Chu Chen cared so much about this matter because he had previously seen several pieces of porcelain suspected to have been made by Cai Jianxuan. The level they displayed was at least a notch below that of this Jiaotai bottle.
Perhaps someone might wonder whether the huge difference was because a long time had passed between the production of the two pieces of porcelain.
At first glance, that did seem possible. But then again, among the high imitation porcelain discovered by investigators some time ago, none displayed such superb craftsmanship. Moreover, appraisals showed that those pieces had not been made very long ago.
If that was the case, then the question arose: What kind of miracle pill had Cai Jianxuan eaten, or had he suddenly become enlightened? How else could his skill at imitating antique porcelain have undergone such a drastic change within one or two months, or even less?
Furthermore, considering the difficulty of this Jiaotai bottle, it must have taken a long time to make. So from last year until now, how much time had Cai Jianxuan actually had to make other imitations while working on this Jiaotai bottle? And how could he have produced so many?
Therefore, Chu Chen believed that these pieces of porcelain that were slightly inferior were very likely made by Cai Jianxuan's apprentices. Since he could teach an apprentice whose skill was already considered extremely advanced in ordinary people's eyes, there was no doubt he could teach two or three.
After that, those apprentices could teach their own apprentices. In the end, masters capable of producing high imitation porcelain might become widespread. Even if they did not become widespread, just two or three more could very likely cause terrifying consequences. And if the formula or something similar were to be spread as well,
