Upon hearing this, Qin Guangping immediately laughed and said, "I do have a source for this. How many do you want?"
Cao Kun: "The more the better, but it must be authentic and passed down through generations."
"The reason I, Qin Guangping, have been able to do business for so many years is because of my integrity," Qin Guangping assured himself, then frowned, "And it has to be passed down through generations?"
The so-called "passed down through generations" means that it cannot be buried.
Many ancient coins today are unearthed from the ground.
It was either stored in a cellar or buried with the deceased.
Passed down through generations means passed down from ancient times to the present.
In terms of cultural value, there is not much difference between coins passed down through generations and coins unearthed from the ground.
But for cultivators, it's a different story.
The unearthed money had been buried underground for so many years that it had lost all its energy.
The coins passed down through generations, having passed through the hands of countless people, embody the collective power of their prayers, thus achieving a true apotropaic effect.
Cao Kun: "It must be passed down through generations."
“Alright, I’ll ask around for you,” Qin Guangping said. “But as you know, heirloom coins are extremely rare, and they cost a fortune.”
Cao Kun: "How expensive?"
Qin Guangping: "That depends on the age and condition. I can't explain it to you now. Anyway, you should be prepared."
Cao Kun is now very wealthy and confident: "Contact me once you're sure."
After leaving the grocery store, Cao Kun strolled around Chinatown.
There are antique shops in Chinatown, but when Cao Kun went to check them out, he found that they didn't have a single genuine item; they were all fakes, and they were just trying to fool as many people as possible.
There, you can forget about buying peach charms or heirloom coins.
Finally, he bought several authentic Chinese cookbooks to take back to Seiko Yamashita.
Two days passed, and Cao Kun still hadn't received a call from Qin Guangping.
It seems that getting this batch of money won't be so easy.
But two days later, Cao Kun's cultivation level improved significantly every day thanks to his diligent practice.
His data attributes are now as follows:
Host: Cao Kun
Identity: A second-rate heretical cultivator
Technique: The Art of Condensing All Evil
Cultivation level: Ninth Rank of Gathering Evil
Skills (Spells):
Corpse Refining Technique
Yin-Yang Creation Technique (Level 5)
Yin Fu Technique
Ghost Raising Technique
Cursed spells (Level 5)
Experience points: points
Seeing that his identity was still that of a lowly, heretical cultivator, Cao Kun was speechless.
He realized that anyone who hadn't broken through to the level of Gathering Evil was considered second-rate.
However, being judged as substandard by the system is already powerful enough for an ordinary person.
Clearly, the system has a very high ceiling.
From another perspective, this seems to be something to be happy about.
After logging out of the system, Cao Kun prepared to go look at the house.
Although this apartment is quite nice and has plenty of evil energy, it is still quite inconvenient for cultivation.
Especially at certain times, they tend to make too much noise.
Cao Kun planned to look for a house with similarly strong evil energy.
After summoning the Holy Son of the Mountain, Cao Kun and his companion went to a real estate agency.
Perhaps seeing that Cao Kun and his companion were Asian and quite old, and didn't seem like they could afford a house, the real estate agency had a rather young-looking female agent attend to them.
The female real estate agent looked to be in her early twenties, with a youthful and inexperienced appearance, suggesting she had recently entered the workforce.
According to her own introduction, her name is Sarah.
"What kind of house would you two like to see?" Sarah asked politely.
Cao Kun said directly, "It's a haunted house."
Sarah's expression changed: "Mr. Cao, are you sure you're not joking?"
Cao Kun: "I'm not joking."
A house with a strong aura of evil spirits has a high probability of causing death.
The dilapidated apartment was filled with an eerie atmosphere because the people living there were from the lowest rungs of society.
There are enough people living here, and each of them has an exceptionally high level of negative energy.
This is what allowed the evil energy to gather.
For other places to have sufficient evil energy, they either need to have lingering spirits, special feng shui locations, or something like the apartment Cao Kun is currently living in.
In such places, regardless of the type, there is a high probability that someone has died there.
The dilapidated apartment building is the best example; the number of people who have died there has long exceeded double digits.
That's why Cao Kun said he wanted to see a haunted house.
Seeing that Cao Kun looked serious, it seemed he wasn't joking.
The beautiful woman next to her also had a smile on her face, showing no intention of refuting. Sarah knew then that these two people really wanted to buy the haunted house.
Sarah kindly advised, "Mr. Cao, although haunted houses may be cheaper than market prices, it is very dangerous to live in them."
I've heard that many people who buy haunted houses end up listing them again soon afterward.
Some people fared even worse, experiencing extreme accidents.
She lowered her voice and said, "If you two are short on cash, I also have some properties that are very cost-effective, some even cheaper than haunted houses. I can recommend you take a look."
Sarah, perhaps new to the business, still had a conscience and earnestly advised Cao Kun against buying a haunted house.
An experienced real estate agent wouldn't care about so much; as long as the sale goes through, they don't care if you live or die.
Cao Kun smiled gently and said, "No need, we'll just look at the haunted house."
Seeing Cao Kun's resolute attitude, Sarah didn't say anything more. She said, "Please wait a moment," and went to get the documents.
A moment later, Sarah brought over a folder.
There was a layer of dust on top, clearly indicating that this folder hadn't been touched in a long time.
Sarah wiped the dust off with a tissue, feeling a little embarrassed, opened the folder, and took out a few documents.
"Mr. Cao, Ms. Yamashita, please take a look. These are some haunted houses in our database."
Cao Kun glanced at it and saw that there were four copies in total, which wasn't a large number.
Don't underestimate this number; having four haunted houses within a single company is already considered a lot.
Cao Kun glanced around and found that of the four haunted houses, one was an apartment, and the other three were detached villas.
This is not surprising.
In country M, there are more detached houses than apartments.
Some apartments are actually more expensive than detached houses.
You can't tell from the photo.
Just as Cao Kun was about to suggest going to check it out in person, his phone suddenly rang.
Cao Kun thought it was Qin Guangping calling, but when he took it out to look, it was another unfamiliar number.
"Excuse me, are you Master Cao Kun?"
A magnetic female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cao Kun felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and based on his current experience, it was probably some celebrity: "I am Cao Kun."
“Hello, Master Cao Kun.” The female voice sounded somewhat weak: “I am Chariz Theron, and I need your help.”
Charlize Theron?
The image of that NF Diamond immediately flashed into Cao Kun's mind.
Charlize Theron is known as "The King" because of his extremely powerful aura.
With her aloof demeanor, stunning beauty, and superb acting skills, she remained a Hollywood star for decades.
Cao Kun recalls that she also won an Oscar for Best Actress.
Of course, not now.
Cao Kun: "Let's find a place to meet and talk."
After agreeing to meet at a restaurant, Cao Kun hung up the phone.
Cao Kun closed the folder and said to Sarah, "Go and collect as many haunted house resources as possible. I want to pick out the best one from them."
Cao Kun wanted to suggest picking the fiercest one, but he was afraid of scaring the other party.
