Chapter 1981: The antique market
âI donât know âŠâ Han Jingjing shook her head in confusion.âDo you know, Lin Yi bro?â
âI donât know,â Lin Yi said faintly. He couldnât tell a student heâd only known for a few days that he had Zhang Lijuâs notes, so he asked,âIf you donât know, why would you buy a medicinal cauldron?â
âI can study it!â Han Jingjing said,âalso, Iâve found a lot of information about alchemists on the internet. I want to do some research first!â Besides, I often go to the antique market, so maybe I can find a book on the cultivation method of an Alchemist âŠâ
âIf thatâs the case, then you can do your research âŠâ Lin Yi didnât say anything. It seemed that han Jingjing had heard about alchemy from somewhere and was fascinated by it. She started researching alchemy, but she just didnât know how to do it.
Of course, if it was so easy for her to become an Alchemist, then it would really be strange.
At that thought, Lin Yi put his suspicions aside. Not many normal people knew about practitioners and refiners, but those rich people who had hired practitioners as bodyguards would know about them. As for refiners, they would definitely know.
Therefore, it was normal for a rich girl like han Jingjing to have a cultivator as a bodyguard. It was not difficult to find out about the existence of alchemy Masters from the bodyguardâs mouth. It was just that she seemed to be very obsessed with it, and she had even applied for a related major in University.
âEn, en!â âLin Yi bro, you donât like refining?â Han Jing Jing nodded heavily.
âI donât know how to refine it even if I like it.â Lin Yi said faintly.
âThen when Jingjing learns how to make pills, she can teach Lin Yi bro, and we can do dual practitioning together!â Han Jing Jing said.
âPfft ⊠What? Dual cultivation?â Lin Yi coughed a couple of times-heâd been scared out of his wits.
âThatâs right, isnât cultivating and refining pills together a dual cultivation?â Han Jing Jing looked at Lin Yi, confused.
ââŠAlright, then once youâve learned it, Iâll do dual cultivation with you.â Lin Yi didnât want to waste time explaining to Jingjing-this girl mustâve been studying medicine and making elixirs from a young age, and sheâd probably ask why if he explained too much to her.
âEn, en, thatâs great! Then, Lin Yi bro, itâs a deal!â Han Jingjing stretched out her little finger.
âWhy?â Lin Yi frowned.
âPinky swear!â âOnly a pinky promise can guarantee that youâre not lying âŠâ Han Jingjing said.
âAlright, alright, letâs pull the hook, alright!â Lin Yi saw that han Jingjing was going to go on and on, so he quickly interrupted her and beckoned her with his pinky. His mission was completed.
âYou canât change your mind for a hundred years!â Han Jing Jing said.
âNo, can we go now?â Lin Yi said helplessly as he started the car.
âNo, arenât we going to the antique market now? I need to study how to make pills, so I need a cauldron. How am I supposed to teach you if I donât study? Lin Yi bro, youâre going to support me, right?â Han Jingjing looked at Lin Yi pitifully, âWeâve already made a promise!â
Lin Yi looked at the time and saw that there was still some time before school ended. He nodded,âAlright, then letâs just walk around.â
Donghaiâs antique market was located near the East Heaven Gate, and Lin Yi had never been there before. He could only rely on the GPS to lead him to one of the biggest antique markets in the entire province!
Because Donghai was a provincial city, the antique market in Donghai was much bigger than other cities. Lin Yi parked his car in the parking lot of the antique market and was asked for a parking fee of twenty Kuai. Lin Yi felt that he was being cheated!
This antique was really for the rich. Even the parking fee was more expensive than other places!
Fortunately, Lin Yi didnât care about the money. After parking the car, he walked into the antique market with han Jingjing.
The antique market was huge. There were all kinds of things sold in it. There were all kinds of imitations and real ones. It was hard to buy the real ones unless you were an expert.
It was just that Lin Yi wasnât interested in buying antiques. There were so many treasures in the tomb, but he didnât take a single one with him, let alone spending money on these things.
The item that Han Jing Jing wanted to buy was a medicinal cauldron. There werenât many of such items, and one usually had to rely on luck. However, there were many imitations. It was just that the materials used for these items were not much different from the real ones. They were either made of cast iron or made of pure copper. This was enough for a junior Alchemist.
The two came with a purpose. Lin Yi was just looking around, while han Jingjing was looking for medicinal cauldrons. The two walked through half the market before they finally found a stall that sold medicinal cauldrons.
âHow much are you selling this cauldron for?â Han Jing Jing asked as she picked up a cast iron cauldron that looked similar.
âThis was once used by the nation-protecting heavenly master of the Ming Dynasty, priest Zhang âŠâ The seller looked at han Jingjingâs dress and knew that she was a rich girl. She probably didnât know anything about antiques, so he started to Bluff her.
âLin Yi bro, is this guy stupid? I asked him how much he wanted to sell it for, why did he say so many strange things?â Han Jing Jing said as she put down the cauldron.
âEh? Little girl, how can you say that? who are you calling an idiot?â When the stall owner heard han Jingjing scold him, he was a little unhappy.
âLin Yi bro, this guyâs not only stupid, he doesnât know his place either. The things heâs selling are definitely not good, letâs go check out the other houses.â Han Jingjing turned around and prepared to leave.
âWait, donât go. Iâm just introducing you to the origin of the medicinal cauldron. If you donât want to hear it, letâs talk about the price âŠâ The stall owner saw that han Jingjing was about to leave and immediately became a little anxious. He quickly called out to her.
âLin Yi bro, letâs go.â Han Jing Jing was determined to leave.
Helpless, Lin Yi turned around and followed âŠ
However, the two of them had not gone far when two burly men blocked their way.
âWhat are you guys doing?â Han Jing Jing looked at the two men in front of her warily.
âYou want to leave after breaking the medicinal cauldron? It wonât be that easy!â One of the burly men said coldly.
They were the gangsters in this area. The merchants in the antique market paid them protection fees, so they naturally helped these people solve some problems. It was a win-win situation.
The stall owner was already pissed off after getting scolded by han Jingjing, and now that he lost his business, he was even more pissed off. He found two punks to teach Lin Yi and han Jingjing a lesson!
From the stall ownerâs point of view, the two of them were dressed like students, and han Jingjing was dressed in branded goods. One look and he could tell that she was rich. It was naturally not difficult to squeeze some money out of them!
