Qin Yuan had been worrying about it until Wei Ziqing got those thousand-year-old ginseng and ganoderma. He also had to think of a way to get a Fire Cauldron that specialized in refining medicinal pills. This way, the effect of refining the Energy Restoring Pill would be even better. But this Fire Cauldron belonged to the highest grade cauldron in the Profound Sect. It was something that could only be chanced upon by luck and not sought after. If it was in the ancient times, it could still be found. But now, in the modern times... There were very few people who cultivated and concocted pills, and this Fire Cauldron was even more difficult to find.
What Qin Yuan never expected was that today, he actually saw the Fire Cauldron with his own eyes. It was the urn that Luo Ming took out.
One of the biggest characteristics of this Fire Cauldron was its heat expansion and contraction. When it encountered heat, it could slowly grow bigger. When the temperature reached a certain degree, this row of fire cauldrons would become the size of a boiler, or even as tall as a person.
But if the temperature dropped, the Fire Cauldron would slowly shrink. When the temperature dropped to a certain degree, it would even shrink to the size of a palm, just like the urn in front of him.
It was very obvious that the one Luo Ming took out was not an ash cylinder at all. It was a Fire Cauldron. When the temperature dropped to a certain extent, the Fire Cauldron would shrink to the size of a palm.
Of course, the reason why Qin Yuan could recognize this Fire Cauldron at a glance was mainly because of the knowledge of refining cauldrons in the Profound Sect that gushed out of his mind, as well as the strong recognition he had when his eyes flashed with a silver light.
At this time, Han Yu and Luo Zhilan were constantly complaining about Du Fei.
"Aiya, Du Fei, what's the matter with you? How could you spend tens of millions to buy a fake painting? Isn't this a huge loss? "
Luo Zhilan said," That's right. Hubby, you spent so much money to buy a fake painting. It was a huge loss. No, we have to go to the auction and return the fake to them. We need to get our money back. "
Du Fei knew very well that he did not buy it from the auction. He had spent five thousand dollars to buy it from the high imitation painting market, but since he had lied, he had to tell the truth. So he forced himself to say, "Mom, Zhilan, the items sold at the auction will not be refunded. Sigh, I can only blame myself for not being optimistic and admitting my bad luck. But you guys believe me, I really don't know that this painting is fake. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money to buy a fake painting for Dad. I wouldn't have let Dad give this fake painting to Second Uncle. "
"Of course we believe you." Han Yu and Luo Zhilan said.
Du Fei turned to look at Chu Gengnian apologetically.
"Second Uncle, I'm really sorry. I wanted my dad to give you a special gift, but I didn't expect this painting to be fake."
Chu Gengnian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I can't blame you. It's just Du Fei. When he bought more paintings in the future, he had to keep his eyes open. This line of work was very complicated. There are many counterfeits in the market. People like you who don't often play with calligraphy and paintings. If you're not careful, you'll be cheated."
"Yes, yes, second uncle is right, I will definitely pay attention in the future" Du Fei said.
Chu Zijing said, "Eldest Uncle, my father has been playing with antiques and paintings for so many years. He is also very careful. You, how long have you been playing with calligraphy and paintings? There must be a lot of things that I don't understand. If you want me to say that I have the money, I can save it and live a good life. Eat something good with my aunt and drink something good. Don't play with any calligraphy or paintings anymore. Otherwise, you'll be cheated."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ming's face turned red. He wished he could find a hole to hide in. He felt ashamed in his heart. He had originally thought that he would have a good son-in-law. He could play with calligraphy and paintings like Chu Gengnian, but he did not expect that he was still not good enough.
Du Fei was also very angry in his heart. Initially, he wanted to use this painting to raise his status in front of his father-in-law and Chu Gengnian, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face. All of this was because of Qin Yuan, so he glared at Qin Yuan.
At this moment, Qin Yuan's attention was all on the urn. He stared at the urn for a long time. After confirming that it was the Fire Cauldron, he went forward and asked, "Uncle, where did you get this thing?"
Everyone was stunned. They followed Qin Yuan's gaze and looked at the urn.
Luo Ming also looked at the inconspicuous urn and said, "You're asking where this urn came from?"
"Yes."
"What kind of urn is this? This is just a worthless little thing that I randomly found in an antique store. It's just used as an urn. " Luo Ming said.
