Chapter 93: Summer auction

The box prepared by Nanling Auction Company Xing Aofeng was not only large enough, but also fully equipped. Li Jiahua, who came to the auction room for the first time, wandered around in the box curiously, not even letting go of the bathroom in the box.
Ming Wuxiang sat on the chair and rolled his eyes silently watching Li Jiahua running around like a hamster.
Fortunately, Li Jiahua was purely curious. He turned around after seeing it. He sat up straight on the chair and took a bite of the fruit on the coffee table.
"The box at Nanling Auction House is pretty good." Li Jiahua said to others while eating fruit.
Compared with Li Jiahua running around like a hamster, Xiaobai and Wan Lirui are much more restrained.
After entering the box, we sat aside with Dong Zhiming. Wan Qirui originally wanted to sit next to the senior Ming Wuxiang, but it was rare to encounter a senior with unfathomable strength and such a gentle attitude outside. Wan Qirui also wanted to ask him some questions about his practice. .
However, every time he looked at Senior Ming, before he had time to say something, the sight of the young man next to Senior Ming swept over. Although Gu Tang only glanced at Wan Lingrui indifferently, his look still frightened Wan Lingrui's child.
Obviously everyone doesn't seem to be much different in age! However, as long as Wan Tianrui met Gu Tang's gaze, there would always be a feeling of being watched by natural enemies in his heart.
Wan Lirui, who couldn't get close, could only sneak a glance at him from time to time, and then stay by Xiaobai obediently.
Sitting on the chair, Li Jiahua couldn't stop his mouth even if there was fruit, and approached Gu Tang with his head sideways. He raised his hand and gently patted Gu Tang's arm. Seeing Gu Tang looking down in confusion, Ming Wuxiang chuckled softly, "Don't scare the kid anymore."
Although Ming Wuxiang did not continue to release his divine consciousness, Wan Lirui's excited eyes and Gu Tangna's warning sight could not be noticed by Ming Wuxiang.
Regarding Gu Tang’s petty behavior, Ming Wuxiang was a little bit dumbfounded. Before Gu Tang could deny it, Ming Wuxiang continued: "I still need him to find out something. You scared him away. Find another one that is easy to deceive. The little rookie is too difficult."
Ahem, poor Wan Lirui, who regarded Ming Wu as a senior expert, didn't know that in Ming Wuxiang's eyes, he was actually a little rookie who was easily deceived.
Although it is true...
Hearing Ming Wuxiang's words, Gu Tang was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing Ming Wuxiang's next words, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What do you want to find out about him."
"About the cultivation world." Ming Wuxiang didn't sell it, and at the same time this answer made Gu Tang pause.
Gu Tang really couldn't help Ming Wuxiang with matters in the cultivation world. Don't look at Gu Tang as the top wealthy Gu family and the young master of the Tang family, but the boundary between the cultivation world and the mortal world is very clear.
Even the Jiang family is only practicing martial arts, not a monk.
I don't know if Gu Tang listened to Ming Wuxiang's persuasion, at least he stopped looking at him with the trembling eyes that made Wan Lirui this little rookie tremble.
Gu Tang's eyes were gone, but the auction had just begun. Even if Wan Lirui wanted to ask Ming Wuxiang for advice, he could only wait to talk about it.
For this summer auction, Nanling Auction House has prepared a catalogue of merchandise, but only a part of it, and those precious ones only release news.
The box is directly in front of the auction stand facing the auction venue, and the window is a single-sided glass that can be opened. If guests do not want others to know their identity, they can close the window. There is a starter in the box, as long as the customer enters the amount into the starter, the price can be bid.
Ming Wuxiang and they don't care whether their identity will be exposed, not to mention that Xing Aofeng, who loves to be present, is there, so that people will know that this box is sitting in the Xing family's six young masters who are indifferent.
It is said that Xing Aofeng is attracting attention in front, Gu Tang, a higher-status young master, as long as he doesn't jump out, it seems that everyone will notice Xing Aofeng.
Ming Wuxiang had not seen the merchandise catalogue of the summer auction before. He took the catalogue from Li Jiahua and turned the catalogue page by page.
I didn't see the real object. Just looking at the color pictures on the album, Ming Wuxiang didn't know if the auction item was what he needed.
But the appearance can still be seen from the atlas. For example, Ming Wuxiang wanted to try this time and see if he could find an alchemy furnace at the auction.
Ming Wuxiang feels that his luck today should be good, but he didn't see that he found a whole set of Great Five Emperors' coins with aura in the pile of crafts copper coins in Wenhua Street.
Monk, sometimes there is indeed a mysterious and mysterious feeling, and it is vaguely sensed that he can get the alchemy furnace he wants today.
Ming Wuxiang lowered his head and flipped through the album intently, while Gu Tang looked at him. Ming Wuxiang saw any special auction items in the album, and he would whisper to Gu Tang.
As for Li Jiahua, who was sitting in front of them, fortunately, they were attracted by the various auction items on the auction stage downstairs. Otherwise, they would definitely tease them if they didn't see the way Ming Wuxiang and Gu Tang get along.
And Xing Aofeng, who noticed the sour and ambiguous atmosphere of Ming Wuxiang and Gu Tang, was not stupid. How could he dare to pat Gu Tang on the of the spanking tiger at such a time.
Don't pay attention to Tang's usual gentleman appearance, it's dark inside.
Ming Wuxiang was almost halfway through the atlas, and finally saw a suspected product that could be assigned to the alchemy furnace.
In the picture book is a three-legged incense burner. The size is not too big. It is 23 cm high and 15 cm wide. On the stove cover is a hollow branch pattern, with a bird-shaped sculpture on the top.
