Chapter 045: Hope for Humanity to Defeat the Disease
Lin Hao walked into the Jiade Auction House's office in the provincial capital with the pills.
A female staff member came up to welcome them warmly.
"Sir, how can I help you?”
Lin Hao turned on his phone and showed him the receipt that he had filled out in advance according to the instructions he had given to the customer service.
"I'm here to deliver the auction item. This is the auction item information.”
The staff member took the phone and checked it carefully.
Looking at the information of the auction item on the phone, the staff could not help but feel a wave of shock in their hearts.
The auction item was five medicinal pills called Essence Cultivating Pills.
They had also received many similar items, such as the Angong Bezoar Pill, a life-saving divine medicine made by a medical master decades ago.
But was this price serious?
Although it was rare for items to be auctioned with a starting price of tens of millions, their auction house had received many of them.
All kinds of precious antique paintings and calligraphy could reach this price.
However, this was the first time he had encountered a pill that was worth tens of millions.
Even a life-saving divine medicine made by a master could only be sold for a few hundred thousand yuan per pill. A pill worth tens of millions was probably not an immortal pill, right?
Then, the staff member looked at the effects of the pill below the auction item.
Cultivate the body, cure 99% of diseases, and strengthen the body after taking it?
This medicinal effect was really an immortal pill!
The staff member subconsciously thought that the handsome man in front of her was here to have fun, but her good professionalism made her maintain her superficial respect.
"Sir, our auction house has a rule that if the price of an item exceeds 50 million, we have to pay a 500 thousand deposit.”
"This deposit is to prevent the auction from being unsold, and to pay for the transportation insurance of the auction.”
"After the auction is successful, the money can be returned. If the auction is unsuccessful, the money cannot be returned.”
After saying that, the staff member observed Lin Hao's reaction.
"Okay, send me your card number. I'll transfer it to you now.”
Lin Hao's words stunned the staff.
He really had to pay, not for fun!
Could it be that the pill was real?
Using 500,000 to joke around? That shouldn't be possible!
Then, the staff member thought of a few other possibilities.
Money-laundering! Gifts!
Sending the worthless items to the auction house and arranging for people to bid for them at a high price. After such a round, the original black money would become clean.
However, the handsome man in front of her was too crude in his money-laundering and bribery methods.
At the very least, he could make a fake antique or something. He could casually make a few pills and the starting price was 20 million. Did he think he was a fool?
Lin Hao didn't know what the staff member was thinking, so he reminded him.
"Where's your bank account number? Why are you standing there?"
The staff member reacted and quickly brought over the vending machine.
Whether it was money laundering or gifting, it was not something a small receptionist like her could worry about.
Lin Hao took out his bank card and paid with it. Finally, he signed a few contracts.
There were two copies of the contract, one for Lin Hao and one for the auction house.
Lin Hao placed the box containing the five pills on the table.
"This is something, I'll leave it with you.”
The staff member took out a high-definition camera and asked as he took a photo for identification.
"Sir, may I ask if you allow our auction house's professionals to appraise your item for free? This is a voluntary choice."
Lin Hao asked in confusion.
"What's the difference between appraisal and non-appraisal?”
The staff member explained respectfully.
"Sir, the items that have been appraised by us can be auctioned with more confidence.”
"Those that haven't been appraised can only be distinguished by the customer's eyesight.”
Lin Hao pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Appraisal it, but the prerequisite is that you don't destroy my medicinal pill.”
The staff member was even more puzzled.
Items that were normally used for money laundering or bribery were rejected for appraisal.
After all, even a fool would be able to tell that something was wrong if they found out that the item was fake and that someone was bidding for it at a high price.
Was it real?
If the medicinal effect written on the pill was true, the price of tens of millions was not only not expensive, but also very cheap.
The staff sent Lin Hao out of the office and then went to the person-in-charge of the office to tell him what had happened.
The person-in-charge immediately arranged for people to fly the pills with a starting price of hundreds of millions to the headquarters. At the same time, he reported to the head of the headquarters.
...
After leaving the auction house, Lin Hao didn't return to the poverty relief center. Instead, he strolled around the provincial capital.
First, he went to the hardware store to order beds, bedding, tables, and chairs for the school that was about to be built.
