Supreme Emptiness

Jiang Fan awkwardly withdrew his gaze and said, "I was just admiring her commercial talent, I didn't mean anything else."

Xu Youran sternly said, "I didn't suspect you."

"I suspect Chen Silin, she seems to be overly fond of you."

For Jiang Fan, she was willing to drive out the Zhu Family.

What exactly was Chen Silin after that made her willing to go to such lengths for Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan, feeling guilty, said, "I don't understand either."

Xu Youran glanced at Jiang Fan and said, "I also don't know what she likes about you."

"Don't be fooled by her approachable manner, her standards for choosing a future husband are quite high."

"I really didn't expect her to like you this much."

Jiang Fan's lips twitched.

Why hadn't he noticed before that she was so good at putting people down?

She didn't even need to use a single swear word throughout!

As Chen Silin finished her opening explanation, she decisively unveiled the red cloth from the first tray, revealing a Spirit Grass that could extend one's life.

It's rarely seen on the market.

Jiang Fan finally understood what "wealthy ladies" meant!

Though it's only worth ten thousand taels, the wealthy ladies didn't care about the price exceeding its market value to show off their status, competing fiercely.

Finally, it was sold at the high price of fifteen thousand taels.

Chen Silin was overjoyed, once again casting a grateful look at Jiang Fan.

If it weren't for the Beauty-Restore Pill presiding, gathering so many wealthy ladies for an auction would have been nearly impossible.

A regular Spirit Grass could never have sold for such a sky-high price of fifteen thousand taels.

Then, she successively displayed several more rare items.

She was very clever, selling not only treasures needed by women, such as high-grade rouge, whitening pills, and so on.

She also thoughtfully prepared treasures needed by elderly, men, and children, such as life-extending Spirit Grass, kidney-tonifying Spirit Pills, height-promoting Spiritual Liquid, and more.

The wealthy ladies were also very willing to pay.

The reason was simple.

By silencing the members of their families, they could spend lavishly on the Beauty-Restore Pill without any objections from home.

So, by the time the eighth item was auctioned off, Chen Silin had already made a net profit of fifty thousand taels of silver.

Equivalent to the Chen Family's past year's income!

This made her ecstatic!

This auction not only increased the Chen Family's prestige, but the real gold and silver in hand were astronomical numbers.

But she also knew when to stop.

She unveiled the covering of the ninth item, that bottle of Beauty-Restore Pill that all the wealthy ladies in the city scrambled for!

With wisdom flashing in her eyes, Chen Silin said, "This bottle of Beauty-Restore Pill, I won't give much of an introduction."

"I'll have my mother explain it to everyone."

The transformed Liu Qimin, dressed in a light red long dress, slightly applied makeup, and wearing simple jewelry, appeared young again, looking like she was in her twenties.

Her appearance stunned many wealthy ladies.

"Is she Mrs. Chen? Impossible, we just saw her the other day, she wasn't like this,"

"She is Liu Qimin, you must be mistaken,"

"Oh my gosh, she looks more than ten years younger, like she's twenty years younger!"

Zhang Yuxiu exclaimed.

Even having witnessed Liu Qimin's transformation firsthand, she almost didn't recognize her.

This made her even more envious and she shouted, "No need for an introduction, two hundred thousand taels, I'll buy it!"

What?

Starting at two hundred thousand?

Wang Yingfeng was shocked. She had only prepared three hundred thousand, thinking that if she was lucky, she might be able to get it.

Gritting her teeth, she decided to try, "Thre..."

Before she could finish, a determined voice sounded.

"Four hundred thousand!"

It was the City Lord's Wife!

She forcefully called out the price, looked at Liu Qimin, then looked at the Beauty-Restore Pill, her eyes burning.

"Five hundred thousand!"

An elderly lady from another prominent family called out without hesitation!

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

As the price continued to rise.

Chen Silin's jaw dropped, and she murmured, "This is crazy!"

She simply couldn't understand, how a Beauty-Restore Pill could have such a huge allure!

Wang Yingfeng's eyes were wide open, holding onto her pitiable three hundred thousand taels of silver, feeling utterly bitter.

