Chapter translated by: Ironize97
Liu Ruoxi, An Changli, and An Yan were still surprised by the sudden change in the painting just now, but Ye Chen left the three of them and walked straight to a corner next to them.
When the three of them came back to their senses, Ye Chen had already walked to the corner, staring at a green bead.
"What's wrong? Ye Chen, did you see anything good?"
Liu Ruoxi followed Ye Chen's gaze and looked at the green bead.
However, she didn't feel anything strange about this bead.
"It seems nothing special!"
An Yan also looked over.
This bead seems to be just a bead made of ordinary jade. Although the quality of the jade is not bad, and it can be called crystal clear, it does not have the refreshing effect of the previous vase, nor does it have the effect of the previous vase. The effect of landscape painting can't help but be addicted.
"Hehe, Miss Liu, this is just an ordinary jade bead. It's nothing special. It's not very old. It's just something from the late Qing Dynasty. In fact, you can tell from its position in the corner that this jade bead is probably the worst thing in this exhibition hall."
An Changli smiled disdainfully, on the surface he was talking to Liu Ruoxi, but in fact he was mocking Ye Chen.
Ye Chen said that the magical vase and the mysterious calligraphy and painting were worthless.
But instead, you are interested in this extremely ordinary bead?
Hmph, it looks like it's probably a posturing!
"This trip is really worthwhile!"
But Ye Chen showed a slight smile on his face.
"What? Ye Chen, are you interested in this bead? Let me buy it for you!" Liu Ruoxi said suddenly.
"I'll do it myself. How much is this jade bead? I want it."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said politely.
Ye Chen still has the 100 million that Xu Shu gave him.
He hadn't really wanted to spend that money before, but now, for this bead, he didn't insist anymore.
"This jade bead is not expensive, it only looks like hundreds of thousands."
An Changli said lightly.
From the price of this jade bead, one can roughly judge its preciousness.
Compared with the millions or even tens of millions of exhibits in the exhibition hall, this jade bead is really just an extremely ordinary thing.
"OK."
Ye Chen nodded and took out his bank card directly.
"Ye Chen, stop arguing with me! We've known each other for so long, and I haven't given you a gift yet! I hit you with a car before, and you said it's okay. I'll just give you this jade bead, right as a token of my gratitude and friendship. If you don't accept it, I won't consider you a friend!"
Liu Ruoxi insisted.
"All right."
Ye Chen had no choice but to stop insisting.
He just secretly thought in his heart that he must find an opportunity to thank Liu Ruoxi in the future.
Seeing that Liu Ruoxi wanted to buy it, An Changli changed his color again, and immediately called the showroom manager.
Liu Ruoxi bought the jade bead on the spot and gave it to Ye Chen.
After taking the jade bead, Ye Chen nodded slightly, put it in his arms carefully, and solemnly said to Liu Ruoxi, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, as long as you like it."
Liu Ruoxi said with a smile.
In fact, after knowing Ye Chen for so long, Liu Ruoxi has never seen Ye Chen like something so much.
All this, in the eyes of An Yan and An Changli, is different.
'Hmph, Ye Chen, I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into Miss Liu's family! To make Miss Liu's family treat him so well? It does have some potential to eat soft food! '
An Yan hummed softly in his heart.
Seeing that Liu Ruoxi treated Ye Chen so well, An Changli put away his previous contemptuous attitude towards Ye Chen, and became a little respectful instead.
Next, the three of them looked around the exhibition hall again, but they didn't see anything eye-catching again.
"Ye Chen, what's so special about this bead? Why do you like it so much?"
After a while, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help asking.
"This jade bead itself, naturally, has nothing to commend it. From the quality of the jade alone, it can only be regarded as reluctant."
Ye Chen said slowly.
"Oh? Then why do you like it so much? Don't tell me you are like a girl who likes beautiful things just because of their appearance?"
An Yan couldn't help but said.
"The appearance of this jade bead can only be said to be average. Its benefits are not outside, but inside." Ye Chen said.
