Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 504 Spending Money to Win Treasure

The auctioneer announced the reserve price.

The two bottles of medicine were priced at ten million, and if sold with the prescription, they would cost 150 million.

Upon hearing this, the tycoons all shook their heads.

This means that even the most effective medicine for treating wounds isn't worth this much money.

But a pharmaceutical tycoon immediately raised his hand: "I want the prescription too, I'll pay 150 million!"

A tycoon who made his fortune in organized crime raised his hand and said, "I want these two bottles of medicine, I'll take them for ten million!"

With no one else competing, the decision was made in one fell swoop.

The auctioneers were all bored.

There were bidding wars when we were selling jade earlier, but this time the sale was completed very calmly.

Next up is the "Dragon and Tiger Pill".

The pharmaceutical tycoons already knew about this; it could extend a man's time several times over.

They seem to have a particular fondness for this.

They're not selling the prescription, just the medicine. The starting bid is ten million, and these tycoons are all vying for it, all wanting to be a "seven-times-a-night" man!

Li Yuzi felt very awkward sitting among this group of people.

Ultimately, this bottle of "Dragon Tiger Pill" sold for 95 million.

Chang Youchang bought it.

Cao Erdan couldn't help but scoff at these tycoons.

They're all hypocrites, what a bunch of scoundrels!

Next up is the Longevity Elixir from Kunlun Mountain.

This was also made from extremely rare and precious natural materials.

The starting price is 100 million.

Because of the renowned Kunlun Ancestor, this medicine enjoys a high level of credibility.

The big-time tycoons were also very enthusiastic in making bids.

In the end, the deal was finalized at 1.2 billion, and it was tycoon Chang Youchang who won the bid.

Next up for auction was a protective barrier crafted by a cultivator!

It's still a beautiful woman and a burly man conducting experiments.

The burly man attacked the beautiful woman with a knife, and the woman threw out a protective shield.

With a "whoosh," a large bubble-like object enveloped the beautiful woman. The burly man tried to stab her with a knife and kick her, but he couldn't harm her in the slightest.

No one can get within three feet of a beautiful woman.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Some wealthy men went up on stage and punched and kicked the beautiful women, but all their attacks were blocked by the barrier.

The auctioneer announced the reserve price.

Everyone else seemed fine, but Cao Erdan was taken aback.

One protective barrier, two hundred million!

Moreover, these wealthy individuals regarded it as a life-saving artifact, and they competed to bid for it, with each bid increasing by ten million, instantly reaching five hundred million.

Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh, "If I had known I should have sold my barrier pills too, I could have made hundreds of millions!"

The wealthy people around him quickly asked, "Mr. Cao, you also bought the barrier?"

"I refined it myself!"

"..."

The wealthy men fell silent and turned back to bid on the protective barrier on the auction stage.

Though they didn't say it aloud, they were all thinking to themselves, "This kid is talking nonsense, a fool's dream! This kind of protective barrier couldn't possibly have such miraculous effects unless it was made by a reclusive alchemy master."

Cao Erdan certainly wouldn't bid on these things.

Sitting to the side, drinking tea and watching, I thought to myself, in the eyes of these mortals, everything in the cultivation world is a treasure!

Not long after, it was time to auction off the red coral.

This red coral is neither an antique nor an elixir; it is a pure natural treasure.

The coral is taller than a person and has grown for at least several hundred years. It is no exaggeration to call it a thousand-year-old red coral. It is an extremely rare treasure.

The reserve price is 150 million.

Immediately afterwards, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company offered 200 million yuan.

Cao Erdan wants to treat Ouyang Yuwei's illness, and the money will be paid by the Ouyang family, so there's no need to be stingy.

He immediately raised his paddle: "Three hundred million!"

The wealthy people nearby were startled.

Seeing Cao Erdan sitting still for so long, I thought the kid was just here to watch the fun.

The result was astonishing: the price was immediately increased by 100 million.

Although red coral is a treasure, the wealthy have to weigh the benefits before making any decision.

