Peerless Sword God of the City

Upon hearing this, Li Yi nodded slightly.

When she saw what Li Yi was looking at, it was a rectangular object, about three inches long, white all over, just like a piece of ancient jade.

However, it seems that due to its age, the ancient jade is covered with dust. Even after careful wiping, its antiquity can still be seen.

However, this ancient jade looks like just an ordinary piece of jade, and for some ordinary people, it can only be used as an ornament.

Furthermore, considering its age, even if it is old, its appearance is really not very attractive, and I believe no one would like this shape of jade.

For martial artists, this kind of jade has no use for cultivation; at most, people might buy it as a plaything.

Liu Shanshan couldn't understand why Mr. Li looked down on Master Shangguan Xiumu's feng shui compass but took a liking to this unremarkable piece of jade.

"Young man, have you taken a fancy to this piece of jade?" Uncle Cheng asked, noticing that Li Yi seemed interested in the rectangular piece of jade.

Li Yi smiled with delight and said, "Yes, I want this jade. Ask the auctioneer how much it costs or what it's worth in exchange."

Uncle Cheng was somewhat puzzled by Li Yi's expression of treasuring the clothes.

Others might not know about this jade, but as the host of this antique auction, he knew it inside and out.

This piece has already failed to sell at auction twice; no one has bought it.

Because this piece of jade fetched a whopping 500 million at auction!!!

500 million? What does that even mean?

That's enough to buy a small plot of land in the suburbs of Qinghe City, instantly turning an ordinary person into a nouveau riche.

He was even wondering if the seller was desperate for money and was just asking for an exorbitant price!

The seller of this jade was an ordinary person. According to him, this item was his family heirloom, with a long history, passed down from the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago. However, due to the long passage of time and the fact that his family had moved many times, by the time it reached his grandfather's generation, no one knew the specific uses of this jade.

Furthermore, their family had fallen on hard times, which is why they put this item up for auction.

This person also said that his ancestors were top scholars in the martial arts examinations in ancient times. Given the family's wealth at that time, the fact that they could regard this item as a family heirloom must mean that it was extremely extraordinary.

Therefore, this person firmly believed that this item had a great effect, sold it at an extremely high price, and never bargained!

Although the jade is genuine, it is extremely ugly in appearance, and its composition is only of medium to high quality. If it were placed in a jewelry store, and given its age, it would be worth at most a few hundred thousand.

The starting bid is a whopping 500 million?!

Who knows if this person is telling the truth or lying? Nobody's money grows on trees. Who would spend 500 million to buy a piece of jade that has no known purpose?!

But when Uncle Cheng heard Li Yi say he was going to bid on this treasure directly, he felt like he had misheard.

Is this crazy?

Would you spend 500 million to buy a piece of jade to play with?

Or is it that you think the family has too much money?

What a spendthrift!

Although Uncle Cheng thought to himself, he dared not say it out loud. He saw Li Yi being taken advantage of and that Emperor Manor would get a cut after the auction, so he naturally wouldn't object. On the contrary, he was very supportive of Li Yi.

That was the thought in his mind, but he turned to Li Yi again to confirm:

"Young man, are you sure you want to spend 500 million to buy this unknown jade?"

Li Yi looked at the jade and liked it more and more. Under Uncle Cheng's suspicious gaze, he nodded heavily.

"Yes, I want to take a picture of it."

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to really like the item, Liu Shanshan had Uncle Cheng take the jade out of the crystal box and handed it to Li Yi, saying with a smile, "Since you like it, sir, then consider this jade a gift from Shanshan to you. I hope you will accept it."

Liu Shanshan knew the value of that martial arts technique; compared to this unknown jade, it was nothing.

Furthermore, using such a small cost of 500 million to win the favor of a Qi Master is a sure-fire way for the Liu family to make a profit.

However, when Uncle Cheng heard that Liu Shanshan was going to give the jade stone to Li Yi as a gift, he felt a pang of heartache in his eyes, which had previously seemed disrespectful.

Although the Liu family of Qinghe has assets worth billions, 500 million is neither a high nor a low amount for them!

But the fact that the young lady gave a gift worth 500 million just to please this guy shows that he must have an incredibly powerful background.

Upon thinking of this, Uncle Cheng suddenly seemed like a different person, and smiled at Li Yi, saying, "Since Miss wants to give this jade to you, then you can take it. If this item is left here, it will definitely fail to sell. I will settle the account with him after the auction."

"Okay, thank you!"

Li Yi took the jade and looked at it as if he had found a great treasure, like a playful little boy who had seen an Ultraman model or a Transformer.

Looking at Li Yi's expression, Liu Shanshan recalled how, when she had given him a bank card worth 100 million and a feng shui compass from Master Guan Xiumu, Li Yi's expression when he accepted the bank card and looked at the compass was so nonchalant, as if the money and the compass were nothing more than trash in his eyes.

But now he's incredibly fond of this ordinary piece of jade. Could it be that Mr. Li values ​​this jade more than the previous two items?

Mr. Li is truly a brilliant person.

However, since Li Yi liked it, she didn't press him further.

Uncle Cheng led Li Yi and Liu Shanshan on a tour of the hall. After Li Yi obtained the ancient jade, he lost interest in the other auction items.

"Uncle Cheng, you can preside over the auction later. I'll take Mr. Li to my father's place first." After saying that, Liu Shanshan led Li Yi out of the second floor, through a small garden, and to the door of a hall.

"Sir, Shanshan has already sent someone to bid on your behalf for the Tai Xuan Crystal you requested."

Li Yi nodded, and Liu Shanshan pushed open the door and led Li Yi inside.

Upon entering the hall, there were two rows of grand master chairs arranged in a row, and the chairs were already full of people. The one sitting in the main seat was none other than Donghuang.

Upon seeing Li Yi, Donghuang stepped forward, bowed slightly with clasped hands, and then addressed the crowd in the hall:

"Let me introduce you all. This is the Qi Master I was talking about, Mr. Li Yi."

As Donghuang finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately turned their gazes to Li Yi, as if trying to figure out what was going on with him!
