At the unanimous request of the museum directors and accompanying experts.
Xu Lu finally brought the suitcase and everyone inside.
Actually, he wanted to resolve this matter quickly on the spot so he could go back to filming.
However, when the experts heard that they were going to appraise such a world-renowned treasure as the Imperial Seal of the State on the side of a main road, they all said it was not possible.
This is incredibly disrespectful to a super antique worth 50 billion.
Furthermore, if the appraisal is conducted here and a mistake is made, everyone present will be a sinner against history.
So Xu Lu had no choice but to comply and followed the group to an indoor area.
As for who found this place, he didn't really know for a moment.
"Look everyone, this is the jade seal mentioned in the report. Experts can judge its authenticity for themselves!"
As Xu Lu spoke, he opened the box, and then he was instantly pushed to the very back.
"Everyone, stop pushing! Everyone, stop pushing! Look one at a time. If someone gets hurt, who will be responsible?"
Someone shouted something, and the crowd finally calmed down a bit.
But when they saw the jade seal displayed in a padded box, everyone's eyes lit up.
Fortunately, everyone felt that if the Imperial Seal of the State were to be broken, no one could afford to pay for it.
So reason gradually returned to him.
Next, one expert after another conducted the most meticulous appraisal of the jade seal.
"This is amazing! Is this the Imperial Seal of the State? I can almost feel the weight of history on it!"
"It is undoubtedly the genuine Imperial Seal of the State, symbolizing divine mandate and eternal prosperity, representing the ancient Chinese concept of the divine right of kings..."
"Compared to this genuine Imperial Seal of the State, the seal of the Gallic delegation is at most an imperial seal."
The two are not only worlds apart in significance, but also incomparable in value, differing by at least a hundredfold.
"I never imagined I'd live to see such a super antique come to light. I could die happy!"
...
"This Imperial Seal of the State is a true treasure. Given its historical significance, it would be best placed in the museum of our capital!"
"Old Li, you're wrong about that. What's wrong with our Nanjing Provincial Museum? Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties, you know..."
"Ahem, that's right, that's right. If you put it that way, Chang'an is more suitable. It's the ancient capital of ten dynasties, isn't it?"
"Speaking of ancient capitals, I would say that everyone here is trash. Who dares to compare with the ancient capitals of our sixteen dynasties in the Southern River region?"
...
"Everyone, if you ask me, who is qualified to possess this Imperial Seal of the State depends on what Mr. Xu thinks."
You should know that Mr. Xu is from Hongcheng, and this Imperial Seal of the State was also discovered in Hongcheng. Need I say more?
As soon as Director Xie of Hongcheng Museum made this statement, everyone's attention returned to Xu Lu.
That's right!
No matter how much everyone argues now, the final decision still rests with the original owner of the jade seal.
Rather than comparing who has visited an ancient capital more times, it would be more useful to cultivate a good relationship with this Mr. Xu.
After all, it's a super antique worth 50 billion.
So the museum directors present were already considering what attractive offers they could make.
But at that moment, Xu Lu walked to the table.
Then, under the terrified gazes of many.
He didn't even wear gloves; he casually grabbed the jade seal and immediately said:
"Everyone, have you finished your appraisal? Is this the genuine Imperial Seal of the State?"
Upon hearing this, many experts present nodded in agreement:
"It's definitely genuine!"
"The Hongcheng Museum has authenticated it as a genuine Imperial Seal of the State."
"The Nanjing Museum has also confirmed that this jade seal is genuine..."
...
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xu Lu suddenly shook his head with a strange expression and said decisively:
"I'm afraid I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but this jade seal is not the real Imperial Seal of the State. You've all made a mistake in its identification."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, this is the genuine Imperial Seal of the State!"
Upon hearing Xu Lu's words, an expert immediately jumped out and loudly refuted them.
Some people also tried to reason with others, saying:
"Mr. Xu, with so many experts here who have authenticated it as genuine, it is undoubtedly the authentic Imperial Seal of the State."
Everyone here has been in this industry for decades. It's possible for one person to make a mistake, but if everyone makes a mistake at the same time, that's...
"Yeah, if we all make the same mistake, none of us will be able to survive!"
“Mr. Xu, you may not be an expert on antiques, and you may have heard someone say before that this isn’t genuine, so…”
"Mr. Xu, please trust the professional competence of those of us present..."
...
Seeing the crowd in front of him all saying that what Xu Lu was holding in his hand was the genuine Imperial Seal of the State.
Xu Lu was finally dumbfounded. It seems that sometimes, if the forgery methods are too sophisticated, it's not a good thing.
Because in that way, no one else will be able to spot the flaws, and they will all assume that the fake is real.
But whether this thing is real or not, doesn't Xu Lu himself know?
The jade seal in his hand was carved by him using the jade material he bought himself and the 'antiquities forgery' technique from the 'Antiques Expertise' skill.
It only cost tens of thousands of yuan in total, plus two days and one night of production time.
If this thing were the real Imperial Seal of the State, worth 50 billion, then that would be a real joke...
