Chapter 16: Are you curious if there are any real treasures on West Street?

Ancient City West Street.

Knowing that the ancient landscape order was in West Street, Chen Xuanqing naturally seemed a little anxious.

When they arrived at the Xingsheng Alchemy Room, Chen Xuanqing discovered that Ling Yanran had gone somewhere.

"Miss Ling is a cultivator of immortality. I think she must have passed the test and returned to her life, right?"

At the entrance of Danfang, Chen Xuanqing looked around, and when he realized that Ling Yanran was not beside him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But soon, Chen Xuanqing withdrew his gaze. He was not worried about Ling Yanran's safety. There would be no danger in Taiyi Ancient City, not to mention that she was a disciple of Taiyi Immortal Sect.

The thing that needs to be solved now is the ancient order of mountains and rivers.

Outside the door of the alchemy room, there were four or five stalls, most of which were middle-aged men. Only in one stall was an old man, wearing a bamboo hat, lying leisurely on a chair.

In front of the old man's stall, there were a few things randomly placed, including unknown elixirs and several magic weapons, but what surprised Chen Xuanqing at first glance was the 'Landscape Ancient Order'.

A wooden token depicting flowing water, this is the back.

"Shopkeeper, what's the price of this thing?"

Chen Xuanqing asked directly without any hesitation.

"Is this the token?"

The stall owner slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing an older face that looked ordinary and without any peculiar features.

"right."

Chen Xuanqing picked up the ancient landscape painting and inadvertently turned it to the front. It was indeed a depiction of mountains.

"Not for sale."

The stall owner opened his mouth, showing his white teeth.

Chen Xuanqing: "......"

Not for sale?

What are you doing here if you don’t want to sell it? Is it poisonous? Is it fun?

Hey, just playing?

Chen Xuanqing was really stunned.

"Shopkeeper, what's the point of putting things out and not selling them?"

Chen Xuanqing could not hold back his composure, he needed this ancient landscape order, otherwise he would have gotten up and left.

If for no other reason than that, I can't stand this anger.

"This thing is only given as a gift, not for sale, and if you want to give it away, give it to a destined person. You are not my destined person."

The old man spoke leisurely and leisurely, with a smile on his face, but his words made people unfavorable.

"What is a destined person?"

Chen Xuanqing continued to ask.

"I don't know, but you're not."

The old man smiled and replied, but this smile gave Chen Xuanqing a toothache.

"Why am I not? What's the basis?"

Chen Xuanqing continued to ask.

"If you are, haven't I already given this ancient order to you?"

The old man continued, and this answer left Chen Xuanqing speechless.

Don't tell me, it's really reasonable.

"Shopkeeper, I have a hobby. I like to collect all kinds of tokens. This token is exquisitely carved. I really like it. If the shopkeeper can bear the pain and part with it, I will be grateful and I will not be stingy."

Chen Xuanqing had no choice but to use conventional methods to purchase the token.

"Okay, since you really like this token, I have sold you one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, and I can be considered an adult."

The old man spoke out and asked for one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

Chen Xuanqing was silent again.

One hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones?

Are you robbing me? No, robbing is not as profitable as you are.

"Shopkeeper, I really want to buy it."

Chen Xuanqing said with a sad face that he was not in the mood to play tricks with the shopkeeper.

"That's okay. Since the young master is short of money, let's try another method. I wonder if the young master is willing."

The old man spoke out and did not intend to tease Chen Xuanqing any more.

"In what way?"

Chen Xuanqing asked.

"There are three bags here. I will put the ancient order in one of the bags. As long as you guess that the bag contains the ancient order of mountains and rivers, you will not take any money. If you fail to guess, how about one hundred spiritual stones once?"

The old man told him his method, and Chen Xuanqing suddenly understood.

Good guy, is this a trick?

Chen Xuanqing instantly understood that this old guy was not waiting for a destined person at all, he was waiting for a fool.

