Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

Chapter 50  True Value of The Lion Statue

It was none other than the Buddhist lion statue that Jia Hao got from the Cai Family's treasury.

At first, Chen Mo thought it was just a crudely made Buddhist treasure, However, when he touched that, he could feel the delicately crafted mane of the lion, feeling its sharp and noble gaze.

' This looks like an imperial seal, but there is no seal below the base. It looks like a figurine which is kept in an auspicious location.'

' But the thing is…Why do I feel a gush of comforting warm the moment I held it? It's not a hallucination. Also…The violet sheen on it…'

' No! This can't be what am I thinking?!'

Chen Mo's expression changed as he thought of a possibility, making his hands tremble from excitement. " Little friend Jia, Would you like to come with me? I want to make some confirmations before I give my appraisal."

" Uh, Sure, Elder Chen. I would also like to see the authenticity of this item." Jia Hao was surprised as he nodded.

However, It was as if Chen Mo's elderly body was rejuvenated by a youthful vigor. Holding the figurine, he rushed straight to where Lin Cheng was talking with others.

" Ah, Elder Chen, You are here." Lin Cheng cupped his fist with respect. However, Chen Mo didn't mind it as he waved his hands. " Lin Cheng, Can you bring me rose water, sandalwood water, and Qinghai Green Tea?"

" Yes?"

Lin Cheng and others were stunned when they heard the sudden request of Chen Mo. They knew Chen Mo was one of the most respected appraisers of the entire Tianshu Nation.

Therefore, thinking this was a chance, Lin Cheng nodded hurriedly. " Elder Chen, Wait for a moment. I shall ask my men to bring them here."

" Yes, Thank you for helping me. I apologize for asking you so suddenly."

" No, It's fine, Elder Chen." Lin Cheng hurriedly shook his head. " After all, I believe since you are in such a hurry, the matter must be something of great importance."

Li Tao was also there as he looked at Chen Mo with surprise. He wondered why a kind and amicable old man like Chen Mo was so excited right now.

' What happened? Did he discover some treasures? If that's the case…"

As Li Tao was mused in his thoughts, the men of Lin Cheng arrived with the items requested by Chen Mo.

" Other than Lin Cheng and Little Jia, Please everyone leave this room." Chen Mo added, making Li Tao's expression twitch.

" Elder Chen, Shouldn't you also let us look at your discovery?" Li Tao spoke with a forced smile.

" I will announce the result after I confirm it myself." Chen Mo spoke coolly.

" Now, If you please….Give us some space."

Although his space was twisted like a dough, Li Tao left the room with other people. However, before going, he felt a cold gaze from Jia Hao, making him surprised.

' That brat…Isn't he the nephew of Su Yunqi? Why is he…Looking at me like that?'

' Could it…He knew about my plan?'

' No, How can a brat like him do that?' Li Tao shook his head as he left.

 ' But I wonder why Chen Mo kept him beside Lin Cheng? What is the thing he wanted to appraise?'

" Elder Chen, Everyone has left. Can you show me what you want to do?" Lin Cheng asked with a polite smile as he looked at Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo simply placed the lion figurine on the table and took out the three liquids. First, he poured sandalwood oil on it then rose water to wash the figurine.

After that, he slowly poured the lukewarm Qinghai Tea from a ceramic pot.

Jia Hao was also surprised when he saw Chen Mo doing that. Although he received basic information about the statue from the Sage's Divine Eyes, his knowledge is only limited to that.

But the moment he poured the warm tea on the statue, the statue glowed with a faint light mixed with golden and violet as a light wisp of violet smoke rose.

The smoke was very fragrant, but it didn't smell like rose water or sandalwood. However, the fragrance was pleasant, making someone feel calm and relaxed.

Chen Mo's body trembled as he almost knelt before it. " I…I never thought I would see this legendary thing. To think such treasure of heaven and earth actually exists."

" This…What is this, Elder Chen? This statue looks so…Fascinating." Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask.

" This…This is the phenomenon…The auspicious violet air covers the treasure. This statue…it's an authentic treasure of ancient."

" Treasure of ancient?" Jia Hao asked with surprise.

" The essence of gold is also known as the Treasured Gold, which is extremely rare like Imperial Jade. Even a gram of it can cost an astronomical sum of money."

" Hmm, How should I say? You can say it's a true antique, a treasure which possesses some supernatural power."

" This…This statue, It's filled with intense Yang energy. And the material…I think it's the legendary gold essence which only can be found in the deepest and oldest gold mines."

" The essence of gold is also known as the Treasured Gold, which is extremely rare like Imperial Jade. Even a gram of it can cost an astronomical sum of money."

" However, this statue…It's made with more 500gms of Treasure Gold. This is simply too…precious." Chen Mo sighed.

" Never in my life thought I would see such a treasure. Little Jia is so lucky to have this."

" I see, Elder Chen. I guess then it's a legitimate item." Jia Hao smiled as he took the statue back. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

" As you said, It is filled with intense Yang energy and gotten from a forgotten Buddhist monastery. It also has evil repelling abilities which can be used to fengshui inside a house."

" Haha, Indeed! Such treasure can bring unexpected luck and drive away evil from a household." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

Lin Cheng was surprised when he heard the conversation. " Little Jia, Since you are a friend of my daughter, I would be frank. Would you sell this to me?"

" Hoho, Lin Cheng, Do you want to buy it?" Chen Mo chuckled. " How much do you think you can pay for it?"

" Ten million?" Lin Cheng was surprised. " How about thirty million?"

Jia Hao shook his head. " Uncle Lin, It's not like I don't want to sell you this. But…How about we let Elder Chen appraise the value of this treasure?"

" Well, Then what do you say, Elder Chen? I am very attracted to this piece of statue." Lin Cheng looked at Chen Mo.

" Well, Its price can easily cross a hundred million Yuan." Chen Mo smiled.

" What? A hundred million?" Lin Cheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

" In fact, There is one of my friends so urgently requires such treasure. How about I ask him to meet you, Little Jia?" Chen Mo smiled.

" As you wish, Elder Chen. I have complete faith in you. I hope you won't disappoint me." Jia Hao smiled as he took the statue with him.

" And, Uncle Lin, Don't be too sad. I might have some other treasures that are made from Treasured Gold. So, Would you like them?"

" What? You do?" Lin Cheng became happy instantly. " Very well, Xiao Hao. I won't hesitate to buy if it's a cheaper and genuine piece."

" However, I don't need money, Uncle Lin." Jia Hao's smile slowly turned into a sly grin.

" Elder Chen, Uncle Lin…Would you help me to take down a person?"
