Chapter 581: Fusang Tree?_1

"Yin Tian, isn’t that jade very important to you?"

Su Qinwei looked at Yin Tian with confusion, "Why did you let go of that jade?"

Yin Tian shook his head and chuckled, "What I care about is not the jade, but who brought that jade here for the auction."

"Murong lost it, this may well be the last clue."

"Oh."

Su Qinwei suddenly realized and understood.

The auction continued.

One after another, items were brought to the auction stage and acquired by the crowd through bidding.

However, none of the subsequent dozen items managed to reach the high price of ninety billion.

Yin Tian had no desire to bid for those items.

After a while, the next item was brought up for auction.

It was a small wooden box, looking worn and tattered, though it was adorned with a few gems that marginally elevated its class.

"This wooden box is said to be the personal belonging of a Divine Doctor, and being used to store medicines over the years, it has been permeated with the scent of herbs."

The host stood there, introducing the wooden box to the audience, "After testing by Wanbaozhai, this wooden box indeed proves to have remarkable effects. Just by keeping the wooden box close, one’s ailments can be reduced to a certain extent."

"Even cancer patients, if they stay near this wooden box continuously, will find their condition alleviated."

"The starting bid for this wooden box is eighty million."

"Five hundred million!"

"One point four billion!"

"One point eight billion!"

A new round of bidding started.

In a few minutes’ time, the price of the wooden box had soared to three point five billion.

"This thing is kinda interesting."

Chu Renjie let out a chuckle, his languid voice sounded, "Four billion."

As soon as Chu Renjie’s voice faded, a voice followed from the Murong Family’s private room, "Four point one billion."

Chu Renjie, who had just managed to calm down, began to gnash his teeth once more.

How could he not see that Yin Tian was doing this just to irritate him!

"Still want to play the same old trick with me?"

Chu Renjie bit his teeth, glared fiercely at the other private room for a moment, then a gleam of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"You motherfucker can play me, I can sure as hell play you too!"

Chu Renjie spoke, a smile already spreading across his face, and he immediately pressed the button in front of him, "Five billion!"

"Five point one billion."

Yin Tian’s calm voice came directly.

"Hmph! Don’t get smug just yet, you’ll get what’s coming to you!"

Chu Renjie sneered, pressing the button again, "Seven billion!"

"Seven point one billion."

"Nine billion!"

"Nine point one billion."

"Good!"

Chu Renjie hit the button, bursting into laughter, "Hahaha... Congratulations, you spent ninety-one billion on a crappy wooden box. I hope I can still see you hugging it all day long when we meet again."

Afterward, Chu Renjie continued, "Host, aren’t you timing yet?"

The host was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Chu Renjie was doing this to retaliate against Yin Tian.

However, he didn’t say much, after all, the rivalry between Yin Tian and Chu Renjie would ultimately benefit their auction.

"Ninety-one billion once, ninety-one billion twice, ninety-one billion three times, congratulations to the esteemed guest in private room thirteen for successfully auctioning the medicine box."

Upon hearing this, soft laughter suddenly emitted from Yin Tian’s private room.

"Hahaha... Gone dumb, have you?"

Chu Renjie also started laughing, "Ninety-one billion for a crappy wooden box, what’s there to be happy about? It can even treat cancer, don’t you know about the three great Medical Families in Central City? Let alone cancer, they can cure whatever disease you have!"

The rest of the audience laughed along.

Just as Chu Renjie had stated, the medical skills of the three great Medical Families were so advanced that they could cure almost any disease in the world. There really was no need to spend such unjustified money on a worthless wooden box.

Soon, laughter echoed from the private room once more, "What you say isn’t wrong."

After finishing his statement, Yin Tian’s tone shifted, and his laughter grew louder, "But what if this box has more than just that one function?"

At these words, everyone froze in place.

"I know you’re short-sighted, let me teach you a lesson today."

Yin Tian’s voice came through the loudspeaker again, "In ancient times, there was a tree called the Fusang Tree, legend has it that in the primordial era, the Fusang Tree was the bridge connecting heaven and earth, and upon it rested the ten golden crows."

Next, Yin Tian proceeded to tell the story of Hou Yi shooting down the suns.

Chu Renjie, too, listened with growing irritation and coldly interrupted, "This myth you’re talking about, who hasn’t heard it before?"

"Of course, everyone has heard the story of Hou Yi shooting down the suns. But what I’m about to emphasize is the main point."

Yin Tian’s voice, still cheerful, continued, "After Hou Yi shot down the suns, nine of the golden crows resting on the Fusang Tree fell, and from then on, there was only one sun in the sky."

"But the Fusang Tree could not withstand Hou Yi’s divine power and thus broke..."
