After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Boss, how much are these books?" Ye Tian asked casually, picking up one at random.

"Handsome guy, you have a good eye. I got these books from an old professor's house."

The copy of Jin Ping Mei you have here has color illustrations and is a unique copy; it's hard to find nowadays.

"I see you're really serious about buying, so I'll give you the lowest price: 500!"

Ye Tian laughed: "Boss, are you taking me for a fool?"

I bought the resources online for less than five yuan. You can keep them for yourself.

Ye Tian put the book down and turned to leave.

"Handsome guy...handsome guy, don't rush off, the price is negotiable." The boss got anxious and quickly called out to Ye Tian.

He bought these old books by weight, and he could make a profit even if he only paid five yuan per book.

He hadn't made a single sale all night, but finally a customer came, and he couldn't let him go easily no matter what.

"Boss, don't try to play games with me. I'll offer a fixed price. If you can sell them, I'll pick a few; if not, I'll go look elsewhere."

"How about 10 yuan a book?" Ye Tian turned to look at the stall owner.

When looking for a bargain, you absolutely must not let the boss notice anything amiss; only then can you achieve your goal with the least amount of money.

"Handsome guy, you can't bargain like that. I want 500 and you only need 10."

"No, 10 yuan a book is too low. How about you add some more? 50 yuan for two books, okay?" The boss displayed his shrewd businessman nature, wanting to earn as much as possible.

"I'll give you a copy of *Jin Ping Mei*, a copy of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, and this book of 300 children's songs as a bonus. How about I give you 50?"

"Okay, here's the money." The stall owner took one look and figured that the book, "Three Hundred Nursery Rhymes," was such a niche book and not worth much anyway, so he gave it away for free.

Ye Tian picked up three books, paid for them, and quickly disappeared from the stall owner's sight.

Fifty dollars, and in just a few minutes you snag a bargain worth seven hundred thousand—that's money rolling in fast!

Ye Tian was full of confidence at this moment. If he could pick up one bargain, he could pick up a second one.

A dozen minutes later, Ye Tian stopped at another ancient coin stall.

"Hey handsome, look at these old coins. I'll give you a discount if you want them."

"Activate the Heavenly Eye Divine Power."

"Ancient coins, last week, 0.5 yuan."

"Yuan Shikai silver dollar, freshly made to look old, 1 yuan."

Just as Ye Tian was about to leave, a string of messages popped into his mind.

"Among the 108 copper coin swords, there is one genuine Xianfeng Heavy Treasure sword, worth 180 million."

Great, more good stuff!

The copper coin sword was brought in by the shop owner himself to display his wares; would he actually sell it?

"Boss, I want to buy old coins so I can make a copper coin sword for myself."

I didn't expect you to have one right here. Why don't you just sell it to me? It'll save me the trouble.

Ye Tian said casually.

"Not for sale, handsome. The copper coin sword is a magical artifact, and it has specific rules."

Do you know why a copper coin sword requires 108 coins?

This number isn't just randomly chosen; it represents the sum of the 36 Heavenly Spirits and the 72 Earthly Fiends.

It symbolizes that only by following the numbers of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches can the power to subdue demons and monsters be maximized.

Therefore, the copper coin sword cannot be sold; you must ask for it.

The stall owner immediately launched into a cultural outreach effort.

"The boss is right. How much do you want for this copper coin sword?" Ye Tian asked patiently.

"I won't let you have it. I've already said it's a Buddhist artifact, so I must have brought it back for my own use to decorate the stall. How can I give it to you?"

The stall owner pulled another stunt.

Ye Tian was speechless. Damn it, are you kidding me?

"However, if you sincerely want this copper coin sword, it's not impossible, but you'll have to pay extra!"

The stall owner revealed his ultimate goal.

He's out doing business; there's no reason for him not to sell.

There's only one possibility for not selling: the price wasn't agreed upon.

"Fifty thousand!" The stall owner gestured a number with his hand.

Ye Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had said so much just to make more money. As long as he sold, things would be much easier.

