It is said that Xu Xia came to the house of the second uncle in the capital and met the second uncle Xu Rui, who lived in the capital.

Xu Rui was very happy to see his nephew, asked Xu Xia what he had seen and heard along the way, and heard that Xu Xia's experience along the way was a little emotional, he was like Xu Xia when he was young, he liked to travel around, so he passed by the dangers on Xu Xia's road.

But when he heard Xu Xia talk about the things in the state city, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Xu Xia found that the second uncle's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Rui sighed and said: "Do you know, this matter is not a separate incident, as far as I know, during this time, many candidates from various major sects were assassinated on the road, and more than 30 candidates died, and the imperial court was furious and is strictly investigating this matter." ”

Xu Xia was also shocked, he never dreamed that the assassination he encountered was not accidental, even if he didn't hear what was going on outside the window, he could see the weirdness behind this incident.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you can cultivate in the mansion with peace of mind!"

Xu Rui comforted: "I have prepared some pills for you, your cultivation is too low, and the chance of entering the second rank is slim, but if your cultivation reaches the fifth level of qi refining, and the refining body is promoted to the second stage of the wood realm, you still have the strength to fight." ”

After Xu Xia heard that the various sects had sent a large number of outer disciples this time, he didn't dare to have too much extravagant hope for the impact on the second grade.

But the second uncle took out a large amount of pills for Xu Xia to cultivate, if his cultivation could really be improved within a month, there was still a little hope.

As for the assassination of the outer disciples of the various sects, it has nothing to do with Xu Xia.

Early the next morning in the main world, Lu Yu reappeared on the commercial street of Jinling, more than twenty days have passed since the last time he came here, but this time, Lu Yu's main goal was not to sell the forty taels of gold in his hand, but to come to an auction house.

In fact, Lu Yu should go to Hong Kong City, and no matter how bad it is, he should go to the Shanghai auction house, because only there can he get rid of the things in his hands at a high price.

But Lu Yu doesn't have much time now, not to mention that it takes four or five days to go back and forth to Hong Kong City, even if it is Shanghai, it will take two or three days, the key is that he is not familiar with Hong Kong City or Shanghai, and it is difficult to say if something happens.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yu still chose Jinling, which he was more familiar with, and as for the price of the loss, it was also within his bearing.

Guardian Auction House is an international auction company that also has its own branch in Jinling, and Lu Yu chose this auction to walk in in order to reduce trouble.

A young lady in professional attire at the back of the service desk saw Lu Yu appear, with a professional smile on her face, and greeted in a soft language: "Hello sir, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Lu Yu was also very simple: "I have a few things in my hand, and I am going to auction them here with you, is it okay?" ”

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll call the manager."

The beautiful young lady blinked with big eyes, and didn't ask Lu Yu what it was auctioning, dialed the internal phone and called a middle-aged man.

"Hello, my surname is Fan, and I am the manager here, can I take a look at the goods you are preparing to auction first?"

The middle-aged man is about forty years old, with a calm expression, giving people a sense of ability and shrewdness, with a modest and decent attitude, showing the quality of a large company to deal with people.

Lu Yu took out the ginseng and jade in his backpack, and in order to increase the value of the two items, Lu Yu also specially bought a brocade box, so as not to let his things fall in price.

When Manager Fan opened the box containing the ginseng and saw the excellent ginseng in the box, his face couldn't help but change, and he didn't even open the remaining box, and hurriedly said, "Please go to the VIP room, let's talk slowly?" ”

Waiting for Lu Yu to turn around and walk towards the VIP room, Manager Fan hurriedly turned his head and said, "Please invite two more appraisers to the VIP room, hurry!" ”

Not everyone can enter the VIP room, Manager Fan did not invite Lu Yu to the VIP room at the first time, but checked the goods first, and only after finding that the goods did have auction value, he would invite Lu Yu into the VIP room.

As a senior manager in this industry, he doesn't dare to say that he has seen all the good things, but most of the valuable things still know a little, and when he sees this ginseng, he can basically be sure that it is genuine, and the growth age is about seventy or eighty years, and it is difficult to determine how much.

But whether it's 70 years or 80 years, the price is very considerable.

You must know that with the changes of the times and large-scale collection activities, there are fewer and fewer precious wild ginseng, especially the wild ginseng that is old in the last year is even more difficult to find.

After a while, the young lady at the front desk led two gray-haired men into the VIP room, they are the appraisers specially appointed by the auction house, one of them is also very familiar with medicinal materials, and their appearance also means that the auction house attaches great importance to the lots.

When the eyes of the two appraisers fell on the ginseng, their eyes were full of excitement, and they ignored both Manager Fan and Lu Yu.

"This ginseng is about seventy years old."

