Chapter 113 Back View

  Ouyang Xuan explained for a while, and Liu Yi Yang finally understood what she meant.

  Spirit is not exclusive to antiques, magical instruments and immortal artifacts also contain a large amount of spirit, and even more than antiques. Antiques are just naturally accumulated, while magical instruments and immortal artifacts can form themselves.

  It can also be said that among the law instruments and immortal instruments, there is a large amount of spiritual energy contained within them, far more than ordinary antiques.

  This is also why a few pieces of concentrated spiritual energy made Liu Yi Yang feel like he had absorbed more spiritual energy than when he was in the two museums.

  Ouyang Xun speculated that the spiritual energy needed to supplement the divine artifact should come from these magical artifacts and immortal artifacts, with the most contained in the immortal artifacts. That's why the Qiong Qi Yu sculpture would emit such a thick fog of spiritual energy. Also, the root that appeared on Ouyang Xun's body, which was as thick as an index finger, should be the Blood-colored Phoenix Feather releasing it.

  If Liu Yi Yang had obtained this Blood Phoenix Feather and studied it carefully, he might have discovered this point long ago.

  But it's not too late to discover now. The law instrument and the immortal instrument have more spiritual energy, allowing Liu Yiyang to have another way of absorbing spiritual energy, which can absorb more spiritual energy and enhance his own strength.

  This guess also made Ouyang Huan very envious of Liu Yi Yang.

  They want to improve their strength in the mysterious gate, they must cultivate and enhance their own spiritual power. Spiritual power and spiritual energy differ by only one word, but the meaning is completely different.

  Spiritual energy can be absorbed from outside, many things carry spiritual energy, but spiritual power is not possible, spiritual power can only rely on self-cultivation and cannot be assisted by external forces.

  It's not that there are no methods that don't rely on external forces, but those are all heretical and demonic cultivation methods that lead to possession, such as the Fetal Movement Technique they encountered before, and the method of cultivating the soul that Tianmo cultivators use, which all belong to this category.

  After figuring this out, Liu Yiyang felt a lot more at ease.

  No matter whether these guesses are right or not, at least the current situation is not bad for him, as long as it's not bad, that's fine.

  No one doesn't want to enhance their strength, especially after having a deeper understanding of the mysterious gate, Liu Yi Yang yearned even more for powerful strength, there were too many formidable things in this world.

  After a brief rest, it was soon lunchtime, and Hua Tian invited them to go out for lunch together.

  While having dinner, Liu Yiyang made a request and asked Huatian to help find out who had sent the Bi Xiu jade carving for auction. They were not familiar with the auction company, and even if they went to ask, the other party would not tell them. But it was different if they handed it over to Huatian.

  In response to their request, Hua Tian readily agreed. He couldn't wait for Liu Yi Yang and the others to have more things for him to help with, this was a great opportunity to leave a good impression.

  The preview ended in the afternoon, and Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan went to see it again for a while.

  That piece of Bi Xi jade carving is still the same, except that many antiques in the exhibition hall have a layer of transparent light circles on them, everything else is the same as before, these transparent light circles are also invisible to ordinary people.

  Time passed slowly, and this day went by quickly.

  The next day Liu Yi Yang got up early, he had a habit of waking up early before and even more so now.

  The auction starts today, with the morning session featuring high-end ceramics, jade and miscellaneous items in the afternoon. Tomorrow will be the Ming and Qing porcelain auction, followed by a classical furniture special on the third day, and finally, a calligraphy and painting special on the last day.

  Four days of time, hundreds of artworks shocked auction, in Xuzhou is also a relatively large auction, many people gathered here.

  The morning auction ended quickly with a good turnover. Recently, ancient ceramic collection has been very popular and this time several fine pieces appeared, attracting many collectors and investors.

  Liu Yi Yang and they appeared, Hua Tian must follow, but in the morning they did not hold up a sign to bid.

  "Mr. Liu, this is what you wanted. Because the auction company has a confidentiality system, I also obtained these materials through other means. If you give me some time, I believe I can find more."

  At noon when taking a break for lunch, Hua Tian took out a small file bag and handed it over to Liu Yi Yang with a smile.

  This is the information that Liu Yi Yang asked him to help investigate yesterday. After Liu Yi Yang took it over and thanked him, he quickly opened it. There was not much information inside, only a few sheets of paper, most of which were photocopies.

  There is a form inside, which is the registration form for the auction company's consignment sale. The auction company will keep customer information confidential, and it's not easy for Huatian to get a copy of the registration form directly. It can be seen that he really put his heart into it.

  "Towards Tian Guo?"

  The name is registered on the form, along with a photo. The photo appears to be of a young man in his early twenties, looking very spirited.

  According to the registration information, Xiang Tian Guo is a Yunnan native, this year's age, entrusted auction is a reserve price auction, requiring the auction company to open a reserve price of 30 million. This reserve price requirement is indeed not low, but considering the quality and material of this Bi Xi Yu sculpture are both excellent, 30 million is not afraid of being unsold, so I agreed.

  Other information is scarce, and mostly consists of evaluations of the Jade Qilin.

  Xiang Tian Guo is from Yunnan, and this Pi Xiu also shows the style of Yunnan jade carving. The emerald comes from Myanmar. In the Qing Dynasty, Yunnan already had a group of skilled jade carvers. This is a treasure with a history and heritage, and the auction company feels at ease collecting such treasures.

