My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

As the auction progressed, the atmosphere of bidding gradually intensified.

A wide variety of items appeared at the auction, including antiques and rare items such as gemstones; more and more people began to spend lavishly.

During this time, Lin Mo also made a few purchases, all of which were of slightly damaged antiques.

Every move they make is decisive!

After several such instances, the other private rooms also realized that the person in room number one was not short of money. As a result, whenever Lin Mo made a bid, no one would continue to raise the price.

Since we can't compete with them anyway, we might as well do them a favor.

From beginning to end, no one in Box 2 participated in the bidding.

While everyone else was engrossed in the auction atmosphere, only Liu Yun noticed this. She didn't simply assume that the other person hadn't found anything they liked.

No one knows better than her how significant the last item in tonight's auction is.

Meanwhile, in VIP box number two.

Jiang Xiao and Yan Tianzong sat side by side in their private room, where there was no tour guide like Qin Xuan.

Qingyao Xu had originally arranged for someone to help, but Jiang Xiao refused.

His goal in attending this auction was to secure the last item, so he didn't need a guide at all. Besides, the presence of outsiders would interfere with his conversation with Yan Tianzong.

Jiang Xiaoyan poured tea and casually glanced at the auction unfolding on the screen. "Master, is that news really reliable?"

Yan Tianzong picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Second Young Master, the news came from the Old Master, so it should be true."

Jiang Xiao frowned and calmly analyzed, "But Qing Yaoxu has absolutely no need to put this up for auction. Wouldn't it be better to keep it for private use?"

Yan Tianzong shook his head. "To take it for private use? Qing Yaoxu probably doesn't have that kind of power. Since this matter has reached the old man's ears, it can also reach other people."

"Although Qingyao Xu's power is great, it also has several top experts..."

At this point, he chuckled, "But when faced with the covetous eyes of a group of top experts, Qing Yaoxu's few are simply no match."

Jiang Xiao frowned even more deeply. "Even so, Qing Yaoxu should have auctioned this item in the capital. Why did she choose such a small place as Yancheng?"

"why?"

Yan Tianzong stroked his beard and smiled, "Second Young Master, at this time, the Qingyaoxu headquarters in the capital is also holding an auction."

Jiang Xiaotong's pupils dilated in shock. "What?"

In that instant, he thought of many possibilities, but as his thoughts raced, one possibility after another was eliminated, until only one possibility remained.

Yan Tianzong noticed the change in Jiang Xiao's expression, and a hint of relief flashed in the depths of his eyes. He affirmed, "You guessed right. The capital city was just trying to attract attention. Qing Yaoxu knew she couldn't afford to take this, so she auctioned off a large portion in the capital city, while the rest of Yancheng would be consumed on its own."

"This move can not only win favor with the major powers, but also save Qing Yaoxu from disaster, and also obtain a large sum of money. It can be described as killing three birds with one stone."

His voice paused, and the next second, his eyes gleamed. "There are three super-grade families in the capital, so the competition must be extremely fierce. It's unlikely that the old man can snatch food from the mouths of these three super-grade families."

"So, we have to get our hands on that thing!"

That last sentence was resolute!

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Yan Tianzong put down his teacup. "Second Young Master, today is a war without gunpowder. You only need to do one thing: prepare the money!"

Jiang Xiao took out his phone and glanced at the notifications of funds arriving in his account, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Master, since Qing Yaoxu has made these arrangements, she must have prepared sufficient funds. Are we really going to succeed?"

Yan Tianzong patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Qingyaoxu can only use the funds from the Yancheng branch. The funds from the capital headquarters and other branches have already been frozen by the three major families and many first-class families. Their purpose is to make Qingyaoxu withdraw from this competition."

"After all, with the wealth that Qing Yaoxu has accumulated over the years, it is probably impossible for any of the three super-grade families to compare."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao instantly relaxed a lot. "Qingyao Xu thinks it can swallow that thing just by relying on this branch in Yancheng? That's too naive!"

Seeing Jiang Xiao regain his usual confident demeanor, Yan Tianzong laughed, "So, tonight we can only succeed, we can't fail. If we use that item properly, it's not impossible to add another family to the ranks of the super-grade families."

Upon hearing Yan Tianzong's last words, Jiang Xiao shuddered. He clenched his fist tightly and revealed a smile that bordered on arrogance.

"In a small place like Yancheng, who dares to compete with me in terms of wealth?"

Chapter 273 Extraordinary Fruits

Inside VIP Box Number One.

After noticing that the second VIP room had not participated in the bidding, a look of worry appeared deep in Liu Yun's eyes.

As she was thinking, she took out her phone and pretended to answer a call. She stood up and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll be right there."

She put away her phone and gave Lin Shu an apologetic smile. "Sister Lin, there were some minor issues with the later items in the auction. I'll go take a look. You two can continue playing. If the kids see anything they like, just bid, and I'll reimburse you."

Lin Shu bowed, "Go and do your work."

Liu Yun nodded and quickly walked out of the private room.

The moment the door to the private room closed, Lin Shu's eyes became somewhat meaningful.

