C3 Ghost Market

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

The sky was still dark. It was only three in the morning. Yang Bo stepped on the moonlight and walked into a small alley with a flashlight in his hand. After walking for a dozen steps, he heard the bustling sounds coming from inside. Rays of light were shuttling back and forth.

The Antique Market was very close to the Sky Palace Antique Market, but it was only about two to three hundred meters away. Yang Bo had often visited the Ghost Market before, but he did not have any money at that time, so he naturally did not buy anything. This time, he took the remaining two hundred or so yuan from this month!

Success or failure depended on this one move. If his eyes had really deceived him, then there was nothing to be said!

For his father, he had to fight!

Although he had made up his mind, Yang Bo still carefully searched around. There were many items in the Ghost Market, such as porcelain, paintings, gold, silver, jade, and even the ancient cauldrons that had been prohibited from auction. As for whether they were real or fake, it all depended on the buyer!

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

He walked over to each stall and picked them up one by one. He did not use his superpower easily, because he did not know how long he could use it for. However, he believed that it would not be too long. If he could not find the real item, then it would be a loss!

Therefore, he decided to change his strategy!

Yang Bo stood up and searched around. Soon, he found a target, Curator Qu!

Qu Yuanyang was the Vice Curator of the Jinling Museum. He had been to the Gu De House twice, so Yang Bo had some impression of him!

Yang Bo stared at Curator Qu's figure. His feet moved quickly as he walked over. He wanted to use a tactic to keep an eye on Curator Qu's movements. He would use Curator Qu's movements to find the possible authentic items, and then use his superpower to identify them. This way, he could save the time of using his superpower!

For the first time, Yang Bo was still a little unfamiliar with tracking. While looking after the items, he was afraid that he would miss them. On one hand, he pretended to pick up small items, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to Curator Qu's movements.

Curator Qu picked up a bottle of tobacco and looked at it for a long time. He put it down again and then looked at a brush, and occasionally looked at two paintings.

Yang Bo was at a loss for what to do with the disorderly and even irregular selection. Fortunately, he had enough patience. The money in his hands was too little. If he wasted it once, he would have to wait until next month. He could not afford to wait. There was still hope for the early stage of liver cancer treatment. Every day that passed was a sliver of hope that was extinguished!

Soon, Yang Bo noticed that Curator Qu had picked up a porcelain bottle that looked like a fish basket and looked at it for a long time, as if he was hesitating.

Yang Bo's heart skipped a beat. He followed and approached it a little closer. He narrowed his eyes, and strands of light seeped out from the porcelain. The light was especially prominent in the dark night. The light gradually gathered at the neck of the Fish Basket Bottle. The light gathered more and more, and soon it condensed into a circle of light!

Yang Bo looked over and was shocked in his heart. This circle of light was actually thicker than the circle of light from the Painting of the Seven Treasures. In other words, this Fish Basket Bottle was going to be before the light!

After the joy, there was worry again. Yang Bo was afraid that Curator Qu would want to buy it!

Standing beside Curator Qu, Yang Bo did not even dare to turn his head to look. He just stared at the small jade item in front of him until Curator Qu turned around and left without a sound. Only then did Yang Bo let out a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the porcelain.

The porcelain was shaped like a fish basket, light purple in color. It looked like a defective product with uneven lacquer. However, Yang Bo had not studied for nothing in the past two years. He naturally understood that this was a replica of the Gongyan and Yongqian porcelain from the Soong Dynasty. The Gongyan and Yongqian porcelain were the most famous porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Since it was before the light, even if it was the Jiaqing period, it was still a profit. Yang Bo looked at the entire thing carefully and found that there were no other damages. Yang Bo then relaxed.

Yang Bo raised his head and looked at the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this for?"

The stall owner was in his thirties. He had a small beard on his chin and his eyes were shining. "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 laughed, "Little brother, don't you know? That is Curator Qu from the Jinling Museum!"

Yang Bo seemed to not understand his meaning, "Oh, is that so? How much is this porcelain for?"

The stall owner stared at Yang Bo as if he wanted to see a trace of it on his face, "Curator Qu has seen it. This porcelain will naturally increase in price. The original price is 20,000, but now it's worth 40,000!"

Yang Bo frowned. Although he had already expected this, he did not expect it to be so expensive. However, this was most likely an inflated price!

"Fifty!" Yang Bo continued to bargain.

"Little brother, this price is a little too ruthless!" The stall owner said.

Yang Bo shook his head and said, "Boss, it's not the first day that I've come here. My family has been renovated, and the old man wants me to buy two decorations. I'll give you a good price!"

The stall owner paused for a moment, "Eight hundred!"

Yang Bo was overjoyed. He knew that there was hope for a deal, "One hundred, not too much!"

The stall owner sighed, "This is a small business, and I can't make much money. Today is the first time that I have opened up, so I'll give you five hundred!"

Yang Bo touched his pocket. How could he have so much money? He could only turn around and say, "It's still too expensive. I'll go to another shop to take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Bo turned around and was about to leave, but his heart suddenly became nervous. He was determined to get the Fish Basket Bottle, and he was afraid that he would be acting!

He silently counted down three times in his heart. Before he could say anything, he heard the stall owner's voice, "Little brother, give me a good price!"

"One hundred and fifty!"

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

Yang Bo did not want to pester him too much. He was afraid that if he pestered him for too long, something unexpected would happen. He simply said, "Two hundred! That's the price!"

"Alright!" The stall owner muttered to himself for a moment before replying, "Little brother, this is just opened. I will give you a low price to make you happy!"

"Then thank you very much, boss! I will be here for a while, and I will definitely come back often!" Yang Bo took out the Fish Basket Bottle and replied, but he couldn't wait to get it!

Carefully holding the Fish Basket Bottle, Yang Bo was calculating his next step. This Fish Basket Bottle was definitely going to be sold as soon as possible. He only had one or two days of money left on him. If he couldn't sell it in time, he would starve. The key was that this Fish Basket Bottle would affect his next plan!

"Hey, stop for a moment!" Yang Bo walked on the way back when he heard the call. He raised his head and was immediately shocked when he saw Curator Qu standing in front of him, smiling as he stared at the Fish Basket Bottle in his arms!

Yang Bo subconsciously hugged the Fish Basket Bottle even tighter!
