Guo Quan didn't stay long. After a few words with Lin Yang, he said goodbye and left.
Although he wanted to ask Lin Yang for some knowledge about phase stones right away, he finally retained some sense in his mind and knew that this place was not suitable for academic research.
What's more, his employer Zeng Fan has already left, so he can't stay here any longer.
After Guo Quan left, Lin Yang's ears finally calmed down. He took a mineral water bottle and sipped it while looking at Xi Mengyao on the auction stage with interest.
At this moment, the bid for that piece of top-grade jadeite has soared to 37 million.
However, Xi Mengyao and Uncle Wang did not intend to sell.
Because they know that if this top-quality jadeite is carefully crafted by the masters in their Baishi Hall, its value will be higher than it is now. If this is the case, then why sell it now? More
What's more, keeping this top-quality jadeite in Baishitang can also bring some publicity effects to Baishitang. Let Baishitang's reputation spread throughout the antique and jade world in the future.
Carefully holding the top quality jadeite, Xi Mengyao winked at Uncle Wang. After all, Uncle Wang is the person in charge of Baishi Hall in Jinguan City. Although she is the daughter of Xi Yuanming, the head of the Xi family, she is not qualified to be the person in charge.
Seeing Xi Mengyao's eyes, Uncle Wang understood. He took two steps forward, bowed his hands to the crowd of bidders, and said with a smile: "Experts, please listen to me. We at Baishi Hall do not intend to use this piece of jade for the time being.
For sale. As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it cannot be used. After we return, we will mobilize the best masters to carve it and make it into a masterpiece of art that can be passed down from generation to generation. Of course, if you are interested in it,
, our Baishitang welcomes you to visit.”
Seeing that Baishitang was unwilling to sell this top-quality jade now, everyone present was a little disappointed. However, there were also some collectors of antique jade and couldn't help asking: "I don't know, after this piece of jade is carved into a piece of jade, what can Baishitang do?"
Are you willing to part with it?"
Uncle Wang smiled and replied: "We at Baishitang are open for business. As long as the price is right, of course there is no problem."
This answer made many antique jade collectors very excited. They all secretly decided that after Baishitang carved this top-quality jadeite into a device, they must go and have a look. If possible, they would take it down and use it as a piece of jadeite.
Collect heirlooms
After Uncle Wang asked the organizer to send security personnel to deliver this top-quality jadeite to Baishi Hall, the chaos finally subsided. However, when people returned to their seats, they still couldn't help but discuss what had just happened.
After all, Xi Mengyao spent a mere 80,000 yuan on that piece of top-grade jade worth tens of millions.
In addition to envy and jealousy, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Lin Yang.
Is this young man really an extraordinary talent?
Such an idea came to many people's minds. They began to want to get to know Lin Yang. After all, a master of Xiangshi with real skills can not only avoid losses for those who like to gamble on stones, but also can ⊥
Their money doubled like crazy
Isn’t the experience of Zeng Fan and Xi Mengyao the most intuitive proof?
After a break of half an hour, the auction continued.
Affected by Xi Mengyao's gambling of 80,000 yuan for a piece of top-quality jade, people's hearts were also aroused, and the next auction returned to the same enthusiastic scene as before. Perhaps the happiest thing about this is this
The organizer of the auction.
But Lin Yang's mood was not very good.
Because, the auction has been going on for most of the time, but he still hasn't seen an item that has spiritual energy and can be made into a magic weapon.
Gradually, the auction entered its final stage.
At this moment, most of the high-value items have been auctioned, and most of people's interest has been wiped out. Therefore, the end of the auction has become garbage time. And the items being auctioned at this moment are all of low value.
What a tall little toy.
"The next thing we are going to auction is a jade cicada."
When the auctioneer Dong Cheng opened a box and revealed the jade cicada placed inside, Lin Yang's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
The jade cicada in the box is white with a slight yellowish tint, and the quality of the jade is not very good. There are also dark red lines on the jade cicada's body. It looks like it is stained with blood.
“This auction was not in vain after all.”
Lin Yang became interested in this jade cicada because he felt an energy from it.
This energy is not spiritual energy, but negative energy mixed with ghost energy, death energy and resentment.
For ordinary cultivators, this jade cicada exuding negative energy is not only useless, but will also affect cultivation. But for soul cultivators, this jade cicada is just like an object with spiritual energy.
It is an excellent material for making magical instruments
"I must buy this jade cicada," Lin Yang said to himself in his heart.
On the auction stage, Dong Cheng introduced the situation of this jade cicada: "This jade cicada is a product of the mid-Qing Dynasty. However, the dark red corpse Qin on its body is not naturally formed. It is faked using special techniques.
Come out. Everyone present is an expert. Even if I don’t need to say it, I believe you can see it..."
While Dong Cheng was introducing the situation of Yu Chan non-stop, Lin Yang curiously asked Xi Mengyao: "Why, can the corpse Qin on Yu Chan be faked?"
Jade cicadas were stuffed into the mouths of the dead in ancient times.
