"We're finally in Xidu Province." Lin Han wiped the sweat from his forehead after getting off the car, stood in front of a roadside shop under the scorching sun, and bought a bottle of ice water.

The treasure appraisal conference will be held tomorrow, so Lin Han has to come to Xidu Province in advance.

"Brother, are you also here to watch the treasure appraisal conference in Xidu Province?" Just then, a man who got off the car with him asked Lin Han. He was an ordinary-looking man.

You can tell that he can't sit still and can't stop talking once he starts.

"Yeah! You too?" Lin Han was very surprised. Although he actually came here to appraise treasures, unlike the ordinary spectators, he still did watch.

Moreover, if he told others about it, they probably wouldn't believe that he was a treasure appraiser at such a young age and was qualified to appraise treasures.

So it’s better not to say it, so as to avoid being disliked by others.

"Hey! I'm a treasure appraiser. Do you want me to teach you?"

However, Lin Han did not show off. Instead, he started to show off, raising his head, looking proud, and pointing his thumb at his chest with a smug smile.

"Ah, this..." Lin Han pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he didn't know how to answer.

However, he became very curious when he heard that the other person was also in this line of work, because this person was almost the same age as him, and even seemed to be two years younger than him.

If he is already a master of treasure appraisal at this age, he is truly extremely talented and has a bright future.

"May I ask?" Lin Han looked at him curiously and asked.

"My name is Du Rongsheng, you can call me Brother Sheng." Du Rongsheng patted his chest.

Brother Sheng? Hearing this title, Lin Han was somewhat resistant. It was too strange to call someone younger than him Brother Sheng. However, if his treasure appraisal ability was better than his, it would make sense.

It is also common for someone's ability to exceed his or her seniority.

Looking at Du Rongsheng's confident look, he must have some ability, so he called him Brother Sheng.

"Brother Sheng, where are you from? Are you knowledgeable about appraising treasures?" Lin Han wanted to know whether he was good or not. After all, they would definitely be competitors in the future.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

"I'm from Yandu. My ancestors have been doing this business for generations. There used to be a lot of treasures in the sea. If you're lucky, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"So that's it!" Lin Han nodded after hearing this and roughly understood the situation.

It is normal for people who have been in this business for generations to be masters of treasure appraisal at this age. After all, they have been involved in antiques since childhood and have probably touched more antiques than they have eaten rice. Even those who do not have talent can become masters of antique appraisal.

And if the person is very talented, he will be like a fish in water and may even become the leading treasure appraiser in the future.

Although Du Rongsheng's level is still unclear, he has already included Du Rongsheng in his special attention list.

"Look at this thing. How about I sell it to you at a low price? I bought it for 100,000 yuan. If you sell it, you can get at least 150,000 yuan if you are good at speaking."

Du Rongsheng said as he took out a jade ruyi from his pocket and stroked it, feeling the silky and cool touch, while saying with pride.

Just because of this, Lin Han deleted him from his watch list, because he could tell at a glance that the thing was a fake, but the skill of making it look real was quite high, so it was normal that ordinary treasure appraisers could not tell the difference.

Since Du Rongsheng couldn't see it, that could only mean that his strength was limited.

Of course, it is also possible that he is disguising his strength, but it is unlikely that he would disguise his strength to a stranger. Lin Han's reputation is not as good as those of the masters who are well-known far and wide, so there is no need to be wary of him.

"I have no money!" Lin Han smiled bitterly.

"Oh, I see..." Du Rongsheng looked at Lin Han carefully and nodded slightly.

Indeed, Lin Han's outfit doesn't look like someone who can easily spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it's normal that he can't afford it.

However, he is not the kind of snob who would ignore people just because they have no money. Even though they have no money, it is fate that they met.

"The treasure appraisal competition doesn't start until tomorrow. How about you come with me to have some fun today?"

"Having fun?" Lin Han narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips in disdain.

I thought to myself, this guy wouldn't be the kind of person who often goes to romantic places?

"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm a serious person. I heard that there's an auction nearby that's selling antiques. It can be considered a small treasure appraisal conference. I just wanted to ask if you're interested in going with me. Aren't you going to broaden your horizons tomorrow anyway?"

"Going with a stranger?" Lin Han held his chin, somewhat unconvinced. Although he seemed to be fine and could even produce a fake, it would be troublesome if he was trying to trick him into having a kidney removed.

"I just want to make some companions. It's okay for me to go alone. It's not far anyway. Besides, this auction has a threshold and not just anyone can enter." Seeing that he was suspicious, Du Rongsheng walked away by himself.

Lin Han took out his cell phone to check and found that there was indeed an auction in the local area, and it was only a few kilometers away from here and could be reached in a short walk.

"Wait, we can go together!"

Thinking there was no problem, Lin Han shouted at him and ran towards him.

Anyway, we are unfamiliar with the place, and everyone is a stranger, so it doesn't matter who we go with. And in broad daylight, people generally won't do anything rash.

The two of them came to the auction together and were stopped by someone at the door, but Du Rongsheng gave the person a business card and was let in.

Lin Han came with him, so he was not stopped by anyone, but many people behind him were unable to come in.

This is normal. People without money can only cause trouble if they go in.

This place is a large exhibition hall, like a church, with many rows of chairs and many tempered glass cabinets on both sides, where you can see the antiques displayed inside.

Amber, luminous pearls, some unearthed cultural relics and the like are all genuine items, but they are not for auction. They are just used to show the heritage of this auction house.

Only those with financial resources and professional appraisers dare to come here to bid for things or give things to them to sell.

Lin Han and Du Rongsheng found a place to sit down, and then Du Rongsheng began to look around, pointing at things in the glass cabinet and explaining some knowledge to Lin Han. Although Lin Han basically understood it all, he didn't say anything.

He was very clear about the feelings of those who kept explaining knowledge to others. If he said that he understood it all, it would be like pouring cold water on Du Rongsheng. Du Rongsheng would probably shut up and think about life for a long time.

"Everyone is welcome to come to our Du family auction today. The items here will definitely open your eyes."

"Wait? The Du family?"
