Chapter 25: The Albino Boy
rked even harder. He went to the frontier and defended the border. He was invincible on the battlefield, all for the sake of changing his father's attitude towards him. 。Such an attitude did indeed b...An hour later, Song Tingfeng brought Qingxuan to Yunjiange, the largest auction house in Chen Kingdom.
Qingxuan, wearing a veil, and Song Tingfeng, wearing a mask, followed the servant to a private room.
Song Tingfeng: "Besides rare treasures, this auction also features slaves with exceptional skills."
She had originally only come to buy a bodyguard, but she unexpectedly fell in love with a century-old blood spirit mushroom.
This blood ganoderma can restore Nan Gong Ye's energy in a short period of time, and it has a great effect on him after surgery!
Song Tingfeng's ability to listen to the wind and observe people's words and expressions was naturally exceptional. He immediately saw that Qingxuan had taken an interest in this Blood Spirit Mushroom.
The bidders downstairs have already started offering prices: "This century-old blood spirit mushroom starts at 500 taels."
Song Tingfeng: "Master Xuan, are you interested in this Blood Spirit Mushroom"
At this moment, Qingxuan deeply regretted only taking one hundred taels when she left home. Now, adding the five thousand taels that Song Tingfeng gave her, Qingxuan wasn't sure if she had enough money to buy both the Xuelingzhi and the bodyguard today.
Qingxuan thought for a moment, and quickly made a choice between the two options.
Now that she's back at the palace, she doesn't really need guards protecting her, only when she goes out.
That is to say, what she needs most right now is the Blood Lingzhi.
"Blood Reishi, one thousand three hundred taels!"
Qingxuan suddenly spoke: "2,000 taels!"
"Two thousand one hundred taels!"
Qingxuan continued to call out the price: "Two thousand two hundred taels."
Finally, she bought the blood reishi mushroom for three hundred and thirty taels.
Song Tingfeng couldn't help but think to himself, ordinary century-old blood spirit mushrooms usually cost around two thousand taels. But Qingxuan bought this blood spirit mushroom at a price higher than the market value. It seemed she really needed this blood spirit mushroom.
After successfully capturing the blood spirit mushroom, Qing Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Qingxuan: "Prime Minister Song, do I have enough money left to hire another bodyguard"
To know, she needed no ordinary guards, and the price naturally was very high.
As expected, she then saw Song Tingfeng shake his head.
Song Tingfeng told her, "In this Yun'gan Pavilion, the starting price for a slave with exceptional skills is one thousand taels. It usually takes at least three thousand taels to buy them. However, money is not a problem. I brought Xuan Langzhong here, and we don't need five thousand taels for a formality."
Qing Xuan understood Song Tingfeng's meaning. Although she only wanted 5,000 taels from Song Tingfeng, Song Tingfeng was willing to let her make up the rest of the money.
But to her, this had turned into human relations.
Since she now knows that the Cloud Terrace will come back to buy guards next time, it's not too late.
Just as Qingxuan was about to get up and tell Song Tingfeng he could leave, she saw a metal cage being pushed to the center of the auction stage downstairs.
The moment the iron cage was opened, a boy with skin as white as snow, and even eyelashes and hair as white as snow, appeared before everyone.
This boy!
Qingxuan immediately saw that this boy had albinism.
Upon seeing the youth's appearance, the audience erupted in a chorus of gasps.
"A cursed white ghost!"
In this world, people with albinism are called "white ghosts" and are considered to be bearers of bad luck, cursed from birth.
"What a bummer!"
This white ghost still filming what! No one wants him even if he begs!
Upon hearing the clamor, people shouted "bad luck," but the middle-aged auctioneer remained composed.
However, the boy in the iron cage was like a frightened little beast. He wore tattered and blood-stained clothes, hugging his knees and shrinking in the corner. His pair of black eyes were very clear, like lake water reflecting moonlight in the night, revealing a pure light.
At this time, the auctioneer began to introduce the boy's situation.
The auctioneer said, "Although this young man is a white ghost, he has been treated as a medicinal person since birth. He is not only immune to all poisons but also possesses the speed of a wild beast."
The auctioneer, having finished speaking, opened the iron cage. Inside, a young boy had heavy shackles on his feet.
Under the auctioneer's instruction, a young servant carried an iron box onto the stage and carefully stood three steps away from it, using an iron hook to open the box.
A bamboo leaf green snake slithered out, the next instant a white shadow flashed, the boy's reaction was like lightning, his speed astonishing.
In the next instant, the venomous snake had been bitten by the youth at its vulnerable spot, the seven inches.
Fresh blood gushed from the boy's mouth, but it belonged to the venomous serpent.
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, the boy, like a starving man, swallowed the venomous snake whole.
As the boy swallowed the venomous snake, he felt the disdainful glances of the crowd. He lowered his head in fear, as if the poisonous snake had been nothing but harmless to him. At this moment, it was the scorn and curses from the crowd that truly frightened him.
The boy dared not look at the people around him and was immediately ushered into a cage by the auctioneer.
The auctioneer said, "As you all saw just now, buying him back to be a medicine man would be best of all."
At this moment, someone was moved: "That's true. If it were an ordinary medicine person bought back, they would die in two days and have to buy a new one. This one that is immune to all poisons is different. One is worth ten!"
Even some people had nasty thoughts.
"I've played with every type of male pet, but this white ghost is still a fresh novelty. Just thinking about the scene of teasing this white ghost makes my heart itch!"
Qingxuan almost vomited up even last night's dinner when she heard this.
At this point, the auctioneer begins the bidding process.ssion remained calm and composed. Mei Fei felt a renewed fondness for Qing Xuan's composure.No wonder Nan Gong Ye cares so much about Qing Xuan. Besides Qing Xuan's good medical skills, her bearing i...
