Chapter 169: Spirit Stone
Finally, it was the turn of the finale, the penultimate auction item. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past, the script was written in a long scroll and rolled up with a scroll, and the last play was called the big shaft because it was next to the wooden shaft, and the penultimate track was called the finale.
Today's people think that the finale should be the last show, the most exciting, and the heaviest, but this is not the case. Although the last program has attracted a lot of attention, it belongs to the end track, and the cadenza chapter is precisely the previous one.
Especially the ancients loved happy endings, and if you think about it with your toes, you will know that it must be a full moon in the end. And the most intense and gripping tracks of the conflict are precisely at the front.
Therefore, the Charity Federation put the most important treasures in the penultimate place of the auction.
The large screen reveals a round Ambilight jar with a guati-like lid on it, like a small pumpkin carved out of crystal.
"This cup is about the size of an adult's fist and is carved out of a single full diamond. ”
White-gloved Liao Ming pointed to the screen and clenched his fists.
Rumble......
There was an exclamation from below, and there was a lot of discussion.
After nearly three hours of intense auctions, there were no first-class auctions, and many works were at an astonishing premium. Although the gold medal auctioneer Liao Ming was almost tired of becoming a dog, he was still very satisfied with the result and his mood was much more relaxed. Seeing that he had entered the final battle, he deliberately slowed down the pace and spared no effort to fuel the flames in order to achieve perfection.
"Hahaha, don't get excited, everyone. If a natural diamond is so large and pure, the price is at least one billion or more. But isn't it strange that the auction price is only 100 million? In the spirit of fair trade, I must tell you that this is a man-made diamond, and you can buy it for 10,000 yuan...... Ah, don't believe it, you can suck it up with a strong magnet when you shoot it back. Because of the residual metal crystallization inside man-made diamonds, we have done experiments.
"How dare you mark a reserve price of 100 million yuan for a cheap thing of 10,000 yuan? Because it's just a box, and the thing is hidden inside, only the size of a thumb's fingernail. You can't see it, are you, you're worried about taking a picture of an empty box? According to a senior person at the Charity Federation, at first, the outline of this thing inside could still be seen vaguely, but then the refractive index gradually became consistent with that of man-made diamonds, and it hid itself as if it had life, so it was invisible from the outside. It's the same thing that if you put a piece of glass in the water, you won't be able to see it. I don't count, Fang Tianming, chairman of the Charity Federation, is here, please prove it for everyone. ”
The middle-aged man No. 001, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, stood up and turned around, and after saying "Indeed", he bowed deeply to all the guests, and the scene responded with warm applause.
After the chairman sat down, Liao Ming continued:
"The auction brochure says it's a 'precious rough stone', but what kind of rough is it? To be honest, I don't know...... Be quiet, please be quiet, it's really not a sale. Don't say I don't know, and no less than three of the world's top appraisers don't know. So why shoot 100 million? There's a story here......
"Thirty years ago, a terminally ill elderly man was taken in at a shelter under the Charity Federation. Despite the meticulous care of volunteers and caregivers, the elderly's body is failing day by day. Before he died, he donated this thing, leaving a very strange last word, saying that such treasures are almost extinct on the earth, and at least 10 million will be photographed. But what exactly is it and what it is for, the old man did not tell, only told him that things should not be displayed before the auction, otherwise it will bring disaster.
"Thirty years ago, the Earth Federation had not yet been formed, and society was in a period of economic decline. At that time, 10 million was at least billions now, and not many people could take it out. Therefore, this treasure has been treasured by the Charity Federation, during which it has only been appraised by the world's top jewelers three times. It is a great honor that our Sotheby's master confirmer, Mr. Zhang Mantang, was the last person to see it, three months ago.
"After 30 years, three of the world's top appraisers have given the same review, priceless! Like us, they don't know what this thing is. Due to industry rules, they are not allowed to disclose the details of the identification. But I can tell you a miraculous thing, everyone seems to be ten years younger after the examination, and they have been cured of their old addictions. It would be a bit of an outrageous if I said that this is a treasure that will keep people alive. But I am responsible to tell you that this is definitely a magical treasure, only for those who know the goods, only for those who are destined.
"All of the above I have said is guaranteed by the Bank's reputation and has legal effect. However, unlike other jewelry and antiques, once the physical item has been delivered, it cannot be returned for any reason...... Ah, this gentleman said what should I do if I find it worthless? Haha, cold salad. You won't lose money if you don't bid...... Please think carefully and start bidding in five minutes. The reserve price is 100 million, and each time you raise a card, 10 million ......"
White-gloved Liao Ming walked off the stage, wiped his sweat and drank water to the bathroom.
He needs to be at his best for a piece that is sure to shock the collecting world and make a name for himself, potentially fetching billions of dollars.
How could the organizing committee not be prepared in advance for such a heavy weapon. Before the auction, there is no contact with the real thing, only for the ordinary guests in the hall, and several bigwigs worth tens of billions have already quietly seen it up close and felt its magic. For these old people who are at the pinnacle of wealth, money and beauty are meaningless, only health is the most precious, and only time cannot be recovered.
Therefore, Liao Ming is not worried that the harsh rules will cause the auction to fail.
Man Jianghong listened to the chatter of the auctioneer while staring at the big screen with all his eyes. By carefully distinguishing the blurred light and shadow in the crystal light, he saw that it was actually a spirit stone inside, and the horror was beyond words.
It is no wonder that the physical condition of the three appraisers has improved a lot. The moon is poopy, can it be bad to suck such a pure aura?
It's no wonder that once it's auctioned, it won't be returned. This is a consumable, can you take advantage of it and sell it?
But Reiki can only delay aging, not eternal youth.
Otherwise, the old man who donated the spirit stone would not have died, otherwise the first generation of Grandmaster Long Tian would not have refined himself into a "heavenly corpse" to fight against the end times, otherwise the first hero of the Daomen in eight hundred years, Zhou Lu, would not have made an expedition to Kunlun to pursue ascension.
For the average person, Reiki simply promotes bodily functions. For martial arts and cultivation, it is like carrying a cave heaven blessed land with you, and the cultivation speed is many times faster than others.
Besides, cultivators have to use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to cast spells, and if they carry this treasure in their arms during the fight, it will be like hiding a huge ammunition depot, Yin You didn't negotiate.
Brother Xiao Man roughly estimated that the amount of spiritual energy contained in this fingernail-sized spirit stone was equivalent to thousands of pebbles brought out of the Purple Mansion, and equivalent to half a spiritual cord on his waist.
This thing is really priceless, and it depends on who owns it.
I don't know how the secrecy of the cruise auction is, but it's hard to get the news out.
Auctioning spirit stones is like lighting a cigarette with a fuse, not afraid of blowing yourself up into the sky; just like a group of little white rabbits having a party in the forest, not afraid of attracting big bad wolves to eat.
Damn, they make a lot of fanfare, and there is no secrecy at all. I'm afraid I really don't know, and if I know, I'll be scared to pee.
The moon is pooping, there shouldn't be a powerful cultivator today, right?
Don't let the fire at the city gate affect the pond fish, which affects the auction of the master's "relics".
