Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Viewers in the live stream are having a heated discussion about the token.

Some say it's from the Tang Dynasty, others say it's from the Northern and Southern Dynasties—it's a wide variety of theories, like a large-scale guessing game.

Among them, many self-proclaimed "know-it-alls" jumped out and made up a lot of nonsense and fabricated stories about this token.

Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, Chen Yibai suddenly blurted out, "This is a high-quality fake!"

This really got the viewers in the live stream completely on edge.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

【? ? ? ? 】

[Did I hear that right? The streamer actually said it's a high-quality fake?]

[Haha... This is hilarious! I'm an expert in antique bronze appraisal. Judging from the rust and the gilding, this token is clearly a genuine piece. The streamer dares to call it a high-quality fake? With this level of expertise, you dare to do a live appraisal? Call the police!]

[Host, if you don't understand, go back and reflect before coming back. Don't just guess and pretend to be a know-it-all!]

[Exactly! Hey streamer, don't you even open your eyes and see who you're doing a live stream with?!]

This streamer's skill level has been exposed; he's a complete fraud. Everyone, let's all move on...

[A major car crash?]

Judging from the barrage of criticism and ridicule from netizens in the live stream, this is not only a major disaster, but it could also lead to the collapse of his public image and the destruction of millions of fans!

Even Wang Haichuan, who was watching the live stream the whole time, couldn't help but frown when Chen Yibai said that it was a high-quality counterfeit.

The token in Yan Xuefei's hand was undeniably genuine, judging from the natural rust on its surface and the gilding technique. It was a genuine item at first glance!

Anyone with even a little bit of expertise in identification can tell the difference at a glance.

"But why would Chen Yibai say this is a high-quality replica? It doesn't seem like the work of a tomb raider."

Wang Haichuan scratched his head again, then rolled his eyes and thought, "The fact that Shending Group went to such lengths to have Chen Yibai authenticate this thing via live stream means there might actually be something wrong with it!"

So Wang Haichuan adjusted his reading glasses again, held up his phone, and stared at it intently for another look, but still couldn't see anything wrong with it; it was indeed an old object.

"Oh? Lieutenant Chen, are you sure... this is a high-quality replica? Don't you want to take a closer look at the patina and the gilding?"

In the other half of the live stream, Yan Xuefei kept her focus on the token. When she heard that her item was a high-quality counterfeit, she wasn't angry. She just asked again, slightly surprised, to confirm.

Chen Yibai calmly shook his head and said, "No need to look at it. This is a dud. It's just that it was unearthed a long time ago. I'd conservatively estimate that it was unearthed around the late Qing Dynasty, which is the late Sui or early Tang Dynasty!"

【? ? ? ? ? 】

Chen Yibai's words immediately caused an uproar among the viewers in the live stream.

[Host, didn't you just say this was a high-quality replica? How did it become a late Sui or early Tang dynasty piece?]

Stop showing off. I don't believe the streamer can tell when this thing was unearthed.

[Is the streamer just creating hype for the livestream? They were just saying it was a high-quality imitation, and now it's supposed to be the late Sui and early Tang dynasties?]

[What a load of rubbish! How could you not see something so obvious? The streamer must have checked the chat and then changed their story at the last minute!]

Yan Xuefei, also curious, asked in return, "Host, then why did you just say that this is a high-quality replica?"

Chen Yibai shrugged and smiled: "This is indeed a high-quality replica, but I didn't say it was a modern replica! This is a Tang Dynasty replica of a Han Dynasty item!"

Before Yan Xuefei could ask any more questions, Chen Yibai continued to explain in a serious tone, "This is a Tang dynasty imitation of a Han dynasty 'Tu Xing Ling' game! To be precise, it should be a Sui-Tang dynasty imitation of a Western Han dynasty 'Tu Xing Ling' game!"

"As for what the Earth Element Order is, I'll take this opportunity to give you a free explanation."

"Those who have studied the history of tombs should know that during the Qin and Han dynasties, the practice of elaborate burials was prevalent. Historical records state that 'one-third of the tribute from the empire was used to support the ancestral temple, one-third to support guests, and one-third to support the imperial mausoleum.' Supporting the imperial mausoleum meant building a tomb. In other words, at that time, building a mausoleum for the emperor required one-third of the national revenue!"

"Emperors of the Han Dynasty began constructing their mausoleums in the second year of their reign, and some of these mausoleums could be built over several decades! Therefore, the construction of mausoleums was considered one of the most important national affairs! During the Western Han Dynasty, a special office called the 'Tuxingsi' was established to design and build mausoleums for the emperors!"

"In order to ensure the smooth progress of the national event of building the imperial mausoleum by the Earth Bureau, the current emperor has specially granted the Earth Bureau Decree. With this decree in hand, one can mobilize workers and farmers from all over the country at any time, collect building materials, and even have a certain power of life and death!"

At this point, Chen Yibai paused, took a sip of water, and cleared his throat.

