Invisible Billionaire

0Seeing that Ji Tianxiang was serious, he nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, "Listening up to here, you should understand that appraising treasures is much more difficult than gambling. Therefore, even if I teach you how to appraise them, when facing these things, you must have a sense of judgement. It's just like when you have a common sense towards these things and how they feel in their time."    0

    

"However, this is very difficult to accomplish. I won't force you to do this. All you need to do is to try your best."    

    

"Yes, Master." Ji Tianxiang nodded.    

    

"Come, Tianxiang, take a look at the porcelain at the bottom of this shelf. Which one is real and which is fake?" Faang Tianyi shouted.    

    

Ji Tianxiang nodded and squatted down to look at the row of porcelain. With his big eyes, he saw about six objects, all of different sizes, placed together.    

    

He took out a smaller piece of porcelain, which was shaped like a bowl. There were carvings of green mountains and trees on the surface, and on the back, there were some carvings of the era of porcelain.    

    

However, in his mind, what Faang Tianyi said was, "There is a common sense between these things and the era they lived in?"    

    

There were too many high grade replicas, and their real ones were hard to find. Some high grade replicas were even better than real ones.    

    

Ji Tianxiang held the porcelain in his hands and closed his eyes. He put it on his nose and sniffed it. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.    

    

"Good disciple, did you wait until the result?" Faang Tianyi asked curiously when he saw Ji Tianxiang like this.    

    

"This porcelain is fake." Ji Tianxiang said with certainty.    

    

"Oh?" Faang Tianyi blinked and asked, "How do you think this thing is fake? Do you have any proof? "    

    

He pointed at the thing in his hand and said slowly, "Look at this pattern first. The junction of the green mountain and the green tree was too precise. During that period, whether it was making a kiln or painting, everything was natural. In his eyes, there were some imperfections, both natural and beautiful."    

    

"Oh, but what do you say about the exquisite porcelain that was once popular in those days? "Tianxiang?" Faang Tianyi deliberately asked in reply.    

    

"If it's about beauty, then why is the shape of the bowl so round? Master, don't forget. " Ji Tianxiang said, "At that time, we already knew that the Earth was elliptical, that it was round in order to pay our respects to the Earth, and that when porcelain was popular, it was elliptical. Whether it was flawed or exquisite, it had to be an elliptical bowl."    

    

"Oh, even if you say so, no matter how I look at it from a distance, I would feel that this bowl is oval in shape." Faang Tianyi continued to make things difficult.    

    

Ji Tianxiang opened and closed his mouth, unsure of what to say.    

    

After a while, Ji Tianxiang had a flash of inspiration, he picked up the bowl and put it on Faang Tianyi's nose, "Master, close your eyes, touch this bowl, smell its smell, feel its touch, didn't you say that as to the judgement of porcelain, in addition to being rational, one must also be reasonable?"    

    

"It has the smell of a modern kiln. It doesn't have the smell of that era."    

    

Faang Tianyi struggled to open his eyes and revealed a gratified smile: "Tianxiang, you are very smart. You are right about this porcelain. It is indeed fake."    

    

"Hehe, where did you come from? Master, you should be the best one to teach me." Ji Tianxiang said humbly.    

    

"Alright, let's not talk too much. Being able to see through a piece of porcelain is not considered a real skill. Let's continue watching the next one." Faang Tianyi said.    

    

Ji Tianxiang nodded and picked up the second porcelain, which belonged to the vase category and also looked slightly different from the other vases. The old method was to first look at the vase's body and the inlaid patterns, then look at the base of the vase to get a general feeling.    

    

The result was that the second piece of porcelain was the real thing.    

    

This time, Faang Tianyi did not make things difficult for Ji Tianxiang. His eyes indicated for him to follow next.    

    

Ji Tianxiang picked up the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth porcelain according to the arrangement of the shelves, and read them all in a very short time. Then, he determined and gave the result.    

    

"Porcelain, 34 is a fake, 56 is a real one, and it comes from the Song Dynasty's official kiln." Ji Tianxiang said.    

    

Faang Tianyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Tianxiang. His expression was calm and indifferent, but there was something intriguing in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Ji Tianxiang …    

    

After a few seconds, his hands began to clap.    

    

"Very good, you have already started practicing with Steadfast Porcelain." Faang Tianyi praised.    

    

Why did Faang Tianyi say that Ji Tianxiang had already left his apprenticeship and the six pieces of porcelain on the shelf were in fact the hardest ones to make a firm decision. No matter how many real and fake treasures one had, as long as one met the six pieces in his hands, they would make one feel dizzy and unable to differentiate between the real and fake.    

    

He had thought that Ji Tianxiang would be able to determine one or two items, and it was already quite impressive. Who would have thought that this kid would be able to identify six items in such a short period of time?    

    

Truly powerful, not only powerful, he was truly a genius of the Treasure World.    

    

The more Faang Tianyi thought about it, the more complicated he became.    

    

"Tianxiang, do you know how powerful this piece of porcelain is? It can be said to be the hardest item to appraise among treasures, and it was identified by you in a short period of time. Do you know how powerful you are?" Faang Tianyi could not help but blurt out the thought in his heart.    

    

"Even master has to train for decades to be able to see through these six pieces of porcelain."    

    

In Ji Tianxiang's ears, Faang Tianyi's words carried a sour and jealous tone. After thinking about it for a while, he thought, "This is bad."    

    

Ji Tianxiang smiled at Faang Tianyi and said with a respectful tone, "Haha, Master, don't mock me. I am so powerful because I have a master as powerful as you. If not for your guidance, how could I have left my tutelage so quickly? "    

    

"Haha, you're right. If I hadn't been your master, you wouldn't have left so quickly." Faang Tianyi suddenly laughed and said with a tone full of pride.    

    

Ji Tianxiang stood to the side and praised.    

    

With these words, Faang Tianyi felt much more comfortable as he brought Ji Tianxiang to the second shelf in the room. On it were different sizes, different weights, and different colored bronzes.    

    

"Tianxiang, do you remember how I described the technique in the few books I gave you earlier to determine the strength of a bronze artifact?" Faang Tianyi asked.    

    

I remember that bronze artifacts are usually divided into three types: red copper and bronze, rare copper, bronze artifacts are rare, bronze artifacts are few in number, most of them belong to daily tools and types of living, such as knives, awls, drills, rings, bronze mirrors, ornaments, etc., there are forging and category forging.
