I saw a sword on the storage rack next to me. The sword is not too long. The hilt and scabbard add up to more than 70 cm.
The most striking thing is that the shape of the sword is very beautiful. The whole sword is like a mermaid. The hilt is strangely carved. It is the upper body of a long haired beauty, and the scabbard is the lower body of a mermaid. It is carved with beautiful patterns and inlaid with several red gemstones.
Qin Haodong reached out and took the short sword into his hand. There were three traditional characters - Beauty sting - engraved on the handguard of the sword handle.
If ordinary people would regard this sword as a vase like sword, Qin Haodong felt a strong aura and murderous spirit from the sword. It is certain that this sword is not only beautiful, but also can kill.
He held down the handle of the sword and gently pulled it out. The body of the beauty sting was exposed to the air, and a dull murderous spirit came to his face.
"Yes, it's a good sword!"
Qin Haodong praised the quality of the sword. This beauty sting is hundreds of times stronger than the butterfly sword at the auction. It is not inferior to the boy Che Angang in Liu shengxueji's hand. Even the shape is more elegant and beautiful than the butterfly sword.
Sir Owen and Fred followed him all the time. They were surprised to see that Qin Haodong was just walking around the treasure room and didn't check any of the collections. At this time, they saw that he finally took a sword and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you like this sword? It's really beautiful."
Qin Haodong nodded, "that's it. In addition, I'll choose six more."
"OK, no problem."
Sir Owen agreed very happily without any pain. No wonder he was just an ordinary man and couldn't see the value of beauty thorn at all.
If you change to other masters, you will definitely regard this sword as a treasure.
At this time, Nalan Wushuang, who was checking the antiques next to him, also rushed over. When he saw the beauty thorn in Qin Haodong's hand, he immediately exclaimed, "what a beautiful sword."
Qin Haodong sent the beauty sting to her: "it's for you."
"Great, I like such a beautiful sword!"
Nalan unparalleled immediately happily took over.
After that, Qin Haodong walked around the treasure room again. Although the treasure room was very large, he saw the whole place in less than an hour.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that could move him except the beauty thorn, and there was nothing like the magic wand.
But it's normal to think about it. You need opportunity to encounter artifact. If it can be seen everywhere, it's not called artifact.
Sir Owen came over and asked nervously, "Dear Qin, is there nothing else you like here?"
Afraid that Qin Haodong could not find something satisfactory, he took back those Picasso paintings.
Qin Haodong seemed to see his mind and said with a smile, "Sir Owen, don't worry. I'm an honest man. Since I agree to exchange with you, I won't go back on my word.
But there's really nothing I like here. Let my girlfriend choose the rest. "
Then he handed the selection of the collection to Nalan unparalleled.
Since seeing Qin Haodong's magical skill in making ancient paintings, Nalan unparalleled has no interest in the scroll works here.
She chose two yuan blue and white, two Song Dynasty porcelain and two Qing Dynasty vases, which was the end of the selection. These things are high-quality goods. If they are sold at the auction, they can sell for at least 100 million Chinese dollars.
They left the treasure room and returned to the living room. Dr. Owen specially sent someone back to the Li family for the unparalleled porcelain of Nalan.
Qin Haodong insisted on taking the chicken head of the twelve zodiac animals with him. This thing is more important to him now than anything. In case of any mistake on the road, he can't make up for it anyway.
If so many people hadn't watched, he would have put it in the storage ring. The beauty thorn Nalan is unparalleled and likes it very much. Take it directly with you.
After the exchange was completed, Dr. Owen was very excited. He asked Fred to open a bottle of champagne that had been treasured for many years, pour a cup to Qin Haodong and Nalan unparalleled, and said excitedly, "Dear Qin, cheers to our successful cooperation!"
Qin Haodong touched his glass and drank the champagne in it.
Putting down his glass, he said to Sir Owen, "Sir, there's something I'd like to ask you for help."
"Dear Qin, if you have anything, just say it. Now we are friends."
Qin Haodong said: "Sir Owen, I know you have many friends in the storage industry. I still have some Picasso paintings in my hand. I don't want to change anything else. I just want to change all our Chinese zodiac signs.
Can you help me publicize and let the collectors with the zodiac take the initiative to exchange with me, or you can exchange their zodiac with me and then exchange Picasso's paintings with me. "
"What, you still have Picasso in your hand?"
Sir Owen's eyes widened fiercely. Picasso's sketch had surprised him very much. He didn't expect that the Chinese had hidden goods in his hand.
