C140 What a Shocking Story
C140 What a Shocking Story
The last time such a treasure appeared was four years ago, during the first auction in the Jing Capital.
It could be said that the auction had attracted a lot of attention. All businessmen with high status in the country had participated in it.
In the end, the blue and white porcelain that appeared at the finale was bought by a mysterious buyer at a staggering price of 1.78 billion!
To this day, the identity of the buyer was still a mystery to industry insiders. No one knew who he was.
No one knew who the buyer was. Even if he was an industry insider or an outsider, no one knew.
Tao Jing had just stepped into the collection world not long ago, but she had been influenced by a big shot like Xie Kun. She also knew what Sui Guan was referring to.
When she thought about it, she said in shock, "You said it."
Sui Guan saw what she said and smiled slyly. "Hey, I didn't say anything!"
Next, Tao Jing started to ask Sui Guan crazily.
Unfortunately, Sui Guan kept his mouth shut and ignored her question.
At the same time, the host on the stage also announced that the auction for the bronze cauldron was going to start again.
"The last bid just now was given by Mr. Ai Wen. Is there anyone else who has a better price than this? "
After the host finished speaking, he raised his head and looked around. When he saw that there was no movement from the crowd, he slightly picked up the small wooden hammer in his hand and planned to announce the result.
But at this moment, Sui Guan, who was sitting in the last row, quickly raised his plate and said faintly, "420 million!"
Many people had already expected such a scene.
After all, Sui Guan's action of taking out the White Jade Glass Bottle in the middle of the auction was very clear. He wanted to sell the White Jade Glass Bottle in exchange for a certain amount of capital in order to compete with Ai Wen for the bronze cauldron.
"You seem to be full of confidence now!"
Tao Jing said angrily. Obviously, she was still annoyed by Sui Guan's action of saying half a sentence earlier.
"Ha, I have money in my hands. "Of course I am confident!" Sui Guan nodded his head in satisfaction, showing a manner of being rich and overbearing.
The current him did not care about money anymore.
As long as he was willing, it would not be difficult for him to become the richest man in the world!
After all, there were still sufficient resources in the entire Two Elements Immortal Realm to provide him with sufficient supplies. If he were to empty all the old items in the Immortal Domain one day, He reckoned that no one in this world would dare to compete with him in the Antique World!
Furthermore, if he wanted to make a fortune, he didn't need to rely on antiquess. What was truly valuable was the Immortal Domains and elixirs in the Immortal Domain. Those things were much more valuable than antiquess!
However, Sui Guan's current strength wasn't enough to allow him to plunder resources in Immortal Domain and enrich his wealth in mortal world. That was why he didn't put his attention on those things.
"430 million!"
Ai Wen's expression was a little ugly. His hand that was holding the plate was trembling slightly.
He was angry!
Originally, he was going to buy this bronze cauldron. But he didn't think that there would be an accident on the way!
This Sui Guan was actually so rich!
"440 million!"
Sui Guan was so rich that he didn't even hesitate. He once again raised his plate and instantly crushed Ai Wen's bid.
"450 million!"
At that moment, a person who had stopped fighting once again raised his plate.
Sui Guan looked at Liu Jin's back and smiled faintly. "Heh, interesting! You just don't want to lose to me!"
This brat had clearly given up on the chance to fight for the bronze cauldron, but now, he was actually making a comeback. The other party's intentions were already very obvious. It wasn't because he didn't want to lose to Sui Guan in this round.
After listening to Sui Guan's words, Liu Jin turned his head with a calm expression and glanced at Sui Guan. Then, he revealed a disdainful smile. "Heh. I just don't like some people who get what they want!"
"I'm proud of myself?"
Sui Guan was stunned for a second. This was the first time someone had called him a despicable person.
With this thought in mind, Sui Guan laughed indifferently. He then looked arrogantly at Liu Jin who was not far away and said, "Since Mr. Liu looks down on me so much, I'll be generous. 500 million!"
As soon as the price was raised, the venue immediately quieted down.
Liu Jin and Ai Wen's faces turned green from anger!
This bronze cauldron was definitely worth a lot of money.
However, even if the most famous antique expert were to bid, the market value of this item would definitely not exceed 450 million!
But now, Sui Guan naturally would not care about that much. Anyway, he had nearly one billion capital in his hands, so he should do something to make him happy!
Unlike Sui Guan's high-spirited attitude, Ai Yun and Liu Jin obviously wouldn't do such a thing.
After all, if they really bought this bronze cauldron at a premium price, it would cause a joke in the industry. One must know that they were the people who ran the business of antique shop!
If they could not even understand the true price of an item, it would cause others to laugh at them!
Sui Guan didn't have these concerns anymore. Not only did he not have such concerns, he could also display his strength in front of his peers through this matter of purchasing the item at a premium. To him, this was absolutely beneficial and harmless!
Just like this, under everyone's shocked expressions, Sui Guan finally bought the bronze cauldron at a price of 500 million.
"senior, you are satisfied now!" Sui Guan looked happily at Wen Qin beside him, his expression full of excitement.
Wen Qin heard it and nodded. "Ok, after we leave this place, I will pass the magic on to you!"
"I haven't asked you what you want these two things for. Don't tell me you want them for Huaigu?" Sui Guan asked.
Wen Qin smiled. "Hehe, of course it's not that simple. Don't underestimate these things that have existed for so long. There are different kinds of energy contained in these things, but it requires a special technique to absorb it!"
"There is such a thing?"
Sui Guan's expression was as shocked as it could be.
This was the first time he had heard such shocking news!
There was actually a powerful energy contained in the relic, and this energy could even be absorbed by a Martial artists?
Was this a joke?
Seeing Sui Guan's excited reaction, Wen Qin continued. "I only found out after I descended to the mortal world. In the underground palace, do you know why I piled those treasures together?"
Hearing this, Sui Guan said thoughtfully, "Is it because you absorbed the energy inside?"
"That's right!" Wen Qin nodded. "In fact, I didn't know at the beginning. However, as time passes, my body is now able to absorb the energy from the items uncontrollably.
" Although this energy was only a tiny bit at the beginning, when I tried to store a large amount of things together, this energy became quite considerable. This is the secret why I was able to survive in mortal world for so long! "
Sui Guan said in shock. "senior, you are not joking with me, are you?"
"Why would I joke with you?" Wen Qin stared at Sui Guan speechlessly. "The reason I asked you to buy these two bronze pieces of equipment was to verify whether my deduction was correct or not."
Up until now, Wen Qin still didn't dare to confirm whether his idea was correct or not, so he had to personally test it out before he could verify all of his deductions.
There was no mistake about the fact that the ancient artifact contained energy.
The problem now was whether the ancient object was like Wen Qin's inference. The longer it was aged, the higher the energy it contained.
