Chapter III Ghost Market

The next day, Yang Bo woke up early, folded up the simple bed, washed up, locked the door, and walked out.

It was still dark and gloomy. It was only at three in the morning, and Yang Bo had already crushed the moonlight in his steps and walked into an alley with the flashlight in his hand. He walked for a few steps, when he heard the bustling sounds of people coming from inside.

In the past, Yang Bo would frequently look around Ghost Market, but at that time, he did not have any money on hand, so naturally he did not buy anything. This time, he took out the remaining 200 + Yuan for this month!

Success or failure, if he had lied to Ye Xiao, there was nothing to say!

For his father, he was going to risk it all!

Although he had already made his decision, Yang Bo still searched everywhere carefully. There were a lot of items in the Ghost Market, including porcelain, paintings, gold, silver, jade, Qin, Han, Song, and stone. He could even find the Spring and Autumn Battle Country's heavy cauldron that was already banned from auctioning here.

Yang Bo knew that his own knowledge was shallow, and many objects could not be identified as valuable, so he became more cautious.

He walked over to the stalls one by one and picked them up. He didn't use his Discipline that easily because he wasn't sure how long he could use it for. But it shouldn't take too long.

Therefore, he decided to change his strategy!

Yang Bo stood up, and started searching in all directions. Very quickly, he found a target: Curator Qu!

Qu Yuanyang was a Assistant Curator of the Jin'ling Museum who had come to Gu De Zhai two to three times, thus Yang Bo had some impression of him.

Yang Bo stared at the figure of Curator Qu and moved quickly, following closely behind. He wanted to use a fixed tactic, using Curator Qu's movements to find the possible real items, and then use his ability to appraise them. This way, he could save himself the time to use his supernatural ability.

It was his first time following someone, but Yang Bo still appeared to be unfamiliar with it. While taking care of him, he was also afraid that he would miss something, so he pretended to pick up some small items while at the same time paying attention to Curator Qu's movements.

Curator Qu picked a snuff bottle. After looking for a long time, he put it down and went to look at a brush wash.

If he wasted even a little, he would have to wait until next month. He could not afford to wait, as there was still hope for the early treatment of liver cancer, and with every day that he dragged on, it would extinguish a sliver of his hope.

Very quickly, Yang Bo noticed that the Curator Qu was holding onto a fishbasket like porcelain and looked at it for a long time, as if he was hesitating.

Yang Bo's heart moved, he followed suit and went closer, closer to them. He squinted his eyes, and wisps of light seeped out from the surrounding porcelain, these lights were especially prominent in the night, the light gradually gathered at the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase's neck, the more light gathered, and quickly condensed into a halo!

Yang Bo looked over, and was shocked, this halo was actually thicker than the halo of the Seven Treasures Light Pearl, which meant that this Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase was in front of the beam of light!

After being overjoyed and worried, Yang Bo was really afraid that the Curator Qu would want to buy it!

Standing beside the Curator Qu, Yang Bo didn't even dare to turn his head to look, he only stared at the small piece of jade in front of him. Only when the Curator Qu didn't make a sound and turned around to leave, did Yang Bo finally heave a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the porcelain.

The shape of the porcelain was the shape of a fish basket, it was a light purple colored glaze, and it looked like a defective product with an uneven glaze. However, Yang Bo had not learned this in vain these past two years, so he naturally understood that this was imitating the Song Dynasty kiln porcelain, and the Qing Dynasty's Jun kiln porcelain was the most famous one among the younger generation.

Yang Bo looked up at the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this?"

The stall owner was in his thirties, with a small beard growing on his chin and a twinkle in his eyes. "Little brother, do you know who was the one who looked at the porcelain before you?"

Yang Bo shook his head, "Who is that?"

The stall owner smiled, "Don't you know him? That is the Curator Qu from the Jin'ling Museum! "

Yang Bo seemed to not understand: "Oh, really? How much is this porcelain sold for? "

The stall owner stared at Yang Bo, as if he wanted to find a clue from him, "Curator Qu has seen it, of course the price of the porcelain has to rise, the original price was 20,000, and it is now worth 40,000!"

Yang Bo frowned, although he had already expected it, but he never expected it to be so expensive, but it was most likely a fake price!

"Fifty!" Yang Bo haggled.

"Little brother, this price is a bit too harsh!" The vendor said.

Yang Bo shook his head, and said casually: "Boss, it's not like I came here the whole day, my house is newly renovated, this old man wants me to come and find two pieces of furniture, I'll give you a full price!"

The booth owner paused for a moment. "800!"

Yang Bo was overjoyed, he knew that this was the best chance, "One hundred pieces, not too much!"

The booth owner lamented, "This is just a small business, and I can't earn much money. Today is my first time opening a store, five hundred yuan!"

Yang Bo touched his pocket, how could he have that much money, he could only turn around and say: "It's still too expensive, I'll go look around!"

Finished speaking, Yang Bo turned around and was about to leave, but his heart suddenly raised. He was determined to get this Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase, and he was afraid that he had overplayed himself!

He silently counted three times in his heart. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the voice of the vendor, "Little Brother, you have to give a quick price!"

"One hundred and fifty!"

"No way, no way! This is too low! " The booth owner was unwilling.

Yang Bo did not want to be too entangled with them, so he was afraid that if he entangled them for too long, an accident would occur, so he said: "Two hundred pieces! That's the price! "

"Alright!" The stall owner was silent for a moment before answering, "Little brother, this is a new store. I'll give you a low price to cheer you up!"

"Then thank you, boss!" I will be in the vicinity, and will be here often! " Yang Bo took out the money and picked up the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase.

Carefully hugging the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase, Yang Bo calculated his next step. The Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase must make his move quickly, as he only had a day or two of money left to eat, if he did not make his move in time, he would starve. The key thing was that the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase would affect his next step in his plans!

"Hey, young man, stop for a moment!" As Yang Bo was walking back, he heard a call. He raised his head to look and was immediately shocked, because he saw Curator Qu standing right in front of him, smiling as he stared at the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase in his arms.

Yang Bo subconsciously hugged the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase closer to him!