"In it? Is there any treasure hidden in this jade bead? But it is so small, even if you want to hide any treasure, it can't hide it!"
Liu Ruoxi blinked curiously.
"What I said is in it, that's not what I mean. Let's put it this way, for me now, this jade bead can be compared with the Luoqiu mountaintop villa in Qinghe."
Ye Chen said lightly.
"What?"
Liu Ruoxi was surprised this time.
She knew how much Ye Chen liked staying in Luoqiu Mountaintop Villa in the past.
Ye Chen didn't say any more, but secretly calculated in his heart.
This jade bead looks inconspicuous, but it is polished by the extremely rare 'chalcedony'.
This kind of 'chalcedony' is not very useful to ordinary people, but to Ye Chen, it is a rare treasure.
Because 'chalcedony' can carry more aura than ordinary jade or even top-quality jade! Unlike ordinary jade, it will burst because it can't carry the spiritual energy.
Therefore, this jade bead polished by 'chalcedony' is a good thing for laying out the Qi Gathering Formation!
And because of its small size, it can be carried with you, which meets Ye Chen's previous imagination.
Set up a portable gas gathering array!
In this way, no matter where Ye Chen is, the concentration of aura around him will naturally increase!
Although it can't reach the level of the top of Luoqiu Mountain, it is better anytime, anywhere!
Therefore, for Ye Chen, this jade bead is really a rare treasure!
After the antique auction is over, deploy the Qi Gathering Formation in the jade beads and carry it with you, Ye Chen's cultivation speed will be greatly improved!
"Ye Chen, it's almost time, shall we go and see that magic weapon now?"
Liu Ruoxi's voice interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts.
In fact, Liu Ruoxi came here today precisely for that magic weapon!
...
Soon, several people came to another small hall in the hotel.
There were very few people in the small hall, and it was not as noisy as in the hall.
In addition to Ye Chen and the others, Fang Yu who was in the hall before also came here, but he followed behind a middle-aged man.
There are also some people who are either the young children of a few big wealthy families, or the core figures of small and medium-sized wealthy families.
Seeing Ye Chen and the others walk in, Fang Yu's eyes lit up.
She didn't expect that Liu Ruoxi brought Ye Chen here.
In this small hall, the magic weapon is going to be displayed!
Most of those people outside are not qualified to come in.
Even Fang Yu herself begged her uncle Fang Zhining for a long time before she was able to come in.
A young man not far from Fang Yu looked at Liu Ruoxi coldly, and sneered even more when he saw the shabby Ye Chen beside Liu Ruoxi.
This young man is Zhang Hongjun, the young master of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family in the provincial capital is not inferior to the top giants of the Liu family.
Moreover, the Zhang family and the Liu family have never dealt with them very well.
During the Qingguang Covenant, the Zhang family's patriach Zhang Zhenhai brought people there in person, intending to seize the Liu family's territory, but in the end they had to give up only because the Wolf suddenly appeared.
"Miss Liu, not everyone can come in here! If you bring such a poor kid in, aren't you afraid of losing the face of the Liu family?"
Zhang Hongjun glanced at Ye Chen disdainfully, and said loudly on purpose.
"Whoever I bring in, don't bother you, you'd better take care of your Zhang family's own affairs."
Liu Ruoxi said coldly as if she had become that powerful queen again.
"Ye Chen came with me, we represent Professor Xue from Jiangnan University!"
An Yan didn't know why, and said coldly.
"Yanyan! Why did you talk to Young Master Zhang?"
Seeing that An Yan was not polite to Zhang Hongjun, An Changli whispered dissatisfied.
An's family is just a small and medium-sized wealthy family in the provincial capital, even if he himself met Zhang Hongjun, he had to be respectful.
"Okay, since you're here, let's all sit down." Fang Zhining came out to smooth things over, then turned around and said to an old man with a bone-like spirit: "Everyone is here, Master Wei, let's take a look at that magic weapon?"
