Chapter 006 The Ghost Market's Dirty Items and the Theory of Jade Nurturing
It only took a few seconds.
Only screams echoed through the ghost market.
The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet ghost market.
The onlookers were stunned and gasped in astonishment.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with shock and awe as they looked at Cao Kun.
No one thought of it.
This seemingly young man is known as the "King of Scrap Metal" because he only collects scrap metal on a regular basis.
They actually have such formidable skills.
Lian Jinwantang's five most capable henchmen.
None of them were a match for him.
Next up is Jin Wantang.
Cao Kun rushed over and delivered a flying kick to his abdomen.
A muffled "bang!" was heard.
Jin Wantang felt as if he had run into a wall.
He had several broken ribs.
He flew diagonally towards the open space about ten meters away, like a kite with a broken string.
Cao Kun clapped his hands and slowly withdrew the dragon energy around him!
This time, he held back.
Otherwise, in the wilderness, just kill them outright.
The owner of the previous shop came over, grinning, and asked Big Gold Tooth if he still wanted that item.
Upon hearing this, Big Gold Tooth gazed at the beautiful jade the other person was holding.
This is Hetian mutton fat jade!
Suddenly, Big Gold Tooth's expression changed drastically.
It turned out that half of its body had flown out from the mutton fat jade.
Big Gold Tooth thought he had been seriously injured by Jin Wantang's men.
He even saw hallucinations.
Fortunately, that half of the body disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Big Gold Tooth stared blankly ahead, speechless for a moment.
"Master Cao, do you want it?"
Big Gold Tooth turned to the side and said ingratiatingly.
"don't want."
Cao Kun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Big Gold Tooth also indicated that he didn't need it.
He was beaten half to death by Jin Wantang because of this piece of Hetian mutton fat jade.
Clearly, this is not wealth.
It was a hot potato.
Big Gold Tooth had long since given up on competing with Jin Wantang.
"I...I don't want it anymore either..."
Big Gold Tooth shook his head.
Jin Wantang walked over at this moment.
He sneered inwardly, thinking that Cao Kun was indeed destined to be a scrap collector!
They don't even know what the finest mutton fat jade is.
"I...cough cough...I..."
Jin Wantang's brows furrowed in pain, and he could barely speak.
If he had known it would be like this, why did he even bother fighting?
Originally, Jin Wantang was competing with Da Jinya for that piece of Hetian mutton fat jade.
Cao Kun continued walking deeper into the ghost market.
Big Gold Tooth was worried that Jin Wantang would retaliate against him, so he dared not leave alone.
So he eagerly followed Cao Kun around.
"Master Cao, that...that...that piece of jade seems a bit off..."
"Big Gold Tooth said softly."
"That's right, it's a piece of dirty jade."
Cao Kun changed his tone and said.
Through his golden eyes, he saw a red ghostly shadow inside the Hetian white jade.
It must have been the owner of the mutton fat jade in its previous life!
Upon hearing Cao Kun's words, Big Gold Tooth couldn't help but shudder.
So what I saw earlier was indeed something dirty!
"Master Cao, actually... I... I saw a woman in red..."
Big Gold Tooth said in a trembling voice.
He was thinking of something.
Big Gold Tooth has been in the antique world for over twenty years and has heard many strange rumors.
So-called dirty jade.
That's not to say that jade is dirty because it's covered in dust!
In fact, quite the opposite is true.
The jade is in excellent condition and is made from top-grade jade material.
These are often the owner's favorite items during their lifetime.
After death, the owner's lingering spirit remained on the jade.
Thus, it became a piece of dirty jade!
Because the spirit of the deceased is said to reside in the tomb, it is usually carried by a young, strong man.
The purpose is to use the yang energy and blood of young adults to gradually drive away the ghosts inside.
Commonly known as "nurturing jade"!
It usually takes two to three months.
However, for young adults...
Once you've lost your vital energy and blood, even if you eat a lot of meat and sunbathe excessively, you can't make up for even one percent of the loss.
Therefore, those who take on the work of caring for jade.
They're all short-lived fools; they're all people who live for the moment.
Big Gold Tooth had heard several similar stories at the dinner table.
Unexpectedly, such a bizarre thing happened.
He actually bumped into it with his big gold tooth.
and many more.
Big Gold Tooth realized that Su Mo could see the dirty stuff inside the mutton fat jade.
This brings to mind the legends circulating in the antique world.
Golden Eyes!
This is a divine eye comparable to that of a treasure hunter.
Similarly, they are capable of recognizing any treasure.
"Master Cao, do you have the Golden Eyes?"
Big Gold Tooth asked tentatively.
Cao Kun nodded slightly.
God!
Big Gold Tooth felt that he had really latched onto a powerful figure this time.
Walking, walking.
Big Gold Tooth suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw a girl with short, ear-length hair standing in front of him.
The girl was wearing a light pink polyester shirt.
He had a military green canvas shoulder bag slung across his shoulder, which didn't look like that of someone selling things.
This scared Big Gold Tooth half to death.
"Master Cao...Master Cao..."
Big Gold Tooth was worried, wondering if it might be some kind of dirty stuff.
"Old Jin, if you're scared, just stay here. I'll go."
As he spoke, Cao Kun took three steps at a time and came to the short-haired girl.
"Hello, is there anything you want to sell?"
Cao Kun asked in a friendly manner.
"Oh, right, there's a jade here."
Then, the short-haired girl took out a wooden box from her canvas shoulder bag.
When she opened it, she found a jade pendant inside.
The jade pendant is engraved with a crane spreading its wings, and its texture is delicate.
It has a faint sheen!
Cao Kun activated his Golden Eyes.
Information about the jade pendant clearly appeared before my eyes.
【Item Name: Qing Dynasty Jade Pendant with Crane Design】
[Item Description: Made of Hetian white jade, this piece dates back to the mid-Qing Dynasty and is engraved with a crane motif. It was passed down through generations in a prominent private family.]
[Item Level: Low-grade Magic Item]
[Item Ability: Calms the mind and spirit; wearing it can bring good fortune and ward off evil.]
[Dragon Energy Value: 19 points]
……
It's a pretty nice little gadget.
Cao Kun inquired about the price.
"Is 2000 yuan okay?"
The short-haired girl asked softly.
"Can."
Without saying a word, Cao Kun took out his wallet, counted out two thousand yuan, and handed it over.
The short-haired girl hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
My mother is sick and I urgently need money.
She had no choice but to rush to the ghost market to prepare for the sale.
Unexpectedly, the short-haired girl ran into Cao Kun.
Moreover, the transaction went very smoothly.
Cao Kun returned to Da Jinya's side with the Qing Dynasty jade pendant with crane design.
The latter finally breathed a sigh of relief: "So it was...a person..."
"Alright, Lao Jin, look at the way you're acting."
"Having just had his face broken, he's having a run of bad luck and is bound to attract dirty things."
Cao Kun said casually.
Big Gold Tooth nodded repeatedly.
He traveled the world and met many people from all walks of life.
Among them were fortune tellers who were proficient in divination.
Big Gold Tooth had his fortune and luck told by them.
Several people said that Da Jinya was weak and lacked yang energy, so he should avoid walking at night and was more likely to encounter ghosts!
Now, Big Gold Tooth knows that the fortune teller's words have finally come true.
"Master Cao, this place is very close to my shop, would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Big Gold Tooth extended a warm invitation.
Cao Kun nodded in agreement and followed Big Gold Tooth straight to Jin's Antique Shop.
