He saw a sword on the storage shelf next to him. The sword was not very long. The hilt and the scabbard were only about 70 centimeters long.
The most eye-catching thing was that the shape of the sword was very beautiful. The whole sword was like a mermaid. The hilt was carved wonderfully. It was the upper body of a long-haired beauty, and the scabbard was the lower body of the mermaid. It was carved with beautiful patterns and inlaid with several red gems.
Qin Haodong reached out and took the dagger in his hand. There were three traditional Chinese characters engraved on the hilt — Beauty Thorn.
Ordinary people would definitely regard this sword as a vase sword, but Qin Haodong felt strong Spiritual Qi and murderous intent from the sword. It was certain that this sword was not only beautiful but also could kill people.
He held the hilt and gently pulled it out. The body of the Beauty Thorn was exposed in the air, and a strong murderous intent came to his face.
"Good, it's a good sword!"
Qin Haodong praised. In terms of the quality of the sword, this Beauty Thorn was hundreds of times better than the Butterfly Sword at the auction. It was not inferior to the Doujigiri Yasutsuna in Yagyuu Yukime's hand. Even its appearance was more elegant and beautiful than the Butterfly Sword.
Sir Owen and Fred had been following him. They were quite surprised to see that Qin Haodong was just walking around in the treasure room and did not check any of the collections. At this time, he finally took a sword. They stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you like this sword? It's really beautiful. "
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "That's it. I'll choose six more."
"Okay, no problem."
Sir Owen readily agreed without any distress. He was just an ordinary person and could not see the value of the Beauty Thorn at all.
If it were other supreme power experts, they would definitely regard this sword as a treasure.
At this time, Nalan Wushuang, who was looking at antiques, also rushed over. When she saw the Beauty Thorn in Qin Haodong's hand, she immediately exclaimed, "What a beautiful sword."
Qin Haodong gave the Beauty Thorn to her and said, "It's a gift for you."
"Great, such a beautiful sword. I like it so much!"
Nalan Wushuang immediately took it happily.
After that, Qin Haodong walked around the treasure room again. Although the treasure room was very large, he had seen the whole place in less than an hour.
Unfortunately, apart from the Beauty Thorn, there was nothing else that could move him. There wasn't even a godly weapon like the Demon Vanquishing Staff.
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Finding a divine artifact required luck. If it was everywhere, it wouldn't be called a divine artifact.
Sir Owen came over and asked nervously, "Dear Qin, is there nothing you like here?"
He was afraid that Qin Haodong would take back those paintings if he couldn't find something satisfactory.
Qin Haodong seemed to have read his mind. He smiled and said, "Sir Owen, don't worry. I'm a man of integrity. Since I've agreed to exchange with you, I won't go back on my word.
But there's really nothing I like here, so I'll leave the rest to my girlfriend. "
After that, he asked Nalan Wushuang to choose the collection.
Since seeing Qin Haodong's magical skill of making ancient paintings, Nalan Wushuang had no interest in the paintings here.
She chose two pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, two pieces of porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and two vases from the Qing Dynasty. That was the end of the selection. These things were all fine works. If they were taken to the auction, they could be sold for at least 100 million yuan.
They left the treasure room and returned to the living room. The porcelain that Nalan Wushuang chose was sent back to the Li family by Dr. Owen.
However, Qin Haodong insisted on taking the chicken head with him. This thing was more important than anything else to him now. If something went wrong on the way, he would not be able to make up for it no matter what.
If it weren't for so many people watching, he would have put it into the Storage Ring. Nalan Wushuang also liked the Beauty Thorn so much that she took it with her.
The exchange was completed. Dr. Owen was very excited. He asked Fred to open a bottle of champagne that he had kept for many years and poured a glass for Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang. He said excitedly, "Dear Qin, cheers to our successful cooperation!"
Qin Haodong clinked glasses with him and then drank up the champagne in the glass.
Putting down the glass, he said to Sir Owen, "Sir, I want to ask you for help."
"Dear Qin, what can I do for you? We're friends now."
Qin Haodong said, "Sir Owen, I know you have a lot of friends in the storage industry. I still have some paintings of Picasso. I don't want to exchange for anything else. I just want to exchange for the 12 animal carvings of Huaxia.
"Can you help me publicize it and let the collectors who have the 12 animal carvings exchange with me? Or you can exchange their carvings for Picasso's paintings."
"What? You still have Picasso's paintings?"
Sir Owen's eyes widened. He was already very surprised by Picasso's sketches. He did not expect that this Huaxia man still had more.
If it weren't for the fact that they were of different races, he would really think that Qin Haodong was Picasso's illegitimate son. Otherwise, how could he have so many paintings of Picasso?
