C14 Seven star dragon abyss sword
The four-colour jade pendant s were rare treasures, and the bidding process was very intense. After following Zhang Kexin twice, he stopped bidding, and was finally won by a skinny middle-aged man for 3.5 million.
3.5 million was already quite a high price. Although it was a bit less than the official auction house outside, this was a black market, and it was not a small amount to sell.
Following that, the Boss Ma called for someone to take out the second item.
It was a rusty bronze sword, about 70 cm long. It was covered in copper and aluminum, and its hilt was also stained with corrosion. If it was taken outside, it would most likely be thrown away like a piece of junk.
"Old Ma, you can't be planning on using this second item to fool us, right?" A boss said with a smile.
"That's right, Old Ma. This thing has been corroding too much. No matter how old it is, its value is limited." Another boss continued.
"Let's hurry up and change it to another treasure."
Someone was already urging them impatiently.
The price was very low, and the corrosion of this kind of item was very strong, its value was very limited. At that time, the reason he kept it was to try his luck, but looking at it now, no one seemed to like it.
"Alright, then let's begin the next one." Boss Ma smiled and prepared to keep the bronze sword for the next auction item.
Ye Feng originally did not have much interest in this kind of thing, but after using his fluoroscopy, he was surprised to find that inside the corroded and speckled package, there was actually a cold and threatening longsword.
"A bronze sword, called the Seven Star Dragon Abyss. It was created by the famous swordsmith Ou Zizhi and by the great swordsmaster Qian Jianshe." At the same time, the appraising result of the cold sword inside the decayed bronze longsword also appeared in his mind.
Ye Feng was stunned, he never thought that this broken sword would actually be the Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword that was ranked fifth in the top ten swords of China.
"Wait, Boss Ma, can you show me that ancient sword?" Ye Feng suddenly said.
Boss Ma laughed, then passed his hand to one of his subordinates to send it over.
After playing with it for a while, Ye Feng managed to suppress the excitement in his heart with much difficulty, and said calmly: Boss Ma, how much do you plan on selling this sword?
"Oh this thing, you're someone the Miss Zhang brought over, if you like it, then take it." Boss Ma said very generously. He had only spent a few thousand dollars to collect this item, and the four-colour jade pendant from earlier had already made him quite a bit. Naturally, he wouldn't care about this small amount of money.
"That won't do, Boss Ma. You can name a price for each yard, what's the price?" Ye Feng replied with a smile. If Boss Ma gave it to him for nothing, and even brought out the Seven Star Dragon Abyss longsword inside, what would he do if Boss Ma regretted it?
It was more reliable to spend money to buy it.
Zhang Kexin turned around and looked at Ye Feng: "You like this thing?"
Ye Feng nodded.
"Boss Ma, business is business. Name a price for this thing." Zhang Kexin asked.
Boss Ma laughed and replied: "Since that's the case, then let's just sell it for three thousand. I bought it at three thousand, and sold it to you as per the book."
Zhang Kexin did not speak anymore, she took out a stack of bills from her pocket and looked through them at thirty.
"Sister Zhang, I have money on me." Ye Feng hurriedly opened his mouth as he spoke, and at the same time, he took out his seventy thousand remaining bank card.
"Keep it. Only cash can be traded here." Zhang Kexin laughed as she handed over the three thousand gold.
Ye Feng was startled for a moment, then he understood why the Lady Boss and the other antique shop owners would bring so much cash over. After everything that had happened, it turned out that the black market only dealt in direct cash.
Having come to the black market for the first time, he obviously didn't know this rule.
The fourth and fifth items were next. Amongst the two items, there was only one fake. However, the fake was so realistic that normal appraisers wouldn't be able to tell that the last two items were sold for 1.2 million and 680,000 respectively.
Ye Feng believed that the owner who bought the fake would definitely cry when he returned. Of course, it was also possible that he would be bought as a real product by someone else, after all, how could an ordinary person see through something that even an appraiser would not be able to see.
The sixth item up for auction was a Chinese pear pen container. Although this item had some value, it was only worth a few hundred thousand, which was very limited.
Fifty thousand starting bid, each increment must be no less than ten thousand.
The auction started. Compared to the first four coloured jade pendant, the Chinese pear pen container's bid was much quieter. Although there were people raising the bid, they were all increasing the bid by 120 thousand, the highest bid was only 50 thousand.
A few minutes later, the price of the Chinese pear pen container had increased to one hundred and eighty thousand.
Ye Feng had been an apprentice at the antique shop for more than a year, so he was clear about the value of Chinese pear pen container s. The price of one hundred and eighty thousand was close to the maximum price of this pen container in the black market.
The value of everything on the black market would be greatly reduced. One hundred and eighty thousand yuan was already quite a high price.
