Chapter 134 Murderous Intent

Lin Tian put on a look of deep concern and said with eyes full of tenderness, "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell me! Seeing you in pain makes my heart ache as well!"

If she didn't know that her father had almost been killed by Lin Tian, she would definitely have fallen even more in love with him because of these caring words.

But ever since she learned about those things and felt a sense of revulsion in her heart, it just made her feel sick.

How could a person be so greasy?

Could he really not know how disgusting his words were?

If she weren't unable to beat Lin Tian, she wouldn't have bothered to endure this any longer and would definitely have slapped him right across the face.

That would make this guy wake up!

"Thank you!"

Nangong Ruge forced herself to suppress the nausea in her heart and responded with a cold expression.

As for Nangong Ruge's attitude, Lin Tian was indifferent and didn't take it too much to heart.

The more arrogant Nangong Ruge acted, the stronger the sense of accomplishment he would feel after conquering her.

After a dozen or so items were auctioned off in succession, the medicine cauldron was finally brought onto the auction stage.

"I suppose everyone is curious about the origin of this medicine cauldron, right? Actually, our auction house officials haven't figured it out either; we just felt that this medicine cauldron has some value, so we decided to put it up for auction."

The Handsome Old Man said with a smile on his face, continuing, "Our auction house cannot guarantee the specific value of this medicine cauldron, so let's set the starting bid at one dollar!"

"If anyone knows their stuff, feel free to bid; there are no restrictions on the bidding price! If you don't wish to bid, just wait for the next lot!"

"Please place your bids!"

Hearing the Handsome Old Man's words, many people at the scene revealed looks of curiosity in their eyes.

A medicine cauldron whose specific value even the Wanbao Auction House officials don't know?

Could there really be something fishy about it?

A starting bid of one dollar!

This must be the lowest starting bid since the founding of the Wanbao Auction House, right?

It seems that even the Wanbao Auction House officials are not confident that they can auction off this medicine cauldron.

However, everyone at the scene was not short on money, and even if just to show support, they were willing to participate.

Therefore, someone soon placed a bid!

"500,000!"

"800,000!"

"1.5 million!"

Those who could attend this auction had a net worth of at least the hundreds of millions, so they didn't care about a few hundred thousand or a million.

Lin Tian stared at the medicine cauldron with burning eyes, and upon hearing the others bidding randomly, a cold sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

These idiots! If they knew what was inside this medicine cauldron, they would absolutely never bid such a low price!

The value of that spirit breaking pill, let alone a few million or tens of millions, is worth hundreds of millions!

Lin Tian was in no rush to bid, lest he let anyone discover anything suspicious.

If he could win this medicine cauldron at the lowest price, that would naturally be best. Even if someone were to bid against him in the end, it wouldn't matter. Regardless, he was determined to get this medicine cauldron!

Rather than saying he was determined to get the medicine cauldron, it would be more accurate to say he was determined to get the spirit breaking pill inside!

Once he won the medicine cauldron, he would immediately consume the spirit breaking pill inside.

Because once the spirit breaking pill is taken out of the medicine cauldron, its medicinal properties will continuously dissipate. If not consumed quickly, the spirit breaking pill will soon become a useless pill!

Moreover, the medicinal effect of the spirit breaking pill is extremely fast; within minutes of consumption, one can break through their cultivation realm!

After experiencing so many things, Lin Tian had long been longing for a breakthrough. If his cultivation realm had been stronger, he wouldn't have ended up in that situation on the island earlier.

The sound of bidding at the scene gradually diminished. It wasn't until someone bid five million that no one else continued to bid.

Although everyone at the scene was not short on money, they weren't fools either! Spending five or six million to buy something like this would be fine if it were real, but if they bought it back and discovered it was a toy, they would become a laughingstock!

The price of five million was already the ceiling!

"Five million once!"

"Five million twice!"

"Five million three..."

Just as the Handsome Old Man was about to bring down the gavel, Lin Tian slowly raised his placard: "5.01 million!"

He wanted to wait until the very end to make his move so he could win the medicine cauldron at the lowest price and with the fastest speed.

Moreover, he could see that five million was already the highest price these people could accept. Whether he bid 5.01 million or six million, these people probably wouldn't follow up. Since that was the case, why should he waste an extra million?

The wealthy tycoon who had bid five million turned his head to look at Lin Tian and immediately chose to give up.

Just now, when no one followed up on his bid of five million, this tycoon already had some regrets. Spending five million to buy such an item was clearly not worth it. That was equivalent to throwing money into the water!

Now that Lin Tian had bid 5.01 million, it immediately made him heave a sigh of relief, and he gave up the auction right away.

"Ten million!"

Just as Lin Tian thought no one would bid, a voice echoed throughout the entire auction hall. Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at Jiang Chenfeng with faces full of astonishment.

"Huh? It's the son of the richest man!"

"It's Young Master Jiang!"

"Young Master Jiang hasn't bid this whole time, why is he coming to bid on something like this now?" the crowd whispered.

Lin Tian's expression darkened instantly, and he immediately looked at Jiang Chenfeng, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

This guy was clearly targeting him! He hadn't bid on so many antiques and paintings earlier, but the moment he saw him bid, he was willing to bid! If this wasn't specifically to snatch things from him, what was it?

"Ten million once!"

The Handsome Old Man subconsciously glanced at Jiang Chenfeng, slightly stunned, recognizing Jiang Chenfeng's identity.

As the person in charge of the auction, he naturally knew that this medicine cauldron had been sent by Jiang Chenfeng. Since Jiang Chenfeng had sent it himself, why was he bidding for it himself?

Although the auction house didn't have rules stating that the owner of an auction item couldn't bid on their own items, if he were to win his own item, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

Furthermore, even if he won his own item, he would still need to give the auction house a commission! Of course, the Handsome Old Man wouldn't stop him. As long as the auction item could be sold, the auction house officials would definitely be making a profit without any loss.

"11 million!"

Lin Tian's expression was incomparably gloomy, and he had to raise his placard to bid. He certainly couldn't give up on the auction!

The spirit breaking pill inside, even if it fell into someone else's hands, absolutely could not fall into Jiang Chenfeng's hands!

Moreover, he still didn't know whether Jiang Chenfeng was deliberately acting against him or if he had discovered the spirit breaking pill inside the medicine cauldron?

Logically speaking, the medicine cauldron hadn't leaked even the slightest aura, so it should be impossible for Jiang Chenfeng to know there was a pill inside!
