Other people didn’t know the value of the only existing copy of the ‘Three Gathered Suns Acupuncture
Techniques’. In fact, there weren’t many people who were willing to bid for it, which was why everyone
was shocked when Leonard directly offered such a high price.
Norris, Roman, and Richard, who were sitting at the side, glanced at each other. In the end, none of
them bade.
For one thing, they didn’t know the value of the ‘Three Gathered Suns Acupuncture Techniques’ book.
Secondly, Leonard had no conflict of interest with them so there was no need for them to go against
Leonard.
It was better to be a good friend. After all, it may be useful someday. In the end, Leonard won the
bidding. As he held the book, Leonard looked extremely excited, as if he had found a treasure. He even
specially prepared a box beforehand and he placed the book in it.
Later, the auction continued and soon, it reached the last auction item. It was the pill furnace that
Matthew wanted. After the pill furnace was placed on stage, the introduction of the item was somewhat
different.
The introduction on the screen showed that this was a magical artifact which possessed extreme power
that could ward off all evil. Not only that, by being around this magical artifact all year round, the person
would also be nourished by the power inside the artifact so as to achieve life-prolonging effects and
better health.
Sitting among the audience, Matthew couldn’t help but feel amused.
This was only a pill furnace but before getting close to it, Matthew could already sense the power inside
the furnace. The feeling of being nourished that was said in the introduction was in fact the remaining
medicinal vapor that was left from previous use. It indeed could help get rid of some illnesses but the real
effect was not as powerful as the auctioneer described.
However, the crowd was bubbling with excitement, especially the few big shots in the front row. Norris,
Roman, and Richard widened their eyes and stared intently at the pill furnace on stage. They were some
of the most superstitious people.
After all, people who had done many bad things tended to be suspicious, which was why they were
always searching for magical artifacts that could protect themselves.
They always heard legends about powerful magical artifacts, and there were some people who would
spend a lot of money to find one. Now that the pill furnace was on display, it naturally attracted plenty of
attention.
In fact, Norris, Roman and Richard came here because of the pill furnace. The starting price of the pill
furnace was 50 million.
As soon as it was put on stage, Norris immediately yelled, “50 million!”
Hearing this, Richard scoffed disdainfully before he raised his hand and yelled, “60 million!”
No matter the big shots of Jersey or the young masters of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, they
were all not short of money. Roman pursed his lips and simply shouted, “80 million!”
The sudden price increase of 20 million was obviously to mock Norris and Richard for being too petty.
The two of them were furious and they immediately raised the price. Soon, the price rose to 150 million.
This price was offered by Roman. Meanwhile, Norris and Richard were hesitating. It was obvious that
they were calculating whether it was worth it to spend more than 100 million on a furnace.
Roman, on the other hand, was triumphant. This time, he was sure that he would win the furnace.
Roman got rich because of the Wayne family and the elders of the Wayne family were his biggest
backers.
The Wayne family elder had been ill lately so Roman wanted to buy this furnace as a gift for the elder.
If I send this gift over, the elder will definitely be impressed. When that happens, the return I’ll get will
definitely be more than 200 million.
At the same time, Ambrose looked calm but he was surprised that the furnace could be sold for 150
million.
Just when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, he heard a sudden yell. “160 million!”
Everyone’s expressions changed and they turned to look at the bidder. The situation was clear just now,
where only these three big shots were bidding against each other. As for the others, even if they had the
money, they wouldn’t dare to bid against them.
Which was why they were shocked that someone in the back dared to join the bidding and wanted to see
who was so bold.
That bidder was none other than Matthew!
