Chapter 788 The Legend of the Dark River 13
After Bai Hehuai sat down, he looked at the snacks on the table with delight.
"They also have osmanthus cake here. I've been craving it ever since I tried it at Qingyun Inn."
Seeing this, Feng Ling said in a friendly manner, "If you like, you can take some back after the auction."
"Really? Thank you, Lord Feng."
“My name is Feng Ling. You can call me by my name.”
“Okay, Feng Ling.”
Upon hearing this, Su Changhe interjected, "Why didn't you offer to let me call you by your name before?"
"Didn't you bring it up first?" Feng Ling said, raising an eyebrow.
"That's different."
"Nothing is different."
Although the two were bickering, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant, and their tone of voice seemed exceptionally familiar.
Su Muyu was somewhat surprised. He knew Changhe very well, and it seemed that Lord Feng was very special to him.
Bai Hehuai thought it was incredible that Su Changhe, that scoundrel, could win the favor of such a beauty.
Su Zhe, on the other hand, watched the show. It's true that when it comes to relationships, young people these days find someone who can overcome them.
"Welcome everyone to the Tianqi Branch of Qingyun Auction House..."
From the platform below, Liu Ying's voice came, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"The first item up for auction is the well-known antidote pill. The starting price is still 100,000 taels of silver. Now, let's begin the bidding."
“I heard that the antidote pill was bought by the Second Prince Bai Wang at the Jincheng Auction House last time. It cured the poison in his eyes. It seems that this antidote pill can indeed cure any kind of poison. I bid 150,000 taels.”
“Even if we don’t need it now, it’s good to keep it just in case. I’ll give you 200,000 taels.”
"Half a million."
"One million taels!" someone shouted.
Liu Ying spoke up, "Number 180 has bid one million taels. Is there anyone else bidding?"
"One and a half million taels." Su Changhe pressed the button on the seat.
"Private room number one on the third floor, the offer is 1.5 million taels. Anyone else bidding?"
"Su Changhe, you're so rich?" Bai Hehuai asked in surprise.
Su Zhe picked up his pipe, took a puff, and said with a smile, "Daughter, he's the head of the Dark River now, he's definitely not short of money."
Su Changhe just smiled and waited to bid for the antidote pill. If anyone else raised the price, he would continue to bid.
"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in private room number one on the third floor for winning the antidote pill for 1.5 million taels of silver." Liu Ying sealed the deal with a single hammer blow.
“The first item has been acquired,” Su Changhe said, turning to Feng Ling.
Feng Ling nodded casually: "Yes, you're particularly attractive when you're bidding."
"Pfft~" Bai Hehuai laughed out loud: "Feng Ling, it seems like you're trying to coax Su Changhe into spending money."
"He promised himself that he would auction off several more items today."
"Even the head of our Dark River has learned to spend lavishly on beauties," Su Zhe joked.
Feng Ling raised an eyebrow, her thinking was very clear: "You can't say that. He didn't buy the things for me; he bought them for himself."
Upon hearing this, Su Changhe readily agreed, "Then I'll take a picture of today's beauty pill and give it to you. Don't refuse me, okay?"
Although she certainly didn't lack pills herself, what she was giving was a token of her affection.
If you give it to her directly, she definitely won't accept it, but if you give it to her after she has spoken, she probably won't refuse outright.
"Changhe, how many more items are you going to bid on?" Su Muyu smiled slightly, asking if he had brought enough silver notes.
"Don't worry, the two things I promised Feng Ling are just the bare minimum. I also need the antidote pill, the beauty pill, the barrier-breaking pill, and the teleportation talisman."
"With so many people here today, if you want to bid on so many at once, the competition will be fierce."
Su Changhe naturally knew this, but he brought enough silver notes with him.
The second item was the Breakthrough Pill, which he eventually won for six million taels of silver.
"The price of pills keeps going up. They were only five million taels of silver in Qingyun City before, but they've increased by a full one million taels. Feng Ling, you must be very rich."
Bai Hehuai sighed, wondering how much silver he would earn from this auction.
Feng Ling silently calculated the money she had earned since coming to this world: "It's not enough. My dream is to become the richest woman."
Wow, that's an amazing ambition of yours.
Su Changhe was somewhat surprised by what Feng Ling said after hearing their conversation. He had thought she was indifferent to worldly desires, but he hadn't expected her to have such a dream.
But if that's the case, why did she refuse to cooperate with him and prevent him from buying the Breakthrough Pills in bulk?
His gaze fell upon the people below, who were bidding fiercely for the beauty pill.
That's true. Selling pills individually might be profitable, but at an auction, a single pill can fetch an astronomical price, making it a sure-fire way to make money.
The price for the beauty pill has reached 800,000 taels, and most of the bidders are women.
Su Changhe pressed the button on the seat: "I'll offer one million taels."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying asked, "The distinguished guest in private room number one on the third floor has offered one million taels. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"Rich people are so generous; they immediately raised the price by 200,000 taels."
Thinking of the immediate effects of the beauty pill the auctioneer had given to someone, several women raised their bids.
Finally, because everyone's desire for beauty was so strong, the price of a single Beauty Pill exceeded five million taels, approaching the price of a Barrier-Breaking Pill.
However, Su Changhe still took the offer without hesitation.
"It seems that women's money is easier to earn. Maybe I can also develop some beauty and skincare formulas to sell?" Bai Hehuai said, stroking his chin.
Feng Ling nodded: "Sure, as long as it works well, we won't have to worry about making money."
“Then I’ll go back and think about it. Only rich people can afford to buy beauty pills, but ordinary people can afford to buy some ordinary prescriptions.”
"You're right."
Su Changhe then praised, "Well done, even the legendary doctor has a business mind now that he's attending an auction."
Su Zhe's eyes held a hint of amusement and pride: "My daughter is very smart, just like her parents."
"A truly remarkable doctor, exceptionally intelligent," Su Muyu praised.
Hearing their approval, Bai Hehuai decided to get started as soon as he got back.
"The next item up for auction is the Nourishing Essence Pill, suitable for those who are weak and sickly, or whose health is poor due to various problems. The starting price is 150,000 taels of silver," Liu Ying introduced.
The Nourishing Essence Pill is a newly listed medicine. Not many sick people come to the auction, but those who need it come specifically for it.
Finally, it was auctioned off for 5.5 million taels of silver.
"Next up are not pills, but talismans personally drawn by our city lord: teleportation talismans and invisibility talismans."
"I never expected that the Azure Cloud Sword Immortal was so versatile, proficient in talismans, formations, and swordsmanship."
"Yes, this woman is truly a role model for us all."
Inside the private room number one on the third floor, several people looked at Feng Ling in surprise, wondering what this person couldn't do.