  The only regret is that this jade carving does not have a reserve price or an inscription. If it had the name of the creator, especially if it was a famous artist, the price of this Qilin jade carving would be even higher.

  These are all comments from experts of auction companies, all written in the materials.

  The information was quickly read through, and both Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xun lowered their heads in contemplation. Those about the identification of antiques were all ignored, this material truly useful, is towards Tian Guo this person.

  This is an artifact that is being used, how did Xiang Tian Guo get this treasure, or does it belong to him, if it belongs to him, why take it out for auction, these are the key points.

  "Mr. Hua, thank you, this information is very useful for us."

  After a while, Liu Yi Yang raised his head and thanked Hua Tian. Hua Tian nodded lightly and smiled, then took out another file bag.

  "These are the customer data I've collected. This list includes customers who have shown interest or may be interested in this Pixiu jade carving. You can study it and it will be helpful to you."

  Hand over the file bag to Liu Yi Yang, Hua Tian said another sentence, he thought Liu Yi Yang was very interested in this Pi Xiu, so he specially helped him sort out these materials.

  Know yourself and know your enemy, you can win every battle, Huatian really put their heart into it for them.

  Unfortunately, he didn't know that the two were only interested in the original owner of the treasure and hadn't thought about who their competitor was. No matter who it was, they would definitely take this immortal artifact for themselves.

  Liu Yi Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly accepted these things again with thanks.

  Anyway, it's someone else's kind intention.

  After lunch, the afternoon auction started quickly. The afternoon was jade and miscellaneous items. Qilin is the heavyweight of today's afternoon auction. Some people who like to collect jade and miscellaneous items have been coming in one after another. The conference room that can accommodate 500 people was filled with more than 300 people.

  Nothing

  Ouyang Xun carefully observed his surroundings, finally shaking his head in disappointment, but also with a hint of excitement.

  She just observed to see if there were other Xuanmen people here. If so, then today's Qilin treasure won't be easy to get. Any Xuanmen disciple with some strength can tell that this is a celestial device.

  For those in the Mystic Door, the immortal artifact has a fatal attraction.

  There are no other bidders from the Xuanmen, which means they have no competitors today. Ordinary people, no matter how much they like it, cannot bid too high a price for this treasure. Unlike them, no matter how much money they spend, they must get it, and they will not feel like they've lost out after buying it.

  Magical artifact, it's a priceless treasure, no matter how high the price is.

  The auction started quickly, and the first item was a Han Dynasty jade pendant, dragon and phoenix jade pendant, with a value of no less than 300,000 yuan. It was quickly sold for 560,000 yuan.

  The auction entered a tense state from this jade pendant in the afternoon.

  One by one, the auction items were sold off, and a few items remained unsold. The auctioneer didn't mind and continued to auction off the next item.

  Another jade article appeared on the big screen, and Liu Yi Yang and Ouyang Xuan's spirits were shocked, and they straightened their bodies.

  The discussion in the conference room grew louder, and the jade carving of Pixiu appeared before everyone's eyes, looking very good on the big screen.

  This time there are not many jade carvings up for auction, and even fewer heavy pieces. The Qilin jade carving is a treasure that many people have been eyeing, and now that the bidding has started on this treasure, many people's spirits have been lifted.

  The starting price of the Pi Xiu jade carving is 3 million, and each bid increase is 50,000.

  The auctioneer had just called out a price when someone in the crowd raised their paddle, and then several others followed suit, driving the price up to 3.8 million.

  At this price, there were fewer people holding up their plates.

  It's just a decrease, not a stop. The price of the Bi Xi Yu sculpture is still rising and has broken through 4 million. It finally stopped at 44 million, which is already a very high price, exceeding the auction company's expectations.

  The price is high, the commission is also high, and the auction company's people are eager to sell at a high price. The auctioneer is introducing it with great effort, hoping to achieve a good result. The higher the price, the more benefits he gets.

  4,450,000

  One minute later, the price fluctuated again and rose once more. Now there were very few people bidding, but those who did raised their paddles without hesitation. The remaining bidders were all true enthusiasts of this jade carving, while investors had already given up.

  "Four hundred and eighty million once, four hundred and eighty million twice..."

  "Lot 139 was bid up again, to 48.5 million"

  The auctioneer was shouting, his tone suddenly rising, the already 48 million yuan worth of Bi Xi jade carving rose by another 50,000, this time it was Liu Yi Yang who raised the paddle.

  They had been observing all along and didn't take action until they saw many people give up competing.

  Four hundred and eighty-five thousand, the person who held up the sign earlier changed his expression, finally shaking his head and no longer holding up the sign.

  Four hundred and eighty thousand. He had already hesitated, the price was beyond normal, but considering that jade has been skyrocketing recently, this piece of jade carving has a very good appreciation space in the future, plus he liked it so he continued to bid.

  After exceeding the psychological price, there were still people competing, so he could only give up.

  "Congratulations to No. 139, who succeeded with just one bid, for 48.5 million, No. 139 has won this Pi Xiu jade carving."

  The auctioneer finally fell the hammer, and Liu Yi Yang also let out a slight sigh of relief. Just as he was about to congratulate Ou Yang Xuan beside him, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the conference room door.

  A figure flashed by the door, he only saw a back view, but on the back view, he saw a bright light, like the sun's bright light.
