Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 159 Buddha Relics, Spiritual Fruit Auction

A blonde woman in a white dress walked onto the stage holding a tray in her hands.

Vogt smiled and said, "This item is the 'Cuthbert Poetry Manuscript', which records the poems of the ancient poet Cuthbert. It is very commemorative. The starting price of this item is 50,000 US dollars. Let's start the bidding now!"

"Fifty-five thousand dollars!"

"Sixty thousand US dollars!"

"Seventy thousand dollars!"

For a time, prices continued to rise.

This first item is indeed very commemorative.

Perhaps in a few decades, its price will increase several times.

Many people were holding up signs and bidding.

It seems very lively.

Jiang Hua just took a look and lost interest.

This kind of thing is totally useless to him.

Just this round.

It took about two hours.

"Next is the second item."

"This item is a Buddhist relic, a precious relic left behind by Zen Master Hui Jing 1,500 years ago."

"Everyone, please take a look at the appearance of this relic."

Vogt lifted the cloth on the booth.

The relic inside was revealed.

What shocked everyone was that this relic was very round and emitted a faint golden light.

In Buddhism, relics are the result of a monk's lifelong practice.

Only the relics left behind by eminent monks after their death can be called real relics.

Vogt said: "This relic has a reserve price of one million US dollars."

"The bidding begins now."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and fell into hesitation.

This relic emits a faint golden light.

This is truly miraculous.

Do you want to bid?

"One million and two hundred thousand US dollars!"

"One million and a half US dollars!

"Two million US dollars!"

And on the other side.

After Jiang Hua saw the relic, a look of interest appeared on his face.

There was a hint of gold in his eyes.

Golden Eyes!
“The relics of Zen Master Hui Jing: a Buddhist treasure left behind by Zen Master Hui Jing who passed away 1,500 years ago. It contains the fruits of Zen Master Hui Jing’s lifelong practice and possesses a huge amount of pure spiritual power. Absorbing it can quickly improve one’s spiritual cultivation!”

Hearing these words, Jiang Hua's eyes lit up!

I must get this relic.

The path of spiritual cultivation is more difficult than the path of martial arts cultivation.

If Jiang Hua wanted to break through to the fourth level of the soul, it would be impossible to do so in a short period of time without some kind of adventure.

However, this relic can help him quickly improve his spiritual cultivation.

As long as you get this relic.

He was confident that he could raise his cultivation to the fourth level of the soul before heading to the bronze sacred tree.

"Three million two hundred thousand US dollars!"

At this time, the price on site had reached over three million US dollars.

Jiang Hua also raised his sign.

"Four million US dollars!"

Hearing this number, everyone was silent.

This price has reached their limit.

The most important thing is that the collection value of this relic is much lower than that of the florin coin.

"Four million one hundred thousand US dollars!"

Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows, "Four and a half million!"

"Four and a half million!"

When it comes to this number, many people are already shaking their heads.

This is the relic of Zen Master Hui Jing.

Although it is indeed valuable, it is not worth that much money.

In the end, the relic was taken by Jiang Hua.

The auction continues.

"Now let's welcome our third auction item."

"It's an oil painting called 'Silver Car Crash'."

Hearing this name, most people are thinking.

Some people were moved.

"Silver Crash?"

“Andy, a Warhol?”

"This painting is quite valuable and has great collection value!"

"This painting depicts a car crash with a twisted body of a victim crawling out of the wreckage," Vogt said with a smile.

"Warhol showed death on one side of the canvas and the world after death on the other side. It can be said to be a famous painting with great artistic value!"

"The reserve price for this painting, Silver Car Accident, is three million US dollars."

"The auction is now officially open for bidding!"

“400 million US dollars!”

“450 million US dollars!”

“500 million US dollars!”

As soon as Vogt finished speaking, everyone's enthusiastic voices immediately shouted out.

The price of this painting "Silver Car Accident" was quickly raised to over 10 million US dollars.

However, for these famous paintings that are a waste of money.

Jiang Hua looked carefully at the oil paintings on the stand.

Excuse me... I don't understand...

Jiang Hua said, "These people from the Lighthouse Country only know how to tell stories and sell feelings. How come I don't see any art at all?"

Shirley Yang covered her mouth and laughed, "This is oil painting art, of course you don't understand..."

……

Soon, the auction was coming to an end.

Vogt took a sip of water and continued, "The next item is our last auction item, a jade cong with animal face patterns from Liangzhu, an ancient Eastern country during the Han Dynasty!"

"This Liangzhu beast-face jade cong has a reserve price of two million."

“The auction starts now!”

A jade cong was placed on the exhibition stand. It was jade-colored all over and had animal face patterns engraved on it, which gave it a special beauty.

Jiang Hua glanced towards the booth out of habit.

Golden Eye!
"Liangzhu Jade Cong with Animal Face Pattern: A treasure from the Western Han Dynasty, it was a burial object for Emperor Wu of Han and has considerable value. In addition, Emperor Wu's tomb is located on a dragon vein, and this jade cong contains a trace of dragon essence."

