"Look carefully, what is this!？”
Elder Chen's eyes widened in anger. Looking at this group of ignorant and incompetent businessmen who only knew how to buy, he was furious. They even called themselves players. What the hell? Was a national treasure for fun?
If he hadn't been in Pingle Town to inspect Treasure Trove Pavilion's branch, such a national treasure would have been covered in dust.
When the crowd heard Elder Chen's merciless scolding, they were not angry. In this circle, he was the authority. If he said there was a mystery, then there must be.
Humans were such creatures. When they saw people who were similar to them showing off in front of them, they would feel indignant and even hate.
However, if it was someone who far surpassed him and was simply incomparable, even if he pointed at his nose and scolded him, it would still be valuable advice.
Immediately, they followed Old Chen's instructions and rushed up to look at the broken porcelain bottle.
"Hiss ~ This is blue and white porcelain?"
"Indeed. This color and pattern can't be wrong.”
"I'm blind. I've lost a lot of face this time.”
"I don't know which dynasty it is from, but even if it's from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, it's already a sky-high price.”
"This…Who would have thought that the big vase was just a shell wrapped around a big jar? You can't blame us for being blind.”
There were all sorts of voices that were filled with bewilderment, lamentation, shame, and self-pity. But without exception, they all looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of amazement in their eyes.
They weren't surprised that Old Chen could tell. After all, Old Chen was almost seventy years old. When he entered university at the age of eighteen, he had been traveling around with the archaeological team. He had a broad knowledge and a strong memory. His sixty years of experience was not something that anyone could compare to.
Although Lu Xuan's manner of speech was extraordinary and he spoke calmly, unlike a young man, his face looked like he was in his twenties no matter how one looked at it. To be able to have such knowledge at such a young age, could he really have been brought up in his mother's womb?
"Why are there so many bubbles on this bottle? Why is the glaze uneven? Why would such a failed porcelain be brought into the soil?”
"Can't you use your brains to think?”
"This technique is called the Inner Universe. It's a disguise used by high-ranking officials in ancient times to prevent corruption.”
"This kind of craft is like putting a piece of clothing on porcelain. It can't completely fit the precious porcelain. Therefore, when the fresh clay is set, it must maintain a certain gap with the original object. When firing, the air in the gap will expand, causing the surface to be uneven and produce bubbles.”
"Especially the part of the bottle that extends upward. There will be an obvious bulge at the intersection of the bottle and the mouth of the can.”
"Therefore, any unearthed porcelain with such characteristics is almost 100% guaranteed to contain valuable treasures.”
After hearing Old Chen's explanation, everyone finally realized that a broken bottle had so many details.
Although Lu Xuan had already learned about this through the system, he was an unfamiliar face and was so young. No matter how perfect his words were, no one would believe him. They would just treat him as a self-proclaimed granny.
The key was that if he wanted to sell it at a high price, he had to spread the news through the mouth of others.
Previously, he had deliberately spoken rudely and provoked everyone in the antique street with the purpose of provoking a real expert to take a look.
Things were progressing so smoothly, and Lu Xuan was in a good mood. He laughed heartily and said,""Boss Chen, why don't you help me appreciate this bottle? Which era is it from?”
Old Chen was slightly stunned. Only then did he realize that he had overshadowed the host. He said apologetically,"No, this old man was showing off. Little brother chose this treasure at a glance, so he probably already had a plan.”
"However, I do have some experience in appraising the year, so it would be impolite to refuse.”
As he spoke, he took the small hammer and shattered the remaining outer shell as if he was walking on thin ice, revealing the true appearance of the blue-and-white porcelain statue.
It was a large jar the size of a fish tank. Its entire body was alternating between green and white. A swimming dragon surrounded the jar. One could even see how many scales were on its body. It was lifelike.
"This dragon pattern style and size, it should be the Yuan Dynasty blue and white dragon pattern big jar."”
Old Chen looked around carefully and said,""More than ten years ago, an identical Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white dragon-patterned jar was sold at an auction for a sky-high price of 54 million.”
The people in the crowd who were originally eager to bid for it immediately froze like frosted eggplants when they heard this.
Those who could afford antiques were all wealthy bosses. However, this was only an antique street after all, not a high-end auction house. Although there were many people with a net worth of more than 100 million, it was really rare to see someone who could spend hundreds of millions of cash to buy antiques.
However, Pingle Town's Antique Street was well-known. There were countless rich players from all over the world. The crowd that had just quieted down immediately shouted.
"Tell me your card number, I want 100 million!”
"You want Yuan Qinghua for 100 million? Didn't you hear Old Chen say that it's at least 100 million? I bid 120 million!”
"I bid 150 million!"
As these tycoons continued to bid, they finally reached the sky-high price of 180 million before gradually falling silent.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Xuan was going to make the final decision, complete the transaction, and make a huge profit, walking on the peak of his life.
However, Lu Xuan was unmoved and said indifferently,""I'm sorry, but those who spoke rudely just now are not for sale!”
