After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Miss Su has a keen eye; judging from the bubbles, that's certainly true. However..."

Ye Tian paused, meeting Su Youwei's furrowed brows and the old collector's surprised and uncertain gaze.

"The exquisite craftsmanship of this bottle goes far beyond just the glaze color and firing temperature."

Ye Tian stretched out his finger and pointed to the bottom of the bottle: "Everyone can carefully observe the cross-section of the clay here."

Despite the meticulous aging process, a microscopic examination reveals subtle differences in the structure of the soil particles compared to the purple-gold clay used in Song Dynasty official kilns.

You might not be able to see the difference with the naked eye, but you can see it with a very high magnification loupe.

Upon hearing this, the collectors around him almost instinctively snatched the portable high-powered digital microscope from the assistant and began to examine the bottom of the bottle carefully, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

However, Ye Tian did not stop. His next words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

"Furthermore, the biggest flaw in this celadon bottle is not on the body of the bottle, but on the inside of the mouth."

Ye Tian made a startling remark, pointing to the inside of the smooth, jade-like bottle opening.

"About an inch below the inner wall of the bottle mouth, there is a very hidden kiln crack."

This crack is not a defect, but rather a natural formation during firing, and should be considered a flaw.

However, the forger was meticulous and cleverly repaired it with a secret technique from the Qing Dynasty court, and then covered it with a glaze of the same color.

The resin and metal powder contained in the adhesive have absolutely no connection with Song Dynasty artifacts.

The repair is shaped like a tiny lightning bolt, about three-tenths of an inch long, with a slightly winding path.

If you shine a light from the side using a specially designed wavelength light source, it shouldn't be difficult to spot.

The entire venue was deathly silent!

Everyone was stunned by Ye Tian's precise description, which went down to the details of the craftsmanship and spanned different material periods.

If the issue of the embryonic soil can be categorized under the realm of high-tech testing.

The repair material hidden inside the bottle opening, which doesn't belong to any particular era, is completely beyond the realm of conventional treasure appraisal!

What amazing eyesight that requires!

What incredible insight!

The old collector frantically took out a miniature endoscope and a special light source, and tremblingly reached inside the bottle opening.

A moment later, he suddenly raised his head, his face ashen, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

His gaze toward Ye Tian was filled with horror, disbelief, and the fear of having his secret completely exposed.

There really was an identical repair mark.

He even clearly described the kintsugamushi (a type of traditional Chinese medicine) from the Qing Dynasty!

The old collector muttered to himself, as if he had lost all his strength.

"That's amazing!"

The scene erupted in chaos!

Countless people gasped in shock, staring at Ye Tian in disbelief.

Their gazes toward Ye Tian were filled with shock and heartfelt reverence.

Su Youwei was completely stunned.

She stood there, her already fair and delicate face now appearing even more radiant.

She stared intently at Ye Tian, ​​her previous contempt vanishing, replaced by immense shock and profound bewilderment.

This man, whom she thought was just relying on luck, actually saw things more clearly than she did.

It's worth noting that she started learning antique appraisal at the age of eight, and became a professional antique apprentice at the age of 20, having handled countless antiques.

Among her peers, she is definitely among the top three in terms of appraisal skills.

And Ye Tian, ​​who has no experience studying antiques, is actually more skilled than her?

What Ye Tian displayed was not just keen eyesight, but almost the ability to see directly into the inside of the celadon bottle.

She didn't understand why Su Shiya gave Ye Tian such a high evaluation.

Now she understood a little better: Ye Tian was a partner that any force in the antique industry would be willing to do anything to win over.

"Boss Ye is truly extraordinary!"

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, who had been observing silently from the side, now showed a clear emotion on his usually calm face.

The atmosphere at the scene became both subtle and enthusiastic because of this amazing moment.

Countless people surrounded Ye Tian, ​​trying to get close to him.

"Mr. Ye, the moonlight is beautiful tonight. Shall we move somewhere else to chat?"