"No, let me take a good look," an appraiser looked at the brocade box carefully, and said after a long time, "It's seventy-six to seventy-seven years, I didn't expect to see such ginseng now." ”

Manager Fan said anxiously on the side: "Is there a problem with this ginseng?" ”

The two appraisers put on their gloves excitedly, took out magnifying glasses and other items, and checked them almost inch by inch, and after a while, the two looked at each other and nodded, confirming that there was no problem with the quality of this ginseng, and nodded to Manager Fan.

There have been very few old ginseng in recent years, and I remember that the last time was three years ago, a 50-year-old ginseng appeared at an auction, and the price was 3 million.

This is not to say that this ginseng is worth more than 4 million for more than 20 years, and the price of ginseng will increase exponentially as it ages.

Next, Lu Yu took out the set of jade, and now even the two appraisers couldn't calm down, and looked at Manager Fan and said, "How is this possible, is it my eyes?" ”

The appraiser on the other side was also shocked, "This ...... Wouldn't this be the glass imperial jade? ”

In the brocade box, a jade bracelet and jade bi with a green color like a pool of clear water were lying quietly inside, exuding a soft brilliance, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Quick, bring the jade appraiser over."

Although the two appraisers in the VIP room can also confirm the authenticity of the jade in front of them, this matter is too shocking, which makes their hearts a little unbearable, and they want more people to share their shock.

Soon two more appraisers entered the VIP room, which was not too spacious, and the already small VIP room seemed crowded, but now no one would say anything, because they saw the precious jade that they would not necessarily see in their lifetime.

Manager Fan found that the four appraisers invited were all amazed, so he asked, "Is this really the best glass imperial jade?" ”

"Really, it can't be fake, ordinary people may not have seen imperial jade in their lives, I have lived for most of my life and have seen countless rare jade, but the glass imperial jade has only been seen at international auctions and exhibitions at close range, and it is the first time I have seen a set of jade like this."

The three appraisers next to him also nodded in agreement, they had only met a few times at international auctions, and each time it brought them an incomparable spiritual shock.

At this time, an appraiser said, "It's a pity! ”

The appraiser next to him was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

The appraiser who spoke before said: "This is a glass imperial jade, but haven't you found it?" Its color is a little bit greener, and it would be better if it was emerald green. ”

Because the appearance of the glass imperial jade was too shocking, the other three appraisers did not notice the slightest flaw in the color, and when they saw this, they looked at it carefully, and they all shook their heads and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's because of this little flaw, the price will drop by at least half." ”

Lu Yu's heart tugged, and at the same time, he was a little relieved, after all, the best jade is too rare.

Manager Fan was also anxious now, and his heart also pinched and said, "So what is the valuation of this set of jade?" ”

"Sixty million to eighty million, but maybe it's a little higher, after all, it's hard to find such jade on the market now," said one appraiser.

The appraiser next to him also chimed in: "The price of jade has been increasing over the years, especially when there are fewer and fewer high-quality jade, and no one knows what price can be auctioned." ”

Lu Yu didn't have any research on this, just looked up the information on the Internet, and began to think that this set of jade could be auctioned for more than 100 million, but now it seems that it would be good to be auctioned for 80 million.

When Lu Yu was suffering from gains and losses, an appraiser said: "It's a pity that these two lots are placed in Jinling, if they can be auctioned in Hong Kong City, the price may be increased by 20%." ”

Manager Fan said with a happy face: "Mr. Lu, our Guardian Auction House has the last auction in Hong Kong City this month, why don't we send it to Hong Kong City for auction, do you think it's okay?" ”

"This?"

Lu Yu is a little difficult, it is a fool not to make money, but he needs skill points more now, if he can't catch up with the time, won't he fail in the scientific examination.

"Can you tell me the exact time?"

"On the 30th of this month, if Mr. Lu wants to go to Hong Kong City to participate in the auction, we can also help Mr. Lu arrange the procedures here."

Lu Yu thought about it, as if it was too late in time, and nodded: "Okay, I don't want to go to Hong Kong City if I have other things, help me get a credit card in Hong Kong City, and just deposit the money in the card." ”

Soon Manager Fan prepared the contract, Lu Yu did not find a problem after reading it, signed his name on it, handed over the ginseng and jade to the auction house for safekeeping, and there was surveillance video of the whole process, and he was not afraid of someone doing tricks in the middle.

During this period, several appraisers wanted to ask Lu Yu if there were any other commodities in his hand, but they were all fooled by Lu Yu without a trace, in fact, they were not inquiring about Lu Yu's privacy, but felt that Lu Yu could take out two good things, and they should still have them in their hands, and they wanted to pull a little more business for the auction, after all, who doesn't want to make such a good money.

Although Lu Yu left the auction house, the matter did not end here, not to mention that the things had to be sent to the port city, and the appraisal had to be carried out again when they arrived in the port city, and if it was not suitable, it might not be able to be auctioned.
