Four hundred million!
It was more than enough to purchase a section of Chen Chuan wood.
But what made everyone in the hall even more curious was the owner of this voice, the foreigner Baishi Sano!
Why did he care so much about a section of Chen Chuan wood?
They couldn't figure it out.
But before they could ponder further, Bai Zihe spoke again, with an overwhelmingly high bid: "One point four billion!"
"Hiss—"
Everyone present gasped.
What the hell.
Was that how you increased the bid?
He bids four hundred million, and you add one billion in one go...
Does being rich make you amazing?
Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have money?
As Bai Zihe's voice fell, the hall instantly fell silent.
Baishi Sano, on the other hand, was immediately enraged.
"Baka!"
"These ignorant Da Xia pigs are rich and foolish, adding one billion at once!"
This made him lose any desire to bid further.
He didn't even want to try.
He was afraid that if the other party decided not to buy it, spending fourteen hundred million on this item would be ridiculous.
But being suppressed like this undoubtedly made him feel very uncomfortable.
The hall remained quiet.
Originally, few people were willing to spend money at three hundred million.
Now, it was even less likely.
"Host."
Bai Zihe's calm voice came from the private room. "Since no one is bidding further, announce the result."
"This section of Chen Chuan wood..."
The host's gaze lingered on Baishi Sano's private room for a moment. Seeing that there was no further movement, he said, "belongs to the gentleman in private room Tian No. 1."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
This was the immense pressure brought by overwhelming power.
"Damn it!"
"Damn Da Xia people."
Baishi Sano couldn't help but curse again.
However.
He hadn't lost his reason.
Baishi Sano knew very well that these were just appetizers.
The real highlight of today was the last treasure, a treasure that would ignite the covetousness of everyone present.
After payment, the "Chen Chuan wood" was handed to Bai Zihe.
Ji Changqing, standing beside him, looked at the ordinary, even somewhat decaying, piece of wood and asked curiously, "Young Master, what's so special about this Chen Chuan wood that it's worth 1.4 billion?"
He wasn't questioning, just genuinely ignorant of this trade.
Bai Zihe smiled and said lightly, "A section of Chen Chuan wood is only so-so in value."
"But this section is no ordinary Chen Chuan wood."
Bai Zihe held it and played with it for a moment, then slowly said, "Within this section of Chen Chuan wood, there is an extremely violent lightning energy contained within."
"If it were released all at once..."
"It would be enough to kill hundreds or thousands of Grandmasters, and even a Great Grandmaster would be severely injured, if not killed!"
Ji Changqing was immediately stunned.
Martial Grandmaster...
He knew this level of expert, and had even seen them.
The security force of the Dragon Chen Chamber of Commerce's Jiangdong Provincial Branch had the strongest members as Martial Grandmasters, their power already exceeding ordinary understanding.
At least in the eyes of Ji Changqing, who didn't understand martial arts but had seen a lot.
Martial Grandmasters could scale walls and leap over roofs, and could use fallen leaves to injure people; they were already like human killing machines.
And this piece of wood...
Could easily obliterate hundreds or thousands of Martial Grandmasters...
Tsk, it was simply unimaginable.
Seeing his shocked and dazed expression, Bai Zihe couldn't help but smile.
He immediately broke off a piece of the Chen Chuan wood and handed it to Ji Changqing. "Old Ji, you've worked hard for me. This section of Chen Chuan wood is bestowed upon you."
"But remember."
"Be extremely careful when using it. Make sure they can control this power before attempting to wield it."
"Otherwise, you will harm yourself and others, and the treasure will be tarnished."
Ji Changqing was immediately overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your bestowal!"
He took it with trembling hands, wrapped it up, and put it into his inner pocket.
This cautiousness was like a child receiving their most cherished toy from their parents, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Although the section Bai Zihe broke off was only about one-third, worth at most three to four hundred million, this was the Young Master's grace!
Upon returning to the Dragon Chen Chamber of Commerce, it would undoubtedly make those old geezers envious.
Thinking of this.
Ji Changqing couldn't help but grin.
The auction continued.
After the Chen Chuan wood, several other treasures were presented, but Bai Zihe was not interested in any of them.
It wasn't until the very last item.
"The item to be auctioned next..."
On stage, the host's expression was solemn as he lifted the red satin covering it. "Is a true treasure!"
