Upon setting foot on the farm, Luo Feng made a beeline for the main hall, which led him directly into a bedroom.
His eyes soon landed on an array of large wooden chests scattered untidily across the floor. He hadn’t needed to search for long.
The sight astounded the spectators of the livestream.
“Goodness, why do these chests evoke such a familiar sensation?” a comment popped up.
“Well, don’t all chests look like this?” another countered.
“You find them familiar because our host is always unearthing treasures from chests like these!” a third chimed in.
“Exactly! Whenever our host discovers a chest, it feels as if we’re beholding a hidden treasure!” echoed a fourth.
Their excitement palpable, the crowd started urging Luo Feng, “Come on, host, open these chests and reveal the treasures within!”
Even the city lord back in the capital couldn’t help but hold his breath in anticipation, aware that the climax was approaching.
A quick count revealed more than seventy chests within the room. If these were indeed filled with relics, there could be over a thousand artifacts.
Notably, this was just one of many rooms housing chests. Could the others hold similar treasures?
Meanwhile, Luo Feng drew a deep breath, steadying himself, his demeanor relaxed despite the potential treasures surrounding him.
He reached for a large lock and swiftly struck it with his Swallowtail Hoe. With a satisfying click, the lock broke off.
The apparent ease of this task belied the true difficulty. Without the Swallowtail Hoe and Luo Feng’s strength, an average person would have struggled to break the lock so efficiently.
He tossed the broken lock aside and opened the chest. Inside, he was greeted by a layer of oilcloth, used for waterproofing.
More comments flooded in, “Isn’t this becoming more familiar as we go?”
“Absolutely! It’s like déj? vu!”
“Surely, there won’t only be treasures in here, right?” “Do you think if our host is involved, it’s not a treasure?”
“I suspect it might just be someone’s stored supplies!”
Everyone wondered about such an isolated farm. Who would stash treasures here? It seemed preposterous.
If this place were a basement or a military fortress, they’d readily believe in hidden treasures. But here, there remained some skeptics.
However, Luo Feng wasn’t deterred. He quickly lifted the oilcloth, revealing objects wrapped in silk. Their odd shapes were indistinguishable, yet characteristic.
To the uninitiated, the shapes might seem peculiar. But to Luo Feng and his regular viewers, these objects bore the unmistakable silhouette of porcelain. Still, nobody dared to voice their guess, lest they be proven wrong.
Silently, Luo Feng picked up a wrapped object and peeled off the silk. A vase was revealed.
A gasp arose from the chat, “Old Luo, what era does this vase belong to? Is it an antique?”
“No question about it! Given its preservation, it has to be!”
Upon examining the vase, Luo Feng confidently stated, “This is a vase from the
Qianlong period. And it’s authentic!”
A collective gasp reverberated through the virtual room, whether from Li Shishi and Miss Uesugi, who stood beside Luo Feng, or from the netizens online.
Li Shishi was Luo Feng’s beloved companion on this trip to Nara, while Miss Uesugi was a continuing partner from their successful collaboration in Hiroshima.
“An authentic piece from the Qianlonq period? Is this a Chinese cultural relic?” “Could the entire chest be brimming with relics?”
“Where on earth did these come from?”
The chat exploded with incredulous comments, everyone was stunned by the sheer number of relics appearing suddenly.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng offered little explanation. Looking at Li Shishi, he remained composed.
But Uesugi Eri was already gazing at Luo Feng with admiration. She had always known he was China’s best treasure hunter, but witnessing his prowess twice in person left her in awe.
Moreover, he was exceptionally tall and handsome. In Japan, a man with such ability and looks was indeed a rare catch, a worldwide standard for women choosing a partner, irrespective of nationality.
Without further ado, Luo Feng continued unwrapping the silk-encased objects. Upon opening, all were porcelain.
Every chest in the room brimmed with porcelain.
“From the Kangxi era!” “The Qianlong era!”
“The Daoguang era!”
“This chest is actually filled with Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain!”
“There are even several chests of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain!”
Luo Feng’s ability to determine the age of the artifacts at a mere glance left the professionals in awe. It was akin to an ordinary person trying to discern the gender of creatures in the animal kingdom, where distinctive characteristics needed to be identified.
But for Luo Feng, it was as effortless as distinguishing between human males and females. This was the stark difference between an expert with a distinct advantage and one without..
