This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Old Xie, an expert in Tang Dynasty antiques, couldn’t contain his excitement as he surveyed the collection of Tang Sancai and Tang Dynasty calligraphy and paintings on display in Su Jing’s museum. “In terms of Tang Dynasty antiques, this collection far surpasses my museum,” he exclaimed, awestruck by the sheer magnificence of the artifacts.
As he carefully examined each piece, Old Xie’s admiration for Su Jing’s collection grew. “Mr. Su’s collection of Tang Dynasty antiques alone exceeds the sum of Tang Dynasty collections I have collected from all over the country,” he added, his voice filled with admiration and respect for the museum’s owner.
Old Xie had been eagerly anticipating the opening of Su Jing’s museum, and he was not disappointed. The museum’s vast and extraordinary collection of Tang Dynasty antiques was truly a sight to behold, exceeding even the most avid collector’s wildest expectations.
After admiring the Tang Sancai and Tang Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, Ye Bo turned to Zhou Xixian with a smile and said, “Do you still believe that Mr. Su’s collection only consists of the statue of Atlantis?”
“…” Zhou Xixian scanned the impressive collection of Tang Dynasty antiques with a mix of awe and skepticism.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, “It’s impressive that Mr. Su was able to acquire so many antiques, but I can’t help but wonder if there are any ‘fillers’ in his collection. I mean, it’s hard to believe that every piece is of such high quality.”
Upon hearing this, the gentle and composed young man silently concurred. He pondered over the likelihood that Su Jing was preoccupied with developing various industries, leaving her with little time to gather new treasures.
However, the Auction House remained active, continuing to auction off valuable artifacts. It was possible that Su Jing’s collection was now significantly depleted.
As he entered the museum, the young man examined the layout of the exhibits. It was evident that the museum primarily featured the Atlantis statue, with other treasures scattered throughout the building.
The Tang Sancai and Tang Dynasty calligraphy and paintings were strategically placed at the front, likely to create a positive first impression on visitors. However, the value and significance of the later collections were uncertain.
As he ventured deeper into the museum, the young man was struck by the beauty and wonder of the artifacts on display. He couldn’t help but wonder about the stories and histories behind each item.
Although he initially had doubts about the museum’s collection, he was now in awe of the remarkable display of human history and achievement.
Led by Shen Hong and Old Song, a group of people including Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian, Boss Wu, Old Xie, Alan, Anna, and the young man continued to make their way forward. As they turned a corner, they found themselves in another exhibition area.
As they approached the first glass tank in the center of the aisle, many of them were stunned by what they saw.
Old Xie was the most excited of all, pushing past Shen Hong and Old Song to get a closer look at the jar. With wide eyes, he peered into it and exclaimed, “How is this possible?!”
Ye Bo was equally shocked, stepping forward to get a better view. “My God, this can’t be the one from the legend…” he murmured.
Zhou Xixian couldn’t believe his eyes either. “This can’t be real, can it?” he said in disbelief.
Inside the glass jar was a sheep, carved from white jade and about the size of an adult goat. The carving was so intricate and lifelike that the red blood vessels running through the sheep’s body were visible, lending an eerie yet captivating beauty to the piece.
The group of people were not unfamiliar with the unique quality of this strange jade, having encountered similar treasures before. Two such cases came to mind, both of which were from the hands of Su Jing – a Bloodstone Mouse and a Bloodstone Rabbit.
These two pieces had been sold for exorbitant prices, leaving a lasting impression on those who had seen them.
Old Xie was particularly well-versed in these treasures. He remembered the first time Su Jing had shown the Bloodstone mouse at his museum, which had caused a sensation among the experts and left them all stunned.
Now, standing before the Bloodstone goat in the glass jar, Old Xie was even more impressed. It was not just a little bigger than the mouse or rabbit, but many times larger. The value of such a piece of Bloodstone was unimaginable.
Alan, who had been surveying the glass jar from all angles, was equally taken aback. “Oh my god, could this be the Millennium Bloodstone from the legend?” he exclaimed in awe.
“I’ve never seen a Bloodstone like this before, and it’s soo big,” Anna spoke with a surprised expression on her face.
The fashionable young man, wearing earrings, couldn’t help asking, “How much is this Bloodstone Goat worth, exactly?” He saw the excited expressions on everyone’s faces and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
“Two pieces of jade with similar characteristics were discovered before. A Bloodstone mouse was sold for an exorbitant price of 40 million, and a Bloodstone rabbit was sold for an even more staggering price of 300 million. This Bloodstone goat is many times larger. Don’t you think it’s worth even more?” The gentle young man pushed his glasses, attempting to stay composed and collected, but his hands couldn’t help shaking as he asked, “How much?”
“Damn it,” Several young people muttered in frustration.
Boss Wu remained silent as he simply gazed at the goat with an intense look in his eyes. He walked around it a few times and examined it closely. The more he looked, the more his eyes blazed. He was a collector with all sorts of collections, but jade was his favorite.
“Look, there are some small Bloodstones here!” One person shouted. He couldn’t push his way to the front to get a look at the Bloodstone goat. Instead, he had to move closer to see inside the glass jar.
Inside, there was a bonsai tree with a small Bloodstone cicada perched on one of the branches, a Bloodstone butterfly resting on a flower, and a Bloodstone dragonfly sitting on a lotus leaf.
All kinds of small Bloodstone animals were crafted to be lifelike and pleasing to the eye. Although these Bloodstones were not as valuable as the Bloodstone goat, the fact that there were so many of them, arranged to form such a beautiful scene, suggested that their worth was not to be underestimated.
