Chapter 30: A steal of 1 yuan for just 5 yuan!
"Nonsense?" Shen Yu sneered, took out his phone, and showed the auction results.
"Look for yourself, it's the official auction record, how could it be fake? You've been around for over ten years, and you can't even recognize the Earth Spirit Solomon's Seal? You still have the nerve to run a stall here?"
Fang Dashan looked at the transaction news on his phone, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
He had just mocked the other person for being a sucker, but it turns out the other person got a huge bargain of two million for two hundred thousand!
He's been running his stall for over a decade, and he still can't recognize the treasures right in front of him!
The people around him instantly erupted in a frenzy, their gazes towards Shen Yu shifting from mockery to deep awe and envy.
"My God! Two million! That's a real steal!"
"That's amazing! To recognize the treasure at a glance, what kind of divine eye does that have?"
"No wonder they bought it without even blinking; they recognized it beforehand! That's a true expert!"
Fang Dashan stood there, being pointed at and whispered about by the crowd. He wished he could disappear into the ground. He slunk back to his stall, never daring to show his face again.
Shen Yu ignored him completely, took Jiang Xinlan's hand, and turned to leave.
Jiang Xinlan held the wooden box in her hands, her hands trembling, her voice shaking with excitement:
"Shen Yu...two million? We...we got such a huge bargain?"
"It's nothing," Shen Yu said with a smile, ruffling her hair.
"This is just the first one. We'll find the remaining three slowly. Besides, we'll keep this Solomon's Seal to refine pills; we don't need to sell it. If we want money, there will be plenty of opportunities to pick up bargains later."
Jiang Xinlan looked at his nonchalant demeanor, her eyes practically overflowing with admiration.
Her man is amazing!
The two continued walking along the market. Shen Yu's spiritual sense swept across the entire area again, and soon his gaze locked onto a stall in the miscellaneous goods section not far away, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
The extraterrestrial meteorite core they were looking for was actually right there at that stall!
Shen Yu led Jiang Xinlan to the miscellaneous items stall. The miscellaneous items stall was even more chaotic than the medicinal materials stall. The ground was covered with broken copper and scrap iron, a mixed bag, and nine out of ten items were modern imitations of junk.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with his shirt off, sitting with his legs crossed, scrolling through his phone.
On the rag in front of me, amidst a pile of scrap metal, was a fist-sized, dark iron block with a pitted and uneven surface, looking no different from the scrap metal found on a construction site.
However, in Shen Yu's spiritual sense, the core of this iron block was surrounded by a pure stellar power, which was the extraterrestrial meteorite core he was looking for!
This meteorite fell to Earth over a hundred million years ago. Its outer layer has long been weathered and corroded, leaving only a small core. The stellar power inside is pure and abundant, making it an essential ingredient for the Nine-Turn Awakening Pill.
The stall owner clearly didn't recognize its value and treated it as ordinary scrap metal, throwing it into a pile of junk without even putting up a price tag.
Jiang Xinlan followed Shen Yu's gaze and saw only a piece of dark, scrap metal. She asked softly:
"Shen Yu, is this also what we're looking for?"
"Yes, don't let its unassuming appearance fool you, it's actually the core of an extraterrestrial meteorite." Shen Yu nodded, leading her to the stall, kicking the meteorite, and speaking casually:
"Boss, how much for this piece of scrap metal?"
The stall owner looked up, glanced at Shen Yu, then at the piece of scrap iron, and casually said:
"I picked this up when I was working in the countryside. They said it's from the Ming Dynasty, so it's considered an antique. You can take it for five thousand yuan if you want."
Actually, he bought this thing from a scrap collector and it only cost him thirty yuan.
Five thousand yuan!
Jiang Xinlan was stunned. She had just heard Shen Yu say that this thing was extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and it was only selling for five thousand yuan?
Just as she was about to pay, a sarcastic voice came from behind her:
"Hey, really? You guys don't actually think you're so lucky, that you got a bargain once and then got one more time, right? This scrap metal is practically junk, it can't possibly be an antique, can it?"
It's Fang Dashan again.
He had just lost face and was seething with hatred for Shen Yu, so he simply followed him all the way here, hoping to find an opportunity to get revenge and make Shen Yu lose face in front of everyone again.
Seeing that Shen Yu was going to spend five thousand yuan to buy a piece of scrap metal, he immediately shouted at the onlookers:
"Everyone, look at this! This kid's really not smart! He spent five thousand yuan on a piece of scrap metal—something nobody would even pick up if left on the street—and he's treating it like a treasure!"
People gathered around and pointed at the meteorite.
"Is this the young man who just picked up the Solomon's Seal? What's going on? Why did he take a liking to this piece of scrap metal?"
"It looks like ordinary scrap metal. I wouldn't even take it for five yuan, let alone five thousand!"
"Did he get cocky just because he got lucky earlier? Does he really think he knows everything?"
Jiang Xinlan's face instantly darkened.
"What we buy is none of your business! Why are you meddling in our affairs?"
"Five thousand dollars, right? We'll take it."
Jiang Xinlan immediately scanned the code to pay; she hated it most when people spoke ill of Shen Yu.
"Young ladies, I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder!" Fang Dashan said, his neck stiff and a smug look on his face.
"Don't think you know everything just because you found a bargain once. This is just a piece of scrap metal from a construction site, not an antique at all. Don't be fooled by the stall owner!"
The stall owner was also unhappy. He eagerly handed the goods to Shen Yu, then turned and glared at Fang Dashan, saying:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Even if this stuff is just scrap metal, I still bought it. Whoever wants to buy it is none of your business! Get lost!"
Shen Yu, however, showed no anger whatsoever. He merely glanced at Fang Dashan indifferently, his tone icy:
"Are you sure this is just ordinary scrap metal?"
"Otherwise what?" Fang Dashan scoffed, his face full of disdain.
"Could it be another meteorite from outer space? I think you're just obsessed with this treasure!"
"You're not bad at all; you even know about meteorites from outer space."
Shen Yu curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, squatted down, and gently brushed his fingertips across the surface of the meteorite iron. With a flick of his spiritual power, he instantly scraped off the weathered black skin on the surface.
The exposed silver-gray metal interior, with its mysterious patterns and shimmering metallic sheen, was clearly not ordinary iron.
He stood up and addressed the onlookers, saying each word clearly:
"This is not ordinary scrap iron, but meteorite iron that fell to Earth. The price of this kind of meteorite iron is ten times that of gold. This piece weighs a full kilogram, and the market price of the raw materials alone exceeds ten million."
Not to mention, such a complete meteorite core is something that even money can't guarantee you'll find in the collector's market.
Ten million?!
Something bought for 5,000 yuan is actually worth 10 million?!
Fang Dashan's smile froze instantly.
Ten million?!
He was just mocking someone for buying scrap metal, but it turns out that person got a huge bargain of ten million for five thousand!
He had never seen so much money in his life!
That’s ten million!
At this moment, he desperately wanted to go back a few minutes and slap himself hard across the face, saying, "You're so foul-mouthed, you're so foul-mouthed!"
Someone else could spot the extraordinary quality of Huangjing at a glance and snag a two million yuan bargain. With such exceptional insight, he still dared to show off and make fun of others in front of them. He must have lost his mind.
The smart thing to do is to quickly snatch that piece of scrap metal from him!
If he were smart, he would be the one snatching up a ten million dollar bargain right now!
Ugh!
Why didn't you think of that?
I regret it so much!
Fang Dashan felt like he was kicking himself!
