Chapter 768: Chapter 768

"Two hundred million!" Zhang Jun said coldly.

"Two hundred and fifty million." Wu Yun didn't show any weakness.

At this moment, the venue was silent; the other buyers had all withdrawn from the competition. After all, the Soul Resurrection Grass required a Secret Technique to revive the dead, but what was that Secret Technique? Only the devil knew.

"Is this grass really worth that much? Two hundred and fifty million, this is just too crazy." Li Yuqing said with some confusion.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Once the rich have money and status, the thing they fear losing the most is life, so they won't miss even the slightest chance."

As the two people continued to outbid each other, the price of the Soul Resurrection Grass had soared to five hundred million, and it seemed neither of them was giving up.

However, at this time, Wu Yun had started to hesitate, as five hundred million was already the equivalent of two years' income for the Wu family.

"Five hundred and fifty million!" Zhang Jun continued to up the bid.

Hearing Zhang Jun's offer, Wu Yun took a deep breath and finally gave up.

"The Zhang family really is wealthy, willing to spend five hundred million on a small plant. I admire that," Wu Yun said with reluctance.

Seeing that Wu Yun was not continuing to bid, Wang Zixuan picked up the small hammer in her hand.

"Five hundred and fifty million for the first time!"

"Five hundred and fifty million for the second time!"

"Six hundred million!"

Just as everyone thought the dust had settled, suddenly a cold voice rang out.

The auction hall suddenly fell quiet, and all eyes turned towards the stage, eager to see who was so bold as to offer six hundred million to compete with Zhang Jun for the Soul Resurrection Grass.

When they saw it was Lin Chen, everyone was shocked.

After all, although Lin Chen had medical skills, he was just of a farmer background; how could he possibly have so much money?

Seeing Lin Chen raising the bid, Zhang Jun's face also turned cold.

Zhang Jun had just managed to win the bid on a beauty serum, but because of Lin Chen, he hadn't even been able to send it out.

Now, just as he was about to succeed, Lin Chen was causing trouble again.

At this moment, all eyes in the auction hall were focused on Lin Chen, curious to see just how much resources this mysterious young man had.

Li Yuqing was almost scared silly hearing Lin Chen was willing to spend six hundred million on what she saw as a useless piece of junk.

Although Lin Chen had made quite a bit of money, he had amassed just under two hundred million so far.

But now Lin Chen had bid six hundred million in one go; where would the rest of the money come from?

"Have you gone mad, Lin Chen?" Li Yuqing whispered.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "This grass is somewhat useful to me, so I think it's better to bid for it."

To think that Lin Chen could speak so lightly and casually about spending six hundred million, Li Yuqing was speechless.

Zhang Jun's gaze was icy as he stared at Lin Chen, the corners of his mouth revealing a cold threat, "Mr. Lin, this grass is very important to our Zhang family, so I hope you can let me have it. How about that?"

"Sorry, it just so happens to be very important to me as well, so I hope Mr. Zhang can show some generosity," Lin Chen said.

Zhang Jun's gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen, his eyes flashing with cold murderous intent, "Fine, I want to see how long you can last!"

"Seven hundred million!"

"Eight hundred million," Lin Chen said flatly.

To everyone's surprise, the astronomical figure of eight hundred million was uttered by Lin Chen as if it were mere pocket change, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Even though everyone present was wealthy with fortunes over a hundred million, eight hundred million was enough to shake their foundations, and thus they couldn't possibly spend that much on a plant whose true usefulness was a mystery.

After hearing Lin Chen's bid, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth, feeling as though his heart was bleeding, but he still kept raising the price, "One billion!"

This was the maximum he could offer, and if Lin Chen kept raising the bid, he would have no choice but to give up.

All eyes were on Lin Chen, waiting to see if the young man would continue to follow the price.

"One billion, that's the net worth of many people here!"

Zhang Jun tensely stared at Lin Chen, but Lin Chen still called out his bid, "1.1 billion!"

At this moment, Li Yuqing at Lin Chen's side was nearly scared silly, "Lin Chen, have you lost your mind? 1.1 billion! Where are you going to get that much money?"

Li Yuqing even found it somewhat incomprehensible and touched Lin Chen's forehead to see if he was running a fever.

1.1 billion was an amount she couldn't earn in several lifetimes, and even if she sold everything she had, it wouldn't cover the cost!

"It's just 1.1 billion, not that much money," Lin Chen said astonishingly.

Now, Lin Chen's net worth was easily over tens of billions. Although 1.1 billion was a considerable sum, he still had sufficient strength to bring it forth.

Hearing Lin Chen's bid, Zhang Jun's face immediately turned ugly, as he had no means to continue raising the price.

"Mr. Lin, truly a tycoon, willing to spend 1.1 billion for a mere plant. It seems I've really underestimated you."

Lin Chen responded with a faint smile, "You flatter me."

Zhang Jun stomped back to his seat, then a senior figure beside him asked softly, "Sir, are we just going to let this go?"

"Let it go?" A cold look crossed Zhang Jun's face.

"We must get our hands on the Soul Resurrection Grass. Since this kid is courting death, I'll oblige him. We'll just snatch it from his hands."

The senior figure nodded, "Alright, sir, I'll go arrange it right away."

At that moment, accompanied by the hammer striking, Lin Chen finally acquired the Soul Resurrection Grass.

However, just then, an unexpected change occurred.

The dozen or so bodyguards at the door had their throats slit with daggers by an assailant.

What was even more shocking was that these bodyguards were all rigorously trained, yet they stood no chance against these assailants.

The security personnel inside the room also changed color, rushing forward to block those dozen or so men clad in black.

But the battle quickly became one-sided.

Just then, Xiao Yun rushed over with a grave expression, grabbing Wang Zixuan's arm, "Miss, follow me quickly."

As she spoke, her five bodyguards escorted Wang Zixuan out.

These black-clothed men were extraordinarily strong, particularly four among them, whose movement techniques were as fast as lightning.

With just a few rapid movements, they caught up with Xiao Yun and her group, who were retreating.

"Attack, stop these guys," Xiao Yun commanded furiously.

Her several security personnel swiftly charged over, intercepting the four men.

Xiao Yun, meanwhile, continued to escort Wang Zixuan out.

Just as they reached the entrance, suddenly, a black-clothed figure appeared before them, fast as lightning.

Xiao Yun's complexion changed, and reaching out her hand, a dagger appeared, which she thrust at the black-clothed figure.

Accompanied by a flash, Xiao Yun's dagger struck the black-clothed person.

However, a flickering shadow passed, and the black figure suddenly vanished.

"Damn it! It's a feint."

Turning her head, Xiao Yun saw the black-clothed man lunging towards Wang Zixuan.

Wang Zixuan stood frozen in fright, her eyes filled with terror at the black-clothed man approaching.

His eyes gleaming with cold intent, the black-clothed man reached out towards Wang Zixuan.

Just when his hand was about to grasp Wang Zixuan, all of a sudden, a hand materialized from nowhere and fiercely clasped the black-clothed man's wrist.
