Has Chapter 4 really conducted a leak test

This drawing work ... ... of the Ming Dynasty ? !

The term "Lasi Gong" refers to a method used in ancient jade craftsmanship, characterized by the use of flexible wire tools for pulling,透雕, or cutting. Due to the passage of time and the extensive repetition of pulling and grinding required in the production of ancient jade, the traces left by the "Lasi Gong" exhibit a thick patina, and the surface appears frosted. In contrast, the hollowed areas of replicas do not display these two characteristics, which serves as a method for determining the age of the "Lasi Gong".

Wang Ke's pupils quickly scanned the surroundings, his breathing slightly rapid, and his gaze was filled with disbelief

The surface of this Pixiu jade pendant features a brushed finish that not only has a thick patina but also presents a frosted texture. Most importantly, it aligns with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty's brushed craftsmanship, which is rugged and casual, with cutting marks that deviate at multiple angles. The hollowed areas, often narrow, are typically polished with round chisels, and the hollow sections frequently exhibit crescent-shaped chisel marks.

Having just endured inhumane torment akin to hell, at this moment there is suddenly a feeling of being in paradise, how could Wang Ke not be excited

There is no difference at all

What is going on

While the vendor was busy retrieving items, Wang Ke casually scanned the stall once more. Although he had already looked it over earlier, it was a good opportunity to review his knowledge of antiques, especially since most of them were likely fakes.

This one

There are three types of talismans. One type is naturally formed by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth in a very favorable position. The second type is worn closely by a feng shui master or has been crafted over a long period of time. The third type is consecrated by a highly esteemed monk. Regardless of which type it is, each can alter the feng shui of a place, bringing prosperity to an individual or a shop, or leading to great disasters.

We cannot just sit idly by; we must fight back!

Where does the anger come from

Wang Ke was taken aback upon hearing this, and then he thought about what the white mist on the golden toad could be. Could it be something unique to genuine magical artifacts?

It seems that finding a bargain is not as easy as it appears

Those who forged and created images and books also believed that this piece of jade was fake, so they reprocessed it to add a patina. Initially, it might have appeared genuine, but over time, it became even more like a counterfeit.

Just as he anticipated that a sharp pain would strike around his eyes with the gathering of true energy, the pain in his eyes suddenly lessened significantly

What is going on

Are you alright

The meaning of good goods is genuine goods. Wang Ke, who has spent half a year in the antique street, certainly would not foolishly say the word 'genuine' directly, as doing so would tarnish the reputation of bad bosses and offend people

The golden toad has only three legs, with the Big Dipper engraved on its back. It holds two strings of copper coins in its mouth, and atop its head rests the Yin-Yang symbol. Its feet are placed on a mountain of ingots and copper coins inscribed with the phrase "Wealth and Prosperity." Yet, this common symbol of wealth reveals a trace of white energy, and strands of white mist are flowing towards it from the surroundings

Wang Ke stared in shock at the scene before him. He felt that this white vapor was different from the true energy within his body. The energy of true energy was quite impactful, while this was very gentle, even to the point of being imperceptible. If one were not careful, it might even be mistaken for the smoke of incense.

The stall owner was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said: "I didn't realize that you, young brother, are quite the expert. Since that's the case, I won't hold back any longer.

However, this multiplicity is only relative

Did I really check for leaks myself ?

Wang Ke was excited to think that he had gained the ability of the supernatural eye, which allowed him to identify magical artifacts; when the time came, he would surely have an advantage in picking up bargains without fail

Seeing that Wang Ke was in low spirits, the stall owner smiled mysteriously once more and said: "Young brother, do not underestimate this Golden Dragon Fish; it is indeed a magical artifact. An absolutely good item"

False

The stall owner saw the young man in front of him suddenly about to faint and quickly asked, please don't collapse right in front of my stall, that would be so unlucky

Wang Ke is currently worried that not being in harmony with the *illustrated* book may cause problems with his eyes; he is concerned that he might suffer from pain to the point of death

At this moment, the vendor straightened up and took out a golden arowana, smiling mysteriously at Wang and asking, "How about this?"

