Gutong Street is the closest antique street to Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.
The antidote that Sun Xu was looking for was not an ordinary item, and certainly not something that could be bought in an ordinary market.
To get rid of the hundreds of fallen flowers Gu, he needs three crucial things, a Gu bell that has a history of hundreds of years and has been used at least five times, a green wood stick that is dozens of years old, and a special kind of jade.
, heart-nourishing stone.
These three things are indispensable, and it is definitely not easy to obtain them.
Especially the last heart-nourishing stone, if you want to encounter it, it all depends on chance.
Therefore, although Sun Xu came to the antiquities market today, he did not have high hopes of collecting all three materials. It would be a blessing to find one of the three.
Antiques market, real and fake.
There are hundreds of antique shops on this street, as well as countless roadside stalls. People of all kinds gather here, and there are transactions happening all the time, but 80% of the transactions are
Fake.
If you want to find genuine products here, you definitely need a pair of discerning eyes.
And of course Sun Xu is not lacking in this pair of wise eyes.
In this antique street, whether it was at a roadside stall or in a famous old store, he could tell the authenticity from the fake just by looking at it.
"Ancient paintings from the Tang Dynasty, with inscriptions written by Li Bai himself. If you are knowledgeable, come and take a look!"
"Song Dynasty ancient coins are sold in complete sets, and this is the only set."
All kinds of shouts filled the air of the antique street. As soon as Sun Xu entered the antique street, many vendors stared at him, as if they were looking at money.
Obviously, Sun Xu, who is only a high school student, has become a big deal and a cash cow in the eyes of these old fritters.
"Little brother, come to Antique Street to find treasures. Come and take a look at my place. The prices here are reasonable, and you will definitely not suffer a loss if you buy them." A middle-aged man in a gray coat, with quick eyes and quick hands, saw Sun Xu's
The first thing he did was to rush forward and pull Sun Xu to his stall.
Several stall owners nearby gave the middle-aged man a sharp look when they saw this, hating that they were a step too late to take action and were beaten to the punch.
"Little brother, the things I have here are not cheap, but they are all high-quality. Last time, a big brother bought a ceramic bottle from my stall for 3,000 yuan. He went back to find an expert to confirm, and it turned out that it was from the Tang Dynasty.
Blue and white porcelain! It sold for two million at auction!"
The middle-aged man who called himself Wang Mazi deceived Sun Xu as soon as he came up. However, anyone who knows anything knows that the price of blue and white porcelain that can be put at auction is not as low as two million.
They are all in the tens of millions.
Obviously, his words can only deceive those who don't understand anything.
Sun Xu simply chose to ignore it. He glanced around and saw that there were not many things on this stall. There were only dozens of large and small items in total. However, among the dozens of ancient artifacts, none of them were real or complete.
It's fake.
There is no value for Sun Xu to stay in such a stall for a moment, because he doesn't have much time at noon.
Of course, he didn't point it out directly. After all, this is also the norm in Antique Street.
As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, if you open for three years, half of it means receiving a treasure at a low price, and the other half means selling a fake at a high price.
Even though everything in Wang Mazi's stall is fake, as long as he catches a scammer, the money he sells will be almost pure profit, and it will definitely be a huge profit.
After leaving this stall, someone waved to him enthusiastically and pulled him down to the second stall.
It's just that it's almost the same as Wang Mazi's stall. Not to mention the three materials he needs, there is no valuable antiquities at all in this stall. They are all fakes. He took one look and said nothing.
Leave.
This happened several times in a row.
The small stall owners who originally thought Sun Xu was the one who took advantage of him all lost interest in him. This high school student would just take one look at any stall he went to and leave without even saying a word. He didn't want to buy anything at all.
It means you can visit this place for free as if it were a museum!
Such customers are simply wasting their time.
The stall owner at the back didn't even bother to talk to Sun Xu.
Sun Xu didn't care. Without the harassment from these people, he would save some time.
He shuttled between stalls, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he visited dozens of stalls. Among these stalls, he did see a few genuine works, but they were all inferior calligraphy and paintings from the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty.
The ancient coins were not of much value at all, and he was too lazy to waste time arguing with the stall owner on these things.
