"Twenty thousand guan once...two thousand guan twice...two thousand guan three times. Congratulations to Mr. Lu on his successful bidding for this rare and fine purple jade crystal treasure gourd. At the same time, thank Mr. Lu for his support to Duke Chongguo and Ezhou frontline soldiers..."

Zhao Qi made three meticulous quotes and gave them a serious thanks to Lu Yuntai for his generous donation.

"Twenty thousand coins are too exaggerated. I'm afraid I can't afford it in this life!" Some of the guests lamented.

"Oh, I can't afford it, I dare not buy it!"

"The Lü family is indeed worthy of being the leader of the Qingyuan Mansion. It is hard to see such a generous gift!"

The price of 20,000 yuan has long exceeded the value of this treasure gourd. Everyone was talking and looked at him sideways, expressing their admiration and envy to Lu Yuntai in the second floor room.

There was a sound of footsteps on the second floor. Soon, Lu Yuntai and a few people were down the stairs, walked to the auction table and took the purple jade crystal treasure gourd in their hands to watch carefully. The depression on their face was slightly relieved.

Because of this fat man's trouble, the treasure gourd that could have been won for 10,000 yuan was actually spent 10,000 yuan more. When he thought of the price he blurted out in the end, Lu Yuntai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Fortunately, it is indeed expensive, but this treasure gourd is worth the money in his opinion.

This crystal clear and pure purple jade crystal is worth a lot of money. Coupled with the mysterious production process and natural shape, it is definitely the rarest treasure he has ever seen. None of them, Lu Yuntai believes that even in the palace, there is no second item that is more exquisite and beautiful than this, and it has truly reached the level of a rare treasure.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and the future value of this thing is definitely more than 20,000 yuan.

It’s a pity that it’s a little smaller, but it’s even more perfect if it’s bigger!

Carefully holding it in your hand to watch and play with it, Lu Yuntai was satisfied and a little regretful.

"You go to the quality warehouse to get the money for delivery!"

After carefully looking at the purple jade crystal treasure gourd, Lu Yuntai ordered the servants who came with him to get the money.

At this time, the charity sale was truly over, and the guests who came also began to say goodbye one after another.

"Wuliang Tianzun, Lu really has a connection with my Taoist school. Before, there was Lu Dongbin, a Taoist ancestor Chunyang, and now Lu Yuanwai generously donated a bag to buy this treasure gourd. The old Taoist understands this, so he said goodbye!" The old Taoist whispered and bowed his head to leave.

"The immortal elder is not busy leaving..." Before Zhao Qi could speak, the short and fat man stepped forward and grabbed the old Taoist priest's clothes.

"What else does the donor do?" The old Taoist priest stopped in confusion.

"Haha, to be honest, I didn't come for this little gourd. I just heard from outside that many people said that the Taoist priest showed a purple jade crystal treasure gourd that was more than a foot long on the street, but I don't know if it could be taken out to open my eyes. I was willing to buy it for a high price!" The short and fat man smiled and bowed to the old Taoist priest.

"And there are big treasure gourds?"

The guests who were still watching were surprised and then all their eyes fell on the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was not artificial, and nodded generously and said, "Yes, there is also a large purple jade crystal treasure gourd in this copper box. The old Taoist can open it for you to see, but first explain that this item will not be donated!"

"Haha, Taoist priest, don't worry, the charity sale has ended. How can I force the Taoist priest to donate another one? But I'm also curious about what the big treasure gourd looks like, so I'll ask the Taoist priest to open my eyes!" At this time, not only the short and fat man was interested, but Zhao Qi was also very excited.

"Since that's the case, the old Taoist will open it and let you see it!" The old Taoist turned his head and nodded to his disciple. He waved the whisk, and there was a click of the copper box lid in the young Taoist's arms. Sure enough, a big treasure gourd that was more than a foot long and was lying inside.

The old Taoist priest carefully took out the crystal gourd and placed it on the auction table.

"Wow~" All the guests who had not left were exclaiming and stirring violently, and they rushed up from all around to watch. Many guests who had already walked outside the door heard the exclamation and all returned to and squeezed in. The scene was in chaos in an instant.

