Chapter 199 - 199 Netizens, Dumbfounded! The Jade Seal of Emperor Wanli from the Ming Dynasty? (2)

199 Netizens, Dumbfounded! The Jade Seal of Emperor Wanli from the Ming Dynasty? (2)

“Yeah, I used to think that they all used the same jade seal of Emperor Qin Shihuang!”

“Last time, that eunuch’s official seal alone was already worth several billions of yuan. How much is this jade seal worth?”

“It might be several times more?”

“I agree.”

While they were discussing, they also dried their clothes by the fire.

Taking advantage of the flames, the wealthy second-generation heirs also decided to roast some yams.

Li Shishi, who was nearby, helped peel the yams.

Naturally, the young girl was not doing it for the sake of Luo Feng alone. Everyone would get their share, but Luo Feng would undoubtedly be the first to receive the meal.

Nevertheless, it was not only Li Shishi who held such high praise towards Luo Feng, as many of the other wealthy heirs had also treated him like a divine figure.

He was a capable person worthy of admiration, after all.

For example, when playing video games, it is normal for a group of people to gather around and worship a gaming expert…

…

After eating and drinking their fill, Luo Feng made a call to the aviation company he had previously liaised and arranged for a helicopter to transport the treasures down the mountain.

The villagers at the foot of the mountain were once again dumbstruck by Luo Feng’s findings.

What the hell?

He’s still going on?

He has dug out even more of the rebel king’s treasures?

Initially, they thought that Luo Feng’s initial find had been the entirety of the rebel king’s ransacked loot, but never had they expected Luo Feng to locate even more treasures!

As a result of Luo Feng’s discovery, many of them were even heading up the mountain as well in hopes of a third treasure site, believing that if there was a second treasure site, there could be a third too.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard these people tried, they could never find any remaining treasure of the rebel king within the vast mountain range.

“Brother Luo~”

Suddenly, Luo Feng received a phone call.

The charming voice of an older sister-figure came through the line, soft and enticing.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it was Qin Rubing.

The long-legged beauty could not help but glaze over the discovery of the precious imperial jade seal.

“Hmm, speak properly, what’s the matter? Why are you calling me brother in such a seductive manner?”

“It’s definitely not because I want to be your little sister~”

Luo Feng pretended not to know.

The person on the other end of the line rolled her eyes through the phone.

“You don’t want to be my older brother, huh? Fine, then, what about becoming my younger brother instead…”

“Alright, alright, enough with the jokes.”

“Luo Feng, my auction is about to start! Shall I auction off the jade seal and the tiger-shaped gold-plated plaque you found for you?”

“Thanks, but no thanks! There’s no need to trouble you over these two items, though feel free to auction off the gold and silver! Hehe!” Luo Feng chuckled.

“Sure, you’re just going to give me just the gold and silver and keep the good stuff for yourself, huh? I see how it is!” Qin Rubing snapped.

“What do you propose, then? Do you have the means to go against the government?”

“On second thought, yeah, that makes sense!” Qin Rubing was a logical person, now that Luo Feng had suggested the possibility of the government purchasing these goods, she could foresee just how outmatched she was in the blink of an eye.

“Of course, I will mention that the items were originally intended for the Rare Treasure Pavilion auction house, but its beautiful young mistress has decided not to auction off these two items in support of the government!”

“Well, thank you!” Qin Rubing said with a light smile. “Once I’m done with the auction, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“How about another day?”

“What?”

Immediately following that, the phone call ended with a series of beeping tones.

Qin Rubing was not given the chance to scold him.

…

…

Luo Feng’s crew spent their night on the mountain.

Everyone was excited and happy.

Many wealthy second-generation heirs mentioned that the trip was truly worthwhile, and that their latest expedition was far more thrilling than excavating ancient tombs.

Although the gold and silver treasures were somewhat monotonous, the visual experience was truly a sight to behold.

As chest after chest of these precious minerals emerged, their glittering surface left everyone dazzled.

Needless to say, that day, Dalong Mountain became several times busier, with many people carrying shovels and metal detectors heading up the mountain.

From time to time, groups of people could be spotted.

It was not just random folks from other counties, however, as the local villagers had also rushed up the mountain in droves, still believing that there must be more of the rebel king’s treasures to be found.

“Little Luo, are you awake?”

In the morning, after Luo Feng had eaten a piece of toast that Li Shishi had baked for him, he spotted two familiar faces.

It was Wang Yousheng and Master Zhong.

“Little Luo, is the tiger-shaped gold-plated plaque still with you?”

“Of course, it is!” After finishing the remaining toast in a few massive bites, Luo Feng amswered with a smile.

“Great!” Wang Yousheng replied with a bitter smile, “We heard that you found a precious jade seal yesterday, so we wanted to come and see it for ourselves!”

Of course, even state-owned museums or the wealthiest of families could only take a look at such an item.

When it came to buying it, the item was completely out of their means to purchase it.

After all, the government was bound to come asking for it.

“Indeed, it is one of the 24 treasures of the Ming dynasty! However, it is quite damaged. I guess many people must have fought over it in the past?”

Luo Feng sighed and continued, “Although this tiger-head plaque appears intact, you should know that there should be another half to it. Only when they are combined do they hold significant value.”

…

“Good morning, Luo Feng!”

Somehow, after hearing Luo Feng promising to put in a good word for Qin Rubing towards the government, Luo Feng had gained a favor from the authorities, when Qin Rubing spotted Luo Feng, she beamed with joy.

She had also come to the mountain to help transport the chests of gold and silver down.

“Little Qin, you’re here too? Hurry, hurry, we need you to appraise the jade seal and the tiger-shaped plaque!”

These people were experts, and they enjoyed teasing Qin Rubing.

However, Qin Rubing was aware of this, and she did not mind.

“Items like the jade seal are quite special. There haven’t been many transactions of this kind in the private market!” she explained.

“The value of the jade seal is hard to estimate, considering its rarity and the lack of reference points for its price. As for the tiger-shaped gold-plated command token, it’s true that it would be worth more if both halves were present, but even as it is, it still holds considerable historical and cultural value.”
