Chapter 656: Chapter 683 Threat? (2)
Shangguan Nishang smiled, exuding a charm that could captivate a crowd. She picked up a glass of water nearby, took a sip, and then explained, "Wearing it over the long term can improve one’s health to a certain extent!"
"For example, its previous owner suffered from severe tuberculosis and chronic pharyngitis. But after receiving this Jade Pendant from his father and wearing it for just two years, both the tuberculosis and pharyngitis were completely cured!"
"And it never relapsed; his body even returned to its youthful condition."
Immediately, everyone below the stage, except for Lin Xi, was stunned.
Chronic pharyngitis aside, the fact that severe tuberculosis could also be cured is truly astonishing!
After all, even mild tuberculosis is almost untreatable with today’s medical standards, let alone severe tuberculosis.
If it indeed had such effects, its value would increase by hundreds or even thousands of times.
Among the three underground forces in Chuzhou City, the expressions of the bosses Su Xiong and the Ice and Fire Lady were not so calm, but compared to Wang Wudao beside them, they were much more composed.
Wang Wudao, being quite old, was already on the decline in both capability and physical condition, and he had moderate tuberculosis.
Therefore, his thought at this moment was that he must have it at any cost!
The junior King of Soldiers who was instructed to kidnap Shangguan Hong had been worried about how to get out of the situation, but suddenly his eyes lit up. He was also determined to obtain this Jade Pendant, as he too suffered from tuberculosis.
In fact, this was also the main reason he wanted to kidnap Shangguan Hong.
Every year, the stone gambling auction would attract Chinese people from all over the world, as many would acquire some very fine treasures each time.
Even some items with special abilities, like this Jade Pendant.
Zhao Ritian and Zhu Qi, although interested, were not as impulsive as they had been for the Imperial Jade just now.
Which made Lin Xi a little surprised; could it be that these two families did not lack such items? Or perhaps they had other ways to maintain their health.
Lin Xi glanced at the two of them and found their physiques were very healthy, with no signs of illness. Of course, Zhao Ritian’s obesity was purely due to overnutrition and lack of exercise.
Of course, aside from these few, the rest of the people were also excited, each harboring thoughts of a gambit, because in this society, especially for these big shots, health was more or less compromised.
Even if they couldn’t use it themselves, it would make a superb gift for family members or elders, potentially serving as a family heirloom.
Shangguan Nishang was very pleased with the audience’s reactions, "Of course, it also has effects on other diseases, you could say it’s effective against any physical ailment."
"However, I can’t provide evidence for all of those claims, but I can show the medical history of its previous owner."
As she said this, some hospital-stamped medical records appeared on the projection screen behind her, along with certificates of recovery.
After seeing these, the audience had no more doubts.
Not to mention that the Shangguan family’s credibility had never been in question, and severe tuberculosis is incurable with current medical standards, so everyone was convinced about the Jade Pendant’s effects as Shangguan Nishang described.
"So, there’s no need for me to speak of the Jade Pendant’s value; everyone should already understand in their hearts!" Shangguan Nishang smiled, "So, we’re starting the bidding at 50 million."
"But the minimum increment is 10 million!"
Seeing that no one objected, she continued, "Then let the auction officially begin!"
As soon as she spoke, the junior King of Soldiers, planning to kidnap Shangguan Hong, eagerly shouted, "I’ll offer 200 million, and no one should compete against me. This Jade Pendant is mine!"
Shangguan Nishang on stage did not stop his threat.
After all, everyone here was a big shot and wouldn’t care about a mere comment from him.
Even though he was a free-spirited mercenary, many major forces would be wary of him because they all knew that if they didn’t deal with him, he would certainly bring huge trouble in the future.
However, can you really leave here tonight?
Shangguan Nishang’s lips curled into a cold smile, silently thinking to herself, "On my family’s turf, you think you can kidnap my brother? Do you really think this is abroad?"
