As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

Chapter 225 What is a Sky-high Price? This Is! Luo Feng’s Net Worth Breaks the 100 Billion Mark? (2)

Of course not.

It merely depends on the number of men they manage to woo.

Upon seeing that a single volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia could fetch 150 million yuan, the female celebrities could not help but gasp in astonishment.

“These antiques are so expensive! They have completely shattered my understanding of money!” one of them exclaimed.

!!

“I was thinking of buying one for myself just for fun, but now it seems ridiculous,” another chimed in.

“Not all of these antiques are that expensive. What you heard was the Yongle Encyclopedia, after all. There might be cheaper items!” someone else suggested.

“You are mistaken. All the treasures that Luo Feng found this time are valuable. If you were looking for cheap items, you should have participated in the evacuation shelter auction back then.” A knowledgeable voice corrected.

“I am so envious! I don’t even want to act anymore. I’d rather accompany Luo Feng and hunt for treasures!” a celebrity declared.

“Ha, not everyone has that ability. There are rumors that Luo Feng belongs to a mystical sect, like the one founded by Guiguzi!” another said.

“Is it really that mysterious? It is still unknown whether Guiguzi actually existed in history. After all, living for thousands of years seems too far-fetched,” someone argued.

“China is vast, and mysterious occurrences are not unheard of! There must be some mystical skills involved! Otherwise, how could he be so successful in treasure hunting? He must have inherited the essence of an entire sect!” someone else added.

Truth be told, it was not only ordinary people who were envious towards Luo Feng.

Even those who earned millions in endorsement deals could not help but feel jealous.

The first two treasure sites alone were worth at least 1 billion, right?

Top it up with the treasures from the third treasure site, Luo Feng could potentially rack up earnings ranging in the 50 billion mark who could say for sure?

Based on the 150 million yuan price for a single volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia, a box containing dozens of volumes would be worth at least 30 billion.

It was hard to imagine just how much money would be transacted in this auction.

“I told you I wouldn’t sell it for anywhere below 10 billion. Do you think I am joking?”

Luo Feng snapped.

“Why are there representatives from a Japanese museum here?”

“Get lost!”

“I am fed up with you all!”

Luo Feng was really annoyed.

Damn it.

Though he could tolerate other nations, Japan was an exception.

Luo Feng directly cursed them.

“Humph! Such foul language! You are really not a gentleman at all!” someone remarked. “I don’t give a damn about being a gentleman with you! Just stop bothering me!” Luo Feng retorted. He was an individual and did not represent the country, so why couldn’t he curse? Could they really say that China had lost its grace?

Did their empire not have people who cursed? If there was even one, would it reflect on their nation as a whole?

If Luo Feng had been a representative of the country, he would have restrained himself and definitely not cursed anyone.

“Alright, Mr. Lin, please take your team and quickly authenticate the Yongle Encyclopedia. These people are so annoying!” Luo Feng urged the staff from the cultural relics bureau to hasten their pace.

“Okay!”

The staff from the cultural relics bureau withdrew their hateful gaze from the Japanese representatives and began discussing.

Upon opening the box containing the Yongle Encyclopedia, everyone was amazed.

Although they looked like ordinary ancient books, everyone knew that they might contain earth-shattering secrets.

In all honesty, buying a single volume for 80 million or 100 million yuan was akin to opening a blind box.

It could be of great value, or it might not be.

But regardless of what was recorded, the fact that these were original manuscripts of the Yongle Encyclopedia made them extremely valuable.

“This volume is about medical techniques?”

“It is actually the ‘Shanghan Weizhi Lun’?”

“My goodness!”

Several staff membersfrom the cultural relics bureau immediately revealed astonished expressions.

The ‘Shanghan Weizhi Lun’ is a two-volume work on cold-induced disorders, authored by Han Daihe of the Northern Song Dynasty and published in the first year of Yuanyou (1086). The book expounds on the original ideas of Zhang Zhongjing, emphasizes the integration of pulse diagnosis and symptom analysis, and advocates flexibility. It mainly discusses the diagnosis of cold-induced disorders, the three therapeutic methods of inducing sweat, purging, and warming, as well as the treatment of various conditions such as blood stasis, yin jaundice, and fatigue.

“Who would have thought that this book would be recorded in the Yongle Encyclopedia?”

“Stop! Do not open it!”

“Once we confirm that it is indeed the ‘Shanghan Weizhi Lun’, we must not peruse it any further!”

Are you kidding?

How could any random individual be allowed to read a medical book of such prestige? Once a book like this has been read, there would be two copies of it existing in the world.

It was not like other treasures, which could be viewed without any consequences. “Cough, cough, yes, yes, yes!”

“Can this be classified as a national treasure?”

“Emmm, almost, but it is definitely a first-class relic!”

“First-class seems a bit too low!”

“Then let’s classify it as a special-class relic!”

Of course, relics were divided into national treasures, special-class relics, first-class relics, and second-class relics.

There were only about three hundred national treasures in the country.

...

However, some people referred to special-class relics as national treasures.

But they were not national treasures. Subsequently, the cultural relics bureau staff only looked at the contents page of each volume of the Yongle Encyclopedia to see what they were about, without reading the contents.

In total, there were 20 volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia in Luo Feng’s collection.

8 of them were about medical techniques.

7 volumes recorded ancient craftsmanship and skills. The remaining few volumes appeared to record some strange tales and curiosities.

The most important volume, to everyone’s embarrassment, contained clues about the tombs of Zhuge Liang and Genghis Khan.

However, it was not an exact location. It merely contained some analyses. Everyone looked at it with solemn expressions.

In the end, they classified that volume as a national treasure, and with Luo Feng’s consent, it was locked in a safe and handed over to the people from the military department to guard over. No one was to open it without authorization.
