Chapter 7: The Art Style Is Going Off Track
After leaving the jade store, Lu Zheng continued wandering around the Treasure House, checking out a couple more shops.
This time, Lu Zheng had learned his lesson and always asked them to place a velvet cloth and wear gloves.
His behavior amused the shop owners, but they complied with all of Lu Zheng’s requests.
Because both shops charged him an appraisal fee.
One was five hundred, and the other was eight hundred!
And it wasn’t even a professional appraisal, just a casual look and a preliminary judgment.
The result was that the first shop declared Lu Zheng’s Chicken Blood Stone to be fake, while the other told him it was a dyed Jadeite.
It wasn’t until the third shop that Lu Zheng got an estimated value of three million for his Phoenix Blood Stone seal.
Finally, Lu Zheng arrived at a large jade store on the other side of the block, Sea Treasure Pavilion.
"It’s a nice piece, but what a pity. While the flaw doesn’t immediately mar its beauty, its value has significantly dropped."
