Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1399

The lights in the hall dimmed. The host walked up the stage, and everyone hushed. The auction has officially begun.

Without further ado, the host briefed the rules and immediately announced the commencement of the auction.

The first item auctioned was a Black Level martial arts manual, which was considered a high-grade item. A few families and individuals seated in the back raised their bid cards and bid on the item. They finally sold it for two million yuan.

The following items were auctioned off one by one, and the prices of the subsequent items kept rising. Soon after, more than a dozen items had been auctioned.

Fade did not bid for any of the items. However, the Luo family behind him bid several times during the auction and successfully bought two martial arts manuals. They were so overjoyed that they kept laughing throughout the auction.

Sandra and Audrea, on the other hand, had been whispering behind Fade's back.

"He sits in the VIP seat, but he didn't bid at all.

What is he doing here? Watching a show?"

"Poor guy. I bet he doesn't have money to bid for the items."

"That's true. The lowest reserve price of the items is at least a million yuan, and the price can easily go over a million. So it's normal that he can't afford it."

Ignoring their gossip, Fade waited patiently for the following item. The next item was the nourishing pill that Encyclo Hall would auction on his behalf. It was now known as the Longevity Pill, according to the auction list.

Many guests were also looking forward to seeing the next item like Fade. After all, no matter whether they were rich men or martial artists, none of them would say no to longevity.

As everyone whispered and stared at the stage expectantly, Olaric, dressed in a long robe, appeared and announced in a clear voice, "The next auction item is rather unique, so let me introduce it to you." "This is Longevity Pill. Just as its name implies, it has the effect of extending one's lifespan. At the same time, it may also cure various minor ailments. According to our estimation, if you take three bottles of the pill continuously for 3 months, it might extend your lifespan by two to three years"

The crowd buzzed in excitement as they heard about the pill's miraculous effect, and they couldn't stop discussing it.

"Prolong one's lifespan by two to three years? That's too impressive. I want to buy it."

"But, what kind of pill has this effect? It seems too exaggerated! Could it be fake?"

"It's fake! Are you kidding me? This is Encyclo Hall, and the appraiser is Olaric. Do you know what this means?"

"I believe Encyclo Hall won't make such a mistake, but it still sounds too far-fetched to me."

"No matter what, this kind of pill is extremely rare, and I'm going to buy it."

In the midst of the crowd's heated discussion, the Luo family also began to talk about it among themselves. "Longevity Pill that extends one's lifespan. It is what our Old Master needs the most, so we must bid for it!" "Yes, this is a rare opportunity."

"That's right. The quality of Encyclo Hall's items is guaranteed. There won't be any mistakes. We must bid later!"

Almost everyone from the Luo family showed interest in the Longevity Pill.

Everyone, except for Gentro. He frowned while he thought of something and asked, "The function of this Longevity Pill is similar to that of Mr. Chen's nourishing pill, isn't it?"

At the mention of Fade, everyone in the Luo family suddenly turned to look at him, their faces hostile.

"Gentro, don't mention the person who has fallen out with our family."

"That's right, brother! How could Fade's so-called nourishing pill compare to Encyclo Hall's Longevity Pill? They're not even on the same level," Sandra added immediately.

Even Master Luo chided, "Let's not talk about the past, and focus on the present."

Since Master Luo had already spoken, Gentro didn't dare to say anything else. He nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa, I understand."

At this moment, the discussion among the crowd became increasingly lively. Many grew impatient and started to holler at Olaric.

"Olaric, don't keep us waiting. Let's start the auction!" "That's right, we're losing our patience."

"How much is the reserve price? I'll try my best to bid on one or two bottles."

As the guests urged him to start the auction, Olaric explained, "This Longevity Pill was offered by a special guest from Encyclo Hall. The stock is limited and there are only ten bottles in total, so it is extremely valuable."

"The Longevity Pill will be auctioned off per bottle. The reserve price of each bottle is fifty million. The bid increment must not be less than one million. Now, well start with the first bottle. Everyone can now bid." As soon as Olaric finished announcing the rules, the auction hall bustled with noise.

"Fifty million!"

"Fifty-two million!"

"Fifty-five million!"

"Sixty million!"

The price soared all the way. In less than a few minutes, it rose to 80 million before it started to increase slowly.

The Luo family was also actively bidding for the pills. They had raised the price to 90 million, but their opponents had no intention of stopping and continued to raise the price.

The Luo family hesitated for a moment, and Master Luo didn't raise his bid card. "One hundred million yuan for a bottle, that is too high. Besides, the effect of the Longevity Pill may not be as good as they claim. Let's just wait and see, since there are still nine more bottles left. Maybe the price will drop."

At last, the first bottle of Longevity Pill was bought by a wealthy merchant at the price of 100 million yuan.

The bidding for the second bottle of Longevity Pill began immediately. As the bidders already had a clue on the reserve price of the first bottle, the price of the second bottle rose even faster. In less than a minute, it exceeded 100 million yuan and finally reached 120 million yuan.

The Luo family once again participated in the bidding. The bidding price soared to more than 100 million yuan, which wasn't what they expected. Barton looked at Master Luo and asked, "Dad, do we need to raise the bidding price again?"

Master Luo was silent for a while before he finally let out a disappointed sigh. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not continue to raise the price and wait for the following bottles. I don't believe that these people don't have any sense of reason to stop raising the price of this pill."

Master Luo once again gave up the bid for the Longevity Pill. The second bottle was finally sold at 120 million yuan.

The bidding for the following bottles went on without delay. The bidding price of the next few bottles of pills also rose rapidly, and they were still constantly growing. When the seventh bottle was auctioned off, the price had already been increased to 150 million yuan.

The pills had already risen to such a high price, which made the Luo family, who hadn't even gotten a bottle of it yet, look embarrassed.

"What's going on? Is everyone crazy? The price is still constantly increasing even when it is already so expensive!"

"So many rich people have already bid for the pills. They probably have no more money left for the ones left!"

"Yes, we will start bidding for the next bottle!"

The Luo family held on to their plan, but when the prices of the eighth and ninth bottles grew to 130 million yuan and 100 million yuan respectively, the faces of the Luo family turned pale.

Panic flashed across Master Luo's calm face.
