Fifty billion, a full forty billion more than the previous transaction price.
Zhou Ziling's expression twisted in pain. Lin Jinglong's bidding spree had cost him four billion yuan for nothing.
This is only the first item up for auction. If any good items come up later, he won't have enough money to bid on them!
The Zhou family warriors all had bloodshot eyes, clearly enraged to the extreme.
If it weren't for Wei Wudi keeping things in check, they probably would have rushed up and killed Lin Jinglong long ago.
"Young Master, this kid is clearly targeting you!"
"You absolutely must keep your composure and not fall for this kid's provocation!"
Old Sun held Zhou Ziling's arm and advised him.
"Get out of my way!"
Zhou Ziling flung Sun Gan's hand away. At this moment, he already had a million ways to torture Lin Jinglong in his mind.
No matter what method he uses, he is determined to make Lin Jinglong pay the price.
Wei Qingcheng was overjoyed to see Zhou Ziling get the short end of the stick!
"Mr. Lin, thank you for standing up for me!"
"However, if Zhou Ziling gets so angry that he dies, that would be a real problem!"
Everyone around stared at Lin Jinglong in fear.
"This kid, relying on Miss Wei and the Wei family head's backing, maliciously targeted Young Master Zhou, making him so angry he vomited blood!"
"Isn't he afraid that once he steps out of this door, Young Master Zhou will cause him trouble?"
"Although 5 billion is just a drop in the ocean for the Zhou family, it's still a lot of hard-earned money!"
"Zhou Ziling is a vengeful man; no one in Jinling City can make him suffer!"
"If this kid can leave Jinling City alive, then he'll truly be considered capable!"
Everyone looked at Lin Jinglong with pity.
Although Lin Jinglong has the powerful Wei family behind him, the Zhou family's strength is not much weaker than the Wei family's.
In addition, the Zhou family patriarch has been in seclusion for the past few years, and it is said that he is trying to break through to the final level.
If he succeeds in breaking through, only Chairman Feng of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association can rival him.
In the entire city of Jinling, there is probably no one who can rival the Zhou family patriarch.
Moreover, the Zhou family patriarch is extremely protective of his own. If he knew that Zhou Ziling had been humiliated in this way, he would definitely not let the boy off the hook.
"This kid is undoubtedly playing with fire!"
"Is it really worth losing your life for a moment of pleasure?" Several figures shook their heads, seemingly feeling sorry for Lin Jinglong.
Unfortunately, they were unaware of Lin Jinglong's strength.
If people knew that Lin Jinglong had almost killed Wang Lang with a single slap, probably no one would dare to underestimate him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is anyone else bidding?" The beautiful host asked with an excited smile.
His eyes kept glancing at Lin Jinglong's seat, filled with both admiration and envy.
Five billion Crimson Blood Pills—the commission alone would be a considerable income.
This is also the highest initial transaction price recorded at the Guwenxuan Auction in nearly ten years.
"Five billion and you're still raising the price? Do you think we're fools?"
"Hurry up and get the next item, this one already belongs to Young Master Zhou!" everyone urged.
Yang Feihu also raised the corner of his mouth: "I think in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, only Young Master Zhou has the financial resources to spend 5 billion to buy a Grade 3 pill!"
Congratulations!
After these words were spoken, no one knew whether Yang Feihu was praising or scolding Zhou Shao.
Anyway, it had a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Zhou Ziling was furious!
"Call me and have someone send me the money right away!" Zhou Ziling ordered the servant beside him.
"Young Master Zhou, the master has instructed that you can only use a maximum of 10 billion!"
“If additional funds are needed, the company must obtain approval from the old man. This process is extremely complicated and takes at least a day to prepare!” Sun Gan explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziling instantly flew into a rage: "Bastard!"
"I don't care what method you use, get the funds to me immediately!"
"I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Several servants of the Zhou family trembled in fear!
They dared not object, and Sun Gan sighed deeply: "Alright!"
"Young master, I'll go back and get the money now!"
After saying that, Sun Gan quickly left the meeting.
As the auctioneer's gavel fell, the first item up for auction, the Crimson Blood Pill, was sold to Zhou Ziling for 5 billion.
"Next, please welcome our second auction item today, a famous painting from the Ming Dynasty, 'One Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'..."
The next two auction items are both calligraphy and paintings, which are valuable items for collectors.
Lin Jinglong wasn't interested until the fifth item was brought out, at which point his gaze changed slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a manuscript!"
"It records twelve medical acupuncture techniques, although I can't understand the origin of these techniques!"
"But the seller auctioning this item is asking for a minimum starting bid of 100 million!"
"The auction will now begin!"
"Please place your bid..."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.
A moment later, a laugh suddenly rang out: "Wait, does Gu Wenxuan now put anything up for auction?"
"You think you can sell a manuscript scribbled on by some quack doctor for 100 million!"
"Are you guys at Guwenxuan so poor you've gone crazy?" a young man said sarcastically.
He had barely finished speaking when someone recognized him.
"It's Chen Feng! He's the eldest disciple of Meng Tairan, the owner of Maidtang Medical Clinic!"
"I didn't expect him to come too!"
Everyone was slightly surprised.
Chen Feng has been studying diligently under Meng Tairan for seven years and is now a renowned physician in Jinling City.
He is only thirty years old. Given time, Chen Feng's achievements in medicine will surely surpass those of Meng Tairan, the medical master of Jinling.
Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately cast disdainful glances at the item.
"Since Master Chen has said so, then this thing must be worthless!"
A middle-aged man immediately shook his head, and the man next to him also looked on with disdain.
"Nonsense, even Gu Wenxuan doesn't know the exact value of this item!"
"Otherwise, why would they listen to the seller and start the bidding at 100 million?"
"Isn't this treating others like suckers?"
The crowd below the stage was noisy, but no one made a bid.
The beautiful host looked embarrassed; in fact, the origin of this item was somewhat unclear.
Moreover, the twelve acupuncture techniques recorded above are quite complex and difficult to comprehend.
Gu Wenxuan specially invited several medical experts to appraise the value of the manuscript, but after they looked at it, they all said that the acupuncture technique might be fake.
Because learning this acupuncture technique requires at least the skill of a grandmaster, and the content recorded on it requires the practitioner to integrate their internal energy with the acupuncture technique.
This needle technique is simply unheard of.
There are only two possibilities: the creator of this acupuncture technique was either an idiot or a genius.
Looking at the thick manuscript, Lin Jinglong's lips curled into a strange smile.
