Chapter Five: The True Dharma Vessel
"What? You've taken a liking to this jade pendant?"
The stall owner saw Wang Ke holding a jade pendant in his hand and smiled to ask.
"It looks good, I want to buy it for my nephew as a small toy. Boss, give me a price."
Wang Ke said lies without blushing, coming out to mix and thicken skin.
"A fixed price, five hundred."
The boss said firmly.
"Boss, you're too ruthless! You dare to ask for 500 yuan just for the quality of this jade?! Believe it or not, I can buy a good jade pendant for 50 yuan at another antique stall."
Wang Ke didn't expect the stall owner to be so black-hearted. He even had the nerve to say that the price was absolutely fair at first!
He couldn't believe the stall owner thought this jade pendant was genuine, or else he wouldn't have placed it in such an inconspicuous position.
"How much do you want to give?"
The stall owner asked, at this time the number of people on Antique Street began to increase, and more and more people came to watch antiques in front of the stalls, but didn't want to waste time on this broken jade Guanyin.
"Thirty yuan."
Wang Ke directly killed more than a dozen times the price, without showing any mercy.
"Thirty? Young brother, don't haggle like that. Alright, I won't waste words with you either. One hundred yuan, take it or leave it."
The stall owner's tone became more determined and his voice was somewhat anxious. He had already spotted a big customer and was eager to go up and chat him up.
One hundred?
Wang Ke hesitated for a moment, one hundred yuan to directly take down this invaluable jade pendant was absolutely worth it, but he only had nine hundred yuan on him in total, and still needed to eat and pay rent, so the less he spent the better.
"Boss, how much is this rosary?"
At this moment, a middle-aged fat woman with gold and silver makeup and holding a rosary shouted to the stall owner.
One thousand.
The stall owner replied that he knew a foolish customer had arrived, so he quickly turned around and whispered to Xiaoyan Wang: "Fifty yuan, the lowest price!"
Looking at the stall owner's eyes, Wang Ke knew this was the lowest price. He directly took out the only 50 yuan he had brought with him when he went out and bought the jade pendant.
The moment the jade pendant reached his hand, Wang Ke almost jumped up in excitement.
Finally got it!
He picked it up regardless of whether it was a legal weapon or not!
Bidding farewell to the stall owner, Wang Ke walked towards Shang Bao Xuan, the largest Feng Shui artifact shop on this antique street. Shang Bao Xuan was famous for its Feng Shui master who could identify artifacts. He wanted to ask if this item was an artifact. If it was, his future life would be completely happy and prosperous. If not, he could sell it as an antique and live a comfortable life.
Just a few steps away, Wang Ke felt his head spinning and immediately understood that the aftereffect of overusing his true energy had arrived. He must hurry to cultivate and replenish it back.
He quickly glanced around and noticed a small hill behind the antique street, he immediately ran towards the small hill.
He found a secluded spot, Wang Ke crossed his legs, adjusted his breathing, and slowly entered a meditative state. An hour later, Wang Ke slowly stood up, stretching his waist with a long yawn.
After practicing, he woke up refreshed and his spirit was doubled. The original discomfort completely disappeared without a trace, making him want to punch again.
On the mountain, Wang Ke found a huge inclined plane with a 70-degree angle of smooth rock wall, and he jumped up, standing steadily on it without any tendency to slip down.
His feet rooted to the ground, he grasped the stone wall tightly, his upper body already stretched out in a frame.
"Longxiang" has both true energy cultivation methods and matching moves, these moves can only exert a powerful effect under the coordination of true energy. However, he generally doesn't need to use these moves, as he hasn't met anyone who can make him reveal his true abilities yet.
Act naturally and move freely.
Wang Ke didn't follow a fixed routine or posture, he practiced wherever he thought of, his feet constantly moving, yet firmly grasping the stone wall like roots, not slipping, not budging.
If a master saw Wang Ke's movements, he would be amazed, because each movement seemed to have no connection, but the inner strength was not changed at all.
In short, all actions boil down to one and the same principle!
