"This..."
Bai Jingchang fell into hesitation, unable to speak for a long time!
Because Li Yang's appraisal results were all correct, and the value of this item far exceeded his imagination.
"Elder Bai, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us if this antique is real or fake? How much is it worth?"
The young audience present had lost their patience and hurriedly inquired.
"This item is real, it is indeed a peerless treasure, and its value is higher than my three antiques." After a moment of hesitation, Bai Jingchang finally admitted the value of the item.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience's mouths widened, standing there dumbfounded, like wooden statues!
Immediately after, Bai Jingchang personally returned the item to Li Yang and said, "Young man, I didn't expect your appraisal skills to be so high. I underestimated you just now. This bet doesn't need to continue, I concede."
"Thank you, Elder Bai!"
Li Yang smiled faintly, seeing the embarrassment on Bai Jingchang's face.
He was worried that after all three antiques were appraised, the gap between them would only widen, and he would lose even more face!
So admitting defeat now was also a way to save some face, so as not to lose too badly.
The audience heard Bai Jingchang's words, their expressions were even more astonished than before.
No one expected that Li Yang, with just one antique, had actually won against Elder Bai. This kid's skill was actually above that of a grandmaster!
"Elder Bai, since you have conceded, shouldn't you also give me the bronze seven-story pagoda you are holding?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
"Bai is not as skilled as you today and is willing to hand it over!"
Bai Jingchang personally handed the antique to Li Yang, then asked, "Young man, may I ask who your master is? Who did you learn your appraisal skills from?"
"I have no master; I learned it myself."
Li Yang responded simply. After taking over the antique, he quickly felt the spiritual energy within it being transmitted into his body.
In just a few seconds, he felt the spiritual energy in his dantian become much stronger than before.
The key was that he had only absorbed the spiritual energy from one layer of the pagoda, and the other six layers had yet to be absorbed.
If he absorbed all of it, his strength would definitely improve, and his clairvoyant golden finger might even become stronger than before.
"Young man, with such appraisal talent, you are indeed a prodigy in appraisal. It is Bai's honor to meet an opponent like you today."
Bai Jingchang gradually recovered from his surprise, took out a business card from his person, and handed it to Li Yang, saying, "Young man, if you encounter any problems in the antique world in the future, you can contact me anytime. Bai is willing to befriend you today."
"Thank you, Elder Bai. I was just lucky to win this bet. If I were given another chance, I wouldn't dare to guarantee victory."
Li Yang responded with feigned modesty, which was equivalent to giving Bai Jingchang an out.
Bai Jingchang chuckled awkwardly. Although he didn't say much, he knew in his heart that his appraisal skills were indeed inferior to this young man.
After exchanging pleasantries with Li Yang, he bid farewell and left first.
However, the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed a line of numbers appearing above his head, with a note behind it indicating "car accident."
Li Yang was greatly surprised. He didn't expect his clairvoyant golden finger to become stronger. The words in the note must be the cause of death.
Without a word, he quickly called out to Bai Jingchang to remind him, "Elder Bai, wait a moment."
"Young man? Is there anything else?" Bai Jingchang asked, turning back.
"Elder Bai, you might not believe what I'm about to say, but it's better to believe it than not. Therefore, I hope you will listen to me once, no matter what, and understand the consequences!"
Li Yang had reminded others many times before, but no one believed him. So this time, he preemptively stated the reminder.
Bai Jingchang's face was solemn, not knowing what Li Yang was going to say, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I promise. You can speak."
"Elder Bai, ten minutes after you leave, no matter what happens, do not drive forward. Instead, stop where you are and wait for a few seconds. This will save your life." Li Yang reminded him seriously.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Bai Jingchang asked doubtfully.
"You'll know when the time comes. Remember to listen to me, or the consequences will be irreversible." Li Yang reminded him gravely again.
Li Yang believed that by saying this, Bai Jingchang would at least be surprised and would likely try it out by stopping and waiting after ten minutes.
Bai Jingchang pondered for a moment, clearly not believing Li Yang's words, and instead felt that Li Yang was a bit eccentric.
However, even so, he did not change his expression towards Li Yang, but instead gave a perfunctory smile and said, "Okay, thank you, young man, for the reminder. I understand."
After speaking, he turned and left the scene.
After Li Yang watched him leave, he silently prayed for him, hoping he would escape disaster.
Then, Li Yang put back the three appraised antiques and found the manager on the spot, asking, "Hello, Manager. I'd like to ask, if I want to buy a batch of antiques, who can make the decision in your store?"
"How many do you want, sir?" the manager asked casually.
He was not surprised, as the store not only sold antiques retail but also wholesale.
Many antique shops in the provincial capital bought goods here wholesale and then sold them.
"Five hundred pieces at a minimum. If there are many good items, I'll naturally want more." Li Yang continued.
"Five hundred pieces? Sir, are you opening a new antique shop?"
The manager was incredibly surprised by this quantity, as even wholesale dealers didn't need such a large amount.
Li Yang nodded and smiled, "That's right, I am indeed opening a shop."
"Alright, sir, please follow me. I cannot make this decision. You can discuss it with our store manager."
Upon learning Li Yang's intention, the manager led Li Yang upstairs to find his store manager.
After a while, they arrived at the store manager's office. The manager pushed open the door and led Li Yang in to explain the reason.
They saw that their store manager was a very obese middle-aged man, who was appraising a piece of porcelain in his hand.
Upon hearing Li Yang's purpose, he slowly put down the porcelain, sized Li Yang up, and suddenly showed a very amiable smile. He stood up, took Li Yang's hand, and greeted him, "Welcome, sir. You've come to the right person if you want to wholesale antiques."
"We have no shortage of antiques in our store. Sir, you can tell me your requirements, and I'll have someone get the antiques for you."
"The goods I want are quite varied, and the requirements are quite high. Can you take me to your warehouse to see? I need to choose them myself," Li Yang said casually.
