57: Royal Treasure

Upon hearing Julia's words, Qin Yun immediately became excited.

His blood began to flow faster, his eyes burning as he stared at the warehouse on the stage.

His judgment was correct; the nine dragons precious sword was likely inside this warehouse.

If the scabbard and sword were gathered together, the nine dragons precious sword would be a national treasure-level rarity.

No, its value and historical significance were far more precious than ordinary national treasures.

The scabbard of the nine dragons precious sword was made of shark skin, inlaid with red and blue sapphires, and the hilt was carved with nine golden dragons, symbolizing auspicious meanings like 'Nine Returns to One' and 'Imperial Power Endures Forever'.

This sword was forged with human blood. At each stage of completion, craftsmen had to nourish it with blood. Over forty-nine days, nineteen people died from blood loss due to the sword, giving it divine power and the ability to cut through iron like mud.

Moreover, the five famous figures who stole the sword all met unnatural deaths.

This added a lot of mystery to the nine dragons precious sword.

Thus, in the eyes of those who knew, the nine dragons precious sword symbolized a divine artifact, only to be possessed by virtuous individuals.

Many Tycoons and museums would pay a huge price for this sword!

After the bidding began, a wave of price increases surged on the field.

The price quickly reached one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

And many people were still competing fiercely to bid, making the competition very intense.

Qin Yun was determined to win this warehouse. Seeing everyone bidding so fiercely, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

However, outsiders couldn't see any change in his expression.

The more critical the moment, the calmer Qin Yun became inside.

At this point, worrying about whether he had enough money was meaningless.

Finding a way to secure the warehouse was the most important thing.

When the price reached two hundred and ten thousand dollars, he finally made his bid.

"Four hundred thousand!"

Hearing such a large jump in the bid from the VIP box.

Everyone on the field was stunned.

The person in the box must have a significant background, and their voice sounded very confident.

Once the momentum of bidding paused, everyone began to wonder how much the items in the warehouse were worth.

What if there were no Hollywood memorabilia?

Or if they weren't used in famous movies or TV shows, they wouldn't be worth too much.

Were all the weapons stored inside crafted by masters?

What if most were made by apprentices?

Then they wouldn't be worth much.

Even if crafted by masters, prices generally ranged from two to three thousand dollars.

Could buying this warehouse for four hundred thousand dollars actually turn a profit?

Hearing the Auctioneer's countdown, Qin Yun felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He had less than five hundred thousand dollars in cash. If he could secure this warehouse for four hundred thousand dollars.

Gathering the nine dragons precious sword, a national treasure, would be the best outcome.

However, when the countdown reached "one," the Fat Boss suddenly raised the bid.

"Four hundred and ten thousand."

Brother Wu Ying stood up, staring at Qin Yun with a mocking smile on his face.

Many Tycoons and bosses had come here, and that fat guy started a trend.

Three or four others began to bid sporadically.

Qin Yun's heart sank; his well-laid plan had been ruined by Brother Wu Ying.

He stubbornly bid four hundred and eighty thousand dollars, all the cash he could muster.

But he was quickly outbid.

He returned to the sofa, sitting down with disappointment and unwillingness all over his face.

Qin Yun clenched his fists, filled with hatred for Brother Wu Ying in his heart.

He was so close to gathering the nine dragons precious sword.

If someone else won this warehouse, he didn't know if he'd ever encounter the sword's blade again.

Seeing Qin Yun somewhat disappointed, Julia was about to use her own money to help him secure the warehouse.

Hearing Arnold bid from inside the room, she was momentarily stunned.

"Six hundred thousand!"

Arnold wanted to befriend Qin Yun. Seeing how much Qin Yun cared about this warehouse but was constrained by cash, he directly added one hundred thousand.

Hearing it wasn't Qin Yun's voice, Brother Wu Ying wasn't sure what valuable items were in the warehouse.

When his boss asked if he should raise the bid, Brother Wu Ying shook his head.

