However, Zhang Mingtu didn't care about the evil spirits and the negative energy. What concerned him more was the broken wooden puppet lying quietly in a corner of the courtyard.

Well, there were not just one, more than ten of them lying on the ground.
"These Jinyiwei guys are really..."
Zhang Mingtu was too tired to complain.
The burly man, who sounded like he was middle-aged, was still very calm. He was carefully searching the small courtyard for various materials that he could use.
"I'm afraid you've made quite a fuss. You're using so many puppets to guard the tomb's owner. Are you robbing a prince's tomb?"
"You're joking, sir. This is a small business, run honestly, and we never get involved in such low-class things. These are clearly legitimate mechanical puppets, left behind by Gongshujia, a descendant of the various schools of thought during the reign of Taizu..."
"It's true that the inheritance belongs to the Gongshu family, and it's true that it's top-notch mechanical engineering, but these wooden puppets are clearly not real puppets."
The sturdy man hit him without mercy, and looked at the various goods scattered in the courtyard, complaining about them in different categories.
"This is obviously the dark wood from the tomb. It has been buried in the cemetery for at least hundreds of years."
"It's just been buried underground for hundreds of years. This is top-notch spiritual material. Which piece of dark wood is not dug out from the ground?"
"But this dark wood looks so much like a coffin, isn't it a bit bad?"
"Originally, the dark wood also needs to be buried underground in the corresponding spiritual vein for hundreds of years to grow. It just so happens that someone didn't want to waste these hundreds of years and carved it into an antique. How wonderful."
"What about this Yin Zhi Yin Ma?"
"For those who practice the masculine Qi and blood method, using it to balance Yin and Yang is the ultimate in the world."
"But this thing only grows in cemeteries. It looks like its aura is exactly the same as the other objects in your courtyard."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. No matter where it grows, it's the top spiritual material!"
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth as he watched the two people talking.
The middle-aged burly man was not as rough as he looked. He spoke eloquently and had a wide range of knowledge. He could tell you everything about various spiritual materials and treasures from the tomb.
However, although he was extremely disparaging in his words and kept finding flaws and loopholes, he kept putting spiritual materials into his bag when he saw them, and he was also very good at bargaining.
The shopkeeper was even more careful and never mentioned anything like ghosts in the cemetery.
It highlights stability from beginning to end.
He was an honest and upright businessman in every word, but it was so strange that he said such things in the ghost market and in such a remote corner, among a pile of various spiritual materials and artifacts unearthed from the cemetery.
If Zhang Mingtu saw it correctly, it was a wooden puppet, and several of them had dried dark brown blood on them.
While speaking, the shop owner intentionally or unintentionally drew Zhang Mingtu's gaze upwards, and at the same time, combined with the middle-aged man's casual comments, the hidden threat was obvious.
"This puppet is made of special materials, but unfortunately it's already been turned into a mechanism. Furthermore, it's been in the crypt for too long and has been broken into pieces. It's unusable even after being melted down and remade. It's basically top-tier waste."
"You are underestimating me, sir. This is a puppet at the True Essence level. The strongest one can even reach the Grandmaster level. Moreover, it is fearless and never tires.
"Even though it's been damaged, the mechanical engineering left inside is top-notch. This is the secret of the Gongshu family. If someone with great talent can gain some inspiration from it, then... the potential is limitless!"
Zhang Mingtu was quite impressed by the shopkeeper's eloquence.
No matter how big the shortcomings and problems are, they are not worth mentioning in the mouth of the shopkeeper.
And those subtle advantages will be magnified countless times by him. Although he never mentions money in every sentence, every sentence is about making more money.
A top businessman!
Zhang Mingtu secretly praised it in his heart, but he didn't care much. He carefully looked at the various items in the courtyard, especially the wooden puppet.
He took a few wooden puppets and studied them carefully. While speaking, the shopkeeper was also secretly looking at Zhang Mingtu.
Although Zhang Mingtu was wearing a cloak and a mask, with not much decoration exposed, the shopkeeper, with his many years of business experience, could tell a lot of information just from the clothes, shoes and accessories exposed.
His exposed skin was delicate and shiny, and his voice and the style of his clothes made it clear that he was a young man.
Breaking into this small courtyard with an obviously gray atmosphere, he listened to the middle-aged strong man talking to him about these industry jargons. He did not reveal much expression, and his hands were steady and powerful.
A person in this state is either a fool or has extremely powerful martial arts, strong confidence in himself, and is not afraid of any conspiracies or tricks.
Combined with the completely refined monster blood in the jade bottle that the young man had revealed before, it was obviously the latter.
Although his clothes were not luxurious but ordinary, the material was pretty good, and there was no dust or much wear on them. Even though the young man was in disguise, it was obvious that he came from a good family.
He is obviously not the kind of person who travels around the world. He should be a person from a noble family in Jiujiang County or nearby.
"It must be some young man who thought it was interesting. He heard about the ghost market from home and came over to take a look."
The shopkeeper, who had a thin face and even a monkey-like chin, was joking with the middle-aged man while secretly evaluating Zhang Mingtu.
