The better the quality of the jade stone, the greater the power of the protective amulet.
That’s why Ethan Smith must have this piece of jade.
“Seven million!” Someone quickly raised the price.
Without much thought, Ethan Smith shouted, “Eight million!”
“Nine million!” At that moment, a young man sitting in the front row said coldly.
Ethan Smith looked his way, the young man had a handsome and icy face. Beside him stood an elderly man and a middle-aged man.
Ethan released his qi, attempting to probe the strength of these two.
Just as Ethan’s qi was about to touch the young man, it suddenly got cut off, as if severed by something!
Ethan’s face changed instantly, he quickly looked at the old man, who was also staring at him.
A cold smile appeared on the old man’s lips, his eyes even colder.
“This old man is definitely an expert.” Ethan thought to himself.
His qi being cut off directly, Ethan encountered this for the first time!
The man’s strength was probably beyond Ethan’s expectation!

“What’s the matter?” Emily Taylor, who was beside him, asked softly.
Ethan shook his head, “Nothing.”
Then, Ethan Smith raised his auction sign and shouted, “Ten million!”
The young man in the front row frowned, seemingly displeased with Ethan’s actions.
He thought for a moment, then raised his auction sign again, “Twenty million!” At that moment, the crowd gasped in astonishment!
Although the ice-seed jade was of top quality, it was definitely not worth this price!
Spending twenty million to buy a rock, it’s insanity!
“Thirty million!” As Ethan hesitated, Emily Taylor suddenly raised her sign.
“Miss Taylor, you…” Ethan was about to say something, but Emily Taylor placed a finger to his lips.
“It’s fine, it’s the same for whoever of us spends the money, but you have to repay yours, so you should use it sparingly.” Emily winked at him.
Emily Taylor paused for a moment, and then whispered into Ethan’s ear, “I have secretly saved up a lot of pocket money, around five billion!”
Ethan blankly stared, then couldn’t help but laugh.
If Emily could save up to five billion in pocket money, how wealthy must the Taylor Family be…
Up front.

The young man looked very displeased, obviously, he too was very interested in this piece of jade.
Just as the young man was about to raise his sign, the elderly man next to him shook his head, “Young Master Lane, our target isn’t this jade, we need to preserve our strength now.”
The one referred to as Younger Lord of the Lane Family took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and nodded.
“Congratulations to Mr. Smith for successfully winning the Ice-seed jade pendant with a final price of thirty million!” The auctioneer shouted.
After the auction of the jade stone, Ethan Smith was constantly glancing at Younger Lord Lane who was not far away.
He always found this young man to be unusual, particularly the old man at his side, whom he couldn’t gauge his real strength.
“Miss Taylor, do you know that young man?” Ethan Smith pointed to the Younger Lord Lane and asked.
Emily Taylor glanced forward and shook her head, “I don’t know him, why?”
“I just feel he isn’t ordinary.” Ethan murmured. “Maybe I’m overthinking.” Then Ethan waved it off.
The auction continued.
The following auction items were mostly antiques which Ethan was not interested in.
Eventually, when it came to the sixteenth item, the auctioneer introduced a glass cabinet.
Inside the cabinet was a panax ginseng C.A.Mey. The ginseng looked sleek and lustrous, the quality was very good.
“Our next auction item is an Hundred -Year Ginseng King, the starting bid is thirty million, each increase must not be less than one million!” The auctioneer shouted.

Once the item was unveiled, the atmosphere at the scene was immediately pushed to a climax.
“Thirty-one million!” “Thirty-six million!”
“Forty million! ”
These wealthy people all wanted a piece of panax ginseng C.A.Mey. For them, maintaining physical health was most important, and a hundred-year panax ginseng C.A.Mey might potentially save their life at a critical moment.
“Isn’t this what you’re looking for? Why aren’t you bidding?” Emily Taylor asked somewhat puzzled.
Ethan Smith shook his head, saying solemnly, “This panax ginseng C.A.Mey, though referred to as the Hundred-year Medicine King, its medicinal effects have long since dried up. As for its qi… It’s scarce to the point of pitifulness, hardly even comparable to a piece of ordinary herb.”
While speaking, Ethan Smith kept his eyes on the Young Lord Lane up front.
Apart from bidding on that ice-seed jade, This Young Lord Lane had not said a word. His intention was very strong, and he could very be aiming to win an herb.
What worried Ethan Smith more was that the Lord Lane had also not uttered a word for this hundred-year panax ginseng C.A.Mey.
“Looks like this guy knows the worths as well.” Ethan thought to himself.
This made Ethan feel somewhat troubled. Having a competitor meant having to spend a lot more money.
“Congratulations to Mr. Gordon for winning the Hundred-year Ginseng King for a sum of one hundred and eighty million!” The auctioneer suddenly shouted from the stage.
Ethan Smith slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
A piece of ginseng with its medicinal effect dried up, has now sold for nearly two hundred million. How exaggerated would the real Medicine King’s price

“Cultivation really is an extremely expensive affair,” Ethan sighed to himself.
“Next up, we have our star item.” The auctioneer announced lightly from the stage.
He waved his hand and two people cautiously came up, carrying a camellia box.
Then, the auctioneer smiled and said, “This is a wild knotweed that a guest of ours accidentally picked up from a mountain. The starting bid is one billion, and each increase cannot be less than ten million!” Afterwards, he slowly opened the box.
Inside the box lay a knotweed that was almost withered.
This knotweed looked of extremely poor quality, virtually indistinguishable from the weeds by the road.
“Damn, are they broke or what, selling a piece of trash grass for two billion?”
“Only a fool would buy it, right? The radishes pulled up from my backyard are stronger than this piece of grass!”
“Hehe, forget about twenty million, I wouldn’t even want it for two thousand!” The people in the crowd mocked, expressing some dissatisfaction.
Ethan, however, was fixated on this knotweed! His eyes nearly popping out!
Aside from Ethan, the Younger Lord of the Lane Family sitting in the front row was also eyeing it eagerly, extremely excited!
“Younger Lord Lane, this knotweed is at least two hundred years old,” the elderly man at his side reminded.
Younger Lord Lane squinted his eyes and said, “This knotweed…. I must have