Then, he ordered a large number of books and learning tools.
After running a lap, he didn't spend much money, but he was exhausted.
The shop owners who had been patronized once thought that Lin Hao was a buyer from a certain school and even wanted to give him a commission.
......
At night, Lin Hao rode his motorcycle back to the poverty relief center.
Knight Fifteen was parked at the entrance, and Bai Mengyao had already returned.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, Bai Mengyao started complaining to Lin Hao about what she had seen and heard in the three countries.
Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that the villagers of A'san had been beaten up twice in a few hours in the county town.
The cow urine drink and the Ganges River water almost made Lin Hao vomit. He hurriedly told her not to say anything.
......
Just as Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao were chatting happily, the Essence Cultivating Pill had already taken a plane and arrived at the Jiade Auction House in Shanghai.
He received the news that the CEO of the Jiade Auction House was bringing a few professional appraisers to study the auction item that had just been sent over.
On an expensive office table, there were five Essence Cultivating Pills that emitted an alluring fragrance.
The boss of Jiade asked an old man beside him.
"Elder Wang, you're a Chinese doctor. Can you see that these pills really have such a magical effect?”
Elder Wang raised his magnifying glass and observed the pills on the table. From time to time, he would move his nose over to take a whiff, and his eyes would flash with intoxication.
"I'm not sure about the true efficacy of the pill. I still need to try it before I know.”
"However, the refining method of these pills is simply beyond my imagination. The fusion of the essence of the medicinal herbs is so exquisite that it can only be described as ingenious.”
" There are many theories that I'm still researching that haven't been realized. I've applied them all. There are even many things that I don't understand.”
"My preliminary deduction is that each pill was refined from the most essential part of the priceless King Pharmacist. It contains cormgrass, crocus, and ginseng. I can't see anything else.”
"Even without the miraculous effects mentioned, just these few techniques to refine pills are worth ten thousand gold.”
"I'll definitely bid for one later and take it back to study it.”
......
After hearing Elder Wang's description, Garde was shocked.
This old man didn't look very impressive, but he was actually the most famous Chinese medicine expert in Shanghai. At the same time, he was also very knowledgeable in Western medicine and had treated countless important people.
If he said that the pill was worth 20 million, there would definitely be many people who would buy it.
He had invited Elder Wang today not only because of his face, but more importantly, because of something that could pique the old man's interest.
When he first received the pills, Garde's thoughts were similar to the staff. He thought that someone was money-laundering.
Later on, the professional staff of the auction house could not identify the effect and claimed that this pill was very precious. Only then did he invite Elder Wang.
He did not expect that even Elder Wang could not identify the specific effects of this thing.
A bold idea appeared in Garde's mind.
Could this pill really be as magical as it was introduced?
With that in mind, Garde couldn't help but pick up a pill and try it.
"Elder Wang, there are five pills. Let's each try one first. How about it?”
Elder Wang had long been tempted to try this elixir that was as exquisite as an immortal pill. However, due to the rules of the auction, it was not appropriate to ask. He could only wait for the auction to begin and spend money to buy it.
"The auction item hasn't been auctioned yet. Can we eat it first?”
Garde explained with a smile.
"There are five items up for auction. Let's eat two first and keep the remaining three for the auction.”
"As long as we pay according to the highest price of the auction, it will not be considered a breach of contract. It is within the scope of the contract.”
Hearing this, Elder Wang no longer hesitated. He picked up a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
With a gulp, the pill was swallowed into his stomach.
An indescribable feeling of comfort slowly spread from his stomach to his entire body.
Elder Wang's mouth could not help but widen. His eyes revealed disbelief as he let out a moan that did not belong to someone his age.
The surrounding people were shocked by Elder Wang's shocking reaction and hurriedly asked.
"Elder Wang, are you alright?"
"Elder Wang, do you need us to call an ambulance for you?”
"Elder Wang, how is this pill? Is there a problem?"
Elder Wang heard their voices and came back to his senses.
"I'm fine. This medicine is too magical.”
After saying that, Elder Wang narrowed his eyes and savored it carefully.
He felt that his old body seemed to have been injected with new vitality, and he could live for at least another eight to ten years.
