Jade Cream was a scar-removing Spiritual Medicine that Shen Qiang refined using Mo Yunzhi. To explain this, it's both simple and complex, but if we set aside the concept of Cultivation, it can be summarized in one sentence.

"It's a kind of rare medicine," Shen Qiang briefly explained.

Sun Kaiping nodded, "No wonder it's so valuable."

Boss Ma laughed and said, "Qiang is really impressive, being able to do business with medicines. It's just a pity that in this field, the two old guys like us are really laymen, and with our age, I'm afraid it's too late to learn."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Nobody knows and can do everything. Being at the top of an industry is far better than someone like me who dabbles in everything, yet is only average in all."

The two men laughed.

Soon after, Shen Qiang received a text message notification that the funds had been transferred. Then, Sun Kaiping called the store's representative lawyer, and after confirming all the agreed-upon terms, he paid a total of one hundred seventy million.

Before the deal was finalized, Wan Xin He Sheng's beautiful manager, Xu Nan, arrived with a young man in a perfectly pressed shirt and Wan Xin He Sheng's Appraiser.

However, because Shen Qiang was busy with the transaction at that time, he had to ask them to wait a bit.

After the transaction was finished,

The representative lawyer took a copy of Shen Qiang's ID card and the copy of the sales contract, left the store, and went to the antique market management office to handle the renaming of the store owner, the utilities, and the transfer of property rights.

It was then that Shen Qiang finally made time to entertain Xu Nan.

He asked the retained sales assistant to pour some tea, and with a flick of his wrist, Shen Qiang placed twenty bottles of Jade Cream in front of Xu Nan, smiling, "I owe you a big thanks for your help."

Xu Nan smiled slightly, casually collected the Jade Cream, and said, "No need to thank me. After all, the wool comes from the sheep, and even without charging interest, Wan Xin He Sheng will make a pretty profit from your transaction."

Shen Qiang smiled, "In business, we talk business. I'll pay the interest, as usual. You handle the sales of the items, and after they're sold, deduct what I owe."

"No problem," Xu Nan smiled. "But, if we really include interest, it seems there won't be much left after auctioning off the Jade Cream and Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointment you've placed with us. So, I was thinking, perhaps there might be some treasures in this Treasure House you've just purchased."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Manager Xu indeed has great insight. It's perfect that you're here; you can help me estimate whether this deal ended up with a loss."

At these words, Boss Ma and Sun Kaiping immediately perked up.

"With so many people around earlier, we didn't dare to ask what exactly you found on that shelf."

"Yes, do tell us. Knowing you, I'm certain you wouldn't have decided to buy this place so quickly without some really good items."

Looking at their expectant faces, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Follow me."

With that, Shen Qiang walked towards the shelves in question.

It must be said, the original owner of the Treasure House was quite adept at selling fakes.

Counterfeits that make it into Treasure House are usually masterfully forged, possessing exceptional craftsmanship and material quality. Without extraordinary "eye power," identifying the fakes is definitely not an easy task.

Meanwhile, the shelves of Treasure House also boast quite a few genuine items.

After all, selling counterfeits is like lying; without a hint of truth, no one would believe a lie, let alone spend money to buy it?

So even though this particular Treasure House is notorious for peddling fake merchandise, amongst the over two hundred antiques on display, there are still about a dozen genuine articles.

Shen Qiang took these authentic items down from the shelves and handed them to the two people beside him, before sending them to the appraisal table at the center of the second floor.

In no time, the dozen real pieces were ready.

When Shen Qiang returned to the table, the appraiser from Wan New He Sheng, who had accompanied Xu Nan, was already excitedly saying, "Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Vase, confirmed as authentic. Based on its condition, this piece has a market price of at least seven million."

Both Sun Kaiping and Boss Ma's eyes immediately lit up.

Taking the porcelain vase from the hands of the Wan New He Sheng appraiser, Sun Kaiping took a quick look and excitedly said, "The first piece is worth seven million. If all these dozen pieces are genuine, we might make a fortune this time!"

Ma, the boss, couldn't stop grinning, patting Shen Qiang on the shoulder, and laughed, "Ahahaha, I knew it, when Qiangzi gives the nod, it's never off."

Shen Qiang smiled, but his heart was once again vexed with his appraisal ability of antiques.

After all, the estimated price he had given for this vase was around five million, between four to six million.

This estimate was obviously below market price. If the maximum bid according to Shen Qiang was six million, then buying it for under five million was almost certain in order to make a profit. If one seeks profit, the highest offer would not exceed four and a half million, which would cause the seller to walk away due to the huge discrepancy.

Therefore, solely from the appraisal aspect, even with his exceptional "eye power," Shen Qiang's appraisal skills were still inadequately honed.

"Ho ho ho, in reverence of the Heavenly Venerable and the Taoist ancestors, come take a look at this pure gold artifact, hahaha, a genuine piece! Judging from the style and calligraphy, it should date back to the Warring States period," announced the appraiser from Wan New He Sheng, successfully attracting Sun Kaiping's attention.

He was taken aback, then ecstatically exclaimed, "Really? A treasure, what a treasure!"

Almost at the same time, Boss Ma, who stood to the side and was examining a bronze piece through a small magnifying glass, joyfully said, "Come look at this Early Ming Carved Heart Mirror. It's so exquisite; it's simply breathtaking!"

"What a fine item," Sun Kaiping said, eyes brimming with excitement.

It was at this moment, while holding a pale blue porcelain jar, Xu Nan suddenly gasped and said, "Master Song, would you take a look at this Powder Blue Glazed Dragon Pattern Jar? I have a feeling it might actually be authentic."

Master Song glanced at it and laughed, "A Powder Blue Glazed Dragon Pattern Jar like this one couldn't possibly be genuine. If it were authentic, this one jar would be worth over a hundred million on the market."

Sun Kaiping didn't take it to heart either, offhandedly saying, "All the powder blue glazed items with raised decorations on our antiques street are fake. If it were such a precious treasure, it wouldn't be displayed so casually on the shelf."

Boss Ma also laughed heartily, slapping Shen Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you must have been mistaken this time. After so many years in the antique market, I've only come across a genuine powder blue glazed piece once; the rest have all been forgeries."

Hearing Boss Ma's words, Shen Qiang lifted an eyebrow with a smile and calmly said, "Then you should hurry over and take a look. When it comes to other matters, I indeed need to learn more from both of you elder brothers, but in the matter of appraisal, if Shen Qiang says it's real, it's absolutely not fake!"
