However, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, the sculptures had their own set of rules, and naturally they couldn't be seen by ordinary people before they were unveiled.

Now when he heard **Long mention it like this, he immediately felt doubtful...

"There is no more famous temple than Xishan Temple in the whole of Huangbei. So many years of sesame oil money was used to cast the statue? Is there water in it?"

"Brother Zhao doesn't know. It is said that this is a statue of Guanyin. It is made of pure copper and weighs ten thousand jun. It is then polished bit by bit by craftsmen. Even the gilding layer on the outside is several times thicker than ordinary statues. The construction started in September last year and it has already been completed by now.

Most of the year..."

**Long was introduced like this. Even if Chu Tian relied solely on his imagination, he could have predicted that when the statue of the god was unveiled, it would arouse the attention of the crowd and the worship of believers.

With such a large shape and pure copper plating, this is probably beyond the scope of ordinary statues...

**Long saw Chu Tian's slightly surprised expression at this moment and couldn't help but smacked his lips and exclaimed: "This abbot of Kuchan is probably playing a big game of chess."

"Once this statue is unveiled, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Huangbei and even the Kyushu Kingdom. There will definitely be more people coming there. Even the craftsmen in charge said that Xishan Temple is not building a statue, but a god...

…”

**Long's words of admiration and ridicule were unintentional on the part of the speaker, but Chu Tian, ​​the listener, did.

There were some vague clues in my mind, secretly connected to the events I saw and heard.

At this moment……

The auction has officially begun.

The first item to be auctioned was a huge demon-conquering pestle. When Master Kuchan unveiled the red cloth, even Chu Tian could feel a faint Buddha light shrouding the magic weapon.

Obviously not a mortal thing.

"I don't understand antiquities appraisal, so I have to trouble Brother Zhao to announce the reserve price for tonight's auction. By the way, be careful of Ji Yan."

Chutian naturally knew what **Long's words meant. Among the hundreds of wealthy businessmen present, who didn't come here for these four magical artifacts? He was not well-known in the Huangbei collecting community, and he would inevitably be targeted by Master Ji Yan when he came on stage...

…

With so many pairs of eyes watching, how could a guest from Luoshui destroy his own breeze in Shunnan City?

When Chu Tian strode onto the stage, there were constant discussions about his identity in the audience.

"I heard Cheng Jianlin say that when this kid was just starting out, he made it impossible for Master Jiang Li to come down. Is this true or false..."

"Of course it's true. I was also there that night. Chu Tian's hand caught the thread and directly saw through Jiang Li's Zhang Daqian imitation of Shi Tao's fake painting, which shocked everyone."

"What's more, this kid also left an astonishing saying at the end that it's easy to identify treasures but difficult to identify people. Have you ever seen Jiang Li's expression at that time? That's wonderful!"

Those who had seen Chu Tian break the trap dug by Jiang Li that night and use his miraculous method of identifying treasures all praised Chu Tian highly at this moment.

But obviously this is not enough...

"Ji Yan is the one who is supporting Xu Shiya tonight. Jiang Li is completely incompetent in front of him. This guy represents Shunnan City and was pushed to the stage by the dragon. I'm afraid it's because of Ji Yan's displeasure."

"Who says it's not the case? I had the honor to meet Ji Yan once in Luoshui. This person is a typical sweet talker and a sword hidden in his smile. With him here, I'm afraid tonight's auction will be... interesting."

"Hehe, even if he is looking for trouble, he is looking for Chu Tian. After all, one is Taishan Beidou in the Huangbei collection world, and the other is a young boy who has just become famous in Shunnan City, but was pushed to the front by the dragon.

, these two people met together..."

There were many malicious laughs all around, and at this moment, Chu Tian was already standing on the stage, next to Abbot Kuchan.

"Amitabha, donor Zhao, this demon-conquering pestle is three feet and three inches long. It has the Buddhist Great Mercy and Compassion mantra engraved on it. It has great power."

"What do you think is the appropriate price?"

When Abbot Kuchan said this to Chutian, under the auction stage, Ji Yan's eyes were always on Chutian, and the disdain between his eyebrows was simply needless to express...

"The flower pattern system flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is blessed with powerful spells. It should be a blessing. But it is too huge to be used as a house-tightening magic weapon. Maybe the base price is 3 million, which is the best."

Chu Tian announced the price easily and casually, and there were not many rebuttals from below. Even Ji Yan slowly responded: "This guy has some discernment."

There was no one to stop me. Once the price came out, there was a natural bidding war.

"5000000!"

"I'll pay 10 million!"

"13 million, Jia has opened a new investment company and a new building. I want to buy it back and decorate it. Do you have any objections?"

As soon as Jia Sifang opened his mouth, the bidding immediately stopped. Firstly, many people wanted to focus their auctions on the next few better items...

Second, as Chu Tian said, the Demon-Conquering Pestle is too huge and is indeed not suitable for use in ordinary mansions.

Thirdly, it is because Jia Sifang is the biggest upstart in Shunnan City. He will try his best to get what he likes, so no one is willing to touch this problem.

"I didn't expect this loser to actually know how to appraise antiques. Did the dragon bring him here this time because he was afraid of Mr. Ji Yan?"

Xiao Zekai said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Xu Shiya narrowed her eyes slightly, frowned and continued: "A descendant of the Chu family has no pride. If it were his eldest brother Zhao Yun, he would be able to make a comeback even if he was expelled to Shunnan City."

"He was once a top-notch business genius in Huangbei. Now he is not taking the right path, but he has returned to the field of vision by appraising dragon treasures. He doesn't mind embarrassing Zhao Yuejin!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zekai couldn't help but snorted and echoed: "Who says it's not the case? It seems that after leaving the Chu family, he will still be the waste of Shunnan City."

"My achievements in business can no longer reach the level I achieved before, and they are far behind Shiya and you."

Xu Shiya didn't respond after hearing this, which was regarded as acquiescence. However, when she looked at Chu Tian, ​​her eyes became more and more disappointed.

"Mr. Jia offered 13 million, is there anything higher?"

"13 million once, 13 million twice..."

"make a deal!"

When Jia Sifang saw the first magic weapon, the Demon-Conquering Pestle, he was surrounded by congratulations, but Chu Tian frowned secretly.

Because when his hand had just touched the demon-conquering pestle, which is known as a magic weapon, negative emotions that made him feel uneasy instantly appeared in the Chaos Bead.

When negative emotions like waves hit him, he even felt as if he was about to be infected by this emotion and become crazy and murderous!

"The four magical artifacts being auctioned tonight are probably as unsettling as the picture of the faceless beauty I saw before. Perhaps there is a connection between them."

While Chu Tian was thinking secretly, the auction continued, and the second and third lots were pushed up at the same time.

Abbot Kuchan raised his hand to announce, and everyone in the audience widened their eyes...

"It turned out to be a pair of Meng Po bells."
Chapter completed!