"I've lived in vain. I've lived in vain for more than ninety years.”
"Consolidating one's foundation and nurturing one's vitality. This is the true capital stock nurturing one's vitality.”
"I've studied medicine for more than 80 years, and only now do I truly understand what medicine is.”
Hearing Elder Wang's lament, Garde's boss and the appraisers were filled with curiosity.
What kind of pill was it? To think that a Chinese medical expert would say such a thing!
Garde couldn't help but ask again.
"Elder Wang, is the effect of this medicine really as described?”
Elder Wang nodded slightly and then shook his head.
"That's right. No, it means that the efficacy is still a little conservative.”
"In layman's terms, this medicine can strengthen the body and increase immunity. This is what traditional Chinese medicine calls consolidating the foundation and cultivating the vitality.”
"In Western medicine, it's to promote cell evolution, to have stronger vitality, and to be immune to most diseases.”
"According to my estimation, a normal person will not get sick after taking this medicine. Even a patient with late-stage cancer who has spread throughout his body can live for a year and a half after taking one pill.”
"This medicine is all-round for cell evolution, including the fragile and mysterious brain cells.”
"Patients with mental problems will probably recover very quickly after taking it.”
Garde's boss and the auction house staff were all dumbfounded.
It was well known that cancer was currently the most difficult disease to treat in the world.
In the face of the spread of cancer cells, they could only use chemotherapy to kill them.
This pill could actually promote the evolution of normal cells and resist the spread of cancer cells. It was simply beyond their imagination.
Mental illnesses were even more terrifying. There was currently no effective treatment for the mysterious brain. The only way was to rely on the patient's self-healing.
Garde's boss and a few staff members looked at the remaining four pills on the table with red eyes.
A life-saving immortal pill was comparable to four lives.
Garde grabbed a pill and placed it in his safe.
No matter what, he had to buy one.
Although the other staff members also wanted it very much, with their income, the starting price of the Essence Cultivating Pill was 20 million. It was not something they could afford.
Elder Wang's face was filled with excitement as he continued to preach.
"If this kind of pill can be mass-produced, the era of humans completely defeating diseases will arrive.”
"All these years, I've never agreed with Western medicine's targeted treatment that uses external forces to kill the virus.”
"The correct direction is to improve the immune system of the body and use the body to have the ability to overcome diseases.”
"The theory behind this pill proves that my research direction is correct.”
As he spoke, Elder Wang looked at Garde excitedly.
"Can you help me find the owner of the pill? I have many questions to ask him.”
Boss Garde hesitated for a moment. No auction house would allow anyone to divulge a customer's identity.
However, when he thought of Elder Wang's background, Garde's bottom line was instantly broken.
"Please wait a moment. I'll help you check.”
As he spoke, Garde logged into the company's internal database on his computer and found customer information.
Then, he logged into the dark net and checked the specific identity of the client.
When he found out about Bai Mengyao's information on the dark web, Garde's head almost exploded. He hurriedly turned off his computer and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
It was too scary.
This identity and background probably involved state secrets.
It was even possible that the pills were secretly developed by the country.
"Elder Wang, we have a rule that we can't reveal the identity of our customers.”
Elder Wang was stunned for a moment. Didn't he agree just now? Why are you going back on your word now?
Following that, no matter how Elder Wang asked, Garde kept his mouth shut, not daring to reveal any information about the pill's owner.
If this guy were to tell others, he would probably be charged with treason at the very least!
In the end, he couldn't stand Elder Wang's coaxing and pestering, so he could only agree to relay his request to the pill owner.
Coincidentally, there was an auction tonight. The pill was urgently included in the auction as the finale product.
There were many rich people in Shanghai, and the large auction hall was filled with customers who came to participate in the auction.
As the largest auction house in the Dragon Country, Guardian's members included almost 80% of the country's wealthy people.
Every time an auction was held, many rich people would send people to attend it even if they did not attend it in person to avoid missing out on the good things they liked.
One by one, expensive antique paintings and calligraphy, and even real estate resources were auctioned off one after another. They were sold at high prices one after another. There were very few cases of unsold auctions.
At the last moment, at Elder Wang's request, he took the three pills and walked onto the stage.
