Chapter 68 Return to Luochuan

"How many days will you go back?"

Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan and said with a puzzled face: "Are you not used to living here or something?"

In the beginning of cultivation, problems are most likely to occur. Jing Shizhen asked Su Xiaofan to live at home precisely because of this.

Usually there is a month when you will not have to travel when you are practicing Qigong. Jing Shizhen wanted Su Xiaofan to leave at that time.

"No, Master, it's me and Brother Gang's store that is about to open."

Su Xiaofan told the truth, it was impossible to hide things like opening an antique shop from Uncle Jing, and there was no need for him to lie.

"How are you doing with your Kung Fu practice? Have you memorized the Great Zhoutian Qi chart?"

Jing Shizhen didn't say anything about forcing him to stay. Cultivation also requires financial support.

Not to mention anything else, a stick of incense worth hundreds of thousands is not something Su Xiaofan can afford to burn now.

Jing Shizhen is only Su Xiaofan's master, not his biological father. Su Xiaofan still needs to figure out how to source the resources for his future cultivation.

"I have opened up several meridians of the Great Zhoutian, and I have also memorized the qi chart."

Su Xiaofan did not dare to say that he had opened up half of the meridians of the Great Zhoutian, otherwise the master would be hit again.

"Okay, just tell me when you are leaving and I will send the car to take you off."

Jing Shizhen nodded. As the old saying goes, master leads you in. Cultivation depends on the individual. Su Xiaofan is not his disciple, so he can't keep an eye on him.

"Yes, Master!" Su Xiaofan accepted Master's kindness.

"By the way, I'm going back to Luochuan next month."

Jing Shizhen suddenly thought of something, "When the time comes, I will go to seal the city. You can go with me."

"Going to seal the city? Master, what's the matter?"

Fengcheng is not far from Luochuan, which is also an ancient city. Su Xiaofan followed Zheng Dagang to buy goods there before.

"You'll know then."

Jing Shizhen didn't say much, and waved her hand to let Su Xiaofan go and rest.

In the evening, Su Xiaofan still meditated and practiced.

However, the time had been shortened to six hours. Feeling slightly exhausted, Su Xiaofan fell down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaofan did not go to the gym for strength training.

Instead, he drove Uncle Jing’s car and went straight to Panyuan Antique Market.

Nowadays, it is more difficult to pick up the leaks, but Su Xiaofan is not just trying to pick up the leaks.

During this day, his main focus was on old copper coins.

Friends who have been to antique markets know that the amount of old copper coins in antique markets is usually very large, and there are a lot of them when placed.

It is almost impossible to find valuable famous springs and treasures from these mountains of copper coins.

Regardless of the large number of copper coins, the stall owners must have looked at them one by one, and they had already collected the valuable ones.

Most of the coins that can be sold on street stalls are large-circulation, extremely common, or damaged copper coins.

Su Xiaofan's approach was different from theirs. What he focused on were those badly worn copper coins.

The wear and tear of copper coins is generally divided into two types. One is that the characters and patterns on the surface are worn away due to frequent use.

Such copper coins indicate a large circulation, which is generally unknown.

The other type is an unearthed copper coin.

Due to corrosion when buried in the ground, many copper coins are covered with patina, and some will break with force.

Even if these copper coins are cleaned out, their condition is extremely poor, and they are usually sold on street stalls.

This is what Su Xiaofan is looking for.

With the screening of the repair system, he can definitely find what he needs from these unidentifiable copper coins.

However, the reason why famous springs are called famous springs is because they are rare in number.

Su Xiaofan spent a whole day squatting in Panyuan and found two ancient springs that were among the fifty treasures.

One is a large Baoda Yuanbao of the Southern Tang Dynasty from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It is extremely rare and only three have appeared in the market.

Su Xiaofan checked and found out that the transaction price of this famous ancient spring treasure was around 500,000 yuan. It could be worth the money after repairing it.

There is also a copper coin called Jingkang Yuanbao, which was minted during the Qinzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Due to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the circulation of coins minted under the Jingkang reign was very small, and their quantity is extremely rare both in terms of handed down and unearthed.

The two copper coins Su Xiaofan found were both unearthed.

The rust on it had completely corroded the writing on the copper coin itself. If the repair system hadn't given the name, Su Xiaofan wouldn't have been able to recognize it.

Su Xiaofan couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed when he found two ancient spring treasures in the huge Panyuan antique market.

The next day, Su Xiaofan visited three antique markets and obtained four more ancient springs, all of which were severely damaged.

Six ancient springs in two days only cost Su Xiaofan 180 yuan, but he spent 500 to 600 yuan on travel expenses and food.

On the third day, Su Xiaofan gained a lot.

In addition to two ancient springs, he also missed a treasure.

It was a wooden bowl I found at a street stall selling miscellaneous items. The wooden bowl must have been burned by fire and was completely black.

However, in Su Xiaofan's repair system, the words Zabzaya Wooden Bowl were revealed.

This reminded Su Xiaofan of the Zabzaya wooden bowl he saw when he visited the New Palace Museum a few days ago.

This is a good thing. It was a tribute from Tibet to the Qing royal family in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

After spending eighty yuan, Su Xiaofan pocketed this Zabzaya wooden bowl that even the carvers at that time could not see.

Eight famous ancient spring treasures and a Zabzaya wooden bowl were what Su Xiaofan had gained in the past few days.

I didn't spend much money, the total amount was less than 500 yuan.

However, Su Xiaofan spent nine repair points to repair all nine objects.

The restored ancient spring treasures.

It still retains the faint bronze rust color of ancient coins, but its appearance is of the highest quality. At first glance, it seems that it is an ancient spring that has been inherited in an orderly manner, rather than one unearthed underground.