Then he continued, "However, according to historical records, the Tuxingsi (土行司) of the Western Han Dynasty existed for a very short time. Before the imperial mausoleum was even completed, the emperor died prematurely, and the emperor who succeeded him abolished the Tuxingsi. Naturally, the Tuxingling (土行令) became nothing more than scrap metal..."

"Miss, this 'Tu Xing Ling' (a type of ancient Chinese military token) you have is from the Sui and Tang dynasties, so it's definitely a high-quality replica! As for why they would make such a high-quality replica of the Western Han dynasty's 'Tu Xing Ling' back then, I have no idea..."

After Chen Yibai finished speaking, the trolls who had been spewing insults in the live stream immediately shut up.

Because Chen Yibai's explanation was so logical and clear, laymen couldn't find any reason to refute it.

This streamer seems... to actually know something?

Is this just another story?

[I don't think it looks like it. I watched this streamer's previous live streams, and when he talked about the tomb of King Kang, it looked similar...]

Although the onlookers couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood, Wang Haichuan was very clear that what Chen Yibai had just said was indeed true.

Historical records indicate that during the Western Han Dynasty, there was indeed a very short period of time when a special agency called the "Tuxingsi" (土行司) was established, which was specifically responsible for constructing imperial tombs. There are also a few records of the "Tuxingling" (土行令).

To Wang Haichuan's surprise, historical records about "Tu Xingling" consisted of no more than fifteen characters in total, yet Chen Yibai knew so much about it.

Not only did he understand it clearly, Chen Yibai even recognized at a glance that the Earth Token in Yan Xuefei's hand was a high-quality replica from the Sui and Tang Dynasties!

"A miracle worker! He really is a miracle worker! Are the tomb raiders truly knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography, and there's nothing they don't know?"

Archaeologist Wang Haichuan sent a little heart.

Out of admiration for Chen Yibai's knowledge, Wang Haichuan sent him another little heart.

The second-ranked player who spent a hundred Carnivals has only sent one little heart so far?

Isn't this leap a bit too big?

Looking at the little heart-shaped gift from Wang Haichuan, Chen Yibai seemed to have already guessed what was going on...

Let's get back to the main topic.

In fact, Chen Yibai was not truly knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, or all things ancient and modern.

However, the thing Yan Xuefei was holding just happened to run right into Chen Yibai's line of fire.

The tomb raiders are not omniscient, but they definitely know everything about ancient tombs in history.

Especially this Earth Token, there's actually a little-known story behind it, but Chen Yibai just didn't mention it in the live stream...

As for Yan Xuefei, after hearing Chen Yibai's explanation, she didn't seem disappointed or even very surprised. She just gave a faint "oh" and put the high-quality replica of the Earth Token back into the sandalwood box.

This surprised Chen Yibai somewhat.

Judging from Yan Xuefei's reaction, it seemed as if she knew beforehand that the Earth Token was a high-quality fake.

"Are you testing me on purpose?"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes, noticing the number of viewers in the live stream was still rising, and then chuckled, "Miss, is there anything else you'd like to see?"

"Oh, that's all, thank you, Captain Chen! That's all for now..."

Yan Xuefei smiled slightly and then hung up the call.

Shending Group is giving away 10 DouLe No. 1 phones.

Shending Group has left the live stream.

Before leaving, Shending Group gave them another 10 DouLe No.1 phones.

To be honest, rich people are incredibly generous.

"Um... if anyone has any other questions about feng shui, feel free to ask the host..."

After Yan Xuefei from Shending Group left, Chen Yibai continued to talk about feng shui in his live stream.

The live stream lasted until 1:30 a.m.

After the broadcast ended, Chen Yibai immediately tallied up the revenue from the live stream.

Gifts and tips, plus some miscellaneous items, totaled 145 million!

After deducting the platform's 50% cut, I received over 700,000!

This is truly money falling from the sky like a gust of wind!

No wonder so many people are going to great lengths to gain traffic these days, even at the cost of their own lives.

Internet celebrities really make a lot of money!

Chen Yibai withdrew all the income from his account, knowing he would need the money for a long time.

After withdrawing the money, Chen Yibai searched online for "Shending Group" to investigate its background in detail.

"Spending a whopping 900,000 yuan as a reward just to get me to help authenticate a high-quality counterfeit Earth Token? Or is it to test myself?"

Chen Yibai felt that no matter what the purpose was, it was a bit unreasonable!

A quick online search for "Shending Group" reveals countless reports about its various charitable endeavors, projecting an image of a true philanthropist.

After scrolling down many more web pages, Chen Yibai realized that the main business of the Shending Group was antique auctions. No wonder he had so many good things at home!

What surprised Chen Yibai even more was that he found a post online about the history of Shending Group's rise to prominence.

The post essentially reveals that Yan Tianjiu, the founder of Shending Group, was descended from ancestors who were the leaders of the Xieling Warriors, participated in the looting of the Eastern Qing Tombs during the warlord era, and even served as traitors during the Anti-Japanese War...

This post may be a malicious smear against Shending Group.

But when it comes to the leader of the Unloading Ridge Warriors during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, his surname really was Yan, and Chen Yibai even knew him...
