Chapter 310
In the box, Jiang Chen and Murong Yuan were having a great time talking to each other.
Master Chu Yun had a sense of humor, and he was knowledgeable and experienced. It was fun to talk to him.
Although it was only the two of them, they didn’t feel embarrassed. There weren’t any awkward silences, either.
Suddenly, they sensed an aggressive energy approaching the door.
As soon as they sensed it, the door was opened by force. Mo Jianfei was standing there with a distressed look on his face.
“Jianfei…”
He strode over without giving Murong Yuan any chance to speak and pulled her towards the door.
By that time, people were leaving the auction hall.
The last auction item didn’t garner much attention, either. It was a small, willow-leaf-shaped bottle that fit in one’s hand. It was ivory, with no trace of impurities. Except for that, there was nothing special about it.
“This jade bottle, according to the staff who brought it to the chamber of commerce, is from a relic. The chamber of commerce invited many masters to authenticate it, but all we know is that it isn’t average. As for what it’s for, we have no idea.
“Not until recently did we learn that it was a half spiritual weapon.”
Yin Shuang sounded tired, but she was trying her best to smile.
“Half spiritual weapon?” Some didn’t understand what that meant.
“There is a certain way to make a half spiritual weapon work.
“For example, formation disks won’t work without a formation master’s techniques.
“It’s the same with this jade bottle, but unfortunately, we don’t know the way to manipulate it nor its use.
“However, this bottle is made from very special materials. Neither water nor fire can destroy it. It’s as hard as iron. Even if it was broken, it could amend itself automatically. That’s why we’re auctioning it here.
“So, those who are interested in it should bid for it. Maybe one day, we’ll learn its use. It might turn out to be a treasure.”
After Yin Shuang’s explanation, the audience tumbled to the realization.
The jade bottle was cheap, but there were only a few bidders. Except for big, powerful groups, average people didn’t have the energy to engage themselves in collecting valuable items.
In the deity-grade box, Jiang Chen took a deep breath to calm down from the shock. He said without showing any emotion, “Steward Lin, please bid for me.”
“Yeah?”
So far, Master Chu Yun had only bid on the practice sword. Except for that, he hadn’t seen anything he was interested in.
“Master, do you perhaps know what the jade bottle is for?” Lin Rong asked while pressing the button.
Then he realized how inappropriate it was for him to ask the question. He shouldn’t have asked.
The chamber of commerce didn’t really know the value of the jade bottle. They had assessed its value based on its material. If Master Chu Yun knew something about it, it would mean he was taking advantage of the chamber of commerce.
Jiang Chen didn’t answer him, and Lin Rong didn’t insist.
Others were surprised to see Master Chu Yun bidding. At the same time, they were wondering the same thing as Lin Rong.
After some reasonable bids, the price had soared to more than ten million.
Not many people wanted to buy an apparently useless object. And since Master Chu Yun was bidding, they all gave up.
In the end, Jiang Chen won the jade bottle for eleven million.
What a surprise to find this treasure in an auction!
Jiang Chen was smiling silently. Of course, he knew what the jade bottle was for.
If he was right, it was worth hundreds of billions of yuan stones.
