… …
On Sunday morning, there were more pedestrians and vehicles on the road. People came and went, and the traffic was rolling like a tide. The Hummer moved at a snail's pace in this crowded traffic.
It was not considered slow, but to Tang Meng, who liked to drive fast, this speed was like a snail.
"Boss, do you want one?" Tang Meng took out a Su Yan and tried to entice Ling Yun. "Boss, do you want one?"
Ling Yun sat in the front passenger seat with five bundles of hundred-dollar bills in his left hand. He smashed them into his right palm one by one. His actions were arrogant and unique. He looked very cocky, very cocky!
"No!" Ling Yun shook his head resolutely. This was not what he wanted.
"What do you think I lack in this house?" Ling Yun asked casually.
"I don't know about the others, but a notebook and eight to ten boxes of condoms are definitely a must, right?" Tang Meng lit up his cigarette and took a deep puff. "I don't know about other things, but a notebook and eight to ten boxes of condoms are definitely necessary, right?"
After saying that, he turned his head and winked at Ling Yun ambiguously, meaning "you know".
Ling Yun was confused. Notebook? Condoms? What the f * ck is this?!
"What condoms?" Ling Yun had an impression of the notebook, so he had a rough idea of what it was. However, he had no idea what a condom was.
Tang Meng thought that Ling Yun was asking the obvious. He thought that if he made things too clear and embarrassed Ling Yun, he might get angry and beat him up. That wouldn't be worth it. Therefore, he gave Ling Yun a look that said, "Do you want to buy it or not?" and focused on driving.
Ling Yun thought for a while and felt that in this society, a notebook was indeed indispensable. Thus, he said to Tang Meng, "Alright, let's buy three notebooks first."
"Wh … What? Three?! "Tang Meng was stunned. The Hummer almost crashed into the car in front.
Ling Yun laughed and said, "What's there to be surprised about? One for me, one for Lingyu, and one for my mother. Don't we need three?"
Tang Meng thought about it and agreed. Ling Yun could not possibly use a laptop himself and leave Auntie and Lingyu with nothing, right? That's right! He should buy three!
"What brand are you going to buy? Should we give Lingyu a call and ask her what brand she likes? "
Ling Yun replied casually, "It doesn't matter. As long as you think it's cheap and good. My requirements are that it's easy to use and durable. As for the rest, it's up to you."
Tang Meng nodded his head and said, "Then let's buy the same as mine. It's five to six thousand dollars, and the configuration is pretty good too. Let's go!"
The two of them quickly bought three laptops. Tang Meng was acquainted with the shop owner, so he bought three laptops at one go. The shop owner even happily gave them a discount, spending a total of $15,000 for the three laptops.
After buying the computer, Ling Yun saw that the five bundles of hundred-dollar bills in his hand had become three bundles. He thought to himself that the money was really not enough. In just one morning, he had spent another twenty thousand dollars.
"Boss, where are we going next?" Tang Meng asked as he started up the Hummer.
Ling Yun originally wanted to buy the nails and needles for self-defense, the weasel bristle brush, cinnabar, and talisman paper in one go. However, he knew that Tang Meng would definitely make a fuss and ask all sorts of questions. Thus, he decided to buy those things himself.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "If I want to buy some jade stones or jade artifacts, do you know where to buy them?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Meng's eyes lit up the moment he heard this. "Boss, you've asked the right person! Our Qingshui City has a very famous antique trading market. Not just jade artifacts, there are all sorts of antiques, paintings, jewelry, jade, books, stamps, pets, flowers, and birds. Even if you want to buy some consecrated artifacts, you can buy them there! "
Ling Yun was actually inspired by the fact that the Spiritual Jade Box could store spiritual energy. He wanted to try and see if he could get his hands on jade stones that could store spiritual energy. Thus, he was not the least bit interested in the antiques, paintings, books, and stamps that Tang Meng mentioned. However, when he heard Tang Meng say the words "consecrated artifacts", his calm face turned serious. His dark pupils constricted!
"A consecrated magical artifact?!" Ling Yun repeated.
Tang Meng glanced at Ling Yun as if he was looking at an idiot. "Yes, isn't there a Lingjue Temple in our Qingshui City? The old monks there are very famous for their consecration. It is said that any artifacts that have been consecrated by them can be used to pray for longevity and ward off evil spirits! "
"Oh … I see …" Ling Yun nodded his head in realization. "How do you know so much about this place?"
Tang Meng smiled proudly. Flipping his long hair, he said, "Boss, don't forget my nickname, Little Gambling God! Our Qingshui City's antique market has exciting stone gambling, cockfighting, and the like every week … "
Then, he deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Every time, there will be a dealer opening a bet. Whenever I'm free, I'll go and take a look. If I'm right, I'll place a thousand or eight hundred …"
"Also, my grandfather is an antique enthusiast. Now that he's retired, he would go there whenever he's free. Two years ago, he often brought me there …"
"Then why doesn't he bring you anymore?"