Qin Haodong said, "Yes, I still have some, but this time I won't exchange for anything else. I only want the 12 animal carvings."
He knew that Sir Owen was very influential in the world of collectors, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to collect as many bronze heads as possible.
Sir Owen asked, "Qin, can you tell me how many paintings of Picasso you have?"
Qin Haodong said, "Sir, to tell you the truth, I have three sets of Picasso's sketches. Today, I want to exchange one set with you. In addition, I have a children's album and a still life album. Each set has 10 sketches and 10 oil paintings of Picasso."
Fred said in disbelief, "You mean that you still have 30 paintings of Picasso?"
Qin Haodong nodded with a smile, "Yes!"
Sir Owen was stunned for a moment and then he came to his senses. He felt that he was going crazy. He had been looking for a painting of Picasso for years, but he could not find it. Now, there were so many paintings of Picasso.
He no longer cared about maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor. He shouted excitedly, "Qin, you must be Picasso's illegitimate son. That must be it!"
Qin Haodong said with a smile, "Don't make such a joke. I'm a pure Huaxia man."
After calming down, Sir Owen said, "I do know a lot of big shots in the collection industry. They all have a lot of collections. Maybe they have the 12 animal carvings.
"But I want to ask, how do you want to exchange with them? If it's not tempting, I'm afraid they won't take it out. "
Qin Haodong said, "Well, you can help me advertise a set of Picasso's paintings in exchange for a bronze head sculpture of the 12 animal carvings. Do you think this price is tempting enough?"
"Yes, it's really tempting!" Sir Owen was excited again. "I regret it now. Why did I take the snake head sculpture of the 12 animal carvings to the auction? It would have been better if I had kept it and exchanged it with you for Picasso's paintings."
He did not regret the exchange just now. Although the chicken head sculpture of the 12 animal carvings was only exchanged for three paintings of Picasso, it was voluntary on both sides. This was the principle of the antique industry.
He said again, "Qin, can you use Picasso's paintings to exchange for some other things in my treasure house? This time, I can let you choose two treasures of Huaxia for one painting. "
Qin Haodong spread out his hands and said, "Sir, there are indeed a lot of good things in your treasure house, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in them. All I want is the bronze head sculpture of the 12 animal carvings.
"If you can, you can exchange the things in your treasure house with others and then exchange them for my paintings."
"That's a pity." Sir Owen said, "But don't worry, I will definitely spread the news for you. Soon, someone will come to your door to exchange with you."
"Thank you, sir. Then we won't bother you anymore."
After saying goodbye to Sir Owen, Qin Haodong and Nalan Wushuang hurried back to the Li family's villa.
When they arrived home, Sir Owen had already sent someone to deliver the collection. Qin Haodong did not care much about these things and put them into the Storage Ring.
After dealing with everything, he made a simple defensive formation in the room and took out the chicken head sculpture. He undid the seal outside and took out the Upper Level Spirit Stone hidden inside.
He asked Nalan Wushuang to guard him and then began to absorb the Upper Level Spirit Stone to advance to the late stage of the Gold Core Realm.
This time was different from last time. Nalan Wushuang was already at the sixth level of the Supreme Power Realm, so it was enough for her to guard him.
Holding the Upper Level Spirit Stone in his palm, Qin Haodong began to operate it slowly. The Genuine Qi of Everlasting Green Wood absorbed the Spiritual Qi emitted by the Spirit Stone.
Nalan Wushuang stood beside him with the Beauty Thorn in her hand and carefully guarded him.
Time passed by minute by minute. An hour later, with a crisp sound, the Upper Level Spirit Stone completely turned into powder.
Qin Haodong slowly opened his eyes, but there was a flash of disappointment on his face.
Nalan Wushuang asked, "How is it? Have you broken through? "
Qin Haodong shook his head. Compared with before, his Gold Core was a little more solid and round, but there was still a long way to go before he reached the late stage of the Gold Core Realm.
It seemed that if he wanted to break through to the late stage of the Gold Core Realm after he reached the middle stage, the Spiritual Qi of one Upper Level Spirit Stone was not enough.
He sighed. The higher his cultivation was, the more Spiritual Qi he needed. It was not easy to solve this problem on earth where Spiritual Qi was scarce. At present, he could only rely on the Upper Level Spirit Stone in the bronze head sculpture.
He said, "Now one Upper Level Spirit Stone is not enough for me to break through. I need at least one more. Now the most important thing is to find another bronze head sculpture."
Nalan Wushuang said, "I don't know if Sir Owen helped us spread the news. Is it possible for him to hide the news and then find the bronze head sculpture himself to exchange for the paintings in your hand?"
