City Peak Medical Saint

Chapter 104 The Mysterious Old Man

After today, Lin Xiao knew very well that his position as vice president was a certainty.

Just when he was full of ambitions, a notification tone sounded on his mobile phone. Lin Xiao opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message, and the sender was Yu Qingxin.

This made me feel a little surprised, since the last time I undid her Gu, the two of them hadn't had much contact with each other.

Unexpectedly, she would actually think of sending herself a WeChat message, Lin Xiao flipped through it out of curiosity.

The first is a greeting, clearly written: "Mr. Lin, hello, there is an auction at Mangrove House at [-] o'clock tonight. If you are interested, the Lun family is waiting for you."

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, returning to Lun's family, typical of cuteness and tenderness.

It has to be said that Yu Qingxin prepared very meticulously. After the preface was finished, an auction list followed immediately.

It was sent in the form of an electronic file, with pictures and texts on it, and the starting price was marked.

I still remember that last time, Lin Xiao missed a painting and made [-] million yuan, but that kind of good thing doesn't happen every time.

Besides, Lin Xiao didn't like the atmosphere of the auction very much, and was just thinking about how to say no.

Lin Xiao swiped a few times at random, and was about to close WeChat, but his gaze froze the next moment.

"This is an alchemy furnace?!" Lin Xiao was surprised, and hurriedly enlarged the picture to examine it carefully.

According to the auction information, this is a copper censer from the Ming Dynasty. The lower body stands on three legs.

Both sides of the furnace body are crowned with dragon-shaped ears, the top cover is carved with floating clouds, and a small unicorn is carved on the cover.

Looking at it like this, it is simple and exquisite, but it is obviously an alchemy furnace, so why is it called an incense burner.

Lin Xiao was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly became enlightened.

Ordinary people definitely don't know about alchemy stoves, and it's understandable to think of it as an incense burner.

However, Lin Xiao could recognize this treasure, so naturally he couldn't let it slip away.

The alchemy furnace is a rare and good thing. If you buy it, you can refine the panacea in the future, and you can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, I will be there on time." Lin Xiao couldn't hold back his excitement, and immediately replied.

Time passed by, and it was seven o'clock in a blink of an eye. Lin Xiao stopped a taxi and drove towards the mangrove house.

Not long after, the gate of the clubhouse was close in front of him. Lin Xiao got out of the car and entered the fifth floor of the clubhouse unimpeded.

Anyway, Lin Xiao has been here once, so he is familiar with the road.

Just like last time, just as Lin Xiao stepped out of the elevator, Zuo Wei, who was wearing a purple cheongsam, greeted him immediately, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, you are here, this way please."

Lin Xiao glanced at her meaningfully. Looking at her dignified and beautiful appearance at the moment, he couldn't help but recall her coquettish attitude when she was under the mandarin duck spell.

Looking around, the whole hall was noisy, and after a few people came one after another, it seemed that they had all arrived.

Lin Xiao took a quick look and found that there were not many people participating in the auction this time, including himself, there were only 23 people in total.

"Huh? It's that guy." Inadvertently, Lin Xiao took a glance and found that the person turned out to be Wang Bolun, that is, the guy who ordered Master Yan to lay a voodoo.

Last time at the Jules Verne Hotel, Yu Qingxin was bewitched by Wang Bo and was almost defiled by him.

It stands to reason that Yu Qingxin would never invite Wang Bolun to participate in the auction again, it doesn't seem to make sense here.

etc!Lin Xiao frowned suddenly, he remembered.

Even if the mandarin duck Gu is removed, it will leave serious sequelae, causing memory loss and completely forgetting what happened that night.

Therefore, even if Lin Xiao relieved them of the Gu, they would not know what happened.

I still remember that after Lin Xiao finished dispelling the Gu that night, he rushed back to the rental house wearing stars and moons.

In this way, not only did they not know Wang Bolun's true face, but they might even have forgotten who helped them solve the Gu, Lin Xiao suddenly smiled wryly.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao shook his head, and was no longer ready to meddle in other people's business.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao's ears twitched suddenly, and he noticed a strange sound.

