Chapter XXVII

The old man had long hair and beard, and looked drooping, but his eyes looked fierce, and beside him, a young man in white stood upright, his handsome face seemed kind, but his eyes revealed a sense of arrogance.

Ling Chen could clearly see that the Xuan Power fluctuation on the white-clothed young man's body was strong, and he had already stepped into the martial artist stage, while the old man did not have a trace of Xuan Power fluctuation, there were only two possibilities that Ling Chen could not perceive the other party's cultivation, one was that the other party had not cultivated at all, and the other was that the other party's cultivation was two levels higher than Ling Chen.

Ling Chen looked at the old man, the old man seemed to be old, but his every move seemed to reveal a force, and his eyes were very sharp.

"Martial Sect powerhouse?" Ling Chen guessed in his heart, he couldn't help but be surprised, the strong man of Martial Sect had the strength to start a sect, although Lu Yucheng was promoted to Black Iron City, and there was also a Martial Sect in charge, but this Martial Sect must have lived in the Qionglou Palace, how could he be wandering on the street, Ling Chen concluded that this Martial Sect might be the sect master of a small sect, and he came here to see the mercenary Dabi.

Lao Mo saw the two of them come in, looked at the clothes on their bodies, and his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly ran over and greeted him with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, what do you want?"

The young man Mo looked playful, the arrogance on his face was even more obvious, and he replied lightly: "Take out your most expensive thing and show it to me." ”

Lao Mo was happy when he heard it, his favorite is this kind of rich master, this kind of money owner who does not buy the best, only buys the most expensive money can often spend a lot of money, of course, Lao Mo will not give them inferior products, after all, these people are either children of the family or people in the sect, not caused by him.

"Okay, you two, please come with me into the inner hall. Lao Mo smiled and greeted the two into the inner hall.

The young man did not rush to answer, but glanced at the old man beside him, and when he saw the old man nodding slightly, the young man said, "Lead the way ahead." ”

The three of them walked towards the inner hall with Lao Mo, during which the young man in white passed by Ling Chen's side, glanced at his eyes slightly, and continued to walk towards the inner hall, Ling Chen was not worthy of his attention.

Ling Chen looked at the young and handsome face of the young man, and just smiled slightly, after all, the other party was a martial artist and had the strength to despise himself.

"Martial artist, when I rise, I don't even have the qualifications to be my disciple. Ling Chen snorted coldly in his heart, with a hint of intriguing look in his eyes.

"Huh?" When the crane-haired old man passed by Ling Chen's side, he was suddenly attracted by the ancient book in Ling Chen's hand, stopped his footsteps in the inner hall and asked with a smile: "Young man, don't you know if you can lend it to the old man in your hand?"

Ling Chen was startled by the crane-haired old man's sudden turn, looking at the old man's kind smile, Ling Chen had an inexplicable trace of jealousy in his heart, although he attached great importance to the book in his hand, he still knew the truth of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.

"Please, old sir. With a smile on his face, Ling Chen handed the book in his hand to the old man.

The old man nodded with a smile and took the book from Ling Chen's hand, as soon as the book was started, an imperceptible light flashed in the old man's eyes, but the old man hid it well, and Ling Chen didn't find it.

At this moment, the young man also turned around, but at this moment, his eyes when he looked at Ling Chen were no longer ignorant, but there was a sense of resentment, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly covered it up.

After the old man turned the first page, he kept staring at the round unicorn on the homepage, and his eyes revealed surprise and doubt.

The old man stared at the home page for a lot, and then turned back, but just turned to the second page, the doubts in the old man's eyes were even deeper, and he kept turning the pages, but each page was still blank. The old man looked at the pages with water stains and fire marks on them, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

These traces were obviously the work of the shopkeeper, and the flooding and fire could indeed reveal some hidden words, but the old man understood that this book might be an ancient martial thing, and this kind of ordinary method was useless.

A faint starry light lit up in the old man's hand, and the old man continued to instill the mysterious power into the ancient books, and the original ancient books were covered with a layer of light, giving people a new feeling.

"Xuanli instillation! Sure enough, he is a martial arts powerhouse!" Ling Chen's heart was already a little unsettled, and he instilled Xuanli into the object, which was exactly what the martial arts period had comprehended, and the old man in front of him was indeed a world-class powerhouse in the martial arts period.

"It's over, it's over. The book is not coming back. Ling Chen had a helpless smile on his face, and he cried out in his heart.

The old man continued to instill Xuan Li into the ancient book, the light layer on the surface of the book became transparent, flashing a little bit of brilliance, as if there was a layer of light curtain, not long after, Xuan Li began to penetrate into the pages, the original simple and yellowed pages, gradually became white, but only slightly white, no matter how the old man instilled strength, the pages did not absorb the slightest Xuan power.

As the old man continued to instill Xuan Li, a trace of air began to appear in the air in the whole shop, and the old man also noticed this, if he continued to instill it, I am afraid that this shop pΓΉ would also be ruined.

"How is that possible!" the old man withdrew his hand, exhaled deeply, and muttered in confusion, "Could it be that the fire and the flood have destroyed the book?"

As the old man stopped instilling the Xuan Li, the Xuan Li that was still lingering on the ancient books began to dissipate, returning to its original and simple appearance.

Ling Chen looked at the scene in front of him, and only came back to his senses slightly until the Xuanli light curtain dissipated, his eyes staring at the ancient book in the old man's hand.

Looking at Ling Chen's eyes that were eager to grab the book, the old man smiled knowingly and said directly to the ancient book in his hand, "I wonder if Xiaoyou can sell this book to you?"

"I'm sorry, the kid has no intention of selling. Ling Chen said slightly apologetically, it is a very polite act to call yourself a kid in front of a strong person of the Martial Sect, after all, the cultivation gap is there.

