77: C77 Jade Lion

C77 Jade Lion

However, Jiang Hua knew clearly in his heart that if he wanted to do something in the appraisal world, no matter if it was the Real Qi's appraisal or the Netherworld Blood Pupil, he would have to familiarize himself with it.

Because of a jade work of art, jade does not fully represent its value, external carving and cultural meaning, is also an important part of its value. To appraise the value of a piece of jade art, one had to assess both the quality of the art from the inside to the outside.

Real Qi s used to appraise the insides of jade artifacts, and the Netherworld Blood Pupil was used to examine the exterior. Only then would one be able to completely assess the value of a cultural relic.

Thinking about this, Jiang Hua immediately realized that even if he wasn't a doctor, he might be able to survive in the antique industry.

No matter what, Jiang Hua was tempted by his curiosity. He planned to buy some books on appraisal to study it.

Since he still didn't have the ability to appraise, Jiang Hua could only rely on the quantity of spiritual energy to evaluate his value.

After walking half a circle, Jiang Hua smiled wryly inside, he really couldn't pick up any cheap items. Jade tools with spiritual energy sufficient were usually expensive, and they were cheap and lacked spiritual energy. It was not easy to pick them up.

The shop assistant on the fourth floor had long been replaced by an old man. He was wearing an old glasses and was a shrewd thief. It was obvious that he was an expert in appraisal.

Jiang Hua was gradually a little disappointed. He would be so embarrassed if he couldn't find a suitable jade artifact to give to Liu Xinyuv as a present.

"Jiang Hua, the most important thing is your intentions. I don't care about the price anymore."

Seeing that Jiang Hua still hadn't made up his mind to buy that one after picking for a long time, Liu Xinyuv thought to herself that he might not have enough money.

"With Sister Xinyuv's words, I'm relieved.

Jiang Hua chuckled and finally let out a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward if he didn't get a proper present for Liu Xinyuv after watching the entire venue.

"However, I still feel that if it was a bit more valuable, you would have more face if I wore it out, no?"

Liu Xinyuv's words changed the topic, making Jiang Hua feel even more pressured.

The old clerk kept nagging on the side. Jiang Hua completely ignored him and focused on jumping around randomly, bringing the jade artifact into his hands to be appraised by the Real Qi.

Suddenly, when Jiang Hua held a Jade Lion in his hands, he was shocked.

After searching for so long, he finally found a treasure.

When Jiang Hua probed, he found that the spirit energy emitted by the Jade Lion was extremely stimulating. Even the jade pendant in his body could feel the spirit energy coming from the Jade Lion, and it was trembling slightly.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Hua was shocked. Only now did he realize that the spiritual energy was not emitted from the Jade Lion, but from an item inside the Jade Lion's body.

From the impression Jiang Hua had in his mind, he quickly came to the conclusion that the Jade Lion statue seemed to be solid, but in the middle, there appeared to be a mysterious hollow space.

What was even more unbelievable was that in a hollow place, there was a jade with surging spirit energy hidden inside, it was just like the heart of a Jade Lion.

The color and size of the jade was something Jiang Hua did not see personally. What he did not know was that the Real Qi could only detect flaws and spirit energy, it could not figure out the color and size of the jade.

The only way to find out what the jade inside the Jade Lion looked like was to smash apart this palm-sized Jade Lion.

"Old sir, this Jade Lion carving technique is not bad, is it the work of that master?"

Jiang Hua made up his mind that he must buy this Jade Lion.

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally said in a very honest tone, "To be honest, I am not sure. But this is something from the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely an antique. It's for the best. "

Jiang Hua looked at the bid. Two hundred thousand, he really dared to bid. Judging from the appearance of the Jade Lion and the quality of the emerald, it was definitely not worth much.

He only dared to put such a high price on it because he had added the name of an antique.

"Do you like it?"

Jiang Hua smiled and asked Liu Xinyuv beside him.1

"Using it as a mascot is not bad, but it's too expensive. I think we should forget about it."

Liu Xinyuv shook her head, not intending to let Jiang Hua buy it. From her point of view, Jiang Hua was just a doctor, and the money he earned in a month was not much. This two hundred thousand was not a small amount, so she couldn't let Jiang Hua waste his money. Furthermore, the Jade Lion's appearance was not that exquisite. No matter what, it was not worth that much.

"I really like this Jade Lion, but you don't, so forget it."

Jiang Hua had to think of a way to push down the price as much as he could save. After all, he didn't have much money with him.

"Sister Xinyuv, let's go. There aren't any good things here, other than this Jade Lion, I don't like anything else."

Jiang Hua said it so clearly because he wanted to tell the old man that he was only interested in this Jade Lion.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, it's so good to have this Jade Lion guarding the house. If you guys really want to, I'll give you ten percent off of me."

The old man was a smart person, if he calculated, he would know that Jiang Hua thought it was too expensive.

"I want a discount."

Jiang Hua replied expressionlessly.

The old man's face fell as he said with a dark expression, "Young man, are you joking with me? This is an antique, how could it be bought for 20,000 yuan?"

"The stones my family uses to pave the road are also ancient items. No one wants them at all. This lion of yours isn't famous for his skills, and isn't a master teacher sculptor either. He sells his appearance for quite a bit of dirt and dregs, and the quality of his jade is outrageously lacking.

Jiang Hua was so angry that the old man frowned.

"If you don't want to sell it, then we'll be leaving."

Liu Xinyuv held Jiang Hua's hand, intending to leave.

Jiang Hua's heart tightened. He couldn't bear to part with it. Even if it was two hundred thousand, he was determined to take it. How could he leave?

Just when Jiang Hua was in a dilemma and didn't know whether to leave or stay, the old man couldn't hold it in anymore.

"How about this, 80,000 yuan is enough, if you want to buy it then buy it, there's no other way."

Business was hard. The old man gritted his teeth, intending to earn less.

"Alright, I'll take it." Jiang Hua agreed immediately.

The old man was shocked by the straightforward answer. He quickly picked up the Jade Lion and carefully appraised it again. He hoped that he did not make a mistake and let Jiang Hua pick it up.

It was just that he had seen the Jade Lion more than a hundred times, and had already confirmed that it was an ordinary work of art.

In the end, the old man sold it to Jiang Hua for eighty thousand yuan.

The invoice was opened, the card was swiped, and the transaction was officially completed.

Jiang Hua took the Jade Lion in his hands and smiled excitedly. He threw the Jade Lion up, but didn't receive it with his hands. Instead, he let the Jade Lion directly fall to the ground.

"Pah!" With a 'thud', this emerald Jade Lion could not stand up to the fall. It fell onto the marble and directly broke into four pieces.
