yun simply disrespected Divine Doctor Zhang.
Besides, it was five million yuan!
This was easy to say, but could he really pay up?!
He offered five million yuan for a stalk of ginseng. He was really generous!
At this moment, if Chen Yun could not pay out or offended Divine Doctor Zhang, Zhao Yang might even be implicated.
At the thought of this, Zhao Yang’s gaze was extremely ruthless. From his gaze, it was as if he really wanted to chop Chen Yun into meat paste.
Li Wenjing and the others also turned pale. Just as they were hesitating if they should pull Chen Yun’s hand down, Zhang Ming slowly turned around and looked at them with an unfriendly expression.
That gaze was cold. Zhao Yang and the others felt as if their bodies were completely frozen. They did not even dare to move a finger. They only wanted to run as far as possible and leave Chen Yun’s vicinity, trying their best to cut ties with him.
The people beside Chen Yun thought the same.
For a moment, the people around Chen Yun and the others scattered. Only Chen Yun, Zhang Yuwan, and Wang Meiqing were left. Even Li Wenjing was quickly pulled away by Zhao Yang.
At this moment, the two little girls looked at Chen Yun. Their eyes were wide open and they were still in a daze.
Among the surrounding people, Zhao Yang ran the fastest.
He was instantly frightened when Zhang Ming looked over just now. What kind of person was Zhang Ming? He was the Divine Doctor. He was a rare and top figure in Jiangbei and even in the entire Chinese medicine circle in China.
Chen Yun sat there, as unmoving as a mountain. There was a teasing smile on his face as he endured the gazes of everyone present.
Beside him, Zhang Yuwan reacted and desperately pulled Chen Yun’s sleeve. She cried. “Brother Chen Yun, what are you doing? Put your hand down quickly.”
Chen Yun smiled at her.
The people beside him looked at the smile on Chen Yun’s face and thought to themselves that this person was simply crazy. When they saw Zhang Ming stand up, the cold smile on their faces deepened.
However, in the next moment, the coldness on Zhang Ming’s face turned into a spring breeze. He laughed out loud at Chen Yun and subconsciously bowed. “Little Divine Doctor, so you’re here too. Why didn’t I see you just now? Otherwise, I would have welcomed you personally.”
Little… Little Divine Doctor?!
In an instant, everyone present was stunned.
Zhao Yang’s eyes almost popped out. The people beside him were petrified on the spot.
What was going on?!
Was that Zhang Ming with a warm smile on his face?
Legend had it that Zhang Ming never smiled and was extremely serious. Even his family rarely saw his smile.
However, now, he was actually smiling apologetically and calling Chen Yun “Little Divine Doctor”.
He addressed Chen Yun politely!
He was extremely respectful!
Who was Chen Yun?!
At that moment, everyone was curious.
Beside Zhang Ming, an old man chuckled and said, “Old Zhang, you’re really getting worse the more you live. You actually called him the Little Divine Doctor. Why? Could it be that his medical skills are better than yours?”
Zhang Ming stared at him coldly. “In front of the Little Divine Doctor, my medical skills are not even comparable to that of a student’s. Back then, my hand was unbearably weak and I couldn’t find a solution no matter how hard I tried. The Little Divine Doctor could tell which medicine was effective at a glance. Tell me, was there anything wrong with me calling him the Little Divine Doctor?!”
“Furthermore, how can you know the capabilities of the Little Divine Doctor?!”
Zhang Ming was naturally talking about the Heavenly Spirit Water. However, the people from Mount Shennong were isolated and far away from the center of Jiangbei. How could they know the wonders of the Heavenly Spirit Water?
The old man beside Zhang Ming was scolded by him. He did not say a word.
The people beside him looked at Chen Yun and their eyes changed. Since Divine Doctor Zhang had said so, how capable was this person?
“Little Divine Doctor, come and sit quickly.” Zhang Ming stood up. Then, he invited Chen Yun, Zhang Yuwan, and Wang Meiqing to sit in front, among the group of divine doctors and big shots.
Many people beside him immediately chatted with Chen Yun.
When Zhao Yang, who had returned to his seat, saw this scene, he had mixed feelings. They did not expect Chen Yun to be so respected by Zhang Ming. Now, he was even sought after by a group of big shots and divine doctors.
If they hadn’t left just now and stayed with Chen Yun…
Zhao Yang thought that if that was really the case, any word from these big shots and divine doctors would be enough for him to thrive on Mount Shennong.
But now…
Zhao Yang lost all his strength.
In front, after Chen Yun sat down, Lu Yan from the Lu family also chatted with Chen Yun. Qi Chen also turned around and nodded at Chen Yun, but his eyes were filled with disdain.
He had been a doctor for so many years and naturally knew all kinds of hardships. How old was Chen Yun? He looked to be around 20 years old. How could he be worthy of being called the Little Divine Doctor?
What a joke. He had probably cured Zhang Ming by coincidence or after obtaining some prescription.
However, he would not say this on such an occasion. If that happened, not only would it be a slap to Zhang Ming’s face, but it would also be bad for the Qi family’s reputation.
This commotion only lasted for a while before it passed. In the end, the hundred-year-old ginseng was won by Chen Yun, and the auction continued.
The auction was calm and some old medicines were sold.
However, when it came to the last item, the auctioneer was also excited.
“Everyone, the next auction item is our final treasure today.”
“This thing is circulated among the upper echelons of the eastern part of Jiangbei. It’s said to have the effect of restoring cell vitality and eliminating negative effects. With one sip, it’s as if you’re reborn.”
…
As the auctioneer spoke, everyone present was at a loss. What was going on?
What did they mean by being reborn and restoring cell vitality? All of this was nonsense.
However, they also knew the professionalism of this auction house. Naturally, they would not bluff others. At that moment, they had doubts and anticipation in their hearts.
Then, the auctioneer lifted a red cloth on the stage. Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw it.
“This!”
“What is this?!”
“This color is so strange. Can this thing be drunk?”
…
Questions sounded. Qi Chen and Lu Yan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and their bodies leaned forward slightly.
They had really heard of this thing!
It was the holy water that the upper echelons of the eastern part of Jiangbei talked about!
It had the effect of rejuvenating their youth. They had drunk it before and naturally knew about the magical effect. However, when they asked again, no one told them more information.
They thought so too. This thing was incomparably precious. It was rumored that there was insufficient supply of this in the eastern part of Jiangbei. Who would be stupid enough to reveal all kinds of secrets to them?
They did not expect to encounter this here.
