As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal Chapter 211 – 211 Emperors’ Relics! Major Museums Go Crazy! Bring 50 Billion! Come and Buy Treasures! (3)

211 Emperors’ Relics! Major Museums Go Crazy! Bring 50 Billion! Come and Buy Treasures! (3)

This meant that the imperial dragon robe had witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty, making it an item of great significance.

Moreover, such clothing represented the pinnacle of fashion and craftsmanship in that era. After all, would the emperor’s most important attire not be the product of the finest craftsmanship? A robe that was unparalleled in meaning, craftsmanship, and materials was truly worth a billion.

After hanging up the phone, Long Jianfei clenched his molars and said, “Little Zhang, go find wealthy sponsors immediately. We need to raise 2 billion yuan!”

“2 billion yuan?” Xiao Zhang almost fainted upon hearing this, wondering how the sum had suddenly become so large.

“Yes, we need to secure 2 billion yuan first! Make it 3 billion, actually. I am worried that the folks from the Shanghai Museum have prepared too much money. We need to be prepared. The more money we bring, the better our chances!”

Indeed, the more money they had, the higher their chances of securing the item. Although 3 billion yuan seemed excessive, they needed to account for any unforeseen circumstances. Who knew if the museums would go crazy bidding? Besides the imperial robe, there might be other items worth competing for as well.

The treasures that the rebel king had stored in the mountain cave, climbing so high to hide them, were certainly exceptional.

If they could manage to secure the imperial robe and had extra funds left, it was worth acquiring the remaining relics as well.

…

…

Meanwhile, the folks from the National Museum were also heading towards Dalong Mountain. Although the National Museum was second only to the Forbidden City, it did not enjoy the same level of prestige. Its presence was somewhat low-key, but its overall influence was undoubtedly much stronger than that of the local museums.

…

…

As for Luo Feng, he naturally did not tear open the tiger skin.

Although his fans were urging him to do so, he was not foolish enough to risk oxidizing the precious item contained within and incurring significant financial losses, not to mention stoking the wrath of the antique world.

Standing next to the second box, Luo Feng lifted the lid and saw a familiar square wooden box inside. Could it be an imperial jade seal? The size of this box was strikingly similar to the one he had found under the waterfall.

“Is this not the box that held the jade seal of the imperial edict?” a viewer asked.

“My goodness, could it be that Rebel King Li had stolen all 24 imperial seals of the Ming dynasty?” another speculated.

“Old Luo is really lucky; all of it belongs to him now!”

“The boxes seem to be custom-made… They might not all contain jade seals, but they definitely hold valuable items.”

When Luo Feng opened the topmost square box, it was not a jade seal inside. Instead, it was a tiger-head plaque with a golden hue.

“Is this a tiger-head gold-plated military talisman?”

“It matches perfectly with the one we found earlier—one for the left and one for the right!”

Luo Feng remarked in surprise.

This Li Zicheng was indeed very cautious. He had divided these two items and stored them separately. Seeing the other boxes stored within the chest, Luo Feng had a guess in his mind. They were likely all items which represented an official’s power.

Just as he expected, he found a jade seal. The engraved characters at the bottom read: “Treasure of the Imperial Mandate”.

Luo Feng laughed, “Haha, the set is finally complete! The jade seal is here, and both tiger-head gold-plated military tokens are united!”

Luo Feng continued to examine the items. This jade seal was well preserved, unlike the previous one which was damaged.

“I do not understand. Didn’t this guy already become an emperor? He ruled for 42 days! Why would he still want to keep the Ming dynasty’s jade seal?”

“Uh, can’t he keep it as a souvenir?”

“Who would ever dislike having more valuable items?”

“Do you guys even know? If, in the future, Li’s own influence becomes insufficient, he could have a child pretend to be the last Ming dynasty’s Zhu San Crown Prince or something, and with such a token, he could deceive the entire world!”

“Awesome! So, he’s holding the emperor hostage to command the nobles?”

“The bad*ss general truly knows the ins and outs!”

“Just look at him, the bad*ss general is a loyal minister!”

“Once a b*dass general, always a badass general!”

Luo Feng opened the third box. It contained not a jade seal, but an ivory carving. The carving was of a majestic eagle spreading its wings.

The eagle was exquisitely crafted and was very lifelike, clearly the work of a top-tier artisan. Placed alongside the jade seal, it might also be a treasure from the palace or a plaything of the emperor.

“It’s an ivory carving from the palace!”

Luo Feng said, and then returned the item to the box. With the jade seal and tiger-head plaques already discovered, no one was as excited about the carving.

“Ivory items like this were typically tributes in ancient times since there were very few elephants in ancient China. Even now, ivory is quite rare!”

Nowadays, ivory products are essentially contraband on the market. However, the rarer an item is, the more valuable it becomes. If someone wishes to buy it, they can only do so through illegal channels.

“Let’s check the fourth box!”

Qin Hao opened the fourth small box in the container. Inside was a pure white jade pendant, adorned with four small golden dragons.