Like a circle, from where it comes and goes, endless.
With a set of movements, Wang Ke couldn't help but stand on the stone wall, looking up at the sky and letting out a long roar. His true energy surged forth, startling a flock of birds in the mountain forest into flight.
He leaped down from the stone wall, just as he was about to leave, but found a sixty-year-old man in white clothes and horse jacket with an air of Taoist elegance smiling at him not far away.
He walked towards the old man with a slight look of puzzlement.
Before he could even open his mouth, the old man had already spoken up.
"Little brother, your boxing makes people feel delightful and enjoyable. The style is magnificent and unrestrained, not limited by objects. Are you practicing internal school boxing?"
Wang Ke didn't know whether true energy belonged to internal school boxing or not, and couldn't find any other way to explain it, so he just nodded his head in agreement with the old man.
"Haha, so young and yet you've reached such a high level in internal martial arts, that's impressive!"
The old man smiled slightly and pointed at the jade pendant hanging from Wang Ke's waist, saying: "May I take a look at this jade pendant?"
Wang Ke wasn't afraid that the old man was a bad person, and even if he was, Wang Ke wouldn't be afraid. But what if he was a master who knew the law? It would be perfect for him to verify it himself, so he took down the jade pendant he had hastily hung up earlier and handed it over to the old man.
The old man took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, and when he saw the silk work on the back of the jade pendant, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He then returned the jade pendant to Wang Ke and smiled as he said: "Not bad, it's an antique from the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty, also a good ritual object, is it newly bought?"
Is this really a magic tool?
Upon hearing this, Wang Ke's heart was filled with great joy. He had not expected that it would really be a treasure, and that he truly possessed the extraordinary ability to see treasures. From now on, wouldn't the antique street be his domain?
At this thought, Wang Ke seemed to have already seen money falling from the sky.
"Yeah, I bought it from a street vendor an hour ago for 50 bucks."
Wang Ke composed himself and replied truthfully, he had already determined that the old man was definitely not an ordinary person, at least a master of Feng Shui, an ordinary person would not be so certain and casual about saying that an antique is a ritual object, and seeing the ritual object without being surprised, let alone directly affirming that the jade pendant was from the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty. To know that he himself had only determined it to be from the Ming dynasty.
"Not bad eyesight, picked up a not small leak, this Pixiu jade pendant is worth at least 100,000. Did you learn about Feng Shui ritual objects before? Who's your master?"
The old man nodded his head in approval and said, seemingly very interested in Wang Ke.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Wang Ke was extremely surprised and delighted in his heart. He had not expected that this small Pixiu jade pendant would be worth 100,000 yuan. He had originally thought it would be good if it were worth 10,000 yuan. Seeing that the artifact was indeed valuable.
Upon hearing the old man's question, Wang Ke smiled wryly and said: "I haven't studied Feng Shui or any other esoteric knowledge, nor do I have a master."
"Oh?"
The old man was somewhat surprised: "You haven't had a master and you haven't learned before, but at such a young age, you can pick up the leak with one move. It seems that you are not simple."
"Elder, you're overpraising me, I'm just lucky. My name is Wang Ke, may I ask for your esteemed name?"
Wang Ke respectfully said, at this time he was completely certain that the old man was no ordinary person.
"Old Zhao Menfeng has a small shop in Changji City, the provincial capital. If you're interested in legal instruments in the future, come find me. Here's my address and phone number."
Zhao Menfeng took out a pen from his pocket, randomly found a complete leaf on the ground, wrote down his address and phone number, and handed it to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke respectfully accepted the leaf and carefully put it in his pocket. He didn't understand Feng Shui artifacts at all now, and with his special ability, he didn't need to know much about them either, so for now, there was no need to go find the old man to ask for guidance, but maybe later on, it would come in handy.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before the old man bid farewell.
Wang Ke gazed at the old man's back, clenched his fist around the leaves in his pocket, and felt that he would meet the old man again.
Without staying on the mountain for too long, Wang Ke brought the Qilin jade pendant down the mountain and walked towards the law enforcement store. Since they all knew it was a law enforcement tool and knew the price, they just needed to exchange money, as the law enforcement tool was of no use to him.
