Chapter 1206: Chapter 754: The Lin Sisters_2

On the stage, an old man dressed in Tang costume instantly closed the wooden box in his hand, and as the second Longevity Pill disappeared from sight, the magical fragrance that once filled the hall gradually dissipated.

Subsequently, the Tang-clad elder spoke in a grave tone:

“The second Longevity Pill is also the latest result of the Longevity Club’s endeavors.

What the Longevity Club is, I believe, needs no further introduction from me. I trust that many people here are members of the Longevity Club and understand it better than I do. Six months ago, the first Longevity Pill was released and sparked a global frenzy over lifespan; many top tycoons joined the club to get their hands on it. As of now, according to reliable information, the Longevity Club has a total of one hundred ninety-eight top tycoons as members.

Among them are the Rothschild Patriarch from the world’s leading family, the luxury goods godfather Edward, the world’s richest man Thomas, and more!”

On the stage, the white-haired elder in Tang costume eloquently continued, and at this moment, all of the thousands of top tycoons in the hall held their breath, silent, as even the two wealthy daughters behind Chu Mo listened attentively, not daring to breathe too loudly.

At this moment, the interested Tang-clad elder went on:

“The miraculous effects of the second Longevity Pill are said to have been verified. According to reliable information, over two years, more than a hundred top scientists in the Longevity Club have been working tirelessly, investing trillions in funds, to finally succeed in developing the second Longevity Pill using a miraculous elixir as the catalyst.

Indeed, some well-informed individuals may already know, the catalyst for the second Longevity Pill is the Great Rejuvenation Pill, but what exactly is the Great Rejuvenation Pill? I believe that needs no introduction.

Legend has it that a single Great Rejuvenation Pill can give birth to a Great Grandmaster-level Martial Artist. In the entirety of Hua Country, it was only a hundred years ago that the Great Grandmaster Li Gangyi produced a furnace of Great Rejuvenation Pills. The ninety-nine pills produced were obtained by various top forces in the martial arts world.

After a hundred years of consumption, according to the records, there are no more than five Great Rejuvenation Pills left in the world today, each one a rare treasure.

According to research results from the Longevity Club, one Great Rejuvenation Pill can produce twenty second Longevity Pills. However, based on internal information we received, out of these twenty Great Rejuvenation Pills, two were used for trials, five were awarded to scientists who have made outstanding contributions, one was taken by Old Situ of the Longevity Club, while the Rothschild Patriarch, the British Jewelry Queen, the luxury goods godfather Edward, and others had also reserved their shares in advance.

Therefore, the number of second Longevity Pills that the Longevity Club can now put into use does not exceed three. This is also why, despite the success of the second Longevity Pill’s development for such a long time, there has been a delay in releasing information.

As for the functions of the second Longevity Pill, I believe you gentlemen should be clearer about it than I am. Without going into other details, just the fact that Old Situ, the tester from the Longevity Club, was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago and has now returned home to enjoy his retirement, this incident alone shows the extraordinariness of the second Longevity Pill.

I will not say much further. Now, let us witness the miracle together as the auction for the ranking of the second Longevity Pill officially begins. There is no reserve price set, each bid increase must not be less than ten million. Now, I declare, the final lot of this auction, the second Longevity Pill, bidding officially begins!”

As the words of the Tang-clad elder fell upon the stage, the hall once again fell into a brief silence.

However, unlike before, this time everyone appeared ready and eager, unwilling to stop at anything.

In the front row of the exhibition hall, several top tycoons with a net worth of trillions did not take immediate action; it seemed they were waiting for something, and clearly, the final ownership of the second Longevity Pill in this auction was likely to be between the few in the front row.

Seeing the few top bosses in the front row remain composed, the top tycoons worth hundreds of billions to trillions in the center of the hall also dared not make a move; after all, unlike before, the second Longevity Pill has no reserve price, and everyone is unaware of how much they should bid. It seems that no matter how much money is offered, it can’t measure the value of the second Longevity Pill.

The entire hall fell into silence once again, but at this moment, a crisp yet exceptionally quiet voice suddenly sounded from behind Chu Mo.

“Five hundred…thousand!”

That was the bid from Lin Linger, the young mistress of the Lin family. Lin Linger didn’t actually believe that the second Longevity Pill was worth merely that amount, but it was all the pocket money she had, adding up to exactly five hundred thousand.

This five hundred thousand had been painfully saved over several years.

Originally, Lin Linger had planned to use this five hundred thousand to buy herself an eighteenth birthday present. However, now, as she placed her first bid, the whole hall immediately fell into a peculiar atmosphere.

Five hundred thousand was obviously not the price of the second Longevity Pill. You see, even the previous first Longevity Pill had fetched a sky-high price of one billion, and the more effective and precious second Longevity Pill naturally couldn’t be priced lower.

The quiet woman behind her saw her sister causing trouble again, and under the barely there gazes of numerous top dogs in the hall, she quickly covered her sister’s mouth, hissing at the same time:

“Linger, if you mess around again, I’ll tear your mouth up.”

Lin Linger, eyes full of helplessness, lightly nodded to ensure she wouldn’t recklessly bid again, and after her sister let go, she then whispered an explanation:

“Sis, what’s there to be afraid of? I just casually threw out a bid. That so-called second Longevity Pill, as everyone says, is so precious; the price will definitely exceed ten billion. I’m just saying it off the top of my head–I’m sure someone will outbid me later anyway, and no one will care about a minor character like me.”

“Knowing it’s impossible, why make a rash bid and invite trouble for our family? What then?”

The quiet girl muttered a rebuke, but Lin Linger didn’t care at all and replied:

“Sis, you’re just too careful. Like you said, those sitting here are all very wealthy, with fortunes in the hundreds and thousands of billions. How could they possibly stoop to the level of a young girl like me? I just wanted to liven up the mood since they’re all so silent. In the end, it’s not going to belong to me anyway. Besides, I only made the bid because it was fun. After the auction, I can boast among the other young ladies that I too participated in a multimillion-dollar project… hehe!”

The carefree eighteen-year-old girl seemed nonchalant, and the quiet girl beside her seemed helpless in the face of her sister’s attitude. She knew that someone would surely bid later, and at most, her sister was just initiating the process. After reminding her sister again not to make trouble, the quiet girl said no more.

Just as the Lin sisters fell into silence, Chu Mo’s phone in the front row suddenly vibrated. He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Jiang Tao, the head of the detective agency.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Chu Mo then pressed the answer button. As soon as he put the phone to his ear, Jiang Tao’s steady voice came through from the other end.

“Mr. Chu, we have thoroughly investigated the matter you entrusted to us. The label on the second Longevity Pill from the Big World auction is 019. This pill was originally owned by one of the three tycoons of the Longevity Club, Zhang Dongdong, who then gifted it to his father, the wealthiest man Zhang Dahua.

This pill indeed originates from Zhang Dahua, and we don’t yet know why Zhang Dahua would let go of this second Longevity Pill. We are looking into the specifics but can confirm that the pill is authentic!”

After acknowledging with a sound, Chu Mo hung up the phone. Then, his gaze slightly narrowed with a hint of indiscernible coldness in his eyes.
