Of course, there are also people who don’t know what the Nine-bearded Ginseng King is, and they are waiting for people to learn more with puzzled faces.
At the same time, the middle-aged host on the stage saw that the atmosphere had become lively and said with a smile: "Old Yan is indeed a master of traditional Chinese medicine and a master of Chinese medicine! He actually recognized the origin of this ginseng king at a glance!"
"That's right, what you are seeing is none other than the thousand-year-old elixir that will be the grand finale of our auction, the Nine-Bearded Ginseng King!"
"The so-called Nine-Bearded King Ginseng is the best among the old ginsengs in Changbai Mountain. One beard is a hundred years old, and nine beards are nine hundred years old. Adding the length of the ginseng body, this Nine-Bearded King Ginseng is at least 1,100 years old. It can be said to be the best of the best, the king of the kings of medicine. It is no exaggeration to call it a thousand-year-old elixir! In order to obtain this Nine-Bearded King Ginseng, no less than three expert herbalists were killed in the Changbai Old Forest!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes moved slightly, but their expressions were all extremely excited.
With a history of 1,100 years, this medicine can definitely be called a miracle drug!
As for the death---isn't it normal for people to die when taking this kind of magical medicine?
Moreover, it further proves that the Nine-Bearded Ginseng King is hard to come by, and everyone knows this routine of raising the auction price.
"As you all know, the world's largest ginseng is housed in the exhibition hall of the People's Hall in Northeast China. It is a national treasure and weighs approximately 505g. It is the largest ginseng known to date and is priceless!"
"Although this Nine-Bearded Ginseng King is not as heavy as the national treasure ginseng of our Dragon Country, it still weighs a full 459 grams and is a true top-grade elixir!"
"Now, I declare that the starting price for this thousand-year-old nine-bearded ginseng king is 20 million. Each bid must not be less than 2 million. The bidding begins!"
"Twenty-five million!"
"Twenty-eight million!"
"thirty million!"
"..."
Compared to the previous 'Black Jade Branch' whose name was unknown to everyone, this Nine-bearded Ginseng King was obviously much more popular, and the bidders were very enthusiastic.
What's more, with the previous national medical master Yan's inspection, no one doubted the authenticity of this ginseng.
In less than a minute, the price of this Nine-bearded Ginseng King was sold at a high price of 50 million!
At this time, some of the weaker ones began to shake their heads and withdraw, watching the show quietly.
In box number one, Bai Zewen, who had been watching the show quietly, smiled lightly and took action directly.
"Sixty million!"
This time he raised the price, just like Lin Ruoxi did before, by directly adding 10 million.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, but this time, no one was too concerned about his identity.
We have given him enough face before, and now it’s a matter of equal strength.
Although the Bai family is powerful, they can't kill all the wealthy and powerful people who bid here, right?
Moreover, how could someone who could spend tens of millions to buy a medicinal herb here be an ordinary small businessman?
"Sixty-three million!" A wealthy old man in Tang suit raised the price.
"Sixty-five million!" Someone in a VIP box on the second floor also participated in the bidding.
"Seventy million!"
In private room number one, Bai Zewen's face turned slightly cold and he spoke directly.
Almost as soon as he finished naming the price, Lin Ruoxi, who had been watching, also made a move.
"Eighty million!"
Another 10 million was added directly!
Several wealthy people on the first floor who were about to bid put down their signs with wry smiles on their faces.
The gods in the VIP box on the second floor started fighting again. They couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only watch the show quietly!
"Eighty-five million!" Box No. 5, which had made the bid before, bid again at this time.
Lin Ruoxi had no expression on her face and raised the price again.
"Ninety million!"
There was no sound in box number five.
In box number one, Bai Zewen's face looked a little unhappy. Who was the person in box number sixteen who actually dared to go against his Bai family?
Xing Xiushen seemed to know what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "The one bidding against us is from the Lin family."
Bai Zewen was not surprised that Xing Xiushen could see him. He frowned and asked, "Lin Boren?"
"Correct!"
"I didn't expect that Lin Boren would also participate in this kind of underground auction. It really caught my eye!"
"The one bidding wasn't Lin Boren, but a young girl. She looks like the daughter of the Lin family!"
"Hmm? The daughter of the Lin family should be in Zhongzhou practicing with Master Gong now. Why is she in Jinling City?" Bai Zewen was full of confusion.
When Xing Xiushen heard the words "Zhongzhou Tiangong", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "You said that the girl from the Lin family is the disciple of Old Ghost Gong?"
Bai Zewen was stunned and his face looked a little unhappy. He had just forgotten that the person next to him had a feud with the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace.
"Yes."
When Xing Xiushen heard this, a strange smile appeared in his eyes.
"So he's the disciple of Old Ghost Gong. No wonder he could break through to the Transformation Realm at such a young age!"
Bai Zewen glanced at him, somewhat unable to fathom his thoughts, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Xing, should we continue to raise the price?"
"Add!" Xing Xiushen said calmly, "How can I let Old Ghost Gong have what he wants?"
Bai Zewen's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.
"One hundred million!"
As Bai Zewen made his offer, there was another commotion in the hall.
That night, two herbs worth over 100 million were auctioned off. It was crazy!
Moreover, judging by the momentum, the transaction price of this Nine-bearded Ginseng King might be even higher than this - don't forget, the mysterious Box No. 9 has not received any bid so far!
In box number nine.
Su Bai sat carefree on the leather sofa, tasting red wine, with a look of contentment on his face.
On the side, Shen Daoru couldn't help but say, "Mr. Su, Bai Zewen and the others have raised the price to 100 million. Should we make a move?"
Su Bai smiled and said: "Wait a little longer---"
Shen Daoru was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Su, could this Nine-Bearded Ginseng King be fake? I don't see why you don't seem to be very interested in it?"
Tang Qiubai was also puzzled. "Yes, teacher, I don't think this King Ginseng looks fake. Could it be that this King Ginseng is not old enough?"
Su Bai smiled and said, "This Nine-Bearded Ginseng King is indeed a thousand years old, but—but you have all overlooked one point. The so-called spiritual medicine is not the older the better. The simplest and most crucial way to determine the value of a spiritual medicine is to see whether it contains sufficient spiritual energy."
After a pause, Su Bai pointed at the golden Nine-Bearded Ginseng King on the jade plate and said calmly, "This Nine-Bearded Ginseng King is indeed old enough, but it was not properly protected when it was unearthed. At least 70% of its spiritual energy has been lost! This kind of stuff is far inferior to the dead branch we bought. Why should we rush to grab it?"
Shen Daoru's face was filled with disbelief, and he asked doubtfully, "But, I see that the color of this Nine-bearded Ginseng King is extremely rich, it doesn't look like it was unearthed too long ago---"
Su Bai smiled faintly: "If my guess is correct, this Nine-bearded Ginseng King looks so rich in color, it must have been cultivated with a special nutrient solution."
“This—this—”
Shen Daoru didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Isn’t this too confusing?
If Su Bai hadn't been there, he would have definitely been cheated!
"Mr. Su, should we still follow?"
Shen Daoru asked respectfully. He now completely followed Su Baima's lead.
"Follow! Why not?" Su Bai smiled brilliantly. "Since Bai Zewen and Xing Xiushen want this thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng, we must join in the fun!"
