As a four-star peak treasure appraiser, I have learned a lot about this profession. It is incredible to be able to analyze who the author is based on the strokes and painting characteristics. He directly identified the wrong painting after drinking wine, and even self-destructed his name and signed...
…Is this really something that can be seen through treasure appraisal?
Not only did Pavilion Master Sai think this way, Zhao Feiwu and Luo Qin were also confused and stared at him, wanting to know how he knew so much.
"hehe!"
Seeing their gazes, Zhang Xuan smiled softly: "Treasure appraisal is not only about identifying the age of the treasure, but more importantly, judging others by yourself and guessing what the other person is doing, so that you can have a deeper understanding!"
"This picture looks neat, but in fact it is irregular. Everyone knows that the most important thing when identifying calligraphy and painting is symmetry, and this one, with the left high and the right low, gives people a sense of tilting to the left. It is obvious
, the person who painted is not standing steadily, so he should be lying on the rice paper. If you look at this, this and this, you can see that lying down is the most suitable..."
"In addition, the white bird you are questioning has short wings, a white beak, black claws, a red head, and a thin body. It is not the same as the one in reality. At first glance, I really don't know what species it is!"
"But if you look carefully, there are reeds everywhere in the picture, and new purple flowers are blooming. These two things are the favorites of fair-skinned birds. The most important thing is that one bird has a piece of grass in its mouth!"
Zhang Xuan pointed.
Sure enough, everyone saw in the picture a white bird holding a piece of grass in its mouth.
"This grass is nine times similar to cattail grass. Cattail grass contains highly toxic substances and is not liked by spiritual animals, so it is misleading to people. But what if it is said to be a white jue root?"
"The roots of white grass are similar to cattail grass. Some medicinal suppliers even deliberately fake the real ones... Fair-skinned birds will not come into contact with the latter, but the roots of white grass are their favorite..."
"this……"
Pavilion Master Sai and Luo Qin all froze.
What the other party said is accurate and without any mistakes. If you follow this analysis, you can easily know that it is a fair-skinned bird.
"After determining the type of bird, the rest is easy. If you look carefully, you can find that the painting is done in one go. It is not the most common line drawing, but expresses one's heart. As a super calligrapher and painter who can draw six scenes, how can
Maybe even the most basic issues are ignored? The most important thing is... there are also traces of alteration on the bird? Coupled with the previous inference, you can easily guess that it was done drunkenly!"
"After figuring out so much, it will be easy if you know the names and origins..."
The corner of his mouth raised, Zhang Xuan explained.
These are not just words. As a calligrapher and painter with three stars or above, knowing the results makes it much easier to think backwards. Combined with the flaws provided by the library, problems can be easily discovered.
However, if you don't know the answer, it is very difficult to figure it out just by observation. It can be said that it is almost impossible.
"This, this..."
Seeing him talk eloquently and with good reason, everyone in the room looked crazy.
Only then did Master Sai realize that the opponent's level of treasure appraisal was indeed more than twice as good as his, and was not at the same level at all.
"We must report it to the headquarters immediately. With this kind of vision and ability, the treasure appraisal level has reached at least five stars, or even... higher!"
Swallowing, I secretly made a decision.
The level of the person in front of me has already exceeded the level of the Alliance of All Nations, and is only stronger than a five-star treasure appraiser.
Such a genius must be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible to prevent the pearl from being covered in dust.
"Okay, don't delay the auction, just take it over and auction it!"
After explaining, Zhang Xuan took a look and saw that the entire auction house was alarmed. Everyone's eyes were focused on it and they waved their hands.
"Yes!" Luo Qin finally reacted, picked up the calligraphy and painting with both hands, and retreated.
Not long after, Elder Chen on the auction stage sounded a shocked voice, as if even he himself didn't believe it: "You must have seen the scene just now. A painting and calligraphy of the Seventh Realm was born here. We are so
Many people witnessed this glorious moment together!”
"The painting itself was created by Wu Xuanzi, a great master of calligraphy and painting eight hundred years ago. It was personally nominated by a new great master of calligraphy and painting, which triggered a spiritual agitation and directly broke through from the peak of the Sixth Realm!"
"The Seven Realms Painting is the first Seven Realm Painting of the Alliance of Nations. It is the result of the perfect cooperation between the predecessors and the descendants. It is not said to be unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented!"
Elder Chen's voice became more and more excited: "Now, the owner of this painting plans to auction it. The starting price is eight thousand spiritual stones! Each increase must not be less than one thousand, and the bidding begins!"
"Is this painting really for sale? It's great, I want to buy it..."
"The base price of eight thousand spiritual stones? Although it is expensive, it is worth it. Please notify the family immediately and mortgage the property to buy it!"
"No matter what the cost..."
…
When they heard that this painting was actually being auctioned, everyone below was in an uproar and fell into madness.
The Seven Realms paintings have never appeared before in the Alliance of Nations. If you can buy one, it’s worth breaking the bank!
Not to mention anything else, if it is resold again, the price will most likely double.
