Chapter 108 This Pixiu doesn't feel right

  In the largest and most luxurious room of the hotel, several people sat down one after another.

  Liu Gang and his wife were also there. The old couple seemed a bit out of place, but Ouyang Xuan chatted with them to distract their attention and make them feel at ease, so they wouldn't feel tense or uncomfortable.

  This is a place where Ouyang Huan often goes, very naturally, unlike the old couple who are entering such a luxurious restaurant for the first time.

  The dishes were served quickly, and although there weren't many options, they looked exquisite. The big boss was here, so whether it was the chef or the manager, everyone was going all out to serve him well, afraid of not doing a good job. This is also a kind of privilege.

  After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, everyone chatted with great enthusiasm, the atmosphere improved a lot, no one mentioned what happened in the morning, nor did they want to mention it, so as not to spoil the elegance of the meal.

  Liu Gang and his wife had a big appetite today and ate a lot of food.

  They have really improved their bodies, no matter what changes they made, they genuinely got better, which is something to be happy about, something to rejoice in. When people encounter good things, their spirits lift and their mood improves, naturally their appetite also gets better.

  Secondly, the food here is really delicious, all made by famous chefs, and of course, you will eat more when the food is good.

  "Mr. Liu, I don't know if you have time the day after tomorrow?" Just chatting, Huatian suddenly asked a sentence.

  "The day after tomorrow?"

  Liu Yi Yang asked in a low voice, just now we were talking about some ancient furniture, Hua Tian is very interested in antiques, actually rich people are also interested in antiques nowadays, it's also a kind of investment, and can play the role of elegant accompaniment.

  Unlike others, Huatian genuinely likes it, but he only loves classical furniture and dislikes other things. The ones he collects are also all kinds of antique furniture. His home has a special collection exhibition room, which is full of various ancient furniture, many of which are fine pieces worth a lot of money.

  Liu Yi Yang didn't know why suddenly Hua Tian asked him if he had time.

  "The day after tomorrow, there is an auction in Xuzhou that will last for four days. The third day is specifically for antique furniture. Given Mr. Liu's extensive knowledge, if he has time, we can go take a look together then."

  Hu Tian smiled and nodded, this auction had already sent him an invitation letter, people like him were the focus of the auction company's customers.

  "Auction?"

  Liu Yi Yang was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled wryly. He had just said a lot about the common sense of ancient furniture, some of which were very accurate, even comparable to the level of an expert, but all of these were purely based on his usual reading and maintenance of antiques.

  As for collecting, he hasn't even thought about it now. He doesn't have the financial resources and wouldn't think of attending any auctions.

  "Hua Dong, you said it's an antique furniture auction, do they have a catalog?"

  Liu Yi Yang was about to refuse when Ouyang Xuan suddenly asked a question, and Hua Tian also hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Yes, yes, they sent them to me, I'll have someone bring them over for you to see."

  Hua Tian called his secretary in and asked him to go get the auction catalog. The catalog was in the office, so it would take a while.

  When getting the photo album, everyone else started talking about something else. Liu Yiyang found that Hua Tian was particularly talkative and knowledgeable, no matter what they talked about, he understood some of it, even when his parents mentioned decoration, he gave a lot of valuable opinions.

  Time flies when chatting, and lunch is also over.

  Although he didn't drink much wine, he had a great time. Liao, the principal who accompanied them to dinner, thoroughly became an accompaniment at the wine table, but he had no opinion and was surprisingly surprised by Hua Tian's attitude towards Liu Yi Yang.

  It seems that Liu Yi Yang and his family don't look like they are particularly wealthy. Especially Liu Yi Yang and his parents, their clothes are very ordinary. Liu Yi Yang is a university student, while his parents are both laid-off workers.

  Even now, they have just rented a facade and haven't started doing business yet, and it's not even a big business.

  Among the four of them, Ouyang Xun looked a bit different, beautiful, elegant and with a temperament, even he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw her.

  Ouyang Xuan is different, but Hua Tian's attitude towards her seems not as good as Liu Yi Yang's. He really can't figure out why this young college student has made Hua Tian take a second look and intentionally befriend her, even going so far as to shut down an entire company for it.

  Director Liao thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he just gave up. Anyway, as far as he was concerned, the better Huatian treated someone, the more he would do for them, which wouldn't offend anyone and would also allow him to gain favor with Huatian.

  After lunch, several people went to the rest room, where Hua Tian personally brewed tea.

  His tea is very good, the craftsmanship of brewing tea is even higher, and soon everyone was attracted by the fragrance of the tea. Even He Aihua, who didn't understand tea, said that this tea smells very good and tastes great.

  "Xiao Xuan, what's with the auction? Are you thinking of bidding on some antiques?" Liu Yi Yang asked in a low voice while Hua Tian and his parents were chatting about tea art.

  "I want antiques, but I don't understand"

  Ouyang Xuan gave Liu Yi Yang a white eye and continued: "I'm interested in the auction, but I didn't say I'd definitely go. I want to take a look at their catalog, understand what's being auctioned this time, my goal is some ancient wooden materials."

  "What's with the wooden material?" Liu Yi Yang asked.

  Ouyang Xun nodded and said: "Right, some old wooden materials can be made into ritual instruments. For example, peach wood, the longer it takes, the higher the level of the ritual instrument. It is said that thousand-year-old peach wood can be made into a divine instrument, unfortunately, our Bagua Gate does not have one."

