Chapter 6 Ghost Market

Returning to the community, Pei Jun saw a big red banner hanging outside the lottery shop at the entrance of the community:

Congratulations to our store for winning the million dollar prize...

The crowded lottery shop was packed with people who came to get rich, and countless people on the roadside looked at the multi-million jackpot on the banner with envy.

Pei Jun looked at the scene in front of him with emotion.

In his previous life, he was one of them, watching others win big prizes with envy, and even dreamed of buying lottery tickets when he went home at night.

In this life, he no longer has to watch other people's success from the side of the road.

In this life, he will become the envy of others.

The existence that everyone looks up to!

After returning home, Pei Jun immediately started to take action. First, he used money to pave the way and quickly found a proxy agent.

This is a professional commissioning company with extremely high reputation and extremely high prices in Shanghai.

Business is very busy on weekdays.

Not all orders are accepted, especially urgent orders like Pei Jun!

When the person in charge of the agency photography company heard about Pei Jun’s time request, he directly rejected Pei Jun!

Because they accept the entrustment, they need to review the customer's information and the value of the lot, and also need to learn about other auctioneers' situations and various information.

The procedure is very cumbersome.

The preparation time takes only two weeks to start.

But Pei Jun opened his mouth and it was four days later.

The person in charge of the company declined:

"Sorry sir, this time..."

Pei Jun raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"Add money."

Finally, under Pei Jun’s financial offensive, the person in charge of the entrusting company said firmly:

"Don't worry, we will definitely help you get the lot you want in four days!"

“We will definitely help you get it at the best price.”

“You will definitely receive your goods on time.”

With three firm guarantees from the person in charge of the company, Pei Jun put away the phone with satisfaction. If you have money, you can do whatever you want!

Then he thought about the information about another treasure, the Sanqing Bell.

Because he had never seen Sanqing Bell in his previous life, Pei Jun's knowledge of Sanqing Bell was actually limited. He only knew that Sanqing Bell should be in an antique shop in Hangzhou at this time.

The owner’s surname is Wu.

The Sanqing Bell is the ancestral treasure of the shop owner.

In the future, this shopkeeper Wu will become the real person of Wu in Longhu Mountain, the ancestral court of Taoism. With the power of the Sanqing Bell, he will become famous in the mythical revival period.

Therefore, if you want to find a Sanqing bell, you must first start at an antique store.

With the idea in mind, Pei Jun immediately took action and started searching online for information about antique shops in Hangzhou, and soon got the results.

But the result made Pei Jun frown tightly.

Because there are too many!

There are hundreds of antique shops shown on the map. Fortunately, these antique shops are mainly concentrated in three areas, namely Hangzhou Antique City, Wushan Antique City, and Qianhuang Antique City.

It's a little hard to find.

Although I thought the process would not be easy, but...

The corner of Pei Jun's mouth twitched and he sighed silently in his heart.

Although it was hard to find, he couldn't give up. Pei Jun quickly packed up his things and then set off to the antique city.

Hangzhou Antique City is one of the three major antique cities in Hangzhou. It has a dazzling array of antiques and antiques. It is a paradise for antique lovers.

But for Pei Jun, it is torture!

Because there was no more information, Pei Jun could only search in store after store.

When entering the store, first look for an object similar to a Sanqing bell, and then pretend to chat with the boss for a while, asking for his last name.

In this way, he searched one store after another until it was dark, and Pei Jun only visited one-third of the stores.

Watching the door of the antique city slowly closing, Pei Jun squatted feebly on the steps at the door. Today's day's search was not only tiring his legs but also his mouth!

And nothing was gained.

How long will it take to find out if this continues? It’s such a waste of time.

He was ready to change his approach.

Pei Jun took out his cell phone while taking a taxi home.

After thinking about it, he clicked on the part-time group of a former university where he studied in Hangzhou.

Although it has been three years since graduation, the part-time university group is still active. After all, who doesn’t like a labor force that is strong in learning ability, obedient, and cheap?

Pei Jun thought for a while and edited a message:

Urgently recruiting store sweepers.

Requirements: good physical strength, good at chatting, strong observation skills, and good conduct.

Wage: 200 per day, paid daily.

This is Pei Jun's method, pay someone to find it.

In this way, the efficiency has increased and I have more time to practice.

It was a time when college students were free at night, and many people saw Pei Jun's part-time job information. Pei Jun's friend additions soon started to appear one after another.

By the time Pei Jun got home, he had already selected several suitable part-timers and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.

Then practice and sleep.

The next day, Pei Jun met several part-time workers outside the antique city gate and briefly discussed the requirements for cleaning the store.

Everyone quickly took action.

Looking at the people moving around, Pei Jun is sure of victory this time.

He couldn't believe that he couldn't find it like this.

But time passed by little by little, until it was getting dark, no good news came, and everyone in the operation came back one after another.

Nothing was found.

Pei Jun frowned and settled his wages for the day.

On the third day, Pei Jun expanded his manpower and continued the search based on yesterday's results.

Still found nothing.

Pei Jun frowned even more.

On the fourth day, the three antique cities had been searched by the personnel arranged by Pei Jun, and some areas were even searched repeatedly.

But there was still no harvest.

There were many stores selling Sanqing Bells, but the surnames of the store owners could not be matched, and Pei Jun also visited these stores in person.

Confirmed that the Sanqing Bells in the store were not the Sanqing Bells he was looking for.

Although he did not have any strength now, after a few days of continuous practice, he had accumulated a few strands of spiritual energy in his body.

These strands of spiritual energy could help him confirm and activate the spiritual treasure.

Did he remember it wrong?

Faced with repeated failures, Pei Jun had doubted himself more than once in the past two days.

It shouldn't be.

After recalling again and again, Pei Jun confirmed that he did not remember it wrong! But why couldn't he find it?

Did something unexpected happen, or was there other information that he didn't know?

Pei Jun frowned and scratched his head in annoyance.

Did he really give up?

Pei Jun fell into deep thought.

Just when Pei Jun was at a loss, a part-time girl who had just collected the money and had not left immediately hesitated, then asked:

"Handsome boy, are you looking for Sanqing Bell?"

Pei Jun looked up, looked at the girl in confusion and said:

"Yes, the ancestral Sanqing Bell was sold by my father to a boss named Wu. I heard that this boss Wu was a dealer in antiques in Hangzhou."

To avoid suspicion, this is the reason he made up in the past few days.

The ancestral Sanqing Bell was sold by his father to a boss named Wu. Now that his family is rich, they want to take it back.

That's why he searched for the past few days.

The girl who spoke nodded, thought for a while and said:

"In addition to these three antique cities, there is another place to buy and sell antiques in Hangzhou!"

Pei Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The girl continued;

"You may not know since you are not a local, but the busiest antique market in Hangzhou is actually the Ghost Market, which is also the favorite place for antique connoisseurs."

Pei Jun repeated doubtfully:

"Ghost Market?"

The girl nodded enthusiastically and said:

"Hangzhou Collectibles Market, also known as Erbaida. But we locals prefer to call it Ghost Market!"
