Chapter 477 Fire Lingzhi

Qin Mingxue had a smile on her face.

Indeed, this time she had invested heavily, putting to use the connections and capital she had amassed in the underground trading market over decades.

It was all because she had found out that Chen Yu was a doctor and had even established a medicinal herb processing park.

Although the Fire Lingzhi was precious, it was nothing extraordinary among all the medicinal herbs.

Qin Tianfeng strode up to the television, observing all the details of the Fire Lingzhi carefully.

“Niece, I just happen to need this item. Could you cancel the auction and just give it to me?”

Qin Mingxue found herself in a tight spot. She understood her uncle’s nature—he was one to take advantage of any opportunity.

However, his expertise in appraising medicinal herbs was top-notch in the industry, which meant he had to be invited to an auction of this level.

“Uncle, this is only the first item in the auction. If we rashly withdraw it now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to continue with the rest of the auction,” she said.

Qin Tianfeng didn’t care about that at all—his greedy eyes were revolting.

Chen Yu swirled the wine in his glass.

“Mr. Qin, may I ask what level of master in medicinal herb appraisal you are?”

Qin Tianfeng turned his head with disdain, “My level? A junior like you has no right to know.”

Chen Yu smiled faintly, “If I’m not mistaken, this Fire Lingzhi seems to be pieced together—only half of it is real; the other half is just ordinary Lingzhi.”

Qin Tianfeng jerked his body and leaned forward, nearly pressing his face against the screen to observe.

Indeed, there was a crack in the middle of the Lingzhi that was barely noticeable to the naked eye.

He suddenly felt angry and found it hard to save face.

Even after observing so closely for so long, he had failed to spot the flaw, whereas Chen Yu had merely glanced at it and saw everything clearly.

After coughing a few times to ease the embarrassment on his face, Qin Tianfeng put on an elder’s air and returned to his seat on the sofa.

“Niece, this is where you’re wrong. A good auction, and you put a fake Lingzhi up for sale?”

Qin Mingxue pursed her lips, “Uncle, it’s already stated very clearly in the brief that this is a pieced-together Fire Lingzhi. Didn’t you see it?”

Qin Tianfeng paused, hastily adjusting his glasses to look at the brief next to him.

All the information was indeed clearly stated there.

The awkwardness on his face intensified, and he grabbed the teacup to gulp down a mouthful with a vengeance.

But Chen Yu felt it strange—a master in medicinal herb appraisal couldn’t possibly miss such an obvious flaw, could he?

After adjusting his breathing slightly, Chen Yu immediately used the system to scan the other person’s brain information.

Sure enough, the man was a fraud!

He had merely obtained an ancient medical book and, with its rare medicinal herb introductions, infiltrated the Medical Association.

Then he had bought a fake diploma to climb to his current position.

Chen Yu frowned, curious about the medical book. What kind of book was it that could help a worthless man climb so high?

The next auction item was a turmeric root!

This item was very rare, said to be the ancestor of ginger, usually found in deep mountains and forests.

Under certain specific conditions, it was even more powerful than ginseng and could even resurrect the dead.

Such a large piece, if placed in an outside auction, would start at no less than five million.
