Chapter 657 Found a fake
But now is the Dharma-Ending Age, and he is the only practitioner in the whole world. The use of Lingxi Treasure Hunt Card has certain requirements for the realm. Except for himself, others cannot use even if they get Lingxi Treasure Hunt Card.
In other words, it is enough for him to have a Lingxi treasure hunting card, and refining two more pieces is a waste. Instead of putting it aside after practicing it, it is better to use the remaining materials for other purposes.
Xiao Yao thought about it carefully and finally decided to refine a Lingxi treasure hunting card for the time being, and the remaining materials were temporarily put on hold and not for other purposes. Although the rhinoceros horns of Tongling Treasure Rhinoceros are of wide use, he does not need other uses except for Lingxi treasure hunting card for other purposes, whether it is refining elixirs or magic weapons.
Originally, it was a good choice to refine an attack magic weapon with the remaining materials, but now he is the only cultivator in the whole world, and there is no chance to fight with others. Attacking magic weapons has no place to use, and such precious spiritual materials have been wasted in vain.
Such precious spiritual materials must not be wasted at all. Since there is no other better use for the time being, it is better to keep them for the time being. If you have other needs in the future, you can use them at any time.
Refining Lingxi Treasure Hunt Cards is not a matter of one day or one night. Pan Wu only had detailed refining methods in his memory, but he did not have any experience in refining them.
In this way, he cannot guarantee 100% success in the first refining. In order to ensure 100% success rate, he must first use other materials to simulate refining to ensure foolproof.
Xiao Yao estimated that it would take at least half a month before he could truly use the rhinoceros horns of the spiritual treasure rhinoceros to formally refine the Lingxi treasure hunting card.
The auction of the Demonic City Institute is divided into two, and the second auction will be held the next afternoon.
Xiao Yao was already very satisfied with getting a rhinoceros horn from a spiritual treasure rhinoceros. He didn't dare to have more expectations for the second auction, but he still participated on time.
The items taken out at the second auction were obviously more expensive than the first auction, but unfortunately these things were not what he needed.
When encountering antique artworks that are of the right price or he personally likes, Xiao Yao will also participate in the auction.
But he was not as happy as he liked for more than twenty items.
Xiao Yao has lost interest in the subsequent auction. After all, a person's luck is limited. After he gets a precious piece of cultivation material, the possibility of continuing to get the second piece is slim.
Although the possibility is very small, he still habitually scans every item with his spiritual sense. When the afternoon auction was about to end, he still did not find the second cultivation item, but unexpectedly found a fake item.
Although fakes are inevitably present at regular auctions, they are generally those that are high-quality fakes that are enough to make fakes fakes. Although the fake he found is also high-quality, it is difficult for him to make fakes fakes. As long as he is a high-level expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal, it is not difficult to distinguish.
Xiao Yao didn't care how this fake ancient painting was mixed in. Such things would inevitably happen at major auctions. Things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
This is a landscape painting by Wen Zhengming. Although the size is not very large, if it is an original, the market price will inevitably be around 60 million. After more than ten rounds of bidding, the current price has exceeded 50 million.
"55 million!" Yu Zongwen suddenly raised his sign and shouted.
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Although Yu Zongwen participated in the auction, he may not be the final winner, and there is no need for Xiao Yao to stop him at this time.
After six rounds of bidding, only Yu Zongwen and another person were still holding signs on the field.
At this time, Xiao Yao had to remind him, otherwise, with Yu Zongwen's passion for collecting fine calligraphy and painting, this fake would probably fall into his hands.
Yu Zongwen did not sit next to Xiao Yao. There were also two people, Zhan Tianling and Zheng Xiaowu, who were separated from each other.
Xiao Yao could only say to Zhan Tianling beside him: "This landscape painting by Wen Zhengming is a fake. You ask Zheng Xiaowu to tell Yu Zongwen that he should not continue to bid."
Zhan Tianling was slightly stunned, but he did not express his doubts, but quickly passed the sentence to Zheng Xiaowu and asked him to pass it on to Yu Zongwen.
After hearing Zheng Xiaowu's complaint, Yu Zongwen was also stunned. If it was a reminder from others, he would probably be half-believing, but if this sentence was said by Xiao Yao, he would believe it without doubt.
He was very curious about how Xiao Yao did this. Of course, he had no doubt about Xiao Yao's level of identification, but he could confirm that the painting was a fake by taking a look at it from a distance, which was a bit magical.
As Xiao Yao's friend, he knew very well that Xiao Yao had not participated in the preview of these lots before. In other words, this is the first time Xiao Yao has seen this painting.
Although the seats in the first row are relatively close to the auction table, they must be two or three meters away. At such a long distance, even if you look at them well, you can only look at them. It is a bit difficult to appreciate this work, let alone identify the authenticity.
Yu Zongwen already believed that Wen Zhengming's landscape painting was a fake, but he did not withdraw from the auction. Instead, he suddenly increased the price by 10 million at one time, which was directly called 67 million.
This price is already slightly higher than the market price. Such a high price directly made another competitor retreat, withdraw from the competition, and no longer continue to bid.
After the auctioneer dropped the hammer, this fake Wen Zhengming's landscape painting fell into Yu Zongwen's hands.
The auctioneer had just announced the ownership of Wen Zhengming's landscape painting, and Yu Zongwen suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I have some questions about the authenticity of this painting, and I request a re-evaluation."
Hearing Yu Zongwen's request, the auctioneer was stunned.
Although he is the most experienced auctioneer in the auction house, he has never experienced such emergencies before.
Yu Zongwen continued to say slowly: "I remember Mr. Hao once promised that our first batch of members. If you have any questions about the authenticity of the goods, you can apply for a review, and even during the auction, you can make this request. If the facts prove that it is indeed a fake, Mr. Hao promised to give compensation of the same value as the authentic goods. If you cannot make the decision, you can apply to your leader now."
