The gossip-loving, complaint-filing Old Ancestor VS the hilarious, dandy Young Master (also the Grandmaster of the Xuanmen).
Qi Jing is the thousand-year-old ancestor of the Qi family, summon...
The next day, the Mo brothers and sisters came and expressed their gratitude. Although Qi Jing did not ask for any other compensation, the Mo family still expressed their attitude.
Knowing that they came to this auction specifically, the Mo brothers and sisters expressed that they would work together to buy the jade that Qi Jing liked as a thank you gift.
This was exactly what they wanted, but the Gu family was obviously unhappy when they heard it. Aren’t they here to steal their business?
Without waiting for Gu Zhonglang to speak, Gu Zhou appeared instantly and pulled the person away. The jade had to be auctioned and the marriage had to be arranged, and there was no time to delay.
Seeing this, Mr. Gu also followed over. When he learned that they were trying to arrange a marriage, he agreed. At worst, the Mo family would buy half and they would buy half and split it equally.
On this side, Qi Jun also asked Mo Chuxia to stay, saying that something had just happened to the Mo family and Mo Fangyu needed care, and let Mo Zhiqiu go back first.
Mo Zhiqiu knew the Qi family's plan. He looked at his sister with some worry, and left only after seeing Mo Chuxia nod.
Qi Jing didn't want Mo Chuxia to be too nervous, so he asked Qi Huang and Qi Yue to take Mo Chuxia with him. Girls are always easier to talk to.
A group of people came to the Jade City. Usually, the Jade City is used for vendors to set up stalls, and auctions are only held at specific times. This time, the arrangements were made in advance. At this moment, the Jade City is hosted by the owners of several local jade mines, and the others are all buyers.
There are jewelry companies, individual stone gambling enthusiasts, and many people in the metaphysics circle.
Qi Jing followed Qi Jun into the Jade City, which was quite lively, with many raw stones displayed for people to buy on the spot.
These are the stones whose value cannot be judged by the naked eye or simple instruments after they are mined, and can only be seen after the stone is opened.
There are many raw stones like this, and the prices are not cheap. It is a very normal marketing method. They use an uncertain number of good stones to sell all the rest, and the price will not be cheap.
The seller makes money, and the buyer is just gambling on luck.
These raw stones were all on the periphery, so Qi Jing pulled Gu Zhou to choose them. After all, most people were going there for Longyin this time, and they would be moved to the auction. It would be better for him to watch the excitement first, maybe he could find some bargains.
Qi Jing looked at each stall one by one and soon found a large, shiny, and glowing stone.
Qi Jing pointed at the big rock and said, "I want this."
Of course Gu Zhou said it was no problem, and after bargaining with the boss for a long time, he spent 20,000 to buy it. Later, Qi Jing saw a few more pieces and bought them all.
The two of them pushed the cart to the auction venue in the middle. When Qi Jing and Gu Zhou came back, there were two familiar figures beside Qi Jun. They were Gong Changying and Zhuo Tong whom they had met yesterday. There were also other people from the Xuanshu Taoist circle with them, but they were all a bit older, so they should be people Qi Jun knew.
Qi Jun was talking to those people, mostly discussing the auction and the rumors about Long Yin.
Gong Changying and Zhuo Tong, as the persons in charge in Pingzhou, naturally knew the situation clearly and explained it to Qi Jun in great detail.
Qi Jing also heard it. It was probably that the jade mine suddenly shook during excavation, accompanied by strange cries. When the shaking ended, a big pit appeared in the mine, and a stone resembling a dragon was dug out from the pit.
Xuanmen went to check, but did not sense the existence of Yuan Qi, nor did he find the source of the cry. The mine owner thought that the dragon-shaped stone was a gimmick, so he turned the strange cry into a dragon's roar to attract people to the auction.
Qi Jing said that he did not hear the dragon's roar, but he was very curious about the big pit and dragon-shaped stone that appeared after the sudden vibration.
Gu Zhou was also very curious, "Is the dragon-shaped stone a coincidence or is it really related to dragons?"
Gong Changying replied, "We don't know that either. It's a pity that the sect leader and several seniors are in seclusion, so we can't invite them to come and see."
Gong Changying changed the subject and looked at Qi Jun, "What do you think, Second Master?"
"Only the mine is shaking. There must be something underneath. I heard that hundreds of years ago, an evil dragon was wreaking havoc in Pingzhou. Your Xuanmen ancestors suppressed it with a dragon carving. Could it be that these people have dug out the magic circle that suppressed the evil dragon?"
Qi Jun smiled and glanced at Gong Changying, whose expression suddenly changed. He said, "It's just a joke. Who can say for sure if they haven't seen it? It's hard to say whether there are dragons and floods in this world. After all, no one has ever seen one."
The people around were originally shocked and worried, but now they all relaxed.
Although it happened hundreds of years ago and sounds ridiculous, most of them have heard about the deeds of the ancestors of Xuanmen, which are really awesome.
Not to mention suppressing the evil dragon, they would believe it even if Qi Jun said he could slay the dragon.
Gong Changying was also sweating from the words, which made him only speak dryly, "Second Master is really a joke. If the magic circle set up by the ancestor must have left a trace of aura, Xuanmen has not detected it."
"That's right. The evil magic has deceived the descendants of your ancestors. Xuanmen has not even figured it out at all." Qi Jun touched his beard. Whether Xuanmen didn't know or deliberately concealed it, only Xuanmen himself knew.
Upon hearing this, Gong Changying's eyelids twitched even more. He had also heard about the Gu family's affairs in Jing City in Pingzhou. The Soul-Sealing Evil Formation was so evil that the Gu family asked for help from Xuanmen but no one found out. If someone hadn't broken the formation and taken out the evil things in it, Xuanmen would still not know about it.
Gong Changying could only say, "It's because Xuanmen is incompetent and lacks cultivation. Thank you, Second Master, for your generosity and for keeping the Gu family safe."
Qi Jun ignored him and just handed a handful of melon seeds to Qi Jing beside him, asking him, "Did you find anything you like?"
"There are three."
Gu Zhou also consciously pushed the car over and said, "Wait until the auction is over and then drive it."
Qi Jun nodded, picked up the teacup and drank tea, waiting for the auction to begin.
The first things to be auctioned were raw stones in large quantities, and these were usually auctioned by jewelry companies.
The Gu family has such a company under their umbrella. This time, the Gu family also brought a team of experienced stone viewers. At the auction, the stone viewers will be allowed to go on stage to watch first, and then the auction will start in batches.
Qi Jing didn't need to look at each stone one by one. He could roughly know the value of the stone with just a glance. Seeing that the Gu family wanted to bid for the second round of raw stones, Qi Jing went over and said something to Qi Jun.
Qi Jun also turned around and told Mr. Gu to stop the bidding. It was not until the sixth round of the raw stone auction that the Gu family raised their bid, and the bid was not high.
After a large number of raw stones were auctioned off, the jade pieces that were cut were all of top quality and everyone could see them. More people came to bid for them, including those who were interested in jade collection.
Now Mo Chuxia and Gu Zhonglang came over and asked Qi Jing what he wanted to shoot, and their two families would pay for it.
Qi Jing didn't like any of them very much, mainly because they weren't shiny. He waited until he was almost falling asleep before he saw one, so he asked Mo Chuxia to buy it. More than 600,000 yuan was not expensive.
Then came the finale, the dragon-shaped stone. The host first introduced the story of how the dragon-shaped stone was discovered, and after stirring up the atmosphere, he lifted the black cloth to show it to everyone.
