Chapter 91: Big Trouble

In the next room, Meng Hai Zhou and Li Zhen's face instantly grew unsightly as they heard this. Say hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, although not a small number, for them it wasn't too much either! It was a number that they could afford without much difficulty!

And after the loss that they took in the Thousand Gold Hall, these kids' pants were taken down and were beaten till their asses turned black and blue. And this trip that they made here was under specific directions. Their aim was to acquire this Jade Sea Coral at any cost!

Magnificent Jewel Hall, three days before each auction, it would routinely send to every major family in the Tian Xiang Kingdom, a list of all the items which were to be auctioned on that particular day. And, when Li Youran reviewed this list and saw this Jade Sea Coral up on the list of items, he immediately sent out an order, "The Li Family must get hold of this Jade Sea Coral at any cost!"

In fact, this auction listings, was regularly sent to the Jun Family too. But, the Jun Family never seemed to participate in any of such occasions and over time, they stopped sending the list to the Jun Family's residence. Besides, Jun Mo Yi's intention to collect herbs for his treatments were extremely secretive. In fact only three people in the Jun residence knew about the whole situation. If it wasn't for the coincidence of me running into Tang Yuan today, I'm afraid that we surely would have missed the chance to obtain this Burning Heart Meridian...thought Jun Mo Xie.

This particular Jade Sea Coral, although valuable and has excellent properties, it is but secondary and only serves as an auxiliary item for cultivation! However, to Grand Preceptor Li Shang, who had a broken dantain, this was a magic treasure which could ensure longevity! There was hope for re-cultivation! Because, Li Youran had found out from a reliable source that, using this special type of Jade Sea Coral along with some special methods, it was even possible for one with a broken dantain to cultivate again! How fortunate would the Li family be if Li Shang could cultivate again?!

And this effect, only a select few in the entire Tian Xiang Kingdom knew about it. Li Youran had been long looking for this secret, but, it had always eluded him!

If Li Shang could prolong his life by a few more years or decades, to the Li Family, how much of a benefit would it be? So, this piece of Jade Sea Coral might just be an expensive piece of decoration but to the Li Family, it directly affected their future!

Now that this has appeared in the auction, it was a great opportunity! So, the Li Family was determined to obtain this Jade Sea Coral and Li Youran had ordered Li Zheng and Meng Hai Zhou to obtain this item at all costs. If Li Youran knew that his meticulously thought out plan would be broken down today, he would surely have taken this issue up personally and would not have left it for his lackeys!

The Meng and Li family teaming up with these two family's extreme prestige if they bid early on, with a huge amount they would be able to intimidate all the other interested parties.This was the 'big' plan that they had come up with in order to acquire this item without much difficulty. How would they have expected that they would encounter this fatty today? Their old enemy!

Not only that, Jun Mo Xie with this spiritual power spread out, had already realized their intentions completely. But, this was something which no one knew!

Though the old man on the stage was a well experienced auctioneer, the loud shout by Tang Yuan still managed to startle him completely.

For a long time, there was complete silence in the hall when suddenly one could hear the gnashing of teeth and a shout, "I bid 1.2 million."

Li Zhen really braced himself to let out this bid. In reality though, this was not the maximum of their budget, and they could go more as much as 2 million, but it was just in a hope that it might scare Fatty Tang away!
