Chapter 3 Restoration of Ancient Paintings
It is very difficult to pick up the leaks, especially in the antique market, there are so many people with vicious eyes, and Ren Fei is not given a chance to play at all.
Because of this, Ren Fei thought of a different way, just now the shopkeeper said that this ancient painting is indeed valuable, but it has become garbage because of its damage, if the damaged place of this ancient painting is repaired, the garbage will naturally turn back into a treasure.
The restoration of ancient paintings can be done by many experts, but it is impossible to ensure that there are no traces of the restoration.
If others can't do it, it doesn't mean that Ren Fei can't do it either, you know, the alchemy knowledge in his head is not something to watch and play.
The creation of alchemy is one of the more commonly used means of alchemists, and synthesis and decomposition are the basis of the foundation, everything can be decomposed, and everything can be synthesized, so in the process of decomposition and synthesis, the restoration of nature also occupies a considerable proportion.
With a broken ancient painting scroll in hand, all Ren Fei needed to do was to scrape together enough materials to carry out the next step of restoration work.
It's just that the materials for this repair are more difficult to get started.
Can you find a suitable replacement?
With this in mind, Ren Fei came to the wholesale material market with ancient paintings, hoping to find alternative materials.
Because the composition of the materials is not clear, there are many similar materials that Ren Fei can only buy all, and he can't buy more.
When he arrived at Zuihou, Ren Fei spent all the money in his wallet before he could be regarded as a worthy material to be made.
If it doesn't succeed this time, it will really be no money for food, and Ren Fei will also be regarded as a battle.
Ren Fei began to cultivate spiritual power until now, it has only been a day, and no magic power in his body has been formed, relying on magic power to decompose this kind of thing, there is no need to go at all.
In this case, it is still necessary to rely on some external forces.
Alcohol lamps, flasks, fortunately, Ren Fei's parents are scientists, and there are a lot of tools used in this kind of experiment at home, otherwise, Ren Fei really doesn't know how much money he has to spend.
Decompose...... No, it's useless.
Decompose...... Good! That's it!
For a whole day, Ren Fei was immersed in the shijie of alchemy, and he now has only one goal, to gather materials to repair ancient paintings, not only to earn Sister Qian's money, but also to solve his own food problem!
As time passed, Ren Fei sorted out more and more materials, and fortunately, Ren Fei successfully found all the materials used to restore ancient paintings.
It's just that several of these materials are substitutes, Ren Fei doesn't know how stable these substitutes are, if he prepares for the worst, this ancient painting will not only fail to be repaired, but will be completely damaged.
It's adventurous, but it's still a hard work!
Dismantle the magic circle! Initiate!
Ren Fei mixed various materials together and drew a circular magic array on the table, and as Ren Fei's spiritual power was mobilized, this magic array began to emit a faint blue light.
It worked!
Ren Fei was greatly surprised by the success of the dismantling magic array, it seems that his efforts were not in vain!
Ancient painting decomposition!
Taking advantage of the activation of the magic array, Ren Fei put the ancient painting into the magic array, and saw that the ancient painting automatically floated in mid-air, decomposing into countless particles little by little, and the scene looked very magical.
The ancient paintings that are broken down into particles are very beautiful, but Ren Fei has no time to appreciate them, and now is the most critical moment, whether it can be done or not depends on this time!
Fix Crafting!
Drawing a magic array again, the light blue light gradually turned red, the particles in mid-air quickly converged, and the next moment, a complete ancient painting appeared in front of Ren Fei!
Fix complete! The fix was really successful!
Surprise, absolute surprise, Ren Fei didn't expect that his first alchemy would end with such a happy ending.
Although it is absolutely impossible to follow the steps in memory, to be honest, Ren Fei still had no confidence before.
But now, the successful restoration of ancient paintings has brought Ren Fei great encouragement.
From this moment on, Ren Fei's life will be turned upside down!
Selling ancient paintings, Ren Fei did not go to the antique market again, but came to the most reputable antique shop in Lincheng City-Jubao Zhai.
