After Hu Bayi and the other left, Zhang Tian went directly to buy equipment.
Zhang Tian believed that Hu Bayi would come because he was short of money, and Zhang Tian genuinely had no intention of taking any cultural relics.
Those items were useless to him; Zhang Tian's goal was divine weapons and sharp blades.
At this time, in Panjiayuan.
Zhang Tian walked on the street.
All around were small stalls.
There were many people in Panjiayuan, all with a hopeful mindset.
However, they often ended up losing all their capital.
It was uncertain if the buyers were experts, but the sellers in Panjiayuan were definitely professionals.
After all, if everyone could try their luck, those merchants wouldn't need to work.
"Hey? Young Master Zhang? Buying antiques? Take a look, this is my family's blue and white porcelain."
"Young Master Zhang, this was left by my grandmother, take a look."
As Zhang Tian walked down the street, many people greeted him.
Zhang Tian scanned the surroundings, a look of disappointment on his face.
It could be said that none of the items were what he needed.
Most importantly, they were all fake, not a single one was real.
"Are there any new arrivals recently?"
Zhang Tian approached a vendor and asked softly.
Old vendors were shrewd, and most of the items they sold were fakes. Even if they had genuine items, they would price them extremely high.
The vendor chuckled upon hearing this.
"Young Master Zhang, there really is. In the east, there's a newcomer. His items are still covered in soil, fresh soil I saw."
"I heard people from the Wu family and the Gu family have gone to see him."
"It's said they bought quite a few things."
As the stall owner spoke, Zhang Tian rushed over.
Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have gone to eat.
It was truly as they say, a weasel paying respects to a ghost, what bad luck!
Seeing Zhang Tian run off, the stall owner smiled and sat back down.
At least he made a good impression on Young Master Zhang, right?
Soon, Zhang Tian's gaze fell on a group of people.
That group was surrounding a stall vendor.
There was also some soil in front of the vendor, which could be seen as fresh.
"Tomb raider?"
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this person had just come out of a tomb.
At this time, the authorities were not strict enough, and such matters were difficult to manage without concrete evidence.
Zhang Tian's gaze shifted to a figure.
The figure was tall, with short hair, and looked somewhat capable.
It seemed a bit familiar, but Zhang Tian didn't pay much attention, as this was not the time to dwell on it.
Zhang Tian moved closer.
His gaze fell upon the stall.
Indeed, many items on the stall had already been bought.
Only a broken sword, with only half of its blade remaining, was left. The sword had cracks, chipped edges, and even some dirt.
Clearly, it had some age to it.
Even someone unfamiliar with such things could tell it was real.
Beside the sword was a bowl, also cracked. Next to the bowl was an axe, which looked relatively intact.
"It's said this person came out of the tomb of King Han, and these things are all treasures."
"People from the Wu family bought a jade vase here earlier, spending over a million. They're really ruthless."
"Look, isn't that the young master of the Gu family?"
People around were discussing.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
These items were likely not from the tomb of King Han. The tomb of King Han was extremely dangerous, and it was not easy to get out.
The stall owner in front of him was dressed in worn clothes, covered in dust. Zhang Tian felt no particular aura from him, clearly indicating he was an ordinary person.
His gaze turned to the two-halved broken sword.
[Town Evil Sword: Song Dynasty, sword of General Zuo Xuan, mid-grade magical artifact.]
[Function: Suppress evil, slay demons.]
[Description: General Zuo Xuan, who killed countless enemies during his lifetime, this sword is stained with killing intent and can provide a certain suppressive effect against evil.]
A voice sounded in Zhang Tian's mind.
Zhang Tian's heart leaped with joy. He had to take this item.
Tonight at midnight, Zhang Tian was scheduled to depart. With such a treasure, his confidence soared.
"I'll take this."
Zhang Tian pointed at the broken sword.
Even though the sword was broken, as long as its function remained, that was sufficient.
"Five hundred thousand."
The owner stated directly, with no room for negotiation in his tone.