Drawing a bag seems fair, with a one-third probability, but in fact people who dare to say this basically have some tricks. No matter how you choose, you will never get what you want.

"What? You don't dare anymore?"

The latter's voice sounded, and he used the provoking method to anger Chen Xuanqing.

It's a pity that Chen Xuanqing will not be angered at all.

But what's even more pity is that Chen Xuanqing really wants this ancient landscape order.

"Okay! Since the shopkeeper has this elegance, I will accompany the shopkeeper to pass the time."

Chen Xuanqing said, since the other party wants to play this, Chen Xuanqing will play with him to the end.

If it were before, Chen Xuanqing might have been really good at it, but now Chen Xuanqing is not weak at all.

I have the Diary of Immortal Cultivation here, are you still worried about you playing with this?

"Okay, sir, you are so brave, come."

As soon as Chen Xuanqing agreed, the old man immediately put the ancient landscape order into his bag, and then quickly moved his hands to switch between the three bags. However, the operation was dazzling for a while, but it was not difficult to notice if you looked carefully.

But Chen Xuanqing was not fooled. The other party obviously exposed it deliberately, just to let himself be fooled.

Without any hesitation, Chen Xuanqing pretended to close his eyes and think, but in fact he was checking the diary of cultivating immortals.

---

The fifteenth year of Yong'an, the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

Noon: You came to Xingsheng Danfang according to the prompts in the Immortal Cultivation Diary, and found the ancient landscape order almost without thinking. You were very happy, but the shopkeeper said that you were not a destined person and insisted on playing a stupid game with you. In fact, it was just to think about it.

You agreed to earn more spiritual stones from you. Because you had the Immortal Cultivation Diary, you seemed confident. You looked at the three bags in front of you. At this time, you were curious about the ancient landscape inscriptions hidden in that bag.

Brackets [Hint 1: One Spiritual Stone] [Hint 2: Five Spiritual Stones] [Hint 3: Ten Spiritual Stones] brackets.

---

Diary of a Cultivation of Immortality is still self-proclaimed and self-sold. Chen Xuanqing doesn’t care and just buys Tip 1.

He knew that the other party was playing tricks, but when it came to a hundred spirit stones, Chen Xuanqing did not dare to mess around. He would rather spend money to buy the answer than take any risk.

[Tip 1: There is no one on the left]

"Tip two."

Chen Xuanqing did not hesitate to buy Tip 2.

[Hint 2: There is no middle one]

As prompt two appeared, Chen Xuanqing smiled.

There is no need to read Tip 3 next, buying it is a pure waste of spiritual stones.

Flowers should be flowers and provinces should be provinces. Chen Xuanqing's family was very clear.

"Young master, don't you choose yet?"

The stall owner's voice sounded, and his eyes looked very confident.

There were three bags placed on the stall. Chen Xuanqing glanced at them. Knowing that there were no ancient orders on the left and in the middle, Chen Xuanqing did not choose the third one rashly.

Instead, he pointed to the first bag on the left and said slowly.

"This bag... doesn't have anything!"

Chen Xuanqing pointed at the bag. Before the stall owner could take action, Chen Xuanqing had already opened the bag. It was indeed empty.

"This! Not even."

Chen Xuanqing pointed to the bag in the middle, his voice was very calm, but his eyes were very determined.

When the old man saw this scene, his cloudy eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise. He really didn't expect Chen Xuanqing to be so thoughtful.

Didn't you get fooled?

"Shopkeeper, can you give me this ancient landscape order? However, I am not stingy, and I am still willing to pay a hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

Chen Xuanqing did not check whether there was anything in the third bag. Instead, he took a step back and was willing to pay another hundred low-grade spiritual stones. After all, the ancient mountain and water order was a trial object tested by chance. A hundred low-grade spiritual stones would definitely not be enough.

deficit.

"No, since I agreed, I won't go back on it."

"This ancient order is given to you, but the young master is so smart, I would like to know how the young master sees through all this?"

