It was the real thing.

Although Zhang Feng couldn't tell if the antique was real or fake, he was sure that it was something from the Qing Dynasty.

Elder Bai was drinking his tea at the side. He did not even look at the vase, his head lowered as though he was thinking about something.

Seeing the Elder Bai's situation, Zhang Feng did not dare to say a word and continued to eat his melon seeds at the side, looking left and right.

Three hundred thousand, does anyone want to offer a higher price? If this vase is put on the market, it would be worth at least five hundred thousand, and Zhang Shi Lou's brushstroke is already worth this price. Furthermore, the Blue and White Porcelain's texture is exquisite, the patterns and patterns are very clear, and it is not old. The host was still shouting.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

He raised the plate again and again, and every raise of his hand represented the increase of the price of fifty thousand. The value of the Blue and White Porcelain started to slowly rise.

Zhang Feng looked at Elder Bai, but Elder Bai's expression had never changed. It seemed that he no longer had any interest in this Blue and White Porcelain.

In the end, the Blue and White Porcelain was priced at 550,000, and as for who it was, Zhang Feng did not recognize either, so he did not take a look.

"Next, we will introduce our next masterpiece, a painting that belongs to the Soong Dynasty period and was drawn by Yue Fei using the entire red river. This painting was personally painted by Zhao Chang and was a special painting in memory of General Yue Feiyue's heroic deeds. The host pointed at the huge painting and shouted loudly.

Zhang Feng looked at the painting, the halos above the painting were even more dense, there were at least 700 of them, it was obvious that it was the real thing.

Moreover, this was also Zhao Chang's only special painting, it should be a painting with a great collection value, this painting believed that Elder Bai would definitely be interested.

However, what surprised Zhang Feng was that the Elder Bai still had no interest at all, as he continued to drink his tea with his head down.

"Elder Bai, this painting has collection value, why did you …"

If it's like this, then it's definitely very valuable, and also very valuable. However, this painting he drew is indeed in memory of General Yue; although the meaning is great, it's obvious that he can't control the characters, and the style is rough and casual, and it can't be done perfectly. Therefore, this painting has no collection value. The Elder Bai revealed the profound principles within with a single sentence.

Zhang Feng secretly nodded his head. Elder Bai was indeed Elder Bai, his understanding of antiques and history was indeed far inferior.

Zhang Feng also gave up on the idea of competing and continued to eat the melon seeds on the chair.

However, with different eyes, the competition this time was even more intense. Soon, the painting was sold to the high shelf for 3 million and was bought by a rich merchant in his forties.

A lot of famous weapons also appeared next, but Elder Bai didn't seem to have any reaction, he still drank his tea with his head down, as if what happened on stage had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Feng stood at the side, not daring to speak. He could only tell that every single thing was real while he could no longer measure up to anything else.

After participating in the auction, Zhang Feng finally understood how lacking his knowledge of antiques was. If he couldn't even measure their basic value, then it would be impossible for him to fly by himself in the future.

The thirst for knowledge in his heart grew stronger. He was desperate to learn more about antiques now.

Very soon, more than half of the treasures had been auctioned off. It was already night time, and everyone's mood had started to decline.

"Everyone, tonight we will introduce our last exhibit, and this is definitely one of our greatest treasures. I believe that everyone will immediately be filled with cleanliness. Come, everyone, please look. Warring States Era, Bronze Cauldron!"

As expected, the host's words immediately aroused the enthusiasm of everyone. How many years had it been since the Warring States Era? These must be valuable treasures that were unearthed. These favorites did not have any thoughts in their hearts!

Zhang Feng turned his head to look at the Elder Bai, and even the Elder Bai who had been drinking tea had a fanatical look in his eyes as he stared at the bronze cauldron on the stage.

Zhang Feng would not be able to discern anything, but he could tell that the bronze cauldron was emitting a cyan halo of light, roughly speaking, it would be several thousands of circles, roughly speaking, it would be at least two thousand five hundred circles, it was a product of the Spring and Autumn Period!

Moreover, the bronze cauldron looked extremely thick and it didn't show any signs of fading. It was just that it had been buried for a long time, so there was some soil on it. However, this didn't affect the beauty of the bronze cauldron at all.

"Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng!"

Elder Bai suddenly called out to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng hastily went over to the side of the Elder Bai.

"Take a look, how about this Bronze Cauldron?" Is it real? "Bronze cauldrons are the easiest to fake, many of which are filled with Yuan Dynasty's broken cauldrons, don't you think this is also something to fill in the numbers?" Elder Bai agitatedly grabbed Zhang Feng's hand, using so much force that even Zhang Feng's hand felt a bit of pain.

Zhang Feng endured the pain, knowing that Elder Bai had really taken a fancy to this Bronze Cauldron this time around. "Elder Bai, this Bronze Cauldron is real.

Elder Bai nodded his head in satisfaction, he released Zhang Feng's hand and patted it with force: "Haha, I knew it, this old man would definitely not be wrong to bring you here, you really did not disappoint me, very good, very good!"

Zhang Feng rubbed his hands at the side, grinned, and did not say a word.

