At 7pm on September 30th, Hall 5 of Longteng Hotel.
The entire hall was as bright as day and was bustling with people. Wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, and young ladies from wealthy families were all dressed up in suits and chatting with others, or were drinking and chatting gracefully in formal attire.
Xiao Zhengyang was followed by his bodyguard and his two children, who were observing every stranger who appeared, hoping to find an expert in alchemy.
Seeing Qin Zhennan leading people into the venue, various warm greetings came from wherever he passed. Xiao Zhengyang led people to greet him with a big smile:
"Mr. Qin is finally here. Xiao was worried that the old man would not attend tonight, but now he is finally at ease."
What kind of person is Qin Zhennan? He has seen countless intrigues and intrigues throughout his life. He is like a mirror in his heart. He knows that Xiao Zhengyang said he was worried about his absence, but in fact he most wished that he would be absent, so that he would have one less competitor.
He replied calmly: "Qin Mou is old. Unlike Dr. Xiao who is in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period, he is inevitably slower in his actions. Mr. Xiao is thinking about me and is very grateful. Tonight is such a grand event, and I can see the master of alchemy again."
Qin Mou has to come and see the true face of people in Lushan no matter what."
"Mr. Qin looks very strong." Xiao Zhengyang responded with a smile.
Suddenly, he looked behind Mr. Qin and said in surprise: "Vice Mayor Chu actually brought someone here again."
When Qin Zhennan heard this, he turned around, looked at Chu Hongyuan who was walking over, and hurried forward a few steps to shake hands and greet him: "I didn't expect that Vice Mayor Chu also came here specially. I'm glad to meet you."
"I have admired Mr. Qin for a long time. Last time I came with my friends to join in the fun, but I didn't find a suitable opportunity to greet Mr. Qin. I hope you won't be offended by the large number of people." Chu Hongyuan held Qin Zhennan's hand very politely.
After exchanging a few greetings with Xiao Zhengyang who came forward, he led two young men in his thirties behind him to sit in the front row.
The auction has not officially started yet, so people are coming and going, drinking, talking, and connecting with each other are inevitable.
Especially on occasions like this, where celebrities and wealthy people from all walks of life are present, they will also pay attention to the personal connections of their competitors so that they can know what they are doing in the future.
Zhao Yue's mother, Huang Jing, is here tonight. In the past, she was too far away from these top celebrities, so she didn't dare to make friends rashly to avoid arousing disgust and boredom.
In the past month, I have received attention and proactive overtures from various parties from time to time. I have a pillow when I doze off, and I am constantly walking among people, enriching my personal connections, and it can be said that I am prosperous.
No matter who I am facing, the other person is very enthusiastic. I know in my heart that this relationship is due to my son, and I am filled with emotions.
Xiao Zixuan and her younger brother also walked around holding wine glasses and chatting with people they knew well.
At eight o'clock sharp, the female host came on stage, and the noise in the hall slowly disappeared, and soon there was silence.
In addition to the stage, the surrounding lights also dimmed slightly, and the auction began.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the auction tonight." The hostess announced crisply and melodiously. She had changed into a bright red cheongsam today, and Pingping Tingting stood in the front center.
"Today's first auction item, a blue and white long-necked porcelain vase, has a base price of 3 million yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 100,000 yuan..." Following the voice of the female host, each of the auction items was sold at a high price.
Different from the last time, this time the items were sold one by one, and the people who sold them were all relatively low-ranking people. The top families actually did not participate at all.
Time slowly came to ten o'clock in the evening. After an item was sold, before the hostess could speak again, someone from a table in the second row shouted loudly: "Why hasn't the auction of elixirs started yet? We, the King of Medicines,
Zong Ke doesn’t have that much time to waste time.”
"That's right, we are here for the elixir..."
"There's usually no shortage of opportunities for antiques, calligraphy and painting, etc., but I'm not interested today..."
"Let's get started, I can't wait..."
Following the voice of the Yaowang Sect man, people around him kept echoing. When the host saw this situation, he said "I'm sorry, everyone" and then stepped off the stage to ask the person in charge of the purchase.
Soon the host appeared on the stage again and said slowly: "Dear guests, I just asked the person in charge. In view of your demands, the elixir auction will be held immediately. The first auction is 10 groups of shaping elixirs, each group of three.
The base price is 300,000, for the first group, please start bidding."
Unexpectedly, the men from Yaowang Sect were still dissatisfied, and shouted impatiently: "We don't care about the shaping pill, please hurry up and let the alchemist come out."
The female host looked calm and said calmly: "This... distinguished guest from Yaowang Sect, the elixir auction is now, please don't disturb the order."
Various voices of agreement, discussion and dissatisfaction came from the audience: "Yes, you wanted to auction the elixir first, and they did it, and then came out to cause trouble..."
"Yao Wang Sect, I've never heard of it..."
"The people of Yaowang Sect are really getting more and more crazy."
The person next to the man lowered his head and came closer, reminding him in a low voice, "Junior brother, wait patiently and don't make trouble." He then calmed down in annoyance.
The shaping pills began to be auctioned in groups, and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life competed to buy them. The lowest transaction price was 550,000. Soon the auction of ten groups of shaping pills ended.
The female host paused for a moment and excitedly introduced to the audience: "As a woman, I am salivating after seeing the elixirs that will be auctioned below. I only hate that I am short of money. I won't go into small talk. What's next?
The auction item is three beauty pills.
After a woman takes it, she can keep her appearance and stay youthful forever. The base price of each pill is 10 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 1 million. Bidding starts for the first beauty pill."
There was a loud "boom" in the audience. The rich ladies and ladies, apart from being a little surprised and confused at first, then their faces turned red with excitement. They wished they could get the elixir immediately and drink it, and they all spoke one after another.
"Wow, you're not dreaming, are you? The Beauty Pill, the eternal youth..."
"My dear, I, I, I want this elixir, and I want to stay young forever with you..." A young and beautiful woman was shaking her man's arm excitedly and screaming.
"Dad, I don't want the sports car, the bag, or the pocket money. I want this beauty pill..." The daughter of a wealthy family began to negotiate coquettishly with her father, her lover in her previous life.
The people from Yaowang Sect said in disbelief: "Zhuyan Dan? Impossible. Someone can actually refine Zhuyan Dan. It's absolutely impossible."
No wonder they were surprised and confused, no one had successfully refined the Zhuyan Dan recipe circulated and recorded in the sect for nearly a thousand years, and all sects throughout the ages thought it was just a legend.
Several other sects were so shocked that they chatted privately in low voices, but they could not stop everyone from bidding enthusiastically for the Zhuyan Pill.
"Fifteen million!"
"Sixteen million!"
"Eighteen million!"
"Nineteen million!"
"Twenty-one million!"
"Twenty-two million!"
"I'll give you 30 million!" A tall, muscular man shouted loudly.
He said sweetly to the sexy woman wearing heavy makeup next to him: "Don't worry, honey, I will definitely buy you this one to keep you young forever."
Thirty million was already three times higher than the reserve price. Others gave up bidding temporarily and planned to wait and see. The first pill was obtained by this man.
When the host saw the woman taking the Beauty Pill, she was so excited that she wanted to take it right away. She smiled and suggested: "This beautiful lady, if you need to take the Beauty Pill now, we have a quiet room ready."
, you may need to take a bath after taking the elixir."
The woman took the elixir and was about to swallow it immediately. After hearing the reminder, she said a few words to the man next to her and hurriedly followed the staff and left.
