As the beautiful waitress brought out the ancient tripod, Lin Qingyao clearly saw that the woman in black cheongsam suddenly moved.

  Lin Qingyao shifted her gaze to the table, where a small cauldron, no more than ten centimeters tall, was quietly placed on top of the red cloth. The body of the cauldron was already rusty and speckled, but it was still possible to make out the floral pattern that floated on its surface.

  Lin Qingyao took a look at the patterns on the body of the tripod and felt that they were somewhat strange, because these patterns were clearly talismans.

  This is... a treasure of the Xiuzhen world!

  Feeling that Lin Qingyao had been staring at the ancient tripod, Shao Jingming touched Lin Qingyao and said: "Do you want the ancient tripod?" He had to ask clearly, if Lin Qingyao also wanted it, then this matter would be much more difficult.

  Lin Qingyao shook her head, to be honest, she really wanted the ancient tripod, but there was a saying that went like this: "the bird that sticks its head out gets shot". It was clear that the female cultivator from just now had already set her sights on the ancient tripod. She weighed her own strength and realized it was probably not higher than that of the other woman. In the world of cultivation, killing people to steal treasures was a common occurrence. If she were to obtain the ancient tripod, not only would she be unable to protect it, but it would also bring trouble upon herself. It really wasn't worth it.

  Besides, she didn't even know what this treasure was for, it might just be a useless trinket.

  The bottom price of the ancient tripod was five million, and Shao Jingming actually started bidding, adding one million without hesitation.

  "Seven million." A middle-aged antique dealer cried out.

  "Eight million!" Someone else raised the price again.

  Shao Jingming's eyes flickered slightly as he suddenly shouted: "200 million!"

  Don't look at the price, it's suddenly raised too high. Shao Jingming is not a fool either. He suddenly called out such a high price because he had already estimated that those few would not give up easily. So he simply raised the price all at once to let others see his rise and scare away a batch of people.

  "Two billion five hundred million."

  Lin Qingyao followed the sound and saw that Zhao Zhang was now looking at her with a complacent expression, his eyes conveying a message: "I'm richer than him."

  Lin Qingyao's lips moved slightly, without making a sound, and fell into Zhao Zhang's eyes. The shape of her mouth was clearly saying "I'm sick".

  At this moment, the woman in black opened her mouth calmly: "I'll give 50 million."

  As soon as this was said, the whole room erupted in a commotion, with everyone's eyes falling on the black-robed female cultivator. After all, 50 million wasn't a small sum of money. Although everyone highly valued antiques, if the price was really too high and they were buying something that was essentially worthless, ordinary people just couldn't bring themselves to do it.

  50 million... Lin Qingyao was speechless, gazing up at the sky. Fortunately, she hadn't opened her mouth to borrow money from Shao Jingming to bid for this item, otherwise, even if she sold the ginseng again, she still wouldn't be able to afford it.

  At this time, everyone was guessing what identity the woman in black dress had, and how she could afford to spend such a large sum of money on an antique. After all, the cauldron didn't look very good from the outside.

  As soon as the price of 50 million came out, Zhao Zhang also retreated. He wanted to win a mouthful of air, but he didn't have the courage to spend too much money.

  I thought this thing should fall into the hands of the black-clothed female cultivator, but unexpectedly, Shao Jing said loudly: "One hundred million!"

  "Wow!"

  Everyone was shocked to the core. This young master of the Shao family, is his brain not good or sick? One hundred million... one hundred million... actually increased by 500 million at once! What kind of handwriting is this?! To know that the Shao family's liquid assets are only over a billion! This is simply the behavior of a prodigal son.

  Feeling the gaze of everyone, either in surprise or sarcasm, Shao Jingming let out a silent sigh, only he himself knew the helplessness in his heart. This thing, he had to get it no matter what! Even if it meant sacrificing the entire Shao family, it would be worth it!

  Lin Qingyao originally thought that Shao Jingming was just trying to liven things up by opening the bidding, but she didn't expect him to be serious.

  Lin Qingyao sensitively noticed that the black-clothed female cultivator had her eyes on Shao Jingming, and she felt it was her duty to remind him. This thing he feared would not be kept, after all, an ordinary person, no matter how rich, could not compete with a cultivator.

  Lin Qingyao tugged at Shao Jingming's clothes and shook her head gently.

  Shao Jingming knew what it meant, he smiled wryly and looked at the ancient tripod, his eyes had a determined look of having to get it.

  The woman glanced at Shao Jingming and Lin Qingyao, her voice cold and teeth clenched: "One billion one hundred million!"

  This nun quoted this price, which was already the limit. After all, she is a cultivator and won't carry too many worldly objects on her body.

  Shao Jingming ignored Lin Qingyao's warning and spoke again: "One billion two hundred million!"

  "Has Shao Gongzi gone mad?"

  "This good-for-nothing son, if Old Master Shao finds out, he'll probably beat him to death!"

  "I said it long ago that Shao Jingming is no good, today I see him and indeed he is!"

  "One billion two hundred million once, one billion two hundred million twice, one billion two hundred million three times! If no one bids again, this ancient tripod will belong to Mr. Shao Jingming!" The attendant lightly struck the small bell, indicating that the bidding had ended.

  Although the ancient tripod was shot by Shao Jingming, it is not time to hand over now. We have to wait until the entire auction is over before starting the settlement and delivery.

  After the ancient tripod, it was Lin Qingyao's hundred-year-old ginseng.

  "Zhao Zhang, can you help me take a picture of this ginseng? I want to use it to make medicine for fetal protection..." Suddenly, Daisy said such a sentence in the silent scene, her voice was very loud and had some intentional components.

  Many people secretly scolded Dali for her despicable behavior, which was clearly a warning to others not to bid. Even if someone did bid, Zhao Zhang would be embarrassed and would fight to the end, after all... this was under the guise of protecting his unborn child. If Zhao Zhang didn't win the ginseng at this time, he would simply lose face.

  "Three million one hundred and ten thousand." Zhao Zhang glanced at Daisy and casually added ten million yuan, starting the bidding.

  This ginseng is now all hung up for Dali to nourish the fetus, who else can afford to bid? Even if you want it very much, at this time, you won't dare to speak out. After all, the Zhao family in Chuan City has a lot of power and ordinary people can't afford to offend them.

  Although ginseng is good, it's only a hundred-year-old one and can't be refined into high-grade spiritual medicine. The black-robed female cultivator was surprised for a moment, but ultimately didn't make a move.

  After Zhao Zhang's bid, the entire auction fell into an awkward silence.

  Lin Qingyao felt a surge of annoyance in her heart. She didn't care how the couple was making trouble, she could ignore them, but now they were indeed affecting her interests!
