A Child Carrying Gold Through a Busy Market?

After the second Zengyuan Pill was auctioned off, Ning Wangshu soon put the third and fourth Zengyuan Pills up for auction as well.

The third was still bought by Xue Ning for 320 million. As for the fourth, Xue Ning didn't continue bidding, and another person bought it for the high price of 350 million.
