The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 244 The Hei Family's Daughter

The woman had delicate features, with lines as if carved by a knife, yet she possessed a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, adding a touch of allure to her heroic spirit.

Her figure was even more explosive, with a slender waist, long legs, and an exceptionally proud bust.

She wore a long dress, revealing two patches of white, tender flesh, instantly attracting the attention of every man present.

Boss Wu whispered, "This is the daughter of the He family, Miss He Xinyi."

So this woman was indeed He Xinyi. Her beauty lived up to her reputation.

Li Qin stared straight at the exposed flesh, then looked down at herself, and immediately felt inferior.

Huang Wenlei's eyes widened, and he walked straight over, "Miss He, could you sign my autograph?"

Unfortunately, before Huang Wenlei could reach He Xinyi, he was stopped by a group of bodyguards behind her.

He Xinyi glanced at Huang Wenlei with disdain and uttered two words, "Idiot!"

Huang Wenlei flushed with shame, but he didn't dare to say anything. Although the Huang family had influence locally, compared to the He family of Hong Kong... well, there was simply no comparison.

At that moment, the door of the small courtyard opened from the inside, and the auction began. He Xinyi led her bodyguards and entered first.

The others followed closely behind, one after another.

"Master Sun, shall we go in too?"

Boss Wu asked Sun Buzhou.

Sun Buzhou nodded, "Alright!"

Since it was an underground auction, it was naturally very different from a regular auction.

This auction was jointly organized by six wealthy individuals from Jiaonan City, and Boss Wu was one of them.

The auction was guaranteed by them, but the evaluation of medicinal materials was up to each individual's judgment. Once the materials left Yanzi Garden, they were no longer responsible.

The auction began, and the first item made the entire venue heat up.

It was a wild Polygonum multiflorum over two hundred years old, weighing more than half a kilogram, with a starting price of five million.

He Xinyi directly raised the price to ten million, instantly doubling the base price and expressing her determination to win this item.

Seeing He Xinyi's posture, everyone immediately lost the desire to bid.

"As expected of the He family of Hong Kong, they don't give anyone a chance!"

Everyone originally thought that He Xinyi only had her eye on this Polygonum multiflorum, so she doubled the price directly, but soon they realized they were wrong, and very wrong.

Because for every item that followed, as soon as the auctioneer finished announcing the base price, He Xinyi immediately raised her paddle, doubling the base price!

There were only twelve items in this auction, and He Xinyi took all the first five items in one breath.

It was only then that everyone realized that they had fallen into the trap of this young lady of the He family.

Because some of these five items might have a true value higher than double the base price, and many of the items brought here for auction were priceless.

He Xinyi directly doubled the base price, scaring everyone into not daring to bid. In this way, He Xinyi seemed arrogant and wealthy, but in reality, she didn't spend any unnecessary money.

So, when it came to the sixth item, after He Xinyi doubled the base price, everyone no longer remained silent and began to bid.

But soon, they realized they were wrong again.

Because He Xinyi's actions were not a tactic. She was truly determined to win all the items in today's auction.

And no matter how much others bid, she would always bid one million more!

From He Xinyi's mouth, everyone truly felt why it was said that money was just a number.

You must know, how many people in this world may not be able to earn one million in their entire lives!

Out of the twelve items, He Xinyi won eight of the first eleven, and the three that were not won were not because He Xinyi didn't compete, but because people gave up from the beginning and didn't bid at all.

Soon, it was time for the grand finale of this auction, the last of the twelve items.

"Now, it's time to test everyone's eyesight!"

The auctioneer said mysteriously, holding a tray covered with a black cloth in his hand.

"This is an unknown medicinal material, with a starting price of ten million!"

Then, he removed the black cloth, revealing a fist-sized, shriveled fruit of unknown origin.

"What is this?"

"Is this also a medicinal material? It looks like a dehydrated potato!"

"Is the auction house really trying to fool everyone with a dried potato?"

The major pharmaceutical merchants and masters below frowned and began to speculate.

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes: "Hmm?"

Sun Buzhou was stunned when he heard this and asked in a low voice, "Chen Xiao, do you recognize this thing?"

Seeing this scene, Boss Wu was secretly shocked. He didn't know what the identity of this young man was. Even Master Sun had to ask him?

Huang Wenlei said carelessly, "Grandpa Sun, didn't you hear what others said? This is just a dehydrated potato. I'm afraid the shareholders of the auction house are deliberately teasing everyone. These people are really not good people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Wenlei suddenly felt a cold gaze shooting at him, which reminded him that Boss Wu was also one of the shareholders of the auction house.

He quickly explained with a訕笑, "Boss Wu, I'm just kidding, don't mind..."

Boss Wu ignored him and said lightly, "I don't know what kind of medicinal material this is, but I can guarantee that it is not a dehydrated potato."

Huang Wenlei curled his lips, thinking that you dare to sell it without knowing what it is. You are really a black-hearted businessman. What if this thing is not even as good as a dehydrated potato?

At this time, everyone heard Chen Xiao say lightly, "This is a spiritual medicine."

"Spiritual medicine?"

Sun Buzhou was stunned and looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief.

"I won't be mistaken."

Chen Xiao nodded and explained, "The so-called spiritual medicine is actually a special kind of medicinal material, which can be understood as a gene mutation. Its spiritual energy is often much higher than the species itself. In fact, everyone is right. This is indeed a dehydrated potato, but it contains a very rich spiritual energy, which has long caused qualitative changes. The appearance and feel have changed, so we can't simply say that it is just a dehydrated potato."

Everyone listened to Chen Xiao's explanation with their ears pricked up, but after listening, they were stunned.

Huang Wenlei curled his lips and said disdainfully, "After all this fuss, it's still a dehydrated potato. Can a potato have spiritual energy? Could it be that it has become a spirit?"

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly, "What a waste of breath!"

However, Chen Xiao was obviously not the only one who could recognize this 'spiritual medicine.'

Not far away, He Xinyi began to bid again, and directly increased the starting price of ten million fivefold!

Bidding price, fifty million!