As for the Zabu Zaya wooden bowl, it was an eye-opener for Su Xiaofan.

Zabzaya is Tibetan, which means root or nodule.

The entire wooden bowl is carved from wooden roots. Various crafts such as carving, inlay, and lace decoration are integrated into the small wooden bowl.

Su Xiaofan checked it out and found out that this Zabzaya wooden bowl is said to have detoxifying properties and is currently only in the collection of the New Palace Museum.

The origin of the wooden bowl cannot be verified. It may be an object left over from the fire more than a hundred years ago, but I don’t know how it spread to the antique market.

After repairing these nine objects, Su Xiaofan only had forty-six repair points left.

Finding rare meteorites has obviously become Su Xiaofan's top priority again.

Only meteorites have repair value. Having repair value can help you practice faster, so the source must fall on the meteorite.

In the evening of the third day, Su Xiaofan also went to Yenching University and gave his sister some special Yenching snacks that he bought while visiting the antique market.

Looking at his sister's chubby face, Su Xiaofan felt that there was no need to worry about this girl anymore.

Although he knew what his sister studied in the special recruitment class, Su Xiaofan didn't ask or say much.

So far, Su Xiaofan has enjoyed the benefits of cultivation.

Apart from anything else, Su Xiaofan's body is now many times stronger than before, and his hearing and vision are also sharp.

After a day's walking, you only need to take a circle of Qi in the meridians of the soles of your feet, and you will instantly feel no fatigue.

Su Xiaofan still doesn't know about the disadvantages of cultivation. If he discovers it in the future, the worst he can do is make his sister drop out of school. Anyway, he can afford it.

After collecting the things he received during his visit to Yanjing, Su Xiaofan suddenly felt that he had gained a lot.

The magic weapon included the Rudraksha bracelets, which turned around and returned to Su Xiaofan's hand.

Hetian Jade's Guanyin Jade Pendant, Han Dynasty Bagua Feng Shui Mirror, not counting my own dragon-shaped jade pendant, there are three magical instruments in total.

In fact, when visiting the antique market these days, Su Xiaofan also encountered some objects that could be used to cultivate magic weapons.

This also allowed Su Xiaofan to figure out some rules.

Su Xiaofan discovered that whether it is a modern handicraft or an antique, an object with very good material itself may contain a magic weapon.

With this discovery, Su Xiaofan did not buy those objects.

Such things can be encountered in the Luochuan antique market. Before solving the problem of repair value, he will not consider cultivating the magic weapon for now.

There are nine antiques, including the eight famous treasures and Zabzaya's wooden bowl.

These nine objects are all treasures that can be auctioned.

Especially the Zabzaya wooden bowl, which Su Xiaofan estimated to be worth at least 10 million.

Those eight famous treasures can be sold for more than 10 million yuan in total.

As long as the auction can go smoothly, establish relationships with various auction houses.

From now on, Su Xiaofan will continue to provide auction items, which is equivalent to cashing out a small amount of repair value, and then buying rare meteorites.

As for the idea of ​​meteorite hunters, Su Xiaofan put it aside.

Maybe I will go out to search for meteorites in the future.

But now that he has money on hand, Su Xiaofan still wants to collect meteorites from major auction houses or private individuals as soon as possible, which will undoubtedly be more efficient.

Su Xiaofan also put those meteorites that could not be absorbed into the box, so that they could be more or less pretentious in the future.

I got on the train to Luochuan early in the morning.

A few hours later, Su Xiaofan carried the suitcase and left the station. When he looked up, he saw Zheng Dagang who had come to pick him up.

"If you don't come back, I will ask Yanjing to find you." Zheng Dagang said with a resentful look on his face as he snatched the box from Su Xiaofan's hand.

Su Xiaofan asked him to open the antique shop.

After all the procedures were completed, Su Xiaofan was nowhere to be seen, which really made Zheng Dagang very anxious.

"Xiaofan, what good things did you get back?"

As soon as he got in the car, Zheng Dagang couldn't wait to ask.

"Famous ancient spring treasures, eight pieces!" Su Xiaofan planned to give Brother Gang some reassurance.

"All eight are precious treasures?"

Zheng Dagang's hand trembled when he put the gear into gear.

He has been in the market for more than ten years and has dabbled in almost all antiques. Whether Jing is proficient in it or not will be discussed later. At least Zheng Dagang knows a little bit about it.

“They are all famous treasures, and their condition is photogenic!”

Su Xiaofan nodded and said: "I collected it from a place. Brother Li Gang, don't ask where it comes from. I can't tell you either."

Su Xiaofan opened his mouth first and blocked Zheng Dagang's mouth.

"Don't ask, don't ask!"

Zheng Dagang was so excited that he almost mistook the SUV for a sports car and drove off with a kick of the accelerator.

"Hehe, eight famous treasures."

"Xiaofan, look at it, I have to find an auction house to hold a special sale for us."

Zheng Dagang has not been idle during this time, he has been thinking about the auction.

Zheng Dagang basically knows all the store owners in the antique market. He goes there and chats a few times every day, which helps him get a lot of information.

The annual spring auction and autumn auction of the auction house are the most important.

The auction house will select an auction theme each time based on the items prepared for auction.

For example, if there are a lot of porcelains for auction at a certain time, the auction house will hold a special sale for porcelains and publicize them in advance to attract collectors of those porcelains.

Famous ancient treasures from Koizumi have always been relatively rare among auction items. Sometimes, even one famous treasure may not come up for auction in three to five years.

Now Su Xiaofan got eight famous treasures at once.

Zheng Dagang was very confident to negotiate terms with the auction house and give them a special auction of famous treasures.
