After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

Realizing that Lin Shasha would not bid again, Jiang Hu completely broke down.

He stomped his foot hard, causing the entire hall to shake. He roared at Lin Shasha and Ye Chen with bloodshot eyes, like a raging beast.

"You two little brats, if you've got the guts, keep bidding, otherwise I'll look down on you!"

He's already like this, how could Lin Shasha not understand what's going on?

"Hahaha... This is hilarious! You spent 5.4 billion, and you didn't actually buy a piece of junk, did you?"

Lin Shasha clutched her stomach as she walked out of the private room, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

At that moment, she felt that all the grievances and frustrations she had suffered earlier were released all at once.

Ye Chen also joined in, gesturing wildly and making faces at Jiang Hu and his group.

"You big idiots, you big idiots, you're all a bunch of fools."

"Oh, this..."

Those present were speechless upon hearing this.

Is there anything more tragic than being mocked as an idiot by an idiot?

Thinking of this, many people burst into laughter.

After all, Jiang Hu's identity as an underground emperor wasn't exactly honorable in the open, and there were many people who disliked him.

"Alright, since no one is willing to continue bidding, then it'll be 5.4 billion once, 5.4 billion..."

"If you've got the guts, then become monks!"

"Five billion, three times, sold!"

"Congratulations to Jiang Hu for successfully bidding on the most important item of this auction, the Bodhi cushion!"

"Clap clap clap..."

The beautiful female host, dressed in traditional Chinese style, led the applause, and the entire hall erupted in applause.

Unfortunately, these applause sounded like needles pricking Jiang Hu's heart, more painful than death itself.

"Ye Chen, Lin Shasha, you two just wait!"

"Heh, you'd better take your tattered cushion and get back to the dark corner. I'm not afraid of you."

Lin Shasha's family has military connections; even if Jiang Hu had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to act openly.

As for the behind-the-scenes competition, that depends on each person's abilities.

Having spent 5.4 billion to buy a worthless piece of junk, Jiang Hu was too ashamed to stay any longer. He snorted coldly and left.

After he left, the Ancient Pavilion immediately became noisy.

"Old Wu, please tell us quickly, what exactly happened?"

Old Wu sighed. Since it had already happened, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

After this incident, Jiang Hu will most likely not let him go, so he has to pack his things and run away as soon as possible. Even if he tells the truth, it won't matter.

Upon hearing that the meditation cushion not only had no effect on calming the mind but was also poisonous and could numb the nerves, Lin Shasha's face turned deathly pale with fright.

She couldn't imagine the disastrous consequences if she actually bought the futon and gave it to Ye Chen.

Remembering Ye Chen's strong dissuasion to stop her from bidding, she immediately turned to look at Ye Chen, her eyes full of scrutiny.

"Brother Chen, tell me honestly, did you already realize that the futon was poisonous just now? So you were just pretending to be stupid, right?"

Ye Chen smiled bitterly to himself. It seems that pretending to be a fool is not easy!

You might be able to fool others, but those around you will eventually discover the truth through some details.

He will find an opportunity to tell the truth to some people, including Sun Shasha and Gu Ning, but not now.

"That cushion is prickly, it's not fun. Besides, I'm not stupid, those big bad guys were the stupid ones. If you call Ah Chen stupid again, Ah Chen will get angry and never play with you again!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he crossed his arms, turned his head to the side, and pouted, posing as if he wanted to break off his friendship with Lin Shasha.

Seeing this, Lin Shasha panicked and had no time to think. She quickly ran a few steps and hugged him, comforting him by calling him "good brother" repeatedly.

With Jiang Hu gone, the show was over. Although there were still four or five items to be bid on, the crowd showed little interest.

Especially noteworthy is the broken gourd that appeared next, completely black with several cracks, which was said to have been found alongside the futon.

Gu Fangge had originally planned to capitalize on the popularity of the Bodhi Futon to sell it for a good price, but now even if they paid out of pocket, the people present wouldn't be interested.

The starting bid of 50 million yuan plummeted to just one yuan, and even then, no one made a bid.

That prayer mat is poisonous; who knows if this broken gourd is also poisonous?

But Ye Chen stared intently at it, sensing a rich spiritual energy emanating from it.

After a moment, he made a guess: the gourd must have been used to hold pills, and a large amount of pill residue remained inside the gourd, which is why it was full of spiritual energy.

"Buy that gourd, buy that gourd, I need it to hold water to drink."

He held Lin Shasha's hand, looking very anxious.

"Um, that gourd might be poisonous!"

Lin Shasha tried to persuade him, but Ye Chen was adamant, so she could only shake her head and buy it for ten yuan.

at the same time.

As Jiang Hu walked out of the Ancient Fang Pavilion, his face was as cold as ice. He picked up the phone and called Zheng Xiang.

"Young Master Zheng, 5.5 billion. I'll wipe out the Ye family and everyone who supports them. Do you want it or not?"

"Five billion, that's too much, isn't it? I need to ask my dad."

Zheng Xiang hung up the phone and immediately asked Zheng Runxiang, the head of the Zheng family, for his opinion.

After a moment's thought, Zheng Runxiang agreed to the condition.

Although such a large sum of money is a huge drain on the Zheng family, if they can truly eliminate those who support the Ye family, it will be enough to deter the Ye family's die-hard loyalists hiding in the shadows and perfectly complete the task assigned above.

He will surely receive a reward from Longdu, and the Zheng family's rise to prominence is just around the corner.

Thinking about it this way, over five billion isn't so bad.

Having received the Zheng family's reply and the advance payment of one billion yuan, Jiang Hu revealed a ferocious and terrifying smile.

Cai Hongchang, the number two figure in the Black Tiger Gang, had already come up with a plan.

He raised an eyebrow and addressed the crowd.

"We can start by targeting Gu Ning. The Gu family is now the Ye family's biggest supporter, and this young woman is the bridge that will connect the two families."

"If we kidnap her, we can not only extort a hefty sum from the Gu and Ye families, but also completely sever the alliance between them!"

"Alright, do as Hongchang says. All of you keep a close eye on that woman. Make your move the moment she's alone."

After saying that, he glanced at the Ancient Fang Pavilion behind him, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth.

"You fool from the Ye family, I'll make you watch your wife suffer humiliation and die before your eyes, to avenge this day!"

"Haha, we've been wanting to taste what the most beautiful woman in Jiangcheng is like!"

"Hahaha......"

A group of his underlings burst into laughter.

Inside the Ancient Pavilion, the auction ended, and Ye Chen and Lin Shasha obtained the gourd.

Ye Chen smelled the aroma inside the gourd, and his eyes lit up immediately. This gourd had actually been used to store Breakthrough Pills.

As the name suggests, the Breakthrough Pill can help martial artists break through their cultivation level.

As for the realm that can be broken through, it depends on the grade of the elixir.

According to his speculation, this gourd once contained the most advanced Breakthrough Pill, which could help a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster break through to the Core Formation Realm.

Although there were only some medicinal residues left on the inner wall, it was enough to help Lin Shasha break through to the Qi Refining Grandmaster without any problem.

Thinking of this, he poured a cup of water into the gourd, shook it twice, and handed it to Lin Shasha.

"Sasha, drink some water."
