If Lu Shanming and Chen Xingran bet were only about his jade ring, Taoist Lin Xiao probably would not agree. He would also advise Chen Xingran not to be impulsive. After all, this jade ring would be used to exchange for the thing in Lu Shanming's hand.

But Lu Shanming said that Chen Xingran would get out of his store, which made Taoist Lin Xiao very uncomfortable. Even if he lost the bet, he would give Lu Shanming a jade ring to Lu Shanming. At worst, Chen Xingran would lose later. He and Chen Xingran would sway their sleeves and leave.

"Brother Chen, I call you brother, that's what you think of you as a brother. If you want to bet with Lu Shanming, my big brother must support you for free!"

Taoist Lin Xiao took the jade ring and placed it in front of Lu Shanming.

Chen Xingran smiled confidently at Taoist Lin Xiao and said, "Master, I can't lose. I will not let anyone take this jade ring."

Lu Shanming sneered: "I don't know where you got your confidence!"

Chen Xingran asked Lu Shanming again at this moment: "I will confirm it for the last time. You won't cheat on our bet just now, right?"

"Just kidding, how could I be fooled! Lao Li, you will be a notary later!"

Lao Li said, "Okay, then I will be this notary! Xiao Chen, since you said that my question is fake, then you should have your reasons, right?"

Chen Xingran picked up the teacup at this moment. He took a sip of tea first, then calmly pointed to the words and talismans engraved on the Inscription Rain Cauldron and said, "Just based on these hundreds of words, I can conclude that this Inscription Rain Cauldron is fake!"

Lu Shanming snorted: "What's wrong with these words? The text content or font material is not a problem at all!"

Chen Xingran said: "You are right. The content and engraving materials are indeed products of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But I am sure these words are definitely not carved by Zuo Mulong."

“Bad talk!”

"You have said before that when Zuo Mulong arrived in Luliang, he was already ill. Even if he was not ill, he was a magician. When he stepped into Luliang, he might have known that his life was about to end."

"From the handwriting on the tripod, this is not something that a dying person can write."

Lu Shanming said disdainfully: "To judge a person's life and death from his handwriting, even a person with a profound Taoist craft like Taoism, I'm afraid he can't do it."

Taoist Lin Xiao did not favor Chen Xingran, and he nodded and replied: "I really can't tell the life and death situation of a person from his handwriting. Brother Chen, is your cultivation level already... impossible. You are only in your twenties, how can you reach this supreme level?"

Chen Xingran waved his hand and said, "Master Taoist, I did not use magic to determine my lifespan. I made this decision from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine."

"The handwriting on the tripod is full of energy and is not a desperate handwriting at all. If you insist on saying that the handwriting on the tripod is portrayed by Zuo Mulong, it would be contrary to medical common sense!"

Chen Xingran continued, "I wonder if you have heard of an ancient book called "The Three Chapters of Mo Fa" in the Qing Dynasty?"

"The book mentions Xue Changzhu, a great doctor, once, he got drunk and wrote a macaque, and fell asleep. After getting up the next day, he looked at it again and suddenly became sad. He said that his life would not last seven days. His son asked him the reason, and he said that from the words, he could see that his qi was gone and his life would be soon."

"A few days later, Xue Changzhu did not die, but his son died, because the words Xue Changzhu looked at were not written by him at all, but were copied by his son after he slept!"

At this moment, Taoist Lin Xiao suddenly exclaimed: "The method of looking at the qi through calligraphy is called Xuanyi. This is not groundless. There is one in the hands of the great country in Zhongzhou who can do such a skill!"
