Early the next morning, Xia Haoran got up, left the hotel, and started running around Yanta Park. At the same time, he let go of his consciousness and carefully observed every inch of the park.
Passing by the side of the square, he saw an energetic old man doing Tai Chi. Each move was very rigorous. It seemed to be the same as other Tai Chi, but it seemed to be a little different. A layman could see the excitement, but an expert could see it.
It is obvious that this is an old man who practices internal martial arts, but his cultivation level is so mediocre that he cannot catch Xia Haoran's eyes.
Xia Haoran just stopped and watched for a few minutes before losing interest and started doing his morning exercises again.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xia Haoran returned to the hotel covered in sweat. He took a nice hot shower, changed into fresh and clean clothes and went out. Of course, he checked out of the hotel.
At a breakfast stall, Xia Haoran ordered a portion of Roujiamo and a portion of spicy soup. After eating breakfast, Xia Haoran hailed a taxi on the side of the road and headed west.
Go to the antique street of the city.
The scale of the antique market in Xishi is at least dozens of times larger than that in Lingnan. There are thousands of large and small shops alone, and that's not counting the small vendors that line the streets.
Xia Haoran drove the "super plug-in" called Divine Sense and wandered around various street stalls and small shops leisurely. He did not touch and see piece by piece like other pickers. As long as he was within the coverage of Divine Sense,
Some of them can be clearly perceived by him, so this also greatly speeds up his browsing speed.
According to Xia Haoran's statistics, the number of jade stones containing spiritual energy in the entire West City Antique Market is more than 20 yuan. Except for a few pieces with particularly deceptive high prices, he swept the rest into his backpack. After going around, he pocketed
As much as 400,000 yuan was debited from my bank card.
It’s really fatal!
Although the average price of 20,000 yuan per piece is very cheap, no one would be happy to spend so much wasted money all at once. Although I almost won more than 10 million yuan in gambling yesterday, according to my situation
How many times can I go down? It’s really painful!
"It's time to do something serious!" Xia Haoran muttered in his heart, "Gambling and stone betting are too risky and cannot be operated for a long time. Besides, this kind of money laundering-like method is wrong in the first place. In addition, it is also
There is no way I can go home and explain to my parents."
Therefore, Xia Haoran gave up on buying spiritual stones, and instead shifted his energy to other miscellaneous things. Trying his luck, he might be able to pick up some good things and make a small profit.
Ordinary antiques, after a long time, will naturally reveal an ancient atmosphere that is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. This ancient atmosphere is like old wine. Even if it is dregs, it will have a special flavor after a long time.
Chen Wei'er, this is the accumulation and precipitation of time, and it is an extremely natural phenomenon. This kind of breath is the same as the vitality of a cultivator. Xia Haoran can sense it if he does not deliberately cover it up with formations or seals. However, it makes him feel
What’s depressing is that most of the products on the antique street don’t have the slightest sense of antiquity. Thinking about it, most of them are fakes.
Xia Haoran guessed right, most of these so-called antiques are fakes. In fact, this is really difficult for the vendors, because even they themselves don't know whether what they sell is fake or genuine.
Finding something good among a lot of fakes and buying it at a very low price is called missing out. Once you succeed in finding out, you may turn around and make a net profit of dozens or even hundreds of times.
Therefore, a large group of "Taobao leak pickers" can be seen everywhere on the antique street. They linger and never tire of it. This is a high-profit and high-net-worth industry. In their eyes, if you succeed in picking up missing items, you have made money;
, it’s time to pay tuition.
Xia Haoran compressed the "super plug-in" of his consciousness to about ten meters and walked towards a small stall. This was a stall set up by a middle-aged man. There were some scattered things on the stall, including rusty ones.
Ancient coins, lacquered gold and silver-plated ornaments, and old-fashioned porcelain...
From the appearance, these objects have gone through the baptism of time and appear to be very old. Only when they are ancient and old can they be called antiques, but in fact they are not like this.
Suddenly, a very light and weak breath came into Xia Haoran's mind. He sensed it carefully and found that it was a vase from the Qing Dynasty. Xia Haoran squatted down and picked at the things on the stall.
Picky.
When the stall owner saw the business coming, he hurriedly said: "Sir, come and take a look. These are all good things. They are definitely genuine."
Xia Haoran pretended to be careless, picked up a porcelain bowl and said, "How much does this cost?"
The stall owner looked at Xia Haoran and said, "This is 1,500."
Xia Haoran didn't say anything and stood up, pretending to be ready to leave at any time. The middle-aged stall owner suddenly became anxious, thinking that he hadn't opened yet today, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, don't leave in a hurry.
Then you can take it for 500."
Xia Haoran nodded, took out five red cards from his wallet and handed them to the stall owner, turned around and left. The stall owner saw the happy look of the young man in front of him when he took out the money, and knew that he was going to be short, and immediately regretted it.
Next, Xia Haoran bought a Buddha statue, a snuff bottle, a Yuan blue and white porcelain plate, a wooden comb, a butterfly hairpin used by the famous prostitute Li Shishi, a jade pendant from the Warring States period, a Tang Sancai, and flowers from other stalls.
The price was less than 180,000 yuan. The Tang Sancai is fake, and the others are real. Xia Haoran bought it deliberately. A few genuine ones are fine, and I can say that I am lucky. If they are all real, none of them will be lost.
Anyone who has systematically learned the knowledge of antique appreciation will definitely arouse suspicion from others, and the risk is too great.
The entire antique street was almost finished, and he could no longer find anything with a hint of antiquity. This made Xia Haoran a little disappointed. At this time, he happened to walk to the door of an antique house.
"Linlang Jade" is the word. Looking at the big characters on the plaque, Xia Haoran couldn't help but read it out loud. After being stunned for a moment, he raised his feet and walked in.
…
After a cup of tea, Xia Haoran walked out of Qingyaxuan under the surprised and admiring eyes of the guys. At this time, Xia Haoran held a personal business card of the owner of Linlang Jade Shop in his hand, and the bank card in his pocket also added 1,700
Thousands.
Leaving the antique street, Xia Haoran went straight to the medicinal materials market. After scanning around, he already carried several large sacks in his hands. This did not include the several large bags that he had secretly thrown into the storage space when no one was looking when he went to the toilet.
. Just like that, after leaving the medicinal materials market, my bank card was depleted by more than 900,000 yuan.
Xia Haoran's trip to the West Market was a fruitful one.
The bank card now has a balance of more than 28 million, hundreds of spiritual stones, and several large bags of medicinal materials. These resources are enough to support my cultivation for a long time.
It was already past 7pm when he returned to Lingnan. Xia Haoran went straight back home. While eating a hot dinner, he also briefly explained his whereabouts in the past two days to his parents.
As soon as he entered his small room, Xia Haoran quickly took out a few hemp cloth bags from the space inside the cauldron and began to sort out the medicinal materials. These are his own food. Although they are very common medicinal materials, they are also
After all, it was better than nothing. He understood the principle of adding up a little makes a lot, not to mention that Xia Haoran was still in the beginning stage of cultivation, so it was suitable to use these medicinal materials.
This time, Xia Haoran spent more than two hours to completely sort out this batch of medicinal materials, and put them into the space inside the tripod together with the batch purchased at the Lingnan Medicinal Materials Market last time.
At night, Xia Haoran gave his parents a comprehensive examination and nodded with satisfaction. The hard work of more than half a month has not been in vain. Now, all the physical indicators of his parents have reached his expectations. It seems that,
It's time to find an appropriate opportunity to show off with your parents.
