On July 20, the night sky was sparkling with stars.
Under the starry sky...
In a hidden corner of the city, heavy doors slowly open, leading guests into a bizarre and fantastical underground world.
This is the venue for tonight's auction, an elaborately decorated underground palace.
Each chandelier emits a soft yet dazzling light, decorating the entire space in a way that is both mysterious and magnificent.
Liu Feng and Uncle Zhang submitted a deposit of one million yuan and held an invitation letter before they were able to enter.
They remained outwardly calm, but their hearts were in turmoil.
Wealthy people and celebrities from all directions arrived one after another, dressed in custom-made suits and adorned with jewels.
Who says that the richer people are, the more low-key and simply dressed? That's because you haven't seen their extravagance.
Liu Feng and Uncle Zhang found a place to sit down. The table next to them was full of pastries, fruits and drinks.
Uncle Zhang picked up the crystal-clear wine glass, poured himself a small glass of wine, and a delicate and complex aroma wafted out—the elegance of violets and the fragrance of black cherries.
Waiting for the auction to begin.
In the crowd, a short man caught Liu Feng's attention. He was plain-looking, even ugly, but he was accompanied by a tall and beautiful woman.
When Liu Feng heard someone complimenting the short man as "Young Master Huang," he suddenly remembered who he was!
Huang Dashao, known as the ugliest man in Taiwan, compares himself to the reincarnation of Zhong Kui.
He was known for his romantic and unrestrained lifestyle, and his love for beautiful women was unprecedented and unparalleled. He was famous for his extravagant lifestyle and his obsession with beautiful women.
He had countless affairs throughout his life, and it is said that he spent 2 billion yuan on women every year. He even had a luxury bed specially made to accommodate nine people for his own use.
At his peak, he had nearly a hundred female apprentices and girlfriends.
It's the envy of countless single men.
At this moment, the beautiful woman next to Young Master Huang was Chen Baolian, whom he had met once before.
Liu Feng also remembered who she was!
She was originally a pure and innocent girl, but her fate was tragic and she died young.
Her parents divorced when she was 4, she was betrayed by her own mother to make pornographic films when she was 17, she became obsessed with her sugar daddy when she was 21, she went insane when she was 25, and jumped to her death when she was 29.
In his last letter, he wrote: "Mom, please tell him that Baolian is gone. Baolian loved him until her death, and I will never allow anyone to slander him..."
How many people felt sorry for her back then? Why did you love that ugly old man? Just because he was rich and powerful? What a despicable woman.
It wasn't that she was vain or cheap; it was simply because she was naive and easily deceived.
It was simply because that person showed her affection and helped her break free from the identity of YX.
Even in death, she remained grateful to Young Master Huang.
...
Liu Feng sighed softly.
Chen Baolian saw him, smiled and nodded at Liu Feng from afar, then took Huang Dashao's hand and entered the VIP area.
The auction began, and the lights focused on the auction stage, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
An intelligent and beautiful auctioneer gave the opening remarks, introducing the auction items and rules in fluent Chinese and English.
At the auction, items ranged from rare watches to limited-edition luxury cars, from precious jade to dazzling jewelry…
Buyers in the audience listened attentively or whispered among themselves, discussing the value of their favorite items.
As the bidding began, an indescribable tension filled the air.
Each bid was accompanied by a racing heart and the stares of those around me.
It is also common to see internationally renowned collectors, entrepreneurs, and celebrities bidding at these auctions.
The peach wood ruyi consigned by Liu Feng was sold to a famous feng shui master in Hong Kong for HK$900,000.
Another ancient coin, "Da Qing Yi Bai" (大清一百), also sold for 600,000 yuan.
The prices of these two items were roughly in line with Liu Feng's expectations.
What he looked forward to even more was the elixir to come.
This is a major surprise, and it won't be easy to get savvy wealthy people to buy into it.
Therefore, when Liu Feng was worried that no one would be interested in the auction, he took the initiative to recommend and introduce the property to Chen Baolian.
However, he underestimated the keen insight and extravagant purchasing power of Hong Kong and Macao elites.
One precious item after another takes the stage.
One of the jade pendants has a warm, lustrous color like mutton fat, and is carved with exquisite cloud patterns, subtly revealing an extraordinary and refined quality.
Surprisingly, Liu Feng could vaguely sense a faint flow of spiritual energy inside the jade pendant.
Although this wisp of spiritual energy was extremely subtle, it was as clear and distinct as a glimmer of light in the darkness for him, a cultivator.
Treasures imbued with spiritual energy are truly rare.
He was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained calm. Looking around, he noticed that no one else seemed to have noticed the secret in the jade pendant.
The auctioneer enthusiastically introduced the jade pendant's quality and craftsmanship.
However, for those wealthy people, this jade pendant was nothing special.
Liu Feng sat quietly in his seat, having already made up his mind.
With the auctioneer's call of the starting price: "Starting price: 100,000; minimum increment: 10,000!"
Not many people were willing to bid, and when the price gradually climbed to 200,000, most people chose to give up, leaving only a few sporadic bids.
At this moment, Liu Feng slowly raised the number plate in his hand and said, "Three hundred thousand."
Successfully captured the photo.
The auction continued, and when the auctioneer slowly unveiled the mystery of a century-old ginseng with five leaves, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
