Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
No matter what Qiao Yongjie and Chen Rongrong said, Yang Luo remained indifferent and calm.
However, Chen Rongrong clearly had no intention of letting Yang Luo off just like that.
She continued, “More importantly, you still want a woman to pay for a mere three million yuan. You’re simply just freeloading off her!”
Su Wanqiu said coldly, “He’s my boyfriend. I’m willing to spend money for him. What’s wrong? What does it have to do with you?”
Chen Rongrong spread her hands and said, “It’s indeed none of my business if you’re willing to spend money on this pretty boy.
However, anyone with discerning eyes can tell that this pretty boy is scamming you.
You’re still acting like a fool. You really took out three million yuan to bid for a broken tree branch for him.
I think the two of you are really so silly together!”
Hearing this, everyone present laughed.
Qiao Yongjie, in particular, laughed especially loudly.
Just now, he had been led by Yang Luo and had been tricked badly. Now, he had finally vented his anger.
Hearing everyone’s laughter, Su Wanqiu was so angry that she clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, she had indeed spent three million yuan to bid for a broken tree branch for Yang Luo. This was an undeniable fact.
At this moment, Yang Luo’s expression turned cold.
It would be fine if these guys mocked him.
However, he could not tolerate them mocking Su Wanqiu as well.
Yang Luo stood up and picked up the purple ginseng. He said loudly, “Do you really think this is just a broken tree branch?”
“What else? Do you think this is a treasure?”
Qiao Yongjie continued with a mocking smile.
“That’s right. If it’s really a treasure, why would it be your turn?”
Chen Rongrong chimed in.
Yang Luo chuckled and said, “In that case, I’ll let you see the true appearance of this ‘broken tree branch’!”
As he spoke, Yang Luo’s right hand suddenly shook!
In an instant!
The withered skin fell off one after another, and a dazzling purple light instantly shot out, making everyone around unable to open their eyes!
The true appearance of this broken tree branch finally appeared in front of everyone!
Its entire body emitted a purple light. It was crystal clear and rich in spiritual energy. It was filled with life and vitality, like a small purple dragon coiling in Yang Luo’s hand!
Moreover, the rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire auction hall, making everyone present feel refreshed and clear-headed!
“Oh my god, what, what is this? Why do I feel comfortable just by smelling it?!”
“I didn’t expect the true appearance of this withered branch to be so extraordinary!”
“Treasure… This is a real treasure!”
Everyone present exclaimed and stared fixedly at Yang Luo’s right hand.
“How could this be?! This broken tree branch is actually a top-grade medicinal herb?!”
Chen Rongrong could not help but scream.
Qiao Yongjie’s face also darkened. He clenched his fists and knocked them together.
He was a Martial Warrior, so he could naturally sense the dense spiritual energy contained in this medicinal herb.
This was definitely an excellent medicinal herb for cultivation. It was countless times more valuable than the 200-year-old ginseng medicinal herb he wanted to bid for today.
Su Wanqiu, who was sitting beside Yang Luo, was also stunned.
She had never expected this broken tree branch to be a treasure.
“Little Luo, what exactly is this? Is it very precious?”
Su Wanqiu hurriedly asked.
The others also looked at Yang Luo for explanation.
Yang Luo smiled and said, “This herb’s real name is the Purple Dragon Root. It’s a top-grade herb!
“Just by consuming the Purple Dragon Root, you can strengthen your body, nurture your essence, and extend your lifespan by ten years!”
Right after he finished his sentence!
Everyone fell crazy!
Extending one’s lifespan by ten years!
A medicinal herb could extend one’s lifespan by ten years. This was a priceless treasure!
“Little brother, can you sell this medicinal herb to me? I’ll pay 30 million!”
A middle-aged boss looked at Yang Luo longingly.
“Little brother, I’ll pay 50 million for you to sell this herb to me!”
A boss with slicked-back hair shouted excitedly.
“I’ll pay 100 million!”
“200 million!”
“300 million!”
In an instant, the event location exploded!
The value of the Purple Dragon Root increased exponentially, directly rising to a billion yuan, but it did not stop!
To these big bosses, there was nothing more desiring than extending their lifespan!
After all, no matter how much money they earned, they had to be alive to spend it!
Hearing the value of the Purple Dragon Root being refreshed again and again, Su Wanqiu was dumbfounded.
No wonder Yang Luo insisted that he bid for this herb. It turned out to be so precious.
The price of three million yuan had already increased dozens of times from the original bid.
Even Qiao Yongjie and Chen Rongrong were also dumbfounded.
Although they could tell that this medicinal herb was very precious, they did not expect it to be so precious.
“D*mn it!”
Qiao Yongjie roared at Chen Rongrong, “If you hadn’t stopped me, this herb would have been mine!”
Chen Rongrong said with an aggrieved expression, “Brother Qiao, didn’t you also think that this was just a broken tree branch just now?”
It J II
Qiao Yongjie was rendered speechless.
A vicious glint flashed across Chen Rongrong’s eyes as she said in a low voice, “Brother Qiao, let him be smug. After the auction ends, we’ll just snatch it from him!”
“Alright, let’s do that!”
Qiao Yongjie nodded.
At this moment, the second bid had already reached five billion.
However, Yang Luo was still indifferent.
He smiled faintly and said, “Everyone, this Purple Dragon Root is very important to me, so I’m sorry. I’m not selling it.”
With that, Yang Luo placed the Purple Dragon Root into the box, closed the lid, and sat down.
Everyone immediately stopped. They were very unwilling, but it was not good to say anything else.
After all, they had indeed misjudged.
Su Wanqiu asked excitedly, “Little Luo, did you already tell that this herb is of extraordinary value?”
“Of course.”
Yang Luo nodded and said with a smile, “That’s why I asked you to bid for it.”
Su Wanqiu said with admiration, “Other than you, no one else can use three million yuan to buy a priceless treasure.”
She was even more curious about Yang Luo now.
Who exactly was this man?
Not only was his medical skills superb, but his skills were also extraordinary. Moreover, his senses were so sharp.
What surprised her even more was that Yang Luo held a priceless treasure in his hand, but his expression was still very calm, and this calmness was not faked.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have gone crazy from excitement.
How could a man that came from the mountains be so devilish?
“Sister Wanqiu, why are you staring at me? I know I’m handsome, but you don’t have to stare at me like this, right?”
From the corner of his eye, Yang Luo teased.
Su Wanqiu charmingly rolled her eyes at Yang Luo and said, “I think it has nothing to do with whether you’re handsome or not. I’m just very curious. Who exactly are you?”
Yang Luo met Su Wanqiu’s gaze and said, “It’s not important who I am. What’s important is that you must not be curious about me.. Don’t you know that curiosity is the beginning of liking someone…”
