Chapter 1316 [1316] Have you ever heard of the Yongle Encyclopedia?
After the upgraded deep scan, the scanning range can be expanded to one thousand meters.

The information of all objects within a kilometer range was presented in front of Ye Feng.

"Let's go and take a look over there." Ye Feng naturally held Xia Qiu's tender little hand.

Xia Qiu struggled instinctively, but he held her tightly. She was afraid that further struggle would cause his dissatisfaction, so she finally gave up, but her little face was already red.

Ye Feng pulled her along the way, and soon they saw a second-hand bookstore at the corner.

"Are these the treasures you mentioned?"

Xia Qiu looked at the shabby bookstore. The storefront was not big and the space was only a dozen square meters. Even the signboard was faded by the sun. It didn't look like there were any treasures there.

"Little girl, don't be fooled by appearances." Ye Feng said in a condescending tone, then pulled her into the used bookstore.

He first pretended to walk around the bookshelf, then pulled out two books from the middle shelf.

The two books were a bit worn, the pages were a bit yellowed, and the covers were long gone. It could be said that they looked very bad.

Ye Feng didn't even look through them carefully, and walked to the cashier with the two books, "How much are these two books?"

The boss just glanced up and quoted a price, "Fifty thousand island currency."

Fifty thousand national currency is equivalent to about twenty six hundred Chinese currency, which is not expensive.

But Ye Feng still bargained with him for a long time and finally bought it for 40,000 island country dollars.

Xia Qiu looked at this wealthy man with assets worth hundreds of billions of Chinese yuan, and he actually bargained with others for a few hundred dollars. He suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

This scene is really funny.

After Ye Feng paid the bill, he immediately took her out of the bookstore.

"Is this the treasure you were talking about?" Xia Qiu looked at the two books in his hands with disdain. They were so worn out and didn't look like treasures at all.

"You don't understand this. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Yongle Encyclopedia?" Ye Feng deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"Yongle Encyclopedia? I seem to have heard of the name, but I'm not sure what it is specifically." Xia Qiu answered honestly.

"The Yongle Encyclopedia was compiled by Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. It has 22877 volumes and about 3.7 million characters, and it contains to books from ancient times to the present. However, some of it has been lost in every dynasty, especially in the late Qing Dynasty. Up to now, less than % of it remains in the world..."

Ye Feng spoke leisurely and Xia Qiu listened with great interest.

"Previously, a Paris auction house auctioned two volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia, and they were sold for a whopping 6.4 million euros..."

When Xia Qiu heard this number, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

6.4 million euros is equivalent to about 65 million Chinese yuan, which is an unimaginable sky-high price.

Then, she suddenly thought of something from Ye Feng's words, "You mean, these two books are... the Yongle Encyclopedia?"

"Yes, these are two of them." Ye Feng's voice was a little excited when he spoke.

He had only done it unintentionally, but he had not expected to reap such a huge reward in such a place.

Xia Qiu covered her mouth in shock, looked down at the two worn books, then looked up at Ye Feng.

If these words had not come from Ye Feng's mouth, she would never believe that these two books were worth tens of millions of Chinese yuan.

Even though Ye Feng said it, she was still half-believing and half-doubting.

The main reason is that this is really unbelievable.

Ye Feng just walked into a bookstore and picked up two books at random, and they were worth tens of millions? Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Ye Feng could only shrug helplessly and said, "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. If you know any experts in this field, you can ask them to identify it."

After hearing his reminder, Xia Qiu immediately remembered something, "I was filming a costume drama before, and the crew invited a consultant at that time. She was said to be a professor in the Archaeology Department of Yenching University. I can ask her for advice."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to take out his cell phone to contact the professor.

Ye Feng did not stop her. If he could spread the news through the mouth of this professor from Yenching University, the influence of Maple Leaf Pavilion would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the professor must be someone who knows what he is talking about.

Xia Qiu quickly made a video call to the professor.

An old lady with grey hair soon appeared in the video. She had a heroic look on her face and looked difficult to get along with.

"Hello, Teacher Xu, do you still remember me?" Xia Qiu immediately greeted the professor sweetly.

"Of course I remember. You're a very smart girl. I like you very much." Professor Xu had a sincere smile on her face, and it was obvious that she really liked Xia Qiu.

"I learned a lot from you during that time and have always admired you." Xia Qiu's little mouth was very sweet, making Professor Xu smile.

"Xiao Xia, is there something you want to talk to me about today? Just tell me what it is. I'm busy here." Professor Xu looked like a straightforward old lady and asked directly to the point.

"Teacher Xu, it's like this, my friend found two books in the island country. He said it seemed to be the Yongle Encyclopedia. Can you take a look and see if it's real?" Xia Qiu said as he pointed the camera at the two books in Ye Feng's hands.

"Yongle Encyclopedia? How much did your friend pay for it?" Professor Xu asked as he picked up his reading glasses from the table.

"It seems like I spent two thousand Chinese yuan." Xia Qiu told the truth.

Professor Xu laughed when he heard this. "Your friend must have bought a fake. Every time a copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia is published, it is sold at a sky-high price. How can you buy it for two thousand yuan? You should add four zeros to the end to get it right."

Xia Qiu covered her mouth and smiled, "I told him the same thing, but he is very confident. Please help him learn to be more humble in the future."

When Ye Feng heard her say this, he suddenly became unhappy and began to threaten her with his eyes.

Xia Qiu was not afraid, but waved his little fist at him.

It seemed that with the support of Professor Xu, she became fearless.

Although Professor Xu felt it was unreliable, he still leaned over to the phone and watched it carefully for Xia Qiu's sake.

She seemed a little nonchalant at first, but after just two glances, her expression became serious.

"Xiao Xia, please move your phone closer." Her voice trembled, and she was obviously a little excited.

Xia Qiu heard something strange in her voice and hurriedly moved the phone closer.

"Open it and let me see..."

"Let me see the binding part..."

"Let me see the paper again..."

Professor Xu kept directing her, and his voice became more and more excited. Finally, he fell down on the chair with his eyes wide open.

"Teacher Xu, are you okay?" Xia Qiu was shocked when he saw her like this.

Could it be that Teacher Xu was furious when she saw this fake? Then she would be guilty of a serious crime.

After a long while, Professor Xu slowly raised his head and looked at the camera. "Xiao...Xiao Xia, what does your friend do?"
