Chapter 290: Chapter 240: I must have this thing! _2

The girl in Han Chinese clothing brought the jade on a lacquer plate.

The jade was about the size of a football and irregularly shaped.

"...This jade is a slope jade, seed material of white jade, reaching the mutton fat jade level, and has no cracks. After expert verification, the entire jade, except for the water in the middle package, has no impurities."

Having water in the stone is not particularly unusual. Mainly water is stored in crystal packages or agate packages. This is the product of changes in crustal movement.

However, as soon as this jade was brought up, Sean Knight felt an intense desire from the Sky Eye!

It wanted it!

Desperately wanted it!

From such a distance, could the Sky Eye sense the difference in this jade?

Sean simply opened the Sky Eye to look at it, and found that the jade indeed had a bag of water, but under the Sky Eye’s scrutiny, the water shone with a colorful light, which was clearly a mass of Energy Water!

Sean really didn’t expect to encounter such energy that the Sky Eye craved here!

This energy has already liquefied and is much larger than the energy contained in jadeite!

At this moment, Sean Knight has only one thought!

He must get it!

"Because its texture is superior, it is large in size and weighs 12,247 grams. Plus, it contains water that may have been formed millions of years ago, making it extremely valuable."

The host introduced it for a while and then said:

"Therefore, the starting price is ten million yuan, with each increase not less than five hundred thousand yuan. The auction starts now!"

Jade is mainly consumed in China, or only in the Chinese circle, people from China have a special attachment to jade.

Therefore, most of the people who come to participate in the auction have some research on jade. As a result, the auction starts fiercely, from ten million in less than a minute, directly reaching 55 million!

And even so, the price keeps rising!

Sean pressed the button and entered a number: Eighty million.

"Guest No.9 offers eighty million." The host calmly announced the price.

With this price, the following moment went silent.

Everyone was making offers with increments of three to five million. Guest No.9 broke the rules by bidding so much more. Maybe he was determined to win?

However, none of the guests in ten-plus rooms were short of money. Someone hesitated for a moment and then immediately caught up.

"Guest No.15 offers eighty-five million!"

"Guest No.9 offers one hundred million!"

Sean has quite a bit of money right now, but it’s the first time he has seen such a stone containing Energy Water. He feels that as long as it doesn’t exceed 600 million, he can accept it.

His bidding scared some people and stopped them from bidding, not because they were really scared, but because they felt it wasn’t worth it.

But some guests’ anger was triggered, and Guest No.11 offered one hundred and ten million.

The next bids, although not as frequent as before, increased the bid range by quite a bit!

"One hundred and eighty million!" Guest No.8 suddenly made a bid, startling others.

Even the host was a bit surprised, for this jade was indeed brought by Guest No.8.

Was he trying to manipulate the price, or was he planning to buy it back?

Sean didn’t hesitate to raise the price again.

"Guest No.9 bids two hundred million!"

This price already exceeded Guest No.8’s expectation, and he didn’t bid again.

Guest No.11 and Guest No.15 tried to raise the price a couple of times, but Sean didn’t back down and eventually won the jade for 230 million.

As usual, payment was made, and Guest No.8 was delighted.

He bought the jade for 30 million at that time, and many people thought he lost money then. But unexpectedly, when he came here to auction, it increased by seven times!

He made a huge profit!

Of course, to each his own needs.

Sean took the jade, resisting the urge to let Sky Eye absorb the energy from it on the spot, fearing a situation would occur at the scene.

The auction continues, and there was no pause after an item was sold for more than two hundred million. Sean even felt that selling for more than two hundred million could be a pretty normal thing at this auction.

Next up was the Russian Diamond Crown, a treasure that many people had their eyes on. The final auction price was 70 million.

Sean Knight used his Sky Eye to examine the crown and found that it had been repaired, and the diamonds on it had been replaced.

However, the main body of the crown was still original, with a history of about 300 years, so it could be considered a crown of the Russian Royal Family.

The large gemstone-decorated golden Buddha of the Indian eventually sold for 31 million, not as high as imagined.

Sean guessed that it might have been an issue of aesthetics. Bringing a Buddha statue home also requires compatibility, and people might not be willing to worship a statue they don’t feel connected to.

"Next up, we have a heavyweight item in this auction, a golden mask from an Indian sacrificial totem site."

The girl in the Han Chinese clothing presented the mask.

Under the spotlight, the mask emitted a mysterious glow.

"This mask has an extraordinary function," the host said excitedly, "According to our experts, this mask contains powerful life energy, which can keep the wearer’s body fully active..."

Although the guests were in their rooms, the atmosphere clearly became more heated!

"Our auction house’s experts have a very high reputation. So don’t doubt it. Of course, to prove what we’re saying is true, we can allow each guest to touch the mask and feel it."

The girl in the Han Chinese clothing brought the mask to each guest, starting with Guest Number One.

There was no exception for Guest Number Nine.

Sean just touched the mask with his fingertip.

All the other guests who touched the mask were shocked!

After sixteen guests touched it, Sean thought, the energy in it must be less than half now!

The host continued:

"You all should be able to feel the uniqueness of this mask. Let me explain that our experts encountered this mask a few days ago. The next day, they felt that their senses had been greatly enhanced.

So, by tomorrow, you should be able to feel the benefits. Also, one more significant advantage is that this mask can automatically absorb energy. That means, after the energy inside is exhausted, it can recharge itself in a good environment—"

"Alright, the auction begins at a starting price of 10 million..."

"Guest Number Eight bids 100 million!"

Guest Number Eight had just earned 200 million from the jade stone and was now wealthy.

He had just touched the jade stone and felt that extremely comfortable sensation, instantly falling in love with it!

He had to get this mask!

Bidding 100 million, he hoped to scare off competitors.

However, he obviously underestimated the appeal of the host’s introduction to the other guests and underestimated their wealth.

"Guest Number Sixteen bid 150 million!"

"Guest Number Twelve bid 200 million!"

...

For these guests, money was just a number. Health and longevity were the most important!

Now with something that could grant them that right in front of them, how could they give it up?

So the price kept rising, only slowing down after exceeding 400 million.

In the end, the mask, with a final price of 510 million, was taken by Guest Number Sixteen.

This price truly exceeded Sean’s imagination.

In his view, the mask could not compare to the jade stone, which contained the water of energy.

After all, he still had a large amount of it in his spatial realm!

However, Sean quickly realized,

Something’s rarity makes it valuable.

He had attracted a large amount of jadeite energy, absorbed the energy of the crystal skull and the giant totem pillar.

So he didn’t care much about the energy in the mask.

But to these ordinary people, the energy in the mask was already astonishing!

Thinking about the hundreds of golden sacrificial items in his possession that were even more powerful than this mask, Sean felt a bit inflated!
