Chapter 373 Lin Ruoxi
While Su Bai and Shen Daoru were talking, in box number 16, Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was filled with coldness.
She just wanted to buy an old medicinal plant to take back to celebrate her teacher's birthday, but she didn't expect it to be snatched away again and again. This made her, who was so proud and arrogant, really unable to swallow this?
Just as she was about to raise the price, she saw that Box No. 9, which had been silent, had made another offer!
"One hundred and twenty million!"
This time, the people in Box No. 9 actually added 20 million at one time, they simply didn't take the money seriously!
Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi was slightly stunned, and then her face was full of anger.
The person in box number one was enough to bother him, but he didn't expect that the person in box number nine who had stolen her elixir before would come out again.
She took a deep breath and said coldly.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
Wow!
This time, everyone in the hall was in an uproar again.
Although they anticipated that the Nine-Bearded Ginseng King would be sold at a sky-high price, they did not expect it to be so expensive.
One hundred and fifty million is equivalent to the total assets of a small company!
Now, it’s just to buy a ginseng.
While everyone in the hall was shocked, in Box No. 1, Bai Zewen's face looked extremely grim.
He was wondering why Su Bai didn't come out to compete with them, but he didn't expect that as soon as he thought of this, Su Bai had already taken action.
What made him even more depressed was that not only Su Bai, but also Lin Ruoxi, who had previously competed for the "Black Jade Branch", got involved.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Bai Zewen glanced at Xing Xiushen who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and said nothing more.
"Twenty million!"
After he raised the price this time, the entire hall fell silent again.
Two hundred million!
This time she directly added 50 million!
Under the auction table on the first floor, several wealthy people from Jinling saw this and smiled bitterly.
They finally realized how big the gap was between themselves and these top giants.
Others can spend 200 million to buy a ginseng, can they?
Although they are worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, most of that is the fixed assets of the company or family. The cash they can actually mobilize in a short period of time is only a few hundred million.
Now it seems that this money can only buy two Nine-bearded Ginseng Kings?
Thinking of this, everyone sighed, and no one knew what they felt in their hearts.
In box number 16.
Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was gloomy and she said nothing.
On the side, a black man said something in his ear, and Lin Boren's face changed slightly.
"The person who just made the offer is Bai Zewen from the Bai family. Ruoxi, should we continue?"
Lin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she suddenly shook her head and said, "Second Grandpa, no need! Since the Bai family wants it, then we'll give them this favor!"
Lin Boren nodded: "Then I'll listen to you."
In box number one.
Bai Zewen looked at the box where Lin Ruoxi and Lin Boren were, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Xing, the Lin family has given up!"
Xing Xiushen nodded, feeling quite satisfied.
"In that case, thank you very much, Patriarch Bai!"
There are still some benefits to cooperating with Bai Zewen. At least, sometimes the identity of the Bai family can intimidate many people.
Although Xing Xiushen is quite famous, he has not returned to China for more than ten years, so his power is naturally not comparable to that of the Bai family.
On the auction stage, the middle-aged host, looking stunned, seemed to have just come to his senses. He shouted excitedly, "The VIP in Box One has bid 200 million. Anyone else want to bid?"
"If there is no---"
"Two hundred and ten million!"
Before the host finished speaking, a lazy voice came directly from box number nine.
The host's body stiffened, and the words in his throat were choked back.
He was just asking a routine question and going through the motions, but he didn't expect someone to actually give him a quote - this time, he was doomed!
He knew the identity of the person in private room number one. If he offended him this time, he might lose his job.
I glanced at the backstage and saw that Chen Meiqi's face was extremely gloomy.
Then he smiled awkwardly and simply stopped talking.
I'm not going to say anything anymore. Let's see how you can find trouble with me.
"Teacher, Bai Zewen won't give up, right?"
Seeing that there was no movement outside for a long time, Tang Qiubai asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Su Bai's smile remained bright, and he said confidently, "Don't worry, even if Bai Zewen wants to give up, Xing Xiushen won't give up. How could he miss out on this thousand-year-old elixir that can boost his cultivation?"
Sure enough, as soon as Su Bai finished speaking, a cold and old voice was heard from box number one.
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
"Twenty-six million!"
Su Bai smiled and agreed again.
Without any hesitation, Xing Xiushen's voice sounded again.
"Three hundred million!"
Su Bai sneered and was about to take action, but his brows suddenly frowned and an old and cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Su Bai, do you think doing this useless work is meaningful to me? Today, even if you raise the price of this Nine-Bearded Ginseng King to 10 billion or 10 billion, ask yourself, do the Hundred Medicinal Hall dare to take that much money from me?"
Xing Xiushen sneered, "Instead of doing these meaningless things, you might as well go back and prepare for your funeral. After all, you won't have another chance in two days!"
Su Bai's face was indifferent, his eyes penetrated through the many obstacles, and he seemed to be able to see Xing Xiushen sitting cross-legged.
"Really? Then we'll wait and see!"
In box number one, Xing Xiushen smiled indifferently and didn't take Su Bai's words to heart at all.
His current strength is only a step away from the divine realm. If he can get help from the next Nine-bearded Ginseng King, he may be able to make further progress. By then, what will Su Bai be of any use?
Amidst everyone's stunned gazes, the host finally dropped the hammer.
This somewhat absurd auction of precious Chinese medicinal herbs has come to an end.
In the VIP room, Maggie Chan personally delivered the 'Black Jade Branch' that looked like a dead branch. After completing the transaction, she respectfully withdrew.
After getting what he wanted, Su Bai was in a very good mood.
"Let's go!"
Tang Qiubai and Shen Daoru stood up and followed, but just as the three of them reached the door, they saw a tall woman in black clothes walking towards them, and behind her was the tall old man.
"You three, please stay!"
Lin Ruoxi walked like the wind, with a heroic air on her beautiful face. She smiled and said to Su Bai, "Excuse me, what are your names?"
Su Bai did not answer, but looked at Lin Boren with a smile: "Mr. Lin, long time no see!"
Lin Boren smiled bitterly, and a complex look flashed in his eyes when he looked at Su Bai.
He had heard that Su Bai had returned from Myanmar before, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.
Lin Ruoxi was slightly stunned when she saw this, and a hint of doubt welled up in her bright eyes: "Second Grandpa, do you know him?"
Lin Boren looked at Su Bai deeply, and the complexity in his eyes became more intense.
"Ruoxi, this is the young master I mentioned to you before—Su Bai, Mr. Su!"
This time, it was Lin Ruoxi's turn to be stunned.
Her face was filled with surprise, and her beautiful eyes held a strange look. She carefully examined Su Bai, then suddenly smiled and extended her hand to Su Bai, saying, "Special Envoy of Zhongzhou Heavenly Palace, Lin Ruoxi!"
"Inspector Su, we finally meet!"