Just now, when Liu Yun answered the phone, she happened to twist her neck and saw that Liu Yun's phone screen was black.

Telephone?

It's just an excuse!

However, she didn't take it to heart.

For Qingyaoxu, nothing is more important than the auction, and as the branch manager of Qingyaoxu's Yancheng branch, Liu Jun naturally has many things to handle during the auction.

What puzzled Lin Shu was Liu Yun's actions. Based on her understanding of Liu Yun, under normal circumstances, if Liu Yun really had something to deal with, she should have told her the truth. But Liu Yun chose to lie.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Perhaps... it's for that thing!

Lin Shu took a sip of tea and looked at Qin Xuan on the left side of the screen. "Little Qin, there's no need for further explanation here. You can go and rest."

Qin Xuan bowed to the three of them and left quietly.

She doesn't need to ask the reasons for the customer's request; she just needs to comply.

After Qin Xuan left, only the family of three remained in the private room... Although not yet, they will be sooner or later.

Lin Shu glanced at the doorway, got up, walked around the table, and sat down next to her son on his right. "Xiao Mo, we've already auctioned off four or five damaged antiques. Don't participate in the auction anymore."

"why?"

Lin Mo, puzzled, held up the black card in his hand, "Mom, this card can..."

“Your master told me.”

Lin Shu waved his hand to interrupt, his eyes full of meaning, "The highlight of this auction is at the end, so we need to conserve as much funds as possible before then, so that we can have a greater advantage in the final bidding."

She naturally knew the news that Jiang Xiao knew.

When she last spoke to her father about the body-shaping cream, he mentioned it briefly and even prepared a huge sum of money for her.

She brought her son and An Youyu to Yancheng to attend Qingyao Xu's auction, ostensibly to bid on some damaged antiques for An Youyu to practice on, but her real purpose was that one item.

"The highlight?"

Lin Mo was taken aback, scratching his head in confusion, "What's the highlight?"

Lin Shu didn't hide anything. The auction was already halfway through, and the item would be announced soon, so there was no harm in telling her son in advance.

She rarely showed a serious expression, "An extraordinary fruit."

"A supernatural fruit?"

"A supernatural fruit?"

Both Lin Mo and An Youyu were completely baffled upon hearing this unfamiliar name.

Lin Shu was not surprised by this. "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. This kind of thing only exists in legends. I don't know much about it either. I only know that this thing grows in the crevices of magma and fire hundreds of meters underground and has extremely strict requirements for temperature environment."

"Since the Xia calendar era, only one such fruit has ever appeared, making it extremely rare."

After hearing his mother's explanation, Lin Mo's curiosity grew stronger. "Mom, what's the use of this so-called extraordinary fruit?"

"As far as I know, the extraordinary fruit only has one effect."

"what?"

"To enable a level 10 martial artist to break through to the extraordinary realm."

In an instant, Lin Mo's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up from the sofa. "This...is it real?"

Although he hasn't been learning martial arts for long, he has Duan Ya, the former number one on the Red List, as his master, and a master who is also quite talkative, so he has a considerable understanding of the ancient martial arts world.

Currently, a level 10 martial artist represents peak combat power!

Looking across the entire Xia Kingdom, the number of level 10 martial artists has not even reached three digits.

In other words, this existence represents the foundation of all major powers.

As for the extraordinary realm, Lin Mo had heard Duan Ya mention it briefly when he was practicing martial arts not long ago.

According to Duanya, since the Xia Dynasty, no one has ever broken through the shackles of a level ten martial artist to become an extraordinary being.

In other words, once a level 10 martial artist breaks through to the extraordinary realm, it will mean that the current balance between the major forces will be broken, and the landscape of the ancient martial arts world will undergo a major reshuffle.

In contrast, An Youyu was unfamiliar with the world of ancient martial arts, so she barely reacted after hearing Lin Shu's explanation.

Seeing Lin Mo's loss of composure, she wasn't stupid; she instantly understood the importance of the extraordinary fruit.

"Auntie, are martial artists in the Transcendent Realm very powerful?"

"Of course!"

When An Youyu asked about this, Lin Shu patiently explained, "Yu'er, since the beginning of the Xia calendar, no martial artist has ever broken through to the extraordinary level. The strongest one is only a level ten martial artist who cultivates both qi and blood."

An Youyu nodded as if she understood, and asked again, "Is there a big difference between a level 10 martial artist who cultivates both qi and blood and a transcendent martial artist?"

"big!"

Lin Shu's tone was extremely certain. After speaking, she gave a wry smile, "Auntie is not a practitioner of ancient martial arts, so she can't say for sure how big the gap is, but your Uncle Duan... oh no, I should call you Master now."

"Your master once told me that a level ten martial artist who cultivates both qi and blood is completely incomparable to a transcendent martial artist; the two are worlds apart!"

An Youyu nodded gently, then her face showed even more confusion. "Auntie, didn't you say before that there was once a transcendent fruit? Why did you say that no martial artist has ever reached the realm of a transcendent martial artist? Isn't a transcendent fruit supposed to help a level ten martial artist break through to the transcendent realm?"

Lin Mo chimed in, "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of asking."

Nothing in this world is absolute.