Good goods

ritual implements

Wang Ke was taken aback; despite having dealt with antiques frequently over the past six months, it was the first time he experienced such a feeling

Wang Ke felt even more perplexed, yet at the same time, he became more resolute in his thoughts about supernatural abilities

The vendor proudly introduced, "Do not be deceived by the small size of my stall; this is the treasure of my booth, the true feng shui artifact, the Golden Toad! I spent a considerable amount to acquire it, and my fortune relies entirely on it!"

What is going on

What is this gas

Wang Ke hurriedly checked his body and realized that the true energy within him was nearly depleted

Wang Ke was even more puzzled. After watching for a while, he still did not discover anything. Helpless, he had to put down the golden arowana and turned to look at the golden toad. A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he immediately asked the vendor: "Boss, what is this? I see that its placement is quite special"

Is this also a Feng Shui tool

The first and third types are relatively rare, as natural formations are difficult to come by. Moreover, eminent monks and virtuous individuals do not casually confer blessings, and while there are indeed such monks, they are certainly not numerous. Therefore, these two types of artifacts receive little attention, and almost no one believes in their existence. Naturally, Wang Ke does not believe in them either

I really found a bargain

Infusing true energy into one's own eyes allows one to perceive the true characteristics of the magical artifacts, but it requires a significant consumption of true energy, and there is no other explanation.

Wang Ke put down the porcelain bowl he had just picked up and asked helplessly, "Boss, do you not have any good goods?"

Is this consecrated

The stall owner was somewhat surprised

Are young people today really this impressive at such a young age

Wang Ke immediately became interested upon hearing this; he had only heard people talk about magical tools related to books, but had never seen one.

Seeing that Wang Ke had looked at several items in succession without finding any satisfactory ones, the vendor spoke up to inquire.

At first glance, this blue and white disk appears to be in good condition; however, upon closer inspection, Wang Ke noticed something amiss

Aren't the aftereffects supposed to be over quickly? Why is this time taking so long?

Wang Ke took the Pixiu jade pendant and asked the stall owner

Even if it is not a magical artifact, it is still an antique

Why does it hurt so much

He does this merely to alleviate the pain; generally, there is no pain when there is smooth flow, and pain indicates a blockage. The intense pain he experiences must be due to some obstruction. Qi has the effect of relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals, which can help reduce pain

Upon realizing this, he immediately gathered more vital energy around his eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that the pain had indeed lessened

How to consume such a large amount

The perplexed Wang Ke could not help but glance at other areas of the stall; among the several antiques in front, only a Pixiu jade pendant was enveloped in a white mist.

However, he still could not be certain that what he saw was a magical artifact. What if it was not? Wouldn't that be a wasted joy? He decided to purchase the Pixiu jade pendant for himself; as for the golden toad, he would not dare to fantasize about it, as the owner would definitely not sell it.

Ha ha, I no longer have to worry about this damned pain.

Upon thinking of this, he could not help but feel excited. Could it be that he would witness what a true magical artifact really is

A blessing in disguise

This type of jade can be easily identified as fake by an experienced person, who would not even take a glance at it. However, when he turned it over and saw the back, he was somewhat taken aback

Wang Ke took the golden dragon fish and examined it carefully, finding no abnormalities. He couldn't help but look at the stall owner with curiosity and asked, "Boss, how do you know this is a magical artifact?"

Boss, how much is this Pixiu jade pendant selling for

Seeing that Wang Ke was fine, the vendor let out a slight sigh of relief. At that moment, more customers arrived at the stall, prompting the vendor to leave Wang Ke and attend to the other patrons. This also provided Wang Ke with the opportunity to examine the Pixiu jade pendant.