"Now that everyone has seen this clearly, I won't introduce you any further. I think everyone here is perceptive, so you'll be able to see the value with a single glance. This bronze cauldron's starting price is 8 million, and with every bid, it'll be 500,000 gold!"

"Hua!"

Everyone below the stage were shocked, even Zhang Feng was shocked.

He knew that the Bronze Cauldron was worth a lot of money, but he didn't know that this Bronze Cauldron was actually worth a lot of money, and would actually start with a price of 8 million. If Zhang Feng wanted to compete, it would probably be useless.

Now he knew why the auction's price was 5 million. It seemed that there were indeed a lot of treasures inside.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Feng started to look forward to tomorrow's auction even more. If a Bronze Cauldron appeared on the first day of the auction, would there be any better treasures on the second day?

"Eight million five hundred thousand!"

"9 million!"

"10 million!" Elder Bai raised the plate in his hand and said.

"Ten million. Elder Bai has already raised ten million. I wonder if any of you have more than ten million?" The host immediately became excited and shouted.

"15 million!"

Suddenly, a low shout came from behind him. This strong figure made everyone look at him.

Zhang Feng also looked behind him, only to see a man around fifty years old calmly sitting on a chair, holding up the order badge in his hand, with a face full of determination to win.

Elder Bai also hesitated, his head lowered, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Zhang Feng didn't dare say anything. This Bronze Cauldron was extremely valuable, but the price of fifteen million was not low either. It was obvious that the other party was not lacking in wealth.

"20 million!"

Just as Zhang Feng was about to advise the Elder Bai, the Elder Bai suddenly raised his hand.

"Twenty million, twenty million. Elder Bai has already raised the price to twenty million, this is way beyond our expectations. I wonder if anyone has bid past twenty million? Twenty million going once! "

"Twenty million times!"

The host was still shouting, but the tense atmosphere engulfed the entire auction area.

Even Zhang Feng clenched his fists nervously. That was 20 million, if there was another person raising the price, the value of this antique would be even higher.

However, the fifty-year-old merchant seemed to shrink back. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't raise his card.

"Fine, twenty million, deal! Congratulations to Elder Bai for obtaining such a valuable treasure!" The host laughed as he picked up his hammer and smashed down.

The Elder Bai nodded in satisfaction and stood up to walk outside.

The day's auction had already ended, and everyone had already walked out one after another. However, they were still discussing about the start and the end of the auction.

Zhang Feng followed behind Elder Bai and entered the room that Zhang Yun had long prepared.

"Zhang Feng, do you know why I want to bid for this Bronze Cauldron? And it's even that high? " Elder Bai sat on the chair, holding a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Zhang Feng really didn't know why Elder Bai was willing to spend so much money to buy it. In his opinion, this Bronze Cauldron was at most worth ten million, if it was more than ten million, it would be worth it.

"This is definitely a scam, it has just been dug out not long ago, I think the tomb robbers must have obtained it, so they entrusted it to the auction house, otherwise there wouldn't be such a low price. If this is placed in the formal auction house, it would at least be worth forty million, and at that time, there's a high possibility that it would reach eighty million!"

The Elder Bai seemed to have seen through Zhang Feng's thoughts, and immediately explained without waiting for him to ask.

"80 million?"

Zhang Feng was so shocked that he almost fell flat on his butt. He couldn't imagine how high the price was, even if it was eighty million gold. Zhang Feng couldn't even think of it!

The Elder Bai laughed out loud and placed the tea on the table, then said: "Actually, this number is also a small number. The history of the Bronze Cauldron itself is extremely valuable, adding to the fact that the number of Bronze Cauldrons that have been discovered is relatively small, if it was Master Fang, then it would be even more expensive."

Zhang Feng scratched his head, he did not know about any of these things, so he could only listen to Elder Bai.

The Elder Bai was actually very interested, it was obvious that he wanted to thank Zhang Feng for his affirmation, so he straightforwardly told Zhang Feng about the knowledge of appraising antiques.

Zhang Feng was actually already very tired, but after hearing about the ancient knowledge, he immediately became interested, and started listening with Elder Bai, while recording everything down.

Elder Bai nodded his head in satisfaction. This Zhang Feng brat, with his talent and learning skills, it seemed that he would become a great general in the future!

When it was midnight, Elder Bai was tired and did not go down. He yawned and went to sleep on the bed.

Zhang Feng flipped through the pages of the notebook, his heart filled with joy as he read through the contents. After recording everything down bit by bit, he returned to his bed and went to sleep in satisfaction.

He slept all the way until the morning of the next day. Before Zhang Feng had even woken up, there was already a knock on the door.

Elder Bai had long since woken up, and the older people usually did not feel much. At this time, they had already put on their clothes, washed up, and sat in their rooms drinking tea.

"You're awake? "Come on, let's go eat breakfast. Today is the second day at the auction, so there must be a lot of items for exhibition. At that time, we might not even be able to come across any treasures!" Elder Bai laughed and said.

Zhang Feng scratched his head, "The second day, could it be that this isn't the last day?"

"Haha, private auctions will be held for at least three days. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the accumulation of years only lasted for two days? "Let's go. You must continue to help me in secret today!" Elder Bai laughed and stood up.