Money shouldn't be spent recklessly.

Even CEOs with hundreds of billions in assets don't just throw money away carelessly.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the auctioneer raised his gavel: "Three hundred million for the first time, anyone else bidding?"

The people in the room looked around, but no one raised the price.

"Three hundred million, for the second time!"

Just as the auctioneer was asking the question for the third time, someone in the back row suddenly raised their hand: "Three hundred and ten million!"

Everyone was very curious and looked over.

A man who had been sitting silently in the corner was speaking.

The man had a gloomy face, his expression as if he had just cried, as if he had lost his parents.

It instantly ruins a person's mood.

He was dressed in a gray outfit, as ordinary as could be, yet he casually mentioned hundreds of millions, which everyone found strange.

Cao Erdan was determined to win, and immediately raised his hand: "Four hundred million!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Although this coral is rare, it might not be worth hundreds of millions to buy!

Then the man in gray raised his hand again: "Four hundred and ten million!"

His composure also gave the impression that he, too, was determined to acquire the coral.

Cao Erdan knew that the other party was determined to fight him, so he turned around and looked at Li Yuzi.

Li Yuzi said, "I video-chatted with Yuwei and let her decide."

So Cao Erdan raised the price to 450 million, but the other party kept raising it by 10 million at a time.

Li Yuzi had already connected with Ouyang Yuwei via video call.

Although the young lady was ill, she still displayed an extraordinary domineering spirit.

He said to Cao Erdan, "Dr. Cao, don't worry about the money. I'll transfer 10 billion to you. Use it as you like! Keep any extra as my reward. If it's less, just let me know!"

With Ouyang Yuwei backing him up, Cao Erdan couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's stop dawdling."

With a wave of his hand, he declared, "One billion! And no matter how much this gentleman behind me offers, I'll add another hundred million!"

This grandeur and domineering presence impressed everyone present.

Even the foreign girl Catherine behind them exclaimed in admiration:

"Long live Mr. Cao! He's amazing!"

It's unbelievable that someone who runs a local produce business in a rural area would have such a big ambition, throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars right off the bat!

Previously, Jin Meizhu, a beautiful woman from the Han Kingdom, looked down on Cao Erdan, but now she realized that Cao Erdan was actually quite powerful.

The gray-clad man sitting behind him couldn't help but laugh, a laugh that was even uglier than a grimace.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Alright, the billion is yours!"

Cao Erdan spent 1 billion yuan to bid for a coral tree.

Immediately, countless envious glances came from all around.

Many hostesses and minor celebrities rubbed their thighs when they saw him.

A handsome and wealthy young master is truly a rare find; if you could get close to him, you'd be hitting the jackpot.

However, seeing Li Yuzi sitting next to Cao Erdan, some people gave up the idea.

Lai Yu-Chi is a top-tier celebrity; it seems she made her move early and hooked up with this young master!

Having gotten what he wanted, Cao Erdan wanted to leave.

Before I could even stand up and go to the back to complete the formalities, the auctioneer brought out another treasure.

It turned out to be a long cylindrical scroll.

Everyone thought it was a painting, but when they opened it, they couldn't help but sigh.

It was a tattered parchment scroll, riddled with holes and wormholes.

"Today's final piece will only be sold to those who appreciate quality!"

Everyone listened quietly to his introduction.

Cao Erdan sat down again.

Because he noticed something different in the parchment.

The auctioneer then introduced:

"This is a treasure unearthed a hundred years ago. It is said that this painting contains a great secret, so it is very precious."

It was stolen after it was unearthed and lost overseas.

The current owner is Mr. He Yuan, a collector of cultural relics in Beijing, who bought it back from abroad many years ago for 200 million yuan.

Now that Mr. He Yuan has passed away, his daughter, Ms. He Meiyuan, is up for sale with a starting price of 500 million!

There was an uproar below.

A parchment scroll riddled with holes is being priced at 500 million?

Are you crazy?
