Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1355: The Treasure Makes Its Debut

Huo Sining stood on stage, accepting the first wooden box handed over by Gu Xu. She placed it on the exhibition table and slowly opened it, carefully taking out the contents and looking towards the people below the stage.

With a smile on her face, Huo Sining began to speak: ”This first item of mine is related to a famous ancient poem.”

”I believe many people have heard of this poem.”

Huo Sining paused, looked at the audience below, and slowly said: ”Grape wine glows in the luminous cup, wanting to drink, urgently urged by the sound of the pipa. Lying drunk in the battlefield, do not laugh, how many have returned from the ancient wars?”

”This timeless Tang Dynasty verse, I believe many who understand the history of our Huaxia Country’s Tang Dynasty know it. The first treasure I brought is precisely the Tang Dynasty Night-Luminous Cup mentioned in this poem.”

Unhurriedly, Huo Sining pulled aside the velvet cloth to reveal a pair of jade-green glistening cups.

The cameras began to focus on these cups, capturing all sides clearly on the large screen.

The cups are indeed preserved very well, the white jade texture appearing exceptionally lovely.

However, the experts below weren’t particularly impressed by this pair of jade cups. With the precedent of the Guiguzi Descends the Mountain Yuan Blue and White Porcelain, the Gold Thread Jade Clothing, and the Han Wunu Gold Seal, these jade cups seemed less remarkable. Although they could be considered thousand-year-old items, there was actually not much notably special about them.

After the Night-Luminous Cup was brought out, the entire venue fell silent without causing much of a sensation, prompting Huo Sining to smile and ask the host:

”Would it be possible to turn off the stage lights?”

The host was momentarily stunned, had not yet spoken when Li Jun over there had already directly issued the order to the control room, and the lighting technician turned off the lights in the entire venue.

Those below the stage did not react immediately; darkness had already enveloped them.

Just as people were about to question, someone suddenly exclaimed: ”Look quickly at the cups on the stage!”

Everyone looked towards the stage, only to see that in the pitch-black center of the venue, on the exhibition table, one pair of jade cups was gradually lighting up in the darkness.

Within the luminous white glow, the contours of the jade cups seemed to be draped in a veil, mysterious and alluring.

In such an eerie spectacle, everyone was entranced.

This pair of Night-Luminous Cups was precisely bought back by Huo Sining for eight million from Zhao Yuliang.

In truth, when Huo Sining initially purchased this pair of jade cups, she assumed they were just simple Tang Dynasty jade cups and did not pay them much attention.

Until not long ago, when Huo Sining took out all the antiques from her storage ring in the basement for inventory, selecting representative Huaxia antique crafts to present on the international treasure appraisal conference stage, it just so happened that the power went out one night, plunging the basement into darkness. Then, this pair of jade cups finally revealed their real brilliance and wonders before her eyes.

The cups could autonomously glow in the nighttime, akin to the luminous pearls described in ancient books.

”This is a cold light source!”

Seeing such a spectacle, experts researching cold light sources instantly turned serious.

The so-called cold light source is an object that contains a luminous body, able to emit light without needing other energy sources.

In Huaxia historical records, many places mention luminous pearls, those naturally glowing objects. Yet, modern researchers and collectors have never really seen a pearl that can truly glow in the dark.

But now, seeing the pair of Night-Luminous Cups brought out by Huo Sining that can naturally emit light in the night, someone immediately recognized that these cups are the legendary cold light source.

The appearance of this pair of cups crushed some experts’ claims about the nonexistence of luminous pearls, rendering the ancient history of Huaxia even more elusive and mysterious.

However, it is precisely due to the enigmatic nature of this cold light source element that countless foreign archaeological experts have been driven to madness.

Merely a pair of cups managed to push the entire venue into yet another climax.

”Director, the viewership ratings have doubled again!”

At CBS TV Station, the staff excitedly reported the current data.

Originally, they thought the ratings would decline after the Gold Seal, but this Oriental woman named Huo Sining always performed miracles beyond their expectations.

When the pair of Night-Luminous Cups on stage began to emit a faint glow, CBS’s ratings surged again, with data rapidly increasing significantly!

Huaxia is indeed a great place, a mysterious country, a nation with an enigmatic civilization, a mysterious woman, and mysterious treasures!

This staff member now regarded Huo Sining as a goddess, believing that this treasure appraisal conference would be more exciting than any previous ones because of her!

The staff member had already begun to imagine, that after this week, he could take the generous bonus and go on vacation.

Next, Huo Sining brought out two more items: a pair of enamel color porcelain and a Seven-Star Longyuan Ancient Sword.

These two items, one belonging to porcelain, the other to bronze, were both obtained by Huo Sining through serendipity.

The enamel color was colorful and captivating, while the Longquan Sword was glistening cold with a fierce edge. Both items were significant, just seeing one alone being very rare.

Seeing these two items, the audience was in an uproar, and several veteran experts from the Huaxia delegation stood up directly from their seats. Many Huaxia relic enthusiasts and Huaxia appraisers also showed expressions of astonishment upon seeing what Huo Sining had brought out.

Huo Sining smiled as she explained the origins of these two items, then slowly recounted the interesting stories of how she came across the enamel color and Longquan Sword.

When talking about how the Longquan Sword accidentally fell into high-concentration acetic acid, dissolving the copper rust and revealing the true face of the ancient sword, everyone below couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

”For those who play with antiques, the greatest sense of achievement lies in serendipity itself. Especially for professional collectors, each item holds not only its intrinsic value but also the charming stories attached to them.”

Huo Sining smiled and raised the precious sword in her hand, performing a beautiful flourish, exhibiting bravery and grace under the sword’s aura, reminiscent of the warrior Yu Xiulian holding the Qingming Sword in the film ’Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’, flowing smoothly, exuding heroism and unparalleled elegance.

”You look amazing! Ningning is stunning!”

Su Qingqing below couldn’t help but whistle at Huo Sining on stage.

Huo Sining smiled back at Su Qingqing, and continued:

”The special nature of Huaxia’s ten years ****, has resulted in a chaotic Huaxia antique market. The reason why I brought these two items for exhibition is not for boasting, but to narrate this period of Huaxia’s difficult history.”

”Due to the chaotic times back then, collectors had no choice but to use their intelligence to hide these antiques. So, the treasures I found are actually products of history, products of the era.”

Huo Sining’s words resonated with many collectors who either experienced or understood this period of history, thus, after she finished telling the story, many in the venue couldn’t help but stand up, spontaneously applauding.
