Chapter 1097
Over in the chamber of the Li Clan at the other end .
Li Xiangsi had already whacked the head of someone next to him with his palm, berating him . "Shut up and just watch if you don't know who he is! For god's sake, that's the son of the Medicine Valley Master! You will offend the entire Medicine Valley if you offend him! If he really gets angry, our Li Clan can forget about getting any medicine from the Medicine Valley from now on!"
"He's the Little Saint Doctor?" All the Li Clan members were taken aback . "Surely not? The Valley Master is already so old, how can he have such a young son?"
Li Xiangsi snorted and said, "It is rumored that back in the days, the Little Saint Doctor invented a kind of appearance-retaining potion for his mother to preserve eternal youth . But he was worried about the effects of the potion, so he downed a bottle of it himself first and became like this . The potion was obviously a failure, so it was never heard of ever again . "
After that, he raised his voice and called out, "Please go on, Young Valley Master . I have already punished this ignorant subordinate of mine, and I hope that the Medicine Valley does not take it to heart . "
The Young Valley Master snorted coldly in response and then placed the matter aside, before going on to say, "Just one more reminder to everyone, and that is… To ensure everyone's safety during the auction today, if anyone is found behaving suspiciously, no matter who it is, the Medicine Valley will blacklist him and his clan and will not sell any medicine to them for life!"
After he finished the reminder with the stuffiest demeanor, he said, "The first item up for auction is the white-bearded ginseng . " Pinching it carefully with two fingers, he lifted the white-bearded ginseng from the Purple Crystal case and gave it a little wave before placing it back into the case .
This action looked less like something from an auction but more like a magic show instead .
Everyone was rather confused . What kind of treasure could the white-bearded ginseng count as? This junk could be found anywhere! Why would they bring it to such a prestigious auction?
The next moment, the Young Valley Master picked up a piece of paper from within the Purple Crystal case . "This is the certificate of evaluation from the high priest himself . "
As he said that, he unfolded the piece of paper and held it before him, reciting the contents out loud, all prim and proper .
Chu Yang died of laughter immediately .
This guy didn't even bother to introduce the item, instead choosing to just recite from a ready-made script! Could he get any lazier… This was the first time he had ever seen such an auctioneer .
He went on to say, "This is white-bearded ginseng originating from the Black Blood Forest . White-bearded ginseng can be used as an ingredient in elixirs after fifty years, with the effect of revitalizing internal energy and nourishing the body . However, this particular white-bearded ginseng is a phenomenal article that has survived three thousand years in the Black Blood Forest . The roots have turned white and the body is black, as if the night sky . Its medicinal properties are rich and abundant, and may be used in place of a ten thousand years-old blood ginseng . Its pharmacology and medicinal effectiveness exceed that of the ten thousand years-old blood ginseng by a fair bit . Category — middle-grade Heavenly Treasure! Martial Artists who consume it can increase their cultivation experience by three hundred years, and increase their lifespan by more than three hundred years!"
He raised his head and said indifferently, "White-bearded ginseng, starting bid, 5,000 Purple Crystals! Please call your bids!"
Everyone was in a state of stupor!
White-Bearded ginseng that survived three thousand years in the Black Blood Forest! Medicinal effectiveness that exceeded that of a ten thousand years-old blood ginseng! What an impressive item this was!
A ten thousand years-old blood ginseng was already unanimously considered a high-grade Heavenly Treasure in the Nine Heavens . But to the high priest, this white-bearded ginseng that was more effective than a ten thousand years-old blood ginseng was only categorized as middle-grade!
Just how… was this possible? How could white-bearded ginseng even grow for three thousand years?
But the high priest's certificate of evaluation couldn't be fraudulent!
No one was more of an expert in the field of medicinal herbs than the high priest in this world . Moreover, to publicize the certificate of evaluation in front of so many people, his choice of words must already lean towards a humbler tone and would never have exaggerated . Because the moment any hint of fraud were to be discovered, the reputation of Medicine Valley would be destroyed along with it too!
The high priest would never fool around with the reputation of Medicine Valley which had been built over several tens of thousands of years .
In that case, this would mean only one thing — this white-bearded ginseng was the absolute real deal! And definitely possessed such capabilities!
On stage, the auctioneer's hammer was already raised . Stiff as a board, he said, "Since everyone is silent, should no one call out any bid after the third and final call, this white-bearded ginseng shall be declared unsold! Going once, going twice…"
"Wait!"
Someone shouted anxiously .
Everyone else also broke out in cold sweat . When he said that he would be very fast in counting down, they really had no concept of the speed he spoke of . Now that they did, what the hell, he practically spared no hesitation at all!
If it had been any other regular item, there probably wouldn't be anything not left unsold…
If any other auction house were to hire him as an auctioneer, the boss must definitely have something loose in their head . They should count their lucky stars if he didn't squander away all the family assets…
"I bid 6,000 Purple Crystals!" someone shouted . Everyone looked over to see a big man with a curly mustache standing with a sign lifted in his hand .
Diwu Qingrou turned to the elder next to him . "Bid 8,000!"
The elder was taken by surprise for a moment before he immediately called out, "The Diwu Clan bids 8,000 Purple Crystals!" The price was increased by a good 2,000 Purple Crystals in one motion, indicating Diwu Qingrou's determination to win .
