Chapter 17: Thousand-year-old wild ginseng king? Fake!



Shortly after Qin Xuan and the other two returned from the bathroom, the auction started again.

This time, the staff pushed out an exquisite brocade box that was all gold.

Yiruo walked lightly with lotus steps and slowly approached the brocade box.

The brocade box was opened, and a dried ginseng with an exquisite appearance and extremely long roots appeared in front of everyone.

After the backstage staff displayed the detailed photos of ginseng on the big screen at the booth, Yiruo slowly spoke.

"As you can see, the sixth lot of this auction is a piece of pure wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain in Northeast China."

"It is reported that when this wild ginseng was first collected, its fresh weight reached an astonishing 830 grams."

"After drying, its dry weight is still more than 200 grams."

"It can be said to be quite 'weighing'."

"And corresponding to its sturdy weight are its well-developed roots."

"After measurement, the shortest root of this ginseng is an astonishing 160 centimeters long, and the longest one is over 2 meters long!"

"According to the method of defining the age of ginseng, it is roughly estimated that this ginseng is at least one thousand years old."

"He is the well-deserved Millennium Ginseng King!"

Wow!

Yiruo's introduction really set off the whole audience like a bomb.

Thousand-year-old ginseng is a legendary thing.

According to legend, when ginseng reaches a thousand years old, its overall efficacy will undergo a qualitative leap.

Not only can it strengthen your body and cure all diseases, it may even reverse aging and prolong your life!

No one doesn't want to be healthy and live a long life, especially these wealthy people.

The ancients once said: "The most painful thing in life is to die without spending your money."

They have wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in several lifetimes, so of course they hope to enjoy as many days as possible.

Yiru was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiastic reaction.

She just smiled and watched everyone partying.

Until they involuntarily fell silent, "Since there is no precedent for auctioning thousand-year-old ginseng in auctions around the world, we can only refer to the auction price of the most recent oldest ginseng king."

"146,000 Dragon Coins per gram."

"That is to say, the starting price for this 208-gram Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng King is 30.32 million Dragon Coins."

"Each increase must not be less than 5,000 Dragon Coins."

"Please bid!"

Yiruo stretched out her hand forward, immediately setting off an unprecedented bidding frenzy.

Although the starting price of this Millennium Ginseng King is not high, it does not mean that its final transaction price will be lower than the jade bracelet just mentioned.

Moreover, with the promise of extra lifespan, no one would give up bidding due to fear of such a thing.

only……

Just when everyone was competing to bid, Qin Xuan discovered some clues.

It is similar to the calligraphy of Wang Chong that I discovered before.

At this moment, Qin Xuan actually heard several voices from this thousand-year-old ginseng king.

Ginseng: Damn it, after that human fought me like that, I became the thousand-year-old ginseng king?!

Ginseng root A: I thought my future was over, but I didn't expect that I could be worth millions per gram!

Ginseng beard B: I don’t share the same sorrows and joys as the ginsengs. When they feel happy, I just think they are noisy.

Lu Wan A: This glue is too sticky!

Reed Bowl B: ...

Good job.

After listening to the voices of all parts of the body, Qin Xuan finally reacted.

It turns out that this so-called giant thousand-year-old wild ginseng is actually made up of many younger ginsengs glued together bit by bit!

It's just that the counterfeiter's technique was so delicate, so delicate that he deceived all the medicinal material experts involved in the identification, which allowed him to successfully fish in troubled waters and come to the top auction site in Jiangcheng.

After figuring out everything, Qin Xuan looked around secretly.

He found that except for himself, almost everyone present had fallen into a state of madness.

The chairman of the Wang Group and the eldest son of the Li family.

Each of the cards were raised like a palm-leaf fan, and just as they were put down, they were raised up again.

"Um?"

"etc."

"Hu Hao actually participated in the auction?"

When his eyes swept to where Hu Hao was, Qin Xuan was surprised to find that the other party was also raising the price frantically at this time.

Not only that, from Hu Hao's crazy expression, he could clearly see four big words: Determined to win!

It turns out that his target this time was not the Yohen Tenmoku Zan, but this "Millennial Ginseng"?

If this is true, then things will become interesting...

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin!"

"How about it, is your intuition useful for this wild ginseng?"

Qin Xuan slowly came back to his senses until he was awakened by the anxious voices of Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang.

He noticed that the eyes of the two men were filled with the same madness as Hu Hao's.

Qin Xuan admired their composure as they still asked for his opinion first in such a situation.

"Two brothers, do you believe me?"

After pondering for a moment, Qin Xuan asked the two of them with a serious expression.

Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang were stunned, wondering why Qin Xuan suddenly asked such a question.

But they did not hesitate at all and nodded decisively.

"What are you talking about?"

"Since we invited you here, we naturally trust you 100%."

"That's good."

"In fact, this so-called thousand-year-old ginseng is fake. It is pieced together with glue."

"What?!"

Qin Xuan's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flames in the two people's eyes.

After nearly a minute of silence, Ye Shuliang recalled and spoke slowly.

"I have heard that some people take broken ginseng stems and ginseng whiskers and glue them back to the ginseng body. After the parts grow back together, they can sell them on the market as genuine ginseng."

"But I didn't expect that such a rare 'Millennium Ginseng King' in the world was also made by such a lowly method."

“This is really…”

"well……"

Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang shook their heads with great regret.

I thought I could present a good treasure to the ancestor of my family this time, but I didn't expect that the wild ginseng was actually fake.

Seeing that the two people's emotions instantly fell from the peak to the bottom, Qin Xuan hurriedly patted their shoulders and said, "Don't feel too sorry, brothers. It's a good thing to find out in advance that this 'Ginseng King' is a fake, isn't it?"

"Otherwise, if you spend a lot of money and the things you buy are fake, you will be so depressed that you will vomit blood!"

"That's true."

The two nodded subconsciously, but suddenly noticed a sly smile on Qin Xuan's lips.

They understood instantly and responded with a cunning smile.

"Brother Qin, why do I feel like you are hiding something?"

Qin Xuan, who was seen through, smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, actually... I want you two brothers to do me a favor."
