--- Chapter 145 ---
As the rumored healing herb entered everyone's views, a chill aura swept through the room, causing them to tremble in colds.
Even the auctioneer, who was actually a spirit king, couldn't help but gritted her teeth in shock because she didn't know the coldness would be this intense.
Xiao Xun threw something toward her, and she caught it with her hands, which is surprisingly a scorching red pill, but weirdly didn't burn her skin.
"Eat it." Xiao Xun calmly instructed, and the auctioneer nodded her head,
She gulped the red pill without any water, and a warm sensation spread to her whole body, which repelled the coldness from the evil moon grass.
"Ehem." The auctioneer coughed a little and went back to her professional persona because the coldness won't affect her body anymore.
She walked beside the jade box and naturally said, "This rumored healing grass, Evil Moon Grass."
"This grass only appeared once in a century and has a miraculous healing ability that could heal anything as long as someone's still breathing." The auctioneer confidently declared, and the audience released a gasp of shock.
'With that grass, we could heal Tang San's injury and probably mend back his external spirit bone.' Yu Xiaogang plastered a thoughtful expression onto his face and looked at the Evil Moon Grass with a peaceful gaze.
'We only have to win this item, and it should be fine...' He moved his gaze to Ning Fengzhi, who also looked at the grass with a calm expression.
The Seven Treasure Clan was famous in many ways through the years, but the only thing that even commoners know is that they are filthy rich.
If Ning Fengzhi or his lovely daughter wanted something, they could easily buy it with their money, which is why Ning Rognrong became somewhat spoiled.
"However, there is something that I need to state before we start the auction for the Evil Moon Grass." The auctioneer suddenly said, which caused everyone to frown.
"Although Evil Moon Grass has a miraculous healing effect... But, it contained a sinister poison that needed to be processed correctly." She firmly said with a solemn expression.
"What!" The young man, who ranted before, stood from his seat because he couldn't believe this ridiculousness.
He has been waiting patiently for this herb, but when it came to his view, he felt nothing but a disappointment in his heart.
"You should have a way to process this herb, right?" He coldly asked, but the auctioneer calmly responded with a shake of her head.
"Unfortunately, we don't have the right way to process this grass because we also only obtained it by a pure accident." The auctioneer answered, and the room became awkwardly quiet.
--- Yunlong's Room ---
Yunlong grinned a little and chuckled like he was witnessing something amusing.
'What If I told them that I have a way to neutralize the poison.' Yunlong suddenly thought, which caused him to grin even more.
'That should be more interesting, right...' He looked through the curtains and saw Yu Xiaogang's face became pale because his only hope could cause his student to die.
As the silence still occurred in the auction hall, Yunlong's calm voice suddenly echoed.
"I have a way to remove the poison." He casually said.
Everyone immediately moved their gazes to his room and noticed a grin behind those curtains, which brought a weird sensation to their hearts.
"Do you really have a way to remove the poison?" Yu Xiaogang asked with a frown on his face.
"Well, It's not that hard to remove Evil Moon Grass poison, and I can easily remove it now? But what should I..." Yunlong responded with a laugh because he wanted to see Yu Xiaogang fall into more hopelessness.
"You can?" The young man became excited when hearing Yunlong's response.
"It's easy," Yunlong answered with such confidence in his tone.
Ning Fengzhi slowly moved his gaze to Yunlong and asked, "May I know your name, young man?"
Yunlong didn't respond for a moment and then naturally replied, "Xiao Yan."
"Xiao Yan..." Flender muttered while trying to recall any famous name he knew, but nothing appeared from his head.
"I have never heard this name before." He continued.
"It's not his real name." Ning Fengzhi suddenly said with a smile on his face.
"Hmm? How did you know, sir?" Flender asked.
"My information gathering is superb, I could know what happened in this continent easily, but I have never heard anyone with the surname Xiao." Ning Fengzhi said while looking at Yunlong.
"There are two possibilities. This young man's identity is fake, or he didn't come from the douluo continent." Yu Xiaogang suddenly added, to which Ning Fengzhi reacted with a nod.
"You are right, but he is most likely someone with a fake identity." Ning Fengzhi said this because his student, the Crown Prince, knew this person.
'If Qinghe's friend came from the outside, then he should have told me about it.' He thought while shifting his gaze to Qian Renxue's room.
"Alright, everyone, shall we start the auction!" The auctioneer suddenly said, and everyone's attention came back to her.
"Evil Moon Grass, starting price, 100,000 gold coins." She boldly said without minding the audience's gasps.
"200,000!" The young man immediately doubled the price, which caused the auctioneer to smile.
"210,000."

"230,000."
"250,000."
The number kept increasing at a fast rate, and Ning Fengzhi quietlylooked at the situation.
"690,000!" Someone in the audience seats shouted.
--- Qian Renxue's room ---
"Hmm, should I buy this herb, big brother?" Xue Ke asked with a clueless expression because even though it was valuable, she didn't know anything about the medicinal herbs.
'Yunlong had many pills, which were far more powerful and potent than Evil Moon Grass in terms of healing, so I don't see any value in this grass.' Qian Renxue commented while looking at the auction hall.
"Well, you can try." Qian Renxue naturally responded, to which Xue Ke reacted with a smile.
"Then, I will increase the price a little bit." Xue Ke looked back at the auction hall.
"1,000,000 gold coins!" She cheerfully said, and the room once again became quiet.
.
.
"Crazy!"
"That's ten times the original price!"
"Also, it's the royal princess, who increased the price, so maybe we should stop."
However, Ning Fengzhi suddenly chuckled and said, "1,500,000 gold coins."
Ning Fengzhi's words shook the audience because they had never heard such an amount of gold coins.
"Uncle Fengzhi, Dummy!" Xue Ke suddenly shouted from the room, and Ning Fengzhi only shook his head at her.
"Please don't be mad, Princess Ke. I also need this grass." Ning Fengzhi said while pushing his glass a little.
'This is also an investment for my daughter's friend.' He calmly thought.
"Hmph." Xue Ke pouted because she was annoyed by Ning Fengzhi's reply.

However, this does not end here because Yunlong also entered the fight. "3,000,000 gold coins." He said.
.
.
.
"3-3,000,000 gold coins, my ears seem to hear the wrong number?"
"S-Such a big amount of money, how could someone have that much money."
Ning Fengzhi frowned a little and moved his gaze to Yunlong's room. "4,000,000." He solemnly said.
"8,000,000." Yunlong casually responded.
"OH MY GOD!!" The audience couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Did these people have a flowing river of gold in their house?"
Yunlong looked at Ning Fengzhi and provokingly said, "What's the matter? You didn't want to continue."
"I'd be really disappointed if you stopped here, Seven Treasure Clan's Head." He continued while releasing a chuckle.
"9,000,000..." Ning Fengzhi said while intently looking at Yunlong.
"F-Father, maybe we should stop." Ning Rongrong suddenly said while holding Ning Fengzhi's hand.
"Don't worry, Rongrong. This amount of money is nothing." Ning Fenzhi comforted his daughter with a reassuring smile on his face.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender felt such a heavy burden on their shoulders because 9 million gold coins are such an enormous amount of money, and they probably couldn't pay him back later.
"9,696,969 gold coins." Yunlong humorously said, which caused everyone to become numb because they thought he had given up.
"10,000,000!" Ning Fengzhi slightly raised his tone.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Yunlong clapped a few times and calmly said, "Congratulations for winning the Evil Moon Grass. Seven Treasure Clan Head"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly released a heavy sigh because he suddenly realized something and massaged his forehead in wonder.
"Hah... It's a trap, huh." He muttered.
