Chapter 140: I Like Bidding Against People (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
However, nobody in boxes had bid so far.
Currently, the highest bid was 55,000 taels of silver.
The auctioning of this lot was about to come to an end. The hammer had already gone down twice. All of a sudden, a deep female voice came from the third box upstairs on the left.
”100,000!”
On hearing this voice, a skinny druggist abruptly raised his head, coldly squinted and looked in the direction of the box upstairs, faint anger gleaming in his eyes.
This woman had been quiet all along but suddenly outbid him when he was about to win the bid.
How could he tolerate this!
”101,000!” the skeletal old druggist took a deep breath and said in a sepulchral tone.
Those sitting in boxes on the second floor were either from large, prestigious families or reclusive Senior Pharmacists. Naturally, he was very unwilling to offend any of those people.
It was just that he was determined to get this 1,000-year-old Coral Snow Ganoderma.
”200,000!” Yun Wu yelled in a bland tone, ignoring Little Qing who was standing transfixed with shock on the side.
Originally, she was indifferent to this lot, but after hearing Little Qing talking about the efficacy of the 1,000-year-old Snow Ganoderma, especially the part about ”prolonging people's lives”, she suddenly became interested.
Since Grandma Medicine was unable to cultivate, she could only live 100 years or so at the most.
For senior people like Grandma Medicine, this Coral Snow Ganoderma which could prolong people's lives was definitely the most valuable thing.
She decided to do something for Grandma Medicine before returning to the Imperial City.
The moment she named her bid, that skinny druggist furiously clenched his teeth so hard that his roots of teeth nearly broke.
She directly doubled her bid! This was way beyond his budget.
The starting price of this Snow Ganoderma was merely 10,000 taels of silver, and the current highest bid was twenty times that number, which exceeded the true value of this 1,000-year-old Snow Ganoderma to a large extent.
What was that bidder in the box exactly?
Did she deliberately choose to bid at this moment to cross him?