"Boss, are you taking advantage of my lack of knowledge?"

For the copper coin sword to become a true magical weapon, it must be made with five emperor coins.

Alternatively, one could use heirloom coins that have been passed down through generations and circulated among countless people, often referred to as "hundred-family coins," which symbolize the gathering of positive energy from a hundred families.

Does your copper coin sword have a single copper coin that meets the requirements?

It's just a modern work of art, and you dare ask me for 50,000?

I bought the copper coin sword just for peace of mind and for good luck.

"Are you treating me like a fool?" Ye Tian said, turning to leave.

"Old Tan, you're really asking for too much. I can't stand it anymore."

"Handsome guy, I'm selling copper coins too. Come take a look, I'll give you a discount."

The stall owner next to him extended an invitation.

"Handsome, the price is negotiable, don't go!" The stall owner panicked when he saw Ye Tian about to leave.

"1000!" Ye Tian held up one finger.

"Sell it, I'll pay you!" the stall owner immediately agreed.

"Did I overpay?" Ye Tian shook his head, pretending to be helpless as he paid the money.

"Handsome guy, take your treasure, this is yours now, goodbye and best of luck!" The stall owner grinned.

The stall owner thought he had gotten a great deal.

Just as Ye Tian was about to leave with the copper coin sword, a melodious voice rang out:

"Hello, handsome, may I take a look at your copper coin sword?"

Ye Tian turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in her twenties, wearing a fitted cheongsam, with a curvaceous figure and delicate features, looking at him.

"Can."

The woman in the cheongsam took the copper coin sword from Ye Tian's hand, examined it for a full minute, and then spoke:

"Will you sell this copper coin sword? I'll offer 150 million!"

"How much?" The stall owner was the first to get restless, his eyes fixed on the copper coin sword.

He just sold it for 1,000 yuan, and someone offered 1.5 million yuan to buy it?

This handsome guy made 1500 times his initial investment in the blink of an eye?

He thought he had gotten a good deal, but after calculating, he realized he had lost a lot of money.

Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat; the Heavenly Eye Divine Power's ability to appraise treasures was indeed real.

However, the value assessed by the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability was 180 million, while the woman offered 150 million.

Does this mean I can add more points?

"Beautiful lady, if the price is right, I'll definitely make a purchase."

"You want to buy this copper coin sword, is it because of the Xianfeng Heavy Treasure coin inside?"

Ye Tian deliberately said it to let her know that he had recognized the Xianfeng treasure.

"What? The Xianfeng Treasure? It's worth between 180 million and 260 million."

"Handsome guy, sell it to me, I'll offer 180 million."

The shopkeeper selling ancient coins nearby immediately surrounded them.

Before Ye Tian could speak, the woman in the cheongsam spoke again:

"You have a good eye; this is indeed a genuine Xianfeng treasure."

However, due to improper maintenance, its market value is now as high as 1.8 million, and I'm offering 2 million.

Do you have any other treasures in your bag? Sell them to me together, and I'll buy them all at the highest market price.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yuyan. The Sifang Pavilion next door belongs to my family. Shall we go in and sit down for a chat?

"You're Wang Yuyan?"

Ye Tian was suddenly startled. Was she Murong Xue's mortal enemy?

What a coincidence! I actually ran into her here. She doesn't look like a bad woman at all.

Moreover, in terms of both figure and appearance, she is a great beauty on par with Murong Xue.

A thought suddenly popped into Ye Tian's mind: Why do women have to make things difficult for each other?

"You know me?" Wang Yuyan looked at Ye Tian in confusion.

"I don't know him, I've only heard the name."

Ye Tian was just wondering how to find her, and now he's bumped into her by chance.

"Shall we talk at my shop?"

"Walk."

Watching Ye Tian and Wang Yuyan leave, the shopkeeper selling copper coin swords beat his chest and stamped his feet, filled with deep regret.

"My 200 million, just like that, gone."

However, the antique business tests one's eye for quality, and the rule is that once you buy something, you can't sell it. If he regrets it, he can only accept it.
