Super Golden Eye

"Within five minutes, the two of you can choose one of the 18 bronze artifacts that you think is the most valuable. We will have a professional appraisal team and the distinguished guests present to appraise it on the spot."    

Faang Yang and Fang Yihan nodded at the same time. "Alright, it's decided."    

Li Qiushuang said, "Since that's the case, I declare that the gambling match will begin! Good luck to the two of you! "    

Fang Yihan was like water that got water. Ever since he was young, the thing he had come into contact with the most was bronze. He could be considered an expert in this area.    

Green-bronze artifacts referred to bronze artifacts from the Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou, and Spring and Autumn Period. These artifacts were mainly made of bronze, and were cast with a small amount of tin and lead. The colors of the artifacts were green and gray, and they were famous for being bronze artifacts.    

They were mainly tools, weapons, recipes, foodstuffs and alcohol flasks. They were water artifacts, eels, and horse-riding artifacts. There were many types of artifacts, and they were exquisitely carved. The inscriptions were a precious treasure of calligraphy and art.    

Bronze artifacts from the Shang and Western Zhou dynasties were made in a dignified, heavy, and exquisite manner. The inscriptions were mostly Taotie patterns, Kui Dragon patterns, animal patterns, and various shapes. The inscriptions were simple and ancient, and the average number of words was relatively small.    

From the middle of Western Zhou to the middle of Spring and Autumn, the style was simple and simple. The designs were casual, and the inscriptions were mostly complex and complex diagrams. However, the number of long inscriptions had increased compared to before.    

From the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States Period, apart from animal patterns and polygonal patterns, there were also fine lines carved into the patterns of hunting, war, and banquets.    

The bronze artifact was made of copper and tin alloy. It had a strong hardness and was easy to collect for a long period of time. Moreover, the bronze artifact had different ancient and elegant shapes. The lines were smooth and smooth. This was also something that other antiques could not hope to reach.    

As for the identification of bronze artifacts, they first compared the copper and smithing techniques, artifact shapes, patterns, and inscriptions with true treasures one by one.    

The artifact form, the inscription patterns, and other aspects of the true treasure were all the same, and there were often contradictions between the various aspects of the false artifact.    

Secondly, the rust color on the surface of the true artifact was naturally formed after being corroded for a long period of time. It was dense and had a metallic luster, and it was connected to the artifact body.    

In particular, the copper rust had already seeped into the interior of the artifact, seeping into the patterns or the inscription characters. The rust on the surface of a false artifact was usually formed by a rapid erosion method. Its characteristics were that it was very thin and floated on the surface.    

The thick counterfeit rust was usually made of the color of paint. It was gray and dull, without any metallic luster or level. It floated on the surface of the artifact and was loose and easy to fall off, revealing a new copper piece.    

Thirdly, in terms of the shape of the counterfeit, there was a rule that applied to all types of ancient bronze artifacts in China. For example, if someone was holding a piece of history that was said to be something from the Warring States Period, it would definitely be fake.    

Fourthly, the patterns and inscriptions of true treasures were natural and vivid. The style was simple and simple, and it was vivid and lifelike. As for the counterfeit artifact, it was rigid and soft, without any life.    

Fifth, the forgery, decorative, and inscription often had contradictions between them. A flaw was revealed. Moreover, the nature of the inscription and the type of object did not match. Or perhaps... Those who did not conform to the format of the inscription could be fakes.    

Fang Yihan, according to his past experience, constantly flashed between the exhibits. Only five minutes, and it was still very urgent.    

In comparison, Faang Yang was more direct because he knew nothing and knew nothing. Good idea. First, lower Fang Yihan's Fate to an extremely poor level, and then transfer his luck to an extremely good level.    

He looked left and right, and really did not have much patience. Therefore, he relied on the Golden Eye to find the item with the densest spiritual energy. Then, he walked over. Holding it in his hand, it was a Culm, "This one, I think it's more pleasing to the eye."    

The surrounding people all 'coaxed' and laughed. There was no other reason. Out of the 18 bronze artifacts in the hall, this was probably the worst one.    

