Boss Ma's words left everyone in astonishment, just as they were about to smile.

Xu Nan, barely suppressing a giggle, shifted her gaze from Boss Ma's sleazy face to Shen Qiang, and with a slight apology in her beautiful eyes, said, "Invalid bid."

Boss Ma was stunned, and just as he was about to angrily speak.

The thin old man sitting opposite the VIP section covered his watch with his sleeve, took a deep breath in contentment, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, saying, "This incense makes my thoughts clear and frees me from anxiety. It plays a crucial role when making significant company decisions, so I bid fifteen million!"

Upon hearing this bid,

more than half of those eager to try in the auction hall became deflated.

"Goodness, this incense is really amazing, but a small bundle for fifteen million... I truly can't afford it!"

"As expected, the world of the wealthy is beyond our understanding..."

"This is too crazy, a big boss offering fifteen million for incense..."

While they were staring in shock, in the ordinary seats, an old man calmly raised his paddle and said, "Although it's not a small amount, being able to keep a clear mind and peaceful heart is something no antique can give me, so I bid twenty million."

"Twenty-five million!" The middle-aged man who first called out pulled off his tie and said in a deep voice, "My family business has assets of over a billion; each decision determines how far the company can go, so I'm not concerned about such petty cash now. If you want to compete, bring it on!"

Upon hearing this, the thin old man's eyes turned cold: "Thirty million! Although I know it's irrational, I know that once I get this incense, I can steer clear of anxiety, so it's worth it!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.

After all, thirty million was not a small figure.

At this moment, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up like a tiger's.

Thirty million, that already meant his Dahe Luojianan Fragrance had equaled the Spring River Flower Moon Map!

Moreover, to everyone's shock, Liu Chengye, who seemed still immersed in the heart-calming and mind-soothing effect of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, unexpectedly raised his hand decisively and said in a deep voice, "Thirty-five million!"

Instantly, everyone in the auction hall was astounded.

"My god, has this Liu gone crazy? According to the previous bet, as long as Shen Qiang's Dahe Luojianan Fragrance doesn't surpass the Spring River Flower Moon Map, that incense is his, so why would he bid!"

"This young man is no simpleton. When the price reached thirty million, it meant Shen Qiang's bet already had an unbeatable footing, and the other big shots on the scene were obviously going to continue bidding, so no matter what, his Spring River Flower Moon Map would lose to Shen Qiang. In such circumstances, he decisively bid; it looks rash, but if he really won this magical fragrance, maybe at a different time or place, the profit might compensate for the loss."

"Indeed, such a magical incense, just one piece is hard to find, let alone a bundle of a hundred pieces. If he divides and sells it after getting it, mildly increasing the price, maybe he can earn some money to make up for the Spring River Flower Moon Map's loss."

Amid the crowd's discussions, the plump man who had been sitting in the VIP first seat all along, without uttering a word, suddenly spoke: "This bundle contains a hundred sticks; why are we all fighting so fiercely for it? Forty million! I can keep just ten sticks for myself, and distribute the others at a fair price."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone brightened.

"Forty million for a hundred sticks, which means forty thousand per stick. If you're only lighting it for major decision-making, you could use one stick sparingly about three to four times, which is approximately ten thousand per use, quite reasonable!"

"At forty thousand a stick, maybe I can…"

As everyone had a twinkle of hope, feeling they had a chance,

Xu Nan's face turned a bit unpleasant.

In fact, the annoying part about this bulk purchase and retail method is that it can push the price down, which would reduce Heshenghe's commission, and Shen Qiang's proceeds would also decrease.

However, considering he was the VIP head and that, even at just forty million, Shen Qiang still won the value of thirty million's Spring River Flower Moon Map, Xu Nan couldn't say much.

Once a tacit agreement was reached among them, this bundle of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance was auctioned off for a high price of forty million, making Shen Qiang unbelievably pleasantly surprised.

Bear in mind, the raw materials for this were incredibly cheap.

Three truckloads of raw materials cost less than ten thousand.

Not only that.

This Dahe Luojianan Fragrance previously not only successfully resolved the Doushi Temple turmoil but also exchanged it for the Inmovable Ming King Mantra.

And now it has fetched a high price of forty million!

Once again proving that the saying 'knowledge is power' is very true.

Not only that.

The Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, made from three truckloads of raw materials, filled up Shen Qiang's house, occupying an entire small side room, a total of nearly ten tons, and if calculated by stick, the number would undoubtedly be more terrifying.,

"I'm rich!" Shen Qiang's eyes shone brightly, and although Heshenghe wasn't in desperate need of money, who would dislike having more money?

Meanwhile, as Shen Qiang was pleasantly surprised, the whole hall burst into chaos.

Well-dressed, seemingly affluent and tasteful middle-aged men rushed madly toward the VIP first seat.

"Here's a forty-thousand-dollar check, just for one stick of incense!"

"I want two sticks, please distribute them to me!"

"I'm pleading; I have elderly parents and young children to feed, please give me two sticks!"

The scene left Shen Qiang astonished.

At that moment, Liu Chengye and the previous middle-aged man, along with the two old men who had bid, were not courteous. They forcefully pushed through the crowd and stood before the elderly man's face.

"Twenty pieces!" The middle-aged man's tone was stern, and then, amid envious glances from all, he took the twenty pieces of Dahe Luojianan Fragrance from the hand of the VIP first seat with full excitement, like they were treasures, and placed them into a box.

Meanwhile, two other old men gracefully took ten pieces each.

At this time, Liu Chengye didn't hesitate to step forward and said, "Twenty pieces!"

Immediately, upon receiving those twenty sticks of incense, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Treasure, such a treasure; with this, I'm bound to become a Mixed Element Realm expert in the future."

This statement astonished those around him.

However, at that moment, compared to Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, nobody cared about realms; seeing that the VIP first seat was surrounded to the point where he couldn't leave, he tossed one stick into the air and shouted, "Whoever catches it gets it."

Instantly, everyone lunged forward.

"It's mine!"

"Give it to me!"

"Hahaha, perfect, I actually grabbed a piece!"

"Hahaha, the piece I grabbed is bigger than yours!"

"Stop right there, I only got a scrap; come back here! I promise I won't beat you to death!"

Watching the well-dressed crowd, who outside this place were each elite members of society, tearing their clothes and bleeding from their noses, still cheering for holding a coin-sized Dahe Luojianan Fragrance,

Shen Qiang stood up, shaking his head helplessly.

"Sigh... What a group of ignorant people, fighting over a single stick of incense like this... If they were to see nearly ten tons of incense casually piled up in my side room, wouldn't they start stabbing each other?"