When Ming Wuxiang saw the incense burner in the album, his eyes finally had different colors, and he looked down at the introduction about the incense burner written in the album.
The introduction on the album is very concise. It only talks about the size of the incense burner and its composition. It is a mineral close to iron. At the same time, it has been scientifically checked that this mineral has a very high density. One hundred and twenty-one kilograms.
As for the time when the incense burner was made, it was determined by the appraisers of the auction house, and it was also determined by scientific methods, at least three thousand years ago before the Zhou Dynasty.
As for the various boasts of the appraiser below about this incense burner, Ming Wuxiang didn't bother to look at it. He looked at the next year and the material, raised his index finger and rubbed his chin.
"If there is no error in the above, this incense burner will move slightly." On the product page, in addition to the introduction of the product, there are also starting prices and quotations.
Ming Wuxiang discovered that this incense burner does not look old, but the price is not expensive, starting at 3 million. But not surprisingly, fewer people like to collect this kind of incense burner.
Nowadays, most collectors like calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and incense burners. If it weren’t for the age of this incense burner, and the material was special, and those appraisers had identified this incense burner as a Western Zhou royal product, the collection value would be lower.
Gu Tang, who was next to Ming Wuxiang, clearly heard Ming Wuxiang's self-talk, and finally turned his attention from Ming Wuxiang to the picture album in his hand.
"incense burner?"
"Yes." Ming Wuxiang was still thinking that there shouldn't be too many people robbing himself of this incense burner, when he heard Gu Tang's questioning voice, nodded.
As for why Ming Wuxiang would be interested in an incense burner, he did not open an explanation, and Gu Tang did not need to ask.
In front of the guests with relish watching the surrounding guests are constantly quoted higher prices to compete for a Song Dynasty porcelain.
It is said that a plate used to hold steamed sea bass in Li Jiahua's eyes was too small for its porcelain plate, and it was finally sold at a high price of 15.7 million.
Li Jiahua, the rookie who came to the auction for the first time, was really shocked.
"A porcelain plate actually sold for 15.7 million?!"
"Hahaha, this price is not expensive." Hearing Li Jiahua's surprise at the price, Xing Aofeng couldn't help but smile. Seeing that he caught everyone's attention, he said with a smile.
"Last two years at the Falcon Country Citi Auction, a Song Dynasty white-glazed Pisces plate similar to the one just now sold for 19.2 million Falcon coins."
The exchange rate between Falcon coins and Yanhuang coins is one to four. The exchange rate has just been calculated, not to mention Li Jiahua, even Yixing and the others have their eyes widened.
"That porcelain plate was actually sold at a high price of nearly 80 million Yanhuang coins? This price is also terrible."
As soon as this price came out, even Ming Wuxiang who was sitting at the back couldn't help but look, or did foreigners really have money?
"Speaking of foreigners, they appreciate the porcelain of our Yanhuang country?" It's no wonder Li Jiahua has such doubts. It would be okay if a native of the country took the porcelain, but the bid was a foreigner.
"Who knows about them." At that auction, the porcelain plate was the highest-priced auction item in the entire auction. As for the one who took it, the identity is not simple.
Thinking of this, Xing Aofeng raised his head and glanced at Gu Tang who was sitting next to Ming Wuxiang.
Perceiving the strangeness in their eyes, they turned their heads and asked Gu Tang in a low voice, "What's wrong? There is a problem with the porcelain plate?"
This time Gu Tang did not give an answer immediately, but hesitated for a while before shook his head, "I don't know."
If it had not been kidnapped, Gu Tang would only doubt if the person who took the porcelain plate wanted to use the sky-high price of porcelain to open up certain relationships in Yanhuang Kingdom.
However, after knowing that there are still some existences in this world that cannot be explained by science, Gu Tang then realized with hindsight that the porcelain plate was absolutely extraordinary.
"What do you mean by not knowing?" Gu Tang's answer made Ming Wuxiang more curious, especially when Gu Tang hesitated just now, Ming Wuxiang didn't see it.
This time Gu Tang didn't sell it, and directly replied, "The porcelain plate was inspected by instruments and contained a special ingredient that has not been found so far, but most people think this news is a gimmick released by the auction house.
This undiscovered ingredient does not make people suspect that it is a gimmick. After so many years of development in science and technology, things on the earth can be said to be inaccessible by instruments, which have not been studied by scientists.
Now there is such a special ingredient that has not been discovered. If it is not fake, or is this porcelain plate from an alien?
I don’t know if it was made by aliens, but what if the porcelain plate was made by a monk? It really can't be checked by scientific means.
For example, the bone-forging pill refined before Ming Wuxiang, no matter how the warriors use instruments to analyze them, they can't analyze the composition.
Ming Wuxiang understood Gu Tang's suspicion after listening to his explanation. It's just that the porcelain plate is not in front of you, even if Ming Wuxiang wants to see if it is really made by a monk.
Others may take the news released by the auction house as a joke, but the person who took the porcelain plate at such a high price must know what to order.
"Do you know that you took the porcelain plate?"
Gu Tang nodded, "It's the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Xideng family."
When I heard that it was the Xideng family, there was a trace of contemplation.
The Xideng family, even Ming Wuxiang, who didn't pay much attention to foreign news back then, knew what kind of family it was.
The Xideng family is like the four big families of Gu, Tang, Jiangxing, Yanhuang Kingdom. It can be said that Europa has the longest heritage. This family has had several queens, and now the King of Geely is far from the current head of the Xideng family. Cousin.
As long as they knew the existence of the cultivation world, they would definitely not think that the young master of the Xideng family spent almost 20 million yuan on a porcelain plate from Yanhuang Country to buy it home and put it in a good-looking way.
