Seeing the dark golden Pixiu in front of him, Liu Huaichun's heart sank to the bottom and his hands were shaking with anger.
What's the difference between this thing and something you buy at a night market stall? I spent 500 million and bought this thing?
The guests in the audience were also amazed, secretly glad that they were not the ones who paid for their unhappiness.
"You must be mistaken. How could such a rubbish-quality golden Pixiu be made by Taoist Taixiao?"
"I don't know if this golden Pixiu can bring good luck, but looking at its appearance, anyone who spends money on it is a huge fool!"
"Shh, walls have ears. If Taoist Taixiao hears us, we'll be in big trouble."
At this moment, Li Yutong was extremely grateful that Long Yi had stopped her, otherwise she would not be able to display the golden Pixiu she had bought at a huge price on her grandfather's 80th birthday.
"Brother Yi, thanks for stopping me, otherwise I would have spent so much money in vain today. But how did you know that this golden Pixiu was a parallel import?" she asked curiously.
Long Yi smiled brightly and said slowly, "Just by hearing the name of Taoist Taixiao, I know he is not a good person. The things he makes are naturally fraudulent and shoddy."
He laughed it off and concealed the fact that he had easily broken Taoist Taixiao's magic.
Xu Jiahao sat in the chair, his legs shaking nervously, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Although he also knew that the claim that the golden Pixiu could change luck was just a gimmick, Taoist Taixiao had actually added some magic to the golden Pixiu, so how could it fail to work?
Liu Huaichun's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and he asked:
"Mr. Xu, as the host of the auction, every auction item must be inspected by the Xu family.
Can you explain to me why this Golden Pixiu is so different from the one in the collection manual? Are you really going to let me spend 500 million to buy a piece of junk?"
"This...this..." Xu Jiahao couldn't think of any words to say for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he decided to turn the tables.
"I advise Master Liu to be more lenient! This golden Pixiu was refined by Taoist Taixiao after a year of hard work.
We should not judge things by appearance alone. This golden Pixiu can indeed bring good fortune to people and even protect them from disasters and save their lives."
Xu Jiahao explained with such confidence that he even believed the nonsense himself.
Anyway, no one can predict luck for sure, and no one can refute it even if you brag about it.
If you've had good luck since you brought the Golden Pixiu home, that's naturally the Golden Pixiu's credit. If your luck doesn't change, or even turns bad, he'll have a thousand excuses to cover it up. Anyway, the money has already been transferred to the Xu family account, and no one can take it back.
Liu Huaichun was fooled by his words, because Taoist Taixiao's strength and fame were so great that they had already been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
What's more, once the hammer falls at the auction, there is no room for regret.
Liu Huaichun endured the pain in his heart and tremblingly swiped 500 million on the POS machine.
"Oh, Young Master Liu is really generous. He spent 500 million to buy a Pixiu that costs less than a thousand yuan at a street stall. If your old man knew about this, wouldn't he be so angry that he would faint on the spot?" Long Yi walked up and said jokingly.
Liu Huaichun's originally balanced mentality was shattered by Long Yi's words. He pointed at his nose and cursed:
"If you, a bastard, hadn't maliciously raised the price, would I have spent 500 million to buy this piece of crap?
Also, the Liu family hasn't settled their accounts with you in Dongjun yet, and my eldest brother has become a vegetable and is still lying in bed!"
Long Yi sneered and said, "That's unfortunate, I was just planning to settle the blood debt of the Long family twenty years ago!
Enjoy your last days as a healthy person. In a few days, you will be lying in bed paralyzed like your elder brother!"
Liu Huaichun snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he turned and left.
He knew that Long Yi's combat effectiveness was extremely high. A month ago, he single-handedly killed hundreds of Liu family masters, and even the four Dharma protectors were no match for him. It was obviously unwise for him to have a conflict with Long Yi now.
After the last hidden treasure was auctioned off, the guests had no reason to stay and left one after another.
Long Yi hugged Li Yutong and walked out of the financial city, heading straight to the nearby jade market to buy a gift for Mr. Li's 80th birthday.
Xu Jiahao stared at Long Yi's departing back with vicious eyes, wishing he could go up and cut him into pieces!
First, he stole his goddess Li Yutong, then he made him lose 120 million in the casino, and even stole the furnace and jade pendant at the auction.
And finally, the magic on the golden Pixiu suddenly failed, which was definitely related to Long Yi. The reputation that the Xu family had built up over the years in the capital was destroyed in an instant.
Xu Jiahao took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Master Taixiao, at today's auction, a kid broke the spell you cast on the Golden Pixiu and even slandered you in front of everyone!"
A deep, hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Okay! Very good, I will make this kid regret coming into this world."
…
Li Yutong drove with Long Yi to the jade market a few kilometers away, which is the largest raw stone trading market in the entire central region.
The raw stone trading market is now crowded with people, and raw stones of various sizes are placed in front of each stall.
Gambling on jade refers to the fact that when jade is mined, it is covered with a layer of weathered skin, and its quality is unknown. The quality and water quality can only be known after it is cut.
Jade gambling is very tempting for merchants. A piece of raw jade worth 80,000 yuan may be sold for 80 million yuan, or a piece of raw jade worth 8 million yuan may only be sold for 80,000 yuan.
It can be said that one cut can lead to heaven, and one cut can lead to a complete loss.
No matter how powerful an expert is in the jade gambling world, he would not dare to guarantee that a certain stone will definitely produce something. After all, no one can see the inside of the jade through the weathered film.
Li Yutong took Long Yi for a stroll and said with some distress:
"Brother Yi, why don't we just buy ready-made jadeite? The risk of gambling on jadeite is too great, and we don't know how to read it."
Long Yi did not respond, but tentatively released a trace of Xuantian true Qi. After the true Qi left his body, it easily entered the inside of a piece of raw stone.
The quality and hardness of the jade inside can even be reflected in Long Yi's mind through that wisp of true energy, so it is clear at a glance whether it is a loss or a profit.
Gambling on stones, which is extremely risky for others, has become a business that is sure to make money for Long Yi.
After Long Yi retracted his Xuantian Qi, he smiled and said, "Yutong, gambling on stones is essentially the same as playing in a casino. I'm so lucky today, maybe I can get a top-grade jadeite from gambling on stones."
Li Yutong agreed after hearing this, "Okay, Brother Yi, then we'll go around separately. When you've chosen the jade, tell me."
After the two separated, Li Yutong took the hired jade appraiser and began to look for suitable raw stones at various stalls.
Long Yi was wandering around alone, constantly using Xuantian Qi to explore the situation inside the raw stone.
"Hey young man, I can tell you're an expert. Come take a look at this piece of jade. The worker just polished off a corner. It's a top-grade glass-type jadeite."
