If you are on the same field there will always be competition, it’s normal that they don’t look down nor like each other.

“Come on, let’s go in too, or we’ll catch cold here!”

Due to his identity Qu Qi directly entered the partition room.

Next door, Qin Ping bowed to Chu Mu and whispered: “Master, Qu Qi from Ji Shitang has arrived, right east of us.”

Chu Mu lowered his eyes, unable to see what emotions it reflects: “Okay”

Qin Ping: “Wu Shannan of Renhetang is here too—blue herb, I’m afraid there will be long round of biddings”

A smile appeared on Chu Mu’s lips that looks too meaningful: “We’ll see.”

A warm pavilion was built in the garden, it was meticulously prepared for this event, the separate hall was very large. Xie Tingyue sat in front with Qi Wenhai with a good view.

As expected the comparison ahead is really financial resources.

The same treasures and artifacts were sent on stage and the host enthusiastically introduces various rare items; where it came from, how good and wonderful the items and how much was the bidding price. As this time the big guys are all still quiet, no one will end it immediately.

The new and young businessmen are the ones who was enjoying the bidding and competing making the event hotter which also pays a role in attracting the audience.

Of course things like agate bowls, painted woodcarvings, famille rose porcelain vases, not to mention the value of money, the bidding will definitely not lose.

The brilliant bidding performances of the big guys are generally in the second half, but today was different—an accident will happen.

The numbers of blue herbs is very small, and the materials are rare and expensive but because of its special properties not many people want it so obviously it can be the finale on the first half and it’s only on at halftime.

Qu Qi of Ji Shitang called.

“One hundred taels”

The starting price is slightly higher than the market price but not much higher.

Because of Qu Qi’s status no one will compete with him, at most they will raise the price so the other party will have face but it would not be too expensive.

“One hundred and two”

“One hundred and twenty two!”

“One hundred and thirty taels”

Soon, the price to 180 taels from Qu Qi, everyone stopped the biding and looked Qu Qi with a smile. The meaning was obvious: Congratulations, boss Qu, you got a good medicine!

Qu Qi waved his hand in acknowledgment, which brought everyone’s affection.

On the welcoming atmosphere of praises, the host on stage smiled and lifted the hammer—

“Three hundred taels!”

Suddenly someone shouted, looking provocatively.

Everyone stiffened, it was Wu Shannan from Renhetang!

Yes, with Qu Qi’s identity the interest would definitely different, everyone was giving him face but some people would not do it necessarily—such as rivals.

The main business of Renhetang is not in the capital yet, so they are not afraid of Qu Qi.

Qu Qi glance lightly at Wu Shannan and continued to bid: “Three hundred fifty taels.”

“Four hundred taels.”

“Four hundred and fifty-two.”

“Five hundred and two!”

Wu Shannan bit on his lips, not retreating for half a step as if he is bound to won. The numbers of bids is getting higher and higher and it still keeps on going up, far exceeding the price of Lanying Herb itself.

There was an uproar in the hall.

Everyone whispered and talked about: whats going on?

Lanying herb is indeed scarce and hard to find in the market but it has only a single effect and is really tasteless, what kind of rare herbal medicine can’t be bought with money?
