Chapter 243 - 243 242 The Difference Between Turning Over a Bag and a Real Musk Gland

243: Chapter 242: The Difference Between Turning Over a Bag and a Real Musk Gland 243: Chapter 242: The Difference Between Turning Over a Bag and a Real Musk Gland “Alright, let’s reveal the answer!

This musk gland that many of you felt good about is actually a fake musk pod!!

First, let’s dissect it to show you what the inside of a fake musk pod looks like!” Yue Feng announced the answer, then placed the pod in the center position.

Yue Feng gently held the musk gland with his left hand, the smooth side facing up, and stabilised the scalpel with his right hand, “Watch closely, I am starting!”

“Due to the extremely high price of musk, the shell of the musk gland is also quite expensive.

Therefore, many counterfeiters opt to insert the blade on the smooth side when dissecting a musk.

This way, after the contents are removed, the shell can still basically retain its original shape.

Through some counterfeiting techniques, it can even be reused!

Since we are here to educate everyone, there’s no need for that kind of slicing method.

Instead, I’ll show you a destructive cutting technique, which I call the Cross Flower Blade!”

The scalpel was very sharp.

Yue Feng made a clean, decisive cut in the form of a large cross right at the center of the smooth side.

The gland was incised, revealing the “filling” in front of everyone.

It was a type of brown sugar-like powder and granules, with some round, slightly dark musk-like substances.

The pod contained a substantial amount of powder, resembling a thin-skinned, large-filling bun.

“This is the typical appearance of a fake musk pod after it has been cut open.

The so-called musk inside appears the color and texture of brown sugar chunks, with very little moisture, easily pourable!

I’m going to pour it out now, everyone pay attention to the details!”

While talking, Yue Feng fetched a glass beaker and poured all the filler from the fake musk pod into it.

The filler was abundant, filling up about one-third of a small beaker.

After pouring out all the powder, Yue Feng showed everyone the remaining shell.

“See the inside?

It’s basically completely dry, virtually nothing sticking!

The hairy side, or what we usually call the bottom, is actually quite thin!

In my judgment, the bottom is real, but the smooth side was likely pressed on using a sheep’s bladder.

Let’s tear open the connected part and examine the details!”

The next second, Yue Feng pinched a corner of the incision and easily tore it off.

As Yue Feng had described, upon peeling away one corner, the connection inside was clearly unnatural, with visible traces of glue.

“Dammit, it really is glued on!

That’s so deceitful!”

“Previously in another broadcaster’s live room, I think I saw him using a musk gland that might be one of the fakes Yue Feng showed us!”

“This musk is more expensive than gold.

A single musk gland weighs several tens of grams at the base.

Just now, if that fake musk pod were sold to someone unknowledgeable, it might have fetched over ten thousand.

This stuff is a gold mine!!”

“I’m a bit curious about what a real musk gland looks like when opened.

Is Yue Feng going to dissect a real one next?”

Yue Feng glanced at the chat, then said, “Don’t rush, everyone.

I’m about to open a real musk gland for you all to compare and see the difference!”

After speaking, Yue Feng moved the previous fake musk pod to one side, then took out a genuine musk gland.

Compared to the previous round and plump pod, this Musk Gland was much smaller, about half the size of the previous one, with a slightly protruding belly.

The smooth side had more varied textures, and many tiny blood vessels were visible.

“Before we start cutting, take a look at the details on the smooth side!

Natural objects have unique characteristics, such as the blood vessels and fine animal tissues visible there!

Press it gently with your hand, there is definite tactile feedback, but it’s not as exaggerated as the previous one!”

“Alright, after examining the exterior, let’s make a cut directly!” Yue Feng repeated his technique, arranging the Cross Flower Blade again.

After the real Musk Gland was cut open, its condition differed significantly from the previous one; the color of the musk was slightly more complex and noticeably deeper than the previous pod’s musk.

As for the condition, it was also more humid.

Yue Feng gently prodded it with the tip of his knife, and the powder inside could be picked out, but the texture had obvious differences.

“Do you see, the real musk looks like this, consistent with the musk particles I’ve shown you before!

It’s a bit more humid.

Now let’s get hands-on and scrape out all the powder!

This is genuine, and every little bit is money, we can’t waste it!”

After saying this, Yue Feng directly got to work, painstakingly picking out all the musk particles from inside.

In the middle, the top part was somewhat easier, but as he dug toward the bottom, it became noticeably harder.

Much of the powder stuck to the bottom and required prying off with his hands.

After a busy effort, Yue Feng had cleaned out most of the musk particles.

The viewers in the live stream saw the whole process from start to finish, but they could only see the visuals, missing out on the rich, unique scent of the musk that only Yue Feng “enjoyed.”

The musk that had just been taken out of the pod had a very prolonged smell, filling the entire room with a putrid, fishy, stinky odor, likely to affect his sleep tonight.

“You can only see the visuals, but actually this stuff has a very strong smell!

I’m basically unable to smell anything else right now!” Yue Feng said, slightly rubbing his nose in discomfort.

“After scooping out the musk particles, let me show you the real Musk Shell and what its structure is like!

Watch closely!”

“In this inner layer, do you see, there is a layer of silver skin, which is premium stuff, its active ingredients are no less than those of the musk particles.

We need to tear off this soft skin and use it together!

The silver skin is quite soft; it is closely bonded and not too hard to tear, but it is a bit tedious and requires some patience!”

After the inner silver skin was torn off, Yue Feng then showed everyone the base inside.

“Do you see the position of this fragrance outlet?

Here are some fine gold hairs growing inward, which are also very important conditions for distinguishing real from fake musk!

These gold hairs can sometimes be seen in the musk particles, but in a Fake Musk Pod, they are generally hard to find.”

After displaying the gold hairs and silver skin, Yue Feng applied a bit of force to tear off the lid’s sticking point.

Now, the connecting details were exposed to everyone.

These connection points, before drying, were actually the musk’s muscle and fascia tissues, so the connections transitioned very smoothly.

Once torn open, the dried textures inside were clearly visible.

Compared to the previous Fake Musk Pod, the differences were extremely obvious.

“Alright, I’ve now shown you all the general properties of both Real and Fake Musk Glands!

Next up, I’ll show you what the common types of fake musk look like on the market!!”
