Chapter 655: Chapter 682 Mysterious Confidence (1)
Shangguan Nishang took an egg-sized jade pendant from the tray, with a whole dragon and phoenix carved on both sides. The lifelike carvings revealed the extraordinary skill of the sculptor, requiring nothing less than master-level craftsmanship.
The jade was of the glutinous rice variety, with excellent transparency, nearing the quality of icy jade.
Although this kind of jade is rarely seen in the market, it is still quite easy to obtain for this group of big shots.
So is its value in the dragon and phoenix carvings? Or does this jade pendant have some history?
For example, the one just now was played with by Emperor Qianlong.
Amidst the somewhat expectant gazes of the crowd, Shangguan Nishang paused, exuding a deep-rooted charm that made many below, especially those who lived in chaotic areas for long, unable to control their desires.
On the stage, she enjoyed the attention, paused again before saying, "This jade pendant has been specially appraised by us and has a history of at least 150 years. However, there is no factual basis or record of which renowned person owned it before."
"Of course, we also don’t know who carved the dragon and phoenix on it!"
Lin Xi chuckled; this woman knew how to play hard to get because he knew this piece contained Spiritual Qi.
Of course, the Spiritual Qi wasn’t much, nowhere near the level of the porcelain vase and jade pendant he obtained last time.
Still, even so, this jade pendant could bring certain benefits to the body, though the effects would be slow.
Therefore, his interest level wasn’t very high. If the price wasn’t too high, he might consider paying to try it out.
As for the fun Lin Xi mentioned earlier, he figured Shangguan Nishang brought this item to the auction, could it be that she knew it contained Spiritual Qi?
Besides an old man, he had never found anyone who could sense Spiritual Qi.
Could it be that someone in the Shangguan family could detect it?
If so, they must not be of "King of Soldiers" level, since none of the soldiers, even Peak Soldier Kings he met, could sense Spiritual Qi.
So, does the Shangguan family have an Innate Powerhouse in charge?
As he was thinking this, several big shots below couldn’t sit still, especially those with explosive tempers, who started clamoring,
"Only selling a piece of glutinous rice jade?"
"There’s no backstory, so there’s no need to auction it!"
"Exactly, this kind of thing isn’t hard for us to get."
"So, hurry up with the next auction item, don’t waste our time!"
"..."
Some people like Zhao Ritian and Zhu Qi noticed Shangguan Nishang on stage, wearing a faint smile, their thoughts weren’t as simple as the shouting crowd.
Especially Zhao Ritian, he had been a college classmate of Shangguan Nishang for four years, so he knew she wasn’t the type to tease the crowd or waste time.
So what was special about this jade pendant?
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Xi and Shangguan Hong, discovering both of them looked very calm, especially Shangguan Hong, who had a faint mysterious confidence, hmm, towards Shangguan Nishang.
One of them was her brother, and the other might be her boyfriend. With such expressions, this jade pendant became even less special.
In fact, he misunderstood, thinking they might know something.
Actually, apart from Lin Xi knowing about the Spiritual Qi, and being the same as Shangguan Hong, they were completely unaware of this jade pendant. But just the Spiritual Qi alone decided the jade pendant wasn’t special.
So Shangguan Hong, hmm, had always had a mysterious confidence towards his sister since childhood.
At this point, Shangguan Nishang also prepared to introduce it; if she didn’t speak soon, the situation would be difficult to control.
In doing things, one must have a degree to do well!
Clearly, she did very well in this regard.
So she promptly said, "Although it doesn’t have a specific backstory, not as precious as imperial jade, this piece has a previous employer’s proof."
"Proof of what?" many thought in their hearts.
