Chapter 541: 486 The wealthy lady Ying Zijin: You can try it [1 more update]_2 Chapter 541: 486 The wealthy lady Ying Zijin: You can try it [1 more update]_2 Yun Shan: “…”

What could he say?

An incompetent ruler indeed.

Even with money, this isn’t how to squander it.

Ying Zijin had the same thought.

She had lost count of how many times she felt that her earnings couldn’t keep up with the rate at which Fu Yunshen spent money.

Ying Zijin picked up her phone and called Fu Yunshen, “It’s too expensive, stop bidding.”

Just now, when she had gone to find him, he gave her several tiny signal transmitters to attach to her phone.

So, she had also shared them with Ji Li and the others.

From the receiver came Fu Yunshen’s voice, slightly lower than usual, as nonchalant as ever, “The things you want, of course, have to be secured.”

After a pause, he added, “Don’t worry about the final auction fee. The Judicial Hall will take a 30% commission, I have the money.”

The Judicial Hall provided the platform and would charge a fee for it.

And that 30% fee would eventually flow back to him.

With such a hefty five hundred million bid, the Lin Family also shut their mouths.

From the start, the Third Elder was furious, but now had calmed down, “Is it a high-ranking official from the Judicial Hall?”

“Third Elder, it shouldn’t be,” Lin Qingjia shook her head slightly and smiled, “If the high-ranking officials of the Judicial Hall urgently needed these herbs, they would have taken them before the auction, not put them up for bidding.”

The Third Elder became angry again, “Who is this ignorant fool insisting on competing with us?”

How could the Judicial Hall not be aware of Lin Qingjia’s importance?

The Third Elder’s face darkened, “There’s one last item. No matter what, we cannot let the Judicial Hall snatch this one.”

Lin Qingjia still needed one medicine, the Life Bone Pill.

The Life Bone Pill was provided by the Judicial Hall, and it was the only one available.

It was said to have been found in a tomb, and after a hundred years, it was no longer fit for consumption.

The Life Bone Pill could greatly stimulate a person’s healing ability, even enabling someone who had lost a leg to regrow it within a certain period.

Many Ancient Medicine Families were prepared to bid for it, in order to research the formula for this pill.

On the stage, the auctioneer spoke again, “The Life Bone Pill, starting bid, ten million.”

Hearing a familiar name, Ying Zijin slowly lifted her head, her expression pausing briefly.

Just this, and the starting bid is worth ten million?

Sold outside for a hundred million?

So, in reality, she was indeed a wealthy woman?

“According to the records, this Life Bone Pill is quite miraculous.” Over the phone, Fu Yunshen’s voice was lazy, “Yaoyao, do you want it? Don’t worry about saving me money.”

“No need,” Ying Zijin propped her head, “It’s of no use to me.”

Why spend money on something she could effortlessly concoct a batch of herself?

Fu Yunshen smiled, “Mm, alright.”

Ying Zijin thought for a moment, “The provider is the Judicial Hall, you found it?”

“From a tomb,” Fu Yunshen responded indifferently. “Aside from this pill, there are quite a few other things.”

Ying Zijin pondered.

She understood now.

When the Ancient Medical Field was first established, the Life Bone Pill wasn’t anything special.

She had concocted plenty herself and casually gave some to Foo Xi, who then distributed them to some ancient martial artists under her directive.

However, she indeed hadn’t passed down the prescriptions for the Life Bone Pill, not even to Foo Xi.

“The Ling Family has invited you,” Fu Yunshen spoke again. “Shall we visit the Ling Family later?”

Ying Zijin nodded, “Let’s go.”

Listening to the bidding, Fu Yunshen suddenly laughed, “Yaoyao, if you don’t want it, I plan to raise the bid.”

Ying Zijin’s eyes flickered lightly, “Hmm?”

Fu Yunshen glanced at the Lin Family’s private box, “Yun Shan, bid fifty million.”

Yun Shan’s mouth twitched, unclear as to why their Young Master still wanted to bid, but he called out the price regardless.

The auctioneer wiped his sweat, “Shadow of Candle Shakes Red private box bids fifty million, any higher offers?”

The Third Elder was practically seething with rage as he blurted out, “The Lin Family bids one hundred million!”

“…”

Suddenly, there was silence.

