Having witnessed Lu Feng's "Sleeve Universe" ability firsthand, Hu Ba Yi, Wang Pang Zi, and Ying Zi all regarded him as a true martial arts expert!
Compared to kicking the bear to death, the prairie ground sloth, and smashing the red ghoul to death, the Sleeve Universe seemed ordinary.
The three of them grew increasingly respectful towards Lu Feng.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi's eyes flickered with the idea of following Lu Feng to rob tombs.
After returning to the old village head's house, Lu Feng followed Ying Zi to the town and got some cash, then purchased herbs from nearby villages.
It took three days and covered six villages.
He collected precious herbs like Dendrobium nobile, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Fo-ti, Gastrodia elata, and Cistanche deserticola, including a seventy-year-old wild ginseng.
"So cheap."
Lu Feng sighed.
These were herbs bought from the source. If he bought them individually at a pharmacy, the price would be at least seven or eight times higher. According to the prices in his previous life, it would probably cost more than four million!
"Ying Zi, go back and pack your bags. We'll leave tomorrow."
"Okay."
Ying Zi was beaming with excitement.
…
…
Beijing.
Lu Feng stepped out of the train station.
Behind him were Ying Zi, Hu Ba Yi, and Wang Pang Zi.
"Finally back!"
Wang Pang Zi spread his arms and shouted happily, attracting the glare of passersby.
Ying Zi followed closely behind Lu Feng, appearing a little nervous.
The furthest she had ever been was the town, and she was too unfamiliar with Beijing.
"Brother Lu, as your hosts, we should treat you well. Don't refuse."
"No problem."
Lu Feng smiled: "But we should sell the goods first."
"Right, right."
Wang Pang Zi raised both hands in agreement.
"Should we go find Da Jin Ya?"
"Let's go find him first."
Lu Feng nodded, and the group headed straight for Panjia Yuan.
"Big Brother Feng, who is this Da Jin Ya?" Ying Zi asked.
"He's an antique dealer. He bought a jade piece from Wang Pang Zi before. Later, Wang Pang Zi and Hu Ba Yi wanted to take it back and argued with him."
"They almost got beaten up by Da Jin Ya's people, but Da Jin Ya realized that Hu Ba Yi understood Feng Shui and wasn't ordinary, so he didn't make a fuss and became friends with him."
"They ended up becoming friends after a fight."
Hu Ba Yi's face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.
Amidst their conversation, they arrived at Panjia Yuan.
Lu Feng first found a few boxes and packed a Song Dynasty porcelain, five Qing Dynasty porcelain vases (including Ying Zi's), a small Song Dynasty porcelain bottle, and a gold mask.
Hu Ba Yi followed suit, and then they set out to find Da Jin Ya.
"Master Lu, Master Hu, Master Pang, you're finally back." Da Jin Ya greeted them with a smile, "Who is this?"
"This is Ying Zi, she came with us to sell goods."
Hu Ba Yi pulled Da Jin Ya aside and whispered, "Brother Lu is a real martial arts expert, so the price has to be fair."
"Martial arts expert?"
Da Jin Ya was taken aback.
He knew that Lu Feng had precognitive dreams, and Hu Ba Yi didn't need to mention it specifically.
Could it be other abilities?
For a Tomb Raider to praise him like that, Lu Feng must have real skills.
"Don't worry, the price will be fair."
Da Jin Ya grinned, warmly saying to Lu Feng and Ying Zi: "Master Lu, Ying Zi, let's go to the back room."
The five of them went to the back room.
"Master Lu, Master Hu, Master Pang, what good things did you find this time? Let me take a look."
Wang Pang Zi was impatient and eagerly took out the wrapped jade, carefully placing it on the table: "Old Master Jin, take a look!"
Da Jin Ya picked up the jade and examined it: "The material of this jade isn't top-notch, but the moth is interesting. This represents the general's lifetime achievements..."
"Just tell me how much it's worth."
Wang Pang Zi interrupted.
"This pair is worth 100,000."
"How much? 100,000?!"
Wang Pang Zi's jaw dropped.
They set up a stall in Beijing and did some small business, but they couldn't even earn 10,000 a year. This pair of jade was equivalent to their income from setting up a stall for ten years!
Hu Ba Yi also didn't expect it to sell for so much.
Ying Zi was stunned, secretly hoping that her Song Dynasty bottle would sell for a lot.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!"
Wang Pang Zi exclaimed.
"We agree with your price."
Hu Ba Yi agreed as well.
The currency now was different from the past. The purchasing power of the same amount of money now was ten times higher than in the past. 100,000 was equivalent to a million in the future!
"Anything else? Show me."
Da Jin Ya smiled.
"Two more porcelain pieces, take a look."
Wang Pang Zi placed the Song Dynasty bottle in a box on the table, his heart pounding faster than before: "Brother Lu said it's a Song Dynasty porcelain, very valuable."
Da Jin Ya's eyes lit up when he saw the porcelain bottle, immediately picking it up and examining it carefully: "Good stuff, this is really good stuff."
"These are both Song Dynasty Ge ware, extremely well-preserved..." Da Jin Ya was increasingly delighted, "These two pieces together are worth more than the jade."
"How much?"
"Each one sells for 400,000 individually. If you sell them together, it's 1 million and above!"
"How much?"
Hu Ba Yi's mouth hung open, almost dislocating.
One million!
He and Pang Zi would each get 500,000!
In this era where the average annual income was only 3,000, what did 500,000 mean?
He never thought he would have so much money in his life!
Sudden wealth!
Unbelievable!
Too unbelievable!
"So much?"
Wang Pang Zi jumped with joy: "Old Hu, we're rich!"
"That's an understatement. In my opinion, these two porcelain bottles aren't something ordinary people can afford. Only royal families and nobles can use them, so their value is naturally different."
Da Jin Ya was also excited: "Let me see the rest... These two are Qing Dynasty vases. I'll give you 150,000 for the two together."
Knowing that Wang Pang Zi was concerned about the price, Da Jin Ya didn't say anything more.
"Old Master Jin, take a look at these."
Lu Feng pointed to the box he brought.
"Two more?"
Da Jin Ya opened the small box, saw the small Song Dynasty bottle, and exclaimed in surprise: "This pair of porcelain bottles is similar to the previous ones, worth 1 million and above."
"Ying Zi? Ying Zi, what's wrong with you?"
Ying Zi only earned a thousand or two a year in the village. It was no wonder she couldn't stay calm when suddenly told that she would have 500,000.