It is said that stuffing the jade cicada into the mouth of the deceased can keep the breath of the deceased inside the corpse, thus achieving the effect of preventing the corpse from decaying and preventing silverfish from invading. If the jade cicada is in the mouth of the corpse over time, it will inhale the corpse breath and become
Some dark red streaks appear on the surface
These blood-like things are the so-called corpse qin.
Unlike Lin Yang, a cheating guy, Xi Mengyao has real skills in the antique jade industry.
At this moment, when she heard Lin Yang's question, she couldn't help but smile and said to herself: "Although Master has shocking attainments in the field of phase stones, he is still not very good at jade, especially in terms of counterfeiting and distressing jade.
Understand. That’s right. How can a person understand every line of business thoroughly? Then he is not a human being, but a monster."
Xi Mengyao did not make Lin Yang wait any longer, and quickly explained to him the method of counterfeiting Shiqin: "Although Shiqin is a mysterious thing, it is not difficult to fake it. After imitating the old jade, put it
Calculate the jade over a strong fire. When the whole piece of jade is boiling hot, feed it into the belly of a living cat, and then put the living cat into the soil, so that the living cat will die of abdominal pain and suffocation.
.A year later, the corpse of the live cat will be dug out. By that time, corpse Qin will appear on the fake jade. It is said that jade artifacts forged with corpse Qin in this way are very evil. Ordinary people carry
You will inevitably encounter various misfortunes around you. Therefore, among knowledgeable people, few people are willing to buy this kind of jade for fun."
"So that's it. This method of counterfeiting is really a bit cruel." Lin Yang nodded. While sighing that the method of counterfeiting was all kinds of weird, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Cats are such creatures, they are inherently capable of...
Spiritual energy is also a creature that easily attracts evil. To torture it to death with this cruel method is to prevent it from feeling resentment. In this way, strong resentment, death energy and ghosts will naturally be left on the jade.
With these negative energies in Qi, ordinary people will definitely be affected, ranging from being in a trance to being seriously ill...
While Lin Yang and Xi Mengyao were discussing in low voices, the auction of this jade cicada also kicked off.
"This jade cicada from the mid-Qing Dynasty has a base price of 10,000 yuan. Those who are interested can bid now."
Because the corpse Qin on this jade cicada was not formed naturally, but was artificially forged. In addition, it was not very young, so there were not many people participating in the bidding, only three or four. The price given,
They are all close to the base price and do not exceed the base price by much.
"I'll pay 50,000." Lin Yang raised the bidding sign in his hand at this time and gave a price that far exceeded the reserve price. It also raised the price that had just risen to 15,000, a lot higher in an instant.
Fifty thousand yuan to buy a jade cicada from the mid-Qing Dynasty?
If the corpse Qin on the jade cicada was formed naturally, the price would still be right. However, the auctioneer has made it very clear that the corpse Qin on the jade cicada is artificially forged, yet there are still people willing to pay 50,000 yuan for it.
The price of...
Does this bidder know nothing about the business, or does he have too much money and no place to spend it, and is he wasting money indiscriminately?
People turned their heads one after another, wanting to see who was bidding.
When they saw clearly that the bidder was Lin Yang, they couldn't help but hesitate.
The reason is very simple. Just now, Lin Yang helped Baishi Tangxiang find a stone containing the best jadeite. Such a person must not be ignorant, so why did he spend 50,000 yuan to buy this jade cicada?
what?
"Could it be that this jade cicada is actually not simple, but a good treasure?"
Everyone guessed.
But what do they think? The jade cicada is just an ordinary thing. It doesn’t look like a good treasure.
In addition to doubts, another guess emerged in everyone's mind: "Or maybe this master of Xiangshi just likes to collect jade cicadas?"
In the antique and jade collection world, there are many people with various hobbies. Some people even have very weird hobbies. Therefore, the speculation that Lin Yang likes to collect jade cicadas not only does not make these people feel strange, but also feels that
It should be so.
A person who participated in the bidding immediately made a decision, stood up and bowed his hand to Lin Yang, saying: "Sir, a gentleman does not take what others like. Since you like this jade cicada, I will withdraw from the competition. In addition, I will withdraw from the competition."
, I also have several jade cicadas in my home. If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to my home, and we can have a good time drinking and enjoying antiques and jades together."
This man is so calculating, he actually wants to get involved with Lin Yang through this matter.
Several other people who also participated in the bidding also followed suit.
In their opinion, it is obviously irrational to offend a master of Xiangshi for a jade cicada from the middle Qing Dynasty. And if they can leave a good impression in Lin Yang's heart through this incident, that would be the best.
.
Seeing that everyone had withdrawn from the competition, Dong Cheng didn't waste any more time and sounded the auction gavel.
This jade cicada, which was not worth mentioning in the eyes of everyone but was a treasure in the eyes of soul cultivators, was acquired by Lin Yang at a low price of only fifty thousand yuan.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lin Yang spent money in vain.
But in the eyes of truly knowledgeable cultivators, Lin Yang's deal couldn't be more cost-effective.
