Chapter 16: Are you curious if there are any real treasures on West Street?(1/2)

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.
