Chinese medicine pays attention to ingredients.
In traditional Chinese medicine, ambergris has the functions of resolving phlegm and relieving asthma; promoting qi and dispersing stagnation; promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria; and treating asthma, cough, and shortness of breath; chest tightness and qi stagnation; accumulation of masses; heart and abdominal pain; and coma.
They used ambergris as a medicine to draw out the microorganisms and poisonous insects in Ye Wangchuan's blood.
The ambergris being auctioned tonight is thousands of years old and is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in a royal family.
Qiao Nian checked the public information about it and found out that its owner, that is, the owner of this generation of inherited spices, was a playboy who was not ambitious. His family immigrated to Country M since his grandfather's generation and had been prosperous for hundreds of years. But in his generation, a waste appeared. Not only did he not study like his elders, he was also an uneducated gambler.
Moreover, through immigration, their descendants have mixed with American blood. By the third generation, they don't buy into the traditional education theories of the older generation at all.
After he squandered his family fortune, his parents were unwilling to give up on their child like the people in Country M, so they auctioned off the precious collections passed down in the family.
It is just to raise gambling money for the children.
…These were the data that Qiao Nian could not find. But she did not believe a single word of the data that she could find.
It was obvious that tonight was a setup. The ambergris being auctioned was a hook to lure her over here. She just wanted to see what the other party was up to.
In addition, she was determined to get the ambergris used as bait, whether she had to buy it or force it.
So before coming in at night, Qiao Nian arranged for Ji Lin and Gu San to bring people outside to block all the exits, and was determined to turn the place upside down tonight and to confront the opponent head-on.
Ambergris is important to them.
For tonight's auction, ambergris is just an ordinary item, appearing sixth from the last.
After Qiao Nian and his friends arrived, they sat in the VIP room, surrounded by many other 'VIPs' wearing feather masks.
Qiao Nian was not interested in them. She had attended many auctions like this before and knew that only a small number of these people were present in person. Most of the seated "VIPs" were just servants wearing wireless headphones and receiving instructions to help buy things.
She was wearing a baseball cap and looked leisurely, which was in stark contrast to the people around her. If she hadn't been sitting in her seat with her arms folded, waiting for something, at first glance, she wouldn't have looked like a 'buyer' who came here to buy things.
The auction is ongoing.
In front are exquisite crowns, porcelain, jewelry, gold, ancient Egyptian collections, etc., all of which are rare items on the market.
She was so bored that she flipped through the auction brochure at hand and found that the last item to be auctioned was not an item, but a person.
A super chemist with a high degree of education and intelligence should be auctioned as a tool for drug purification.
The price is not low.
This person is quite famous in the black market, codenamed Nighthawk. Qiao Nian has probably heard of his name, a person who walks in the gray area and is both good and evil.
These were not her focus.
She is waiting.
Time passed slowly as she waited patiently, and finally it was the turn of the auction item she had been waiting for more than an hour - ambergris.
Qiao Nian sat up straight in an instant, his eyes shining with brilliance, locking onto the auction item pushed out on the stage - the man in the underground salesperson lifted the flannel on the box, and Qiao Nian could determine the quality and age of the ambergris at a glance from a distance.
She lowered her voice and said to the person next to her: "It's true." (End of this chapter)
