Two days later.
Wu Yi went to the town school to study.
Lu Feng had pursued a master's degree in his previous life and didn't want to continue his education this time around. However, he couldn't let Wu Yi forgo her studies, especially since he had made a decent amount of money over the years.
Ten days flew by in a blink of an eye.
“System, check the 商城!"
Locked: National Martial Arts Taijiquan (10).
Tomb-Robbing Knowledge (2).
One Jin of Silver (10).
Medicinal Diet Beginner (10).
National Martial Arts Baguazhang (10).
“Medicinal Diet, what is that?”
“Through the rational combination of herbs, the food becomes more delicious and nutritious, aiding in strengthening the body.”
“For now, one national martial art is enough, and the Medicinal Diet has a higher price-performance ratio. I can get it first.”
“System, purchase National Martial Arts Taijiquan!”
“Ding! Purchase successful!”
“Lock Medicinal Diet Beginner!”
“Ding! Lock successful!”
“Receive National Martial Arts Taijiquan!”
“Transmitting…”
Lu Feng felt like he was being enlightened, with Taijiquan principles flooding his mind. As for the techniques, they were not fixed. The core was all about redirecting force.
Lu Feng relaxed his entire body, his bones felt like they were turning into whips.
Force started from his feet, his muscles and bones moved together, transmitting through his legs, waist, shoulders, and reaching his arms, ultimately reaching his palms, like a whip lashing out.
啪！！
The air instantly burst, with circles of shockwaves spreading out like water ripples, shattering countless tree branches five meters away.
“Powerful!”
Lu Feng seized the opportunity to familiarize himself with it.
Three days later.
He had fully mastered Taiji.
Wu Yi came back from vacation.
“Xiao Yi, I'm going on a trip, might be a while before I come back.”
One point a day was too slow, Lu Feng had his eyes on the Wild Man Ravine Golden General's tomb. The main purpose was to get himself used to tomb-raiding.
“Where are you going?”
“First to Beijing, then to Inner Mongolia.”
“So far away, how long will it take?”
“I'm not sure, I'll be back as soon as I can.”
“Then you have to be careful out there.”
“Don't worry.”
…
…
Beijing.
Panjiayuan.
Lu Feng inquired all the way and found Da Jin Ya.
The reason he was looking for Da Jin Ya was because of Hu Ba Yi.
Hu Ba Yi learned the Sixteen Character Yin-Yang Fengshui Secret Techniques, his tomb-finding skills were pretty good, and Lu Feng didn't happen to have this skill himself.
As for Wang Kai Xuan.
He must be subdued!
“I wonder what brings you, sir?”
Da Jin Ya had a gold tooth embedded in his mouth, and he intentionally displayed it while speaking. He had the sly look of a businessman on his face.
Seeing the young man in front of him, Da Jin Ya was surprised. It would be a waste for him to not be a star.
“My name is Lu Feng, I'm here to sell something.”
“Oh? Come in and have a seat.”
“Alright.”
Lu Feng entered Da Jin Ya's shop, there was no one else in the shop.
He walked straight to the sofa in front of the tea chair, took out a Ming Dynasty porcelain bowl and placed it on the table: “Jin Ye, give me an estimate.”
Lu Feng found three antiques in Tianqi Village, the other two had already been sold.
“Lu Ye, this is blue and white porcelain?”
Da Jin Ya picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and examined it carefully.
“The flowers and birds on the porcelain are bold and unrestrained, the lines of the shape are soft and round, the bright blue glaze is thick and moist…”
Da Jin Ya flipped it over to examine the body and the inscription: “Zhengde year, unfortunately, it's not a Ming Dynasty official kiln, otherwise, the price could be several times higher.”
Lu Feng smiled faintly: “Give me a price.”
Da Jin Ya gave a thumbs up, then extended three fingers and pinched them together into an OK gesture: “This much.”
“30,000?”
In this tomb-raiding world, mobile phones and computers had already appeared, and the purchasing power of 30,000 yuan would have to be multiplied by 10 in the 20 years of the previous life. It was a considerable amount of money.
“That's right.”
“Isn't that too low?”
“It's not low.”
“I've been walking around Panjiayuan for a few days and I've asked about the prices of Ming Dynasty porcelain. My flower and bird bowl is not even a Ming Dynasty piece. 30,000 yuan is too low.”
Da Jin Ya was stunned when he heard “Ming Dynasty piece”, then said: “I'll add another five thousand.”
“Give me a satisfactory price, and I'll come to you for things in the future.”
“Since you've said it this way, then I'll offer you this much!” Da Jin Ya extended one palm, “You have to let me make some profit, right?”
“50,000 yuan deal.”
An antique is money only when it's sold. If it doesn't sell, it's just an item.
Da Jin Ya also had to bear some risk. The price couldn't be the same as the market price.
“Great!”
Da Jin Ya slapped his thigh in delight: “Lu Ye, do you have a mobile phone? I'll just transfer the money to you directly. Or do you want cash?”
(The first commercial mobile phone was produced in 1973 by Motorola. This story is a fusion of “Grave Robbers' Chronicle”, the plot starts at the end of the 90s or early 2000s. Don't get hung up on the details.)
“Transfer it to my account.”
“Alright!”
Da Jin Ya made a few operations and transferred 50,000 yuan into Lu Feng's account.
“Did you receive it?”
“I did.”
“Pleasant transaction!”
Da Jin Ya had a smile on his face and extended his hand to shake Lu Feng's.
Lu Feng shook it and let go, but he didn't leave.
A flash of brilliance crossed Da Jin Ya's eyes. He sat down with anticipation in his heart: “Lu Ye, you wouldn't have more goods, would you?”
“I want to inquire about a person.”
“Who?”
“Hu Ba Yi.”
“Hu Ba Yi?”
Da Jin Ya's eyebrows shot up, he scrutinized Lu Feng.
Just yesterday, he brought people to find Hu Ba Yi. He unexpectedly found that Hu Ba Yi might know how to use the techniques of Feng Shui. He treated Hu Ba Yi to a meal.
Just in case Hu Ba Yi had any goods in the future, he would think of Da Jin Ya.
Because Hu Ba Yi's ancestors had been grave robbers, and he also knew Feng Shui.
“I wonder what you're inquiring about him for?”
“I have some connection with him, I want to collaborate with him.” Lu Feng said.
“Collaborate with him?”
Da Jin Ya sat up straight upon hearing this: “I wonder what kind of collaboration it is?”
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly: “You've met Hu Ba Yi?”
Da Jin Ya was taken aback, he gave a thumbs up: “Amazing, only a few words and you know I met Hu Ba Yi. We met just two days ago.”
“It seems you know his ancestors were grave robbers.”
Da Jin Ya was surprised: “His ancestors were tomb raiders and knew how to use Feng Shui. Lu Ye, you wouldn't be acquainted with Hu Ye?”
Lu Feng shook his head: “I know him, but he doesn't know me. Can you introduce me to him?”
“No problem.”
Da Jin Ya immediately agreed: “Lu Ye, when are you planning to meet him?”
“The sooner the better.”
“How about now?”
“Okay.”
