Chapter 582: Medicine Primer_1

"After that, the bridge connecting the Heavenly Realm and the mortal world completely vanished."

Yin Tian was still speaking in a storytelling tone, softly describing to the crowd.

"What do these stories have to do with this old wooden box?"

Chu Renjie let out a cold snicker, "What Heavenly Realm and mortal world, what kind of society are we in now? Are you still living in a dream?"

"Don’t talk, let me finish."

Yin Tian continued with a smile, "Afterwards, the Fusang Tree itself died, but the broken-off section of the trunk was taken by Hou Yi."

"Hou Yi discovered that, even though the Fusang Tree was dead, its trunk still had miraculous properties."

"Later, Divine Doctor used wood from the Fusang Tree in medicine and found it had the ability to bring back the dead and mend flesh and bones. Eventually, during great chaos throughout the world, that piece of the Fusang Tree disappeared too. However, objects made from the Fusang Tree’s wood remained, and this wooden box is one of them."

"Although this is just a mythological tale, the medicinal use of the Fusang Tree’s wood is true."

Yin Tian’s voice kept coming out of the loudspeaker and entering everyone’s ears, "This wooden box is one of them."

"Hahaha... What a joke!"

Chu Renjie let out a loud laugh, "A wooden box made from the Fusang Tree’s wood, reviving the dead, and mending flesh and bones, why don’t you say that owning this box could make one ascend to the Immortal Realm?"

"Wait a minute!"

In the auction room, someone suddenly spoke up.

It was an old man, extremely aged, with hair and beard both snow-white.

He slowly turned his head to look at the private room where Yin Tian was, "Young friend, may I have a look at this box?"

"Please do."

Yin Tian did not conceal anything and promptly replied.

The old man struggled to walk up to the auction stage, stretched out his hand, and took the box from the auctioneer.

The old man examined the box in front of him carefully. His murky eyes grew increasingly bright, "This..."

His body began to tremble, "It really is as the historical records described... It’s the real Fusang Tree!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Some skeptical individuals glanced at the old man and let out a cold snort, "Who is this old coot babbling on about?"

"Shush! Don’t you recognize who this is?"

"I don’t know him, who is he?"

"Central City’s number one Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor Qu! He’s not part of the three great Medical Families, but anyone who sees him must treat him with due respect, even people from first-class families are no exception!"

"What? This old man?"

The entire auction room, every corner, buzzed with conversation about the old man’s identity.

Meanwhile, Divine Doctor Qu was engrossed with the wooden box in his hands.

After hearing Divine Doctor Qu’s words, even Chu Renjie fell silent.

He had not expected such a shabby box could have such a significant background.

A while later, he still forced himself to speak with feigned calmness, "Hmph! What difference does it make? Even if it truly is wood from the Fusang Tree, it’s useless! To spend 9.1 billion on an item that’s only good as a decoration, it’s laughable!"

Before the words were finished, Divine Doctor Qu, holding the wooden box, turned and looked towards Yin Tian’s private room, "Young friend, I’m willing to pay 30 billion for this wooden box. Although I don’t have the money now, I can guarantee with my personal integrity that I will gather the full amount for you within six months!"

Chu Renjie fell silent once more.

He had just remarked that Yin Tian had spent 9.1 billion on a worthless box, only for Divine Doctor Qu to turn around and offer 30 billion for it. Wasn’t this publicly slapping his face?

Yet Divine Doctor Qu commanded high respect in Central City, and even his own father had to treat Divine Doctor Qu with the utmost respect!

"I’m sorry, but I’d like to keep this item for myself. However, if the esteemed sir likes it, I will personally deliver a piece of it to your residence in the future."

Yin Tian responded with a beaming smile.

Clearly, Divine Doctor Qu was not the type to bully others with his status.

"Ah..."

Divine Doctor Qu let out a soft sigh, "It is only because of you, young friend, that this item is recognized. Otherwise, this treasure might have continued to gather dust, unknown to the world."

He spoke as he handed the item back to the auctioneer.

The auctioneer’s hands trembled slightly.

After all, he was holding an object that someone offered 30 billion for, and even Yin Tian wouldn’t sell.

Soon, the wooden box was brought to Yin Tian’s private room, and Yin Tian completed the transaction with a card swipe.

"Yin Tian, what’s the actual use of this thing?"

Su Qinwei and several other girls surrounded the box, still unable to discern its significance.

"Didn’t I say? Bringing the dead to life, mending flesh and bones, but the wood from the Fusang Tree is only one component of the medicine. Gathering all the ingredients is no easy task."

Yin Tian let out a soft sigh, "It could take a lifetime and still not be enough to gather all the ingredients..."

As Yin Tian was lamenting, another item was brought up for auction.
