Chapter 306
Master Flaming Leaf had great authority in the area of panaceas. When he approached the stage, the noise lowered gradually. The audience was anticipating the master’s authentication.
Master Flaming Leaf came onto the stage and took the Heaven Pulse Elixir from Lin Rong.
A tiny green snake emerged from his wide sleeve and swam around the Heaven Pulse Elixir in his palm, flicking its red tongue rapidly.
It was a medicine elf. Every panacea master had one, so no one was surprised.
After a good while, Master Flaming Leaf opened his eyes, which had been closed while he waited. The green snake returned to his sleeve.
The audience knew he had already come to a conclusion; they were simply waiting for it.
“I can’t say what effect this panacea has, but in my opinion, none of the twelve herbs used to refine it has anything to do with extraordinary meridians.”
Jiang Chen claimed he was from the Panacea Tower. Even if they sent someone to investigate, it would take them several months to get a solid answer.
Yin Shuang didn’t want the auction to be disturbed by this interlude, so she came forward and said, “This is only a drop in the pond. Just let it go. Master Flaming Leaf has provided his professional judgement, but the auction will continue.”
Master Flaming Leaf didn’t question Jiang Chen further, since he had proven he was from the Realm of Milky.
He glanced at the audience and said, “If this panacea does work, I’ll compensate you ten times the winning bid for your loss.”
Then he left the stage with his apprentices.
Lin Rong and Yin Shuang glanced at each other. The former went back to the box quickly.
“We still have ten of the eleven Heaven Pulse Elixirs. We’ll auction them together. Starting bid is ten million yuan stones. Reserve bid is 100 million yuan stones.”
Yin Shuang announced the numbers with a stiff smile.
It was a sky-high price for panaceas, which were consumable.
After Yin Shuang had made the offer, no one in the auction hall responded.
If the price had been lower, some curious people would have participated in the bidding, but it was ten million. And if anyone did bid, it would mean they didn’t agree with Master Flaming Leaf and could offend the latter.
The embarrassing silence had Yin Shuang at a loss for words. No one was bidding for the auction item. Such a thing had never happened at a large-scale auction.
“Hehe,” Xiao Feng sneered. She had achieved her goal. After this day, Lin Rong would have to leave the chamber of commerce. Then she would be the one to take over Jiang Chen’s affairs.
“Master, I’m so sorry.”
In the box, Lin Rong looked pale. He felt bad for Jiang Chen.
“Doesn’t matter. Cream rises to the top.” Jiang Chen had lost hope, as well.
Suddenly, a man in the auction hall stood up and said, “Miss Yin Shuang, how long will it take for the Heaven Pulse Elixir to take effect?”
“Immediately,” Yin Shuang recalled what she had read in the introduction card.
“Great. I’m developing my fifth extraordinary meridian, and I almost couldn’t hold down the breakthrough of my state anymore. I’m afraid I’ll break through soon. I’ll give it a try to see how it works.”
