Yu Xianxian subconsciously looked at Grandpa Fu, who shook his head.
Yu Xianxian's brows furrowed even more, her delicate eyebrows drawn together tightly, and she looked at Li Chonglou.
"Master Hu, have you finished your explanation? The next round should start soon, we need to hurry."
Show off, I'll let you keep showing off.
Hu Tu snorted coldly. Li Chonglou's reaction was, in his eyes, feigning ignorance while being clever, or more crudely put, a dead duck acting stubborn!
However, he didn't expose him immediately. In his opinion, it was better to deliver a crushing blow than to peel away someone's pride bit by bit!
He immediately turned around, his back to the nine basins.
"Without seeing the items, the only way is to use one's perception to sense which one is a spiritual artifact."
Then, in the eyes of everyone, Hu Tu suddenly closed his eyes.
Just then, Ah Dong suddenly spoke up to interrupt, "Wait a moment!"
Hu Tu and everyone else turned their confused gazes towards him.
Ah Dong said solemnly, "Master Hu, you know Young Master Liu, and it's possible that you already knew beforehand which one is the spiritual artifact and which is not. In that case, even if you don't look, you can still point them out."
Liu Rui's expression changed instantly.
"What do you mean? Are you suspecting that Master Hu and I are faking it?"
His words clearly carried a hint of anger.
Ah Dong, having seen his fair share of big scenes, said calmly, "I'm just stating the facts. Otherwise, even if Master Hu points it out, it won't convince everyone."
Liu Rui's face had already become extremely gloomy. At this moment, Grandpa Fu also spoke up.
"What this young brother says is also true. Although I believe you, young Liu, wouldn't do such a thing, convincing the crowd is also an issue."
"How about this, Master Hu, you turn your back to us, and you can rearrange the positions. That way, this problem will be solved."
The "you" Grandpa Fu mentioned was referring to Li Chonglou.
And this method was indeed the best solution. Hu Tu immediately nodded and said, "No problem. True gold fears no fire. No matter how you change positions, I can sense it!"
Hu Tu turned around with full confidence. Ah Dong sighed inwardly and could only cast his gaze upon Li Chonglou.
This is all I can do to help you.
Li Chonglou smiled slightly. He casually had a few beautiful women swap the positions of the items. On the raised platform, the bidding was still fervent, so there was no need to worry about the sound of footsteps.
After about ten seconds, Li Chonglou nodded and said, "It's ready."
Under everyone's gaze, Hu Tu closed his eyes once more.
Whether it was as it should be or due to Hu Tu's personal ability, a full minute passed, and he still hadn't spoken.
At this moment, the first treasure had already been bought for 130 million. The host finally noticed the situation here.
Liu Rui gave a look, and the host, using his professional demeanor, expertly diverted the topic to buy them time.
However, the attention of the crowd below was still drawn over.
Those who were closer had been watching the drama unfold here. As word spread, everyone soon understood what was happening.
Are there cultivators or martial artists present?
Although everyone present was at least a millionaire, due to differences in social circles, not everyone could be associated with martial artists or even cultivators.
For a moment, everyone became very interested, and they even actively gathered around.
Seeing this, Ah Dong and Ah Hai exchanged glances again.
What should we do now? Everyone has been drawn over!
I hope this Hu Dong has some real skills, otherwise, we'll be in trouble today.
The two sighed simultaneously, then looked at Li Chonglou and surprisingly found that compared to them, this guy was clearly much calmer.
As if he wasn't the one participating in the gamble!
Another minute passed. Just as everyone was starting to lose patience, Hu Tu finally spoke.
"At the six o'clock position behind me, please move the item a little closer."
Liu Rui immediately gave a signal to the staff, who stepped forward with the tray two steps closer.
Hu Tu tilted his head slightly, remained silent for a few more seconds, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
With a smile, he said, "The spiritual artifact I've chosen is this one."
Liu Rui was well aware of his abilities and did not hesitate to say, "Remove the red cloth."
The next second, when the staff uncovered the red cloth, a transparent glass bottle appeared in everyone's sight.
"What kind of antique is this? Is it a glass or jade bottle?"
"Are you stupid? Of course, it's made of jade if it's here, but is there any jade in the world that can be made to this extent?"
The bottle was only palm-sized and had no patterns on it. Judging by its appearance, it was no different from an ordinary medicine bottle, but its transparency was rarely seen, even more so than glass!
It didn't look like it was made of jade either.
However, there were some connoisseurs present, and soon someone exclaimed.
"This is truly a spiritual artifact! It should be newly unearthed. Judging by its style, it's not artificially made."
Spiritual artifacts are also divided into artificial and natural. However, in terms of value, neither has an absolute advantage. It's just that artificial ones are relatively more precious than natural ones.
Of course, from the perspective of ordinary people, natural ones should be more precious. But when it comes to spiritual artifacts, the prerequisite for artificial spiritual artifacts is that the materials must be up to standard.
Only after meeting the prerequisite can it become a spiritual artifact after years of evolution.
As for naturally formed spiritual artifacts, sometimes the condition they meet is only the spiritual energy they contain, not their inherent material.
Therefore, artificial ones are relatively more precious.
However, even so, as long as it is a spiritual artifact, it is definitely a grade higher than ordinary antiques.
The concentration of spiritual energy it contains can also be converted into years. Generally speaking, even a slight trace can be considered pre-Tang Dynasty!
So, after the man exclaimed, the crowd quickly erupted in a chorus of gasps.
Another spiritual artifact! How many good things has Liu Fang prepared this time? You know, in the past, having one spiritual artifact appear at an evening party was considered a grand event!
Grandpa Fu was the first to praise, "Master Hu is indeed a member of the Antiques Association. Such ability must be rare even within the Antiques Association."
Hu Tu smiled faintly, "You flatter me, Grandpa Fu. Our association is full of hidden talents, and there are many people more capable than me. I'm just an ordinary member."
This was not him having a change of heart and being humble, but the truth of the matter.
The current era has changed greatly compared to Grandpa Fu's time. Many capable masters no longer keep their skills hidden, choosing to openly accept disciples.
The result of this was that each generation was stronger than the last!
To describe their current generation, "prodigies are born in abundance" would not be an exaggeration.