The intense stabbing pain caused Wang Ke to let out a series of low growls from within, and his entire body began to tremble slightly

The plate is very attractive, exuding a sense of grandeur. The border features sixteen large openings, with bamboo and floral patterns painted within the eight large openings, and tassel patterns depicted in the eight smaller openings. The layers are distinctly defined, and the center of the plate showcases a design of mandarin ducks in a lotus pond.

This situation left Wang Ke momentarily stunned, followed by a surge of joy. Could it be that true energy can really alleviate the pain in his eyes?

But how could such a fine Pixiu jade pendant give him such a feeling? Could it really be a magical artifact

While browsing halfway through, Wang Ke felt a sharp pain in his eyes once again, this time more intense than before and lasting longer.

The vendor chuckled and said

Wang Ke suddenly thought of a possibility that excited him immensely: could it be that he had developed supernatural abilities

Wang Ke let out a light sigh and set down the porcelain plate in his hand

Brother, which item are you interested in? Rest assured, I have a good reputation here, and the prices are absolutely fair

"How could one not know this? Hehe, I have had the high monk of Puzhao Temple consecrate it, so of course it is a spiritual artifact"

Is it possible that ... ...

After looking at several items in succession, Wang Ke did not find any genuine artifacts. He was also aware that it is quite difficult to come across authentic pieces in the antique street; once a genuine item appears, it is usually snatched away by a group of experts long before.

Wang Ke immediately became excited, and upon careful observation, he understood why this jade had not attracted much attention from others

If that is the case, then that Pixiu jade pendant should also be a ritual tool

If it were said that all antiques were shrouded in white mist, he might consider whether there was an issue with his own eyesight. However, now there are only two items covered in mist; what could be the reason for that

The lotus pond mandarin duck pattern painted on the plate appears somewhat juvenile in its brushwork, and the composition is distorted. The blue and white color has a slightly grayish tone, and the glaze exhibits a rather flat luster, lacking vibrancy

He lowered his head and carefully examined the Pixiu jade pendant in his hand. The Pixiu was intricately carved in hollow form in the center of the pendant. The craftsmanship of the jade carving was not particularly good, appearing quite rough, and the quality of the jade itself was not of high standard, lacking transparency and looking quite worn. However, it gave off a sense of having been reprocessed.

Without hesitation, Wang Ke reached out to take the jade pendant. As soon as the pendant was in his hand, a wave of coolness immediately washed over him, giving him a feeling akin to being bathed in a spring breeze

If it weren't for this, how could he have the chance to take advantage of the situation

At that moment, Wang Ke suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and his body involuntarily went limp. Fortunately, he managed to support himself against the stall; otherwise, he would have surely collapsed to the ground

Wang Ke raised his head to look at a bronze money toad on the stall, and he couldn't help but be taken aback by the situation before him

Wang Ke approached the stall and casually picked up a blue-and-white porcelain plate, which, based on its material characteristics, should date back to the late Ming Dynasty

Opening the light

He no longer has time to consider the consequences of gathering true energy and can only take a gamble

Wang Ke's mind is entirely focused on the white mist, completely oblivious to the vendor's proud expression as he introduces his wares, merely nodding in agreement.

Wang Ke gritted his teeth tightly, enduring the excruciating pain as he mobilized the true energy within his body, gradually gathering it around his eyes

Wang Ke waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He raised his head and inadvertently glanced at the golden toad, only to suddenly realize that the white mist above it had disappeared. He then looked at the Pixiu jade pendant and found that it was also gone

Oh?

The second category is relatively abundant, as five thousand years or even longer of Chinese history has nurtured countless talented individuals and Feng Shui masters, and naturally, many of the items they created and personally crafted have been passed down through generations

The stall owner had been observing Wang Ke. Initially, he thought this unfamiliar young man was inexperienced, but upon seeing Wang Ke place the porcelain plate down and the expression he displayed, he realized he had misjudged him.

It is truly too painful, having exceeded the limits of what he can endure
