Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Three

Crack!

With Bai Susu's final gavel,

the two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus was auctioned off for a sky-high price of ten billion, ultimately ending up in the hands of the Miao Frontier woman.

The transaction took place on the spot.

After paying the ten billion, the Miao Frontier woman took the Snow Lotus with her.

And after the Miao Frontier woman claimed the Snow Lotus, she didn't return to her seat, but instead, left the hotel immediately.

After the Miao Frontier woman left, many martial artists in attendance began to look at each other with glinting eyes.

Wizards run rampant in Miao Frontier, casting spells and using countless other methods; ordinary people generally prefer not to provoke them.

But this time, not only had the Miao Frontier woman bought a Magic Artifact, she also bought a two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus; even though she might not be easy to provoke, some people couldn't help but entertain thoughts, especially since she was traveling alone.

Quite a few martial artists also discreetly left.

Long Xiaoshan likewise noticed this scene but it was no longer any of his concern; the Snow Lotus had been sold, and for a price far higher than he had anticipated, originally he thought that even if it were auctioned, it might fetch around three billion at most, but the price had increased several folds, reaching ten billion.

Though he was no longer very concerned about money, he couldn't help but be excited—who wouldn't think the more money the better?

Besides, compared to the real wealthy, he was nothing.

Hadn't you seen at the auction just now, the Tang Family, Iron Palm Gang, they were all bidding in billions.

And from the frustrated expressions of these people, it seemed that ten billion wasn't their limit if they had been better prepared; they only regretted not being able to get the Snow Lotus.

This made him all the more aware of the preciousness of medicinal materials.

He had underestimated the allure of such heaven-sent treasures to martial artists; in the future, he must never lightly bring out such medicinal materials for auction again, despite the huge profit, much faster than doing business, but the risks were too high; a Century-Old Snow Lotus had already drawn covetous looks, nearly upending Bai's Medicinal Materials.

If he presented anything better, it could even attract Grandmasters; his power was not yet sufficient.

He understood very clearly the principle of, "A man is not guilty for carrying a gem, but the gem itself incites the crime."

"Honored guests, this auction now comes to a close, thank you all for your attendance; Bai's Medicinal Materials welcomes you all, we have also prepared some small gifts, which you can collect on your way out," Bai Susu announced the end of the auction from the stage.

After Bai Susu stepped down,

many in the audience were still in a state of shock.

Today's auction had truly been an eye-opener for them; even for those wealthy individuals, the trip was well worth it; a small auction had actually sold an item for a whopping ten billion, with the entire auction full of climaxes.

"One mountain peaks higher than the other," the experience was truly astounding.

Compared to the martial artists, more people from the business sector were paying attention to Bai's Medicinal Materials.

Today's auction had thoroughly established the fame of Bai's Medicinal Materials.

The items Bai's Medicinal Materials presented today, none were simple; they showed the strength of Bai's Medicinal Materials, and from this single auction alone, Bai's Medicinal Materials accrued seventeen billion in funds.

Let it be known, this is cash we are talking about.

Probably not even the large medical families within the province could pull out so much cash.

Many people were already making plans to get in touch with Bai's Medicinal Materials more often in secret.

Who knows if Bai's Medicinal Materials would be able to bring out more astonishing goods.

After everyone left the venue, Long Xiaoshan walked into a room at the back of the auction; Bai Susu stood there, and as Long Xiaoshan entered, Bai Susu seemed to still be very excited, having suppressed it while on stage, but now, she let it all out, her face flushed, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

"Auntie Su," Long Xiaoshan called out.

"Xiaoshan," Bai Susu ran up to Long Xiaoshan, looking as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms. Just as she was about to leap forward, she suddenly checked herself and instead grabbed Long Xiaoshan's arm, saying, "I was so nervous just now."

"Why?" Long Xiaoshan asked.

Bai Susu shot Long Xiaoshan a look and said, "A billion! I never imagined it could auction for so much. I just confirmed that the money has been transferred. It's all here."

Bai Susu took out a card.

She handed it to Long Xiaoshan, saying, "This card contains the total amount from the auction, totaling 1.697 billion. Keep it safe."

Long Xiaoshan didn't take it and said, "Don't give it to me, you keep it."

"I can't take this. It's so much money, and the auctioned items were yours. I just helped you with the auction. What does it mean if you give me the money? Quick, take it," Bai Susu urged.

"Auntie Su, you forgot that I've invested in Bai's Medicinal Materials. Now that Bai's Medicinal Materials has built its reputation, soon there will definitely be people looking to collaborate. This is all money for the company's development, to help it expand," Long Xiaoshan said.

"Investing all this into the company seems too much, though. You only own half the shares, and here we have almost seventeen billion. That could buy over a dozen Bai's Medicinal Materials companies."

"Since I'm also a major shareholder, I'm willing to invest in the company. If the company makes money, I benefit too. Alright, Auntie Su, stop arguing with me," Long Xiaoshan said forcefully.

"Alright then," Bai Susu pouted.

If it had been before, with her strong-inwardly but gentle-outwardly nature, she certainly would have refused.

Originally, when Long Xiaoshan refused to take the shares, she was actually upset.

But now, thinking about the bracelet worth several billion she had accepted from Long Xiaoshan, she felt particularly guilty.

Accepting several billion but then not willing to invest a dozen billion into the company seemed rather pretentious.

Yet the thought of returning the bracelet to Long Xiaoshan made her incredibly reluctant, so much so that she just couldn't bring herself to part with it.

She didn't know why.

In any case, she never even mentioned the bracelet.

"Let's go, Auntie Su. Let's head back first," Long Xiaoshan said as he and Bai Susu left the hotel. At the entrance, Zhao Xiaoqiao was standing there in a black leather outfit with fiery red hair, exuding a wild sexiness like a sensual female leopard.

"Team Leader, the mission's completed, right?" Long Xiaoshan asked.

Zhao Xiaoqiao said, "I suppose so."

"What do you mean 'suppose so'? Didn't the higher-ups say there wouldn't be any trouble at the auction? Look, there were no issues," Long Xiaoshan said with a chuckle.

"The nerve of you to say that," Zhao Xiaoqiao spat. "Those eight people are still locked up, and their families have all sent representatives here."

"You didn't release them, did you?"

"I haven't released them. But since the mission here is over, we'll definitely have to let them go."

"Don't be in such a hurry. It's not that simple. Even if their families have come, we should get something out of it. They almost tore down our Bai's Medicinal Materials. Just tell them they need to cough up ten million each."

"I've never seen anyone greedier than you. You've just made over ten billion, and you're still trying to extort another ten million," Zhao Xiaoqiao said, glaring.

She had already learned from Bai Susu's mouth that all those elixir pills and Snow Lotus were auctioned by Long Xiaoshan, and that Bai's Medicinal Materials had half its shares owned by him.

No wonder Long Xiaoshan was so proactive; apparently, he was using the Special Action Division's influence to protect his own company.

Thinking about this made her teeth itch with frustration.

"Hey, you city folk really don't see money as money. Us country folks are used to being poor, so we even split a penny in two. This is ten million we're talking about. Anyhow, without the money, don't release them. If they don't pay, don't blame me for releasing the video," Long Xiaoshan remarked.
