At that moment, a decent martial arts cultivation manual was being auctioned below, and it was bought by a middle-aged martial artist in the hall for four hundred taels of silver.
Next item – Gentian
As soon as it went on stage, many people started bidding.
As Shang Yanting had predicted, the price of gentian root skyrocketed from its original price of 800 taels of silver to 4,800 taels, nearly 3,000 taels more than its original value.
"Are you crazy? Who would bid like that?"
"These people bidding are probably out of their minds."
"With these four thousand taels of silver, wouldn't it be better to buy a top-notch martial arts cultivation technique?"

He had sent someone to inquire about it a few days ago.
At Wanbaoge Pawnshop, a handsome young man with a strange little beast, but clumsy hands and feet, pawned items worth 20,000 taels of silver.
This person must be the young man who treated him that day.
It's not impossible to buy just one of the three medicines.
Xie Qingxian blew on his tea twice, and said to the kneeling servants with a calm expression, "The next round of bidding will continue. If anyone bids, the price of the Wuzong Buddha Mushroom will be increased to four times."
