Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2344 - 2300: Black Stone Auction

He is unfamiliar with the people in the Capital, who would recognize him?

Surely there aren’t any officials coming in and out of such a place, right?

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead." Tu Qi saw Chen Yang insist and didn’t say much else, just silently put away the mask he had taken out.

Sitting quietly in place, waiting for the auction to start.

After waiting for about ten minutes, more and more people started coming in.

The venue could accommodate around eight hundred people, and in the blink of an eye, it was filling up.

And by this time, the auction also began.

The auction process here is no different from those in other realms.

First, a host comes on stage and says a lot of opening words.

Then, they start introducing today’s auction items.

After the introductions, the items are gradually brought onstage so the audience can start bidding.

The highest bidder wins.

Although this method is a bit cumbersome, the price of what is sold is very high.

Because of the number of people scrambling for items, the price is certainly not comparable to selling in a store.

Of course, to get into an auction, the item has to have a certain rarity.

If it’s just any item, who would care?

The auction went on for almost an hour, and Chen Yang, Tu Qi, and Qin Shan were getting numb from waiting.

They were beginning to question whether the information provided by the Treasure Pavilion was accurate when the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower finally came on stage.

It was a blossom half ice, half resembling a fiery snake-shaped bud.

Its appearance was very peculiar.

But the spiritual energy it emitted was something not to be underestimated.

As soon as the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower appeared, the atmosphere that had been gradually calming down clearly rose again.

Those who understood the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower were filled with anticipation.

Those who didn’t understand it were shocked by the powerful spiritual energy it emitted.

"What kind of natural treasure is this? How have I never heard of such a strange shape?"

"You don’t recognize this? It’s the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower, which has very magical abilities."

"Magical abilities? How so?"

"Let me tell you, rumors say that someone used this flower before, and after absorbing it, their cultivation soared rapidly, and their Ice and Fire Element cultivation techniques progressed by leaps and bounds."

"So powerful? I must join in."

...

The crowd started discussing.

Those who knew about the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower flaunted their knowledge, while those who didn’t humbly sought answers.

Anyway, almost everyone on-site was interested in the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower.

"It’s really up here, but looking at the situation around us, it won’t be easy to get, Brother Chen Yang," Tu Qi whispered from the side.

"No matter how difficult, we must secure it. Otherwise, where would we find a second one in such a short time?" Chen Yang was resolute and prepared.

No matter how many Spirit Stones it would cost, he was determined to secure the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower.

Not to mention the danger Prince Jing Kang and others would face, he himself could be seen as a Crown Prince ally by the Python King, putting his life at risk.

This isn’t just for the Princes; it’s for his own sake too.

"Hmm."

Tu Qi also understood this clearly, and he nodded without saying anything further.

After a while, the discussion voices on-site gradually lowered.

The host on stage started the introduction.

First, a special explanation of the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower’s unique effects, followed by how rare the flower was.

Talking about where it was obtained from, facing trials and fighting for survival.

No knowing if these words were true, but the purpose was clear.

It was about making the price higher, giving people a feeling that missing out on this flower would mean missing it forever.

Therefore, the price naturally would go up.

Chen Yang silently watched them go on and on.

About ten minutes of introduction later, the auction finally started.

"Alright, after saying so much, I believe everyone has a good understanding of this Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower. Without further ado, let’s start the auction."

"According to our auction house’s evaluation, this Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower will start bidding at three thousand Spirit Stones."

"Each bid increment must be no less than five hundred Spirit Stones. Let’s begin now."

The host announced the start.

Chen Yang initially wanted to place the first bid.

Little did he expect, before he could raise his hand, at least thirty hands were already raised all over the venue.

The popular demand for the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower was evident.

"So many esteemed guests want it? Please keep your arms up. I will gradually increase the price, and those who cannot accept it can lower their arms."

The host added.

Due to having too many people, they couldn’t bid one by one in waves.

The host directly started incrementing the price himself.

After the first two or three rounds, the raised hands didn’t decrease.

But by the time the price reached over five thousand, people started lowering their arms gradually.

"Still so many people at five thousand? This Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower might be auctioned for over ten thousand," Tu Qi couldn’t help but smirk at the sight.

Chen Yang hadn’t expected this scenario.

At that time, he thought securing it for eight thousand wouldn’t be too much of a difference.

Considering if placed in ordinary places for sale, it could fetch around five or six thousand.

But now, with so many vying for it, a price reaching five figures seemed inevitable.

"There’s no choice; the rarity commands it. But regardless, we must secure it." Chen Yang, though surprised, remained confidently unmoved.

He was backed by Jing Kang.

He was here representing Jing Kang to bid, and whichever amount of Spirit Stones he spent, Jing Kang would fully reimburse.

Thus, Chen Yang wasn’t worried at all.

He stayed seated, quietly anticipating the continuation of the auction.

"Seven thousand five hundred Spirit Stones."

By now, the price announced by the host on stage had reached seven thousand five hundred.

Upon hearing this price, many who didn’t particularly need the Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower kept lowering their arms.

Because this price had exceeded the normal level.

If they didn’t particularly need it, there was no reason to spend a fortune competing for it.

However, there were still three people raising their arms.

A girl appearing around sixteen or seventeen stood behind a figure cloaked in a black robe, substituting for the cloaked one in raising an arm.

They seemed to not belong to the Capital.

The other two contestants were from the Capital.

Judging from surrounding discussions, one was the Family Head of Capital’s Lin Family, the other a young man with significant connections.

The eldest son of the current Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister of the Great Jing Dynasty, whom Chen Yang had met, did resemble that young man in appearance.

However, the father and son’s temperament differed greatly.

The Prime Minister felt knowledgeable, amiable in appearance, yet his gaze and conduct were very sinister, a typical double-faced person, an old fox with deep schemes.

As for this son, muscular and boisterous, leaving an impression of a brute.

Moreover, from the arrogant expression on his face, he was doubtlessly a fop.

Relying on his father’s power, he was sure to run rampant in the Capital.

"Nine thousand, nine thousand Spirit Stones, is anyone willing to go higher?" The host’s voice at this moment became somewhat excited.

Being an experienced host, how could he not know that with still three different parties persisting, there was certainly considerable room for further price increases.
