The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Seeing this, the host smiled, activated his mental power, and suddenly lifted the red cloth.

What came into view was a cold light that had been condensed over several years. Although it only flashed across the sword, Bai Jinxuan immediately caught its brilliance.

This is a fine sword. Without a doubt, it is an excellent sword.

The blade is decorated with neatly arranged dark patterns, and the spine is adorned with winding golden threads. In addition to the blade, the hilt is made of pure dragon scales, with each scale reflecting a dazzling light.

Besides that, what shocked Bai Jinxuan the most was the dragon sword guard.

Its tail was wrapped around the end of the sword hilt, its golden body looked sacred and noble, its dragon head close to the end of the sword, its head held high, its mouth wide open, as if you could hear its roar.

"Dragon Abyss, even an 8th-tier demon wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from it. Whether for exploration or self-defense, it's an unparalleled weapon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the hostess made a gesture.

Suddenly, a dazzling red light shone from the dragon's eye on the sword guard, as if it had come to life, displaying its kingly status to everyone.

"After being infused with magic or energy, Longyuan will enter its second form, with more powerful and faster sword strikes, and will also be able to imbue its sword with special dragon energy. Starting bid: 1 million!"

Upon hearing the hostess's words, Long Lan, the head of the Long family, immediately stood up and clapped his hands. The lights automatically shone on him, perfectly showcasing his bold and forthright demeanor.

"Great! What a wonderful Longyuan! I love it! 4 million!"

On the ceiling of his small area, the number '4 million' quietly appeared.

Wow, double the amount!

Bai Jinxuan twitched her lips. Who would dare to compete with Long Lan? Whether they had money or not was another matter; just provoking the Long family would be enough to cause them trouble.

As expected, the scene fell silent, with Long Lan stealing the spotlight.

However, just when she thought Long Lan was about to win the bid, a deep voice rang out.

"5."

Unlike the branch venues outside, the atmosphere in the main venue was very heavy. These big names didn't like the host to talk nonsense or try to create a lively atmosphere, because their presence itself had a strong sense of oppression.

"The Qian Group has offered 5 million. Does anyone else want to make a bid?"

"The Qian family wants to join in the fun too? Sorry, I just happen to need a sword, 7 million!"

Long Lan smiled and looked at the Qian family head to the side, appearing completely at ease.

Upon hearing this, the Qian family patriarch, a handsome blond man, shrugged and said, "Since you want it so badly, then I will not compete with you for it."

After asking around for a while and confirming that no one was bidding against her, the host announced that Longyuan had been won by the Long Group.

"He's still so concerned about saving face."

Seeing Long Lan's beaming smile, Long Jinming behind him sighed in admiration.

This piqued Bai Jinxuan's curiosity: "Oh? Has he always been like this?"

"That's right, Miss Bai Qianye, don't you know? Ever since Long Lan took over the Long Group from his father, he has started to drastically lay off employees, change the company's operating policies, snatch food from other companies, and kick out those who oppose him."

"You're one of them? Heh...that's quite interesting." Bai Jinxuan sensed the resentment in Long Jinming's words and smiled slightly, making him a little embarrassed.

Soon, the second item was brought out for auction.

Unlike the sword from before, this time it was a medicinal herb of some unknown significance.

"This treasure is a rare plant produced by Qiangjian Technology. According to tests, drinking water infused with this herb has a significant effect on improving the physical fitness of martial artists below level 5. Starting bid: 8 million!"

"Tier 5, not too bad, not too good either..."

After muttering something, Long Jinming began to ponder, clearly having some ideas about this herb.

In fact, Bai Jinxuan also had her own ideas. After all, this was a potion that could improve a martial artist's physical fitness. Whether she used it to make medicine or for herself, it was a good idea.

Especially for students at No. 1 High School, this thing is extremely valuable. If they can get to Level 5 ahead of others, then weekly tests and credits will be a piece of cake.

Immediately, people started making bids.

"1 million!"

"1 million!"

"1 million!"

For a time, the entire venue was abuzz with activity, and various large enterprises were all subtly hinting at their desire to acquire this herb.

Even the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce wanted to get involved.

Long Jinming craned his neck and whispered, "Miss Bai Qianye, we'll offer 250 million."

Okay, here's a job.

Bai Jinxuan immediately lowered her leg, slamming her foot heavily on the ground, making a "

A muffled thud was heard.

In an instant, everyone turned their gaze toward the hooded woman whose face was obscured.

"9.15 billion."

A cold voice rang out; it wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone else in the room to hear.

Long Lan's face darkened instantly. He glanced at Bai Jinxuan a few times and was about to raise the price when his cousin stopped him.

"No, that woman is not to be underestimated. Don't make enemies."

"What do you mean? You think I'm afraid of making enemies? Cousin, when did you become so cowardly? In Star City, who dares to challenge our Long Group?"

“In the past, we might not have bothered with small-scale incidents, but things are different now. We can’t find any information about that woman. What if she’s a member of the guild? Do you want the Dragon Group to die? This world isn’t just Star City.”

"..."

Seeing Long Lan remain silent, his cousin added, "Provoking the guild is a recipe for disaster; you won't even know how you died. I don't need to mention the history of the guild, do I?"

"I know."

Long Lan took a deep breath and stared intently at Bai Jinxuan.