He feared spending a large sum only to find the warehouse's contents weren't worth much, which might offend his boss.

Besides, since the warehouse wouldn't fall into Qin Yun's hands, there was no point in competing further.

In the end, the warehouse was secured by Arnold for six hundred thousand dollars.

Qin Yun looked at Arnold with some confusion. If this person had won the warehouse based on his own judgment, Qin Yun would keep his distance.

"Qin, this warehouse now belongs to you. Consider it a meeting gift from me."

Seeing Qin Yun's puzzled expression, Arnold explained with a smile, "I might need your help in the future and hope you can assist me."

"Don't worry, no matter what's in this warehouse, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

"You don't need to overthink it; six hundred thousand isn't much to me. I believe in your potential, so consider this an investment in you!"

Hearing Arnold's words, both Qin Yun and Julia were stunned.

A six-hundred-thousand-dollar warehouse meant nothing in this person's eyes.

And it was given as a meeting gift to Qin Yun.

How wealthy was this person?

What could he possibly need Qin Yun for?

Qin Yun knew the nine dragons precious sword was in the warehouse.

Such a rare and precious treasure, he couldn't miss it no matter what.

"Thank you so much. This warehouse is very important to me. In the future, if there's anything you need, just say the word, and I'll do my utmost to help."

Qin Yun had a clear understanding of himself; he would become a boss, but not now.

In the U.S., befriending a boss related to Warehouse Auctions was very necessary.

This person was so generous, surely they had significant influence.

The potential he showed was mainly in Warehouse Auctions.

Based on Arnold's earlier words, this person probably just wanted him to participate in Warehouse Auctions.

So Qin Yun accepted the gift with peace of mind.

With his Profound Vision Treasure Eye ability, he could repay this person later.

"It's nothing. With your ability, you'll surely have money later. I'm just helping out."

"The next warehouse is the last one; you should seize the opportunity!"

Arnold waved his hand, not making a big deal out of helping Qin Yun.

He was very curious about how Qin Yun would view the next warehouse.

Hearing Arnold's words, Qin Yun quickly adjusted his mood.

The screen was showing footage of this warehouse from before.

This warehouse was discovered in a castle in Great Britain, a stone-built treasure storage room.

The Auction Organization somehow managed to move the entire stone room here.

Through footage shot from gaps.

Inside were all medieval pirate treasure chests.

Seeing this, everyone on the field became excited.

If they weren't mistaken, this warehouse likely contained various antique treasures, the best of this batch.

Qin Yun found these treasure chests somewhat strange.

The footage was too eerie, almost like a scene from a game.

Was the Storage Company that good, not even opening these antique treasure chests to check?

Though he had doubts, what if it was real?

He still activated his Profound Vision Treasure Eye.

Inside, there was only faint green light, with the rest of the treasure light being white.

Qin Yun was dumbfounded.

Was the Storage Company up to something?

Directly faking it?

That didn't make sense; ruining their reputation for such a small amount of money wasn't worth it!

Probably, the Warehouse Company found the treasure chests suspicious, possibly fake, and decided to auction them off?

After the auction started, the competition was very fierce.

The bidding quickly reached one million dollars.

Brother Wu Ying and that fat guy went crazy, bidding with all their might.

"Qin, why aren't you bidding? There might be royal or pirate treasures left inside."

"If there are a few precious antiques inside, you could earn at least tens of millions of dollars."

Seeing Qin Yun not bidding and still looking calm, Arnold reminded him.

Qin Yun shook his head: "This warehouse is likely not worth much."

After saying this, he didn't look at the warehouse again and returned to the sofa to take a sip of sparkling water.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Arnold trembled with excitement.

The Eastern Kid could see it; he wasn't refraining from bidding due to lack of money.

He stepped forward and tightly grasped Qin Yun's hand.

"A prodigy, a prodigy!"

"Truly a genius youth. You're the person I've been looking for, for twenty whole years!"
