"Exactly!"
Liu Sizhe slapped both hands together and said excitedly, "Even if someone thought of faking the seal paste, the Imperial Seal has been used for so many years, and the accumulated seal paste has an extremely complex composition. It would be practically impossible to forge. So, whether it's the real Li Kui or the fake Li Gui can be determined through scientific testing."
The seal paste used by each dynasty would have differed somewhat. Combined with the effects of accumulation and weathering, there was basically no possibility of this kind of seal paste being forged, so everyone agreed with what he had said.
At this point, Old Liu said, "Achen, keep the seal here for now. I'll have someone come to your place first thing tomorrow morning to collect some seal paste for testing."
Chu Chen nodded. "All right."
Next, everyone discussed ways to determine whether the Imperial Seal was genuine. In fact, there were still quite a few methods. For example, they could examine the carving techniques used for the inscriptions on the seal, the patina on it, and so on. After studying it carefully, they could actually prove that this Imperial Seal was probably genuine without testing the seal paste.
But when it came to authentication—especially the authentication of a national treasure like this—the more evidence, the better. Of course, everything had to be done without damaging the seal.
Because of the Imperial Seal, everyone was extremely excited, and before they knew it, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Considering that Old Liu was advanced in age, and that everyone either had to attend school or go to work the next day, Chu Chen's family said their goodbyes and went home.
After washing up, Chu Chen put his arm around Wu Ke and asked with a grin,
