Pale-faced, Master Meng suppressed his anger and fiddled twice with a blue and white plate, then picked out a bead that was moist and white in color but seemed like jade yet not jade, clearly not agate, and adjusted his magnifying glass to look at it.

At that moment, someone snickered from the side, "This foolish kid, even calling Old Meng to look at this trash, it's too rubbish even for a bracelet."

"Hahaha, rookies are always like this, always treating junk as treasures."

Just as they snickered, Master Meng, who was examining the bead, suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone was taken aback.

Almost at the same time, Master Meng, who was sitting, suddenly stood up, knocking over his tea cup.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he said excitedly, "Young man, young man, come look, come quickly!"

Master Tong, who was sitting beside him, took over Master Meng's magnifying glass with a look of astonishment.

He then looked at the bead in Master Meng's hand.

After just one glance, he too suddenly stood up.

The onlookers were astonished.

Mr. Ma, standing on the side, with bright eyes, asked urgently, "Master Meng? Old Tong? What's going on?"

Unexpectedly, neither Master Tong nor Master Meng responded to him.

This situation not only surprised the other people present.

A feeling of unease and curiosity also surged in Sun Kaiping, who had always been confident of winning.

Silence.

Xu Nan, the area manager of the Auction House, watched Master Tong without blinking, her eyes filled not only with curiosity but also with anticipation.

After a long while, Master Tong, who had been holding his breath, put down the magnifying glass, exhaled deeply, and said to Master Meng, "It's confirmed."

Master Meng's eyes immediately brightened, "Really?"

Master Tong nodded, "Really."

Hearing this, Master Meng, his face blossoming into a smile, laughed heartily and then sat down, unconcerned about his blue and white plate anymore, looked at Shen Qiang with excited eyes, and praised him.

"Indeed, a young hero emerges victorious. In this contest of Eye Power between Sun Kaiping and Shen Qiang, I declare Shen Qiang the winner."

Upon hearing this, the crowd present exploded in an uproar.

"What's going on, how could Shen Qiang win, what a joke!"

"Has the old man gone mad, even if it's a jade bead, it can't beat that big incense burner!"

"Exactly, Old Sun bought that two-hundred-value incense burner for less than ten thousand, how could he lose?"

Sensing the messy crowd, Master Meng frowned and said, "Silence!"

The crowd quieted down.

At this moment, Sun Kaiping, still holding a check, seemed to have guessed something; his face turned somewhat pale as he said somberly, "Old master, when you say he won, could it be that the bead is a Spirit Bone?"

Master Meng smiled, "Exactly!"

Instantly, everyone present widened their eyes and gasped.

"Spirit Bone Relics!"

"It's actually Spirit Bone Relics!"

"The treasure of Buddhism, Relic! This... this..."

As everyone was in shock, Shen Qiang sat comfortably on the chair next to the table, looked at the pale-faced Sun Kaiping, and laughed, "Thanks for yielding, I win this round. Also, as I said, if you need help identifying something uncertain in the future, you can come to me for guidance."

Master Meng was stunned.

Almost at the same moment, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Of course, it's not free, and moreover, only in the evening, not more than three items at a time."

Upon hearing this.

Old Master Meng burst into laughter and said, "Young man, when it comes to 'eye power' in the antique market here, there are no more than five people who would confidently claim to have better eye power than Sun Kaiping. You giving him guidance is practically a joke."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I picked up Nalan Xingde's thumb ring from him, and I won today's competition again. If you say my eye power isn't as good as his, would anyone believe that?"

Old Master Meng was taken aback by these words.

The atmosphere in the hall had become serious.

In fact, earlier, when they saw Shen Qiang packing up the agate beads all at once, almost everyone had categorized Shen Qiang as a fool.

But now, with Old Master Meng and Master Tong having confirmed that those agate beads actually contained Spirit Bone Relics, it proved that Shen Qiang wasn't foolish but truly had 'fiery golden eyes.'

This was far more impressive than an ordinary person.

The atmosphere in the Eight Treasures Pavilion hall was tense.

Everyone's gaze began to show some hesitation.

Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh, "You might think I'm too young and don't quite understand the market, which makes you skeptical about my ability. So, now I can in front of everyone offer to appraise something for free."

"Anything is fine, we're not discussing origins, only age. Those interested, why not give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present immediately lit up, and a nearby antique dealer immediately took out an item from his pocket and passed it to Shen Qiang, saying, "Take a look at this."

Shen Qiang smiled.

At that moment, Old Master Meng said solemnly, "This is Eight Treasures Pavilion, and since you think your eye power is good, then take a look."

The antique dealer who had passed the item stepped back somewhat embarrassed.

Then, Old Master Meng waved his hand, and immediately an attendant brought over a tray.

On the tray was a bronze sword marked with spots of rust.

Old Master Meng smiled, "Please look."

Shen Qiang only glanced at the bronze sword and casually smiled, "This sword dates back three thousand years."

"Are you sure?" Old Master Meng was dumbfounded.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Of course, you can consult various experts freely. If I'm wrong, I guarantee I'll never deal with antiques for the rest of my life."

Instantly, everyone's eyes were fixed on Old Master Meng.

After a long silence, Old Master Meng sighed and said, "Impressive youth. Going forward, if my colleagues have any doubts about any items, you might as well consult Shen Qiang."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately widened.

"Damn! Old Master Meng actually acknowledged him. Shen Qiang could determine the age with just a glance!"

"Amazing!"

"So terrifying! No wonder Sun Kaiping got outsmarted by him."

While everyone was amazed at Shen Qiang's unique ability.

Master Tong, who was carefully examining the beads in the porcelain dish, set down his magnifying glass and said solemnly, "In this dish, there are thirty-three beads in total, among which three are Spirit Bone Relics, and the remaining thirty are agate carved Shadow Relics."

"The market price should be between eight hundred million to one hundred twenty million. Devout believers' offers are not considered in this assessment."

Upon hearing this, everyone present exploded in uproar.

"My God, beads worth five dollars each, not even two hundred dollars in total, priced in the tens of millions. How is that even reasonable? I've never encountered such an opportunity in my life."

"Damn, that jade stall had been there for three days. I passed by it back and forth but never really looked closely."

"Sigh...it's all about destiny."

"Destiny my ass, it's all about the difference in 'eye power'."

Shen Qiang laughed, dumped the beads back into a plastic bag, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, you all continue chatting, I need to leave first, got work tomorrow."

Everyone was astonished.

At that moment, Xu Nan, the beautiful manager of Wan Xin He Sheng Auction House, hurriedly stopped Shen Qiang, her eyes shining as she said, "Mr. Shen, are you planning to auction these Relics? If you can entrust them to our auction house, I can offer you the highest discount on commission fees!"