At this time, two crystal bottles with almost the same color shape appeared together, in comparison, the big gourd was obviously more full of visual impact, just like a piece of pure purple crystal carved, seamlessly dressed in nature.

Look at this treasure gourd, and then look at the little treasure gourd in his hand. Lu Yuntai's face, which had just relaxed, looked ugly as if he was eating shit.

"What a treasure, this is a priceless treasure!"

"This thing should only exist in heaven, and has never been heard of in the world..."

"Master, how do you sell this... this treasure gourd?" Lu Yuntai asked excitedly with his face twitching.

"This thing is not sold!" the old Taoist priest shook his head.

"The small ones can be sold, why don't the big ones sell?" Lu Yuntai said in a very anxious tone.

Since the moment the copper box was opened, he was struck by lightning. Although the two bottles were almost the same in color, it was obvious that the big one looked like a true peerless treasure in his mind. In an instant, it washed away the desire in his heart like the Yellow River broke through, and it flooded into pieces and was out of control.

"Yes, yes, Taoist priest, this small one can be sold, why don't the big ones be sold? If it can be sold, you can offer a price!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Old Taoist Master, we all know that your purple jade crystal treasure gourd is expensive, but it still has a price. If you sell it, you can just make another one. Don't worry, as long as you want to sell it, you can just offer it!" Zhao Qi also hurriedly grabbed the old Taoist priest's sleeve robe.

"That's right, even though the old Taoist priest offered a price, Zhao Dalang is the big financial backer of our Qingyuan Mansion. He would not even blink a single eyelid. This time he donated more than 100,000 yuan to Ezhou this time!" Zheng Zhen and others standing behind Zhao Qi all shouted.

"This..." The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and nodded, "This big treasure gourd cannot be sold, but it cannot be bought alone?"

"What does it mean to not be able to buy it alone?" Someone couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Because this treasure gourd is not a single item, but a total of five pieces were spent over twenty years on the old Taoist, combining the number of five elements, so there are the purple jade crystal gourds refined from purple jade from Yanshan, the white jade crystal bottle refined from Kunlun, the green jade crystal lamp made from green jade from the East China Sea, the red jade crystal cup made from red sand from the South China Sea, and the golden jade crystal plate made from topaz in Zhongnan Mountain. These five treasures are a set, and together they can achieve the perfection of the five elements. Therefore, if you really want to buy them, then buy them together for a total price of 500,000 jin..."

As soon as the old Taoist priest had 500,000 guan, he was surrounded by a large area of ​​legs and feet, and many people covered their hearts with pale faces and retreated.

Zhao Qi said with a ugly expression: "Master Taoist, you are not sincerely trying to sell it. It's 500,000 yuan. I'm afraid that no one in the Song Dynasty can afford it except the emperor of the capital!"

"That's right, Taoist priest, don't scare me, you are too expensive!" Someone quickly agreed.

"Is it expensive? Haha..." The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and smiled, "It's all for today. This little gourd was made by Lao Taoist. It is used to store some elixirs on weekdays. Today, it will be donated, which can be considered as a contribution to the country. I originally planned to send the remaining five treasures to the capital to sell to the emperor, and then use the money to build a Taoist temple. Nowadays, everyone worships Buddha and builds temples, but we Taoist priests are poor and have no one to worship, so we can only rely on our own efforts. Goodbye..."

At the warning of the old Taoist priest, the young Taoist priest put the large crystal gourd into a copper box and put it away, then picked it up and prepared to leave.

"Master Wait..." The short and fat man jumped up and stopped the old Taoist priest.

"What else?" the old Taoist priest stopped.

"Since the Taoist priest is planning to sell it, why should he send it to the capital by seeking a distance? There are many people here, so why don't we find a quiet place to talk in detail!"

"Talk about it in detail, how to talk in detail, the old Taoist has already said just now that these five treasures are to be sold together, and a 500,000 yuan price cannot be lost!" The old Taoist priest's face was a little unhappy.

"Hey, the Taoist priest is not in a hurry. The price is another matter. But you said there are five treasures in total, but there is only one at the moment. Even if I buy them, I have to check out the other four treasures to pay. After all, it is 500,000 guan, not 50,000 guan..." The short and fat man quickly explained.
