Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Hundred-Year Snow Lotus (2/2)
The middle-aged man was just there to deliver the message, and he left in a hurry as if afraid of the people in the room doing him harm.
The people present all became excited; they had not expected to attend the auction so soon.
Chen Yu was not interested in anything here; he had come only because Tong Ming had asked him to find a mysterious organization from the East.
Victor had dodged another bullet, and his gratitude toward Chen Yu grew even stronger, wishing he could write his will right then and there and give the entire William’s family to him.
The crowd that had just been gathered at the door now dispersed, all preparing for the auction that evening.
Chen Yu was no exception, and after exchanging a few polite words with Heavenly Master Long Tian, he returned to his room.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the third floor’s plaza was filled with chairs.
Most of the people from the Dongming Canyon had gathered here.
In the very center of the plaza was an extremely luxurious lifting stage, on which an array of items was arrayed, and several hosts stood atop, carefully wiping the objects.
When the clock on the stage struck, those hosts immediately took on a dignified posture.
“Ladies and gentlemen, what you seek must surely be the last item of our auction, but everything sold at the Dongming Canyon auction are treasures beyond price,” said the host in the middle very politely in his opening speech, then had someone push a small box up onto the stage.
The decoration on the outside of the box was very intricate, and the materials used were also extremely precious, likely sandalwood.
After opening the box, a strange fragrance instantly spread, prompting half of the spectators to stand up.
“My God, it’s no wonder this is Dongming Canyon, to actually get such a precious Snow Lotus.”
“Judging from the fragrance it emits, it must be at least five hundred years old.”
“Such a Snow Lotus can not only prolong life but also treat all sorts of illnesses.”
…
There was an immediate outbreak of cheers at the scene, and someone promptly made an offer.
Although Chen Yu was interested, he saw the Snow Lotus as having more or less the same effect in his eyes.
With some medical techniques, it was possible to extract extremely pure Snow Lotus Essence from an ordinary Snow Lotus.
The medicinal value was not inferior to that of these several hundred-year-old ones before him.
“Young man, are you not interested in these?”
Heavenly Master Long Tian appeared beside Chen Yu at some point.
Chen Yu got a fright; he had just deployed the system into its cover mode, so he should have been able to detect anyone approaching, but when this Heavenly Master Long Tian appeared, the system did not give off any alert.
“I’ve come to Dongming Canyon only as an onlooker to broaden my horizons this time; I don’t plan to buy anything.”
Heavenly Master Long Tian stroked his beard and chuckled, then leaned back in his chair.
“There are still a few good things at the auction. If you like, I can buy them in the name of the Xuanqing Sect to give to you! If you’re interested in the final item for extending life, I can give it to you right now.”
Chen Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief; he had not expected Heavenly Master Long Tian to be so generous to him.
While he was still in a daze, another cart was pushed onto the stage.
This time the item seemed a bit heavy, with over a dozen strong men just to push the cart.
