Chapter 565 Stop Barking Here_1
Hua Zhiqiang gave an embarrassed smile, glanced at Jiang Chen, and did not explain.
Lu Chengfeng understood in an instant, smiled lightly at Jiang Chen and nodded, to which Jiang Chen nodded back.
"Welcome everyone to..."
The auction began, and the auctioneer introduced the bidding process, launching today’s auction.
As time passed, it wasn’t long before the auction drew to a close, neither Hua Zhiqiang nor Lu Chengfeng had bid on a single item.
"Does Mr. Lu really intend to compete with me for that Pill Furnace?" Hua Zhiqiang couldn’t help but speak up.
If it had been before, Hua Zhiqiang wouldn’t have minded facing off against Lu Chengfeng, but now, because he had to pay Jiang Chen the life-preserving fee, he valued every penny and was thinking about earning all ten years of life-preserving money in full.
Lu Chengfeng was slightly startled, glanced at Jiang Chen, and, thinking of something, said with a smile, "Since Mr. Hua and Mr. Jiang are interested in that Pill Furnace, I shall not snatch love with a borrowed knife. Meeting Mr. Jiang again today was worth the trip."
"Next, we have the final item of the day, a Pill Furnace passed down from the era of the former dynasty. According to the owner of the Pill Furnace, this was once used by the great master Xu Fu. As to whether it’s true or false, the organizers have emphasized that they cannot guarantee this."
At this moment, the final item was brought to the stage. The auctioneer announced loudly, "Therefore, the organizers have agreed to allow a fifteen-minute appraisal time before the start of bidding. Within these fifteen minutes, everyone can come closer to have a look."
Thud thud thud!
Four strapping men in black struggled to carry in a Pill Furnace nearly half a person tall. By the time they set it on the stage, their faces were flush with strain. Only after placing down the Pill Furnace did they catch their breaths.