When he concentrated on looking at the Chinese pear pen container, with a thought, the perspective ability in both of his eyes automatically activated. The Chinese pear pen container slowly became transparent, and the wooden molecular structure was enlarged infinitely, and it appeared clearly in Ye Feng's eyes.
Within the Chinese pear pen container, there was actually something hidden.
It was very small, about the size of an adult thumb, carved in the shape of an Indian, and carved in fine ivory and full of charm.
"Lady Boss, raise the price. Take this thing down." Ye Feng whispered into Zhang Kexin's ear.
At such a close distance, the alluring body of Zhang Kexin pounced on him and Ye Feng's mind started to waver uncontrollably.
Zhang Kexin stared blankly for a moment. The warm sounds of her breath hitting her ear caused her to be absent-minded for a short moment, but she quickly recovered.
"Two hundred thousand." Although he did not know why Ye Feng would suddenly ask her to capture this Chinese pear pen container, Zhang Kexin believed that Ye Feng definitely had his own reason for doing so.
After Zhang Kexin raised the bid to two hundred thousand, no one else raised the price.
The auction continued. In the middle, he took out a few items that were quite good. As for the others, they weren't all that good.
After approximately two hours, the auction ended. Boss Ma walked to Ye Feng's side with some curiosity: "Little brother, I am curious, what do you need that broken sword for."
"Lady Boss, although I have taken a fancy to it, you bought it with money. If I don't want it, you won't agree to it. Otherwise, if this broken sword is a treasure, how about we buy it?" Ye Feng did not answer Boss Ma, but turned and smiled to Zhang Kexin.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Kexin, if he did not clarify now, then something would come out later. Zhang Kexin would definitely not take it.
"Sure, I'll do as you say." Zhang Kexin replied with a smile. In her opinion, what was the value of a broken sword? If it was like this, Ye Feng would feel at ease.
However, looking at Ye Feng's sincere eyes, Zhang Kexin's heart moved. Could it be that this was some kind of amazing treasure?
Too many things had happened to Ye Feng in the past two days, causing Zhang Kexin to have no choice but to become suspicious.
At this time, the appraiser who had previously bought the four-colour jade pendant for 3.5 million walked over and could not help but ask: "Little brother, from what I see, the ancient sword has indeed corroded too much. Even if it is a rare antique, its value has been greatly reduced.
Ye Feng nodded his head: "That's right, this thing is indeed corroded too much, it is nothing much, but the key thing is the thing inside, the outer layer of rusted green is just a layer of wrapping, the thing inside is the real treasure."
Everyone was shocked, their eyes were fixated on Ye Feng and the ancient sword in his hands.
Zhang Kexin's heart was moved, she could not hide the excitement on her face.
"Boss Ma, do you have any tools to repair cars, wrenches or something?" Ye Feng asked.
The Boss Ma nodded and gave the orders.
Not long after, one of his men brought out a toolbox. Ye Feng opened it and found all the wrenches inside.
Ye Feng took out the wrench and slowly knocked it. Following the continuous pounding of the wrench, the rusty green on the ancient bronze sword started to slowly peel off, and then the layer of bronze on the outside also started to peel off. After about twenty minutes of effort, the layer of bronze and rusted green on the outside finally fell off completely.
The moment the longsword appeared, it radiated a dazzling light.
"Indeed worthy of being one of the top ten sword techniques in China, ranked fifth, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword. Even after thousands of years, it is still in perfect condition. This point, even if we were in a highly developed industry, I'm afraid it would still not be possible." Ye Feng muttered to himself.
The scene before them caused everyone to widen their eyes in displeasure.
After a short period of shock, everyone came back to their senses. Although this item was a rare treasure, everyone present was the owner of the top antique shop in Pingnan and had seen many expensive items.
"Little brother, how do you plan on dealing with this?" The skinny middle-aged man who previously had a jade token in his hand asked.
Ye Feng turned his gaze towards Zhang Kexin, and upon seeing the girl shake her head, he smiled lightly and said: "This boss, I'm sorry, but we plan to keep this for ourselves."
Actually, when he discovered this Seven Star Dragon's Abyss Sword, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He had the ability to appraise and appraise things, so the money in the future shouldn't be a problem for him at all. As one of the top ten swords in China, the Dragon Abyss Sword was more of a historical value.
Recalling the collection from the biggest Private Museum s in the Mi Guo, as well as the ticket receipts brought by the tourists, Ye Feng felt jealous.
If he could get a lot of good stuff, opening a museum would definitely bring him a lot of money.
"If I offer a hundred million, how about you sell this ancient sword to me?" "Young lad, think about it. A hundred million is not a small amount!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, a boss spoke up, "Old Ox, you're thinking too much! Little brother, I'll pay one hundred and fifty million yuan. How about selling it to me?"
"Two hundred million." Another person spoke up.
"250 million."
"Three hundred million."
"350 million."
"..."
After the intense bidding, no one raised the bid again when the boss offered a sky-high price of 500 million.