Zhou Bapi's Treasure Hall also collects artifacts, but he was not willing to let Zhou Bapi make a profit for nothing, so he went to the largest artifact shop, Shangbao Xuan.
Just as Wang Ke went to sell the Pixiu jade pendant, the old man he had just bumped into walked into the Treasure Hall.
"Mr. Zhao, you've arrived! I, Little Zhou, have been waiting for a long time. Please come up."
Zhou Bapi immediately came up with a flattering expression on his face.
Zhao nodded slightly and walked straight towards the stairs.
Zhou Bopi was well aware that Zhao Menfeng did not want to deal with him, but when he was young, he had helped him once, and he had promised to help him once in return. This time, he came to fulfill the promise he made back then.
He doesn't care whether Zhao Menfeng is willing or not to deal with him, the only promise he has made he will certainly make good use of it once, realizing value maximization has always been his motto. Recently, he found a shocking great treasure, if it's true, placing it in the Treasure Hall will definitely make his business prosperous and become the richest person on this street.
However, his ability to identify the artifact was limited, and he didn't want others on this street to know about it. Torn between options, he thought of Zhao Menfeng, a top-notch Feng Shui master and artifact expert in the country. With him identifying it, the artifact would definitely not escape his discerning eye.
Although opportunities are rare, good steel is used on the blade, and he has no choice but to accept it.
Two people were about to go upstairs when Zhao Menfeng suddenly stopped at the counter, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at the incredibly clear fist print on the counter.
"This is..."
This is absolutely not processed, it wouldn't be so clear if it were!
Could it be...
Thinking of another possibility, Zhao Menfeng was also frightened by his own idea, and his eyes revealed a color of surprise.
Following Zhao Mengfu's gaze, he saw the giant fist print on Zhou Bo's skin and thought of Wang Ke's ferocious eyes at that time, couldn't help but tremble slightly, hastily shook his head to clear the terrifying memory from his mind, and replied: "This was made by someone punching it this morning."
He wouldn't have believed it even if I had told him, but he saw it with his own eyes and had no choice but to believe it, and had to say something.
"By whom?"
Zhao Men asked in shock.
It was indeed beaten out by someone, and it was a punch!
"One of my former despicable colleagues, named Wang Ke, was fired by me this morning."
Zhou Bopi said with a scowl, thinking of his 100,000 yuan worth of porcelain that was gone for nothing made him heartbroken.
Wang Ke?
A sunny and handsome face immediately appeared in Zhao Menfeng's mind.
Haha, interesting! I didn't expect that this kid is more formidable than I thought.
"Let's go."
Zhao Menfeng did not entangle himself too much in this matter, but the young man's shadow had already left a deep impression on his mind.
Zhou Bapi quickly followed up
Upon arriving at the VIP room upstairs, Zhou Bo Pi carefully took out a dragon turtle the size of a human head from the safe.
The dragon turtle has an extraordinary momentum, with its head held high towards the sky, shouting a copper coin in its mouth, and stepping on a golden ingot under its feet. Its whole body is golden yellow, adding to its majestic aura.
Zhao Menfeng saw the dragon turtle and couldn't help but stand up, apparently he didn't expect to see such a dragon turtle either.
Seeing Zhao Mengfeng's expression, Zhou Bopi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. The more abnormal the performance, the greater the possibility that this is indeed a treasure. After all, the dragon and turtle represent wealth, and it will definitely make his business prosperous, earning him a fortune.
Zhao Menfeng moved the dragon turtle on the tea table in front of him and observed it carefully.
Zhou Bopi sat quietly beside him, anxiously waiting.
Half a sound, Zhao Men Feng opened his eyes wide and slowly closed them again.
At this sight, Zhou Bo's heart was lifted up and he anxiously asked: "Old Zhao, how is it?"
Tomorrow it will enter the new book list, everyone with red votes hurry up and vote, classmates who haven't collected it yet hurry up and collect it.