Looking around for a while, Lin Xiao fixed his eyes on the white-haired old man next to Wang Bolun who had always closed his eyes and meditated.

This old man was very strange, with a ruddy complexion and a serene expression, and he was wearing a beige Taoist robe.

Dressed up in this image, a fairy-like appearance was immediately presented, which attracted countless people's attention.

Lin Xiao habitually used the medical pupils to look at it, and then he was shocked that he couldn't see through it!
Lin Xiao's face became more serious. This was definitely the first time he had encountered such a situation. Since the doctor couldn't see through it, there were only two explanations.

Or, he's using some kind of arcane method, whether it's on his clothes or his body.

Or, his cultivation level is higher than his own.

Lin Xiao always felt that the latter possibility was more likely, as this old man seemed very dangerous.

Not long after, Yu Qingxin came out to exchange pleasantries, Zuo Wei took the stage as the host, and the auction officially started.

In the audience, including Lin Xiao, 23 people were seated one by one, each with a bid card on their desk.

The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, five pieces of antiques had been auctioned, and one was unsold.

Lin Xiao was indifferent to this. What he was waiting for was the ninth lot, and he had been waiting for a long time.

Finally, Zuo Wei put on another lot, and her charming voice rang out: "This is a bronze incense burner from the Ming Dynasty, which is well preserved. The outer wall of the abdomen is decorated with fire and phoenix patterns, the top is carved with floating clouds and auspicious pictures, and the top is covered with a unicorn. This shape is calm and concise, with dexterity and quiet beauty. Nowadays, there are not many such incense burners in the world, and the collection value is very high. Welcome to actively bid. "

Zuo Wei boasted about it vigorously, and the atmosphere on the scene was heated up.

Regardless of the value of the collection, this copper furnace is also a boutique just by looking at its appearance. It is no wonder that Zuo Wei incited it, and the emotions of the bidders on the scene were all high.

"This is, this is a treasure furnace!?" Lin Xiao was attracted by this furnace as soon as it appeared. Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power coming from it, he almost dared to conclude that it was a low-grade treasure furnace.

"You must buy it, no matter how much it costs." Treasure furnaces are hard to come by, especially in today's Dharma-ending era, Lin Xiao stared at it with determination in his eyes.

According to the knowledge of Wuzang Immortals, alchemy furnaces are roughly divided into four types, Liangyi Furnace, Bao Furnace, Earth Furnace and Tian Furnace, each of which is divided into four grades: upper, middle and lower.

Among them, Liangyi Furnace is the general name of all mortal furnaces. As the name suggests, it is only used for refining mortal medicines.

But the treasure furnace is different. It is a must-have item for refining elixir. It can effectively prevent the loss of medicinal effect during the refining process. The higher the grade, the higher the rate of pill formation.

At the beginning, Lin Xiao used a frying pan to refine the medicine, such a large plant of Qiming Jiuguangzhi, and a pile of medicinal materials, he was in a hurry to refine only three low-grade grasses for pills, wasting an unknown amount of medicinal materials.

"The starting price is 280 million, and each increase cannot be lower than [-]."

As soon as Zuo Wei finished speaking, many people rushed to bid, "I will offer 290 million."

"300 million." Followed up.

"320."

"450."

……

The price has been rising all the way, soaring to 720 million in an instant, and there is no tendency to stop.

It seems that there are quite a few people who know the goods, but after all, they are just ordinary people, and they only care about its collection value, and they don't know anything about other uses.

Isn't it a waste of money to be bought back by them, so Lin Xiao is ready to bid.

However, just as he raised the bidding card, he heard an old voice suddenly: "I offer 800 million!"

"This old gentleman bid 800 million yuan, is there anyone else at the scene to match the price!" Zuo Wei couldn't help but look around, habitually agitating.

"My total wealth is only 800 million. I am determined to get this thing. I advise everyone not to bargain!" Unexpectedly, the old man opened his eyes faintly, with a threatening tone in his tone.
