Chapter 188: Obtaining the Herb
Huo Xuan pursed his lips. “You’re not late. Xiao Zhu got it, but she didn’t use our money. She had prepared it in advance.”
Xu Huan’s eyes widened as he gasped in disbelief. “How, how much is it?”
Huo Xuan shrugged and replied, “One trillion.”
In front of everyone in the living room, the staff directly transferred a trillion yuan to the Gao family’s account. After confirming that the money had been transferred, he carefully handed the bank card that looked very expensive back to Mo Zhu. “Miss, the payment is successful. I’ll return your card.”
Mo Zhu nodded nonchalantly and calmly took the card. She ignored the others in the living room and left them with a cold back view of hers. She pushed open the door of private room one and entered it.
She didn’t care much about the money in her account. Feng Ke had secretly given her this black card when she came from Cloud City, saying that it was her personal account.
She had carried this card with her with the thought that a little more money would also be helpful. She did not expect that after adding the money Cheng Yi had given her, the amount of money in this card had exceeded 1 trillion.
However, it could also be considered a coincidence. If the price was raised by some wealthy family, she really might not have the money to buy this spirit medicine. If that happens, she would have to ask Huo Xuan for help.
Mo Zhu sat down facing the wooden table and poured a cup of tea for herself as if there was no one else around. Her fingers tapped the table gently rhythmically as she thought to herself that the herb she had gotten was really worth one trillion dollars. This little bit of money is not even worth mentioning compared to the spiritual herb she has gotten.
The few of them followed behind Mo Zhu and returned to the private room. Not long later, a waiter placed the spirit herb that Mo Zhu had won at a high price in the gift box.
Xu Huan looked at the strangely-shaped and crooked herb in the gift box and the corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly. “Little Bamboo, is this the herb that you won for a billion? It looks like it’s malnourished and hasn’t developed well. Where did it come from?”
When he first saw the spirit medicine, Xu Huan never expected that Mo Zhu would bid for such a seemingly malnourished item at such a high price.
When Mo Zhu heard this, she ignored Xu Huan’s question. She carefully sealed the box and placed it in the middle of the table seriously as if it was a treasure.
Seeing that Mo Zhu didn’t speak, Huo Xuan quickly gave Xu Huan and Mo Wu an expression, signaling them to keep silent. Since she wasn’t willing to tell them the origins of this thing at this moment, they naturally wouldn’t pester her and insist on an answer.
Although Mo Zhu was only a girl who was not even twenty years old, she had many identities and many secrets. Now that Mo Zhu, who rarely cared about other things, actually thought so highly of this spirit herb, the only thing he had to do was to protect the girl and the medicine.
At the same time, the auction outside was still in full swing.
After the crazy bidding for the spirit herb just now, the emcee pushed another spirit herb onto the stage from backstage. The host took the herbs from the emcee’s hand and started introducing it. As everyone was observing the appearance of the spirit herb, he slowly repeated the rules of the auction.
“Just like the rules of the auction just now, we are not announcing the name and the effects of this spirit herb on the stage. The starting bid is five billion. Please give it a good thought before bidding.”
Just as the host finished speaking, he raised his hand and signaled the emcee to start showing off this spirit herb. Unexpectedly, just as the corner of the spirit herb was shown, everyone in the living room turned their heads in disinterest.
In fact, it was not everyone’s fault for having a bad attitude. The spirit herb on the stage was said to be a mushroom similar to the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, but just by looking at it, it looked more like a stalk of grass. Not only did it look similar to grass, it even had slender roots under the round shroom head.
As before, the situation was similar. The people from the various large families walked out of the private rooms briefly and took a hurried look at the spirit herb on the stage. After which, they ignored it and returned to the private rooms to drink tea..
