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

"The first event is a porcelain competition. All the porcelain merchants will put their antique porcelain pieces together for all the appraisal experts to choose from."

Ultimately, whoever chooses the most valuable piece of porcelain wins.

After Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion, announced the competition rules, all participants immediately began making their choices.

Shi Linfeng, the president of the Jade Association, has arrived, but because the Jade Association has a cooperative relationship with the Chen family, he is unable to attend.

Chen Tai and Ye Tian were engaged in a life-or-death duel, and it was inconvenient for Shi Linfeng to go up and greet them.

He waved to Ye Tian from afar, which was his way of showing his appreciation.

The renowned collector Mr. Zhang Shouren was appointed as a judge for this competition by Mr. Ma, the owner of Yunqi Pavilion.

He and nine others formed the ten-member judging panel for this competition.

Ye Tian scanned the entire arena and, after understanding the situation, began to focus his attention on the porcelain in the competition area.

His gaze inadvertently swept over an old, dusty bowl in the corner.

It was an unremarkable, even ugly, bowl.

It was a dull gray color, covered with a thick layer of dust, and looked greasy and black.

The bowl is well-shaped, but from the outside, it looks like an old porcelain teacup that should have been thrown in the trash long ago.

"Boss Ye, I accidentally took this bowl by mistake; I just used it to make up the numbers."

The porcelain you've chosen is a matter of life and death; perhaps you should look at something else—there are plenty of good things around here.

If you really like it, consider this bowl a gift from me.

But please don't use this bowl in this porcelain competition.

The porcelain shop owner next to him kindly offered advice.

After all, Ye Tian still has several matches to go, and it would be too embarrassing to be eliminated in the first one.

"Thank you, I'll take a look first."

Ye Tian picked it up, about to examine it closely.

"Hey Ye Tian, ​​everyone else is choosing priceless antiques, and you've come here to pick up junk?"

Even the broken porcelain bowls used to feed stray dogs on the roadside look more like antiques than this.

If you really can't choose, just admit defeat and get out of Jiangcheng.

"Stop making a fool of yourself here, okay?" Liu Ruyan came up behind Ye Tian and couldn't help but mock him when she saw his choice.

"Junk?" Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and examined the bowl carefully.

"Is it any dirtier than your worn-out shoe?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Ruyan was both embarrassed and angry, trembling with rage, her face turning a deep liver color.

"You're the one who's a slut! You're such a piece of junk, nobody would want you even if you were given away for free, and you're treating you like a treasure!"

I bet if you chose this broken bowl, it would be 100% the worst!

"Liu Ruyan, what will you do if my bowl isn't the last one?" Ye Tian said with a playful smile.

"Ye Tian, ​​do you really think this is some valuable antique?"

If this bowl weren't in last place, I'd give you whatever it was worth!

Liu Ruyan was in a bad mood when Ye Tian's words provoked her, and she saw that he really seemed interested in the broken bowl.

He immediately thought that no matter if Ye Tian's bowl was last or not, as long as he wasn't first, he was doomed to lose.

If he loses, he will be kicked out of Jiangcheng.

At that point, who will care about what she says?

"Liu Ruyan, so many people are listening, don't go back on your word."

Don't say you don't have money to compensate me after you lose.

Ye Tian wanted her to make sure she said it outright, so she wouldn't have to change her mind.

Liu Ruyan glanced quickly at the greasy, grayish-black bowl in Ye Tian's hand, her eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

"Ye Tian, ​​if you really want to use this bowl in the competition, I'll give you a written agreement! I won't go back on my word!"

She couldn't be happier that Ye Tian would choose the broken bowl that was least likely to win.

Ye Tian waved to the staff member next to him.

The staff member next to them immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down the betting agreement between Ye Tian and the other person.

"You can sign and stamp it, or leave your fingerprint."

When Liu Ruyan heard that she had to sign or put her fingerprint, she hesitated for a moment, but then she noticed the looks on the faces of the people around her.

