To Gu Leng, Jiang Xiaobai appeared to play the fool.

He was filthy rich, like a fat lamb ready to be slaughtered.

Especially when Jiang Xiaobai bid without thinking, essentially skyrocketing prices. If someone said ten million, he might instantly raise it to fifty million.

Which auction house wouldn’t love a man like this?

However, below the stage, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t look like someone who’d casually spent billions of top-quality spirit stones. He sat leisurely, with an amused look on his face.

He appeared like a rich young master having a grand time here.

Standing beside him, Wenwen was utterly speechless at Jiang Xiaobai’s behavior.

No wonder he refused her acquisition proposal back then; this guy was loaded!

Originally, Jiang Xiaobai’s extravagant behavior was merely amusing and a topic of idle discussion; Wenwen and others didn’t take it seriously.

But as time passed, Wenwen was dumbstruck.

Jiang Xiaobai had a peculiar fascination for medicinal herbs. Anytime a medicinal herb came up for auction, he had to bid for it. He had to have it, even if it meant spending double the market price.

Jiang Xiaobai might be able to act recklessly, but the Medicine King Sect couldn’t!

The Medicine King Sect’s main target at this auction was the Huaching Pill that the Gu Clan was offering and a specially remarkable medicinal herb, which was critical for an elder in the Sect.

While they were interested in other herbs too, they had to manage their funds carefully.

Wenwen thought that even if they couldn’t earn most of the medicinal herbs, they would at least get one or two precious ones. Others would surely give the Medicine King Sect some face.

However, it seemed as though Jiang Xiaobai had no concept of saving face!

As soon as a medicinal herb appeared, he immediately made his bid, without wasting a moment. He dared to offer any price, even ten million for a medicinal herb worth barely over a million spirit stones!

Who could compete with that?

Even the wealthy Medicine King Sect couldn’t keep up with such reckless spending, could they?

Upon this realization, disciples from the Medicine King Sect wore resentful and furious expressions.

Weary that they couldn’t acquire the herbs, and enraged at why Jiang Xiaobai was treating money like dirt.

With clenched teeth, Wenwen only hoped that Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t snatch away future herbs and pills.

“Forget it. Let’s deal with it if he starts to bid on them,” Wenwen murmured.

As for Jiang Xiaobai, he continued unfazed.

Treasure?

Buy!

Medicinal Herb?

Buy!

Funky stuff?

Buy!

In short, he had one strategy for everything—Buy, Buy, Buy!

For a time, the auction seemed more like Jiang Xiaobai’s one-man-show. However, Jiang Xiaobai’s over-the-top behavior didn’t incite public outrage.

The items initially auctioned could hardly be considered treasures.

Still, some calculative folks were summing up the total Jiang Xiaobai had spent. In two hours, he had already spent nearly fifteen billion top-quality spirit stones.

And the auction has only reached the halfway point!

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t seem to be affected in the slightest. He was not after the treasures.

What he wanted was to see the Gu Clan suffer. He had decided to let the Gu Clan rejoice for now, before plummeting them into an abyss later.

Seeing Gu Leng smiling on the stage above, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

“Do they really take me for a fool?”

The auction proceeded smoothly, despite Jiang Xiaobai’s antics, the atmosphere remained exceedingly lively.

There had never been such a situation at any auction in the Northern State before, and the treasures the Gu Clan brought out this time were indeed quite impressive.

Very quickly, Gu Leng started speaking.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, the item up next is incomparable to anything we’ve seen before. Everything prior was just to warm things up. Now comes the real show!”

Following Gu Leng’s words, everyone below the stage let out a bitter laugh and shook their heads.

Only the Gu Clan could be so extravagant. They had warmed up the auction for such a long time. Any of those previous items in any other auction house would’ve been the finale.

However, everyone’s eyes were slowly brightening up. Many big shots, who hadn’t taken any action yet, also began to prepare.

“Next up, we have the Qian Yuan Life-giving Herb, ranked the thirteenth most precious herb in the Eastern Region. We, the Gu Clan, have treasured it for many years and are somewhat reluctant to part with it,” said Gu Leng, while someone beside him brought up a peachwood box.

After opening the box, an herb with an irregular pattern of intertwined blue and red colors lay quietly inside.

The Qian Yuan Life-giving Herb!

The moment everyone saw this herb, all members of the Medicine King Sect became excited. Wenwen even nearly jumped up. This was the medicinal herb their elder needed!

This was a matter of life and death!

This was one of the primary objectives why the Medicine King Sect came here. They had to obtain it.

However, just thinking about it, Wenwen involuntarily turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai. The moment he turned his head, his face turned green.

“Young Master Gu, I suggest we save everyone’s valuable time. How about this – whatever the starting price, I’ll simply double it,” Jiang Xiaobai impatiently shouted. “Hurry up, we’re all waiting for the main items.”

Everyone laughed.

“Void Prince is really a big spender!”

“Such abundant wealth is truly something we can’t compare to. Void Prince is indeed amazing!”

“Since Void Prince has spoken, I’ll give Void Prince face and give up on the Qian Yuan Life-giving Herb.”

Hearing people around him praising him, Jiang Xiaobai chose not to burst their bubble, but simply nodded at them.

Gu Leng on the auction platform was grinning from ear to ear. A situation like this was a joke! He could just increase the price?

Whatever price he said, Jiang Xiaobai would simply double it!

“Alright, since Void Prince is so straightforward, I shall not beat around the bush. This item has a starting price of thirty million top-quality spirit stones.”

“The current price is sixty million top-quality spirit stones!”

“Any other bids?”

At these words, Wenwen’s face turned green.

The highest price the Qian Yuan Life-giving Herb had ever fetched at a Northern State auction was ninety million top-quality spirit stones. For this, the Medicine King Sect had specially prepared almost a hundred million to purchase it.

But now, right at the start, the price had already reached half their budget?

How on earth were they supposed to deal with this?

Many disciples from the Medicine King Sect looked at Jiang Xiaobai with ill will.

He had already snatched a few medicinal herbs, was he planning to compete with them now?

This Qian Yuan Life-giving herb was a matter of life and death for their elder!

Jiang Xiaobai noticed their gaze. He couldn’t help but wonder if he had gone too far.

“Seems that way. The Medicine King Sect also needs medicinal herbs,” Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Wenwen watched him with a complex look.

“Void Prince, I must admit that our Medicine King Sect is in dire need of this Qian Yuan Life-giving Herb. We would be most grateful if you could show us some courtesy regarding this matter,” she said.