"Boy, you really give you a shame, don't you?" Before the old man could speak, the handsome young man next to him said lightly.

"Did I ask you to speak?" the old man had just finished speaking, and the old man replied lightly, in a very flat tone, but with a little majesty.

"Yes, master. The young man stopped eating in an instant and stepped aside respectfully, but his eyes were full of malice when he looked at Ling Chen.

"The old man is willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold, I wonder if this price can satisfy Xiaoyou?" the old man said with a smile Ling Chen, his tone was full of kindness, and there was no majesty at all from before.

"Huh, 10,000 taels of gold, did I hear me right?" Fang Meng couldn't help but gasp and said in surprise.

"One ....... ten thousand taels!" Lao Mo stared at the book in Ling Chen's hand with a surprised face, he never thought that a broken book that he had thrown in the corner, after ten taels was bought by the young man in front of him, someone had not yet come out of the store to bid ten thousand taels of gold!

Liuhuo was also stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Ling Chen would spend ten taels of silver to buy a "broken book" in this small shop, but at this moment, someone offered such a high price, he thought that Ling Chen would definitely sell it without hesitation.

"I'm sorry old man, the small one really has no intention of selling. Ling Chen replied without hesitation, he guessed that the old man would offer a high price, and he refused directly without too many worries in his heart.

"Huh?" Fang Meng was surprised when he heard this, someone offered a book that was bought for ten taels and the gold was not sold at a price of ten thousand taels! Fang Meng looked at Ling Chen like a nervous person.

"Isn't it?!" Lao Mo couldn't help but exclaim, he looked at Ling Chen like a fool.

Liuhuo was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Ling Chen to be so decisive in refusing such a generous price.

"You inferior boy, you dare to be so rampant! 10,000 taels of gold is enough for you to use for a lifetime, don't take an inch!" The silver young man looked at and listened to Ling Chen's refusal, his whole face became a little hideous, and his tone revealed cruelty.

"Shut up!" the old man exuded the mystical power in his body, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty.

The man in white was startled, he knew that his master was really angry, and hurriedly retreated to the wall, with a look of awe. He originally wanted to take down this book for his master, but he couldn't understand why his master would yell at himself for a martial artist waste, and this time he added a bit of resentment to Ling Chen.

"Xiaoyou, the old man was insincere before, and I hope to forgive me, the old man is willing to give 50,000 taels of gold, and he really can't add it. The old man said to Ling Chen with a smile, his tone as harmonious as that of an elder to a junior.

Listening to the change in the old man's tone, he was still a little uncomfortable, but when he heard the old man bid 50,000 taels of gold, Ling Chen's face was incredible, and he stared at the old man directly, as if he had heard something strange.

"I... I'm a mother! Five... Wan Liang?!I heard you right?!" Fang Meng was so surprised when he heard the old man's bid that he even stammered. Although he was a mercenary, he also had nearly 10,000 taels of gold in his hands when he was rich, but it was the money of the entire mercenary group that his brothers worked hard for.

And a broken book that Ling Chen casually found could be sold for 50,000 taels of gold, which was still his own! Ling Chen was also the deputy head of their superior regiment, and he must have received a lot of dividends after selling it, and his eyes were blazing as he looked at Ling Chen, desperately hoping that he would agree.

Lao Mo heard the old man bid 50,000 taels of gold, he couldn't swallow it in one breath, and fainted directly to the ground.

Liuhuo was obviously stunned, 50,000 taels of gold was also very tempting to him, and besides, he was only selling a book so lightly, he was looking forward to Ling Chen's next decision.

"Sir, I'm also interested in this book, and I won't sell it. Ling Chen still didn't think about it, and replied without hesitation.

"Huh?!" Fang Meng was stunned when he heard this, and quickly shook his senses, but at this time, the eyes that looked at Ling Chen were no longer hot, but eager to eat him, and he called Ling Chen a loser in his heart.

Liuhuo was also completely shocked by Ling Chen at this moment, he never thought that Ling Chen would refuse without hesitation, you must know that 50,000 taels of gold is basically a small country's tax for a year, and he couldn't help but admire Ling Chen in his heart.

"Haha, it seems that Xiaoyou refuses to let go. The old man said with a smile on his face, but his voice was obviously much more beaten than before.

Ling Chen's heart tightened, he was afraid that the old man would do it, but when he thought that the old man was willing to bid to buy it before, he would definitely not rob him, even if he robbed him, he was helpless, his eyes looked at the old man.

Xiaoyou is young but has such a unique vision, and the old man admires it. It was the old man's fault to treat Xiaoyou as those secular martial arts cultivators before, and I hope Xiaoyou will forgive me. The old man said to Ling Chen with a smile, his tone revealing a little admiration.

The old man still said to Ling Chen with a harmonious and affectionate smile: "The old man can't understand the mystery, I wanted to bring it back to the sect and ask the sect master to take a look. However, this book belongs to Xiaoyou, and the old man can't force it, hoping that Xiaoyou can understand the mystery of the book. β€œ

The old man said and handed the book to Ling Chen, Ling Chen could feel that the old man did not maliciously reach out and take it, the ancient book, and made a salute to the old man.

Seeing that Ling Chen did not forget to give himself luggage, the old man nodded with a smile and satisfaction, but when the old man turned to look at the young man in white, his tone became stern: "You still don't leave?"

"Ahh The young man in white seemed to be thinking about something again, and suddenly came to his senses when the old man called him, and hurriedly followed the old man and walked towards the door.

Just as the two of them were about to leave the shop, the old man suddenly turned around and stared straight at Ling Chen with a strange smile on his face. I1387
