Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1036 - 619: Shadow and the White Jade Guanyin!
Moreover, it had undergone some rather exquisite disguise, which was likely proposed by the clever and steady Seo Ziling, with the resourceful Kou Zhong responsible for carrying it out...
As soon as these two entered, they whispered: "Shi Long is here?"
"Yes, right there, look... he’s sitting inside."
"Remember, if you want to become his disciple later, you must show some composure..."
"Alright, alright, Little Lingzi, you sure talk a lot... Wow, there are so many treasures here... Look, those rich merchants are the famous tycoons from Yangzhou City... Eh, why is that cold-faced doctor here too?"
Seo Ziling originally wanted to remind his brother to stop being so noisy, but when he heard Kou Zhong mention Sui Yi, he instinctively looked over.
He coincidentally met Sui Yi’s indifferent gaze, which made his heart skip a beat. Torn between pretending not to notice and feeling awkward, Seo Ziling chose to reveal a faint smile and nodded at Sui Yi.
Then he saw Sui Yi raise an eyebrow and look away.
Really aloof.
Seo Ziling and Kou Zhong both sighed.
The reason Sui Yi shifted her gaze was that she noted some commotion occurring in the Tianzi Room on the fifth floor, which belonged to Yuwen Huaji.
"General, Shi Long has arrived."
"It’s good that he’s here..."
Yuwen Huaji’s voice was rather cold.
Full of murderous intent.
Shi Long? Is this person very important?
Sui Yi glanced at the man who caught both Seo Ziling’s and Yuwen Huaji’s attention.
Shi Long’s appearance was quite unremarkable, wearing a brownish-yellow robe, with a comparatively slender build, and sporting a little beard. He seemed to have no friends and sat alone in a dark corner, seemingly lost among the crowd.
Such people genuinely don’t attract attention, especially since plenty here are probably like that.
He’s a martial artist but not well-known, running a martial arts school, and though he has some reputation in Yangzhou, it pales in comparison to the illustrious presence of figures like Du Fuwei.
Why would Yuwen Huaji pay such close attention to someone like this?
Sui Yi blinked slightly, thud! The pair of giant porcelain vases were just sold on stage.
Three hundred taels of gold.
It’s truly exorbitant.
The buyer happened to be a wealthy merchant beside Sui Yi, who stood up, beaming and cupping his hands to the attendees in acknowledgment...
Then, one after another, valuable items were auctioned off, fetching high prices, including some thousand-year-old ginseng, or five hundred taels’ worth of underwater amber, each having its unique appeal, leaving everyone astonished.
Naturally, these treasures would be considered supreme treasures in modern times. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Especially the thousand-year-old ginseng, which even Yuwen Huaji had someone purchase.
"What kind of background does Baonong Hall have to be able to get thousand-year ginseng?"
"Just now, in the Tianzi Room, a three-thousand-year-old ginseng was auctioned off; it’s almost becoming sentient, and a thousand taels of gold just disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Now, that’s a true tycoon; even the wealthy of Yangzhou City can’t compare."
Amidst the bustling excitement, it was swiftly time for the second-to-last item.
It seemed to be some kind of stone sculpture, cloaked in red cloth, and everyone was surprised when they saw it.
"Ah, could this be a living person?"
"It should be some sort of sculpture."
"Could it be a stone carving by a master craftsman?"
During the discussion, the red cloth was pulled off.
Everyone’s vision was suddenly filled with whiteness.
Sui Yi was also stunned for a moment, this is...
This is a life-sized Jade Guanyin.
It’s an actual White Jade Guanyin.
The white jade is flawless.
Sui Yi remembered that earlier on the sixth floor, she did see a sculpture covered by a red cloth with several guards around it.
Is it this one?
"Everyone, this Jade Guanyin is made of natural white marble, crafted by the renowned Lu Miaozi of the Jianghu, dignified and flawless, sacred beyond compare, it is the ultimate treasure, would any of you find its value immeasurable?"
In fact, the entire venue was at a standstill, not a single pin could be heard dropping.
Because this White Jade Guanyin was simply too perfect.
The white jade truly had no blemishes, and the craftsmanship was seamlessly natural, as if there was indeed a sacred Guanyin before them, saving all beings.
Sui Yi was even shocked, let alone others.
It’s known that white marble is already a superior type of jade, and especially with such a large piece without any flaws, combined with such naturally agile craftsmanship, wouldn’t anyone suspect it to be a manifestation of the Guanyin’s divine form?
Sui Yi gazed at this White Jade Guanyin, momentarily entranced, because the Guanyin possessed an abundance of spiritual energy within that made her feel very refreshed, and she could see deep purple spiritual energy flowing over the surface of this White Jade Guanyin...
It was so intense that even her magnetic sensation couldn’t penetrate.
Hmm? Could the reason she couldn’t reach the seventh level earlier be because of this White Jade Guanyin?
