The craftsmanship of those half-authentic and fake sets is very exquisite. In one set, the real and fake ones are almost the same in appearance and internal structure. To this level, it can be said that the fake ones are at the pinnacle of excellence. Such a fake only needs the endorsement of a few experts, and the fake can become real, because it is really impossible to tell the difference. As for the issue of age identification, there are many methods to change the age of antiques, so there is no need to worry.

Only someone like Lin Xiao, who relies solely on supernatural abilities, can see the strangeness. Looking at these fakes, Colonel Lin couldn't help but think of an amphorae he encountered in Kuncheng that day. The imitation was flawless, but the maker was a little too naughty and insisted on marking the inside of one of the earrings on the bottle. If Lin The school didn't have clairvoyant eyes and couldn't detect it at all.

As for the fakes here, they don’t even have any markings, so it’s really hard to tell the authenticity from the fake.

Schoolmaster Lin finished absorbing the white light of all the genuine items before picking out five sets of fakes.

Gu Xinyi saw these five sets of porcelain and asked with some confusion:

"Are you sure it's these five sets?"

"Yes, there are actually three sets that are also fakes, but the old man only wants five sets, so these five sets will be fine."

There are some porcelains in this room that Gu Xinyi has never seen before. She is confident that she has learned from her grandfather since she was a child and has mastered the appraisal skills. However, facing such porcelain, she cannot judge whether it is authentic or fake.

"Is this a fake? Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Gu Xinyi picked up a pair of pastel bowls and thought they were real.

"Feel!"

Principal Lin's answer was simple and clear. Gu Xinyi just thought that Principal Lin was perfunctory.

"I'll ask Grandpa to judge."

After Old Man Gu came in, he looked surprised when he saw the five sets of porcelain that Principal Lin picked out.

It was hard for him to believe that Colonel Lin had correctly identified all the porcelains. It was difficult even for him to identify these five sets of porcelain.

Old Man Gu is a collector, and porcelain is the focus of his collection. He thinks that no one can beat him in porcelain appraisal, because he also has another identity, that is, a master of porcelain production, and most of these new porcelains are He made them all with his own hands, and he thought they were perfect, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would see through them.

"Young man, tell me why these five sets are fakes?"

Old Man Gu suppressed the panic and frustration in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"As for the manufacturing process, I think it is impeccable, but these things lack popularity."

Faced with Old Man Gu's doubts, Principal Lin did not deal with it as he did with Gu Xinyi, but instead said what he had already thought of.

In fact, School Lin’s remarks are not just nonsense. School Lin relies on the white light of antiques to identify antiques, and the richness of the white light is related to the popularity of the antique. If the owner of the antique is very powerful, then the white light will It's very rich. If it were just a daily necessities in ordinary people's homes, the white light would be very thin. Therefore, it makes sense for School Lin to say that he lacks popularity.

"Popularity? How do you judge it?"

Old Man Gu doesn't understand very well. You know, when he makes imitations, he always makes a fuss about the gloss and polish of the imitations, which is to make the imitations look like antiques, especially those half-real and half-fake suits. He even thought over and over again to make the luster and charm of the new product the same as the real thing, so how did Principal Lin identify it.

"It's hard to say this. I just have a feeling. After all, antiques have a history. Some of them may have been viewed and played by dozens of owners, and they will naturally become popular. This kind of accumulation over hundreds of thousands of years is Counterfeit products don’t have it anyway.”

Schoolmaster Lin gave his reasons.

After hearing this, Old Man Gu thought thoughtfully. Although he could not fully understand what Colonel Lin meant by popularity, which was illusory, there was indeed nothing wrong with Colonel Lin's statement.

"Then what are the half-truths and half-falsehoods you're talking about?"

Old Man Gu has now begun to believe in Colonel Lin's eyesight. He wants to know how strong Colonel Lin's eyesight can be.

Principal Lin pointed three times at random. Old Man Gu's expression changed when he saw this, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After a long pause, he said:

"Young man, you are awesome and you passed the test. Come with me."

Principal Lin looked at the time and made an appointment with Yuan Linglong to pick him up from the company today, so he said:

"I have something to do tonight and I will leave at five o'clock, but don't worry, today's appraisal fee will be paid tomorrow. If you can't finish it today, I will come over early tomorrow morning."

Old Man Gu didn't care about this and agreed immediately, but Gu Xinyi started gossiping:

"What's wrong, do you have a date tonight?"

Principal Lin ignored her. He was actually a little uneasy now. The old man Gu just showed him the room, and there were so many fakes in it. He didn't care that the old man's other collections also had the same proportion of fakes, so he had to pick out the fakes. It would be troublesome to come out.

The three of them arrived at the underground level. After passing through a security door, Lin Xiao discovered that the entire underground level was a large room filled with shelves, and the shelves were all filled with antiques.

"Young man, I heard from Lao Qian that your identification skills are superb. This is a collection of fine items that I have collected over the years. You should start looking at this layer first. If you have any questions, just leave them to Xinxin."

Xinxin is Gu Xinyi's nickname. It seems that Old Man Gu is still worried and wants his granddaughter to be the supervisor.

Principal Lin looked around for a few minutes. Fortunately, the situation he was worried about did not appear. The place was basically full of high-quality antiques, with rich white light and many with yellow light. It seemed that Old Man Gu had a lot of foreign collections.

Principal Lin was overjoyed. Now he could finally absorb it, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

The quality of the collection here is generally very high, but the arrangement seems to be disorganized. Porcelain, miscellaneous items, ancient jades, etc. are all put together. Only paintings and calligraphy are placed on a separate shelf. Schoolmaster Lin can't help but feel a little confused:

"Aren't the things here divided by category?"

Gu Xinyi seemed not very familiar with this place:

"I rarely come here. My grandfather takes care of it himself. I guess I put it here according to its value."

Principal Lin did not comment, he just picked them up one by one and absorbed them. He looked at two entire shelves and found no fakes.

Principal Lin hadn't absorbed so much energy for a long time. He just felt that there was a constant flow of air in his eyes, which was tingling and very comfortable.

Gu Xinyi was sitting by herself playing with her mobile phone. Seeing that Principal Lin had not spoken for a long time and looked intoxicated, she couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Have you found any fakes? Can you do it?"
