”Perhaps the antique market is a good choice.”

Jiang Liu'er knew that staying in the house and waiting for Xuanyuan Mingxue to return was a waste of time, so she decided to spend a bit more time to absorb the gas. Perhaps, when Xuanyuan Mingxue returned, she would be able to give her a surprise.

Thinking this way, Jiang Liu'er immediately changed into a new set of clothes and left the house. With the new attire, Jiang Liu'er's footsteps also became abnormally light.

The antique street and River Stream's residence in the city were not too far away, so he decided to walk. On the way, he suddenly discovered that the weather was exceptionally blue.

In just ten or so minutes, he saw a sign for the Antique Street Market not far away. Jiang Liu'er hurriedly walked over. His anticipation for the Antique Street was really unexplainable.

Jiang Liu'er walked in with fantasies in her mind, but reality gave her a hard slap on the face.

Looking at the various' antiques' placed on the left and right sides of the entrance, it was indeed enough to make Jiang Liu'er's eyes light up, but...

”What the heck is this?”

Jiang Liu'er curled her lips. Seeing that there was no black gas at all in these 'Ying Yan', the anticipation in her heart instantly dropped and her entire being was in a bad mood.

When an old man in his forties saw Jiang Liu`er, his eyes lit up and he threw a meaningful glance at her. He pointed at a blue and white porcelain on the ground and smiled sinisterly.

The corner of Jiang Liu'er's mouth twitched. If he didn't have this special ability that could distinguish treasures, he would definitely have been attracted by this blue and white porcelain eye, but now …

”Heh.”

Jiang Liu'er's sneer caused the middle-aged man in his fifties to be stunned. He immediately understood what Jiang Liu'er meant. With a wail, he stood up from the ground and grabbed Jiang Liu'er's shoulder.

”Oh young man, you seem to be quite knowledgeable. What do you think? What treasure do you want?”

Jiang Liu'er's eyes once again scanned through the items on the stall. Although he really wanted to find a treasure that could catch his eyes, these little things were really …

The middle-aged man seemed to be able to see through Jiang Liu'er's thoughts, he smiled and nodded as he led Jiang Liu'er in another direction.

”Young man, I didn't expect us to be so fated. Come, come, come. There's a good thing we need to find someone who understands him. Take a look.”

While they were talking, the two of them arrived at an inconspicuous shop at the corner. The man's hand had just opened a gap in the door when black gas immediately gushed out.

There was a kind of indescribable excitement in Jiang Liu'er's heart, but of course he wouldn't reveal it.

Jiang Liu'er became more and more excited as she followed the man. The endless black gas came from all kinds of corners and surrounded Jiang Liu'er. The warmth made her take a deep breath.

”Lad, are you alright?”

When the middle-aged man saw Jiang Liu'er's exaggerated reaction, he was indeed a bit worried about this young man's heart attack, and looked at Jiang Liu'er with a worried expression.

Jiang Liu`er breathed in a lot of the black gas. The warmth flowed through every corner of her body and into her body. This feeling made her feel much clearer.

”It's nothing, it's just an old habit. Uncle didn't think that you would have so many treasures hidden here.”

When the middle-aged man heard Jiang Liu'er's praise, he couldn't help but praise himself. He took out an unremarkable item from the cabinet, but the moment the item was taken out, Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

As time passed, the needle continued to beat, the spinning needle connected to the tensed feeling in Jiang Liu'er's heart. Looking at the black gas that was coming out of the gaps in his embrace, Jiang Liu'er could not help but take in two deep breaths.

It was a good thing that Jiang Liu'er had grasped the side effects of the last absorption. This absorption was an easy task, and there were no side effects at all.

”How about it, young man?”

Although the black gas was pouring out from his pocket watch, it was still a small antique after all. Even if Jiang Liu'er bought the items to 'feed' the black gas, it probably wouldn't be able to produce much in 10 and a half years.

”Not bad.” Jiang Liu'er took advantage of the moment when the man was disappointed to take his things back and quickly took two more sips.

The middle-aged man looked around the room once more. In the end, he still brought Jiang Liu'er to another room that was beautifully decorated.

What was different from Xuanyuan Mingxue's hall was that the black gas inside the house was much brighter than the outside. Moreover, in some places where the light couldn't reach, the black gas actually looked like mist.
