Chapter 4: Get the Reward, Eyes That Clear the Clouds

"In the first round of the Chinese Collection Competition, contestant Su Yuan was the first to identify an agarwood box with phoenix pattern made during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and received 80,000 points!"

When the two hosts saw this, they announced loudly in a tone of surprise and admiration.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

“This wooden box is actually worth 80,000!”

“I thought the anchor received a jade Ultraman, but it turns out that this box is the treasure!”

"Oh my god, it turns out we are the fools!"

“Teacher Zixuan just offered 30,000 points to change the anchor but he refused. It turns out it’s worth 80,000!”

"Teacher Zixuan is too cunning, he wants to make 50,000 yuan right away!"

Teacher Zixuan next to him couldn't help but look embarrassed, rubbed his nose and smiled:
"This... is business. Buying at a low price and selling at a high price to earn some interest is a natural thing!"

"What do you mean by chicken thief? What you said is too harsh!"

Su Yuan returned to his seat with a calm expression, without showing any sign of complacency.

At this moment, a reminder sounded in his ears:

"Ding! The host has identified a rare treasure. The novice mission has been completed!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Eyes that can clear the clouds and see the fog!"

"The eyes that can see through the fog and clouds can see the essence of things through their appearances. They even have the power to separate the false from the true, and can find the real treasure among the dust!"

"Congratulations to the host for receiving the appraisal reward: 10,000 yuan!"

As the prompt sounds came one after another, Su Yuan's eyes suddenly became brighter, and everything became clearer in his eyes.

At the same time, a translucent attribute bar appeared in front of him:
[Host: Su Yuan! ]

【Age: 22 years old! 】

[System: Live treasure appraisal system! ]

[Special ability: Eyes that can see through the fog! ]

【Property: 10,000 yuan! 】

At the same time as the attribute bar appeared, Su Yuan's phone also rang with a reminder. When he opened it, he saw a message:
"Bank X: Your account ending in XXXX has received a cash remittance of RMB 10,000!"

Su Yuan was suddenly delighted.

Ten thousand yuan arrived in my account so quickly.

This ten thousand yuan is the appraisal reward for the Ming Dynasty Jiajing agarwood box with phoenix pattern!

In just a few minutes, he got 10,000 yuan, which could be said to be his first pot of gold after graduating from university!
However, Su Yuan did not show any joy on his face and remained calm.

After all, he has lived two lives and has seen a lot of the world. Ten thousand yuan is not enough to make him show any joy.

His gentle and elegant demeanor quickly won many viewers over.

"The host is pretty good. He doesn't rush for profit, and he doesn't get carried away by the profit. He really has the demeanor of a great man!"

"How did the host keep his composure just now? If it were me, I would definitely get close to Zixuan's face and taunt him!"

"Exactly. Look at how happy Zixuan was laughing just now. Now he can't laugh anymore!"

"I'm a fan! I love this kind of anchor so much!"

"Yeah! At least it's better than that smirking Zixuan!"

Soon, the number of people in Su Yuan’s live broadcast room reached 20,000.

Next to him, the popularity of Zixuan's live broadcast room was rapidly declining, from 50,000 people just now to 30,000. Many friends jumped directly from his live broadcast room to Su Yuan's live broadcast room.

Seeing this situation in the live broadcast room, Zixuan couldn't help feeling a little depressed, but he still had a smile on his face:
"My dear, the fish you catch first must be a small one. I will identify a big one for you later!"

"I just don't believe that a program like China Collection, which has such a huge influence, can't come across a single real thing!"

As he was speaking, a fellow collector came over holding a porcelain bowl.

Zixuan's eyes lit up immediately:
"Oh my god, this thing is good!"

This is a blue and white bowl with floral patterns from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. There are six lotus flowers on the bowl body and inside the bowl. The brushstrokes look crisp and straightforward, the colors are bright, the leaves are large and full, and the white space is simple and neat.

Moreover, the body of the porcelain bowl is also delicate and warm, which fully conforms to the characteristics of early Ming blue and white porcelain. Zixuan couldn't let it go immediately, and while looking at it carefully with a magnifying glass, he kept exclaiming:
"Oh my god, oh my god..."

"Finally I saw something good!"

As he spoke, he carefully turned the porcelain bowl over and examined the seal on the bottom of the bowl:
"Made in the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty, the seal is correct, it is an absolute treasure!"

"Good fellow, Teacher Zixuan, I would not come if I wanted to, but once I came, I came with a big one!"

"A Ming Dynasty Hongwu blue and white coiled flower bowl like this must be worth hundreds of millions!"

After hearing his words, the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

"A Ming Dynasty blue and white bowl worth hundreds of millions! Oh my god!"

"Teacher Zixuan has sent it out. One piece is worth thousands of other people's!"

"This immediately makes everyone else look better!"

"This treasure may allow Teacher Zixuan to enter the next round directly!"

Zixuan looked at it carefully again and was already certain in his heart.

It is indeed a rare treasure in the world!

The body and glaze are real, the patina is real, the seal is real, and the patterns and craftsmanship are all real!

Absolutely authentic without a doubt!
"Okay, I'll take this thing. I'll definitely make sure you make it to the finals!"

Zixuan was overjoyed and immediately accepted the porcelain bowl, then registered the name of the participating collector.

On the side, Su Yuan looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand and frowned quietly.

This porcelain bowl...

Something seems wrong!
A text appeared before his eyes:

[Item: Ming Hongwu Blue and White Flower Bowl! ]

【Quality: Porcelain! 】

[Historical value: quite high! ]

[Origin: It was fired by skilled craftsmen during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty! ]

【Value: One million yuan! 】

When Su Yuan saw these lines of translucent text, his heart skipped a beat.

This thing is definitely not right!
A blue and white bowl from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty could never be worth only one million!

He then activated the Eye that Clears the Clouds and Sees the Mist.

In an instant, the porcelain bowl emitted two rays of light in his eyes.

At the bottom of the bowl, a white and delicate precious light radiates neatly along the edge.

The body of the bowl radiates a hazy yellow glow.

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Good guy!
The bottom of the bowl and the body of the bowl are not from the same period at all!
In other words, the bottom of the bowl is genuine blue and white porcelain made during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, but the body of the bowl is not!

It is likely that the base of the bowl was neatly cut from a broken piece of porcelain and then covered with a fake blue and white floral bowl.

Moreover, the body of the bowl is actually ancient, and it is possible that it was made by skilled craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty, and the material used is also genuine high-quality blue and white porcelain clay!

This kind of high-quality imitation porcelain is part real and part fake, so it is extremely difficult to distinguish!
Many national-level treasure appraisers would stumble when faced with such high-quality imitations that are both real and fake.

At the beginning, Su Yuan's father, Su Maosheng, was defeated by this kind of high-quality imitation, which led to his myocardial infarction.

It is for this reason that Zixuan could tell at first sight that this thing was a treasure!
Thinking of the pain his father felt when he found out he had been cheated, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried about Zixuan.

After all, we are all treasure appraisers. If we make a mistake, the huge blow and shame will definitely be difficult to accept.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan looked at Zixuan.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled at Zixuan and said:
"Teacher Zixuan, something seems wrong with this thing!"
