Di Xuan Shang didn’t even realize that his brows had slightly furrowed.
No wonder she always gave off a lazy vibe, and no wonder her children started taking care of her at such a young age. It was because of her poor health!
After a long while, he slowly spoke, “There’s a person at the medical hall today named Lu Chen. He’s quite skilled. You might want to go see him.”
Feng Siyue was taken aback and then smiled. She hadn’t expected this cold-looking man to actually care about others!
Well, you can’t judge a person solely by their appearance.
She smiled and said, “It’s not as serious as Little Tangguo said. I just have a cold constitution and some drowsiness, but it’s nothing serious.”
Di Xuan Shang had heard of cases where people who were excessively sleepy ended up never waking up. Thinking of this, he spoke with an unquestionable tone, “It’s still better to get it checked out.”
“Well, I’ve already had someone look at it. They told me it’s a postpartum condition that just needs to be managed during the postpartum period. When I gave birth to them, I encountered some trouble, so I didn’t properly rest. If I want my body to recover, I’ll probably need to give birth again and properly rest during the postpartum period.”
As she spoke, her eyes, full of charm, looked at Di Xuan Shang. The red mark between her brows was particularly captivating!
Di Xuan Shang immediately averted his gaze and turned to look at the auction.
Feng Siyue, seeing that he wasn’t moved, couldn’t help but doubt her own charm. However, she was also wearing a veil, so she consoled herself and then lay back in the recliner, no longer speaking. Her eyes fell on the hall below.
This room, deserving of the best VIP status, offered an excellent view of the entire auction floor. Those outside couldn’t see in or hear the conversations inside. When they needed to bid on something, they only had to use their spiritual power to transmit their voice.
The auction had already begun. The host was Bai Guanshi from the Wandao Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor, holding a fan in his hand as he introduced the first item up for auction.
It was a Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng.
A spiritual herb formed from the essence of heaven and earth, it was a rare find, appearing only once every hundred years. Consuming it could greatly enhance one’s cultivation, allowing for a rapid increase in rank.
Another benefit was that it could help cultivators break through bottlenecks. After consuming it, not only would they break through, but all future improvements would also be significantly easier.
“Heavens, it’s the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng!”
“What? They’re auctioning the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng right at the beginning?”
Everyone present was stunned. Although the auction had released a list of items in advance, informing everyone of the auction items, the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng, a ninth-grade spiritual medicine, was expected to be the final item. No one anticipated it would be the first item up for auction!
The atmosphere immediately heated up!
They wanted it. They really wanted it!
Feng Wanqing’s eyes were glued to the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng, her gaze filled with excitement, as if she already considered it her own.
She was currently at the sixth tier of the Martial King Realm, a top existence among her peers. However, in recent years, a few small sects in the Tiandou Empire had produced some extraordinary geniuses whose cultivation was said to surpass hers.
The annual sect competition was approaching, and she absolutely could not let those from the smaller sects surpass her!
She had intended to break through during this closed-door cultivation, but breaking through a bottleneck was not easy. The Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng could help her achieve that breakthrough, so how could she not obtain it?
She had attended this auction specifically for the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng and another important treasure!
With these two items, how could she not win the upcoming sect competition?
On the auction stage, Bai Guanshi briefly introduced the benefits of the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng and then began the bidding.
“Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng, starting bid: five million low-grade spirit stones. Bidding starts now!”
“I bid five and a half million!”
“I bid six million!”
“I bid six and a half million!”
“I bid seven million!”
Feng Wanqing raised the paddle in front of her and called out her bid.
She knew that once she placed a bid, everyone in Jiaoyang City would give her face and not bid against her. After all, she was considered a genius saintess in their eyes, the adopted daughter of the Holy Monarch of the Shengyuan Empire.
Bidding against her was like challenging her, and by extension, challenging the Shengyuan Empire and Beiyue Empire. Therefore, no one would be so foolish as to offend her.
Sure enough, when Feng Wanqing placed her bid, those who had intended to bid sat back dejectedly.
Feng Wanqing smiled smugly, just as she had expected, while her senior and junior brothers began to congratulate her.
“Seven million once!”
Bai Guanshi tapped the auction hammer once. After the third tap, the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng would officially be hers.
“Seven million twice!”
Feng Wanqing smiled as she stood up, basking in the envious gazes of those present, ready to go up and claim the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng.
“Wait!”
However, at that moment, a lazy female voice suddenly came from the VIP room on the top floor.
Feng Wanqing looked up sharply, her fists clenched tightly. That voice belonged to the woman named Han Yue!
Did she really intend to compete with her?
How dare she?
In the next moment, the woman’s unhurried voice rang out, “Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.”
Silence.
Complete silence, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, equivalent to one hundred million low-grade spirit stones, instantly adding three million low-grade spirit stones. No one had ever seen such a drastic increase in bidding.
Moreover, that was the unique VIP room, which had the priority to bid. Even if she had only added one more spirit stone, the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng would have been hers. But she had boldly added three million…
Extravagant! Absolutely extravagant!
Bai Guanshi looked towards the VIP room. Wasn’t that the master’s room? When did a woman appear there?
He revealed his eight white teeth and quickly struck the hammer. “The VIP room has priority bidding rights. This Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng belongs to the VIP…”
“Han Yue!”
“This Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng belongs to Miss Han Yue! Someone, please deliver the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng to Miss Han Yue!”
“Mother, are you buying the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng to make ginseng chicken soup?” People faintly heard a little girl’s cheerful voice from inside.
Chicken soup? Did they hear that right?
A ninth-grade spiritual medicine, being used to make chicken soup? Was this not a waste of such a precious item?
And it was bought with ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, just to be used like ordinary ginseng?
Feng Wanqing’s face turned ashen, her silver teeth almost grinding in frustration.
The astonished voices around her became extremely piercing in her ears, as if someone was mocking her for not giving her face.
She felt that the woman must be deliberately opposing her, on purpose!
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, exactly the amount extorted from Xiao Chuhan.
So, she looked at Xiao Chuhan with resentment. If he hadn’t given the spirit stones to that woman, the Nine-Curve Spirit Ginseng wouldn’t have been auctioned off!
“Wanqing, don’t be angry. I’ll find a way to get you a better spiritual medicine,” Xiao Chuhan, sensing Feng Wanqing’s resentment, comforted her.