His main purpose was to use the three materials to cure Cai Yushan's poison. Unless there was something useful for him, he would not bother to waste time.
For half an hour, he walked around the antique street, but he didn't find any trace of any of the century-old Gu Bell, the green wooden stick, and the heart-nourishing stone. He looked at the time, and there was not much time. He had already spent half an hour.
I was ready to give up and go back to school and come back another day.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, and he immediately turned his head to scan.
Then, his eyes were attracted by a square black iron bowl on the stall in front of him.
The spiritual energy fluctuations came from this iron bowl!
"Magical weapon!"
"On this antique street, you can actually encounter a magic weapon?"
Sun Xu's expression suddenly changed. Although the magic weapon in front of him was a broken item, and almost all the magic power on it had been lost, but even so, the value of a magic weapon was definitely far beyond ordinary people's imagination. If
If placed at auction, this broken magic weapon could fetch at least millions of dollars.
So when he saw this magical weapon, Sun Xu was slightly surprised.
"Little brother, what's wrong, do you like this bowl?"
It has to be said that the stall owner's eyes are also astonishing. The moment Sun Xu's eyes fell on the iron bowl, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a good deal.
"Well, this bowl looks pretty good."
Although this magic weapon is broken, it does have a great effect on Sun Xu now. When the stall owner spoke, he did not deny it, but he also knew that all the merchants on this antique street were human beings, so he
He didn't show any urgency, he just said this simple sentence.
It was as if he was just an outsider who didn't know anything, and didn't know the value of this iron bowl at all. He just thought it looked good.
"Little brother, you have good eyesight. This iron bowl is not an ordinary bowl. It is an ancestral bowl of our family. It has a history of hundreds of years. It is definitely an antique. If you want it, little brother, I will give it to you.
Your actual price is one thousand!"
This stall owner was extremely enthusiastic. If Sun Xu was not a high school student, the price he offered would not be as low as one thousand, because he was afraid that he would scare Sun Xu away if he offered too high a price.
In that case, he would lose a good deal!
As long as he can sell this bowl, he will make a profit.
"five hundred!"
Sun Xu spoke directly without thinking.
His monthly living expenses are three thousand. When he went to buy medicine before, although he spent less than one thousand, there was still about two thousand. Although the price of one thousand was nothing compared to the value of this magical weapon, he also
He didn't accept it directly, but offered a price of five hundred, because he knew that in this antique street, if you act too lavishly, you will definitely be ripped off. Judging from the performance of this stall owner, he is obviously not
Know the true value of this iron bowl.
"Little brother, the price I offered is a sincere price. If you give me five hundred, it's really too little. Let's do this. I see you really want it, so I reluctantly give it up. Eight hundred! How about eight hundred?"
When the stall owner saw this, he immediately pretended to feel pain, but he was actually very happy in his heart, because as long as Sun Xu could bid, he would have made a profit, not to mention that the high school student in front of him also gave a price of five hundred.
"Five hundred!" Sun Xu said simply without backing down.
"Seven hundred, how about seven hundred?"
"Five hundred!" Sun Xu still did not increase the price.
"Forget it, five hundred is just five hundred. Who knows that little brother is destined to be a good match! Take this bowl, little brother!" The stall owner saw that Sun Xu had no intention of increasing the price at all, so he did not continue to bargain.
Five hundred yuan to buy a magic weapon!
This is definitely a treasure to be found in the antique market!
But this kind of thing does not happen to everyone. If you are not a knowledgeable person, it is impossible to recognize the value of this iron bowl.
Sun Xu didn't show any excitement at all. He took out 500 yuan and handed it to the stall owner, and was about to take the iron bowl and leave.
"Wait a minute, I want this bowl!"
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly reached Sun Xu's ears, followed by a man in black leather clothes who strode up to the stall owner, grabbed the five hundred yuan that Sun Xu handed to the stall owner, and threw it away.
In front of Sun Xu.
Grabbing treasure?
When Sun Xu saw this, he understood immediately.
Things like this are occasionally encountered in the antique market.
But he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing the first time he came here? Stealing his Immortal Emperor's treasure? And, after he paid the money? (To be continued)