The old man seemed calm and composed, and did not renege on the debt. He directly handed over the ancient landscape order to Chen Xuanqing.

But at the same time, he was also curious about how Chen Xuanqing saw through it?

Chen Xuanqing was naturally in a good mood after receiving the ancient order of mountains and rivers that was extremely close to being paid for free. However, Chen Xuanqing had already thought of the wording for the latter's doubts.

"It's just luck."

This is Chen Xuanqing's answer. It is impossible for him to tell the reason, and there is no need to tell it. He just needs to get what he wants. There is no point in saying too much.

Naturally, the old man didn't believe Chen Xuanqing's answer, so he just smiled and shook his head.

"Since it's not convenient for the young master to talk, I won't ask any more questions."

The old man said nothing, put the bamboo hat on his head, and continued to rest leisurely.

Just like that, Chen Xuanqing simply bowed and left the stall.

He didn't know who this old man was, and he didn't want to know who he was. Anyway, he just wanted to get the things.

Looking at the ancient order in his hand.

Chen Xuanqing couldn't help but smile like an aunt, and then hid the ancient order in the lapel of her clothes to avoid losing it.

The hawking sounds in the streets are still coming and going, and there are all kinds of strange and strange things, such as magic weapons, elixirs, animal materials, talismans, and so on.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Chen Xuanqing stayed for a while longer, looking left and right, firstly to see if he could find another ancient landscape inscription, and secondly to see if he was lucky enough to find any treasure.

A few days ago, I heard Ling Yanran say that several strange things had happened in the city of Taiyi Ancient City.

Some people have found some peerless mental techniques or some fragments of fairy weapons here. I don’t know whether this kind of thing is true or not, but it is widely circulated and naturally attracts people.

Chen Xuanqing just wanted to see if he could find some such rare treasures.

After all, what if?

I just searched randomly and found nothing.

And just when Chen Xuanqing was about to go back to rest.

Suddenly, it was as if a light flashed through his mind.

Chen Xuanqing was stunned.

etc!

"I am looking for treasures alone. Even if I encounter a treasure, I may miss it. But the problem is that the diary of cultivating immortals may be able to tell whether there is a treasure in this ancient street."

Almost instantly, Chen Xuanqing's brain suddenly lit up.

He originally planned to take a look casually. If he was lucky and picked up the leak, it would be a good thing. If he didn't, it would be no loss.

But a sudden flash of inspiration made Chen Xuanqing think of this method.

I can't find the treasure because I don't understand treasures and I don't have the opportunity. But the problem is that Diary of Immortal Cultivation knows.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuanqing couldn't help but open the diary of cultivating immortals.

Sure enough, a new diary appeared.

---

The fifteenth year of Yong'an, the twenty-fifth day of the first month.

Weishi: You got the ancient landscape order as you wished, and you were very happy, but what you didn’t know was that you missed an opportunity, but the problem was not big. You left the stall and went to other stalls to hunt for treasures, hoping to find another

An ancient landscape order, or other treasures, but when you were searching for it to no avail, you suddenly remembered the diary of cultivating immortals. You were curious whether there was a truly unique treasure in this West Street.

Brackets [Hint 1: Five Hundred Spirit Stones] [Hint 2: Five Thousand Spirit Stones] [Hint 3: Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones] [Hint 4: One Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones] Brackets

Just for a moment.

Chen Xuanqing was shocked.

Because this reminder requires a minimum of 500 spirit stones.

This means that it is very likely that there is a real treasure hidden there.

Of course, this is just Chen Xuanqing's guess.

Whether it exists or not depends on the prompts.

"Tip one, show up for me."

Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones are indeed expensive.

Regardless of whether Diary of Cultivation is a scam or not, Chen Xuanqing naturally wants to buy it.

Even if you really cheat yourself, at least you will feel comforted. If so, wouldn't it be a missed treasure?

That's it.

Once the prompt appears.
