I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 233 - 231 This is the sort of thing we snack on

"Are you okay?" Back at the viewing window, Lu Yiyao cast a concerned look at Zhang Menglong, who had been in the bathroom for so long—could it be that he had diarrhea?

"I’m fine, just taking a dump. It’s pretty normal to spend half an hour with your phone," Zhang Menglong said with a laugh, seizing the opportunity to glance over at Lu Yiyao and Wang Ling’s girlfriend. The ring, which represented the identity of the president of the Super God Academy, immediately gave him their information.

Lu Yiyao’s Potential Index was 5, with a vocal music Gift, and a D-level pop music singing Skill. As for Wang Ling’s girlfriend, her Potential Index was only 4, with no Gift and only an E-level hot dance Skill.

Just as Zhang Menglong had guessed, the Potential Index of ordinary people was around 5.

"I wonder how powerful Ye Yin is," Zhang Menglong couldn’t help being curious.

The ring seemed to read Ye Yin’s thoughts. Although Zhang Menglong couldn’t see Ye Yin, it appeared to sense life forms within a certain range and displayed Ye Yin’s data before his eyes.

Name: Ye Yin

Race: Human

Identity: Personal bodyguard

Potential Index: 80

Gift: Assassination

Skill: Spiritual power enhancement (D), physical enhancement (D)

Evaluation: A fairly formidable human

"A ’fairly’ formidable human?" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. If someone like Ye Yin was considered fairly formidable, wasn’t this ring being a bit too strict?

But thinking about how his own parents were hunting Thanos, it did not seem so strange after all.

"I made it in time!" At this moment, Wang Ling, who had finished in the bathroom, hurried back. "Has it started yet?"

"Just started." Zhang Menglong smiled slightly, and at this moment, Emma walked back to the auction stage.

Zhang Menglong did not notice that Lu Yiyao was looking at him with a rather unfamiliar gaze. As someone close to Zhang Menglong, she had a keen feeling that there was a subtle change in him compared to twenty minutes ago, as if something was different, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it," Lu Yiyao turned her attention back to the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have been waiting for this final auction item for a long time," Emma said, "Although our Limits Auction has a very high level of confidentiality, I think the well-informed among you have already received some information. Now, let me unveil this final auction item for everyone!"

Emma opened the file for the last auction item—she was also finding out what it was for the first time at this moment. After a brief glance at its description, she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

"What on earth is it? Why does she look like that?"

"It seems that this final auction item is no ordinary item. Among the hundred or so treasures before, I’ve never seen her show such a lapse in composure."

"This... this is unbelievable!" Emma exclaimed as she revealed the last auction item’s mysterious veil.

"What is this?"

The screen showed only a box the size of an adult’s fist. In the center of the box, there lay a dark purple sphere about three centimeters in diameter, its surface streaked with intricate lines, looking extremely exquisite.

"Isn’t this just Maltesers? A few bucks a pack, are you kidding me?" Wang Ling immediately showed a look of disappointment.

"What Maltesers? I feel like this looks more like an elixir."

"Elixir? My foot!" Wang Ling laughed, "There are plenty of swindlers in this world, all claiming to sell miracle elixirs. A few years ago, my dad encountered a con artist who claimed to be a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, with the true transmission of his Alchemy Technique, able to concoct some great supplement pill."

"Then what happened?" Zhang Menglong asked with interest.

"Then he spent twenty thousand bucks on some kidney nourishing pill, and after taking it, he had diarrhea for a whole week," Wang Ling said with a skeptical look, "But it doesn’t make sense. This Limits Auction is supposed to be very credible; they shouldn’t be selling fake stuff!"

"Let’s listen to her introduction, and then we’ll know," Zhang Menglong said, "What if this really is some kind of Miracle Elixir?"

"You must all be very curious, right?" Emma seemed still shocked by the special nature of the auction item, "If there is anyone here who knows about Huaxia’s history, they must be aware that two thousand years ago, during the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, in his quest to find the Immortal Elixir and become the eternal ruler of Huaxia, once sent a man named Xu Fu to seek for the elixir in the sea."

The foreigners in the audience were all looking at each other, not many were genuinely interested in understanding Huaxia history, but the Huaxia people in the audience were all listening with great interest. The story of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s quest for the Immortal Elixir was no stranger to anyone with a bit of cultural knowledge.

