"Hows it? Do you two young masters have any interest? This was something excavated from the tomb of an ancient Emperor; he had a history of at least 10,000 years! ”The Knifescar colleague happily said when he saw that the two young men were interested.
This jade was indeed a treasure excavated from an ancient tomb, but it was unknown if it came from the tomb of the ancient Great Emperor.
At that moment, even the Knifescar fellow was unsure about the identity of these two jade bracelets when he received them from the person digging the grave. Finally, he had to ask Elder White Jade Dragon Row to appraise the items for him, finally determining that it was a 10,000-year-old corpse jade and finally buying it for 2,000 spirit essence stones.
The corpse jade was also a precious type of jade. Although it was not as rare or valuable as spirit jade blood, it was still more expensive than normal spirit jade wood carvings.
With the rare and clever methods used to disguise it, that Knifescar fellow had 120% confidence that everyone would believe his words.
"How many spirit essence stones?" Ask Zhou Kun.
"12.000!"
The price suddenly appeared by Knifescar was a profit of five times the cost. If this pair of jade bracelets were really made from blood spirit stones, then it could really be sold in the auction house for 25,000-30,000 essence spirit stones. The prices listed by Knifescar associates are already very low.
But this was still 12,000 spirit essence stones. Even if it was Li Yifeng or Zhou Kun, the two of them would still have to negotiate and then negotiate again. It's not a small amount.
The two finally switched the jade bracelet, examining it once more. This follow-up assessment lasted for two hours. No matter how he looked at it, this ancient jade bracelet was the real one.
The fine hairs left on the jade bracelet were completely formed over 10,000 years. Although this texture could be faked, it was actually impossible to do it in a perfect manner that seemed to fit completely. Moreover, the texture and wood spirit jade had formed a faint mist of bloom and a gradual color gradation that was impossible to fake no matter how ingenious one's methods were.
Both remain silent. The Knifescar guy wasn't worried. He waited there, smiling, his eyes flashing with a faint light.
From the beginning until now, he had never said this was a blood spirit jade. Actually, it doesn't matter. The unspoken Jade Row rules stipulated that there were real and fake items here; all of them were purchased voluntarily. If someone was tricked then they could only blame their sight for being poor. No one could go back and complain unless Jade Row actually sold fake jade.
Li Yifeng and Zhou Kun might have high ranking identities, but they also obeyed this unspoken rule. Moreover, if White Jade Dragon Row could open they should have plenty of supply channels as well as considerable power supporting them from behind the scenes.
Just because a Knifescar guy bows and sucks up every guest doesn't mean he's afraid of them.
“12.000. I'll take it . '' After remaining silent for half an hour, Li Yifeng firmly spoke while licking his slightly dry lips.
He had fully confirmed that this was a treasure from 10,000 years. However, what he did not know was that this was not a blood spirit jade, but a corpse jade.
Although corpse jade was extremely rare, this sort of thing had a very gloomy and ominous reputation. No noble lady out there is willing to wear something that has been sealed within a corpse for 10,000 years. If this pair of corpse jade bracelets were to be auctioned at the auction house, they would sell for at most 5,000 spirit essence stones.
Once one starts with the price, it is easier for others to pile up. Zhou Kun stretched out his hand and said, "I will add 500; 12,500! "
The two bidding against each other was certainly the scene that Knifescar's colleagues wanted to see the most. He smiled and said, "Master Li, Mr. Zhou has offered 12,500 .. have you …"
"13,000!" Li Yifeng raised the price by another 500.
As Qinger heard this, she clutched her chest in fear, "Young Master …"
“Nothing, I have 90% confidence in myself. ”
There was always a risk in buying these jade carvings. Even appraisal grandmasters had moments where they would make a huge mistake, drowning out everything they had ever worked for. However, if one was unwilling to take the risk then they could directly go to the auction house. Not only would it be more expensive, but they would never be the appraisal masters of ancient jade carvings. They could also be lovers and collectors of ancient jade carvings, amateurs who knew nothing about ancient jade.
Only by fighting and fighting in these places where fakes were mixed with genuine items could one become a true master of their field.
"13,500!" Zhou Kun refused to lose. But, even for him, taking out an enormous amount of spirit essence stones made his finances limited.
"14,000!" Li Yifeng shouted at almost the same time. But at this moment, Lin Ming's true essence sound transmission rang out in his ears. After he heard it, Li Yifeng's expression suddenly changed.
Lin Ming said, “I feel an extremely faint death energy coming from the jade. I wonder if Brother Li feels the same way as well? ”
"Energy death?" Li Yifeng's heart surged. As he probed the jade bracelet a little more, he frowned again. Although Lin Ming had mentioned this point, Li Yifeng simply did not have much understanding of unorthodox treasures like corpse jade. For now he has not managed to hook them. Or rather, it had to be said that as someone who had never seen a jade corpse himself, he could never think of this possibility to begin with.
"Sir Zhou has made an offer of 14,500 .. I wonder if Sir Li.." Knifescar's colleague respectfully said even as his heart grew happily. If he managed to sell this bracelet then the profit would be huge. Once he reduced the share to the troops behind White Dragon Jade Row, it would be enough to advantage defensively for a year or two.
Li Yifeng was unsure if he should shout a higher price. At this moment, Lin Ming's true essence sound transmission sounded even more. Lin Ming thought that the only reminder for Li Yifeng was enough for him to understand, but it seemed like he was overestimating his jade-loving new friend too much. '' Brother Li, I have a bad feeling about this jade bracelet. Please be careful if you want to buy it. ”
A feeling?
