Eastern border of the Eastern Country,

Auction house.

Darkness descended, the underground was stiflingly hot, and the place was packed with people.

In the center of the auction hall, a platform slowly rose. The merchandise was covered in crimson velvet, tantalizingly hidden from view.

It is said that the organizer of this bazaar spent a lot of money to get [person's name].

"Tsk! People, I don't know who they will end up in the hands of in the end."

"You guys are talking so aggressively, I just want to see how tough that person really is."

People!

On the second floor of the marketplace, in a dimly lit room, a slender hand with prominent knuckles tapped rhythmically on the table. Deep amber eyes held a hint of amusement.

At this moment, a man in a black tuxedo and silver fox-face mask walked up. His long hair was half tied back, his slender hand holding the microphone, his voice soft yet with a sharpness to it, “Welcome to the Intercontinental Auction House.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, the noisy stands fell silent.

The Dongguo Border Intercontinental Auction House, backed by a god organization, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Riot, it is death.

"I won't say much about the lot. It's a medicinal herb from Mount Buzhou, starting bid at ten billion."

Having said that, Yin, wearing white gloves, pulled back the red velvet curtain with her slender hands. The curtain slowly fell, revealing a child lying in a giant golden cage, dressed in flowing robes.

Black hair and snow, eyes like autumn water shimmering, is innocent that does not understand the world's affairs. Half a veil covers her face, making people think endlessly.

I wonder what captivating sight lies beneath that veil of sheer fabric, something truly awe-inspiring.

"My god, this is the legendary Medicine Man of Mount Buzhou? This kid, worth ten billion!"

"I heard that the medicine can cure all diseases and even increase lifespan. It's no wonder it had a starting price of ten billion."

"Tsk, it's too pungent. I also heard that spending a night with a medicine man is not inferior to the effects of this drink."

Thinking of this celestial being, who could even live longer, any price would be worth it.

"Is this really true? While Mount Bu Zhou is considered the strongest in international medical and scientific research, it's incredibly mysterious. We don't even know its location. Are there really people from Mount Bu Zhou?"

"My brothers, you wouldn't understand. This is an international auction house, there has never been a counterfeit item here."

"Ten million."

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone immediately held up a sign.

Ten million three thousand.

"Ten billion five hundred million."

"One billion."

"1.3 billion."

"...."

The crowd in the stands was getting increasingly frenzied, and prices were skyrocketing.

The child in the birdcage always kept her head bowed, her eyes clear and calm like water. She was innocent and naive, showing no fear of being bought by someone.

Second-layer shrine,

"Sir, the divine physician cannot be found. What about this Zhou Shan's medicine man?"

The Night Court remained silent, his gaze fixed on the person inside the gilded cage. To be precise, it was more accurate to say he was looking at a child.

Since the master wasn't speaking, Ye Qian could only wait.

The price has soared to five billion.

A beer belly, his eyes cloudy with the glare of a bald head, cursed, "Damn it, it's so high. When I get this demon in my sights, I'll make sure he pays."

"Five and a half billion."

The old man in the next room, with a wave of his hand, looked quite like an angry victim.

The Night Court's brows furrowed in displeasure. With a casual wave of his hand, the subordinates immediately raised a sign, "One hundred billion."

The price range went up multiple times, and suddenly, the whole place fell silent.

Ye Qian had a certain sense of pride, knowing that his master never participated in auctions. If he wanted something, he would wait until the very end to get it.

Above one hundred million, many of you here are a little reluctant.

You know, not many listed companies have such high revenue.

Who is the person occupying seat C, and what's their background? They casually spit out 1 billion, as if it were no different from 100 bucks.

"This guy must be a sucker, right?" someone speculated.

"A peasant, for a top-tier tycoon who has no shortage of money, a medicine person is worth more than a hundred billion. You see, what they lack isn't money, but life bought with money."