It is said that after Xu Fu went out to sea, he disappeared without a trace. Some say he perished in the ocean, while others claim he found the Immortal Elixir and consumed it himself, but these are all just unconfirmed legends.

"In fact, Xu Fu didn’t die. He really did encounter an Immortal, who was moved by his sincerity and crafted three Immortal Pills to give him."

"Fuck me, this is getting more and more ridiculous!" Wang Ling seemed to have no patience to listen anymore; if there really were such things as Immortals in this world, then they’d be looking at ghosts.

"Of course, the person Mr. Xu Fu encountered back then wasn’t any Immortal, but a master who had learned the ancient Huaxia alchemy. Although these Immortal Pills can’t make one truly immortal, they are capable of prolonging life and even unlocking human potential."

"Of course, it’s up to you all whether you believe it or not. Let the auction begin now!"

"Is this for real?" Whispers started to spread among the audience.

"That’s just too far-fetched, daring to use Huaxia legends like that. Is this Ultimate Auction trying to ruin its own reputation?"

"Hahaha, maybe this thing really can lengthen one’s life!" someone laughed, "Huaxia is a very magical country, isn’t it?"

"So you’re buying?"

"Haha, I wouldn’t buy it, whoever buys it is a sucker!"

"But why would they use this kind of thing as the finale? Could someone really pay a high price for it?"

"50 million Euros!" Surprisingly, someone actually started the bidding! This voice came from the number one VIP room which had been silent from the start, even shouting out a bid of 50 million Euros right off the bat.

"100 million Euros!"

"150 million!"

"200 million Euros!"

...

To everyone’s surprise, the auction price soared rapidly, even exceeding the previous hundred-plus auction items. And apart from Zhang Menglong, all the guests in the VIP rooms joined in.

"The Immortal Pill of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, someone actually found the last one! I must acquire it!" In the VIP room belonging to Dream Palace, a person from Kaibong named Shen Yuanjun said with a serious face.

They were certain the legend was true!

Indeed, those three Immortal Pills had miraculous powers, but Xu Fu didn’t bring them back with him because on the way home, he encountered a woman who stole and ate one of the Immortal Pills, gaining powers no human should possess and even seizing the remaining two.

However, because the power of the Immortal Pill hadn’t been fully digested at that time, she was pursued by soldiers with Xu Fu, fleeing to Kaibong, and from her the famous image of the Nine-tailed Fox Tamamo-no-Mae was derived.

Later, it was said that this woman died of her severe injuries, and the whereabouts of the remaining two elixirs were lost. Initially, the people of Kaibong treated this simply as a legend.

Just a few years ago, someone from America’s military somehow managed to find one of these Immortal Pills. Despite being over two thousand years old, this Immortal Pill was remarkably preserved. Moreover, a Level Seven individual, after consuming this Immortal Pill, astonishingly became an individual exceeding level nine in just half a year!

This news spread within a small circle in the Second World.

An individual beyond level nine of the Second World human race, was sufficient to change the entire world’s underground situation! And since then, Second World humans all over the world frantically began searching for this third Immortal Pill.

Not long ago, this third Immortal Pill was found by people from this Ultimate Auction, attracting various powerful countries to send wealthy representatives, covertly convening here vying for this third Immortal Pill.

Of course, apart from individuals from the Second World and the high-ranking officials from various countries, almost no one else knew about this, including Zhang Menglong.

"Mr. Zhang, this thing is real," Ye Yin said. He briefly recounted the ancient legend, and by that time, the price had soared to a staggering 2.1 billion Euros!

"What? Really?" Zhang Menglong heard this and suddenly grew eager, "That won’t do; I must get in on this!"

"5 billion Euros!" Zhang Menglong suddenly doubled the price and then some.

"Zhang Menglong, 5 billion Euros for a Maltesers? Have you lost your mind?" Wang Ling grabbed Zhang Menglong, who had stood up, and pulled him back to his seat.

"Mr. Zhang, there’s no need for you to waste money on bidding for such a thing," Ye Yin said with a smile.

"How can I not buy this? It prolongs life! It’s a great supplement, even better than steroids!" Zhang Menglong exclaimed.

Ye Yin laughed: "Actually, in your home, we treat it like a snack!"
