Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 488: Chapter 516 Astounding Origins (Third Update)

Shangguan Hong’s small mouth was agape, and the antique dealer had almost the same expression. This number was unimaginable for both of them.

Just a moment ago, it was only fifteen and twenty million, and now suddenly it became a billion!

This skyrocketed faster than stocks!!!

However, in their eyes, Lin Xi remained calm and composed, shaking his head, and looking at Lin Xi, he said,

"Sorry, Elder Shi, we don’t intend to sell this!"

Shangguan Hong, beside him, quickly nodded. Although this number was unimaginable to him, it was nothing to the Shangguan family.

Treasures are what the Shangguan family needs the most.

"Add another billion, how about that?" Elder Shi was not giving up and continued to offer.

Lin Xi still shook his head and said straightforwardly, "No matter how much money, we won’t sell it. Elder Shi, you should give up this idea!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi, seeing Lin Xi’s firm attitude, said no more, even though he could offer up to five billion, it seemed unnecessary now.

And he had just secretly observed Lin Xi and Shangguan Hong, realizing they were not ordinary people.

From the way Shangguan Hong dressed, he was clearly not just a regular rich kid, and about Lin Xi, he could vaguely sense that this person was not as ordinary as he seemed.

Helpless, Elder Shi first sighed deeply before saying, "If you ever decide to sell it, you can come here to find me anytime. I can offer 2.5 billion for each piece."

"Okay!" Lin Xi agreed, while Shangguan Hong pouted, thinking he wouldn’t want to sell anyway, besides, he would give it to his grandfather tonight directly.

Then, Elder Shi pointed to a picture in the book and said, "This person is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and I can now confidently say that the Jade Pendant and porcelain cup you asked me to appraise are exactly the things from his hand and neck."

"This book was also passed down from the Qing Dynasty, and it is said to have been written by one of Qianlong’s concubines, specifically documenting the emperor and court secrets."

"Now with these two items, I can be one hundred percent certain this book is real, and most of what it records is likely true."

At this point, Elder Shi was a bit thirsty. After all, he hadn’t stopped at all when he rushed back just now.

After drinking a large glass of warm water, seeing the three, especially Shangguan Hong and the antique dealer, listening intently, he smoothed his beard and continued, "According to what is said above, the value of these two pieces is each around a billion!"

"If someone especially loves royal items or particularly likes Qianlong, the price would be even higher!"

Lin Xi nodded, this is the value influenced by high status or fame.

The antique dealer, heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe, said, "Elder Shi, is it possible that this isn’t real?"

"If judged by this alone, it’s indeed hard to be absolutely sure it’s real!" Elder Shi understood the antique dealer’s point, after all, in this age, there are replicas of everything, sometimes fakes are even more real than the real ones.

But at this moment, his previously calmed emotions stirred up again, "But the reason I’m confident these two items were used by Qianlong is related to a secret in the book."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi originally thought Elder Shi’s high offer was because he discovered the presence of Spiritual Qi, but to find out they were used by Qianlong was an unexpected joy.

However, ordinary people cannot perceive Spiritual Qi, which is somewhat regrettable, otherwise the price would rise even more!

And now speaking of secrets, could there be another unknown story?

The next moment, he heard Elder Shi say, "Do you know, Qianlong was the longest-living emperor among all ancient emperors, living to the age of eighty-nine!"

"Only eighty-nine, what’s so great about that, nowadays one hundred years old is common to see!" Shangguan Hong pouted, interjected, and then looked quickly at Elder Shi, shaking his head,

"Ancient emperors had three thousand beauties in the harem, and it’s said that Qianlong was licentious too!"

"Therefore, for someone who constantly depletes their vitality like him to live so long, isn’t that something unimaginable?"
