Chapter 565: Old Rules

Gu Ling'er gave Chen Ping a white look.At this time, Wu Meizi and Xiao Ru walked over. Both of them were wearing swimsuits. Although Xiao Ru was younger, Chen Ping found that she had grown quite a bit...The prominent Hong Kong businessman, Zou Zhalong, seated at the head of the table, cast a glance at Chen Ping before retracting his gaze. "Everyone here are old friends," he began, "so I won't beat around the bush. This time, I've brought several magical artifacts with me. One in particular was personally crafted by Master Yuan, capable of warding off evil spirits and promoting longevity..."

After Zou Zhaolong finished speaking, someone came forward and placed several wooden chests. It was obvious that the artifacts Zou Zhaolong had mentioned were inside!

All eyes were drawn to the several wooden chests, eager to know what treasures lay within. After all, artifacts crafted by the foremost master of sorcery in both Hong Kong and mainland China couldn't possibly disappoint!

Looking at the eager expressions on everyone's faces, Zou Zhaolong smiled slightly: "Let's stick to the old rules, the highest bidder wins. If none of you place a bid, I will take it to an auction outside. We are all old acquaintances, so we should give each other first pick!"

"Mr. Zou, we all know the rules, why don't you take out the goods and have a look first!"

Someone exclaimed impatiently.

Zhou Zhaolong nodded, then opened the first wooden chest. As soon as the chest was opened, a wave of coolness swept in, followed by a chill that permeated the entire room. Everyone's spirits were lifted!

Inside the wooden box, there was a jet-black bead. It looked very ordinary, even lacking luster. If it weren't for the chill that emanated from it when the box was opened, no one would have compared this bead to the magic artifact!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a bead from Master Xuanzang's rosary. It has been incense-smoked for many years. This bead has the effects of coolness in summer, clearing the mind, and seeking blessings. Moreover, this bead has been blessed by Master Yuan, capable of gathering feng shui and making all your business flourish!"

Zou Zhaolong introduced, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance!

Hearing Zou Zhaolong's words, everyone turned to their invited masters for advice, wanting to know if the rosary was genuine.

"Master He, do you think this rosary is real"

Bai Xiushan asked in a low voice.

Then Master Na, with his eyes still half-closed, did not even glance at the rosary beads. He merely uttered in a soft voice, "Just an empty show, common object…"

Bai Xiushan heard this and frowned slightly: "Master He, Mr. Zou said that this was Master Xuanzang's rosary beads, and when the wooden box was just opened, there was a very obvious chill."

Bai Xiushan couldn't quite believe it, how could this rosary possibly be an ordinary object!

"If you don't believe me, I can leave…"

Master He's tone was a bit displeased.

"No no no, since I've invited Master He, of course I believe anything the master says..."

Bai Xiushan quickly said apologetically.

Chen Ping glanced at He Master, unexpectedly this guy still had some skills, he wasn't just seeking fame and fortune!

This rosary is just an ordinary thing, a simple wooden bead. It's just been tampered with a little, so when you open the wooden box, there will be a chill.

Others who had also invited their own masters began to discuss amongst themselves. Soon, all was silent, as if they had already reached a conclusion!

Ladies and gentlemen, now you can bid on the rosary. The highest bidder gets it. The starting price is three million, and each increase must be at least one hundred thousand...

When Zou Zhaolong saw that everyone had finished discussing, he smiled faintly.

But when Zou Zhaolong finished speaking, no one bid. Everyone looked at each other, no one made a bid, it seemed like they all knew the rosary was fake!

Seeing no bids, Zou Zhaolong was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat surprised: "My lords, this rosary is absolutely worth its weight in gold. If no one bids, I'll have to take it to an auction house outside..."

After Zou Zhaolong finished speaking, no one still made a bid, which made Zou Zhaolong look a little awkward. He kept secretly glancing at Yuan Baozhong beside him!gon-patterned clock shot towards Chen Ping like a meteor. Seeing this, Chen Ping hurriedly rolled over to dodge it!The dragon-patterned clock crashed heavily onto the ground, sending out ripples of so...
