Buying dharma artifact

　　I explained to Nova that I'd be back after a bit of shopping and asked them to wait a bit, then followed Stella out.

　　"Where are you taking me to buy dharma artifact, sis?" I asked.

　　"Yin-yang artifacts market," Stella said nonchalantly, as if she was still a bit attached to what had just happened.

　　I knew it was bad form on my part, I shouldn't have teased her, and I had to keep teasing her in order to make her laugh again, and after I called her Stellala for the twentieth time, she finally couldn't resist pushing me into the middle of the road and almost letting a car run me over.

　　"Shut up, I'll pull out your tongue if you talk again." Stella said and got into a taxi and I hurried to follow.

　　It probably didn't take long for Stella to lead me to an out-of-the-way bazaar.

　　This bazaar is already very old, there are a lot of buildings have got some sense of age, and there are not many people, basically passing by ten shops, there is only one shop that is open, nothing more than a shop that sells some dead people's things and coffins, there are no guests, and there are not even pedestrians on the road, although it's now broad daylight, as soon as I approached this place, I felt a little weird, gloomy wind gusts.

　　"Stellala, you're not going to bring me to some weird place and kill me, are you?" I shivered in fear, it's just a prank? What's the need for a killing spree?

　　"Shut up and stop calling me Stellala, said it's Yin-yang artifacts market, of course it's a bit weird, it's only really open at night, basically no one is here during the day." Stella said.

　　No wonder it's called Yin-yang artifacts market, I was a bit shocked when I heard the name, it's not a good name, but a name like this.

　　After walking for about ten minutes or so, Stella suddenly stopped in front of a shop and I looked up to see two big words written on the sign: Yin Xuan.

　　The shop is still quite large and has a wide variety of dharma artifacts on display, including the most common mahogany swords, bagua mirrors, Yellow Taoist Talisman, and a mortar and pestle.

　　Various other messes were there, but many I didn't recognise, such as a rectangular block of wood that looked like it had no idea what it was for.

　　It was only when Stella finally introduced me that I realised it was a piece of shock wood, also known as wake wood.

　　What is the shock wood? That is, in ancient times, the magistracy to rise to the trial will shoot a piece of wood, snapped, shouted to rise to the hall, snapped, and shouted to bring the prisoner up, that piece of wood is the Hall of Shock.

　　Why is it that the wood can be a dharma artifact to subdue ghosts? It is because criminals are most afraid of this thing. If they have committed an offence, they will be scared once they shoot this and it has a deterrent effect. Many criminals who have been killed and become ghosts are afraid of this thing.

　　Also, Stella said that this piece of shocking wood is the relic of Bao Zheng Bao Qing Tian, and with his righteousness, the ghosts are even more scared.

　　But this thing is a bit flawed, that is, it can only cure ancient ghosts, modern ghosts are not afraid of this.

　　Apart from this, there are many other rarities and oddities that are demon-subduing dharma artifacts, so I won't go into them all.

　　At this time, a man wearing a Republic of China Tang suit walked out from the back hall, he was holding a white fan, although it could not be said to be elegant, but it was also elegant and easy-going, refined, he slightly fanned the white fan in his hand, with a smile on his face.

　　He looked like he was probably in his early twenties and shouldn't have been much older than us.

　　"Stella, you haven't been here for some days, I have missed you so much, I ..." the man said to Stella, as if pouring out his feelings, but Stella directly interrupted her dialogue.

　　"You shut up too, I'm going to introduce you to a business deal today, so please leave me alone." Stella covered her ears as if she didn't want to hear anything.

　　I can see, this guy seems to be Stella's suitor, I showed a bad smile, this business, it seems to have a chat, when the time comes to borrow Stella's identity, ruthlessly bargaining.

　　"Also? Do you have another suitor? I have a love rival!" The man frowned, then gathered his fan and tapped it on his palm as he turned his head to stare hard at me.

　　I quickly explained, "No, no, you've got it wrong, I ... I'm not, I'm friends with Stella, just friends, heh heh."

　　"Just a friend then I'm relieved, in fact to put it mildly I should be overthinking it, there's no way Stella would fancy you!" The man unfolded his smile anew.

　　Me: "......"

 Damn you, is that how you treat your customers? Can't you learn from me? Don't you know that the customer is God?

　　I'm being undermined, Stella is happy as if she's finally out of a bad mood, if I had known that this would make her laugh, I wouldn't have bothered coaxing her just now.

　　"Hello, my name is Esteban Li, our Li family is known as The King of Yin-yang artifacts, you can shop with confidence as anything you buy from me is one hundred percent fake." Esteban said.

　　"The King of Yin-yang artifacts?Really, bragging rights?" I pulled Stella aside and whispered.

　　In my years of experience of suffering losses, generally those who brag about how great and awesome they are, 80% of them don't have any real skills.

　　Stella didn't have any expression on her face, she just said lightly, "His family is the number one family in Vervecity, and his father is the richest man in Vervecity."

　　Me: "......"

　　"That's how you became the richest man in the world?" I asked suspiciously.

　　"On that!" Stella nodded.

"Lying to me, right? So this guy is super rich, you don't agree with him chasing you?" I firmly don't believe it, it can't be Stella and this guy teaming up to cheat me out of my money, right?

　　"Che, it's just money, it's not like my family doesn't have it." Stella clasps her hands to her chest with a bit of disdain.

　　"And does your family have much of his?" I asked again.

　　Stella shook her head and said no, but is there a difference between one billion and ten billion? Just enough to spend.

　　I still don't believe that selling a dharma artifact can be sold to become the richest man? Besides, even though this shop looks okay and is bigger than the ones I just passed by, it doesn't look like the richest man's shop.

　　Stella rolls her eyes and says I'm so annoying, she asks if I know how much it costs to buy it at a shop like Yin-yang artifacts market.

　　I shook my head, saying I didn't know, and Stella held up a finger and said quietly, "It's going to be a hundred million!"

　　"Pfft ..."

　　I almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, although I know the land is expensive, but I didn't think the land of Yin-yang artifacts market is so expensive, just this shop area is actually almost the same as my tattoo parlour, it actually wants one hundred million?

　　"Stop nagging, like a pussy, buy it or not, if not I'm leaving." Stella said impatiently.

　　Buy! All came, how can empty-handed back, certainly have to buy, but to buy things, surely have to figure out the bottom, or buy a fake thing back or high price, that I bowel regret to die, not that I do not believe Stella, I am afraid that she is also given to cheat.

　　Since this Esteban is a super-rich kid, his stuff, for sure, can't be fake!

　　"Esteban, can you recommend a few?" I said.

　　Esteban closed his fan and said sure, he asked what I wanted dharma artifact for.