Tang Meng scratched his head awkwardly. "On the fifteenth of January this year, he went to the antique market and spent thirty thousand yuan to buy something. At first, he was full of confidence. In the end, after an expert's appraisal, it turned out to be a worthless imitation. Losing money was a small matter, but losing face in front of his old comrades was a big deal. Therefore, he doesn't like to go anymore. Furthermore, I'm going to take my college entrance exams soon. Even if he goes occasionally, he doesn't bring me anymore …"
At this point, Tang Meng suddenly thought of something. "Boss, didn't you watch the treasure appraisal program 'Walking into Qingshui' last September? That program was held in our Qingshui City's antique market. They appraised two pieces of Yuan Dynasty porcelain … "As he finished speaking, he shook his head and clicked his tongue. His face was full of envy and jealousy.
After a while, Tang Meng lit up another cigarette and said seriously to Ling Yun, "Boss, if you want to buy jade for Cao … erm, if you want to buy jade for someone, I suggest you go to an authentic jewelry store. Even though you won't be able to pick up the leftovers there, at least you won't be cheated, right?"
Tang Meng was now even more convinced that Ling Yun wanted to rent a house and buy jade because he wanted to win Cao Shanshan's heart!
Ling Yun had a general understanding of the Qingshui Antique Market's situation. He couldn't help but be secretly happy. It didn't matter to him whether the jades were expensive or not. However, since there were so many jades and jewels there, there would definitely be one or two with spiritual energy, right?
Based on his ability to absorb spiritual energy, if he found a treasure with spiritual energy, he would buy it if he could afford it. Even if he couldn't afford it, he could still find a way to absorb the spiritual energy from it. That should be easy, right?
Thinking of this, Ling Yun's mouth curled into a shameless smile. He nodded and said, "Let's go, bring me there!"
Seeing that Ling Yun wasn't listening to him, Tang Meng could only smile bitterly. "Alright, but Boss, you have to control your hands. You can only look and not buy! Out of a hundred items, there might not even be one that's real. If we spend thirty thousand dollars on it, we'll both be broke! "
Qingshui City Antique Market was located in the west of Qingshui Lake. It was about two kilometers away from Qingshui Lake and a little more than three kilometers away from Qingxi Villa District.
This Antique Market was indeed huge. Two horizontal and two vertical streets were spread out in a 'jing' shape. Shops and stalls were lined up one after another. It was said to be one of the five biggest Antique Market in China.
Not only was this a gathering place for antique collectors in Qingshui City, but there were also collectors from all over the country who came here to pick up the leftovers and exchange their experiences.
Today was Sunday. Before Ling Yun and Tang Meng reached the Antique Market, the car was already stuck in the crowd. Tang Meng had no choice but to find a place to park the car.
The moment Ling Yun got out of the car, he felt that the spiritual energy here was especially abundant. It was at least ten times denser than the spiritual energy in Qingxi Villa District. Now that he was at the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Level 2, his body could already absorb this spiritual energy directly!
Furthermore, this was only the periphery of the Antique Market. As for the inside, the spiritual energy was probably even more abundant!
I was right to come! This was indeed the best place for physique tempering!
Ling Yun's eyes shone brightly. He took a deep breath and felt the spiritual energy enter his body. All thirty-six thousand pores on his body felt comfortable!
Needless to say, there was definitely a treasure here that he needed. Not only was there, it seemed like there was a lot of it!
"Boss, this is the place. This whole area is filled with it! Look at these people, there are so many of them every day. It's so lively! "
Tang Meng said as he pointed to the surging crowd after parking the car and standing beside Ling Yun.
"Boss, should we go in and take a look?"
Even though Tang Meng tried to dissuade Ling Yun from coming here, he was the first to lose his cool. This was because he knew that every Sunday morning, the top jade experts of Qingshui Antiques would come to the famous "Yu Ding Xuan" of the Antique Market to gamble on stones. The scene was definitely exciting.
Ling Yun shook his head slowly. Today, he was only here to see if his idea was feasible. He had no intention of taking action immediately.
As long as he knew that there was such a place in Qingshui City, he could come whenever he wanted in the future. There was no rush.
"Let's go back!"
Ling Yun stood there quietly for four to five minutes. After casually looking around, he suggested to leave.
"Really, Boss? Since we're already here, why don't we go in and have some fun? Don't you still want to buy jade for Cao … Cao? "
Tang Meng saw that Ling Yun wanted to leave just like that.
Ling Yun laughed and said, "I'm just here to take a look. Who said we're here to buy jade? Lingyu is still waiting for us at home. This place is not going anywhere. We can come back anytime in the future. Let's go! "
After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked away without the slightest bit of reluctance.
Tang Meng had no choice but to follow Ling Yun back to where he parked the car. Reluctantly, he drove away.
"Boss, you're really something. It's not easy for you to come here. Why don't you go in and have a look …"
On the way back, Tang Meng kept complaining.
Ling Yun lectured him, "When I came out, I promised to go home for lunch. Don't tell me you want my mother and Lingyu to wait for me at home?"
"Go back to the rented house and put down a computer. Then, go straight home!"
Even though Ling Yun was lecturing Tang Meng, he was secretly thinking, Antique Market? Stone gambling? That's interesting …