Dragon spirit?
Jiang Hua became interested.

“250 million US dollars!”

"300!"

"400!"

"500!"

Jiang Hua: “…” Uh!
never mind!
Isn't it just a treasure containing dragon energy?
Such a high price, really not worth it!
Jiang Hua shook his head.

Just give up the bidding.

If it could be taken for around 500 million, that would be a good thing, but now it looks like it will start at at least 800 million.

In the end, this Liangzhu jade cong with animal face pattern was successfully auctioned for US$920 million.

A smile appeared on Vogt's face.

Today's auction was a great success!
Not even a worthless relic.

The price has been raised to more than 20 million.

Vogt felt that this was all his own credit. If he hadn't personally presided over the auction, it's not certain whether the price would have been so high!
"Well, today's high-end item auction ends here!"

"Tomorrow we will have our grand finale auction!"

"Please stay tuned..."

The next day.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Sotheby's auction house.

There are all kinds of luxury cars everywhere.

An average person can’t afford one even if he works hard all his life.

Many major forces from the Lighthouse Country rushed over overnight.

The expressions of the people from the four major families became serious.

They were determined to get that spiritual fruit!
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang came to the auction arm in arm.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Yang, please come in!"

There was already someone waiting at the door.

"Mr. Jiang, do you still need to do asset certification? Your current sales quota is 500 million US dollars. If you want to get a higher quota, you can only do asset certification again."

The waiter asked with a smile on his face.

"No!"

Jiang Hua shook his head.

When he came to the auction, he would decide on what to buy on the spur of the moment. He would only buy something that was useful to him.

The amount of 500 million US dollars is enough, unless we see something like the Emperor's Order again.

"Okay, both of you please come in."

The waiter smiled unchanged and bowed to welcome the two people in.

Next to the gate, there are some enclosed offices where auction clients will have their assets authenticated by dedicated personnel.

Today is the finale of the auction.

There are fewer people coming for asset certification.

After all, many people simply cannot afford the finale item.

They just came here to watch the fun.

Only the top powers are still intensively carrying out asset certification. This asset certification requires proof of assets, such as bank funds, land assets, company shares, etc.

Then it was confirmed by people from Sotheby's auction house.

The auction house will give the corresponding amount.

Jiang Hua glanced at them, then went to his seat with Shirley Yang. He shook his head and glanced.

I noticed that there seemed to be more people sitting in front of the booth.

And there are many unfamiliar faces.

It seems that these people came here specifically to participate in the spiritual fruit auction.

As for the top forces such as the four major families, the four patriarchs have already sat in their seats.

They looked serious as they waited for the auction to begin.

Today is not good news for them, because more and more powerful forces are rushing over from all over the world.

Soon, Vogt took to the booth.

He coughed and said loudly: "Welcome all friends to join us.

Our Sotheby's auction will hold the most anticipated finale today."

"I'm sure you guys can't wait any longer."

"Then I won't talk nonsense."

“The third session of the live auction!”

"The auction of the finale item has officially begun!"

"Now let's welcome our first finale item!"

There was a hint of a smile on Vogt's lips.

A beautiful woman in a white dress, holding a tray covered with a red cloth, placed the first finale item on the stand.

Everyone is paying attention.

"I wonder what this first finale item is?"

"I'm already looking forward to it."

“Hopefully we can get off to a good start.

Vogt smiled.

“I know many people came from all over the world to attend the auction for this first item, probably just for it!”

Hearing these words, a golden light flashed in the eyes of those powerful people.

Could it be that the first and finale item is the legendary spiritual fruit?
Vogt pulled aside the red cloth, revealing a jade box with some exquisite carvings on it.

This was exactly the spiritual fruit that Jiang Hua gave him the day before yesterday.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but be surprised.

Unexpectedly, the first item taken out at the Sotheby's auction house was the spiritual fruit.

Generally speaking, this should be placed last.

But Jiang Hua soon figured it out.

If Sotheby's auction house put the spiritual fruits at the end.

As for the finale item, everyone is saving money to auction the spiritual fruit, so who has the energy to bid?
And put the spiritual fruit as the first and finale item.

An auction that allows everyone to bid with confidence.

After the spiritual fruit auction is over.

Those wealthy people who did not obtain the spiritual fruit still had a lot of cash on them, so they could bid for other finale items without any worries.

have to say.

Sotheby's is still very good at doing business.

Vogt smiled and gently opened the jade box.

Everyone looked at it intently.

I saw a fruit lying quietly in the jade box.

Many people closed their eyes to feel it, and only opened their eyes after a long time.

At this moment, they were finally able to confirm!
This is truly a magical fruit!
There is a special aura on the spiritual fruit.

Anyone who has felt this aura can recognize it at a glance.

"It's really a spiritual fruit!"

“We must take it down!”

"This spiritual fruit is very important to us!"

Many people's eyes were shining.
