Chapter 498: Chapter 526: Effect of the Porcelain Cup (3rd update)
"Huh?"
The old man couldn’t help but let out a small grunt, as a sudden warm sensation from his abdomen quickly spread throughout his body. He instantly felt warm all over, like soaking in a hot spring in the middle of winter. The feeling was so comforting that it almost made his old face flush. Even the rheumatic pain in his knees and aches in some other places were significantly alleviated.
This was truly astounding!!!
And another thing was that this warm feeling didn’t fade away instantly; it lasted for about a minute.
"What’s going on?"
"Is this the difference of the porcelain cup?"
Because he drinks alcohol almost every day, although not the 85 Maotai, he does drink good wine every now and then.
However, he had never experienced this situation before. So, is it because of the porcelain cup?
To confirm whether this was the case, he poured the same amount of wine into another cup on the table, drank it, and waited for a while, but felt just the simple aroma and flavor of the wine, without that previous sensation!
Next, he planned to pour some more into the small porcelain cup. If drinking it produced that sensation again, it would be a hundred percent confirmation that the magic lay in the porcelain cup!
At this moment, the old man’s hands trembled slightly as he lifted the bottle to fill the small porcelain cup again.
He took a deep breath, thinking to himself that this must be true, it must be...
Everyone else around him, or rather everyone present, held their breath, eyes fixed intently on the porcelain cup in the old man’s hand, silently wondering what the old man’s test result would be.
Of course, excluding Lin Xi.
After a while, the porcelain cup had already been placed down by the old man.
He now had his eyes closed, his expression very serious, as if experiencing something.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes with an unconcealed look of joy on his face, his tone becoming somewhat heavy as he said "Good" three times in a row. Then he looked at Shangguan Hong and said, "Xiaohong, Elder Shi was right, this is indeed a great treasure!"
"Of course, I’m not one to talk nonsense!" Shangguan Hong’s little face was quite smug. "Isn’t that right, Grandpa!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man nodded repeatedly.
The others had varying expressions. Shangguan Xiong was certainly happy, while Shangguan Yin had a somewhat gloomy face. His painting, which had been prepared for so many years, was outdone in the end by a brat.
As for the third brother, Shangguan Hao, he smiled bitterly. It seemed the Shangguan family still considered him the least useful!
At Lin Xi’s table, Shangguan Yin’s two sons and two daughters looked even more displeased. Originally, even with the embarrassment before, if their father had won the old man’s greatest favor, then the embarrassment wouldn’t matter.
Only, the biggest tragedy was not only failing to win the greatest favor but being slapped hard in the face instead.
The old man placed the porcelain cup back into the wooden box, planning to study it thoroughly in his room after the birthday banquet!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Elder Shi, upon seeing such a treasure, would surely be envious and unwilling to let it go, so out of curiosity he asked, "Xiaohong, did Elder Shi want to buy this porcelain cup from you?"
"Yes, Grandpa." Shangguan Hong asked with some confusion, "Grandpa, how did you know?"
Seeing the reaction of his little grandson, the old man couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "As expected, with his personality of treating treasures as life, how could he pass up this opportunity!"
Shangguan Hong had a thoughtful look on his face, as if realizing something, and said, "No wonder he offered 2.5 billion to buy it? But I absolutely refused to sell it. He also said that if I ever reconsider, I can contact him anytime!"
"2.5 billion?" The old man couldn’t help but repeat.
Elder Shi really spared no expense, but this also showed the preciousness of this item!
The others couldn’t help but gasp. With such a high price, if they were holding the porcelain cup, could they resist the temptation?
"Then why didn’t you sell it?" The old man looked at his little grandson in confusion, given such a high price.
