But there was no way. This thousand-year-old ginseng was finally bought by an old rich man for 3.39 billion.
After that, several auction items were auctioned, but Zhou Chen was not interested in them.
Until a bunny girl brought a small ancient alchemy furnace.
Xiao Yunmei introduced: "This was found in a cave, which is somewhat similar to the immortal's cave in myths and legends. According to the owner of this auction item, a skeleton with a golden light was also found in that cave. The skeleton shows that the original owner of this alchemy furnace was a powerful practitioner in the Yanhuang ancient times."
Zhou Chen's eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace. This was a real spiritual weapon!
It is full of traces left by the years, but the totems of the mythical beasts on the alchemy furnace are still lifelike.
Middle-grade spiritual weapon—alchemy furnace!
Zhou Chen knew that there must be opportunities in a place like Beijing.
Zhou Chen's eyes immediately looked at the woman in the foundation building stage.
Coincidentally, the woman in the Foundation Establishment Stage also looked towards Zhou Chen.
The two looked at each other and could see each other's thoughts.
This is because they are afraid that the other party will also discover the preciousness of this alchemy furnace, so they want to see the other party's reaction.
Zhou Chen sighed, it seemed that the competition was a bit troublesome.
I’m afraid I don’t have a competitive advantage with my 1.8 billion!
The starting price of the alchemy furnace is only 5 million. After all, there is no elixir in it, so it can only be auctioned at the price of an antique.
Archaeological experts could not identify the year of the antique, nor did they know which dynasty it came from, so they could only set a moderate starting price.
As for the true value of the alchemy furnace, we can only let these auctioneers compete among themselves.
There were quite a few people who made quotations at the beginning. After all, 5 million was a small amount for them.
When the quoted price exceeds 100 million, there will be fewer bidders.
Xiao Yunmei was a little helpless. She knew that the alchemy furnace must be a treasure, but she couldn't find anything outstanding about it.
Even if there is a magic pill inside, its value can be doubled several times.
Finally, the foundation-building woman quoted: "200 million."
Zhou Chen immediately followed: "300 million."
Foundation-Building Woman: "500 million."
Zhou Chen: "1 billion."
Foundation-Building Woman: "1.5 billion."
Zhou Chen: "1.8 billion."
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's offer, the Foundation Establishment woman immediately smiled.
Her smile was so touching that the men around her couldn't help but want to prostrate themselves under her pomegranate skirt.
From Zhou Chen's quotation, she could infer that Zhou Chen did not have too much financial resources.
And he controls a large group in the secular world, with a net worth of at least tens of billions.
So he quoted again: "2 billion."
Zhou Chen sighed, there was no way, after all, the accumulated funds were not enough!
Although Zhang Bingnan didn't see the value of the alchemy furnace, seeing Zhou Chen's behavior, he said, "I still have 2.5 billion here, so I'll lend it to you first. Anyway, with your ability, it's not easy to make money."
Zhou Chen thanked him and did not refuse.
The alchemy furnace is indeed very important to Zhou Chen now. It is a treasure that can quickly improve his strength.
With the alchemy furnace, you can refine elixirs that improve your cultivation.
You can also let family members cleanse their qualifications and prepare for future cultivation.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Zhou Chen will definitely take his family to practice together. Anyway, there is no shortage of practice techniques in his mind.
But the family members are all mortals, and they are all very young. They need elixirs to cleanse their bodies and remove acquired impurities to prevent them from hindering their cultivation.
The offers that followed became even more intense.
Zhou Chen: "2.5 billion."
Foundation Building Woman: "3 billion."
Zhou Chen: "3.5 billion."
Foundation-Building Woman: “4 billion.”
Zhou Chen: "4.3 billion."
The quotations between the two were like a numerical competition, as if money was really just a string of numbers in their eyes.
This is indeed the case. If you can exchange the worldly property for a medium-grade spiritual weapon, then even if you spend 40 billion, it will be worth it.