  "Persimmon wood sword?"

  When Ou Yang Wan mentioned peach wood, Liu Yi Yang instinctively thought of the Peach Wood Sword. The Peach Wood Sword was a favorite weapon of the Tian Shi Men in TV shows. Yesterday, that Liu Chu Zhang was holding a Peach Wood Sword.

  "It's not just the peach wood sword, there are also willow wood, sandalwood, black iron wood and so on, all of which are top-notch materials for making ritual instruments. My black wood sword is made from 800-year-old ebony, unfortunately it's not a thousand years old, or else it would be a divine artifact."

  Ouyang Xun explained in a low voice, while Liu Yiyang showed a sudden realization. Among the Twelve Dissolutions of the Mystic Gate, there were descriptions of magical instruments, but no mention was made of their original materials, only the functions of various magical instruments.

  Ouyang Huan lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "In addition to these, some bronze statues and stone statues will also be paid attention to. Some of the statues were made into ritual objects by opening the light in the past, but they were unexpectedly lost and passed down to today through the refinement of time, and they all became high-grade ritual objects, even reaching the level of quasi-immortal objects. If you encounter good ones, they can play a significant role. Grandfather had once competed for an immortal object at an auction."

  "So that's how it is, no wonder you asked"

  Liu Yi Yang finally understood. After Ou Yang Xian said that, he also became somewhat interested in the auction. Until now, he didn't have a single decent weapon on hand.

  "It would be great if I could encounter a magical artifact or a divine instrument at an auction."

  Liu Yi Yang said in a low voice, and Ou Yang Huan chuckled and shook her head: "You really dare to think that you'll be so lucky, that you can easily get a magic weapon or a sacred artifact? Things that can become magic weapons are rare, and you need to be lucky. Even if you do encounter one, you may not necessarily recognize it. Those ancient magic weapons have been unused for too long, their spiritual nature has long been hidden, and you can't see them at all. You can only rely on intuition. Magic weapons are already so difficult to find, let alone sacred artifacts."

  Ouyang Xun is not hitting Liu Yi Yang, what he said is indeed true.

  If it's a modern magical tool, no matter what level it is, there will be some spirituality on it. In order not to be discovered by others in the mysterious door, often some disguise is needed.

  For example, Ou Yangyun's Yu Mu sword is disguised as a cane tube, covering the spiritual energy on top, which will only be released when used. Her compass also has a layer of things wrapped around its star symbol paper and paper crane, preventing the spiritual energy from dissipating.

  "You say, all magical tools have spiritual energy?" Liu Yi Yang's heart suddenly moved and he asked in a very low voice.

  "Of course, a Dharma instrument must have spirituality; without spirituality, can it still be called a Dharma instrument?"

  Ouyang Huan nodded, she didn't know that Liu Yiyang's heart was churning at this moment, he suddenly had a very bold guess, but before testing it, he wouldn't say it out loud.

  Two people were chatting, and Huatian's secretary rushed back.

  Huawei Secretary also brought a catalog of the auction, which has pictures of items to be auctioned off this time, but only pictures. To see the actual objects, you must attend the auction.

  The preview is tomorrow and the auction will be the day after tomorrow.

  The catalog is very exquisite, and it's not just ancient furniture, but also some other auction items from this auction.

  Those exquisite flower vases and calligraphy paintings were turned over by Ouyang Xun, she directly opened the introduction to ancient furniture, and carefully looked at it.

  She wasn't looking at the making of these pieces of furniture, mainly she was looking at their materials. The good materials that were years old had an appeal to her, those kinds of things had value and were worth bidding on.

  After looking at the furniture, Ouyang Xun felt a little disappointed. These pieces of furniture were all good, but none of them was what she wanted.

  After flipping through it, Ouyang Huan quickly lost interest and handed the album to Liu Yi Yang.

  She was not interested in antiques, but Liu Yi Yang liked them very much. His job was antique maintenance, and when he got a photo album full of antiques, he couldn't help but take a good look at it.

  Porcelain and bronze wares are all included in the catalog, nothing too outstanding, but there are many valuable treasures, several of which have estimated prices exceeding five million, and it's possible to sell for tens of millions at auction.

  Seeing so many valuable antiques, Liu Yi Yang's eyes were also getting brighter and brighter.

  The word position of the divine mirror requires spiritual energy, and the source of spiritual energy is on antiques. Moreover, it must be high-value antiques. He used to search for antiques in museums, antique cities, and other places to absorb them, but he overlooked another place.

  That's the auction house. The number of antiques in the auction house is far less than that in museums and antique shops, but their value is high. A single auction can fetch hundreds of millions of dollars, sometimes even several billion.

  Even a mosquito is meat after all, let alone an antique worth tens of billions that can be replenished in some way.

  "This Pixiu, I feel like something is a bit off?"

  Liu Yi Yang was staring blankly ahead, suddenly dazed for a moment, his fingers fell on the corner of the album, staring at the small pattern above, slightly dazed.

  His appearance drew Ouyang Huan's attention, and she also looked at the picture album. When she saw the red jade carved into a Pixiu that Liu Yiyang was paying attention to, her eyes suddenly tightened, and she was stunned there.
