Chapter 303: Emperor Qjn ‘s Elixir of Immortality! Can it Truly Grant Eternal Youth? (2)
EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“After extensive evaluation by numerous jewelry experts, mineralogists, historians, and archaeologists, it was determined that the legendary Suihou Pearl was indeed a diamond among gemstones.”
“The one before us, whether in terms of its material or the fact that it was unearthed from the tomb of Zhao Gao, aligned perfectly with historical records. Experts were confident that this was the Suihou Pearl, the diamond that had vanished for thousands of years, and a treasure from the Warring States period that shared its fame with the Heshi Bi.”
“I believe the starting bid should be no less than 3 billion!” one expert exclaimed.
Moreover, they identified it as a second-tier cultural relic. The implications were clear: it could be sold, and domestic tycoons could bid on it. Perhaps the officials believed that the material itself was valuable, but the historical and cultural value of the artifact was not particularly high. Therefore, it made little sense for the government to spend a fortune acquiring it. Instead, they might as well let domestic tycoons buy it and pay taxes on it. If a foreigner bought it, that would also be fine—it was just a diamond, mentioned during the Warring States period but had since vanished, leaving little historical record.
“Holy crap! 3 billion?!”
“No way!”
“A starting bid of 3 billion?”
The announcement of the starting bid momentarily silenced the entire room. Although everyone knew it was a massive diamond, the bid was still unexpectedly high. The crowd seemed as if they had been struck dead. “My goodness, a diamond worth 3 billion? What is going on?”
“Are diamonds really that valuable?”
“Diamonds are not actually worth that much, right? It is a Western plot to bind diamonds with love, making it so that marriages now require a diamond ring!”
“In reality, the production of diamonds worldwide is abundant, and they are not as rare as gold. But because they are associated with love, many foolish women are fond of them as gifts from men, causing diamond prices to soar.”
“You might not know this, but as long as the diamond is large enough, they can actually fetch quite high prices throughout the world!”
“Currently, the most expensive diamond in the world: Heart of Africa, valued at 400 million US dollars (about 2.64 billion yuan): The Heart of Africa is a diamond on the British Queen’s Sceptre, weighing 530.2 carats. It is the largest diamond obtained from the decomposition and cutting of the world’s largest “diamond – the Cullinan. Craftsmen spent 14 hours a day for a total of 8 months to polish it.
“Mountain of Light Diamond, value undetermined: The Mountain of Light Diamond weighs 108.93 carats and was discovered as a rough stone in 1304, making it the largest diamond in the world at the time. The Mountain of Light Diamond measures 36.oomm in length, 31.90mm in width, and 13.04mm in height. It now belongs to the British Royal Family and was recut during Queen Victoria’s reign, after which it was set in the British Queen’s Crown and placed in the Tower of London.
Star of Hope, 350 million US dollars (about 2.3 billion yuan): The Star of Hope was discovered in 1909 and weighs approximately 45-52 carats. Although its deep blue color is dazzling and it is a world-class treasure, it always brings misfortune to people and is also known as the “Diamond of Misfortune.” This ill-fated diamond has changed hands several times, and its owners have all died under mysterious circumstances. It is always accompanied by murder and robbery, making it an ominous object stained with blood.”
“Centenary Diamond: The Centenary Diamond weighs 55 carats and is a pear-shaped world-famous diamond of the double rose cut style, valued at 2 billion yuan.”
“Take a look at this information, and you’ll see how valuable large-carat diamonds really are.”
“Wow! Is it true? Aren’t these auction prices just hype?”
“Yeah, it seems too outrageous, doesn’t it?”
“Regardless of whether it’s hype or people who love them paying high prices, these auction records genuinely exist! Large-carat diamonds are indeed very rare!”
“So, what type of diamond is this Suihou pearl, and how many carats is it?” Everyone was now becoming interested in learning more about diamonds.

Qin Rubing had to explain it to everyone, “Looking at the color, you should know that this diamond is amber yellow. As for yellow diamonds, they are not very expensive among diamond colors. However, what you don’t know is that this diamond is 680 carats! In comparison, the previous 500-carat diamond found in Africa was the largest diamond in the world! But the Suihou Pearl has clearly broken the record, becoming the largest diamond in the world!” Of course, the size of a diamond does not determine its carat weight.
A diamond may look big or small, but its carat weight must be calculated.
It’s not about the size of the diamond.
This is because it is a rough diamond, and its exterior contains impurities.
“Wow!”
