Chapter 115, 1 strange grass
"I didn't say that."
Lin Yu shrugged, smiled contemptuously, walked straight past Jin Kui and returned to his seat.
Han Qinyan frowned at this time, and said coquettishly in Jin Kui's arms: "Husband, look how arrogant he is! You can't let him go!"
Jin Kui sneered and said, "Humph! Don't worry, I'm here today, and I won't let him buy any of the items!"
"Let him see who is really weak!"
In the brightly lit auction hall, the sound of light footsteps was heard, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
I saw a woman in cheongsam walking gracefully to the podium.
Her cheongsam was made of the finest silk, with delicate floral and bird patterns embroidered on the light blue background, and the silk threads shimmered softly under the light.
The cheongsam fits her graceful curves tightly, showing off her slender waist and long legs.
Her neckline just revealed a small piece of fair skin, as smooth as mutton-fat jade.
Her face is delicate and her facial features are like carefully carved works of art.
A pair of bright eyes are like the twinkling stars in the night sky, deep and charming.
Under the high nose bridge, the delicate red lips are slightly raised, revealing a confident and charming smile.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant: "Dear guests, welcome to Yunhai Auction. On this special night, we gather together to witness a feast of art and treasures. I am Shishi, the host of tonight, and it is my honor to serve you."
Her every move and every look is full of professional charm. Her every gesture is full of elegance and calmness, as if she is the queen of the stage, controlling everything.
"In the following days, we will present you with a series of rare treasures in the world. I believe that you will definitely find the treasure that moves your heart here."
Her words were full of passion and temptation, making everyone present eager to start this wonderful auction journey.
"Let me introduce the first lot, a blue and white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty!"
After that, a piece of exquisite porcelain appeared in front of everyone.
"This porcelain is backed by our Yunhai Auction House. If it's fake, we'll compensate you tenfold! So please feel free to bid!"
"The starting price is 500,000! Each bid increase must not be less than 10,000. The bidding begins!"
As soon as Shishi finished speaking, everyone started bidding fiercely.
"Half a million!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
Soon, this piece of Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain was auctioned for 1.8 million yuan.
Lin Yu had no interest in these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and dozed off in his chair.
Hu Zhentian said, "Generally speaking, the first items sold at an auction are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are mainly sold to ordinary wealthy businessmen. The items needed by ancient warriors are basically sold in the second half."
Lin Yu nodded slightly.
After bidding on dozens of boring items, the second half finally arrived.
Shishi on the stage smiled and said, "Next, this lot is a little special. It is a unique medicinal herb! The reason why it is unique is that no one knows it. So far, no similar medicinal herb has been found on the earth. It can be said to be the only one in the world!"
"Here! Present the exotic medicinal herbs!"
Then, a dead medicinal herb appeared in front of everyone.
This medicinal herb has a strange shape and is dead, without any moisture.
Its appearance immediately made the scene lively.
"What's going on? How can a herb whose efficacy we don't even know be put up for auction?"
"Did this medicinal material come in through the back door?"
"Who would bid for something like this? Anyone who bids is a fool!"
Everyone at the scene was dismissive of this medicinal herb, and no one even thought of bidding for it.
At this time, Lin Yu became interested in this medicinal herb.
Lin Yu recognized that this was not a medicinal herb, it was clearly a small sapling!
That’s right, it’s a sapling!
And it’s a sapling from the period of cultivating immortals!
The reason why Lin Yu recognized the origin of this sapling was because he felt a trace of spiritual energy emanating from the sapling!
In this era, anything that exudes spiritual energy is worth a lot of money!
This little sapling will definitely be of great use!
Lin Yu immediately became interested.
At this time, Shishi said: "The starting price of this medicinal herb is one million! Each bid increase must not be less than ten thousand! The auction begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one in the entire venue made a bid.
Seeing this, Shishi felt a little embarrassed.
"Is there no one interested in this herb? It's the only one of its kind in the world!"
"As the saying goes, the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Don't you want to buy some and study the effects of this herb?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wealthy businessmen in the audience all smiled mockingly.
Those who can sit here are all smart people. How could they be fooled by Shishi’s few words?
They will never buy anything that is of no use to them!
Shishi sighed at this moment. This item had been auctioned many times at various auctions in China, but it failed to sell every time.
This is the last bid for this item. If no one buys it, it will be returned directly.
"Hurry up! No one wants this! Get the next one!"
One person urged impatiently.
Shishi also gave up her expectations for this item and was about to withdraw it when she saw Lin Yu raise his hand in the crowd.
"I want it, one million!"
As soon as Lin Yu made a bid, everyone looked at Lin Yu.
That look, that gaze, was like looking at a fool.
Everyone wanted to see who would buy such a useless thing.
Shishi was delighted when she heard this: "It seems that there are still people here who have discerning eyes! This gentleman bid one million! Is there anyone who bids higher than this gentleman?"
Looking at Shishi, it seemed as if she was afraid that Lin Yu would go back on his word.
Everyone at the scene laughed and sneered, and no one continued to bid.
"Who would buy this? Is this guy crazy? Spending a million dollars on a useless piece of tree bark?"
"That's right! Whoever buys it is a fool!"
But at this moment, Jin Kui just raised his hand lightly.
Jin Kui said arrogantly: "I'll pay two million!"
Wow!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Jin Kui.
Jin Kui hugged Han Qinyan and said domineeringly: "I have no interest in this piece of bark! But I am very interested in this boy!"
"This guy said I don't have the ability, but I, Jin Kui, am here to say this: I'm here! He won't be able to take away any of the items!"
After that, Jin Kui looked at Lin Yu provocatively, with mockery in his eyes.
Lin Yu had no expression on his face and continued to raise his hand: "Two and a half million!"
