93 Blazing Heart Meridian! (1/2)
After such an aggressive bidding session, subsequent bids did not draw much attention or reaction even though they were auctioned off at much more exorbitant prices than usual. Finally, it was the item Jun Mo Xie had been anticipating, the Blazing Heart Meridian!
”The Blazing Heart Meridian is an extremely poisonous herb. Also known as the Bone Mist, it’s poison was so overpowering that it could cause one’s soul to be ripped apart and scattered in the wind! However, this herb also had extraordinary healing abilities for a particular group of people, especially for people who are infected with strong poison. A small dose of this herb would instantly nullify the poison and cure the user. If an advanced Xuan Qi cultivator could assimilate this poisonous herb into his bones and flesh, he could even render his body immune to all sorts of poison! The starting price for this item is 200,000 taels of silver and each additional bid has to be a minimum of 10,000 taels of silver.”
The auctioneer held a white jade box in his hand and slowly opened the lid. In it lay a single stalk of black lotus. It emanated a demonic and dangerous glow.
”The Blazing Heart Meridian have completely turned black! No wonder this item is auctioned only at the end. Based on the colour alone, this lotus is at least 500 years’ old! Its effects are a lot stronger than the ordinary items and it is undoubtedly a rare treasure!” Jun Mo Xie sighed and said softly, ”Fatty Tang, this is what I came for!” He then held up three fingers.
Jun Mo Xie thought silently, ”While the introduction on the uses of the Blazing Heart Meridian was already very detailed, it still missed an important fact. Had anyone known about this secret, they would probably not auction it off!”
The ‘Blazing Heart Meridian’ was just an epithet used in the Xuan Xuan continent. On Earth where it originated from, as long as it was over 200 years’ old, it would be called something else – Heaven and Earth Bridge! This herb was a treasure coveted by all warriors alike. If one could consume this herb after removing the toxic from it, it would instantly revitalize one’s Meridians, allowing one to traverse the bridge between Heaven and Earth! It could easily boost one’s power by margins tantamount to 20 years of cultivation!
A Blazing Heart Meridian aged over 500 years was said to be the best among the best. By using it, the probability of restoring Jun Wu Yi’s health would be close to ninety percent! And this was merely a conservative estimate by Jun Mo Xie!
As Jun Mo Xie’s thoughts and the auctioneer’s words ended, Fatty Tang’s voice immediately rang out, ”I bid 300,000!”
Just as this sound rang out, in the hall, everyone’s lips twitched. ”This extravagant bidder is back again! Although he only raised his bid by 100,000, it is still 10 times of the minimum incremental amount of 10,000! It is best not to compete with him. What if the price went beyond limits and this person just withdraw again just like the previous time? Wouldn’t it be shooting yourself in your own foot? Who hadn’t seen the Meng Family’s Young Master spitting blood just now?”
As a result, the audience went completely silent after Fatty Tang’s bid! No one spoke for a long time.
To be honest, the old, purple robed auctioneer was somewhat dumbfounded at the moment. This Blazing Heart Meridian could surely sell for over 800,000 but did he really have to auction it off at a mere 300,000 taels of silver? However, the Magnificent Jewel Hall had stringent rules and nothing could be done. The auctioneer paused for a moment before raising his hammer and saying, ”Young Master Tang has bid 300,000, are there any higher bids?” He paused a little longer before continuing, ”300,000 going once…”
”300,000 going twice…”
Suddenly a hoarse voice called out vehemently, ”I bid 3,000,000!”
This voice was none other than Li Zhen!
Just as everything was going smoothly for Tang Yuan, Li Zhen suddenly interrupted his plans. Tang Yuan exploded in anger and jumped into the doorway of Meng’s Family box, yelling, ”You immoral scoundrel! How dare you compete with me? I bid 500…” A hand cupped over Fatty Tang’s mouth suddenly. It was Jun Mo Xie! Although he did not finish his words, everyone in the hall still broke into cold sweat. Everyone could guess that Fatty Tang actually intended to call 5,000,000!
