Rakish Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 567 - Dragon Blood Spiritual Root
Li Qianfan couldn't be completely certain, but six hundred thousand wasn't considered expensive for him, so why not take a chance!
If he lost the bet, he would only be losing six hundred thousand, but if he won the bet, it would be a huge steal!
Li Qianfan was already capable of making Spirit Pills, but there was always a possibility of failure in alchemy.
If this furnace was indeed an Alchemy Furnace, having it to assist him later would increase Li Qianfan's success rate in producing Spirit Pills, and improve the quality and effect of the Spirit Pills!
The auction was still ongoing.
The nineteenth auction item was presented on stage, a medicinal herb—exactly the one Li Qianfan had been thinking about, suspected to be the Red Blood Spirit Root!
However, at that moment, looking at the Red Blood Spirit Root, Li Qianfan's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment!
Because that wasn't the Red Blood Spirit Root!
It was the even rarer and more valuable, more potent Dragon Blood Spiritual Root!
Li Qianfan looked at the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root in disbelief, and the excitement in his heart made his hands tremble slightly.
The Dragon Blood Spiritual Root possessed all the effects of the Red Blood Spirit Root and could also enhance a Martial Artist's strength, with a certain chance of helping a Martial Artist break through to a higher realm!
For a Martial Artist, the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root was simply a divine medicine!
In other words, if Li Qianfan managed to acquire this Dragon Blood Spiritual Root, he could use it to make the Dragon Blood Elixir, which would not only completely heal Liu Ruyan's injuries and help her recover her strength, but also potentially allow Liu Ruyan to advance further, reaching a higher realm!
"This luck is just too good..." Li Qianfan murmured to himself, struggling to regain his composure.
The female auctioneer spoke in a seductive tone, "After appraisal by several experts from our company, this herb is identified as the Blood Ginseng from the legends..."
Blood Ginseng my ass, that's the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root! A rare and precious medicinal herb!
"Blood Ginseng has better effects than regular ginseng, not only enhancing vitality but also possibly extending one's life..."
Your company's treasure appraisers might as well go home and feed pigs!
With each word from the auctioneer, Li Qianfan sneered internally.
Thinking about it made Li Qianfan smile; fortunately, the appraisers at the Tianyuan Trading Company were blind, otherwise this Dragon Blood Spiritual Root would never have appeared in this auction!
The standard of this auction was embarrassingly low compared to such a precious medicinal herb like the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root, so low it was infuriating!
"Now, the bidding for the Blood Ginseng begins, starting at eight hundred thousand, with each bid increment not less than fifty thousand."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, an old man in traditional attire raised his board, "I bid eight hundred thousand..."
"Two million!"
A young man's voice suddenly rang out across the hall, interrupting the old man.
Everyone in the hall was stunned; just a second ago the bid was eight hundred thousand, and the next second it skyrocketed to two million, a rise beyond anyone's imagination!

But the most shocked person was Li Qianfan!
Li Qianfan swiftly turned his head to look, and saw a young man sitting in the center of the auction hall, holding a bidding sign confidently and composedly.
Who could it be but Su Wei from the Su Family!
Why did Su Wei suddenly raise the bid to two million?
Could it be that he also recognized that the herb wasn't Blood Ginseng but the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root?
This was trouble, he had encountered a rival!
Li Qianfan thought to himself, his palms sweating.
"I'm sure everyone here recognizes me, yes, I am Su Wei of the Su Family. If the esteemed guests present could do me the honor of not competing with me for this Dra... Blood Ginseng, I would be immensely grateful!" Su Wei said with a smile.
Su Wei almost let it slip!
He really recognized that this herb was the Dragon Blood Spiritual Root!
Li Qianfan's brows furrowed tightly, feeling immense pressure bearing down on him.
After all, Su Wei represented the Su Family, and surpassing Su Wei in terms of wealth was nearly impossible!
Although Li Qianfan had tens of millions in savings, compared to a prestigious family like the Su Family, it was truly a case of a small witch seeing a great wizard!
"Since Young Master Su wants it, this old man won't compete with you," the man in traditional attire said with a chuckle, settling back into his chair.
"If Young Master Su has spoken, what more is there to say?"
"Who dares to oppose the Su Family?"
"I was planning to bid as well, but now it seems I better give up."
The guests at the scene unanimously agreed, clearly no one daring to compete with Su Wei.
Su Wei's face was full of smugness, and if he had a tail, it would surely be wagging to the skies by now.
Seeing that no one offered a higher price, the female auctioneer said, "Two million for the first time! Two million for the second time! Two million for the—"
Just as the deal was about to be sealed, Su Wei grew increasingly smug.
But at that moment, a voice once again resounded throughout the venue.
"Hold on!"
The female auctioneer on stage stopped abruptly, as a man slowly stood up.
Who could it be if not Li Qianfan!
"What are you trying to do? Li Qianfan, I advise you not to oppose me!"
Su Wei stared coldly at Li Qianfan, speaking bluntly.
Su Wei had noticed Li Qianfan earlier when he was bidding on that furnace.
But since he had more important matters to attend to, he didn't have the inclination to directly confront Li Qianfan, nor did he try to trip him up.
But now that Li Qianfan had jumped out to cause trouble, how could he not be furious!
"Su Wei, others may fear the Su Family, but I don't. Besides, this auction is a place where the highest bidder wins, and you're forbidding me to bid. Isn't that a bit too overbearing? Do you own Tianyuan Company as well?" Li Qianfan said calmly.
Su Wei's face turned a furious shade of iron, and his hands clenched into fists.
"Then cut the nonsense, let's see the truth in action!" Su Wei scoffed.
Li Qianfan then looked towards the female auctioneer on stage and said, "I bid 2.05 million."
"2.2 million!" Su Wei raised the bid without hesitation.
"2.25 million," Li Qianfan said with a smile.
"2.5 million!" Su Wei declared emphatically.
"2.55 million." Li Qianfan followed suit again.
No matter how much money Su Wei offered, Li Qianfan would always add an extra fifty thousand, as if he could always outdo him.
Su Wei simply shouted, "Three million!"
But Li Qianfan still casually said, "3.05 million."
This truly infuriated Su Wei, who roared like a wild beast, "Four million!"
"4.05 million."
Li Qianfan paused, then spoke leisurely as if he didn't care, "No matter how much you bid, I will always have that little bit more. I know you're angry now, but don't be angry, anger harms the body."
Su Wei took a deep breath and said coldly, "Li Qianfan, I advise you to give up. This herb isn't for me, it's for our Family Head. Opposing me now means opposing our entire Su Family, and our Family Head will surely not let you off!"
