Chapter 58: Ambergris

After successfully taking the fire pit viper eggs, Ye Lingyue was in a good mood.

"I can't see that my sister's preferences are really special. The woman in red pursed her lips and smiled. When she saw that Ye Lingyue was handsome, she thought that she liked jewelry, rouge and gouache like ordinary women, but who knew that she actually bought such a terrible thing as a fire-bellied snake egg.

"It's just a matter of personal preference, I don't think my sister has made a move, is it because these things can't be seen?"

After so many rounds of auctions, the woman in red has not looked at the auction items with her eyes, Ye Lingyue listened to her talking temperament, and also knew that her background was extraordinary, but she didn't know what kind of thing could attract her to make a move.

"What I'm interested in is still to come, and I'm here today to take a picture of a gift for my father. In a few days, he will be 50 years old. The woman in red didn't hide it, and told Ye Lingyue that she had just moved to Licheng a year ago with her father and mother.

The two laughed a few more words, and at the last moment of the auction, the shopkeeper of Juqi Building ordered someone to bring out something.

I saw something like that, but it was the size of two palms, swarthy, like stone and wood.

As soon as the things were moved in, there was a refreshing aroma wafting in the entire treasure hall.

"What I'm going to buy is that hundred-year-old piece of agarwood. The woman in red simply explained the origin of agarwood to Ye Lingyue.

Agarwood is a southern area, a kind of crystals grown on the incense tree, only need to cut a small piece, used to burn incense, grinding powder, can treat a variety of diseases, is a treasure comparable to the elixir.

The father of the woman in red had some old diseases in his early years, and agarwood was very good for his body.

"I believe that many people here are here for this piece of century-old agarwood, and the reserve price of this piece of agarwood is 10,000 taels. The shopkeeper of Juqilou didn't make much introduction, after all, agarwood is hard to find, and those who are interested in it are all people with faces in the city.

Such a small piece of something costs 10,000 taels, and in these days, wood is more expensive than gold?

Ye Lingyue stared at the piece of agarwood, her heart smacked, she originally thought that her blue-veined Xuanyin Pill was valuable enough, but compared to her agarwood, it was really far behind.

"Eleven thousand taels. As soon as the woman in red spoke, she took the lead and directly added a thousand taels.

There were many people present who were taboo about the identity of the woman in red, and the price of this piece of agarwood was indeed high, and there were only a few people who offered the price.

"Twenty thousand taels. In the end, there was only a man who looked like a fat businessman and the woman in red bargaining with each other.

"Sister, don't you think that the fat man is inflating the price, and he has been whispering to the accomplice beside him, as if he is calculating something. When the price was coaxed to 30,000 taels, Ye Lingyue couldn't help but whisper a reminder to the woman in red.

She had been looking at the fat businessman and had always felt that something was wrong with him.

The woman in red was reminded by Ye Lingyue like this, and then looked at the fat man carefully, her brows furrowed.

The woman in red was dizzy for a while in order to grab the agarwood earlier, but when she took a closer look, she found that the fat man was a famous profiteer in the city.

This man usually sells fakes and black stolen goods, can it be that agarwood......

"Wait, shopkeeper, I want to see that piece of agarwood. The woman in red stopped the auction, and according to the rules of Juqilou, the buyer could inspect the goods halfway.

She believed in Ju Qilou, so she did not doubt the authenticity of the agarwood, but at this time, it seems that there may be some problems with the origin of the agarwood.

The shopkeeper of Juqilou naturally recognized the identity of the woman in red, so he invited her up.

The woman in red looked at the agarwood, there was nothing wrong with the hundred-year-old agarwood, but ......

The woman looked at the agarwood and found that there were blood stains at the bottom of the agarwood.

A few days earlier, a chamber of commerce in a neighboring city was transporting a piece of century-old agarwood through Licheng, but it was looted halfway, and dozens of people from the chamber of commerce were killed......

The woman in red had a pale face, she was silent, put down the agarwood, and stopped bidding.

Seeing that the woman in red suddenly gave up the bidding, the fat merchant and his accomplices were also very depressed, so they could only spend 30,000 taels to "buy" the blood-stained agarwood back.

The first half of the auction is over, and the second half is the treasure appreciation.

This link, unlike the previous auction, the items of treasure appraisal are not sold to the public, only for appraisal, for those who like to collect and have experience in treasure appreciation, this second half is much more interesting than the auction.

The shopkeeper of Juqi Building ordered someone to bring the items to be appraised and placed them in the hall one by one.

Ye Lingyue saw at a glance that the items to be identified were also varied, there were about twenty or thirty kinds.

Ye Lingyue's piece of ore had also been identified by the people of Juqilou earlier, and even the appraisers of Juqilou couldn't figure out what kind of ore it was, so it was placed in an inconspicuous corner.

I hope that someone present will be able to recognize the origin of that piece of ore, Ye Lingyue thought to herself.

The woman in red didn't buy a hundred-year-old agarwood, her mood was a little low, she saw the items in her eyes at random, she was not interested, and when she was about to leave, suddenly, her eyes stopped in a corner of the treasure hall.

At the same time, the vice president of the Fangshi Association also noticed the ore, and the two walked forward quickly.

"What is this?" the woman in red had already walked over to the ore, her voice a little uncertain.

She picked up the ore and examined it carefully, and the more she looked, the more astonishment in her eyes.

The vice president of the Fangshi Association picked up the ore, weighed it, and then gently tapped the ore with his fingers and shook it in his ear.

There was a sound in my ears that resembled liquid shaking.

"Ambergris iron!" The vice president and the woman in red have already affirmed that this is the legendary ambergris iron that ranks third among all iron ores.

"Sister, what is ambergris iron?" Ye Lingyue took the opportunity to walk to the side of the woman in red.

The woman in red casually told Ye Lingyue the origin of this ore.

Ambergris iron is one of the best ores, and it is known as the three famous irons of the mainland together with the famous Nirvana iron and meteor iron in the mainland.

Its origin, there is also some mythology, is the ancient dragon of the ambergris dripping on the iron ore, the formation of the iron ore mutation, different from other iron, ambergris iron refining weapons, with strong elasticity, can be arbitrarily elongated and compressed.

Weapons made of ambergris iron are the best weapons that all warriors want to be able to obtain.

"So, this piece of ore is very valuable, how about it compared to the hundred-year-old agarwood just now?" Ye Lingyue's eyes were full of strange lights, and they almost turned into gold coins.
