Three years ago, he was the young master of the most prominent family in the capital, but due to his grandfather's superstition, he was sent to a Taoist temple where he suffered hardship yet ma...
Everyone looked shocked.
Those who had just been mocking the old man all fell silent.
If it were an ordinary doctor, they might not take them seriously, but the other party was from the Holy Physician's Mansion, which is one of the three super powers in the Great Xia Kingdom.
The disciples of the Holy Physician's Mansion are spread throughout the Great Xia Kingdom, and they specialize in treating the wealthy. Each of them holds a high position and possesses great power.
Among them, four are national-level master doctors, who are the pinnacle of the medical community in the Great Xia Dynasty.
They serve the war god and high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Kingdom, and every friend around them is a top figure in the military and political circles of the Great Xia Kingdom.
People of this caliber can only look up to them in awe.
Provoking the people of the Holy Physician's Mansion is tantamount to courting death!
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the second row suddenly laughed: "Old Duan, you mustn't try to pressure me with the Holy Physician's Mansion!"
"I simply feel that this manuscript has some of my master's spirit!"
"That's why I want to buy it, take it back and preserve it properly, so that people can admire it!"
"If you want it, just raise the price!"
After Xia Tiande finished speaking, he sat down quietly.
Chen Feng, who had just been mocking the manuscript as junk, suddenly had a twitch in his eyelids and looked excitedly at Xia Tiande.
He quickly stood up, walked directly to Xia Tiande, bowed deeply, and then respectfully extended his hand.
"Mr. Xia, what brings you to Jinling City?"
"Do you remember me? My master is Meng Tairan. He introduced me to you at the Kyoto Medical Symposium before!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tiande was stunned for three seconds.
A moment later, he realized what was happening and immediately put on a friendly smile.
"You're Chen Feng's nephew?"
"Hahaha!"
"Look at my memory! I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Turns out you're Master Meng's disciple!"
"Master Meng and my master have been friends for thirty or forty years!"
Xia Tiande quickly stood up and shook hands with Chen Feng.
Xia Tiande's master was Li Xiuxian, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association of the Great Xia Kingdom and a famous doctor in the Great Xia Kingdom, who was once known as the Sage of Medicine of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Li Xiuxian is 90 years old this year and has long since retired from the Chinese Medicine Association, passing on his mantle to Xia Tiande.
Xia Tiande is now the vice president of the Great Xia Kingdom Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and in the near future, he will surely take the position of president.
In the entire city of Kyoto, apart from the colossal Sacred Physician's Office, Xia Tiande was the most famous.
Countless top-tier wealthy individuals in Kyoto treated Xia Tiande as an honored guest.
When Chen Feng heard Xia Tiande address him as his nephew, a strong sense of pride welled up in his heart.
The people around them also cast admiring glances at the two of them.
"Uncle Xia, I must treat you to a proper meal after this auction!"
"Haha! If my master knew you were coming to Jinling, he would be overjoyed!"
"Very good! Nephew Chen Feng, it's been a long time since I've seen Elder Meng. I must take this opportunity to pay him a proper visit!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the old man's face was filled with an excited smile.
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted.
"I remember now, that old gentleman is Duan Chun, one of the four great masters of the Holy Medical Academy, the old master Duan!"
"Old Master Duan was one of the ten marshals of the military, Xiao Zhenguo's personal physician, and also the Grand Elder of the Holy Physician's Mansion!"
What?
It's actually a national champion from the Great Xia Kingdom!
Holy crap, these two are both incredibly powerful.
One is the personal disciple of the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, and the other is the national master of medicine of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Grand Elder of the Sacred Medicine Palace.
Good heavens!
It's like Mars colliding with Earth!
Everyone gasped in shock.
Seeing that Xia Tiande had suddenly raised the price, Duan Chun was not to be outdone.
"I'll add another fifty million, making it two hundred million!"
"Our Holy Physician's Palace must acquire this!"
Duan Chun stared intently at Xia Tiande, showing no sign of backing down.
"Two hundred and fifty million!" Xia Tiande frowned and continued to raise the price.
"I'll give you three hundred million!"
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
"Four hundred million!" Duan Chun stood up abruptly from his seat.
Those around them were astonished to see the two fighting so fiercely over the item.
"Could this thing really be priceless?"
"Old Master Duan of the Holy Physician's Mansion and the Vice President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are arguing so fiercely?"
Many frowned, lost in thought.
If this thing really had no value, why would these two famous doctors fight over such a tattered manuscript?
A wealthy man from Nanjing immediately offered: "I'll add another 100 million, 500 million!"
Before long, other people nearby started raising their bids!
"I'll offer 550 million!"
"They even snatched it from the Holy Physician's Palace, this must be a treasure, we must get it!"
"Six hundred million!"
"Seven hundred million, eight hundred million..."
Xia Tiande and Duan Chun never expected this situation to occur.
Within three minutes, the manuscript was being sold for two billion.
This is insane!
Holy crap! This piece of junk has actually been sold for two billion!
Duan Chun's eyes were gloomy. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and wait until no one else was bidding before raising the price to acquire the manuscript.
Unexpectedly, Xia Tiande intervened halfway through.
Those who come here to participate in the auction are not fools. Once they know the true value of this item, it will be much more difficult for them to make a move and acquire it.
"Xia Tiande, it's all your fault for what you've done!" Old Master Duan said coldly.
