____________________
In the Old Age Home, all people were laughing to their hearts full while rolling while many held their stomachs.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian had an awkward smile on his face as he saw all of them.
'What's wrong with Little Qing's mother asking for my return.'
'Sigh let them smile it is good for their health.'
Ye Qian sighed and looked around for Little Qiqi.
Soon he found a small head peeking among the old ladies smiling at him.
It was like she knew Ye Qian was looking for her so she smiled.
Ye Qian went to her and squatted in front of her and said.
"Butterfly how about Papa come back after doing some work while you play with Grandpa and Grandma's here."
"Papa where are you going?"
Little Qiqi looked at him curiously and asked as he patted her head.
"Papa will go out to make some money so that papa can cook a special dinner for my Butterfly."
"Alright, Papa Qiqi will play here, but you must bring Qiqi some cake."
"Sure my Butterfly, Papa will bring some cake for you. I will come back before Mumma does so that we will welcome Mumma."
Ye Qian said as he pinched her nose in a playful manner.
"Yes, Papa, we will give surprise to Mumma."
Little Qiqi said as she giggled.
Ye Qian stood up and looked at Grandma Xue, to which she nodded and said.
"Don't worry Qiqi has always been with us you can work carefree while she is with us."
Grandma Xue smiled as she placed her hand on Little Qiqi's head and gestured to him to not worry.
Ye Qian nodded and looked around as he saw many were calling out for Qiqi to play with them, while some of them were even fighting with each other for Little Qiqi to be with them.
Meanwhile, Little Qiqi ran around as a Small Swallow loved by everyone in the hall.
Seeing this Ye Qian felt his heart whelm with happiness seeing his daughter being so happy with all.
'She is like Mengmeng always playful and accepted everyone in her heart.'
With that, he turned to the door and walked out of the door while carrying his bag.
Soon he walked out of the Old Age Home entrance and turned to the area where the Ancient Relic Market was.
__________
After searching, wandering and asking around for 15 minutes Ye Qian finally found the Ancient Relic Market.
The area was very bustling and many people quarrelled with the shop owners for lowering the price.
As Ye Qian saw around he saw many kinds of old and fascinating artifacts were sold here, there were some old shops that were in business for around two to three generations.
There were many small vendors who were selling charms all around the place.
Ye Qian saw the charms they were trying to sell here. The charms were made from normal Yellow Paper without any Spiritual Force lingering in them so they wouldn't have any kind of effect at all even if people were to buy those.
Nevertheless, they were sold at a very cheap price: starting at around 50 Yuans to 100's of Yuans for a sheet, while there were very rarely any which were priced over 500 Yuans.
Of course, Ye Qian wouldn't be ready to sell these charms so cheap, as they were worth treasure if people were to find out the truth about them.
As a means to prevent being recognized and further causing a disturbance in his peaceful life, or even interrogated by people, Ye Qian wore a big pair of shades and a hat with a low rim.
He found a corner of Ancient Relic Market to set up his small stall like some old fortune tellers.
He opened the piece of black garment he brought with himself and spread it and placed the few charms on the floor and opened his business, just like that.
Although there were many guards in Star City, there weren't any in the Ancient Relic Market, so there was no one who came to bother with Ye Qian, thus giving him a lot of relief.
Soon after 10 minutes passed, there was no one who bothered to even ask about his charms.
As there wasn't anyone who could advertise how good his charms were, others didn't buy his charms.
As Ye Qian had nothing to do he simply closed his eyes and started meditating, as there was no Spiritual Energy he couldn't even cultivate.
So he simply closed his eyes and sat there.
"Hey look there is a Ghost Repelling Charm here, and what's this? Hey, boss how much for the Ghost Repelling Charm?"
A woman and a man walked in front of Ye Qian as the woman asked.
Ye Qian didn't think there would be someone who would ask for its price so soon.
He opened his eyes and stood up with joy and said.
"Any of the Charms is 50000 Yuans a piece .."
"Are you a lunatic!"
Before Ye Qian could finish speaking, he received curses after which the couple turned around and started walking off in the distance while turning their backs. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
Ye Qian didn't even have the chance to say the use of the charms and their properties before he was labelled as lunatic.
Still, he didn't felt bad as he knew that there were few people who would realize the value of these charms.
He again closed his eyes and went back to his meditation.
He knew that only people who could recognize the worth of these charms were those with keen eyes and had some innate attraction towards the spiritual force.
After another half an hour many people came to visit his stall, many of them would come just to ask for the prices, but he hadn't sold any till now.
Moreover, his stall was becoming famous in the Ancient Relic Market for the sky-high price of his charms per piece.
Many people didn't come to buy but were there instead to see the charms that would cost 50000 Yuans.
Ye Qian's stall became a big joke in the Ancient Relic Market.
Many people were talking about Ye Qian's charms in the market for his price after about an hour of his arrival.
"Hey did you see there was a man selling charms near the old pawn shop?"
A middle-aged man growled as he talked to the one in front of him.
"Hehe is he dumb or does he think that his charms really work?"
The other sneered as he looked in the direction where Ye Qian stood with his eyes closed.
"Well he is a newbie so don't worry, he will surely know the market and know his value."
"Or he will run after conning someone with much power here. Hehe."
The middle-aged and sniggered as he also turned to Ye Qian's direction.
__________
Meanwhile, Ye Qian stood at his stall like a statue.
Though he was also worried and not feeling good about the selling of these charms. He had no other choice if he needed some money instantly.
And there was no way anyone would give him money first for a job.
He insisted to wait here until Yuan Meng was about to return.
Many people visited and shook their heads as they compared Ye Qian's Charms to that of others. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
Sure enough, there was a huge difference, as the charms that others sold were about A4 size while Ye Qian's charms were barely the size of an adult's palm.
There was never a stall that sold charms for 50000 Yuans and there was no negotiation as well.
Because of this, it was not at all hard for Ye Qian's charms to become famous in the whole Ancient Relic Market.
Many people just came to the stall to rebuke Ye Qian for his high price, as they would not have brought them even if their prices were normal.
About an hour later Ye Qian saw the watch on his wrist and sighed.
It was nearly 4:30 so he might have to go to the old age home soon.
He felt sad as he had all the power but no money.
Though he was a sovereign he never lived to live his life spending in the cultivation world either, he was always worried about Yuan Meng and Qiqi and how he would go back to them.
But now he felt helpless for even after having so much knowledge in medicine and other arts from the cultivation world he couldn't even make some money for his family to have necessary things.
'How am I going to be a good father and husband if I can't even earn enough money to feed my daughter and wife?'
Ye Qian sighed again.
As he was about to pack up the things and was thinking of trying to come back tomorrow or do something else he heard someone.
"Xiaowen, why did you come to this place, see everywhere it is filled with fake medicine and other stuff."
"This is the place where people believe they might find some mysterious stuff and supposedly an old treasure."
A young man in his mid-twenties spat as he looked around, he was tall and quite handsome and wore a half-canvas suit of Armani.
He had an arrogant look and disgust in his eyes as he looked around the Ancient Relic Market.