This is the end of the Dharma era, and the value of a real spiritual weapon is immeasurable.
On the auction stage.
When Xiao Yunmei smiled, she knew that this treasure would definitely be recognized by those with discerning eyes to see its true value.
And such discerning people are extraordinary. If we can make friends with them, the benefits to Yunmei Auction will be huge.
Especially for myself who is now in dire straits, a powerful and mysterious backer is essential.
The foundation-building woman smiled again. It seemed that Zhou Chen had no money.
Calm quote: "4.5 billion."
Zhou Chen sighed, he had no choice but to do his best.
I can only lament that I am unlucky. At this auction, I met a person of the same mind.
Why are the protagonists in those urban novels always able to pick up items at low prices?
Cai Yameng also came to participate in the auction. As the daughter of the head of the Cai family, Cai Yameng got a blue membership card and sat near the front.
Although she is a Miss Cai family, it is her first time to participate in this kind of auction.
She hasn't taken a picture of the treasure yet and is about to take a picture of the finale treasure.
Cai Yameng knew from Mr. Cai that Zhou Chen was not an ordinary cultivator and was very powerful.
Ordinary cultivation treasures will definitely inevitably end up being rejected.
So what Cai Yameng needs is the kind of top-notch treasure that Zhou Chen wants to refuse, but can't.
And now such a treasure appears.
Cai Yameng is very thoughtful and smart.
Although she doesn't know who the two people bidding now are, she can be sure that these two people are no ordinary people!
Those who can treat billions as a string of numbers are probably only the top cultivators.
And the treasure that can make top practitioners flock to it must be very attractive to Zhou Chen.
So when Xiao Yunmei emphasized 4.5 billion per time, she immediately made an offer.
"5 billion."
This made the foundation-building woman frown. She originally thought she had a chance to win, but she didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway.
Maybe it was because of the fierce quotation between himself and Zhou Chen that it aroused the curiosity of some people, and they also thought that the alchemy furnace was a peerless treasure.
"6 billion!"
The Foundation-Building Woman no longer slowly raised the price, but directly raised the price by 1 billion at once, demonstrating her determination to win.
Cai Yameng is not to be outdone. Although she does not have so much money, the Cai family does.
Cai Yameng "6.2 billion."
Foundation Building Woman: "7 billion!"
Cai Yameng: "7.2 billion."
Foundation-Building Woman: "9 billion!"
The foundation-building woman was angry and simply increased the price by 1.8 billion in one go.
This price is the highest price ever paid for an item at Yunmei Auction.
Xiao Yunmei was a little unbelievable.
What level of treasure is this alchemy furnace? It's almost over 10 billion.
But she is a smart person and does not want to offend the master.
So he immediately smiled coquettishly and said: "It seems that this auction item has a big secret, but I still ask the two distinguished guests to bid rationally. Why not go to the VIP rest area to talk privately, so as not to hurt the harmony."
The foundation-building woman agreed.
But Cai Yameng disagreed. She knew that the person competing with her must be strong, so it was safer to bid in public.
"9.2 billion!"
So she made another offer, rejecting the offer and negotiating privately.
Zhou Chen also didn't expect that there would be someone competing with the foundation-building woman. Through his keen senses, he discovered that the person who made the offer was actually Cai Yameng, and he was a little shocked.
This made Zhou Chen hope that Cai Yameng could take the pill furnace, so that he could have a chance to cure Cai Yameng's father and make a deal with the Cai family to get the pill furnace.
If this was really captured by the Foundation Establishment woman, then with her current strength, there would be no way to snatch it away.
Moreover, Zhou Chen couldn't do such a thing as robbing other people's treasures.
Instead of robbing it, it is better to collect the refining materials yourself and refine an alchemy furnace in the future.
Like Zhou Chen, there was also a woman who wanted to trade the pill furnace with Cai Yameng privately, but she also gave up the bid.
She does control a large group, but compared with the big family, the financial resources are not enough.
