The stall owner smiled bitterly to himself upon hearing this.
He originally thought he could make a fortune off these two young Taoist priests, but he never expected to encounter someone who knew what he was doing.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay! Consider it making a friend today, sixty yuan?"
Liu Feng didn't want to haggle any longer, so he paid and took the goods. In the instant he turned around, a happy smile appeared on his face, just like the stall owner's joy at having ripped off a fat customer.
Seeing his junior uncle's happy expression, Tong Miao couldn't help but feel curious.
He leaned forward and asked, "Junior Uncle, is there really anything special about these ancient copper coins?"
Liu Feng nodded and smiled mysteriously, "That's right, the ancient copper coins I picked are all genuine, and one of them, the 'Da Qing Yi Bai' coin, is extremely rare and can be considered a coin treasure! We've really struck gold this time!"
He did not reveal more about the value of this copper coin in later generations, which once fetched a high price of over one million at auction.
Then, Liu Feng pointed to the wooden ruyi and continued, "As for this wooden ruyi, it is not just an ordinary decorative piece. It is carefully carved from peach wood. You can see that its wood is delicate, with a gray-black color that reveals golden threads, and it also has a special fragrance. Its most precious feature is that the brown scars on this piece of peach wood were formed by lightning strikes, which has given it the magical functions that ordinary magical artifacts possess."
Tong Miao took the wooden ruyi, examined it carefully, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He exclaimed, "The peach is the essence of the five woods. This ruyi carved from peach wood should have the functions of warding off evil, bringing good fortune, dispelling evil, and promoting prosperity when placed in the home. Junior Uncle, your vision is truly unique!"
Liu Feng smiled without saying a word. The two strolled around the antique street for a long time and finally found an ancient medical book. Because it was somewhat damaged, they only paid two yuan for it.
I didn't leave until it was getting late, and arrived at the train station.
With a whistle, a green train came from afar and slowly came to a stop at the platform.
Before getting on the bus, Liu Feng reached into his robes, but actually took out several bottles of pills from his gourd space and gave them to Tong Miao, explaining how to use them.
"Tongmiao, take these pills," Liu Feng said.
"This is made from some rare medicinal herbs. It is very helpful for cultivation and strengthening the body. Remember to take one pill every seven days, and do not overdose."
Tong Miao accepted the pill and looked at Liu Feng gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Junior Uncle! I will definitely do as you say."
At this moment of parting, Liu Feng was filled with reluctance.
Liu Feng lived here for ten years since he was a child.
He and Tong Miao had been together for ten years. To him, Tong Miao was no longer just a junior apprentice, but more like an older brother who was as close as a brother.
Liu Feng grasped Tong Miao's hand and whispered, "Nephew Tong Miao, I will often think of you and my senior brother. I will definitely come back to visit you after the New Year. Take care, goodbye!"
The train slowly started moving, taking Liu Feng's figure away.
Tong Miao stood on the platform, watching the train gradually disappear into the distance. Although he knew that Liu Feng, as a Qi Refining stage cultivator, was unlikely to encounter any danger on the train.
But as he watched that still-youthful face gradually disappear from sight, Tong Miao couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, his emotions overwhelming him.
He waved loudly at the departing train and shouted, "Junior Uncle! Take care! We'll be waiting for you to come back!" His voice echoed on the empty platform.
Once on the train, Liu Feng found his seat, the middle bunk.
He took off his shoes, hugged his large gourd of wine, tilted his head back on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest. He paid little attention to the strange looks from the people in the surrounding workshop.
Not long after the train started moving, a train attendant pushed a cart and loudly called out, "Sunflower seeds, drinks, bottled water..."
Midway through, Liu Feng drank a few sips of the medicinal wine and then actually fell asleep.
In a daze, he heard someone pushing him.
"We've arrived at Yiyang Station. Don't forget to take your luggage and get off the train!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng picked up the gourd, rolled over, and got out of bed.
Outside the train window, all he could see was darkness, but the streetlights were bright. Liu Feng followed the flow of people out of the station.
At the train station entrance, there were people everywhere. There were pedicabs and vans that would approach people coming out of the station and try to get them on their vehicles.
A winter night.
As Liu Feng stepped out of the train station, a biting wind rushed towards him. Some pedestrians wrapped their coats tighter around themselves.
Liu Feng, dressed in a thin Taoist robe, was unfazed by the bitter cold. He planned to find a hotel to stay in.
Just as he was looking around, a middle-aged woman walked over quickly, her face full of a warm smile.
"Young Taoist priest, are you alone? There's a cheap and clean hotel nearby, would you like to check it out?" the aunt asked kindly.
Liu Feng smiled slightly and politely declined, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, but no need. I can find it myself."
However, the aunt did not give up easily and continued to entice Liu Feng, strongly recommending the hotel she mentioned.
Just then, a Santana sedan slowly pulled up beside Liu Feng. The window rolled down, and a clear voice called out, "Little Taoist priest, what are you doing here?"
Liu Feng turned around and saw that it was Liang Ziyang. Liang Ziyang, his mother Huang Jiayao, and his sister Liang Ziyan had also just gotten off the train and were returning from their maternal grandfather's house.
Everyone on the bus got off, and they were overjoyed to see Liu Feng. Liang Ziyang ran over and grabbed Liu Feng's hand, her face full of surprise: "Liu Feng, what are you doing here?"
“This is my hometown. My home is in Wenshu Township, Xianshan County,” Liu Feng replied, feeling quite surprised by the coincidence.
"That's great! We're from the same hometown, Liu Feng. I'll take you to the city tomorrow so you can have some fun," Liang Ziyang said happily.
At this moment, Huang Jiayao smiled and said, "Brother Liu, my home happens to be not far from the city center. Why don't you come stay at our place tonight? We'll treat you to a good meal as a way of thanking you for your previous help."
Liu Feng declined, but couldn't resist Liang Ziyang and Liang Ziyan's enthusiastic invitation and finally agreed.
Everyone got into the Santana, and the car drove through the night towards a residential area in the city center.
After arriving at the residential area, they had a late-night snack together at a nearby restaurant. They ordered several home-style dishes, and chatted as they ate, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, they went to the Liang family's residence.
The house was decorated in a warm and stylish manner, with a soft sofa, a large TV and a landline telephone in the living room, clearly indicating that the family was wealthy.
In this era, 99% of the people in the entire city have never ridden in that Santana sedan.
However, the reborn Liu Feng didn't feel anything.
During their conversation, Liu Feng learned that Huang Jiayao was a teacher at Yiyang No. 1 Middle School, and that her husband worked for the municipal government; he was handsome and had a calm demeanor.
