Soon, the following day had arrived.

In the morning, a little past 8 0’clock, the auction hall was already packed with many people, even more so than the day before, by about one third. Of course, in the previous days, the seats had already been filled. However, this time, to accommodate more affluent attendees, Luo Feng added even many more chairs and benches.

After all, with such a packed room, it would be quite troublesome if someone needed to use the restroom.

“Little Qin, hurry up, you’ve worked hard. This is the last day, and I’ll thank you properly afterward!” Luo Feng stood outside the conference room, noticing how exhausted Qin Rubing looked. After all, being the auctioneer for so many days in a row would wear anyone down.

Not only did she have to study the background of each cultural relic, but she also had to memorize her lines. This job was not something that just anyone could do.

“You said it yourself, that you’ll thank me properly. Don’t just brush it off when the time comes!” Qin Rubing looked at the man in front of her, revealing a relieved smile. Luo Feng was indeed very considerate of the girls, making him a good boyfriend candidate in her mind. However, he was always looking for more, and was never quite satisfied with what he had.

Hehe, yes, I’ll thank you properly. How about I become your boyfriend for a day?

Of course, Luo Feng would never say such a thing out loud. Otherwise, with Qin Rubing’s fiery temperament, she would likely smashed his face in, or rip his mouth apart.

“Hello everyone!”

“Today might be the last day of Zhao Gao’s tomb artifacts’ auction!”

“Therefore, today’s auction items are all top-quality, the cream of the crop, the most treasured national treasures!”

“To all the wealthy people and museums, if you want to make a move, today is your last chance!”

“Our first item today is the stone tablet from Zhao Gao’s tomb, engraved with the self-aggrandizing words ‘Surpassing Heaven in Rank’!”

“I believe the starting price should be no less than 25 million!”

Of course, when they said that all the items were top-quality, they meant that the overall level was higher than the previous day. Not every single item was better than the day before. Because there were only a few top items, it was impossible to auction them all in one day.

Qin Rubing had already planned it out. The top ten cultural relics were to be auctioned on the last three days. The relics ranked 7 to 10 were auctioned two days prior, mixed with other items worth several tens of millions or more. The day before, relics ranked 4 to 6 were auctioned. On the final day, the top-ranked relics were auctioned, mixed with a dozen or so items worth tens of millions or even more.

“26 million!”

“30 million!”

“Just a broken stone tablet, not many people would want it, right?” “Only 30 million? That’s it? Today’s first item is not that interesting!”

In the end, the stone tablet with Zhao Gao’s “Surpassing Heaven in Rank” inscription was acquired by the Guangdi Museum for 40 million. It was not a particularly impressive price. As for the four characters, each was worth 10 million, making them truly worth their weight in gold. In any other auction, this would have been a sky-high price, but here, it did not create much of a stir.

Soon, the second item was brought up by a group of soldiers. Of course, it was not that the item belonged to the military; rather, they were responsible for transporting all the auction items over the past few days to prevent any accidents.

The soldiers left, and a long table soon appeared on stage, with a sword stand on it, holding a precious sword.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this item is the precious sword unearthed from Zhao Gao’s tomb!”

“After numerous rounds of identification by many historians and experts, we have confirmed its identity as the Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s side sword: the Tai’a Sword!”

“The origins of this sword are extremely luxurious. If it were a person, it would undoubtedly be a wealthy second generation heir, because it was created by two of the four great swordsmiths of the Warring States Period, Ou Zhizi and Gan Jiang!”

“This sword became famous due to a war between the Jin and Chu states.”

“And, of course, its owner was the widely acclaimed Emperor Qin Shi Huang, known as the First Emperor of all time!”

“In my opinion, such a sword should have a starting price of no less than 1.2 billion!”

“Now, please start bidding!” Qin Rubing said excitedly.

She was well aware that the Tai’a Sword had once sparked a war. As for how it triggered the war, many people might not know. The story was not complicated. Legend has it that the Tai’a Sword was a divine weapon, and upon its forging, the sword’s body naturally bore the characters “Tai’a.” The powerful king of Jin believed that only he was worthy of owning this divine sword and demanded it from the King of Chu, who refused. In a fit of rage, the Jin king sent troops to attack Chu.

The King of Chu held out for three years, and just as the city was about to fall, he intended to commit suicide. At that moment, a massive sword aura erupted, destroying everything in its path and sweeping away the Jin army.

Later, when Qin conquered Chu, the Tai’a Sword fell into the hands of King

Ying Zheng of Qin. In the “Historical Records: Biography of Li Si,” Li Si said, “Now, Your Majesty holds the jade of Kunshan, treasures of Suihe, the pearl of the bright moon, and wears the Tai’a Sword..”