"Look quickly, isn't that Young Master Zhang? What's he buying this broken sword for?"
"Right, even if this sword is real, it's broken. Its value is greatly reduced. Forget five hundred thousand, nobody would pay even five thousand for it."
"Young Master Zhang, known as 'Divine Eye,' is he fake?"
The surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion.
The man who had been watching from the side also turned his gaze to Zhang Tian, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
"Deal."
Zhang Tian said directly, causing a pang of heartache among the onlookers.
Five hundred thousand yuan! That could buy several houses in Beili City.
The stall owner's heart also rejoiced. He had encountered two wealthy customers today.
Zhang Tian didn't rush to pay. Instead, he looked at the bowl beside the sword.
[Item: Blood Bowl, mid-grade magical artifact.]
[Function: Pour chicken blood, dog blood, or snake blood into the bowl and drink it to briefly generate corpse qi and yin qi.]
[Item Description: King Zuo Xuan suffered from an illness in his life and needed to drink human blood to sustain himself.]
The system's voice concluded, and Zhang Tian's heart rejoiced.
This item was also useful.
"How much for this?"
Zhang Tian asked again.
"Two hundred thousand."
The owner stated directly.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"Boss, this sword, five hundred thousand, I won't say anything. After all, my father likes swords, and I like swords too. But this bowl of yours is not worth it."
"This bowl of yours, with blood, it might be an evil object. Two hundred thousand is too much, and it's also cracked. How about this, three hundred yuan, consider it a gift with the sword."
"If you agree, I'll take both the sword and the bowl."
Zhang Tian said, and the owner hesitated.
But after glancing at the broken sword, he finally nodded.
"Alright."
The owner agreed, and Zhang Tian was not surprised.
After all, the broken sword was too damaged, and he wouldn't be able to sell it unless there was a discerning eye.
Rather than have it sit unsold, it was better to sell it cheap.
Zhang Tian nodded and then looked at the axe.
[Bronze Axe, mid-grade magical artifact, slays demons, dispels evil.]
[Item Description: Weapon of King Zuo Xuan's personal guard.]
The voice sounded.
Zhang Tian asked,
"How much for this?"
"How much for this?"
After Zhang Tian's voice, another voice echoed.
It was the man from before.
"One million. This one is well preserved."
The owner stated, and Zhang Tian immediately fell silent.
He looked at the young man.
"One million? Then forget it. I'm fine with these two."
Zhang Tian said directly upon seeing this.
Zhang Tian was very clever. This item wasn't of much use to him. If he insisted on taking it, not only would he make an enemy, but he also didn't know this person or his background.
Zhang Tian was very cautious.
The young man glanced appreciatively at Zhang Tian. He could tell Zhang Tian was wealthy.
But he didn't compete with him.
Clearly, Zhang Tian was a cautious person, unwilling to offend someone he didn't know.
Such people were rare in this era.
Xie Yuchen held a high opinion of such a person.
"One million is too much. I'll take it for five hundred thousand."
Xie Yuchen spoke, his voice not loud.
It was rather indifferent.
The owner looked at Zhang Tian.
Even Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Tian.
Clearly, they were both waiting to see if Zhang Tian would bid.
"I don't have the habit of snatching things from others."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, leaving everyone around stunned.
"Young Master Zhang actually said something like that? Is he still Young Master Zhang?"
"I think Young Master Zhang must have indulged too much last night, he's mentally exhausted."
The surrounding crowd looked astonished.
Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Tian gratefully, and then the owner had no choice but to agree to the price.
After all, this was his last item.
If they waited any longer, the guards would arrive, which would not be good.
Soon, Zhang Tian and Xie Yuchen finished their payments.
They left with their respective items.
"Thank you."
After walking out of the crowd, Xie Yuchen thanked Zhang Tian.
He hadn't brought much money this time, so being able to acquire this was purely a stroke of luck.
Zhang Tian smiled, "No need."
"Congratulations, brother, on obtaining a treasure."
"May I know your honorable name?"
"Xie Yuchen!"
Zhang Tian: "!!!"
