The Buddha Beads have been in my collection for over ten years. Elder Master Lin had kept them in his treasure vault all this time, never really doing much with them, not particularly fond of them either. Auctioning them off now would be timely and could also earn him a good reputation.
As for the so-called incredible powers touted by the auctioneer, that was all made up, intended solely to fetch a good auction price for the bead.
Everyone below the stage stared at such a tiny Buddha Bead. But what did it matter if the bead was an item of some high monk? They would rather spend three million on a necklace or jade than on some alleged incredible powers—who would believe that!
