Chapter 1021: Making Money Really Fast

"Thanks, Wu Laoda. If there are fat sheep like this in the future, I'll bring them over again." Zhang Qiang laughed heartily.

"Chen Yu looks like he has some ability, but he seems like a guy who is all show and no substance." Lili covered her mouth and laughed, "Qiangzi, you make money really fast."

"That's nothing. Once you've been here for a few days, you'll know how powerful I am in this local area." Zhang Qiang laughed heartily, put his arm around Lili, and walked out the door.

"Brother Chen, the few things you bought just now aren't worth much, right?" After leaving, Zhang Yanxi finally couldn't help but speak up, "In the antique market, you could buy these things for at most a few tens of thousands."

"Of course I know the market price of these items. Five million is more than a hundred times their value." Chen Yu said with a smile, "However, there is a hidden mystery within these items. I'll tell you when we get to the hotel."

"A hidden mystery?" Zhang Yanxi looked at Chen Yu in surprise, "I thought you were forced to buy them. That group of people inside aren't kind souls. If we hadn't bled a little, I feel like we wouldn't have been able to walk out."

"That's true. If we hadn't bled a little, we really wouldn't have been able to walk out. But I'm not someone who lets myself be taken advantage of. Hehe, wanting to fleece me? They thought things were too simple." Chen Yu sneered.

Arriving at the hotel and locking the room door, Chen Yu took out the few items he had just brought back.

The Blue and White Porcelain had no hidden mystery; the thing was just a high-quality imitation worth a few thousand. Chen Yu took it just to deceive them; the real mystery was in the Jade Buddha.

Chen Yu carefully tapped the Jade Buddha until it shattered. Then, amidst Zhang Yanxi's surprised expression, a layer of Jade Clothing broke away, revealing a glimmer of yellow light inside. Only after the Jade Clothing was completely removed did the true face of the object appear.

Zhang Yanxi covered her small mouth in shock, because there was a layer of Jade Clothing on the outside of this Jade Buddha, but beneath the Jade Clothing was a Golden Buddha.

This Golden Buddha was over a foot tall, weighed about five jin, and judging by its purity, it was definitely not low.

"Heavens, is... is this gold?" Zhang Yanxi asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes, this is real. But looking at the value of the gold, it's worth millions. However, this isn't ordinary gold." Chen Yu turned the Golden Buddha over, and one could see a few seal script characters engraved on the bottom: "Ten Thousand Nations Come to Pay Homage."

"Brother Chen, what do these characters mean?" Zhang Yanxi asked curiously.

"Ten Thousand Nations Come to Pay Homage. This should refer to the various countries in the Western Region coming to pay homage during the peak of the Huaxia dynasty. Buddhism flourished during the Wu Zhou period, so it should be a tribute from that time. Its value is far more than just the price of gold," Chen Yu smiled.

"That's amazing." Zhang Yanxi looked at him with admiration, then asked, "What about this Jade Ruyi?"

"This is a Dharma Artifact. Although its grade is average, it's not something ordinary people can come into contact with." Chen Yu picked up the item casually; the Jade Ruyi was very delicate. He said, "The function of this thing lies in gathering virtue and receiving blessings; it is used for house-guarding feng shui."

"Placing this in your bedroom is equivalent to having a small Gathering Spirit Array. You will feel relaxed and be immune to all kinds of illnesses," Chen Yu said, "I'll give this to you."

"Ah? No, that's too valuable. I can't take it." Zhang Yanxi was startled and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Why be so polite? Anyway, I can multiply my capital several times over just with this Golden Buddha. This is unexpected wealth anyway, so just consider it a gift," Chen Yu smiled.

"No, I can't take it. My father taught me since I was young." Zhang Yanxi shook her head repeatedly.

This girl had good upbringing. No matter what Chen Yu said, she refused to accept it. Chen Yu had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, I'll keep it for you for now. I'll give it to you whenever you want it."

"Brother Chen, how do these people have such good things here?" Zhang Yanxi was curious.

"Actually, I sensed the aura of these items as soon as I walked in. These items have the same aura and should have come from the same tomb. These people don't know their value and treated them as ordinary things; I can only blame them for not having the fortune for this wealth."

"Brother Chen, I feel like Lili's boyfriend isn't a decent person. I want to warn her, but I'm afraid she'll turn against me," Zhang Yanxi sighed and said, "But Zhang Qiang is devious; she will suffer sooner or later."

"I don't know how you became friends with her," Chen Yu shook his head, "She is greedy and vain; she will reap what she sows sooner or later. Moreover, the power behind her boyfriend is not a worldly power. You should stay away from her, otherwise, it will affect you."

"But what about her? Her family conditions aren't good, and she has a younger brother studying at home. What if something happens to her?" Zhang Yanxi felt distressed.

"Remember, everyone has their own destiny. What you need to do is protect yourself. As for others, what they become or what path they take, that is their own business. You cannot control it," Chen Yu said sternly.

"I understand, Brother Chen." Zhang Yanxi sighed slightly. Although Lili was her best friend, she really didn't know how to advise her and could only let things take their course.

"Alright, go back and rest. Also, keep this by your side," Chen Yu took out a Talisman and said, "This place is mountainous, and in ancient times, it was a place of bitter cold and exile. The yin energy is heavy, and some bad things might breed here."

Actually, there is a reason for hanging mugwort at the door, but Lili threw that thing away. As for whether she will have nightmares or encounter anything special at night, that is not something Chen Yu can manage.

"Keep this by your side, it can keep you safe."

"Thank you, Brother Chen," Zhang Yanxi smiled, "I'll go back to my room to rest. See you tonight."

"Alright, get some good rest." Chen Yu nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened. At this time, Zhang Qiang drove his car again with his girlfriend to the hotel to pick up Chen Yu and Zhang Yanxi.

After a simple meal this time, Zhang Qiang chuckled, "Chen Yu, I've already entrusted people to ask about the things you're looking for. Don't worry, we have many mountains here, and many of the ethnic minorities here understand traditional Chinese medicine. I think you'll be able to gather the few medicinal herbs you're looking for very soon."

"Then thank you. If the medicine can be found, I will definitely reward you heavily," Chen Yu smiled.

"Why be so polite? We're all friends," Zhang Qiang waved his hand carelessly, "Since you've come to the market, I must take you out to have some fun. Why don't we find a place to relax?"

"Sure." As soon as Chen Yu saw his flickering gaze, he knew this guy definitely had no good intentions, but Chen Yu didn't care. Play with him? This kid couldn't take advantage of him at all.

"By the way, Zhang Qiang, didn't you say last time that the most powerful Mr. Xu in the local area opened it? Take us there to play," Lili understood Zhang Qiang's meaning well. After all, they had gotten fifty thousand in an instant that afternoon, which made her feel that this person Chen Yu was truly foolish and rich.
