83: After two thousand years of silence, the Nine Cauldrons appeared in the world.

“Beautiful, truly beautiful.”

“The zi zha nong bird zun and xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty are indeed the pinnacles of bronze ware.”

“Many brothers might not appreciate bronze ware, so I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

Ting Quan was so excited that his throat became dry, and he quickly took a sip of water to moisten it.

“Bronze ware is not only a material remnant of ancient civilization, but also carries rich historical and cultural information.”

“Their diverse shapes and exquisite patterns showcase the superb craftsmanship and aesthetic taste of ancient artisans.”

“Moreover, the material, manufacturing process, and usage marks of bronze ware can provide valuable data for modern scientific research.”

“Due to the scarcity, historical value, and artistic value of bronze ware, they have high collection value and investment potential in the market.”

“So, this is also why many criminals take risks.”

“After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

“Although Ting Quan has many flaws, his knowledge is indeed profound.”

“Isn’t that obvious? He’s a top student from Tsinghua University; if he didn’t have some skills, he wouldn’t be where he is today.”

“Isn’t it just Tsinghua University? I almost got in too.”

“Don’t brag, commenter upstairs. How far off were you?”

“Just 300 points, not even half the difference.”

“I knew it.”

“You know nothing! Hurry up and send President Qian some gifts!”

“ (47) Never Forget the Original Intention sent to connected viewer - Im Really Rich a Diamond Cruise Ship * 1 (7200 Douyin Coins)”

...

Li Youqian quietly listened to Ting Quan’s explanation; although he wasn’t very interested in these items, he maintained sufficient respect.

“I’m sorry, big brother, I got a bit carried away and talked too much.”

Being able to personally witness the return of the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty and the zi zha nong bird zun, Ting Quan felt greatly honored.

“Don’t get too excited yet, because the item for the fourth trial might be even more extraordinary.”

The nine cauldrons given by the system were definitely real, but historically, archaeologists were divided into two factions regarding their existence, and there had been no unified conclusion.

One faction claimed that the nine cauldrons were a fictional myth, created to inspire future generations.

The other faction, however, asserted that the nine cauldrons truly existed, as they were recorded in historical texts.

Due to the lack of concrete evidence proving the existence of the nine cauldrons, the two factions had been in constant dispute.

Moreover, the definition of the nine cauldrons' value was also very vague; some said they were more important than the lost transmitting seal of the realm, while others claimed they were less significant than the transmitting seal of the realm.

In short, it was a hundred schools of thought contending, with various opinions.

Because this item was too mysterious, Li Youqian wasn't sure if Ting Quan would recognize it.

“What is it, big brother?”

Even with the xiaochen yu's rhinoceros zun of the shang dynasty and the zi zha nong bird zun already revealed, Ting Quan couldn’t imagine anything more precious than these two.

Even if the twelve zodiac heads were combined, they couldn't compare to these two!

(National treasures are priceless and cannot be measured by value; this is merely an exaggeration.)

“Hmm… how to put it, their existence has never been confirmed.”

“Even when I saw them, I found it unbelievable.”

After listening, Ting Quan’s face once again wore a pained expression.

Although the previous items were quite incredible, there were still historical documents to reference.

Now, a legendary item has appeared; how can he verify this?

“Big brother, stop keeping me in suspense! What is it?!”

Watching Ting Quan frantically scratch his head, Li Youqian just wouldn't say, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

“Don’t worry, you’ll see it soon.”

Li Youqian walked out of the room with his phone and headed towards the backyard.

Nuo Yi and the others were currently guarding the nine cauldrons, and upon seeing Li Youqian arrive, they quickly bowed and greeted him:

“Boss, you’re here.”

“Alright, turn on the lights in the backyard.”

As the lights came on, the nine cauldrons officially entered the eyes of the world.

“It’s actually bronze cauldrons! And they’re so big!”

Although many bronze cauldrons had been unearthed in China before, compared to the ones in front of them, they were utterly insignificant.

“Big brother, where did you get these??”

“These things can’t be touched casually!!”

Bronze cauldrons, each one is a deadly treasure, and there are nine of them!

Wait, nine!!

Recalling what Li Youqian had said earlier, that it might be a legendary item, a thunderbolt struck Ting Quan’s heart.

“These… these wouldn’t… wouldn’t be the nine cauldrons, would they?!!”

Ting Quan’s voice trembled with excitement.

“Holy cow, the nine cauldrons!!”

“These are our Huaxia’s national treasures!!”

“Don’t the nine cauldrons not exist??”

“This is a joke, right?”

The appearance of the nine cauldrons instantly detonated a nuclear bomb on the internet; not only did it trend on Douyin, but it also replaced the top trending topic on Weibo.

It even alarmed leaders at the national level.

“Yes, it should be the legendary nine cauldrons.”

“Whether it’s the patina or the patterns, they all fit the description of the legendary nine cauldrons.”

“And I also sent them for X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, and they are indeed products of the Xia Dynasty.”

“I also have the inspection report, do you want to see it?”

The inspection report came with the nine cauldrons; he didn’t know where the system got it.

“Really, big brother? Can I take a look?”

If the nine cauldrons truly appeared in his live stream, then he would be the undisputed NO.1 in the live streaming treasure appraisal world from now on!

“Of course, no problem; I was going to let you see it anyway.”

Even if you didn’t want to see it, I’d make you, otherwise how would I harvest emotional value?

“Nuo Yi, go get the detection report.”

“Yes, boss.”

The detection report was actually in Nuo Yi’s storage device, but she still pretended to go into the room to get it.

For no other reason than fear of alarming those above.

“Boss, I’ve got it.”

After about a minute, Nuo Yi, who had gone to “get” the detection report, returned.

During that minute, the number of viewers in Ting Quan’s live stream had already exceeded twenty million and was still continuously rising.

Douyin’s programming department was like facing a formidable enemy; everyone on vacation was called back, and everyone was desperately maintaining the servers, fearing that the screen would go black the next second.

Tonight, whether it was the carnival battle, celebrity live streams, or streamer birthday parties, they all became mere backdrops for the nine cauldrons.

When Li Youqian displayed the detection report in front of the camera, the originally lively barrage instantly fell silent.

It was as if the tens of millions of viewers in the live stream didn't exist.

After a long while, with a loud shout from Ting Quan, the barrage in the live stream surged out like a volcanic eruption.

“Silent for two millennia, the nine cauldrons appear in the world!”

“Tonight, I stake my career; I dare to say that this is the real nine cauldrons!”

“No matter who comes, my answer will remain the same!”