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, noticed that Ye Tian didn't seem to like being watched by others, so he immediately stepped forward to help him out.

"Great! It would be my honor!"

Ye Tian and Su Youwei followed Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, towards another garden.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Ye, the antique business is too complicated."

It's no exaggeration to say that one thought can lead to heaven or hell.

Many people have spent their entire fortunes buying a bunch of fake antiques, only to lose the will to live after learning the truth.

So when people encounter such a skilled appraiser as you, it's inevitable that they'll be overly enthusiastic.

"It's okay, I understand."

In the antique business, having a good eye isn't enough; making more friends is always a good idea.

Ye Tian laughed.

"Haha, Boss Ye is so insightful. Let's go have a cup of tea to warm our stomachs first, and then you two can go for drinks."

I won't drink with you guys. I'm too old, I have fatty liver and high blood pressure, so I can't drink anymore.

"I can only drink tea when I have nothing else to do." Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, gave a helpless bitter smile.

The garden not far away is a place specifically for drinking tea.

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, led Ye Tian and his companion through the door. A fragrant aroma of tea wafted towards them, mixed with the unique fresh and mellow scent of top-grade pre-rain Longjing tea.

The garden was decorated in a very artistic style, and the three of them chose a quiet tea table by the window and sat down.

In front of me is an old wooden tea table, three futons, and a warm yellow floor lamp shaped like a stone lantern.

The bamboo shadows sway outside the window, and the moon and stars are few, adding to the tranquility.

The owner of Yunqi Pavilion personally held the kettle and poured boiling water into the white porcelain gaiwan. His movements were fluid and graceful, carrying a rhythmic quality that had been cultivated over the years.

"Yunqi Pavilion is able to enjoy its present state thanks to the support of all our friends."

I was originally reluctant to organize this kind of private antique exhibition.

However, after being persistently pleaded with a group of friends, he opened the door of convenience for them.

It has become a regular occurrence, with people bringing their children to the event every week.

However, I only have a superficial understanding of antique appraisal, so apart from providing a venue, I can't offer much help.

"Mr. Ye, the skills you displayed tonight were truly breathtaking."

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, spoke calmly, yet with a profound meaning.

"Mr. Ma, you flatter me. These are just some rudimentary methods of appraising treasures, not worthy of serious consideration."

Ye Tian took the aroma cup handed to him, brought it close to his nose, closed his eyes and took a light sniff. The rich aroma of tea mixed with the freshness of the bamboo forest rushed straight to his mind.

"Boss Ye is too modest. There are very few people in the entire antique circle who can see through the Qing Dynasty kintsugi glue on the inside of the bottle mouth at a glance."

Boss Ye's eyes are not something that can be described simply as superficial.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it divine eyesight.

I would like to ask Mr. Ye for another favor.

Three days later is my Yunqi Pavilion's annual large-scale private antique exhibition.

People from all over the world will come to the conference, bringing valuable treasures with them.

We cannot afford any mishaps, or the reputation that Yunqi Pavilion has built up over the years will be ruined.

I would like to ask Mr. Ye to be my chief appraiser at the exhibition. With you there, I can feel at ease.

Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, continued, "Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing."

I know you need to find a new raw stone supplier. I have a friend in Diancheng who can help.

As long as Boss Ye helps me keep an eye on the private exhibition three days from now and gets through it smoothly.

"Leave finding a new rough stone supplier to me!"

Ye Tian was startled; the speed at which news spread in the antique circle was faster than he had imagined.

The owner of Yunqi Pavilion already knew about Ye Tian's request for Guo Wei to find a new supplier of raw stones, even though only one day had passed.

However, this condition did indeed tempt Ye Tian.

Only by finding a new supplier of raw stones as soon as possible can the supply problem of raw stones for the antique market and Murong Group be solved.

Only then can the Chen Group's blockade of raw stones be completely broken.
