Chapter 629: Chapter 629
"This is simply inhuman!"
"Not having the ability to spend exorbitantly just wastes Daddy's superb ability to earn money?"
Tu Yilong was so angry he almost jumped out of his chair, and he said coldly, "I bid five hundred million! The value of this Blue Cloud Stone is only worth three hundred million. Nowadays, no one can use the Blue Cloud Stone's rare material for weapon crafting, and its value has plummeted. Therefore, five hundred million is the limit price. Anyone who buys it for more than that is definitely an idiot!"
The Tu family members deeply believed that their mysterious ancestor, who disappeared centuries ago, might descend again.
When a Martial Sovereign level supreme powerhouse descends, these rare materials they collected will definitely play a significant role.
Therefore, Tu Yilong was almost determined to obtain this piece of Blue Cloud Stone.
Initially, he thought nobody would compete with him for it, as the item is currently considered a chicken rib—useless to want, yet regrettable to discard, unless one is a scion of a major clan who would intentionally collect such things.
Although Elder Xie was from the Valley of the Medicine King, and the Valley was a major force, these items were not very important to them, as Blue Cloud Stone is better suited for weapons, not for crafting alchemy furnaces. So, Elder Xie had little interest in it.
However, Xu Hao unexpectedly competed with Tu Yilong for the Blue Cloud Stone!
This caused Tu Yilong, in addition to feeling annoyed, to be somewhat puzzled: Could it be that Xu Hao is a distinguished disciple sent by a major clan to train in the mortal world? Otherwise, why would Xu Hao say that perhaps someone could make use of it in the future? Why else would he spend a lot of money on this chicken rib-like Blue Cloud Stone?
Tu Yilong felt that this might be the only plausible explanation.
But since Xu Hao wanted to compete with him, he could not avoid the fight!
So, Tu Yilong directly called out a high bid of five hundred million, even stating that anyone who buys it for more than that is an idiot.
However, Xu Hao laughed and said, "Tu Yilong, you are not getting any younger, why do you still always say such childish things? I have money, a surplus of it with nowhere to spend, so can't I buy some fun and beautiful things? I bid six hundred million."
Seeing Xu Hao directly call out a high bid of six hundred million, Tu Yilong was instantly furious and dangerously stared, wishing he could rush over and fight Xu Hao.
But he eventually suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, "Humph! Let you be smug for a moment. It's just a mere stone after all. Let's see what you will use to buy later good items when they appear!"
Xu Hao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't be short of money, no matter how expensive the items are, I can buy them all."
Elder Dong was laughing so hard he could barely close his mouth, and he shouted loudly, "Six hundred million for the first time! Six hundred million for the second time! Six hundred million for the third time! Sold! Congratulations to Young Master Xu for purchasing this extremely precious and rare Blue Cloud Stone for six hundred million!"
"Idiot!" Tu Yilong disdainfully cursed, but whether he was really envious or truly looking down on others, nobody could tell.
Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Tu Yilong, I said you're childish, and indeed you are. Can you only roar impotently here? If you're capable, snatch it away; if not, just stop talking."
"Humph! Keep jumping around, but hopefully, you can still walk out alive on tomorrow's arena!" Tu Yilong snorted coldly.
Xu Hao smiled, uninterested in engaging him further.
The auction progressed in an orderly fashion, with Tu Yilong seldom making a move. Clearly, his standards were extremely high, and ordinary items did not catch his eye.
Meanwhile, Xu Hao bought some jewelry for Chen Suyi and Anna. Ruyue insisted on not accepting, as her master had instructed her to never accept gifts from others, as one should not receive rewards without rendering services.
Gradually, the atmosphere of the auction became somewhat gloomy, and some people even appeared drowsy, as the auctioned items could no longer excite the crowd; they were rather dull. The auctioneers were few and far between, and the prices were not climbing.
But since it was a charity auction, if there really were no bidders, Li Chenggong, as the host, would take the initiative to purchase them.
Just then, Elder Dong suddenly said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item that will appear might make the vast majority of you quite excited, because it is something brought for auction by Elder Xie, and moreover, he will half of the auction proceeds directly to the charity fund!"

Hearing that it was something brought by Elder Xie, everyone was immediately thrilled; no wonder Elder Xie attended this not-so-ordinary auction, as he had brought something exciting.
What could it be from his hands?
Almost everyone could guess; it must be related to medicine, perhaps some kind of miraculous medicine!
People consume grain; who doesn't fall ill?
Some are plagued with serious chronic illnesses, and others may not suffer from serious illnesses but have recurrent minor ones. The medical skill "Spring Wind Transforms into Rain" demonstrated by Elder Xie earlier, allowed those younger and previously unacquainted with Elder Xie's powerful medical skills to personally experience the marvel of his medical skills.
