Tomb Raider: No more pretending, I am a Taoist priest

Laugh now, you will cry later.

Seeing Qiu Dekao's fake professional smile, Zhou Yu was too lazy to pay attention.

Retracting his gaze, he cast his eyes downward.

There, Zhou Yu's Kunlun Jade Embryo was revealed.

It's not the real face.

The real Kunlun Jade Embryo has several layers.

What everyone sees now is only the outermost jade surface.

But even so, it is amazing!

I saw that on the surface of the thin jade shell, there were dense and fine patterns engraved.

There were flowers, birds, insects, fish, gods, demons, immortals, and countless rare birds and beasts.

These patterns were vivid and lifelike under the bright searchlight.

Everything was verifying a fact:

That is, this treasure is definitely not an ordinary product!

"Everyone, this is the finale of this auction!"

The manager of the dark market introduced in a mysterious tone:

"Don't be fooled by its appearance, which looks like an egg-shaped jade, but it is full of hidden secrets inside!"

"As for what it is, please open your eyes and follow our best carving master in the dark market to take a look!"

As he said this, the manager of the dark market snapped his fingers.

The lights went out one after another, from outside to inside.

In the huge dark market, only a beam of white light remained on the auction table, facing the Kunlun jade embryo in the tray.

Suddenly, the dim outside the stage formed a sharp contrast with the shining Kunlun jade embryo.

Everyone seemed to have an illusion that the jade egg on the stage seemed to be glowing, dazzling!

"Hey, don't say, this dark market manager is quite capable."

The fat man sat on the high stone bench and made a serious comment.

"Of course, the manager of the dark market was originally a manager of an old auction house, and he is very experienced."

Big Gold Teeth said with a smile:

"After his operation, I guess the price of this jade egg can still go up!"

"But there is one thing I am actually quite curious about, that is, what is hidden in this jade egg?!"

Not only him, but everyone present, except Zhang Ye, was curious about this jade egg.

Such a beautiful jade is carved with ingenious patterns. If it were an ordinary jade, who would be willing to do this?

The only possibility is that the value of the things inside this beautiful jade is far greater than the appearance itself!

Under the expectation of everyone, the jade carving master of the dark market finally came on stage.

He held a carving knife, pointed the tip of the knife at the top of the jade egg and slowly fell down.

Slowly, pieces of jade shells were peeled off, revealing a small round hole.

There was actually a layer of cork protection in the hole.

The old master kept moving, holding the carving knife and taking out the cork debris bit by bit.

Soon, everyone saw a dark green pottery jar inside.

"Pottery jar?"

"I didn't expect that there was a pottery jar under this beautiful jade shell!"

"This is really unexpected!"

The dark market manager's persuasive voice sounded:

"With so many layers of protection, what kind of strange things will be inside this pottery jar?!"

In fact, he didn't need to say it at all.

At this moment, everyone present had already been attracted by the scene in front of them.

With so many layers of protection, it is obvious that the things in this pottery jar are definitely not ordinary!

Seeing this, the dark market manager couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and he didn't keep it a secret, and spoke directly:

"Then, let's..."

"Wait!"

The dark market manager had prepared everything and was about to continue speaking.

Who knew that at this moment, someone interrupted him!

The dark market manager was not angry. With a wave of his hand, the lights in the venue lit up again.

Then, he looked at the high platform in the distance.

There, Jude Kao was.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

The dark market manager's voice was neither calm nor cold.

But compared with the previous one, it had a hint of coldness.

Obviously, if Qiu Dekao could not give a suitable reason, the consequences would be serious.

In the dark market, it is not like the outside world, there is no preferential treatment for foreign friends.

On the contrary, people in the antique circle would hate this kind of people more.

In this regard, Qiu Dekao was very calm.

Having lived for most of his life, he has seen all kinds of scenes:

"The treasure is not opened like this."

Judekao's voice sounded faintly.

"Oh, how is it opened?" The dark market manager's voice was also faint.

"I think you know the origin of this treasure."

Judekao did not answer directly:

"Similar to the previous ones, it is also the treasure of the ancient Dian Kingdom's King Xian."

"King Xian is famous for one thing - he wants to become an immortal very much."

"It can even be said that the other party's obsession with becoming an immortal has reached a crazy level.""He collected everything related to immortality, from Buddhists to Taoists, Taoist priests, and even heretics."

"It is said that he even got the phoenix eggs that the Banshan lineage had been searching for..."

"So, what do you want to say?" The dark market manager frowned.

"So, a person like this, using such means to treasure an item, what do you think is inside?" Qiu Dekao asked back.

"Long... immortality?" The dark market manager almost blurted out.

As soon as this word came out, the whole auction house was boiling.

"What?"

"Longevity?!"

"How is this possible?!!"

"Did I hear it right?!"

"How can there be immortality in this world?!"

......

Various voices came one after another.

Everyone was stunned.

How come I came to participate in a regular underground antique auction? How could I encounter such a bizarre thing?

Yes, bizarre.

This is the first impression of most people.

In this era, no one believes in real immortality.

After all, if there really was immortality, those ancient emperors would have dominated until now.

Fatty was the first one who didn't believe it:

"Immortality? Are you kidding me?"

"Isn't the scientific level of foreigners more advanced than our Chinese? Why would anyone believe this?"

"Is there a bubble in your head?"

"Boss, do you believe that there is immortality in this green jar?"

Fatty turned his head and asked Zhou Yu.

"No."

Zhou Yu shook his head.

He knew exactly what was in the jar. It was nothing more than a lifelike jade embryo.

But then again, the original book did not introduce too much about the role of Kunlun Jade Embryo.

But its amazing craftsmanship seems to be somewhat related to immortality.

"I don't believe it either." Big Gold Teeth also laughed hard on the side: "But looking at the current situation, it seems to be a good thing for us."

At this moment, the discussion about Kunlun Jade Embryo in the audience became louder.

"Thank you."

The loud and sincere voice of the Dark Market Manager came from the microphone.

For a moment, the audience returned to silence again.

Everyone's eyes turned to Jude Kao involuntarily.

"No need to thank me, I don't know whether it will last forever or not, I will know after opening the cork."

Jude Kao still spoke slowly:

"And the reason why I said this is just that I don't want my baby to be damaged by you."

My baby?

I have to say that Jude Kao's words are very crazy.

Everyone present was stunned.

"You seem quite confident."

The manager of the dark market was also happy:

"Okay, let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. This is roughly what the treasure contains."

The manager of the dark market looked at the people below the stage and said:

"As the foreign friend just said, this thing is the treasure of King Xian, and it may even be related to the legendary immortality."

"As for immortality, this matter is a matter of opinion."

"People in our antique and cultural circle also know that although monsters are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the country, some zongzi and the like are still found in some large tombs."

"So, I believe that there are things related to immortality in this green jar, but I don't know what everyone here thinks."

"Then the auction of this peerless treasure will officially start now, and the starting price is-

Three million!"
