"The next item up for auction is a set of silver needles, rumored to be the prized possession of Ge Hong, the seventh-generation successor of the Medical Immortal of Guigu. This set consists of forty-nine needles, which our organizers have verified to be crafted from superior-grade mithril. Their value is immeasurable. The opening bid is ten million!"
As the host finished the introduction, a buzz of discussion rippled through the venue.
It was actually the silver needles used by Ge Hong!
Ge Hong was a famous medical expert and alchemist from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a master who practiced both medicine and the mystical arts, widely revered in his time as the "Little Immortal."
