Although the government had provided funding, without Luo Feng, many world-shocking cultural relics would never have been revealed to the public. In the field of cultural heritage, Luo Feng was undoubtedly a major contributor. In this industry, his status now surpassed any museum director, even the venerable Elder Long of the Forbidden City Museum.

“A plane from the military? I’ve never been on one. I’m grateful to our treasure-hunting team leader for providing such an opportunity for me!” Upon hearing this, Su Meiji’s face slightly changed, and she looked at Luo Feng enchantingly.

She nodded and said, “Do not worry. I will definitely attend your celebration banquet!”

After lunch, everyone was half-full. This was because they would have to attend the auction later, and frequent visits to the restroom would be inconvenient. Most of the food was rather dry but nutritious. The auction continued at 2 pm.

A day had passed, and the much-anticipated imperial jade seal had not yet been auctioned off.

Small artifacts sold for a total of 160 million yuan.

Such a transaction amount would be considered a grand event at any other auction, but here, it was trivial. The real treasures were still to come…

The next day, Luo Feng personally escorted Su Meiji to the airport. At 9 am, the auction resumed. This time, the focus was on pottery and bronze artifacts, all small items. The transaction amount reached 390 million yuan. Many celebrities, in order to attract the attention of the wealthy, naturally purchased a few items.

However, by the third day, the situation had changed. Luo Feng’s bronze coffin had been unearthed. That afternoon, after everyone had finished eating, they saw a large object over ten meters long in the secure storage area. It was a six-layer coffin with one outer layer. A group of experts were present to authenticate and assess the cultural relics.

By the fourth day, the total transaction amount had reached 2.72 billion yuan. Almost all the small items had been auctioned off. What remained were the larger and more valuable items. On the fifth day, not only did the number of people in the conference room not decrease, it increased dramatically. The 1500-square-meter conference room was nearly full that day. If there had been more tickets, even more people would have come to watch the auction. Luo Feng had met many wealthy individuals who had obtained tickets through backdoor vendors. Local television reporters and journalists from other sources had also come to interview and film the event.

“Damn, we’ve waited for five days, and it’s finally here!”

“The national jade seal? Is it finally going to be auctioned off today?” “I must say, Qin Rubing’s arrangement has driven people crazy. Just auction off the jade seal early so we can leave!”

“Not only does her arrangement drive people mad, but her figure does as well, especially those long legs!”

“That’s right, I, Old Li, have seen countless beauties, but this girl’s legs are like something out of an anime!”

“Unfortunately, she’s probably Luo Feng’s girlfriend. The other day, I saw the two of them talking and laughing in the empty conference room. Qin Rubing even pinched Luo Feng’s face!”

“They are indeed a talented and beautiful couple.”

Around 8 am, the auction was once again hosted by Qin Rubing. “Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at this set of chime bells! ”

“These are chime bells from the Qin Dynasty!”

“They are very similar to the Zenghouyi chime bells from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods!”

“We call this set of chime bells the ‘Zhao Gao Tomb Chime Bells’. They are a large-scale ritual musical instrument from the Qin Dynasty, reflecting the importance placed on rites and music during the dynasty’s governance. The chime bells have a total weight of 2,567 kilograms. The long bell frame measures 748 centimeters in length and 265 centimeters in height, while the short bell frame is 335 centimeters long and 273 centimeters high.”

“The Zhao Gao Tomb Chime Bells are the largest, heaviest, and most well-preserved percussion instruments among the world’s antiques. There are a total of 65 bells, covering all twelve musical tones. Each of the pot-shaped bells can produce two notes in a 3-degree scale.”

As Qin Rubing spoke, the audience’s excitement was undeniable.

“Holy crap! The first auction item of the day is already this thrilling?”

“Right, I didn’t expect it to be the Zhao Gao Tomb Chime Bells right away!”

“The starting bid for this must be at least 200 million yuan, right?”

“You’re way off with 200 million!”

“I heard it’s even more valuable in craftsmanship than the Zenghouyi chime bells!”

“So, 500 million?”

“Maybe even more!”

“Who knows? We’ll find out when Miss Qin announces it!”

“But it doesn’t really concern us; we’re just here to watch the excitement.”

Qin Rubing continued, “For such a rare treasure as the Zhao Gao Tomb Chime Bells, I will set the starting bid at 1 billion yuan!”
