This piece of wood seems to possess some divine power. We aren’t even certain what it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mercenary in Southborne discovered it by chance and set the starting bid at 50 million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked up with a platter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the platter was uncovered, one could see a wooden branch about half a meter long and only as thick as a thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branch obviously had some age to it, likely at least a thousand years old, and most peculiarly, lightning coursed around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It lay quietly in the tray, and one could clearly hear the ‘crackle’ of the electricity. Beyond that, one could feel a power of thunder within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, everyone was perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, no one present could recognize this wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this? Such a weird piece of wood, and it’s going for a million? How dare they set such a price?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A million could hire an elite mercenary as a bodyguard for a month!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These mercenaries truly consider anything a treasure. Who would buy such a mysterious branch with no known purpose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Southborne, there are those who live by the sword, called mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals only pursue money. As long as they are paid, they can be hired to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This includes protecting the employer, killing for the employer, or escorting businessmen across borders, and if paid, even having a female mercenary warm your bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When these mercenaries don’t have tasks, they venture into wilderness, glaciers, and the dangerous seas in search of rare treasures to auction off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This piece of wood was provided by one such mercenary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Dong could not discern what kind of thing this wood was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, a long-absent voice echoed in Lin Dong’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, bid for this wooden branch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the voice of the Sovereign Witch, who hadn’t communicated mentally with Lin Dong for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong hadn’t expected that after such a long silence, the senior Sovereign Witch would instruct him to bid for this wooden branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this branch is not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Communicating mentally with the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong asked curiously, “Senior Sovereign Witch, is this branch some kind of treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Lightning Cloud Wood, incredibly rare, an ancient tree over three thousand years old, formed through nine or more lightning baptisms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lightning Cloud Wood is the main material for refining the Five-grade Thunder Tribulation Pill. With it, you have a chance to refine the Thunder Tribulation Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the Thunder Tribulation Pill would be extremely beneficial for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong was startled and said excitedly, “The Thunder Tribulation Pill, is it a pill that can easily resist the lightning punishment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior Sovereign Witch nodded, “Monsters like you would attract heavenly tribulations if you reach the strength of a ten-stage Grandmaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The destructive power of such thunder is terrifyingly strong; even someone like you only has a fifty percent chance to withstand it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you take the Thunder Tribulation Pill, you have a more than ninety-five percent chance to withstand the tribulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So if you can refine the Thunder Tribulation Pill before you’re promoted to a ten-stage Grandmaster, it’s like having another protective charm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing all this, Lin Dong quickly replied, “But I don’t know the formula for the Thunder Tribulation Pill, and, right now, refining a five-grade Dan medicine is a bit difficult for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong has thus far refined Dan medicines up to a third-grade quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for five-grade Dan medicines, he has no assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most critical point is that he does not possess the formula for the Thunder Tribulation Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know where to find the formula for the Thunder Tribulation Pill, but first, you must win the bid for this Lightning Cloud Wood.” The senior Sovereign Witch replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong nodded and severed the mental connection with the Sovereign Witch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to reality, Lin Dong found that at the auction, nobody had placed a bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it made sense, as no one present knew the origin of this ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’ or its significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So who would spend a million to purchase such a distinctive branch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bid a million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Dong was the first to place a bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the previously neglected branch gained attention due to Lin Dong’s bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone speculated whether this son-in-law of the Dan Alliance knew what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xing also thought this way, and he immediately raised the bid: “I bid twenty million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his bid, Lin Dong frowned slightly, glancing in his direction. He knew very well that the other party was deliberately raising the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Xing, after being made a fool for several billion, do you still have the money to play the fool?” Lin Dong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xing scoffed coldly, “Tens of millions are nothing. I could drop something worth more than tens of millions from my pocket.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he wore many valuable items, such as a watch, like a Jade Pendant…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These items are top-tier limited edition luxury goods, indeed valued at tens of millions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong laughed, “Since you enjoy being played for a fool so much, fine, I’ll continue to oblige you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Dong raised his bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you dare to keep up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong instantly raised the price to a billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Luo Xing’s face alternated between green and white. He hadn’t expected Lin Dong to change tactics with his price increase this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a little tempted to continue raising, but feared Lin Dong might pull out suddenly like the last two times, again making him the fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after hesitating, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, “A piece of broken wood, and you actually offered a billion, Dong Lin, you truly are a talent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t continue. You can have it, hahaha… you big fool!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed he was victorious this time, thinking he had made Lin Dong look foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But little did he know, this ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’, never mind a billion, even a hundred billion would not be a loss for Lin Dong. It was never about being played for a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for him, this ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’ was a priceless treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was entirely different from the two futile expenses Luo Xing made earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Chen Yu glanced around, asking, “Mr. Dong Lin has placed a billion bid, does anyone wish to bid higher?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ten seconds, still, no one placed a bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Chen Yu prepared to strike the hammer, making the final decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, this mysterious wooden branch shall go to Mr. Dong Lin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the hammer was about to drop, and Chen Yu was about to announce the Lightning Cloud Wood was won by Lin Dong, a voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, I bid a hundred and ten million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden bid took Lin Dong by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly looking towards the source of the voice, he surprisingly found that the bidder was the mysterious black-robed person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dong’s expression changed slightly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart, he secretly thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that this mysterious black-robed person also knows the origin of the Lightning Cloud Wood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to win bid for this Lightning Cloud Wood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-06T01:28:55.272Z",1,"novelbin.me","65c3cc06444d81cc2e4abbc411aa8abb8dc63bac2e2d64833d229c0b28478a8a","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-1894","urban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-chapter-1892",2938,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-divine-doctor-descends-the-mountain-cover.jpg"]
