Soon, the soil at the bottom of the teapot was soaked and softened. As Lin Han moved his fingers, the soil was pushed away, revealing a few words.

After the words appeared, Lin Han poured most of the remaining mineral water down to wash away the remaining dirt.

In less than a moment, the words on the bottom of the purple clay teapot were completely revealed.

"Bing Xin Taoist."

"Use your phone to check for Taoist Bing Xin."

"Look up the purple clay teapots made by Cheng Shouzhen, a Taoist monk in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China."

Lin Han put the purple clay teapot back into the box, and then glanced at the various cultural relics.

"What! This is actually a purple clay teapot made by Master Cheng himself!"

Looking at the words constantly appearing on the phone screen, Mr. Zhou's heart was already filled with waves.

Cheng Shouzhen is a famous artist who specializes in making purple clay teapots!

Cheng Shouzhen made countless purple clay teapots in his lifetime, most of which are circulated among the people and are well-known to the world.

In his middle and late years, he only made three types of pots: Duoqiu, Fanggu and Hanbian. They were stamped with words such as "Bingxin Taoist" and "Eighty-two Old Men" to make them easy to identify.

In addition, Cheng Shouzhen was good at imitating Shao Daheng's teapot, which won the first prize and the excellent prize at the Panama World Expo in 1915 and the Chicago Expo in 1932. After that, the teapots he made were stamped with the inscription "Eighty-two old men made this teapot, and it won the "Excellent Prize" at the Panama and International Products Exhibition", and the seal "Shouzhen" in seal script was stamped on the handle, and the small seal "Zhenji" in regular script was stamped on the handle.

Although, the Bing Xin Taoist Pot cannot be considered the best work produced by Master Cheng Shouzhen.

However, its value is also immeasurable. The world-famous purple clay teapot is hidden among the people and can create a sensation when it comes out.

But these are not the most important things to Lin Han.

The most important thing is that the emergence of famous teapots can not only promote the advancement of craftsmanship and technology, but also bring glory to the country.

As far as Lin Han knows, the market for purple clay teapots has been sluggish in recent years, and Chinese people have paid less and less attention to ancient heritage, and even the production technology has been stolen by the United States, Europe and other countries.

Not only are they not as good as the United States and European countries, but Chinese technology is also used to slap the Chinese people in the face, and the purple clay teapots made in China are completely suppressed. This is the thing that Lin Han cannot tolerate the most.

And now, the purple clay teapot made by Cheng Shouzhen himself has come into the world, which can effectively destroy the prestige of the United States and European countries.

"Lin Han, how did you find out? Why can't I see it at all?"

If it weren’t for Lin Han, Master Zhou really wouldn’t have been able to see the extraordinary nature of this purple clay teapot.

Thinking of this, Master Zhou had to be deeply convinced of Lin Han's ability. It was an almost ordinary thing, but Lin Han could easily see its extraordinaryness.

"In fact, it is not difficult to find that this purple clay teapot looks ordinary, but if you observe it carefully, you can still see many extraordinary features."

"As you said, apart from this recessed niche with a person sitting inside, there is nothing precious about this purple clay teapot."

"But the extraordinary thing is this recessed niche, with a person sitting inside. I wonder how many people from ancient times to the present can achieve such technical skills?"

"Also, although there are sophisticated instruments available today, judging by the carving marks on this recessed niche, it is impossible for machines to achieve this kind of craftsmanship."

"The second is that the color of this purple clay teapot seems to have faded. It doesn't look like the color of a genuine purple clay teapot at all. You can tell at a glance that it is fake."

"But have you ever thought that any cultural relic, after being weathered by wind and rain and bearing the marks of history, can no longer be as new as before?"

"In addition, the carved cloud pattern is very similar to the craftsmanship of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Combining these three points, we can judge that this purple clay teapot is not simple."

"We can also roughly guess who made this purple clay teapot."

Lin Han explained.

Any of Lin Han’s points can be refuted if taken separately, and there are even many points that can be questioned. However, once these three points are combined and linked together, they form a mutually argumentative relationship.

In this argument, there is almost nothing to refute.

After listening to Lin Han's explanation, Mr. Zhou's admiration for him increased even more.

These seemingly ordinary things actually have so many extraordinary features in Lin Han's eyes. His eyesight is enough to kill most treasure appraisers in seconds.

You know, Lin Han didn't even touch the purple clay teapot, but just took a quick look at it, and he was able to identify such an extraordinary thing. This is simply against common sense.

Young Master Zhou also studied antiques, and felt that his ability to identify antiques and treasures was not much worse than that of ordinary experts. However, compared with Lin Chen, he was instantly defeated.

However, what's funny is that the owner of the antique shop sold this precious purple clay teapot for 300,000 yuan, thinking he had made a fortune and treating others as fools. Little did he know that he was the fool.

After putting away the purple clay teapot, Lin Han and Mr. Zhou walked into the second antique shop.

Lin Han was on this trip to search for treasures and enrich his own resources, while Master Zhou was probing Lin Han's abilities and estimating whether he could help him win at the treasure appraisal auction in a few days.

From the current perspective, Lin Han does have a good ability to appraise treasures, but it has not yet reached the standard in Mr. Zhou’s mind.

Before he knew that the ancient jade was the Spring and Autumn Jade Snake Dragon Patterned Jadeite, Master Zhou fully believed in Lin Han's abilities.

After all, at that time, he didn't have such a strong desire to win or not.

But ever since he knew that the ancient jade was the Spring and Autumn Jadeite with Snake Dragon Pattern, Master Zhou knew that he must not lose this auction competition, and the Spring and Autumn Jadeite with Snake Dragon Pattern must not fall into the hands of the Bai family.

"Boss, what is this?"

Lin Han came to a piece of jade and asked in confusion.

The jade is green jade, thick and flake-shaped. On the front is a protruding divine figure, with round and large eye sockets and upturned eye corners, engraved flame-shaped eyebrows, garlic-shaped nose, sharp beak, two earlobes with rings, very fine hair lines, and decorated with hair bands, short arms, two claws slightly retracted and placed in front of the mouth, wings slightly spread and the wing tips resting on the side of the tail. There is a concave ring on the back of the object, and three pairs of equally spaced perforations on the edge.

Every step of the workmanship is very delicate and ingenious, and every stroke is just right.

"This thing, this is good stuff!"

"This is a jade artifact from the Spring and Autumn Period! Look at the color, the luster, and the patterns. Every stroke is a masterpiece by a famous artist!"

The owner of the antique shop walked up to Lin Han and gave an introduction in a vivid manner.
