After a few minutes, only a few wealthy men were still bidding.
Jin Que: "Thirty-two thousand taels."
Ye Diao followed closely behind: "Thirty-three thousand taels."
The price was raised to one thousand taels, as if silver was not money. The people around were frightened and their adrenaline surged.
In short, it's exciting.
Fang Xingjian, the eldest son of the Fang family, was even more astonishing: "Forty thousand taels."
Fang Wenwen, who came with him, couldn't help but clench her fingers, her heart hanging high in the air.
Jin Que's eyes darkened, and he spoke slowly, "Forty-one thousand taels."
Ye Diao crossed his legs, looking relaxed and at ease. He put a melon seed that his wife had been peeling into his mouth, then he slowly bid, "Forty-two thousand taels."
Jin Que looked over with sudden realization, "Master Ye, are you determined to go against me, Jin?"
Ye Diao said, "Master Jin, you're joking. Who wouldn't want a good thing like an amulet? Everyone depends on their ability. The highest bidder wins. How can you say I'm going against you?"
Fang Xingjian added, "That's right. If Master Jin can't afford the price, then he should withdraw immediately. This is an auction, and money matters." He raised his sign: "Forty-three thousand taels."
After saying this, he exchanged a glance with Ye Diao.
The cousins exchanged a knowing look.
After being bullied by the two men, Jin Que was so angry that his neck became thicker and his nostrils flared. He knew that the two men were deliberately teaming up to deal with him.
But he couldn't say what was wrong.
Well, you guys aren't raising the price on purpose? Then I'll let you raise it!
Jin Que was furious and raised his placard to bid: "Fifty thousand taels!"
After making the offer, he glanced at Ye Diao and Fang Xingjian provocatively, as if to say, follow me, keep following me!
Even if he failed to get the things from these two bastards in the end, he would make them bleed!
Ye Diao and the other man obviously understood Jin Que's intentions, but they were not afraid. The Ye family was already wealthy, and in the past six months, they had been doing business with Xue Huan, and their business territory had expanded a lot, so they had more money in their hands.
Although the Fang family is not as wealthy as the Ye family, they are also quite wealthy. Why would they be afraid of the Jin family?
The three of them went back and forth, and the price was quickly raised to 80,000 taels.
The people around me had been feeling up and down, but now they have calmed down and are just sitting there watching the show.
When Jin Que tried to raise the price again, Ye Diao casually said, "Master Jin, I heard that the Jin family's business has been tough in recent months and they've suffered a lot of losses. It seems the rumors are wrong. Just looking at the way Master Jin is spending money, I know the Jin family is not short of money!"
After hearing this, Jin Que was shocked, and his angry mind finally calmed down. It seemed that the Jin family really could not come up with 80,000 taels of silver at the moment. If they wanted to raise so much money, they would have to sell some land and shops, and by then the Ye and Fang families would definitely be able to know about it.
If this gets out, where will the Jin family's reputation be? I'm afraid they'll be laughed at!
But he couldn't bear to give up just like that. This was an amulet! An amulet that could withstand a fatal attack! And the bidding had already reached this point. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to give up suddenly?
At this moment, Xue Huan interjected, "I forgot to mention one thing earlier. If someone intentionally bids too high a price to win something, but then can't come up with the money, they will be blacklisted by the Daqing Foundation and will never be allowed to participate in charity auctions held by the foundation again."
Jin Que felt a little uneasy, because he really planned to get the thing first no matter what, and then he would think about not being able to come up with so much money at the moment, so he asked the foundation for some leniency. He didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoxian, this woman, would see through his plan.
If it were before, he really wouldn't care. It's just an auction, right? Why would he care about it?
But now, he really wanted it! Zhao Xiaoxian and Master Zhao had a good relationship. Since Master Zhao was able to give the elixir he had drawn and refined into a talisman to Zhao Xiaoxian this time, who could say there would be a next time?
It didn't matter that he didn't take a picture of the talisman this time, but if he offended the foundation and Zhao Xiaoxian, he would probably never have the chance to get those talismans and elixirs in the future!
Jin Que's expression changed several times before he finally managed a fake smile. "Haha, nephew Ye, you're joking. How can my Jin family compare to the Ye family? I won't compete with you, nephew Ye. I just hope that after you get the amulet, you won't forget the kindness I showed you today."
You old man, you are so shameless!
Ye Diao cursed in his heart.
But he put on a hypocritical smile, "Sure, sure."
He and Fang Xingjian exchanged a glance, and Fang Xingjian stopped bidding. The four amulets were bought by Ye Diao at a high price of 80,000 taels.
For the next evil-repelling talisman, everyone thought Xue Huan would auction it as a bundle again, but unexpectedly this time she sold it individually.
The small and medium-sized wealthy people who originally thought they would be left out suddenly became excited and joined the bidding.
If the five evil-repelling talismans were auctioned together, they definitely wouldn't be able to afford them, and in the end it would be a show for a few wealthy bosses. But now that they are auctioned individually, it's different. Each of them has a chance to win!
Watching everyone competing to bid, Chen Tian, who was acting as an assistant, couldn't help but sigh that he still had a lot to learn, and he learned a lot from the girl's trick.
The five talismans were sold for different prices, but on average each one was no less than 15,000 taels!
This price is also very shocking.
Xue Huan: "Next up is the elixirs, but before the auction, I want to show you the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill. As for the Nourishing Essence Pill, it's a warming and nourishing pill, so its effects won't show up overnight, so I won't show it here. But I still say that if you have any questions, you can come to me.
"Now, who would like to come up and test the effects of the rejuvenation pill? Let me explain first, the test requires making a cut on your hand."
She thought that after she said this, everyone would be hesitant to try the medicine, but she still underestimated their enthusiasm for the elixir. Everyone below was scrambling to get on stage.
Xue Huan had to speak up to maintain order: "Everyone, please be patient. How about this? Everyone has a number plate, right? I'll just call out a number, and whoever's next is next will take it. How about that?"
No one had any objection.
Xue Huan: "Number 35."
This number had never been raised before, so she didn't know who it was, and neither did anyone else. They all looked around to see who was so lucky to be chosen.
He Shen looked at his license plate, which clearly read "35".
It's him!
This time it was Feng Xian's turn to envy him.
"It's me." He Shen stood up and walked onto the stage under everyone's attention.
Without Xue Huan's words, he rolled up his sleeves, took out a small knife, and began to practice with it, trying to figure out where to strike. "Miss Zhao, how big of an incision do you want?"
Xue Huan: "It doesn't need to be too deep, just a shallow cut will do."
He Shen cut his hand without hesitation, and blood immediately flowed out. However, this flesh wound was nothing to him. He was more interested in knowing how effective the rejuvenation pill would be.
Xue Huan immediately crushed a rejuvenation pill and sprinkled it on his wound.
