God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

Chapter 144 Ancient Shadow Sword

Just as everyone was immersed in the heated atmosphere of the auction, a woman in gorgeous clothes and with a proud temperament slowly walked into the venue. Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention. This was Miss Liang, the daughter of the prefect, who was famous in the city for her family's power and her own beauty. Miss Liang was determined to get several treasures at the auction today, and her arrogant attitude attracted many people's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction is the ancient sword 'Guying' left behind by a hermit master. The sword shines with a cold light and can cut through iron like mud. It also contains extraordinary spiritual power. For those who practice martial arts, it is undoubtedly a treasure they dream of. The starting price is two thousand taels, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred taels." As soon as the host finished speaking, a whisper was heard in the private room. Obviously, this ancient sword has attracted the attention of many people.

Lu Tingyan's eyes lit up, thinking that this was the perfect gift for her second brother Lu Tianhao. She turned to look at Jun Moyuan, and he nodded slightly, motioning her to continue. So, Lu Tingyan raised her number plate without hesitation and joined the bidding.

"Three thousand taels!" Miss Liang spoke first, her voice clear but with unquestionable majesty. She seemed determined to win, and her eyes revealed a kind of confidence and pride.

"Four thousand taels!" Lu Tingyan looked at Zhang Liang in the private room and asked him to name the price. She clenched her fists tightly, secretly cheering herself up, determined to compete with Miss Liang.

When Miss Liang heard this, she sneered, as if she had already regarded the ancient sword as hers. "Five thousand taels!" Her voice was raised a few notches, with a hint of provocation. Her eyes flashed with contempt, as if she thought Lu Tingyan was just a clown who overestimated her own abilities.

"Six thousand taels!" Lu Tingyan asked him to follow without hesitation. She knew that this contest was not only about money, but also about defending brotherly love. She couldn't let the sword fall into the hands of others, especially someone as arrogant as Miss Liang.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became extremely tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two women. People whispered and speculated on who would win in the end.

Miss Liang obviously didn't expect someone to be so disrespectful to her, and her face gradually darkened. She stared at the direction where Lu Tingyan was, with a flash of anger in her eyes. "Eight thousand taels!" She almost gritted her teeth and said the number, her tone full of anger and unwillingness. She tried to intimidate Lu Tingyan with a high price and make her back off. However, Lu Tingyan was not intimidated. She took a deep breath and calmly asked Zhang Liang to bid again: "Ten thousand taels!"

As Lu Tingyan announced this astonishing price, the entire venue fell into silence. Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes. Ten thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family, but now it became the price of an ancient sword.

However, Lu Tingyan did not back down. She looked at Jun Moyuan, and their eyes met. There was no need for words, as they already had a tacit understanding with each other.

This time, the whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Lu Tingyan in surprise. They couldn't understand why this Tianhao Room was so obsessed with an ancient sword.

Miss Liang's face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. She bit her lip tightly, hesitating in her heart, not knowing whether to continue to raise the price. After all, although she was born in a wealthy family, 10,000 taels of silver was already a considerable sum of money. If she raised the price again, she might need to ask for help from the elders in the family.

Just as she was hesitating whether to continue to raise the price, a familiar voice came from the crowd: "Ms. Liang, why bother to hurt the harmony for a personal property? Why not give it to this girl? It can also be regarded as a good relationship."

The person who spoke was the son of another wealthy businessman in the city, named Li Rui. He had always been secretly in love with Miss Liang, so he stood up to speak for her. But in fact, although his words seemed to be persuasion, they were actually putting pressure on Miss Liang, suggesting that she should stop.

Miss Liang snorted coldly, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and she looked in the direction of Room No. 1.

At this time, the sound of the gong rang out again, and the auctioneer announced loudly: "Ancient Shadow Sword, ten thousand taels per time!"

"One thousand two times!"

"Twelve thousand three times! Congratulations to the VIP from Tianhao Room for successfully bidding on this item!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers. Lu Tingyan finally won the Ancient Shadow Sword as she wished, and a smile of victory spread across her face, with an indescribable joy in her heart.

This was not only because she had obtained a precious treasure, but also because she had shown her persistence and courage in this fierce competition. Facing the provocation and pressure from her opponents, she remained calm and resolute, and won the final victory with her wisdom and strength. This feeling made her feel extremely proud and satisfied.