The Third Elder’s face was stern as he raised his voice, mocking, “Your Excellency from the Judicial Hall, will you bid higher?”

A languid voice arose, chuckling, “Ah, sorry, I misspoke the number. I meant to bid fifty million, please forgive my error.”

The Third Elder almost fainted from anger.

But the price had already been announced, and with so many people watching, it was impossible for him to back out.

The Life Bone Pill, naturally, ended up in the hands of the Lin Family, but the Third Elder couldn’t feel any joy.

However, thinking that Lin Qingjia could study and work out the prescriptions made the Third Elder’s mood slightly better.

His face stern, he said, “It must have been intentional. Once the auction is over, I will definitely make a trip to the Judicial Hall.”

The Third Elder didn’t wait for a response, when he turned his head, he saw Lin Qingjia daydreaming: “Qingjia?”

Lin Qingjia came back to her senses and shook her head: “It’s nothing.”

Inside the Shadow of Candle Shakes Red private room.

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes flickered, still on the phone, chuckling lowly, “Yaoyao, you see, we’ve earned it back just like that.”

Yun Shan sighed by his side.

Their young master really knew how to make money.

Otherwise, how could Venus Group have become the world’s number one group?

Yun Shan felt that if their young master could meet with the ruler of the Lorentz family, they might share a lot of common ground in making money.

On the other end of the phone, Ying Zijin paused slightly, “One month.”

“One month for what?”

“You can’t kiss me.”

Fu Yunshen’s expression paused slightly, his voice rising at the end, “Hmm? What’s the reasoning for this?”

“No reasoning, if you sneak a kiss, you can try.”

“…”

Amidst the intense auction, Patriarch Ji also finally calmed down.

By his side was Yan Ruoxue.

Yan Ruoxue, who had come with her assistant, had no real interest in the auction; she was just watching.

Ji Yiyuan lowered his voice, “Miss Yan, I just saw Ji Yihang with his family in a private room on the second floor. Who gave him the invitation?”

“Private room?” Yan Ruoxue frowned, “That’s impossible.”

Ji Yihang is worthy?

“But I definitely saw it.” Ji Yiyuan said with a troubled face, “He–”
Before he could finish, one of the Ji Family’s guards hurried down from upstairs to Ji Yiyuan’s side: “Ji Yiyuan, the Patriarch is calling for you upstairs.”

Ji Yiyuan shivered and immediately stood up.

Yan Ruoxue continued watching the auction.

Suddenly, her assistant spoke up, “Ah, Professor, I remember now, the person who looks like Wen Fengmian, that’s Miss Qingjia, their facial features are very similar.”

“Professor, don’t you think Miss Qingjia could be related to Wen Fengmian…”

Everyone knew that Lin Qingjia was not Lin Jinyun’s biological daughter.

But she was so outstanding that no one would harp on about that fact.

“What are you thinking?” Yan Ruoxue scoffed coldly, “Wen Fengmian is just an ordinary person, could he have a daughter with talents like Miss Qingjia? If you dare say this at the Lin Family, see if you still have a life left.”

“Wen Fengmian’s daughter would at best be around Ying Zijin’s level. Enough, shut up.”

The Ji Family focused on biochemistry experiments in order to develop technology that could rival Ancient Medicine.

However, despite years passing, they had not been successful.

Lin Qingjia was recognized by both the Ancient Medical World and the Ancient Martial World as a genius; she had developed several new medicines in Ancient Medicine.

Ying Zijin was definitely a genius, but that was just in the outside world – could she compare with Lin Qingjia?

Thinking this, the assistant felt embarrassed and conceded, “It’s true that there are many people who look alike; I was indeed overthinking.”

Upstairs.

In the private room.

Ji Yiyuan was trembling with fear, “May I ask, Patriarch, do you have any instructions?”

“I heard this is someone called from the entertainment industry.” Patriarch Ji handed over a photo, “Tian Hao likes her quite a bit. Take a look and see how you can bring her here.”

Ji Yiyuan took the photo, looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed.

“Tian Hao Young Master is interested?” He could hardly contain his excitement, “Her name is Ying Zijin, the daughter of Wen Fengmian, and she’s also part of our Ji Family, so it doesn’t matter how we handle it.”

He couldn’t deal with the Wen Fengmian family himself, but could the Ji Family’s Main House not handle it?
