73: Eight pieces of the Imperial Seal of the State have been discovered, leaving experts completely baffled! They all look incredibly realistic.

When Xu Lu said this, everyone present was dumbfounded, and the scene fell silent... The imperial seal had the character 'Lu' carved on it using micro-carving technology!

This person in front of them was named Xu Lu!

And this guy named Xu Lu said that this imperial seal was a fake he personally made!

Everyone present felt their brain cells burning wildly, just trying to understand the whole story.

They had gone to great lengths, even traveling thousands of miles to get here, only to learn that this imperial seal was a fake. One can imagine how terrible their mood was at this moment.

But... why did this fake look so real?

It even fooled the eyes of all the Antiques Experts present, and if you ignored the character 'Lu', it could now be said to be no different from the genuine article!

Finally, someone thought of this question and immediately asked Xu Lu:

"That... Mr. Xu, as far as I know, you are not an Antiques Expert, so how could you..."

Before the person could finish speaking, Xu Lu coughed and interrupted:

"Excuse me, your information must be wrong. Who told you I don't understand antiques? Who told you I'm an amateur?

Just a few days ago, I successfully found two overlooked treasures. One was a vase I bought for 40,000 yuan and sold for over 4 million.

The second, I believe some of you know, was the chenghua chicken cup I bought for 30,000 yuan, which was bought by a Hong Kong Island businessman for 300 million."

This... the Experts present were once again dumbfounded. It turned out that the amateur they thought he was, was actually a thorough professional.

And judging by his 'achievements', it was clear that this professional was of a very high caliber, not just an ordinary antique dealer.

"Mr. Xu, I still cannot accept that this imperial seal of china is a fake!"

At this moment, an Expert suddenly spoke, saying:

"I'm more willing to believe that after you obtained this imperial seal of china, you privately carved words on it. As for why you would do this, perhaps it was to confuse people, or perhaps it was so that after turning the imperial seal of china into a fake, you wouldn't have to donate it..."

Hearing this, another Old Expert spoke in a deep voice, saying:

"Ahem, Mr. Xu, I have a question. Even if this imperial seal is a fake, are you still willing to donate it?"

More Experts began to discuss, saying:

"Yes, this imperial seal looks too real. Perhaps the character 'Lu' is just a coincidence?"

"Even if it's fake, our Magic City Museum is willing to collect it. This is itself a highly skilled work of art."

"My Imperial Capital Museum is also willing to collect it..."

"Hehe, I think this imperial seal is real. Mr. Xu, you're not reluctant to donate it, so you're putting on this act, are you?"

...Listening to the noisy discussions, Xu Lu was a bit speechless.

Although he had guessed that this kind of outcome might occur, he never expected the reality to be even more outrageous than he imagined!

He had already said that this imperial seal was made by him, and it even had his mark on it.

He didn't expect these Experts to only trust their own eyes, never considering that they might make a mistake due to lack of ability.

Some dark-hearted individuals even thought that Xu Lu was reluctant to donate it, so he 'faked' the genuine imperial seal of china.

"Quiet down, quiet down!"

Seeing the scene starting to get out of control, Xu Lu finally shouted loudly and continued:

"Everyone, since you all believe that this imperial seal is the true imperial seal of china, then I have a question for you."

"Mr. Xu, ask away!"

Someone immediately nodded.

The others also looked over curiously, wondering what else Xu Lu had to say at this moment.

But Xu Lu, as if he had a card up his sleeve, said:

"Everyone present is a top-tier cultural relic Expert and Antiques Expert. So, in your understanding, how many imperial seals of china are there?"

As soon as Xu Lu finished speaking, a middle-aged Expert immediately answered:

"Does this even need to be said? Just one! It's clearly recorded in historical materials!"

"That's right! How could there be a second such world-shocking treasure? Having one is already a great blessing!"

"Mr. Xu, since you said you are a professional, why are you suddenly asking such an amateur question?"

"Mr. Xu, don't change the subject. Let's continue discussing the authenticity of this imperial seal of china. We must clarify it today."

...Xu Lu didn't care about the commotion among the crowd and continued:

"Very good, everyone seems to agree that there is only one genuine imperial seal of china. So, if I have a second so-called imperial seal of china, what do you think?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! This..."

Hearing this, an Old Expert immediately shrieked in disagreement.

But before the Old Expert could finish speaking, his subsequent words all got stuck in his throat.

They saw Xu Lu take out another imperial seal, four inches square with a five-dragon knob, from the box that contained the 'imperial seal of china'.

It looked... exactly like the one he had in his hand.

This sudden turn of events stunned all the Experts present.

What... what was going on?

How did a second imperial seal of china appear?

However, that wasn't all.

As Xu Lu placed the second 'imperial seal of china' aside, he quickly took out a third, fourth, and fifth one from the bottom compartment of the box... Watching Xu Lu continuously pull them out, the Experts' expressions went from shock, to confusion, to bewilderment, and then to terror.

Xu Lu continued to take them out until he had removed all eight 'imperial seals of china' from the box, then he made a gesture and said:

"Alright, these are all handicrafts I made. Everyone can come over to appraise them and see if there's any difference from what you saw just now."

In fact, he didn't even need to say it; the Experts present had already rushed over like madmen.

Because the 'imperial seal of china' had changed from one to eight, this time there was much more room.

Gradually, gradually... the Experts' expressions were on the verge of collapsing!

Real, real, they all looked real!

If there had only been one 'real' imperial seal of china at the scene, everyone might not have been so distraught.

But there were eight of them! And they were eight identical ones, even the character 'Lu' was the same!

Now even a fool would know that there must be a problem here. How could there be eight imperial seals of china?

Many Experts murmured blankly to themselves:

"What's going on? How... why do they all look genuine? I'm going crazy!"

"So this really isn't the imperial seal of china, it really is a fake, and my appraisal skills are really that bad!"

"I can't see any flaws, absolutely no flaws! But since there are eight, they must be fake..."

"My heavens, this counterfeiting technique is too incredible, this craftsmanship is too superb, this is absolutely maddening!"

...In this chaotic atmosphere, time passed little by little, and who would have thought that a police siren would suddenly sound downstairs?

A few minutes later, a police officer led a team and broke through the door, looking at the room full of people and asking in a deep voice:

"Who called the police?"
