Chapter 51: The Millennium Ginseng is in Hand!

Hearing Qi Ruoxue's words, Ye Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.

This girl, how could she still remember what he said back in high school!

Ye Feng remembered that he had once bragged that if he ever became rich, he would definitely keep Qi Ruoxue as his mistress, but that was just a joke; how could she take it seriously!

Besides, even if he really wanted to keep Qi Ruoxue, that old man Qi Jingfu would certainly never agree to it!

After all, Qi Jingfu only had this one precious granddaughter!

Furthermore, this one hundred million was simply a drop in the bucket for their Qi Family!

Seeing that Ye Feng did not respond to her, Qi Ruoxue also tactfully stopped speaking.

If Ye Feng possessed Mind Reading, he would definitely be petrified on the spot!

At this moment, Qi Ruoxue was calculating in her heart how to get Ye Feng to keep her!

Returning to the main topic, after the Imperial Green Jade was sold, the Auction returned to its original rhythm.

Although the next few auction items were also of great value, Ye Feng did not take a fancy to any of them.

He sat in his seat, so bored he was almost falling asleep.

"The next auction item, a Qing Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain Vase, starting bid three million!"

"The next auction item, Ming Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting, starting bid five million!"

"The next auction item, Qing Dynasty Jade Carving, starting bid four million!"

Listening to Ouyang Mei'er's introduction, Ye Feng felt no ripples in his heart.

Although these auction items were precious, they held no great attraction for him.

He yawned and said to Qi Ruoxue in a low voice: "Ruoxue, how much longer until the Millennium Ginseng? I'm so bored I'm about to fall asleep!"

Qi Ruoxue smiled, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Don't be impatient, the main event is still to come. Besides the Millennium Ginseng, I heard there is also a mysterious auction item; this is also the main reason why so many big shots are at this Auction."

Just then, Ouyang Mei'er suddenly announced: "The next auction item, the Millennium Ginseng!"

"This ginseng was harvested from the depths of Changbai Mountain, is over a millennium old, and has excellent medicinal properties!"

"Starting bid one million, each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand; now, the bidding begins!"

As soon as her voice fell, someone in the audience immediately raised a paddle: "One million five hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

"Three million!"

"Four million!"

The bidding voices rose one after another, and the price was quickly raised to four million.

Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately raised his paddle: "Five million!"

Once five million was called, the whole venue suddenly went quiet, and everyone looked at Ye Feng.

"Is this person crazy? Spending five million to buy a ginseng?"

"Who knows, maybe he has too much money and nowhere to spend it."

"However, that piece of jade just now made him a fortune; maybe he really just has money to burn!"

Just as everyone thought this Millennium Ginseng would be bought by Ye Feng without any suspense, a low voice suddenly sounded: "Six million!"

Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the source of the voice, discovering that the one raising the paddle was a middle-aged man wearing a gray suit.

Ye Feng looked at the middle-aged man, unhurried, and raised his paddle again: "Seven million!"

This Millennium Ginseng was his mother's lifeline; no matter how much money it cost, Ye Feng was determined to get it!

The middle-aged man was unhurried and raised his paddle: "Eight million!"

Ye Feng's expression became even uglier, but he did not back down and raised his paddle again: "Nine million!"

The middle-aged man smiled and did not continue to follow the bid.

Seeing that no one else raised a paddle, Ouyang Mei'er immediately announced: "Nine million! Congratulations to Mr. Ye for winning this Millennium Ginseng!"

After securing the Millennium Ginseng, Ye Feng's heart was filled with urgency.

He turned to Lei Qianqian and said: "Qianqian, can you help me pay first? I want to go home immediately to use this ginseng to treat my mother's illness."

Lei Qianqian shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of reassurance: "Benefactor, don't be impatient, the Auction will end soon; it won't make a difference to wait a moment."

Ye Feng frowned; although he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he could not say anything more.

He nodded and sat back in his seat, but his heart remained anxious.

For the next hour or so, the Auction continued.

Ye Feng sat in his seat, closing his eyes to rest, saving his energy to treat his mother.

Just then, Ouyang Mei'er smiled and announced: "Distinguished guests, the Auction is nearing its end; next is the final auction item of this event!"

As soon as her voice fell, everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the stage.

Ouyang Mei'er clapped her hands lightly, and a staff member pushed a small cart onto the stage, with a red cloth covering it.

Ouyang Mei'er walked to the side of the small cart and gently lifted the red cloth, revealing an exquisite Golden Ring.

"The mysterious auction item is just such an ordinary gold bracelet?"

"Is your auction house playing us for fools? You dare to bring out this kind of thing for the finale?"

"Exactly, exactly, how much is this broken bracelet even worth!"

Once this ring appeared, voices of doubt immediately erupted from the audience.

Ye Feng sat in his seat, feeling a faint sense of disappointment in his heart.

I had thought the final auction item would be something special, but after waiting for over an hour, it turned out to be just an ordinary Gold Bracelet.

Seeing this, Ouyang Mei'er was neither hurried nor impatient: "Distinguished guests, please remain calm."

"This Golden Ring is no ordinary Gold Bracelet; it is the key to the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

"The key to the Ghost Doctor Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the entire venue was instantly in an uproar, and everyone widened their eyes, staring at that Golden Ring.

Ye Feng's heart jolted, and a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes.

He whispered to Qi Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, what do you think?"

Qi Ruoxue shook her head: "I don't know either."

Ouyang Mei'er continued: "Distinguished guests, I believe you have all heard of the Ghost Doctor Sect."

"It was a mysterious sect from ancient times, and legend has it that they held the secret to immortality!"

"However, they disappeared over twenty years ago without a trace or any news."

"After years of investigation, our auction house has finally found the ruins of the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

"And this Golden Ring is one of the keys to opening the ruins of the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

As soon as her voice fell, someone in the audience immediately questioned: "Since it is the key to the Ghost Doctor Sect, why don't you explore it yourselves instead of putting it up for auction?"

Ouyang Mei'er smiled, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "That gentleman asks a good question. Although our auction house has found the ruins of the Ghost Doctor Sect, the ruins are fraught with danger; without experts for protection, we simply cannot enter and exit safely."

"Furthermore, this Golden Ring is only one of the keys, and the whereabouts of the other key remain unknown to this day. After much deliberation, we decided to auction off this Golden Ring and let those destined to find it explore the secrets of the Ghost Doctor Sect!"

As soon as her voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire venue instantly became tense.

Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at that Golden Ring.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up, Ouyang Mei'er smiled lightly and announced: "One of the keys to the Ghost Doctor Sect, starting bid, one hundred million!"