Li Yifeng was shocked. He did not believe in illusory things like people who had magical feelings. If it was an ordinary person speaking to him then he would ignore them as nonsense.
However, Lin Ming was no ordinary person. Ever since Li Yifeng knew Lin Ming, he felt as if Li Ming was covered in a fog that he could not penetrate; he had never been able to understand him at all.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Yifeng finally suppressed the desire in his heart to make another offer. 15,000 spirit essence stones were truly too high, and Lin Ming's two constant warnings had made him doubt his own judgment.
If these things were really not as he thought, this loss would be too great.
"Mr Li, you .." Knifescar's man looked at Li Yifeng with hope in his eyes. Zhou Kun also glanced at Li Yifeng nervously. If Li Yifeng raised his price again, then he would not be able to bear it.
Li Yifeng hesitated for quite a while and finally let out a long sigh. He shook his head and said, "I give up!"
For a collector of ancient jade carvings, giving up on a piece of jade they liked also required a lot of determination and courage. Li Yifeng might have gritted his teeth and succumbed to the offer, but a trace of anxiety and sadness inevitably remained in his heart.
Knifescar was a little disappointed. If Li Yifeng continued to raise the price then his own profits would be much higher.
Zhou Kun let out a long sigh, his palms wet with sweat. That's a familiar call! If the bid was higher then he would absolutely not be able to take out that many spirit essence stones.
"Then ... congratulations to Sir Zhou for getting this pair of jade bracelets!" The Knifescar guy smiled brightly. He took out a jade bracelet from the jade plate of the beautiful young girl and then placed it into a special wooden box before handing everything over to Zhou Kun. Zhou Kun also secretly paid 14,500 spirit essence stones.
Li Yifeng watched the two complete their transaction and envy flourished in his heart. He could not help but think that it would be better if he had just stopped him.
As soon as Zhou Kun managed to obtain a pair of jade bracelets, he laughed and then smiled as he looked towards Li Yifeng, he said, “Thank you so much to the great Sir Li for refusing in such a humble way. Mr. Li must have many spirit essence stones. Maybe you were worried that you would be reported by 'Sir' Murong to your family? If you actually spent 15,000 spirit essence stones, then I'm afraid you might have to face the wall in confinement for 150 years, hahaha! ”
Before the transaction was completed, Zhou Kun did not dare to antagonize Li Yifeng too much. After all, Li Yifeng's family background was greater than that. If Li Yifeng really became red from anger then he would be the one to suffer.
But nothing matters now. Since he had already gotten what he wanted, Li Yifeng could go crazy all he wanted.
Li Yifeng felt somewhat sad that he could not buy the item he liked, but now that he had been ridiculed again by Zhou Kun, he was furious. Even so, he considered himself quite calm when mockingly saying, "Zhou Kun, don't be so happy with yourself. You don't even know if what you have is real or fake. Be careful because you will not be able to buy your pants tomorrow. ”
“Haha, I think Brother Li knows enough if what I bought was real or fake! In our area of interest there are certainly risks, but if you don't dare to go out as hard as you can even if you have a 90% guarantee on yourself, you should go home and play with your kids! ”Zhou Kun laughed, mocking Li Yifeng once again. Zhou Kun had been playing in the field of jade carvings for so many years that he could judge them with 80-90% certainty%. Otherwise, he would never have spent much money.
At this moment, the Knifescar fellow said, “Master Li, Mr Zhou, let's all calm down here. Everyone who comes to my White Dragon Jade Row is an honored guest. Master Li, although you may not have managed to purchase that pair of jade bracelets, my shop still has many other treasures. If Sir Li liked them, then buying them was still the same. ”
The Knifescar people have been managing this store for years to know the way of the heart. Although it seemed like he was mediating this little quarrel, the truth was that he was making the most of the time when Li Yifeng was drowning in anger to sell him more items. A customer is more likely to buy things if they are impulsive and emotional.
At this time, Zhou Kun said, “Brother Li is very rich. Still, it seemed like he was being managed too tightly by the manly woman. He might not necessarily be able to buy anything here. ”
The Knifescar fellow wanted to praise Zhou Kun's mocking words. In fact, he wanted to hug Zhou Kun to death. Not only did he give him a spirit essence stone advantage of nearly 13,000, but now he also agitated Li Yifeng to buy other things.
Qing'er coldly said, “Huh, our big brother, the Murong family, is controlling our Young Master because our Young Master has a promising future! You think he's like you, someone who failed to become a successor? Who cares about you now? You're just a lump of cow dung stuck to the wall! ”
Qing'er's words were no ordinary poison. He usually did not curse, but once he did he would stab all their pain points.
After Zhou Kun heard it, his face turned blue.
Li Yifeng laughed out loud. He is an open minded person to begin with. Even though the matter just now had made her somewhat depressed, she would not let it hang in her mind.
He grabbed Qing'er's waist by the hand and said, "OK, I'll pick some good things today to bring back so that I return empty-handed! Brother Lin! Do you also want to bet on this game of chance? ”
Li Yifeng only spoke thoughtlessly to Lin Ming. He did not expect Lin Ming to faintly smile and nod.
"Good . I'll choose a few things. I feel pretty lucky today. ”
