Chapter 2344 - 2343: Who Says I’m Here to Bid?
Chapter 2344: Chapter 2343: Who Says I’m Here to Bid?
At this moment, the auction had completely reached its conclusion.
The item now up for bidding was the finale item, the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree!
The host introduced, "This Millennium Encounter Spring Tree is the foundation of our Jianyu Family’s fortune. Our Jiandomain Shrine has the world’s only Feng Chun Wood forest."
"The Feng Chun Tree in front of you has a tree age of three thousand years. Whether used to refine Deadwood Dan or other Dan medicines, it is an invaluable top-quality raw material."
"Even if not used for alchemy, brewing its branches into soup is comparable to some elixirs that prolong life. Even those afflicted with cancer, after drinking the soup made from its branches, though it can’t be said to completely cure cancer, can at least prolong life by five years..."
Many tycoons had come precisely for this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree. After hearing this, they all became excited.
Guo Hai also became excited and said, "Xin’er, we must win this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree in the auction."
Guo Xin nodded, "If we win it and have grandpa drink the soup brewed from its branches, it could extend his life by at least five years."
"If he can live for another five years, then I will support you to take up the position of Family Head of the Guo Family," Guo Hai said.
The two were very excited, thinking that as long as they won this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree, Guo Hai could achieve ’withered wood rejuvenate’.
At this moment, the host said, "Now, the bidding officially begins."
"The starting price for the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree is one billion (currency unit), and each bid increment must not be less than 50 million!"
Wow!
As soon as this was said, a group of people exclaimed in surprise and couldn’t help but start discussing.
"A starting price of one billion, it’s so expensive."
"The Millennium Encounter Spring Tree is inherently incredibly precious, and a starting price of one billion is considered cheap. To actually win it, it would at least be ten times the starting price."
"Indeed, even for the Jianyu Family, they don’t often auction off this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree. After all, this is a tree that has grown for a thousand years, cut one and there’s one less."
"A thousand years to grow one, and its effects are so defiant of nature. The starting price of one billion is truly not expensive."
"..."
The people present were either wealthy or noble, and even with a starting price of one billion, most found it acceptable.
Guo Xin was the first one to bid: "One billion and fifty million!"
As soon as she called this price, a tycoon from Yinghua Country mockingly said, "Only increasing by 50 million? You dare call yourself a tycoon?"
"I bid 1.5 billion!"
This bid made Guo Xin’s face turn pale. Her excitement faded away instantly, as she suddenly realized that this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree wasn’t something they could win just because they wanted to.
Many tycoons at the scene were determined to get it.
At this moment, the price continued to soar.
"1.8 billion!"
"2 billion!"
"2.3 billion!"
"..."
"10 billion!"
"..."
The price quickly soared to 10 billion. However, at this moment, Lin Dong still hadn’t made a bid.
Beside him, Toyotomi Quyin couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Ye, aren’t you bidding?"
Lin Dong shook his head.
Seeing this, Toyotomi Quyin asked in confusion, "Mr. Ye, isn’t your target this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree? Why aren’t you bidding now?"
Lin Dong laughingly said, "Although it’s my target, who said I have to bid for it?"
Toyotomi Quyin was taken aback, even more puzzled.
"Mr. Ye, I don’t understand what you mean?"
Lin Dong said, "I plan to simply rob it! I don’t want to spend even a single penny!"
Toyotomi Quyin: "..."
She finally understood Lin Dong’s meaning.
Her eyes sparkled as she thought to herself, "Yes, with the master’s strength, why adhere to the Jianyu Family’s rules? Why bother bidding? Just take it by force!"
The price of the Millennium Encounter Spring Wood was still rising.
In a short time, it had climbed from 10 billion to 12 billion.
Guo Xin said, "Grandpa, what should we do? This Millennium Encounter Spring Tree is too popular, we can’t get it with 10 billion."
"We don’t have that much cash flow; should we continue bidding?"
Guo Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! This is my life-prolonging medicine, of course we have to continue bidding. Even if it costs 30 billion, we must bid for it."
Hearing this, Guo Xin nodded and continued to bid.
At this time, Ken’iki Kaede had been watching in Lin Dong’s direction, noticing that Lin Dong hadn’t bid at all.
Originally, he had arranged for someone to compete with him, but now it seems this plan has also fallen through.
"This Ye Wuyou hasn’t bid on anything from start to finish. What exactly is he here for? Could it be that his target isn’t the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree?"
Lin Dong hadn’t made a bid, baffling Ken’iku Kaede.
"20 billion!"
The price of the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree had been raised to 20 billion. This was already an astronomical price.
A 20 billion tree, it seemed there had never been a tree as expensive as this.
Yet this still hadn’t reached its limit.
Some people continued to bid.
At this moment, Lin Dong stood up and pointed at the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree, saying, "Everyone, no need to raise the price, I, Ye Wuyou, want this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree!"
Wow!
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar among the crowd.
And Ken’iki Kaede also stood up and said, "Ye Wuyou, if you want it, then raise the price; the highest bidder wins."
Lin Dong shook his head and said, "I want it, but I don’t want to spend money!"
Upon hearing this, Ken’iki Kaede and his men turned black in the face.
Wanting the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree but not wanting to spend money, was he planning to rob it?
Was he addicted to robbing?
Earlier, you seized a Dragon Country artifact, which you could say was originally yours.
But this Millennium Encounter Spring Tree is truly the Jianyu Family’s, it wasn’t something their ancestors took from Dragon Country.
"Ye, don’t go too far. Do you want to rob things from our Jianyu Family too?" At this moment, a Jianyu Family martial artist couldn’t stand it and directly spoke out.
Lin Dong said, "I’m taking it, so what can you do to me?"
With that said, Lin Dong’s figure instantly appeared on the high platform.
The woman host was stunned with fear; she had never encountered such a situation before.
She hurriedly said, "You... you dare!"
She was quite courageous, actually spreading her arms like a hen protecting its chicks, trying to protect the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree.
She thought that being a woman, the other party might not want to raise a hand against her?
Under normal circumstances, Lin Dong wouldn’t lay hands on a woman. But there were exceptions, like now.
His eyes flickered, emitting a light. When the woman host met Lin Dong’s gaze, her eyes became instantly dazed.
She obediently handed over the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree!
Though the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree had been growing for thousands of years, it was not as gigantic as those ancient trees of a thousand years.
It was only the size of a bonsai. After Lin Dong seized it, he placed it into the Dragon Ring Space.
Before anyone could react, they found that the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree had vanished into thin air.
"Ye Wuyou, you’re too arrogant. Do you think I will continue to tolerate you?"
"I’ve long investigated your situation, you’re just a newly entered Earth Realm martial artist. Do you really think you’re invincible under the sky?"
