Chapter 522 Stunned
"Oh my God! This really is a golden Buddha in the flesh! I just saw a mummy, and now there's a Buddha in the flesh? Does this antique auction house specialize in these mysterious objects?" Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter.
Qin Ruoxue explained softly, "Legend has it that after a high monk passes away, his body will be sealed in a jar. If his body doesn't decay after three years, it will be shaped into a golden Buddha."
"I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect such a thing to really exist." Lin Fan exclaimed.
"By the way, what does this auction house sell? Can't they have some earthly items?"
"Will the next one be a zombie?" Lin Fan joked.
Qin Ruoxue smiled slightly. "That shouldn't be the case. Although there are many unique items here, today's auction does tend to be a bit eerie."
"It should have been shot separately, but they were all put in the front, which makes it feel even more eerie," said Qin Ruxue.
Saidiel announced: "The starting price for this golden Buddha statue is 30 million Mi gold, and each bid must not be less than 2 million."
As bidders continued to bid, the price rose rapidly. It was obvious that everyone was very interested in this treasure with religious significance.
"Aren't you going to take action?" Qin Ruxue asked.
"No." Lin Fan shook his head. He had used his spiritual sense to check the golden Buddha and did not find anything abnormal, so no matter how touching the story was, he remained indifferent.
"Are you interested in female ancient corpses?" Qin Ruxue said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking nonsense, okay? This has nothing to do with gender. Buying one ancient corpse is enough. Who would buy so many?" Lin Fan hurriedly clarified.
While they were talking, the price of the Golden Buddha had soared to 65 million and soon exceeded 70 million.
Finally, after fierce bidding, the golden Buddha was sold for 80 million yuan, and the buyer was Mr. Carlo.
The next few lots also quickly found new owners. They were no longer mysterious objects, but precious antiques.
"Any one of them is worth tens of millions of Mi gold, which is hundreds of millions when converted into Chinese currency. At other auctions, such treasures are often the last ones to be presented." Lin Fan sighed.
“Here it’s just an appetizer.”
Qin Ruoxue added: "That's why it's called a 'top event'."
The two smiled at each other, knowing that this was not a scene you would see every day, and they were lucky to be a part of it.
Saidier announced loudly: "The next auction item is an extraordinary relic."
Lin Fan snorted softly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Another supernatural thing."
Qin Ruxue stared at Lin Fan and said, "The relic symbolizes profound meaning. Don't you think you should be somewhat respectful?"
"You expect a person called a demon to be fearful?"
Lin Fan asked, then burst into laughter: "I only believe in myself. I don't respect heaven and earth, and I don't believe in ghosts and gods!"
His words made Qin Ruxue fall into deep thought. She realized that for a soul that had experienced countless killings, awe in the traditional sense might really not exist.
"Then is there anything else in your heart that is worthy of awe?" Qin Ruxue asked.
Lin Fan nodded: "Yes."
He raised his hand and pointed to his chest: "What I revere is my own heart."
"True heart?" Qin Ruxue felt a little surprised.
"Yes, it's my true self deep down inside."
Lin Fan looked directly into Qin Ruxue's eyes and added, "What would you think if I told you that although I've killed countless people, I've never killed innocent people?"
Qin Ruxue nodded without hesitation: "I believe you."
Lin Fan smiled, his eyes showing some depth.
At this point, the auction price had soared to tens of millions. His attention was focused on the relic, and he seemed to sense some unusual energy fluctuations.
"If I'm not planning on bidding, can I take a closer look?"
Lin Fan asked Qin Ruxue in a low voice, hoping to absorb its energy through contact rather than paying a high price to buy it.
"This is impossible."
Qin Ruxue shook her head. "Not only this treasure, but any precious antiques will not be touched casually. If they are damaged, who will bear the responsibility?"
Lin Fan understood that such an opportunity was hard to come by, but he knew that in such occasions, the rules were the rules and could not be broken.
Lin Fan was about to raise his hand, but Alika beat him to the punch and quoted a price.
"what?"
Lin Fan was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He thought to himself that it didn't make much difference to him whether he or Alika bought the relic, but wouldn't it be more convenient if Alika got it?
So, Lin Fan quickly sent a message to Ali Ka: [My dear friend, this relic is of great value. Please do your best to help me get it.]
Alika glanced back at him, seemingly confused. Then, Lin Fan added, "Take a picture. Buddha will bless you."
Alika replied: [I don’t believe in Buddhism, so will Buddha bless me? ]
[Of course!] Lin Fan answered in a serious tone.
[Okay! Shoot!]
Alica seemed to be stimulated by something and began to raise the price continuously. Seeing this, other bidders retreated one after another. Obviously, no one was willing to compete with this noble young man.
In the end, Alika successfully bid for the relic for 90 million. Lin Fan was secretly delighted, as if he had achieved his goal effortlessly.
The auction continued, and as the items became more and more valuable, the starting price also rose, even exceeding 50 million.
At this time, Qin Ruxue, who had been watching quietly, finally found something she was interested in and called out the price of "130 million".
She planned to raise the price three times at most. If that didn't work, she would have to give up. After all, yesterday's free trade had left her with very little money.
"'Angel Eyes'? I thought there were only 'Angel Tears'." Lin Fan asked curiously.
"It seems you really don't understand."
Qin Ruoxue nodded: "This is more valuable than 'Angel's Tears'."
"Well, I can understand. After all, eyeballs are rarer than tears." Lin Fan said jokingly.
Qin Ruxue ignored his joke and raised her hand again, bidding: "One hundred and fifty-five million."
But soon someone raised the price to a higher level.
"It seems that we can't get it within 200 million." Qin Ruxue was a little hesitant.
"Is your limit 200 million?" Lin Fan asked.
"Yes, I won't be able to go any higher." Qin Ruxue admitted.
Lin Fan smiled and quietly sent a message to Du Rui. Upon receiving the message, Du Rui immediately raised his hand and said, "Two hundred million!" This action instantly caused the auction price to soar, and also made Qin Ruxue breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as Du Rui made the offer, the whole audience was shocked. The price soared to an astonishing level.
Du Rui's face remained calm as he stared intently at the Angel Eyes on the auction block, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. In his eyes, the only thing on the auction block was that precious item.
