“Just so! Quickly, show Master Yuan the Jade Gourd!”

Qian Lulu and the others urged Chen Fan

Chen Fan’s friends were char Anpin’s trustworthy demeanor They were convinced that it would be for Chen Fan’s benefits to have the artifact identified by Master Yuan

“Very well”

Chen Fan sat still and gave Master Yuan a knowing glance and then nodded

He fished out the Jade Gourd from the suitcase and pushed it over toward Master Yuan The reed flashed in his eyes

Everyone watched as Master Yuan carefully re it for a while, he started to channel his Qi and started his art as heAfter he has done that for a while, he put down the Jade Gourd and heaved a sigh

“Master Yuan, what is going on?”

Qiu Yilun and the others hurried to ask This was a treasure that ca If it was proven to be a fake, that thirtydown the drain Even if he was the heir of the Chen fae a, you are mistaken this time This is not a dharma artifact at all, but just an ordinary jade trinket” Master Yuan shook his head in remorse

“What?”

Qiu Yilun and the others panicked, this hat they feared the h they didn’t knohat dharma artifacts were, what they heard from Master Yuan meant that Chen Fan would have lost all the money he had put into the Jade Gourd If the Jade Gourd was the real deal, Chen Fan could have at least got most of his investht it from an auction froh profile auction?” Qian Lulu asked indignantly

“Hehe, the Dharma Artifacts’ powers are brilliant but subtle, without trained eyes, no one would be able to identify if an artifact was indeed real or not” Master Yuan snorted and then said: “Even items from Sotheby’s auctions events could be fakes, much less that of smaller auction companies”

“It was purely buyers behen it ca on dhar Master Yuan’s words, everyone fell silent and was nearly convinced by Master Yuan

Zheng Anpin furrowed his brows and said: “Master Yuan, are you sure? I have a ot there just for this Dharma Artifact Even it’s appearance looked very much like the other Dhar had asked about it, I ht as well explainLord Zheng was not interested in the ite to offer his professional explanation

He pointed at the Jade Gourd on the table and said: “It ht look like a Dharma Artifact since it is covered with a Talisman Inscription However, the key factor that makes an artifact a Dharmic Artifact is the infusion of a perfected cultivator’s True Qi In other words, this jade gourd was just a hollow husk and was unfinished”

“If this gourd ended up in the hands of a Feng Shui master, it would turn into a real Dharma Artifact, however, if it ended up in the hands of an ordinary person, it would be useless”

Hearing Master Yuan’s explanation, the faces of Qiu Yilun and the others suddenly paled

Everyone knew the huge difference in value between a half-finished product and a finished one This Jade Gourd was pretty much just a piece of wood before it was carved into a statue by a woodcarver

Zheng Anpin pulled a taut face and heaved a sigh He looked to Chen Fan apologetically and said: “Brother Chen, I aht that this artifact was unfinished Sorry for the thirtyfrown as if Chen Fan had lost that irls felt even ’s syht that they finally met a rich heir as not a dip shi+t

“Hold one a second Why should we believe what you just said?”

Suddenly, a cold voice caroup of people

Everyone looked over toward the direction of the voice and saw Zhou Qinya stood still, crossing both arms across her chest

Qiu Yilun was taken aback at first, but quickly he saw Zhou Qinya’s point

Just so! Master Yuan was the only person in the rooe about Dharma Artifacts Most of them have no idea what a Dhar the real ones from the fake ones Therefore, they had to believe whatever Master Yuan had told them The question is, how could they trust Master Yuan?

They were ena Anpin’s charht, they felt there were s in this situation that didn’t add up So Anpin and Master Yuan were on the sa Anpin had lost the bid to Chen Fan and he very likely could have hired Master Yuan to lure Chen Fan into a two-man con If Master Yuan identified the item as fake, he could then offer to buy the fake artifact froer this lady does not trust ry

“I have seen swindlers such as you tooShui or I-ching and lure people into thinking that so to happen to thee sum of money You will then slowly extract profit froer danced in Zhou Qinya’s eyes as she flung back at Master Yuan