If he didn't have different races, he really thought Qin Haodong was the illegitimate son of Picasso. Otherwise, how could there be so many Picasso paintings.
Qin Haodong said: "yes, there are some, but this time I don't change anything, only the bronze head of the zodiac."
He knew that Sir Owen was very influential in the collection industry all over the world, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to collect as many bronze heads as possible.
Sir Owen asked, "Qin, can you tell me how many Picasso paintings you still have?"
Qin Haodong said: "Sir, to be honest, I have three sets of Picasso's sketch albums in my hand. Today I exchange one of them with you. In addition, there is a set of children's album and a set of still life album. Each set is 10 plain paintings and 10 Picasso's oil paintings."
Fred said incredulously, "you said you still have 30 Picasso paintings in your hand?"
Qin Haodong smiled and nodded: "it's like this!"
Sir Owen was stunned for a moment and then recovered. He felt that he was going crazy. In recent years, he couldn't find a picture of Picasso, but now there are so many pictures all at once.
He could no longer afford to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor. He cried excitedly, "Qin, you must be Picasso's illegitimate son. It must be so!"
Qin Haodong said with a smile, "don't make such jokes. I'm a pure Chinese."
After calming down for a while, sir Owen said: "I do know a lot of big people in the collection industry. They all have a lot of collections. Maybe there is a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.
But I want to ask, how do you want to exchange with them? If there is no temptation, I'm afraid they won't take it out. "
Qin Haodong said, "well, you can help me publicize a set of Picasso's picture album and change a bronze head of the Chinese zodiac. Do you think this price is attractive enough?"
"Yes, it's too much!" Sir Owen was excited again. "I regret now. Why should I take the head of the zodiac snake to the auction? If only I stayed to exchange Picasso's paintings with you."
He doesn't regret the exchange just now. Although the chicken of the Chinese Zodiac has changed three Picasso paintings for the first time, both sides are voluntary. This is the principle of the antique industry.
He added, "Qin, can you exchange Picasso's paintings for other things in my treasure house? This time, I can let you choose two Chinese treasures."
Qin Haodong said, "Sir, there are many good things in your treasure house, but unfortunately I'm not interested. What I want is the bronze head of the zodiac.
If you can, you can exchange things from the treasure house with others, and then exchange the paintings in my hand. "
"That's a pity." Sir Owen said, "but don't worry, I'll spread the news for you. Someone will come to you to exchange it soon."
"Thank you, sir. Then we won't disturb you."
After leaving Sir Owen, Qin Haodong and Nalan hurried back to the Li family villa.
When they got home, sir Owen had sent someone to deliver the collection. Qin Haodong didn't care much about these things and took the storage ring with him.
After dealing with everything, he made a simple defense array in the room, took out the chicken head, untied the seal outside, and took out the top-grade spirit stone hidden inside.
He asked Nalan unparalleled to protect the Dharma next to him, and then began to prepare to absorb this top-grade spirit stone and move forward to the later stage of the golden elixir.
This time is different from last time. Nalan is already a master of six grades. It's enough to protect his Dharma.
Holding the top-grade spirit stone in the palm of his hand, Qin Haodong began to run slowly. Qingmu Changsheng Qi absorbed the spirit spirit emitted by this spirit stone.
Nalan unparalleled stood beside him with the beauty thorn and carefully protected the Dharma for him.
As time went by, an hour later, with a crisp click, the top-grade spirit stone completely turned into powder.
Qin Haodong slowly opened his eyes, but a touch of disappointment flashed on his face.
Nalan unparalleled asked, "how's it going? Has it broken through?"
Qin Haodong shook his head. Compared with before, his golden elixir is just more round and solid, and it is also a circle larger, but there is still a distance from the later stage of golden elixir.
It seems that it is not enough to rely on the aura of a top-grade spirit stone to break through the later stage of the golden elixir after reaching the middle stage of cultivation.
He sighed. The higher his cultivation, the higher his demand for aura. It's really difficult to solve this problem on the earth where aura is scarce. At present, he can only rely on the top-grade spirit stone in the bronze head of the Chinese zodiac.
"Now a top-grade spirit stone is not enough for me to break through. I need at least one more. Now the top priority is to find another bronze head of the zodiac," he said
Nalan unparalleled said: "I don't know if Sir Owen helped us spread the news. Is it possible for him to hide the news, and then go to find the bronze head of the zodiac by himself, and then change the paintings in your hand when he comes back?"