"The Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce has offered 250 million. Does anyone else want to bid?"

The host's voice echoed throughout the main venue, but no one responded.

Not wanting, but not dare.

When those large enterprises and business associations saw the mysterious figure from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce acting so arrogantly, and the usually straightforward Long Group becoming like a tortoise, and the Qian family remaining silent in the previous round, they knew that this price was absolutely not to be matched.

Whoever suffers the most.

And so, the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce finally acquired the herb for 250 million. Long Jinming couldn't suppress the urge to laugh, his mouth twisted in a distorted state of wanting to laugh but having to hold it back.

Tier 5 potion materials! With this treasure, I wonder how many low-level martial artists could be trained!

Just selling medicine, you don't know how much money you could make!

Shirachiba is practically a money tree!

Just as he was getting excited, the host on the stage gently waved his hand, introducing the next item for auction.

"The next item up for auction comes from the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce."

It's my turn!

Bai Jinxuan immediately perked up, as the next bid would directly affect her profits!

Volume 1: Chapter 122: The Girl Gradually Becoming Dihua

"Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce - Diamond!"

The hostess shouted excitedly while using her telekinesis to pull back the red cloth covering the auction items.

Five minerals, as dazzling as the starry sky, lay quietly on the display stand.

"The diamonds come from the extremely rare rock dragons in the dungeon. Not only are they difficult to obtain, but their quality also varies greatly. However, each of these five diamonds is of superior quality, and the largest one, after testing, is an unprecedented masterpiece!"

"Whether used to make jewelry or as a keepsake, it is the perfect choice to match your distinguished status. Starting bid: 1 million!"

At that moment, Tong Yishan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Dad, it's a diamond, a top-quality diamond."

Behind him, the burly, greyish-white man gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I know... but..."

"If we miss this opportunity, we may never see diamonds of this quality again, Dad. You should understand that for weapon craftsmen, the most valuable thing is not their craftsmanship, but the materials."

Tong Yishan's insistence made Tong Gongzhuo relent. He sighed and said helplessly, "Then go ahead. You'll become the head of the family sooner or later. You know the pros and cons better than I do."

"Yes, Dad, with these five diamonds, we can make a weapon even stronger than Longyuan's. We'll definitely teach the Qian family a lesson then!"

As she spoke, she stood up, her clear, childlike voice standing out amidst the gruff voices of those offering prices.

"1 million!"

Huh? Where did this kid come from?

Bai Jinxuan was taken aback, looked in the direction of the sound, and suddenly revealed a relieved smile.

It turns out it's Tong Yishan... Wait, isn't her family in the arms business? Why is she scrambling for luxury goods?

Before she could figure it out, a large company joined in with a bid.

"2 million!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out they were in weapons maintenance.

Something's not right. Why would we need diamonds for weapon maintenance?

She sensed something was off. Few of these people bidding for diamonds were in the jewelry or luxury goods industry. On the contrary, most of them were hardcore, either making weapons or props.

Could it be that diamonds have some special properties?

While Bai Jinxuan was pondering, the auction price had already reached 270 million.

To be honest, Bai Jinxuan herself didn't know that diamonds could sell for so much money. She thought 2 million was the highest price, but who knew that these people would raise the price even higher.

90%! That's a huge profit!

Because the cost of going on stage was borne by the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, according to the overbearing contract between Bai Jinxuan and the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, she could actually get 90% of the auction price, which is about 250 million!

Adding in the work he did for the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce, that brings the total to 300 million!

With this much money, you could start your own small business association.

The only disappointment was that compared to powerful families like the Long Group and the Qian Group, he felt completely outmatched.

Buying a sword costs 7 million; if there really is such a divine weapon, she has no chance of competing with it.

Bai Jinxuan gritted her teeth. She still had no idea about the top families in the upper district. She thought that with 2 million, she could try her luck. But Long Jinming was right.

Without that largest diamond, the other four would be kneeling under the table, not even worthy of being used as embellishments.

A sum of 2 million yuan is probably only enough for small businesses at the bottom of the chamber of commerce. This industry is much more complex than she imagined.

It should have been expected long ago that the amount of money the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce controlled represented its status; the fact that they could afford to buy diamonds proved that they could afford them.

The Jinlong Chamber of Commerce can afford this amount of money, let alone the industry leaders...

"4 million!"

The child's innocent voice rang out again, but this time, no one bid.

Bai Jinxuan was taken aback and looked at Tong Yishan.

Wow, I never expected that besides giving away Red Night and the scythe, Xiao Tong could also generate rice for herself here! She's even better at giving away rice than the assassins planted outside the Death Squad! I'm so happy...

"The Tong family has really gone all out."

Behind him, Long Jinming sighed.

This made Bai Jinxuan a little unhappy. How could she talk to her sugar daddy like that? If the Tong family falls, how am I supposed to harvest Xiao Tong's treasures?

So she said calmly, "4 million, is that a lot?"

Long Jinming wiped his sweat and complained inwardly.

Look at what you're saying! When you were selling materials before, you wouldn't lose a single penny on items worth millions. Now, it's 4 million. Is that a lot?

If it's not much, then give it to me!

Do you know where this is? Ordinary treasures are not worthy of being displayed here?

Everything at the fourth sub-venue combined might not even be worth 4 million!
