I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Chu Yang nodded to the host on stage and said, "Fifty billion! Let's bring the hammer down!"

The audience was silent.

The host froze for a long time before finally bringing down the gavel.

Perhaps his body was somewhat out of control, the handle of the mallet snapped with a "crack".

Chu Hai frowned and looked at Chu Yang in disbelief.

"You...do you really have that much money?"

Chu Yang shrugged: "What's it to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man rushed over from the backstage area.

"Sir, our boss would like to invite you to his office for a chat."

Chu Yang nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

He arrived alone in a luxurious office.

A woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face sat in the heavy boss's chair.

Her mature and charming face carried a hint of mischief.

"Mr. Chu, please have a seat! I am Song Min, the owner of Baoyuan Auction House."

Chu Yang smiled and nodded in greeting: "Hello, President Song!"

"Mr. Chu, there's no need for such formalities. Your purchase of the Soul-Gathering Flower at an exorbitant price has brought me a great profit. After you make the payment, I must extend my hospitality."

As soon as Song Min finished speaking, a young and beautiful waitress entered from outside the door, carrying a gilded tray to Chu Yang.

"Sir, will you be paying by card or bank transfer?"

Chu Yang smiled and waved his hand: "I don't swipe cards or transfer money!"

Song Min didn't seem surprised and took a sip of her coffee.

"Mr. Chu, are you perhaps trying to bully a weak woman like me?"

Before he could finish speaking, four Grandmaster-level experts walked in from outside the door, glaring angrily at Chu Yang.

This made Chu Yang realize that Song Min was no ordinary woman, and he secretly sighed that the provincial capital was indeed full of hidden talents, far superior to Donghai.

Song Min glared at those people with annoyance.

"How rude! Step back!"

Song Min smiled as she stood up, poured Chu Yang a cup of coffee, leaned her shapely buttocks against the edge of the table, and looked at Chu Yang with a radiant smile.

"Mr. Chu, please share your thoughts."

The auction continued, but no one was really interested in bidding. Many people were telling those who had arrived late what had just happened.

Everyone is now speculating whether Chu Yang can come up with 5 billion.

Although Song Min is beautiful and has a sweet voice, she has always been known for her ruthlessness.

If he can't produce the money, Chu Yang's fate will surely be a tragedy.

Chu Song said with a worried expression, "Big brother, even if Xiao Yang is a scoundrel, he's still a member of the Chu family. Should we...?"

Chu Hai waved his hand: "It's all his own fault. If nothing unexpected happens, the Soul Gathering Flower will be auctioned off again in a little while. I'd like to see who can compete with me for 300 million."

About an hour later, a loud wind and engine noise suddenly came from outside.

Someone glanced outside and exclaimed in surprise:

"How come there are armed helicopters?"

"Ah, whose daughter is this? She's simply...so beautiful!"

"Huh? What are the soldiers sending to the backyard?"

The manager was leading a beautiful woman in a pale white dress, followed by two soldiers carrying a heavy-looking box.

Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the woman who was so beautiful she seemed otherworldly.

Not long after, the manager rushed onto the auction stage, wiping his sweat as he apologized to everyone present.

"I apologize for affecting everyone's auction experience today. Mr. Song said that as long as everyone is patient and waits for an hour, it will definitely be worthwhile."

Everyone was completely confused by what he said.

But everyone has to admit that Song Min is a person who always keeps her word.

So everyone decided to make the best of it and see what would happen.

Just then, a pretty waitress approached the group and bowed respectfully.

"Miss Lü, Miss Lin, Mr. Chu requests that you two come over."

Lu Sisi was so flattered that she almost jumped up from her chair.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

As she pulled Lin Xiaoman around, she arrogantly raised her chin at Tangtang, her expression quite provocative.

Tangtang rolled her eyes: "Tch! What's so special about that? Uncle already got me two Grandmasters..."

Before she could finish speaking, she quickly covered her mouth, almost letting slip that Chu Yang could separate the essence of a Grandmaster.

Shen Yunwan frowned and pressed, "Tangtang, what did you just say Chu Yang got you two things?"

"Ah...no, it's nothing. I...I was just talking nonsense."

Shen Yunwan narrowed her phoenix eyes and her gaze shifted.

Nearly an hour later, Chu Hai called the manager over.

"When will the Soul Gathering Flower be put up for auction again? I need to get back to the capital in time."

The manager was visibly taken aback: "Mr. Chu Yang did not authorize us to auction the Soul Gathering Flower."

"What... what did you say? Chu Yang paid five billion?"

"Ah... well, I'm not sure either, but our CEO Song has already given the Soul Gathering Flower to Mr. Chu Yang."

After the manager finished speaking, he left.

Chu Song's eyes darted around. "Big brother, it was just that I was quick enough to inform the family that we were going to take the Soul Gathering Flower back with us."

Chu Hai was so angry he was panting heavily: "You're usually so careful, how could you be so reckless this time?"

Chu Song explained with a bitter face, "After listening to my brother's analysis just now, I thought... sigh, it's all my fault."

Chu Hai was momentarily speechless and could no longer continue to berate Chu Song.

I was certain that the Soul Gathering Flower would be auctioned again.

He now feels like he's being roasted over a fire.

If we can't get the Soul-Gathering Flower back, we'll become a laughing stock.

Just as his mind was racing, the manager jogged onto the stage.

"Distinguished guests, Mr. Song has just received a commission to sell True Essence Pills."

The crowd immediately erupted in uproar.

True Essence Pills are definitely a hard currency in the martial arts world, but very few can be circulated on the market.

These wealthy tycoons often have children who practice martial arts. Even if they don't, they can give these children away, and no one would dislike them.

The manager smiled and took out a crystal-clear pill, as clear as glass.

The pill was immediately projected onto the big screen.

"My God! This...this is a top-grade True Essence Pill?"

"As expected of Baoyuan Auction House, they can even get their hands on such top-tier items. I'll take this one!"

"I...I...my son is breaking through to the Transformation Realm, I want this one no matter the price! Nobody else can take it!"

In an instant, everyone went crazy and almost all of them stood up.

Poor scholars, rich warriors!

On the path of martial arts, having a wealthy family is undoubtedly a good prerequisite if you want to get ahead and be superior to others.

The manager quickly gestured for everyone to calm down.

"President Song said that everyone should raise the money as soon as possible."

This statement, however, made everyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Although top-grade True Essence Pills are rare, they are still available and have a market.

Generally speaking, the starting price is 50 million, and the maximum will not exceed 150 million.

People here can easily pull out a hundred million or two.

"Hey! Are you looking down on us?"

"Exactly! It's just a top-grade True Essence Pill, are you afraid we can't afford it?"

The manager smiled and said, "Please be patient, everyone."

As he spoke, he waved to the backstage area.

Eight graceful and sweet-looking women, each carrying a gilded tray, swayed and walked onto the stage.

At that moment, a strong feeling of suffocation washed over them, and everyone's faces turned red as they struggled to breathe...

"This...this is impossible...Am I seeing things?"
