After clearing away the papers on the floor, Liang En turned on his mobile phone that had been turned off overnight. After a few ding-ding-ding-ding sounds, several missed messages appeared on WeChat and email.
Apart from the regular daily greetings from his family, most of the rest were just chats and advertisements, so he walked out of the room after saying he was safe with his family.
His target is the Ljubljana City Center Market, which is one of the few lively places in the small city of Ljubljana and a traditional gathering place for local residents every Saturday.
This market was built between 1940 and 1944. The entire market is covered and stretches along the Ljubljanica River. Small shops here sell fresh meat, fish, bread and pastries, dairy products, dried fruits, herbs, etc.
wait.
Because the distance was not far, Liang En quickly reached his destination on his bicycle. Unlike many big cities, the city center of this small city with less than 300,000 people is mostly composed of three- and four-story small buildings.
, the streets also look quite narrow.
Today happens to be the day when the weekend market is open, so there are not many people on the streets, especially after being squeezed into the narrow streets, it seems extremely crowded.
"It would be great if we could get a true method of spiritual cultivation. Then we could find all the valuable and good things on the market with just one look."
While struggling to squeeze through the crowd and looking through the messy things on the stall, Liang En complained in his heart.
After discovering that spiritual energy existed in the modern world, Liang En immediately realized that theoretically there would also be some supernatural beings in this world.
It's just that because the local spiritual energy is inert, it definitely cannot support things like gods, gods, ghosts, and ghosts. However, some heavenly, material, and earthly treasures may still exist, and because the inertia of the spiritual energy will not hide itself.
Of course, compared with the ancient world, the quality and quantity of natural materials and treasures in the modern world will be significantly lower, but the good thing is that no one in this world will compete with him for these things.
That's why he came to this weekend market, hoping to find his favorite items here.
It's a pity that he is currently learning martial arts, so he can't master some kind of qi-gaining technique like the Taoist skills, and he can find extraordinary items from a large number of things at a glance.
Like most flea markets in Europe and the United States, most of this flea market sells electrical appliances, daily necessities, clothing, and even food. The antiques and sundries stalls Liang En is looking for are scattered among those stalls.
of.
In other words, Liang En needs to visit the entire market to see all the stalls he wants to find, and then confirm whether this place has what he wants.
However, after conducting a preliminary inspection, he had to admit that in this world where available spiritual power was extremely rare, even if there were indeed extraordinary resources, there would not be many. For example, there would most likely not be any in this market.
Fortunately, the quality of the things here is pretty good, and a lot of them are old things that residents took out from their homes. There is a high probability that there are valuable things in them.
After looking at seven or eight stalls, Liang En fell in love with a machete with a strong Arabic style at a stall where local residents were selling things.
"How much does this scimitar cost?" After picking it up and weighing it, Liang En deliberately asked in English with a strong Chinese accent.
Although he didn't know the origin of this sword, as the only warrior in the modern world who cultivated the sense of Qi, he found that the center of gravity of this sword was perfect as soon as he used it.
A sword that could do this, even if it was a modern imitation, was of high quality, so Liang En decided to buy it, of course on the condition that it would not be slaughtered as a fat sheep.
"2,000 euros."
Seeing someone asking about the price, this punk young man with blond hair blowing out and the top of his blond hair dyed emerald green raised his eyebrows and said.
"Friends from the East, you are really discerning. This is an Arabian scimitar brought back from the Crusades. You can take it for only 2,000 euros - eh, don't leave."
"150 euros."
After hearing the other party calling him, Liang En stopped and turned around and said.
"But this is an antique." After hearing Liang En's quotation, the young man in front of him felt a little nervous, but he still said stiffly. "You should know that antiques are very valuable."
"Yes, but I have never heard of any antiques using plastic as the handle of the sword." Liang En bent down and knocked on the handle of the knife. "And the whole knife looks no different from scrap metal."
After several rounds of bargaining, the price between the two parties reached a stalemate at the price of 275 euros. After realizing that the price could not be lowered, Liang En finally bought the knife.
With the expression on the other side's face that you have made a lot of money, the two parties quickly reached a deal.
"Sure enough, those Chinese tourists are quite rich. They easily sold the items I received for 50 euros for 275 euros." After watching Liang En leave, the vendor counted the banknotes in his hands with a smile on his face.
He had seen this broken knife before, because it was so badly damaged that the repair cost alone would cost thousands of euros. Considering the fact that the ancient weapon itself was not valuable, he took it here to see if he could deceive it.
Next home.
In the end, I didn’t expect that I could find a foreign tourist to sell this piece of junk.
...
Just when the stall owner was thankful that he met a fat sheep, Liang En continued his journey to the market.
Unfortunately, he didn't know if he had used up all his luck just now, so he didn't find anything to buy except buying a few bags of unprocessed spices from a gypsy.
"It seems there is nothing here that I want. It's time to leave now." After looking at the time on his phone, Liang En returned to his room with the loot and then headed to the ancient world.
After putting the spices he brought in the cabinet, Liang En took the knife and walked out of the room.
"Master, what do you want?"
Uncle Zhang, who didn't know that Liang En had gone out once before, looked at the broken knife in his hand and asked curiously.
"Oh, my parents took this from pirates when they were doing business. I heard that it was a good knife in the past. Unfortunately, it was not well kept while doing business at sea and it has become like this now, so I was wondering if I could find someone to repair it."
"It's not easy to repair a sword. It's not like a hoe or a shovel that can be repaired by a blacksmith."
Looking at the condition of the knife in Liang En's hand, Uncle Zhang frowned and thought for a moment, then relaxed his brows.
"But there is a master in our city who came from Lishui. He used to be a sword maker and even made swords for Qianhu, the Jinyiwei in Suzhou."
"It's just that he's getting older now, so he went back to his hometown to recruit a few apprentices and open a small blacksmith shop. He almost doesn't do it himself. But if your knife is as good as you say, maybe it can be said