"What? You're scared now?"

Seeing Ye Tian's mocking face, a surge of anger rose within him. He grabbed a pen, fiercely signed his name where the waiter pointed, and even pressed a red fingerprint into the inkpad.

"Is that enough?" Liu Ruyan glared at Ye Tian after signing the document.

"Okay, I'll show you right away."

Ye Tian shook the dirty bowl in his hand and laughed.

"This dirty, broken bowl, nobody would want it if you threw it on the street, and you're actually treating it like a treasure?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes dismissively.

Just then, Zhang Shouren, who had been silent all along but whose eyes were fixed on the black bowl like searchlights, suddenly took a deep breath, his voice trembling.

His fingers trembled as he pointed at the bowl: "Ye Tian, ​​let me see this bowl!"

His tone carried a suppressed fervor and disbelief.

Liu Ruyan was taken aback. He looked at Zhang Shouren’s eyes, which were almost bulging out of their sockets with excitement, and then at the extremely dirty broken bowl in Ye Tian’s hand.

Suddenly, a ridiculous thought popped into my head: Could this broken bowl really be a treasure?

"Let me clean it up before I show it to you. It's too dirty now, so you don't get your hands dirty."

As Ye Tian spoke, he turned and walked straight to the water tank on the side.

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Shouren followed instinctively.

Ye Tian turned on the tap and placed the greasy, blackened broken bowl under the running water.

Tap water washed away the thick grime that had accumulated on the bowl over the years.

The original color of the bowl gradually became visible where the dirt had faded.

It wasn't a dull, rough, broken bowl.

Instead, it has a warm, milky white base color, as delicate as solidified mutton fat.

Even more astonishingly, after being rinsed by water and illuminated by the overhead light, the parts that had lost their grease began to faintly reveal a luster that was not like glass, but rather a soft, restrained, yet seemingly self-generating radiance.

As the stains were washed away, the lines of some patterns on the bowl began to appear.

The colors are not gaudy reds and greens, but an extremely elegant combination, with smooth and lively lines, full of vitality.

Zhang Shouren's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his eyes widened like copper bells as he stared unblinkingly at the bowl.

Liu Ruyan was also stunned.

She doesn't know anything about antiques, but she has an eye for them.

The delicate, jade-like texture of the porcelain, the indescribable beauty and vivid patterns that gradually emerged after the impurities were removed, and Zhang Shouren's expression of utter disbelief.

All of this indicates that this bowl has a remarkable history.

Ye Tian turned off the tap, and the bowl began to reveal its true form.

On the warm, smooth body, the colorful patterns are not yet fully clear, but the unique brushstrokes and composition already exude a breathtaking beauty that transcends hundreds of years.

Ye Tian picked up a dry rag and gently placed the bowl, which was beginning to shine, on the marble table.

Gently wipe the inside and outside of the bowl dry with a cloth.

Upon seeing the bowl in its entirety, Zhang Shouren's pupils suddenly contracted, and even his breathing became rapid:

"Is this a priceless treasure, a Chenghua doucai porcelain?"

Zhang Shouren stared in disbelief at the porcelain bowl on the table, his heart pounding like a drum.

"Very few Chenghua doucai porcelains exist. A public auction more than ten years ago fetched 2.2 million yuan."

This directly broke the world record for porcelain auctions.

For more than a decade, no Chenghua doucai porcelain has appeared in the world.

This is more than just a priceless treasure.

The craftsmanship of Chenghua Doucai porcelain has long been lost. Even with today's advanced counterfeiting techniques, the essence of Chenghua Doucai porcelain cannot be replicated.

It is easy to imagine how astonishing Chenghua doucai porcelain was in the world of porcelain.

Zhang Shouren was so excited that words could hardly describe it.

"Boss Ye, you've made another terrible mistake!"

Zhang Shouren burst into laughter.