Qin Yuan was shocked. Such a precious Fire Cauldron was actually casually found in an antique store by him.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking this?" Luo Ming asked.
" Eh, nothing? " Qin Yuan said faintly.
Du Fei and the others looked at him with disdain. They thought to themselves, This good-for-nothing was still holding on to the painting just now. Why did he suddenly ask about an ash cylinder? It was a worthless thing. Instead, he had his eyes on it. He was an idiot.
Luo Ming finished smoking a cigarette and pressed the cigarette butt into the black urn. He stood up and said to Chu Gengnian, "Old Chu, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to give you a genuine piece of Tang Bohu's work. I didn't expect it to be fake. Since that's the case, I won't embarrass myself anymore. I'll take this painting back. As for the painting of the Luoshen Dynasty that you gave me... This is the authentic work of Gu Kaizhi. I'm too embarrassed to accept it. I'll return it to you."
Luo Ming was also a person who knew his own limitations. Since his painting was fake, how could he have the nerve to give it to someone else? That painting was real, so how could he have the nerve to accept it? Of course, he had to return it to that person.
Chu Gengnian was also a little embarrassed. He thought that if he gave it away, it wouldn't be good to get it back.
"Forget it, Old Luo. You don't know that this painting is fake. Just keep your eyes open and don't be deceived anymore. As for this painting of mine, since I have already given it to you, you should keep it." Chu Gengnian said.
Han Ying immediately jumped up upon hearing this.
"Old Chu, this won't do. This is a genuine painting of the Luoshen Dynasty. It is worth a few million. How can it be given away so easily? If the painting that Big Brother-in-law gave you is real, the two of you can exchange for it. Now that the eldest brother-in-law's painting is fake, our painting is real. If we exchange it again, we will suffer a huge loss. "
Han Ying had always been a straightforward person. She would never forgive others when she spoke. Even if she was her brother-in-law, she could not do business that would cost her money.
" Besides, Big Brother-in-law, you have never played with any antiques or paintings in the countryside before. You started to play with calligraphy and paintings as soon as you arrived in the city. Isn't it a little too rushed? If you want me to say it, take back your fake painting. Return my real painting to us. You can learn from Old Chu in the future. Wait! It's not too late to exchange when the time is right. Hehe, isn't that right, Big Sis? "
When these words came out, Han Yu and Luo Ming's faces became somewhat ugly. This clearly meant that they were country bumpkins and were not suitable to play with calligraphy and paintings. They had been cheated from the start. This was a huge loss. Furthermore, Han Ying's meaning was very obvious. Since your calligraphy and paintings are fake, then my husband's real painting will definitely not be given to you anymore. He will definitely get it back.
As Han Ying spoke, she stretched out her hand and rolled up the painting of the Luoshen Clan, preparing to put it away. But at this moment, Qin Yuan suddenly said, "Mom, I think this painting should be given to Uncle. How could she take back what she said?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Han Ying was also stunned. But immediately, she turned her head and gave Qin Yuan a fierce glare. She scolded loudly, "You useless trash, what are you saying? This painting was Gu Kai's authentic work, and it was worth millions. How can you give it away so easily? "
Han Yu and Luo Ming were a little embarrassed.
"Forget it. You guys should take back this authentic work of Gu Kaizhi. I, Luo Ming, am just a country bumpkin. How can I appreciate such a high level painting?" Luo Ming said in a self-deprecating manner. The idea of showing off in front of Chu Gengnian had already disappeared.
"That's right. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Then I will put away this painting first." Han Ying said and prepared to put away the painting again.
But Qin Yuan said, "Mom, since Dad decided to give this painting to Uncle, then give it to him. It's not good to take it back. Besides, Uncle doesn't know that Tang Bohu's painting is fake."
"Shut up, you wimp." If it wasn't for the crowd, Han Ying would have slapped Qin Yuan's face in anger.
However, what made her even angrier was still at the back.
Qin Yuan said again, "Uncle-in-law, this authentic work of Gu Kaizhi can be given to you, but can you give us this urn of yours?"
When these words came out, everyone stared at each other as if they were stunned.
"What, what did you say? You want me to give you this cylinder?" Luo Ming was completely stunned. He looked at his own black and slippery urn on the coffee table and did not understand what Qin Yuan was trying to do.
"Yes, Uncle. My father can use this authentic work of Gu Kai to exchange for your urn. Do you think it's okay?" Qin Yuan said.