She completely underestimated the appeal of the Beauty-Restore Pill.

"One million!" Zhang Yuxiu called out, voicing an earth-shattering price.

Beside her, Zhu Jianshen was dumbfounded and urgently said, "Mother! Are you mad?"

A million, even the Zhu Family could not bear such a cost!

Spending so much for a Beauty-Restore Pill was an immense loss!

"Shut up!"

Zhang Yuxiu's eyes were filled with anger as she glanced around, "Anyone else?"

A million was simply too much, even the City Lord's Wife reconsidered and reluctantly gave up.

Given her stance, it was clear what the other wealthy ladies would do.

All of them clenched their teeth and painfully withdrew.

"One point one million, Young Master Jiang bids one point one million."

At this moment.

Jiang Fan, sitting in the front row, crossed his legs, nonchalantly raised his sign.

After all, the Resurrection Pill was his.

No matter how high the bid, it didn't matter, at worst no one would compete and the pill would return to him.

When Zhu Jianshen heard it was Jiang Fan who bid, he angrily shouted, "Do you even have the money to shout here?"

Chen Silin furrowed her brows and spoke on Jiang Fan's behalf, "Whether the guest has money or not, we at the Treasure Pavilion will check with the bidders afterward."

"For those who make false bids, we at the Treasure Pavilion will not let them off."

"Over the years, no one dared to cause trouble at the Treasure Pavilion."

The wealthy ladies nodded one after another.

At such a high-level auction, causing trouble recklessly was akin to courting death.

Chen Silin continued, "One point one million, once."

"One point two million!" Zhang Yuxiu glared at Jiang Fan and gritted her teeth.

One point two million was quite a burden for the Zhu Family.

Some properties would need to be sold to raise that much money.

"One point three million! Young Master Jiang bids one point three million!"

Chen Silin looked at Jiang Fan's raised sign and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Yuxiu was furious, this guy was out to get her.

She considered giving up to teach Jiang Fan a harsh lesson, but thinking of Liu Qimin's transformation, she hardened her resolve again: "One point four million!"

"If you bid again, I'll let you have it!"

Jiang Fan pursed his lips and stopped bidding.

The money he had on him was exactly one point three million.

Zhu Jianshen plopped down on the ground, his eyes darkened and he said, "One point four million!"

He never dreamt that this pill would cost one point four million!

This had already hurt the Zhu Family's Yuan Energy!

One million was already the limit.

The extra four hundred thousand was nearly fatal!

And these four hundred thousand were due to Jiang Fan's malicious bidding!

Chen Silin was overjoyed and immediately completed the transaction with them.

However, the auction hadn't ended yet.

Chen Silin unveiled the red cloth of the last item, revealing a three-foot-long piece of wood, as thick as an arm.

It was charred black all over, with traces of Thunderbolt scorched marks.

Many people recognized it.

"Thunderstruck Wood? Can this be considered a collectible?" A wealthy lady questioned.

Thunderstruck Wood is the charred remains after a Thunderbolt strike. It has some value, but not very high.

It's not rare on the market. With some effort, you can still buy it from several material shops.

Chen Silin said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Silin placed this last for a reason."

"My grandfather saw with his own eyes a giant tree that had gained sentience and was capturing passersby, drawing their blood."

"A colorful Heavenly Thunderbolt struck down, burning it to leave only this piece."

"It's definitely different from ordinary Thunderstruck Wood, but my grandfather studied it for many years without finding anything."

"If any of you believe it has fate with you, you can buy it back and continue studying it."

Upon hearing this, many wealthy ladies got up to leave, losing interest.

In an instant, more than half of the people had left.

Chen Silin smiled bitterly, it seemed that no one wanted this piece of Thunderstruck Wood.

"My fiancé bids ten thousand." At this moment, Xu Youran reluctively shouted.

Beside her, Jiang Fan held up a sign with ten thousand taels of silver, his eyes glinting as he stared at the Thunderstruck Wood.

He could hardly believe it.

The "Thunder Pattern Spiritual Wood" described in the "Taiyin Soul Technique" actually existed!
