Chapter 96

Su Wen took Lin Xinyi to a countryside restaurant for lunch.

During the meal, Lin Xinyi mentioned several times that she wanted to go home and visit, and Su Wen also had this idea, but he had a knot in his heart that hadn't been untied. His father's leg was a pain for the whole family, and in the past, Su Wen had no way to help, but now things were different. He had money and countless treasures, so there must be a way to cure it.

If he could find a miraculous medicine, it should be able to cure Su Donghe's leg.

Su Wen had read the plant section of the Treasure Gathering Hall, and there were at least a dozen miraculous medicines that could help his father.

"Xinyi, in a while, I need to prepare some things."

"Okay!"

After lunch, Su Wen returned to the Treasure Gathering Hall.

"Lin Liyun, why are you still coming to work?" Su Wen was very puzzled. This guy's identity had already been exposed, so there was no reason for him to stay at the Treasure Gathering Hall.

"Boss, I'm poor, so when I'm not on a mission, I earn a little money. Chen Yunhao told me that I can earn a hundred bucks a day, with food, accommodation, and a subsidy. It's such a good job, why wouldn't I do it?"

Su Wen shook his head helplessly: "Do as you please, just don't cause trouble for the Treasure Gathering Hall."

Lin Liyun thought for a moment and nodded.

It was now the afternoon.

A few high-end customers came to the Treasure Gathering Hall, and they were all guests from yesterday's auction.

On the second floor of the Treasure Gathering Hall.

"Yuan Yang Water, thirty million per bottle, I'll take all of it!"

"Sir, since you know it's Yuan Yang Water, you should know its value, right?" Zhao You indeed followed Su Wen's advice, constantly trying to get information from others. As long as a guest asked about something, he would try to get all the information he could.

"Of course I know. The biggest use of Yuan Yang Water is to enhance virility, and it has no side effects, and it's a permanent enhancement. I can say without hesitation that eating tiger or deer penis every day wouldn't be as effective as a single drop of Yuan Yang Water."

"Since you know, you should know the price, right?"

"Thirty million is a bit low. Last night, three drops were auctioned for 120 million, but that was after deducting the auction house's commission. If I buy it for thirty million now, there's no commission, so you get a clean thirty million."

Zhao You and Ma Cheng looked at each other, quite surprised.

"What, you brought out the Yuan Yang Water to sell, didn't you?"

Ma Cheng put on a helpless look: "Sir, of course we brought it out to sell, but the Treasure Gathering Hall has a few rules, which I'll briefly explain. First, the things we sell can't be auctioned. Second, we only sell things and don't ask about their use; whatever you do with them is your business. Third, if you want to buy something, you need to sign a sales contract. Fourth..."

"Are you done? Can you sell it to me now?"

"Sorry, our contract hasn't been printed yet, so we can't sell it today." Ma Cheng shrugged, looking helpless, "Please wait a few days. Our chief lawyer has already started drafting the contract, and it will be ready soon."

"Damn, that's too much of a rip-off!"

"Really sorry, it's our mistake."

"Alright, I won't hold it against you. Here's my business card. When you have the contract ready, be sure to notify me first."

"Of course, we will."

"By the way, your three-leaf ginseng is a treasure. If you're only selling it for 200 million, I can help you find a buyer."

"That's not necessary. The things in the Treasure Gathering Hall don't have trouble selling."

"That's true. Well, I'll take my leave."

Ma Cheng and Zhao You breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending another one away.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Ma, how did it go?"

"There are too many rich people. This is the seventh one. Six of them asked about the Yuan Yang Water, and one asked about the three-leaf ginseng and the dragon tongue grass."

Su Wen nodded: "That's right. With people asking, our reputation will grow. Just wait, and soon some people will be coming here every day. Then we'll set up a ranking system."

Zhao You and Ma Cheng smiled at each other. They had broadened their horizons today.

"What are you so happy about?" Liang Feng walked up, followed by Bao Long.

"Gentlemen, you're really quick." Su Wen made a gesture inviting them in. "For the next auction at your Prosperous Era Auction House, the Treasure Gathering Hall has more items to consign. Take a look at these first!"

Liang Feng and Bao Long looked at each other, quite shocked.

"By the way, where's Yang Feixue?"

"Miss has other things to do. Usually, it's just the two of us who appraise things."

Bao Long walked to the counter and looked at the items on display. Finally, he pointed to the three-leaf ginseng, extremely shocked: "This... this is three-leaf ginseng?"

Liang Feng was also stunned. He observed it carefully for a long time and nodded seriously.

