After entering the door, the interior is magnificent and classical in style.
There was a row of exhibition tables on the stage, and the hosts and relevant persons in charge were already ready. The place below was crowded and dark, with at least two to three hundred people gathered.
"Hello, Director Cheng!"
"Sister Cheng, you are here!"
When I walked over, there were people saying hello along the way.
Su Mu was even more surprised. None of those people were ordinary people. He had seen a few of them on the news. They were all wealthy and bosses. He didn't expect that they were all so polite to Cheng Xiaobi, and some even called her Teacher Cheng directly.
Su Mu walked next to Cheng Xiaobi, and she even held his hand, which attracted a lot of attention. He had sharp ears and eyes, and heard some people whispering: "Who is the boy next to Director Cheng?"
"Is he a relative of hers, a junior?"
"Possibly!"
Su Mu couldn't help but say: "Sister Cheng, your prestige seems to be very high?"
Cheng Xiaobi smiled and said softly: "Brother Xiao Su, it's nothing, it's just to give my father face, and I don't have that much face.
My father is now the president of the Magic City Chamber of Commerce, and this hotel is his property. I like to sell antiques, so I often organize some such activities. "
Su Mu nodded, that's it.
At this moment, his eyes saw a familiar figure, an elegant-looking man holding a beautiful woman in his arms.
Taking a closer look, Su Mujian frowned. It turned out to be Li Lu's ex-husband, Zhang Liang.
At this moment, he actually came to the Magic City to participate in this auction, and even hugged a female companion, who seemed extremely close.
Su Mu sighed, feeling quite emotional.
Zhang Liang obviously also saw Su Mu. He was slightly startled and wanted to pretend he didn't see him, but Cheng Xiaobi knew him.
He pulled Su Mu over and said hello: "Hi, Boss Zhang, what a coincidence, I'm free to come to the Magic City today."
"Hehe, yes, Director Cheng always comes to support the auctions he holds." After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Su Mu and nodded, "Brother Su, what a coincidence."
Su Mu has no grudge against Zhang Liang, and it was Li Lu's choice to divorce her.
It was originally to ensure that he could have a successor, but I didn't expect that he would find a new marriage so quickly.
In fact, seeing this result, Su Mu felt a little relieved. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Liang, long time no see. Is this...sister-in-law?"
Zhang Liang was slightly embarrassed and nodded, his eyes obviously complicated.
Cheng Xiaobi was surprised, but because of Li Lu, Su Mu couldn't say more.
A few people sat down according to the number plates. Su Mu looked at Cheng Xiaobi: "Sister Cheng, it turns out that this auction is organized by you. Are you going to go on stage to say a few words?"
Cheng Xiaobi said: "Just show up when it's over."
The auction started soon, and no one came to see the host speak. After just a few opening remarks, the first auction item was immediately taken out, which was a bronze lamp from the Tang Dynasty.
While the host was explaining, there was a big screen display, as well as expert comments and proof of authenticity, and then the auction started——
"The starting price is 2 million, with a minimum increase of 100,000 for each auction..."
"Guest No. 10, 2 million."
"No. 6, 2.1 million."
"No. 35, 2.5 million..."
Finally, 3.1 million was sold, then the next one, and the next one.
Su Mu was not very interested in this, but was a little surprised when he heard the huge price. One piece in particular, an ox head, was sold for a sky-high price of 100 million, which was really astonishing.
Among them, Cheng Xiaobi also took action several times and won several items. She said that as an organizer, she still had to set an example. The auctioneer would take a 10% commission, but half of it would be donated to Project Hope.
At this moment, the supporter on the stage said: "What will be displayed next is an ancient furnace cauldron estimated to be five hundred years ago. According to expert appraisal, this furnace cauldron should be used to refine medicine and elixirs. It weighs 387 kilograms, and the material is very special. It is very different from the popular bronze tripod materials at that time. The specific origin cannot be studied, but it is very well preserved..."
While the host was talking, a detailed video about the ancient furnace tripod was played on the big screen. It had a simple shape, dark colors, four legs, and winged ears on both sides.
There are some strange patterns engraved on the furnace tripod, with symbiosis of herbs, auspicious clouds, and even some unknown symbols.
Su Mu looked at it inadvertently, and his pupils shrank instantly.
Several pieces of information instantly appeared in his mind: Qingyun Cauldron, Mountain Creation, Alchemy, Monster...
Slowly, the impression took shape, and Su Mu gradually remembered the information he had read in an ancestor's handbook. The Qingyun Cauldron was made by Su Mu and was refined by a very talented medical expert.
His name is Su Qingyun. It is said that Su Qingyun is a genius monster. He can read and write at the age of three. He is familiar with medical classics at the age of five. At the age of fifteen, he has created a great name in medicine and healed countless people.
But later he became obsessed with alchemy and spent all his energy on alchemy, and this Qingyun Cauldron was used for alchemy.
Of course, the elixir he refined was not a golden elixir or a silver elixir.
It is a medicinal elixir. You must know that traditional Chinese medicine is about condensation and assistance.
Every type of Chinese medicinal material needs to be strictly controlled, cleaned and processed before it can be used as medicine.
Then the prescription is boiled to make traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective only after the patient drinks it. If the traditional Chinese medicine is taken directly, the effect will be much worse, or even have no effect at all.
Refining an elixir is a more concise and effective method than boiling it into traditional Chinese medicine. The effect can be said to be doubled, but the reality is that the skill of elixir refining has long been lost.
Many are even mistakenly thought to be Taoist tricks to deceive people, but the Baixiao Dan and Rendan sold on the market are actually just pills, far from being called elixirs.
When Su Mu saw this cauldron, he was immediately excited and held his breath.
Look carefully at the picture on the screen, especially the string of symbols...
That's right, that's the Qingyun Cauldron. That string of symbols is very special. It's actually Su Qingyun's mark, a special text: Dan Chi Taoist.
Excited and excited, Su Mu's eyes were red.
This is something from the Su family that has been lost for many years.
And Su Mu knew that there was a secret in it, which was left behind by Su Qingyun back then.
Inside the Qingyun Cauldron, there was a hidden mechanism that would be difficult for others to discover. He recorded all his achievements in the alchemy path throughout his life in a book and placed them in the cauldron.
It's a pity that this tripod disappeared after Su Qingyun's death. I didn't expect it to appear here.
At this moment, the host finished introducing the ancient tripod and started auctioning it. The reserve price was actually 2 million.
Many people didn’t understand this thing, and no one bid at first.
Su Mu was a little excited and was about to ask Cheng Xiaobi to help raise the sign. Unexpectedly, a young man smiled and raised the sign and said: "Such a heavy tripod is good to keep at home to suppress shock. If you don't want it, then give it to me." , I will pay 2 million."
Cheng Xiaobi seemed to see Su Mu's interest.
Su Mu helped her treat the disease, and the two of them had that dreamy scene. Cheng Xiaobi had different thoughts. She smiled and raised the sign, and then said softly to Su Mu: "Little brother, you are a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Since this furnace is used If you’re here to make medicine, I’ll take a photo of it and give it to you!”
