Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 222: Over Ten Million!
"This... this jade quality... pure and flawless, warm and restrained, it warms upon touch, it’s top-grade Hetian jade!"
Elder Qin’s voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Look at the craftsmanship, the pen holder’s design is simple and grand, the lines are smooth, polished and rounded, the carving skills are exquisite, it is definitely not a modern imitation, this brush tip... despite the years, it remains firm and resilient, it’s superior wolf hair!"
Saying this, he lifted his head, looking intently at Yang Cheng, his tone certain:
"Young man, this pen, it’s equally remarkable, it’s a Qing Dynasty imperial court-level jade brush holder, judging by its specifications, jade quality, and craftsmanship, it’s very likely made by the Imperial Workshop for some prince or even the emperor!"
Upon hearing these words, Yang Cheng also got excited and immediately asked: "Elder Qin, how much is this pen?"
Elder Qin paused for a moment and then gave his valuation: "This jade brush holder, though not as rare worldwide as the Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase, is a top-quality masterpiece among elegant desk playthings. Its market value is conservatively estimated to be over two million RMB!"
"Two... two million again?!"
"Adding up... over ten million?!"
"My God! Bought treasures worth over ten million for three hundred and fifty thousand? Did Xuan Hua Pavilion just sell their store’s treasure as trash?"
The entire hall was in an uproar!
If the Yuan blue and white vase was a heavy bomb, then this jade brush holder was a precise finishing blow!
Over ten million!
Chu Wanhai and his wife handed over treasures worth over ten million for a cabbage price to Yang Cheng!
Only someone brainless could do such a thing!
"Poof!!"
Chu Wanhai felt a sweetness in his throat, a rush of blood surged up, his vision filled with stars.
If Lin Wan hadn’t held onto him desperately, he would have certainly collapsed on the spot.
It’s over!
All over!
Over ten million!
Just like that, it’s gone!
Yet, he chased to watch a joke like a clown himself!
Turns out he was the biggest joke!
"No... impossible... how could... how could this happen..."
Lin Wan was even more distraught, muttering to herself, her heart seemingly on the verge of tearing apart.
This brush, which she considered garbage and didn’t even want to charge a hundred bucks for, was valued at two million!
At this moment, everyone was shocked!
Being able to acquire a vase worth eight million was already heaven-defying luck, then came a brush worth two million.
My heavens!
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Yang Cheng, filled with envy.
This guy must have saved the galaxy in a previous life!
Compared to everyone’s shock, Yang Cheng appeared quite calm, he gently held his sister Yang Rou’s hand, who was shaking with excitement, but his gaze was drawn to the huge furnace, silently standing in the center of the hall, wrapped in a blanket.
"Elder Qin, could you please... take a look at that furnace again?"
Yang Cheng’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it hushed everyone.
All eyes were focused squarely on that huge, tightly wrapped furnace!
This time, their gazes were filled with anticipation!
Following an eight million vase and a two million brush.
Now, this colossal object that Yang Cheng valued so highly... could it also be a mind-boggling treasure?
"Honey, could this furnace also be a priceless treasure?"
At this moment, Lin Wan felt her scalp tingling, subconsciously turned to look at Chu Wanhai, and asked, her voice trembling.
"Don’t... don’t panic, wait for Elder Qin’s appraisal!"
Though saying so, Chu Wanhai was nearly panicking inside, selling three items for three hundred and fifty thousand, with two of them already treasures.
One worth eight million, one worth two million!
Altogether ten million!
Even if his father could earn, it would take a long time to make ten million.
And now, he sold them so casually, if his father knew, he’d surely break his legs.
"Alright, I’ll appraise it now!!"
Elder Qin took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly held their breath, their eyes fixed on Elder Qin.
Given the context of the previous two treasures, Elder Qin dared not neglect this imposing object that Yang Cheng attached so much importance to.
He and the staff carefully uncovered the blanket and foam, revealing the rusty, heavy-looking rough copper furnace.
The furnace had a simple design, with soaring ears on both sides!
But it was entirely covered with a thick and uneven black rust layer and dirt, appearing dull and even somewhat unsightly.
Elder Qin used a magnifying glass to meticulously examine the furnace’s wall, ears, and feet, clearing spots with thinner rust, and knocked on the furnace wall to listen to its sound.
Soon, his brow furrowed tighter, the expectation in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by disappointment.
After repeatedly checking for a while, he finally straightened up, turned to look at Yang Cheng, and said: "Young man, forgive my straightforwardness, this furnace... although large in scale, its copper quality appears coarse; severe rust covers most details; although antique in form, craftsmanship features... aren’t obvious."
"Based on the uncovered copper body and casting marks... a preliminary judgment suggests it might be a common late Qing Dynasty imitation copper furnace, or even a more recent civilian-made large item, mainly practical, with limited artistic and collectible value."
As Elder Qin finished speaking, it instantly doused the heated atmosphere with cold water.
"Ah? Just a common copper furnace?"
"Imitation? Then... doesn’t that mean it’s worthless?"
"I said so, where would you find so many treasures! The first two were already a stroke of miraculous luck!"
"Sigh, wasted anticipation..."
Disappointed murmurs quickly spread among the crowd.
Lin Wan heaved a heavy sigh of relief, her hanging heart finally settled.
And Chu Wanhai let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his back drenched in sweat.
Thankfully, this furnace was worthless, if it were another priceless treasure, he’d probably spend his life in regret.
Yang Rou’s heart also sank, she looked at Yang Cheng with worry, lightly comforting him: "Xiaochen, it’s alright, made ten million from three hundred and fifty thousand, even if this furnace is worthless, we’ve already profited greatly!"
However, Yang Cheng did not respond to Yang Rou’s words, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly pondering something.
The X-ray Vision feedback of heavy Spiritual Energy wouldn’t lie!
The issue must be with its appearance!
He stared at the unusually thick rust spots and dirt on the furnace walls, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—
"Elder Qin, could I borrow a hammer?"
Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something and immediately asked Elder Qin.
"A hammer?"
Elder Qin was startled, puzzled.
"Yes, a small hammer will do." Yang Cheng nodded firmly.
Though puzzled, Elder Qin signaled the staff to find a small claw hammer and handed it to Yang Cheng.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Yang Cheng, their eyes filled with confusion.
What is this kid trying to do?
Could it be that he’s going to smash the furnace out of frustration?
Yang Cheng ignored the looks from the crowd, he went to the large furnace, took a deep breath, raised the small hammer, and lightly struck down.
Not forcefully, but using the tip of the hammer, cautiously tapping at the edge of a protruding rust spot on the furnace belly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crisp metallic tapping sounds echoed in the hall.
One hit, two hits, three hits...
Something astounding happened!!
