Chapter 61: The Ultimate Showdown

The bidding scene was extremely fierce.

Moreover, the prices skyrocketed at such a rapid pace that Gan Kun was left completely tongue-tied.

In a mere five minutes, the price surged to a staggering one billion.

Gan Kun felt like crying.

He hadn't managed to accumulate this much wealth after a lifetime of hard work, yet Tang Xuan achieved it in just five minutes.

And the bidders showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.

This was hardly surprising, however.

Everyone standing here belonged to the prominent clans of Junyang City, and the patients in their households were individuals of extremely high status.

For them, as long as a cure could be attained, the cost was entirely irrelevant.

Ultimately, the price for Tang Xuan’s very first house call was locked in at one billion five hundred million.

It was even more thrilling than an auction, leaving Gan Kun's hands trembling even after the bidding concluded.

Money flowed into Tang Xuan’s wallet like water.

Wang Tao walked up to Gan Kun.

"When will he be available for the house call?"

In the past, when facing a prominent figure like Wang Tao, Gan Kun wouldn't even dare to draw a full breath.

But now, he could stand tall.

"President Wang, once the funds arrive today, he will make the visit tomorrow."

Wang Tao nodded and left.

Before long, Tang Xuan, still resting in his villa, received the notification of the funds being deposited.

Thinking back to his previous life, after the age of ten, simply getting enough to eat was a struggle, yet now earning over a billion was effortless.

"Easy come, easy go. A little over a billion won't even be enough to participate in a few auctions."

The next day, the eyes of everyone in Junyang City were focused on the Wang family.

Especially the families who had lost the bidding, they were burning with eagerness to see the outcome.

Wang Li’s condition was common knowledge. If he could be cured, then Tang Xuan’s reputation as a miraculous physician would be beyond question.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Su family estate.

Su Qing was pushing Su Hu through the courtyard so he could breathe some fresh air.

"Grandpa, have you heard about that miracle doctor lately? It's been the talk of the town in Junyang City."

Su Hu nodded and said, "I heard he even held a bidding war for his house calls."

Su Qing chuckled.

"It's utterly ridiculous. I've never heard of such a method before."

"And the Wang family actually secured his first house call with a sky-high bid of one.5 billion. In my opinion, this person is nothing more than a fraud."

Su Hu smiled as well.

"Although Wang Li’s illness is different from mine, it is equally incurable, beyond the help of anyone in this world."

"He truly does not want to die to actually place his trust in someone like that."

Su Qing remarked, "Had Wang Li remained in Liu Hao's hands, he might have lived a bit longer."

"Now that Liu Hao refuses to treat him, who knows how much longer he has left?"

Su Hu shook his head.

"Such matters are not for us to concern ourselves with."

"How are your preparations coming along for the auction of that cultivation manual?"

Two months had passed, yet the Su family had not initiated the auction for the cultivation manual, nor had they engaged in any external publicity.

Because she was waiting for the right moment.

Since Zhan Ling desired this cultivation manual, they had to prevent too many people from participating in the auction; otherwise, the price would skyrocket to an extent the Su family could never bear.

After all, the Su family was merely a wealthy local clan in Junyang City, dwarfed by countless ultra-wealthy entities beyond their comparison.

"Grandpa, half a month from now is World Auction Day. The International Auction House is hosting a large-scale event, and from what I know, this auction will feature many top-tier unique items that will surely capture the attention of most people."

"If we auction the cultivation manual at that time, the number of participants will be significantly reduced."

Su Hu nodded in satisfaction.

"You must find a way to help Grandpa Zhan secure this cultivation manual."

"If he can break through to the Heavenly Sky Realm, the future standing of the Su family will be beyond imagination."

Su Hu sighed softly.

"It's just a pity that I won't live to see that day."

A pang of sorrow rippled through Su Qing's heart.

Time was running out for Su Hu, yet she still hadn't found anyone capable of saving him.

That miraculous doctor had been creating quite a stir lately, but Su Qing cared not the least about him, refusing even to look into his background.

Because she knew clearly that doctors could not cure Su Hu.

Yet, Tang Xuan's words would occasionally echo in Su Qing's mind.

The closed-door disciple of a Heavenly Sky Realm expert.

However, every time she recalled this, Su Qing felt only a deeper resentment toward Tang Xuan.

Because she had already concluded that Tang Xuan was merely toying with her.

Instead, Su Qing had developed a different notion.

Could the person who possessed the cultivation manual hold a way to save her grandfather?

Regrettably, no matter how she inquired, Gan Kun remained tight-lipped about the owner of the cultivation manual, leaving her completely unable to uncover their identity.

The Wang family residence.

Countless onlookers had gathered outside the bustling entrance just to watch the spectacle.

Among the crowd were a few ordinary citizens, but the majority were intelligence gatherers sent by other families awaiting news.

They needed to use this house call as a benchmark to determine the bidding amount for the next round.

Should Wang Li recover from his illness, the next bidding price would undoubtedly reach an astronomical figure.

Liu Hao was also standing among the crowd.

He was waiting to watch Tang Xuan make a fool of himself.

He knew Wang Li’s condition better than anyone, and he was certain that Wang Li could never be cured.

"Everyone, get ready for a good show. If he manages to cure Wang Li's illness, I, Liu Hao, will stop practicing medicine for the rest of my life."

"Master Liu, your spotlight as the miracle doctor has been stolen, you must be pretty upset, right?"

"What if he actually cures him?"

"Your title as the miracle doctor will probably change hands entirely."

Liu Hao smiled faintly.

"I understand Wang Li's condition better than anyone else."

"Since I said it's incurable, it is definitely incurable."

"No one's medical skill surpasses mine. Just wait and see."

Liu Hao's expression was unwavering, but very few people at the scene were willing to believe him.

After all, the number of people Tang Xuan had cured over the past two months was simply too high, and those instances were undeniable.

Inside Wang Li’s bedroom.

When Wang Tao saw Tang Xuan appear, a trace of doubt inevitably arose in his heart.

Because Tang Xuan was far too young, looking almost nothing like a doctor.

He deeply doubted whether Tang Xuan possessed any genuine ability.

"You are that miracle doctor?"

"Looking down on me? Shall I refund your money and call off the treatment?"

Wang Tao gritted his teeth.

This fellow was outrageously arrogant!

Facing the Wang family, he actually dared to act this pretentious.

"One billion five hundred million. If you fail to cure my father, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"The Wang family's money is not so easily taken."

Tang Xuan smiled faintly.

"After he is cured, you will kneel and thank me properly."

"You..."

Wang Tao was so infuriated his scalp tinged with numbness.

No one in Junyang City had ever dared to tell him to kneel!

Su Qin appeared in the capacity of Tang Xuan's assistant, harboring considerable doubts regarding his medical skills.

Over the past two months, although she had accompanied Tang Xuan on every house call, she had never actually witnessed his treatment process.

Whether he merely hired actors or possessed genuine healing abilities, Su Qin had no idea.

Yet Su Qin was certain of one thing: Wang Li would never cooperate with him in putting on a show.

Whether he possessed true talent or not would be revealed right here and now.
