Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone saw the wooden carved bull split in half, and then with a casual shake, the two pebbles set in the bull's eyes gently fell out.

Jiang Feng calmly held the pebbles in his hand.

These two pebbles were about the size of goose eggs, with a yellow sand deposit on the surface.

"You mean to say, there's something wrong with these two stones, which are the eyes of the wooden bull?"

The auctioneer, Chen Fen, having never seen such a scene before, asked Jiang Feng in puzzlement.

"What do you think?" Jiang Feng smiled and tossed the two pebbles to Chen Fen.

Chen Fen hurried to catch them, then carefully weighed them a few times, squinting at them seriously for half a minute, before frowning and saying, "There's nothing wrong, they're just ordinary pebbles..."

Unable to see any mystery, Chen Fen had to return the pebbles to Jiang Feng.

"Ha ha ha! Did you all see that? This guy is just putting on airs and being pretentious! I almost got fooled by him, so don't fall for it, everyone!"

Pan Sheng, shocked but relieved, started clamoring again, laughing loudly, "He got conned, holding two worthless stones trying to regain his dignity, such poor acting, it's really laughable!"

The audience, too, came to their senses with Pan Sheng's words, and immediately began to jeer, believing Jiang Feng to be pretending, and making a fool of himself.

In the face of the crowd's ridicule, Jiang Feng remained unfazed, merely smiling as he picked up the pebbles, calmly saying, "Look closely, the lighter half of the pebbles is exposed as the bull's eye, but the darker half is hidden inside the wooden bull..."

Suddenly!

He exerted force with his hand again!

The sand on the surface of the back half of the pebbles began to fall away!

Jiang Feng's grip was strong, with a squeeze, the sand on the back half of the pebbles came off quickly.

Finally!

Their true form was revealed!

Inside, there were two round pearls!

Each was about the size of a dragon eye, emitting a hazy glow.

The sound of ridicule in the entire venue abruptly stopped, as everyone was suddenly plunged into extreme shock!

"Turn off the lights." Jiang Feng faintly smiled, glancing at the distant staff.

The staff nodded dumbfoundedly and quickly turned off the lights.

After that, the whole banquet hall was plunged into darkness.

But—

Within just a few seconds, the two pearls in Jiang Feng's hand suddenly emitted a bright light like the moon!

This light was like the soft moonlight spreading out, illuminating the entire banquet hall!

It was as if two full moons had landed in Jiang Feng's hands!

Beautiful! Truly too beautiful!

Dazzling, utterly mesmerizing!

Everyone was breathless!

This light was definitely not the artificially created flamboyance of electric lights, but had more of a natural softness and magnificence!

Its glow seemed to drift from the deep end of the world, carrying a refreshing coolness that rippled through the banquet hall.

"Alright, the lights can come back on." Jiang Feng smiled again.

The lights turned on.

Once the lights came on, the pearls in Jiang Feng's hand were not as bright, as if they suddenly calmed down again, extraordinarily peculiar!

"Young... young man, what exactly are these things, why are they so bizarre?"

The president of the Binhai Antique Identification Association, sitting in the front row, unbelievably asked Jiang Feng.

"Luminous Pearls! Heard of them?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"Lu... minous Pearls?!!"

Pan Sheng, upon hearing this, opened his mouth wide!

He was tongue-tied, unable to utter another word!

His forehead and face were awash in cold sweat!

"Luminous Pearls?! Oh God, these things actually exist? The light just now was so pure, so beautiful, so gentle, just like the elegant dance of a maiden..."

The auctioneer Chen Fen, having been closest to Jiang Feng, was still in a state of infatuated amazement.

"Luminous Pearls do exist. They are simply a rare kind of gemstone. The ancients also called them 'Sui Pearls', 'Suspended Pearls', 'Chui Jing', 'Bright Moon Pearls'."

Jiang Feng calmly explained, "With today's technology, Luminous Pearls are basically diamonds that can absorb light and emit it themselves! Of course, among all types of diamonds, they are the most precious, bar none!"

"Holy crap! So they're Luminous Pearls!!!"

Huang Dafu knew all along Jiang Feng wouldn't make an empty show; now it's finally confirmed!

He truly spotted them, uncovering the two Luminous Pearls hidden in the bull's eyes!

"Young man, you're incredible, truly incredible! Boss Huang, I've learned something new again!"

Boss Huang said excitedly, "These two things are the invaluable treasures of tonight's auction! I've seen news of a similar Luminous Pearl in the British Museum, one that was from China, valued back then at 200 million Chinese Yuan!"

"But... the quality is definitely not as good as this pair in your hands! You've hit the jackpot! You've hit the huge jackpot! God, 500 thousand... a mere 500 thousand... for two Luminous Pearls! Young man, your insight is truly extraordinary! Extraordinary indeed!!!"

At this moment, Huang Dafu addressed Jiang Feng with the utmost respect, shifting from "you" to "you" with reverence!

The entire venue was even more uproarious!

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Jiang Feng anymore. It turns out he was the grand finale tonight, the connoisseur with the true discerning eye!

Although, like Boss Huang, everyone present had only heard rumors and had never seen a real Luminous Pearl.

But that didn't stop them from assessing the Luminous Pearls in Jiang Feng's possession!

"A man of exceptional abilities! No wonder this young man has graced the auction scene, he's a real genius with unassuming prowess!"

"The master is among the people! Can he really find such a hidden treasure? I've truly gained knowledge!"

"Incredible, bought for 500 thousand… just now, Young Master Pan even gave up bidding..."

"This pair of Luminous Pearls is no less than national treasure level!"

"Before, I'd only read descriptions of Luminous Pearls in novels, now, I've finally seen the real thing, it was worth the trip!"

"Actually, there's no need for anyone to envy, this opportunity was fair to all, it's just that we didn't seize it, or rather we were too blind to notice the treasure, can't blame anyone! And this young man always stayed calm and composed, even discovering the Luminous Pearls wrapped inside pebbles, such vision can be said to be one of a kind!"

"Indeed remarkable, at least in Binhai's antique circle, he's already top-tier talent. Ah... it's our loss to have misunderstood him, with such an unassuming demeanor, teaching us not to judge by appearance..."