The reason why I chose this place is mainly because Ren Fei is a layman to antiques, and the transactions in the antique market are not reliable, and only big stores are more reputable
After entering the door, the ancient paintings were shot, and immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper, all of them are connoisseurs, of course there is no problem in distinguishing the true from the fake, this is indeed a very complete preservation of the ancient paintings of the Ming Dynasty, the value is very high!
"Young man, I am a little presumptuous, but can you tell me where you got this painting?" The shopkeeper can't put down Ren Fei's ancient paintings, and there are so few preserved ancient paintings that no antique lover wants to miss such treasures.
And it would be nice if I could have more of them.
"Do you still have to ask the source of the goods in your store?" Ren Fei's brows furrowed, the words of the owner of this shop are a bit too much, right?
"I'm sorry, I'm also a little excited, it's so good, it's too rare, if it's a little layman, I'm afraid I'll think it's an old fake......" The shopkeeper saw that Ren Fei's face was not good, and hurriedly explained.
In fact, in the antique industry, some words are still taboo, and you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, and if you ask, it's not beautiful.
"This is handed down by my ancestors, and recently I have been really tight on money, so I can only take the treasure out to exchange money." Ren Fei lied and didn't blink his eyes, it was naturally impossible for him to tell the truth to this strange shopkeeper, just make up a reason to fool the past, as for believing it or not, what is the matter with Ren Fei?
"I see, young man, I wonder if you have such good goods? If there is, I will buy it at a high price. The shopkeeper understood as soon as he heard it, and subconsciously regarded Ren Fei as a loser bear child, but this was indeed a good thing for the shopkeeper.
Playing antiques, who doesn't want to have more good things in their hands, Ren Fei's painting is more than enough to be used as a door goods, although it is not as good as the goods, but it is also very collectible.
If you can take the opportunity to get a few more good goods, the store owner is willing to spend more money.
"Although there are still a few pieces, I don't lack so much money for the time being, boss, you look at the price first, if I am short of money in the future, I will come to you again." Ren Fei didn't say anything to death, who knows if he will repair antiques and sell them in the future, which can be regarded as a precaution in advance.
"Okay, of course that's fine." As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was a door, as long as Ren Fei was satisfied this time, then the next transaction would definitely have a chance to be done.
"This painting is Qiu Ying's "Landscape Figures", it is said that Qiu Ying's paintings themselves are worth a lot of money, but this painting is Qiu Ying's essay, compared to those fine works, I am afraid I can't give too high a price."
The shopkeeper also gave Ren Fei a preventive shot in advance, Qiu Ying's paintings are very valuable, this is true, the most expensive can be auctioned for tens of millions, but it is an auction, and it is also Qiu Ying's heirloom work, this essay work naturally cannot be sold at such a high price.
"But there is also Wen Zhengming's withdrawal on it, which has also increased the value a lot, so let's do it, I will pay 400,000 yuan to accept this painting, what do you think, young man?" After a long period of silence, the shopkeeper finally gave his price.
"Four hundred thousand?" Ren Fei didn't expect that this painting would be so valuable, originally he thought it would be about the same if it could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
The main reason is that Ren Fei doesn't know Qiu Ying, if this painting is auctioned, as long as it is operated properly, it will be no problem to sell for millions.
It's just that Ren Fei has no way out, and he doesn't have so much time, although selling to an antique shop is the next choice, it is also the most haode choice.
"Young man, do you think it is less? This...... Four hundred and one thousand! I can only give it so high. Seeing that Ren Fei was stunned, the shopkeeper thought that Ren Fei was dissatisfied with this price, gritted his teeth, and added another 10,000.
"500,000, 500,000 I'll take it." Ren Fei didn't say a word, he asked for 500,000 yuan, who made him lack this money, but looking at it like this, the store owner was not prepared to use 500,000 yuan to take it.
"No, 500,000 is too much, 420,000 can't be more!"
Although he hoped to sell for 500,000 yuan, the owner of the store refused to let go, which made Ren Fei unable to do anything, and the two sides bargained for a while, and the painting was sold at a price of 450,000 yuan.
Ren Fei is very satisfied, and the owner of the store is also happy, this situation can be regarded as a win-win situation.
"Young man, this is my business card, if there is any more good goods, you must come to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