"How is it, does it meet your standards?"

"If this doesn't meet our standards, our eyes must be blind." Liang Feng sighed, then he looked at the 21 bottles of Yuan Yang Water and the Flame Yang Stone, muttering: "Good things, all good things!"

Su Wen smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"The three-leaf ginseng can be the highlight of the auction. The Flame Yang Stone and the dragon tongue grass are also good. What do you think, Su Wen?"

"Since that's the case, let's put the three-leaf ginseng up for auction at your place! However, until seven days before the auction, I can't give it to you. I need it to attract customers here. Also, before the official auction, the Treasure Gathering Hall will likely bring out one or two more items, not necessarily the ones you see here. What do you think?"

"That would be best. We hope for more items."

"Since that's the case, let's settle it like this."

Liang Feng and Bao Long left, and Su Wen also returned.

Inside the Prosperous Era Building.

"Miss, Su Wen's Treasure Gathering Hall is not simple. I saw several treasures there, including a three-leaf ginseng."

"What, a three-leaf ginseng?"

"Yes, he plans to auction the three-leaf ginseng at our auction house."

"Who is he? I thought Water Spirit Grass and Yuan Yang Water were all he had, but now he's given me such a big surprise. In the past two years, the Prosperous Era Auction Houses across the country haven't been doing well. Could this be a surprise from us?"

"Miss, we've already sent out this month's issue of the Prosperous Era Auction House. I believe the Treasure Gathering Hall will soon become famous. If the Treasure Gathering Hall can guarantee to bring out more than two treasures every month, I think it's necessary to establish a long-term relationship with them."

"I understand. I'll find time to meet Su Wen alone."

"Miss, he seems to have a grudge against you."

"I tricked him, so it's no wonder he has a grudge. I need to soothe him, but how? I'm already his girlfriend in name. Should I offer myself to him?"

Bao Long was speechless. No wonder Su Wen didn't like Yang Feixue; this was the reason!

By the Blue Moon Lake.

Cheng Dafeng said angrily: "Old Liang, the Water Spirit Grass was auctioned away."

Liang Feng knew the result of yesterday's auction, so he wasn't surprised.

"Su Wen, that scoundrel, if I could beat him, I'd make him pay."

Hearing this, Liang Feng's eyes lit up: "Old Liang, to be blunt, you and Su Wen are not related. Why would he sell the Water Spirit Grass to you? Now he's focused on the Treasure Gathering Hall and wants to build its reputation. It's understandable that he put the Water Spirit Grass up for auction."

"Why are you telling me this?" The old man was confused.

"You just reminded me. You're a martial arts master, but you're not a match for Su Wen. I suspect Su Wen is from another world. Now you have a chance. Do you dare to take a bet?"

"What do you mean by 'another world' and 'take a bet'? Are you crazy, Old Liang?"

"Damn, why are you pinching my nose? I'm not crazy." Liang Feng pushed Cheng Dafeng away. "I'm telling you, this world is much more complicated than you think. I've heard things at the Prosperous Era Auction House. There are really legendary martial arts and supernatural abilities, hidden families, immortal people, strange beasts, vampires, zombies... Su Wen is young but has great martial arts skills and many treasures. He's likely not an ordinary person. If you can win his favor, you might have a bright future."

"Win his favor?"

"That's not the point. The point is, do you dare to take the bet, to bet your remaining life on Su Wen?"

"I'm an old man. Even if what you say is true, do you think Su Wen would want an old man like me? I can't afford to lose face."

"Then there's nothing I can do. That's all I have to say."

"I can't do it, but my useless grandson can. He's not much of a success and just causes me trouble. I might as well give him to Su Wen. If what you say is true, he might have a future with Su Wen. If you're wrong, it can at least annoy Su Wen. The grudge over the Water Spirit Grass can't be left unavenged."

"Damn, did I say all that for nothing? You just want your grandson to annoy Su Wen?"

"Is that so?"

"Get lost, as far as you can."

"Old Liang, you're too mean. I just came to vent..."

Cheng Dafeng hadn't finished speaking when Liang Feng started tearing and kicking. The two old men fought and played, quite lively.

"Those two old men are so old, but they still have so much energy?" Zhou Fei watched from the side of the Blue Moon Lake.

"Yeah, the one behind even took off the other's pants," Xia Wuchang added.

"Disgraceful! More open than young people. Should we try it too?" Luan Lan muttered.

Hearing Luan Lan speak, the entire Flying Heaven Team scattered. This pervert, they needed to stay away from him, and they had to be careful with their "chrysanthemums" at night!