"I'll pay nine thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Just in case!"
…
Prices soared instantly.
"This..." Looking at the crazy people below, Zhang Xuan blinked.
I thought that the master of the Sai Pavilion, who has a treasure appraiser profession, would not be able to get three thousand spiritual stones, and selling five thousand would definitely be the limit. He never dreamed that it would soar to more than ten thousand.
"Elder Chen and I are the same. We have spent all the money we have on collecting treasures. There are not many spiritual stones that can really be used. Besides, no matter how many I have, I am only an individual. They all represent a force and a big family...
"
Seeing his doubts, Master Sai Pavilion smiled bitterly.
Logically speaking, if you have a career as a treasure appraiser, you can make money quickly, and you should have a very high net worth, no weaker than those below.
Unfortunately, his money has been collected and stored in treasures, and there is not much circulating capital. Three thousand is the limit.
But those below are different. A family and a force have accumulated for thousands of years, and their wealth is astonishing. For him, more than 10,000 spirit stones are impossible to come up with, but for these people, it is at best a pain in the neck, as long as they find a way to do it again.
If you sell it, you will not only get your money back, but you will also make a lot of money.
…
In a private room at the auction house.
A young man sat in front of the window, a tiger perched on a dragon's head, with an aura of pride.
There was an old man standing behind him. Although he didn't show any cultivation, he gave people a feeling of being like a deep ocean, with no depth. I'm afraid he was only stronger than Jin Conghai.
"Seven realm paintings? Interesting!"
Seeing Elder Chen displaying [Drunken Dreams] below, the young man's eyes flashed.
"Master, are you interested?" The old man bowed.
"Seven Realm paintings are considered treasures even for sects. If you buy them, they will definitely be of great benefit to my minor career in calligraphy and painting." The young man nodded.
"Okay, I'll buy it!"
The old man nodded and asked for a quote.
"Don't be too busy yet. Let's wait until their reports are almost complete before we speak." The young man waved his hand.
"Yes!" The old man hesitated for a moment: "It's just... I'm afraid that the price will be too high after a while, and the spiritual stones we bring will not be enough to buy the Soulless Golden Man..."
"The Soulless Golden Man is involved in the profession of Soul Shaman. If I can get some useful information and bring it back to the sect, my status will definitely increase instantly and I will gain the attention of the Famed Master Hall... It will only be a matter of time before I become number one among the younger generation."
The young man smiled softly: "But... don't worry about this. I have inquired about the Soulless Golden Man. The guy who auctioned it seems not to want to sell it as a spiritual stone."
"Not sold as spiritual stones?"
The old man was stunned.
Isn't it just to make money by selling it? What do you mean if you don't want to sell it as spiritual stones?
"I heard that this guy's life span is about to end. As long as his cultivation level cannot break through the confinement, no matter how many spiritual stones he has, they will be useless. I guessed it right. What he wants is the Course Jade Talisman, and the higher the level, the better." The young man said.
Although spiritual stones represent wealth, when they reach a certain amount, they are just a bunch of numbers.
There is no way to break through the cultivation level, and there is no way to extend the life span. Sooner or later, it will turn into loess and disappear from the world... People are dead, so what's the use of having more money?
It is better to redeem the Jade Talisman of the famous teacher's course. If you can take the opportunity to break through, it will definitely be much better than just getting some spiritual stones.
What's more, with increased strength, it's still not easy to make money?
No matter where you are, strength is the most important and fundamental, and everything else is external.
"If you only need the jade talisman of the course, then it will indeed be simple... The young master himself is a talented and famous teacher. It should not be difficult to help the little people in this place to advance!" The old man understood and smiled slightly.
"That's natural. I want to be at least in the top five in this famous teacher competition!"
The young man's face showed strong confidence.
"The young master's talent is unparalleled. Regardless of his state of mind or his understanding of martial arts, he is far beyond ordinary people. I think not only the top five, but also the top three will have no problem!" said the old man.
"The top three...it's hard to say, those ones are not easy to deal with, but I'm not afraid, I'll just see who is in better shape at that time!"
His expression became solemn, and the young man immediately waved his hand and looked towards the auction house: "Okay, it's almost over, let's bid! By the way, I still have use for the spirit stone, don't waste it."
"yes!"
The old man nodded.
At this time, the price was almost quoted. Even if there were many wealthy families and powerful people coming to the auction house, they would be daunted by such a price and had to stop.
"Twenty thousand spiritual stones once, twenty thousand spiritual stones twice. Is there anything higher than this price? If not, I would have sold this to my friend in private room No. 14 after being drunk and sleeping..."
Elder Chen looked around.
…
"Twenty thousand spirit stones? I didn't expect a painting to be sold for so much money..." Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the competing prices below.
"Yes, it seems that there should be no one to compete. Twenty thousand spirit stones, this is much faster than... making money through a level!" Sun Qiang also nodded excitedly.
Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard an old man's voice.
"Wait a minute, there are 21 four-star jade charms. Our young master bought this painting!"