Although Fang Yihan was continuously filtering, he was also paying attention to Faang Yang's movements. When he saw Faang Yang directly pick up the Culm, he secretly laughed in his heart. A bumpkin is a bumpkin, he was born to be a farmer!    

It was no wonder Fang Yihan said this. In the past, the Culm was used to plow the land and farm. It was also the predecessor of plow. Among the bronze artifacts, it might be the one with the lowest value.    

Very quickly, Fang Yihan stopped in front of a Venerable One. The Sheep Head Cup's mouth was cut open, its neck was high, its shoulders were bent, and its lower abdomen was retracted. It had three holes on its legs, and its entire body was covered in patterns of lightning.    

There were cicada patterns at the bottom of its mouth, a Kui Long Dragon Mark on its neck, three scrolls of goat head embossed on its shoulder, and a Kui Long Dragon Mark in between. The four edges of the shoulder to foot ring were separately placed, and the two eyes were engraved with the enormous deconstructing beast's surface patterns.    

The more Fang Yihan looked at it, the more familiar it looked. "Could this also be a late Shang stage Distant Beast Mark Sheep Head Cup?!"    

One had to know that there was once a late-stage Shang Distant Beast face patterned Sheep Head Cup that was sold at a sky-high price of over eighty million! If this was also the case, then it would be a sure win!    

"Late-stage Shang Distant Beast with a face patterned Sheep Head Cup?" The surrounding people were in an uproar. Those who could come here must have some discerning eyes. They naturally knew that this beast Mark Sheep Head Cup's value was not cheap.    

This late-stage Shang beast patterned Sheep Head Cup was a product of Li Qiushuang, so she naturally knew that it was real. She originally wanted to give Faang Yang a hint, but she did it at the crucial point. Faang Yang did not look in her direction at all!    

Fang Yihan proudly pointed at the late-stage Shang beast mask Sheep Head Cup and said, "Boss Lee, can you find someone to appraise it?"    

It could not be helped. This was what he had said just now, so he naturally could not take it back. Li Qiushuang invited three appraisers.    

A few minutes later, the three of them unanimously gave their opinions. "This is indeed the late-stage Shang Distant Beast's face patterned Sheep Head Cup. The market price is above 80 million."    

Hearing this result, Fang Yihan became even more pleased with himself. He walked two steps in front of Faang Yang in high spirits. "Ah, 50 million USD. I need to properly plan how to spend it."    

Faang Yang did not care at all. He weighed the Culm in his hand and said to the three experts, "Three of you, please help me appraise this too."    

The three of them carefully appraised it again. After a quiet discussion, they gave the final conclusion. "This bronze Culm should be a bronze artifact from the early Xia Dynasty.    

However, in the past, the Culm was a common agricultural tool. It was not a heavy weapon. Hence, the price was slightly lower. "    

The three of them were very tactful. They only said that it was slightly worse and did not say that it was much worse. However, it was the same as determining the winner and loser of this gamble.    

Fang Yihan stretched out his hand as if he had achieved success." Come on, 50 million USD. It just happens that we don't have any money to use. Really, when we are dozing off, someone will give us a pillow! "    

Faang Yang ignored him. He pointed at the Culm and said to the three experts, "Three of you, don't you see the patterns on it?"    

One of the experts replied, "Yes, I do. It's just that the rust accumulated over four thousand years has completely merged with the body of the weapon. It's hard to distinguish between them!"    

Faang Yang said, "If that's the case, please give me a price. I want to buy it."    

The three of them calculated. "This price is between 1.5 to 3 million."    

Faang Yang turned his head and said to Li Qiushuang, "Boss Lee, I will pay 3 million to buy this Culm. You have no objections, right?"    

Li Qiushuang said, "No problem. The seller's estimate is 2 million."    

"Alright, now this Culm is mine."    

After saying that, Faang Yang held the bronze Culm in his hand. His true qi shook and the thick layer of rust on the surface of the Culm was forcefully shaken off, revealing the real body inside. "Now, appraise it again!"    

Although the Culm was an agricultural tool, this one was clearly different. Not only was its design exquisite and refined, but the diagrams on it was even more fascinating.
