Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 27: Treasure Appraisal

"Jingle Bell……"

The wind chimes were swinging in front of the door, making crisp sounds whenever someone came in.

Lin Beixuan was sitting behind the counter eating the pancakes he had bought in the morning. When he saw someone, he looked up and saw Huang Shifu walking in timidly with a notebook in his arms.

"You arrived on time."

Lin Beixuan looked at the time, finished the last bite of the pancake, and walked out from behind the counter.

"I taught you almost everything I should have taught you yesterday. You can master it well. I have to go out for something, so I'll leave the store to you today."

"..."

Huang Shifu's expression changed immediately after hearing this. His five fingers tightly grasped the notebook in his arms, and he looked extremely nervous.

There is a difference between practice and actual combat. She thought Lin Beixuan would guide her for one more day, but she didn't expect that she would start working directly today after just meeting him yesterday.

Lin Beixuan didn't care much about this. He walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, you can do it."

Convenience store cashiers don’t need much technical skills. They just need to know some computer operations and product knowledge. In addition, now is the era of big data, and all the items in the store have been recorded in the computer, so you can know the price of the item just by scanning it.

Leaving Huang Shifu staring blankly at the not-so-small convenience store, Lin Beixuan went directly to the bus stop near the school, intending to go back to the city.

Los Angeles University is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. It is a first-line university that Xuan Country focuses on cultivating. Not far from Los Angeles University, there are also well-known schools such as science and engineering, medicine, etc., which are concentrated into a university town area.

As today is the weekend, many students want to take this opportunity to go to the city center for a stroll, so the buses are crowded.

After finally squeezing onto the bus, Lin Beixuan saw a familiar figure sitting in the seat next to him.

"Liu Fei?"

As if noticing Lin Beixuan's gaze, Liu Fei also looked over. After discovering that it was Lin Beixuan, she wrinkled her nose slightly, then looked out the window again.

The bus driver drove very steadily. After all, there were students on the bus, and they did not dare to cut in line and drive fast on the road by relying on the bus's special status.

The journey was smooth. When they arrived at the get-off point, Lin Beixuan got out of the car and found that Liu Fei had followed him.

The next stop they made was the largest antique street market in Los Angeles, where mostly dealers or private sellers traded antiques. It was one of the more famous landmark areas in Los Angeles.

If Liu Fei hadn't reminded him before, Lin Beixuan wouldn't have known that he would be tainted by the secular world after entering it, so he politely took the initiative to say hello.

Liu Fei walked over to Lin Beixuan and sniffed it, with surprise flashing in her eyes: "It seems that you have found a solution."

Lin Beixuan was speechless when he heard the other party talk about this. Liu Fei left without saying a solution after giving him a reminder. It was like telling you that there was a nail on your stool but not telling you where it was. It was really uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, my thinking is a bit slow. It was only when I returned to the dormitory that I realized I didn't tell you the solution." Liu Fei said to Lin Beixuan apologetically.

Hearing this, Lin Beixuan could only smile awkwardly and change the subject, "Are you going to the Antique Street too?"

Liu Fei blinked and looked at Lin Beixuan meaningfully.

"If you want to conceal the worldly aura on your body for a long time, you need ancient artifacts that have been deposited by history. You are here for this, right?" Lin Beixuan nodded without comment.

Liu Fei was the only secular prince he knew in the real world, and judging from his previous behavior, he was mostly well-intentioned, so there was nothing to hide.

With an old hand around, he can learn more about the dunya.

Liu Fei showed appreciation on her face: "It's a good idea that you have this idea. Willow branches and realgar are only temporary options after all. It's better to carry the antique with you once and for all."

"So, are you also planning to buy an antique?" Lin Beixuan asked curiously.

"No, I'm here to visit my relatives." Liu Fei said, raising the pendant hanging on her mobile phone.

It was a small jade Buddha, which looked delicate and warm, with a emerald green color all over and a faint luster in the sun.

Even a layman like Lin Beixuan could tell at a glance that it was of great value. Considering that the other party was not here to shop at the antique market, it must be an old antique.

"Can just such a small piece cover up the aura of the entire body?" Lin Beixuan thought secretly, already having a general idea in his mind.

Seeing Lin Beixuan staring at the jade Buddha on his mobile phone in a daze, Liu Fei guessed what Lin Beixuan was thinking and couldn't help but remind him.

"The antique market is very complicated and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the antiques. If you haven't done enough research, it is best to come prepared."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I still plan to go in and take a look."

Seeing this, Liu Fei didn't say anything more, so she said goodbye to Lin Beixuan and left.

Watching Liu Fei leave, Lin Beixuan smiled and followed the crowd into the antique street.

As soon as he entered the antique street, Lin Beixuan smelled a unique scent in the air, like the smell of ancient wood, paper and metal intertwined together. It was hard to tell what it was, but it gave people a somewhat extraordinary feeling.

There are many shops around, and what they sell are not snacks and fruits, but exquisite calligraphy and paintings, or some antique utensils.

There were many people standing next to these stores, most of them wearing strange one-way glasses, observing carefully but not daring to touch.

Because if you accidentally drop something, no matter whether it is real or fake, you will be in trouble.

Lin Beixuan followed behind these "experts", glancing at the prices below the antiques from time to time, and couldn't help but smacking his lips.

He couldn't afford any of them, so he might as well not look at them.

After passing through the signboards at the main entrance and entering an alley, this is the core area of the Antique Street.

Throughout the alley, there were vendors sitting on stools on the ground at various street corners, with only a piece of cloth or a long table on the ground in front of them, which was filled with many strange and weird things.

This is the core content of Antique Street, Taobao!
Speaking of Taobao, it is an extremely exciting and challenging activity. It gathers many collectors and antique dealers. Some of them even have money but do not rent the storefronts in front of the main entrance, and prefer to set up stalls in the narrow alleys.

From rough pottery to exquisite jade, from yellowed ancient books to gorgeous jewelry, as long as it is related to antiques, there is nothing they can't take out on a piece of seemingly dusty cloth.

Of course, how much of the content is true and how much is false is a matter of opinion.

And many times, even the vendors who set up stalls to sell goods don’t know whether the goods they have are valuable or not.
