The atmosphere at the auction site immediately changed, with the price skyrocketing all the way up to fifty million and still climbing.

Sixty million, sixty-five million, finally sixty-nine million was secured by Yali Investments.

This once again pushed the entire auction to a climax, and then the other vegetables from Xishan Restaurant were auctioned off one by one.

When the last batch of beans was sold for eight million, Feng Chen gave a heavy strike with the hammer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention, the regular items have all been auctioned. Now, we come to the star of tonight's event, the seeds of the Heart-Talk Fruit.

I believe many people are here specifically for the Heart-Talk Fruit seeds, and you must be looking forward to it.

If you look online, a single Heart-Talk Fruit seed easily sells for tens of thousands of dollars, but we all know its true value.

As far as I know, there is currently only one tree that bears Heart-Talk Fruit, located in Qinghe Village at Xishan Manor, and it no longer has any fruit.

Many people believe the round pit inside a Heart-Talk Fruit is its seed, and while there's no problem with that, no one has successfully grown it yet.

Rumors of successful cultivation are mostly unfounded; if Heart-Talk Fruit were that easy to grow, it wouldn't be so valuable.

Now, the seeds of Heart-Talk Fruit are here, and their growth is guaranteed. Xi Shan Group assures responsibility for this seed, ensuring it sprouts.

Our International Auction House will see this matter through to the end. We have already arranged supervision by us and maintenance by Xi Shan Group.

The process will be livestreamed online 24/7 until the seed germinates and grows ten centimeters tall, after which the flowerpot will be delivered to the buyer who wins the auction today.

We are doing this to ensure the seed's authenticity and guarantee that it will grow into a Heart-Talk Fruit Tree, allowing you to bid with confidence."

Feng Chen's words ignited thunderous applause from the audience, with many sincerely praising the International Auction House.

This is no easy task, everyone is aware of the significance of the Heart-Talk Fruit, hence the fierce competition to acquire it.

Its rarity is evident to everyone; it's not just restaurant owners buying it, but affluent individuals seeking to satisfy their vanity.

Those who spend billions on antiques do so to demonstrate their prowess and make a statement.

Therefore, many rich entrepreneurs desire the Heart-Talk Fruit, and it's rare to see an auction house as serious and responsible as this.

Feng Chen said, "I'll spare you the chatter, the item is right here. It might be small, and you might not see it, but it's undoubtedly genuine."

"The auction starts now, with a starting price of ten million."

"Twenty million!"

"Thirty million!"

"One hundred million!"

The people from Silver Dragon instantly raised the price to one hundred million, knocking many out of contention without even a chance to bid.

Everyone was stunned, both in the venue and watching the livestream, all eyes were on Silver Dragon's chief steward.

Someone continued to bid: "One hundred and ten million!"

The bidder was from Green Grass, and both parties had been alternately increasing the price earlier.

"One hundred and thirty million!" Yali's people placed their bid, showing their determination.

The bidding war between the two parties began, with prices constantly rising.

On the second floor, Chen Qian asked Ma Long: "How high do you think the price will go before it stops?"

Ma Long replied: "Silver Dragon's capital is six billion, and they've spent a considerable amount of Yali's and Green Grass's money earlier; they're likely determined to win."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised and asked: "You think the price will reach six billion?"

Ma Long said: "That depends on how much money Yali and Green Grass have left; if they're out of funds now, there's nothing they can do."

Chen Qian said: "Looks like Silver Dragon is determined to win."

Ma Long guessed: "About right."

At this point, the bidding had reached four billion, and the bids kept coming in.

Someone came in and whispered a few words in Ma Long's ear, to which Ma Long nodded, and the person walked out.

After the person left, Ma Long said to Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian: "I think there's going to be some new variables."

The two were puzzled and asked: "Why do you say that?"

Ma Long pointed downstairs at a spot with his hand and said: "Look at those people over there."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly looked in that direction and saw a group of people whispering amongst themselves.

Ling Zhenfei exclaimed: "Foreigners?"

Ma Long said: "That's right, foreigners, rumored to be a prince from the Middle East."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked and said: "Could it be that a Middle Eastern prince also likes Heart-Talk Fruit?"

Ma Long said: "He might not like Heart-Talk Fruit or even know what it is, but he definitely likes expensive things."

Ling Zhenfei thought Ma Long's reasoning was sensible, and these people might indeed become a new variable in the auction for Heart-Talk Fruit.

Initially, Ling Zhenfei thought it would be sold to Tan Wangdong, but he realized that Tan Wangdong was just a small player compared to the immense market in the Capital City—a prospect he never dared to imagine before.

With so many investment companies possessing sharp insight and now a prince in the mix, who knows what will happen?

The competition had reached a fever pitch, with Silver Dragon offering five billion eight hundred million, shocking everyone.

Everyone watched the scene with their mouths agape, astonished as the price climbed to six billion, surpassing many renowned antiques.

Originally, recording was not allowed at the auction, but the situation had become special. No one expected this situation at the beginning; they thought it was mere vegetable usage rights, but the night's winning bid surpassed many large auctions.

The online audience was very intrigued too; Brother Xiao Sa's four platforms had millions of viewers, and his voice quivered as he spoke.

This was his highest live audience ever, with attention continuing to rise, as were the gifts showering in.

"It's about to reach six billion, my goodness! This is my first time livestreaming an auction, and it's exhilarating. We truly don't understand the life of the wealthy; someone is spending six billion on a single seed."

"Now, let's see if anyone follows suit. It's uncertain if the final price will exceed six billion."

At this moment, Feng Chen shouted: "Five billion eight hundred million, is there anyone else willing to bid higher?"

Feng Chen's voice was also trembling; it was his first time sounding like this. Tonight had been incredibly exciting, repeatedly setting new records for him.

Initially, when Feng Chen learned the auction item was vegetables, he refused unless Ma Long contacted him personally because he would have turned it down.
