”Young Master Li, this is your Cornus officinalis. Take good care of it!”

Li Lian brought the tray in front of Li Jiu, bent down with her red lips, and said softly. She was simply unbearably beautiful, but Li Jiu was currently eating her food like a mute, so she had never thought of buying this Cornus officinalis, okay? She only saw Leng Ning in the private room and knew that she was a student of Navy Tide Academy.

”Old Yun, I …” Li Jiu was still a little unconvinced, but when he met Elder Yun's ice-cold gaze, he tactfully shut his mouth in shock.

”The boy above is from the Navy Tide Academy. Even if Azure Dragon and Navy Tide didn't tell this old man, you're still not as good as the boy above in this area, you still have to learn more, understand?” With Old Yun's disappointed tone, Li Jiu kept his mouth shut and could only silently listen to Old Yun's warning.

Li Lian took out another item from the auction stage, and the beautiful voice sounded out once more: ”The following item is a white lotus with black ink, it must be known to the top cultivators, it can grow in the volcanic lava and has a rich life force, although it will not be of much help to cultivation, it can cure old wounds, no matter how serious the injuries are, they will all be healed.”

”The starting price is two hundred thousand gold, every bid must not be lower than ten thousand gold,” Li Lian said as she stood at the side.

”This white lotus with black ink is this old man's hope, so you must take it down! This time, you must remember not to get into conflict with others, and not to let others scam you! ” He instructed Li Jiu, ten years ago, he had already been infected by the Volcano Python's venom, and his cultivation had not improved at all for the past ten years. He had not been able to find the white lotus with black ink for a long time, and this time, he had heard that there was a white lotus with black ink being auctioned in the BMW Chamber of Commerce, so he brought Li Jiu and the others over, in order to capture it.

If he recovered from his injuries, breaking through to the eighth level wouldn't be a difficult thing.

Li Jiu nodded his head: ”I know, don't worry.”

Then, they immediately spoke out: ”One million gold!” Everyone was startled, they looked at how Li Jiu had raised the price so quickly, and all of them looked at each other without bidding, even though the white lotus with black ink was also a treasure, but it was only used to recuperate from his injuries, so there was no need to fight over it, and some of the large clans did not plan to bid either.

In the private room, Jun Ling was stroking the jade cup in his hands. Leng Ning and the others beside him were extremely bored, so they used their hands to support their chin, and said: ”The Cornus officinalis is gone, why don't we leave?”

”What's the rush? Didn't you notice that the Azure Dragon School fellow seems to be very interested in the white lotus with black ink?” Jun Ling's slender fingers turned the jade cup, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile.

Tap

Placing the jade cup on the table, Jun Ling looked calm and said: ”Cornus officinalis … ”I'm determined to win it.” He looked outside the window and shouted, ”5 million!”

Originally, everyone thought that one million was a very high price, even Li Jiu was a little proud, it seemed like the white lotus with black ink itself was determined, but after saying that, it was like a bucket of ice water being poured on his head.

”Five million!”

These words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. After a few seconds of silence, waves of exclamations broke out and everyone started whispering to each other. Everyone felt that the bid was a bit of a joke.
