Lin An eagerly wanted to introduce his sister to Chu Nan, while sneakily glancing at Zheng Yao, revealing a hint of craftiness.
Seeing this, Zheng Yao inexplicably thought to herself, "Why do I feel that Lin An is deliberately stopping ?"
Although she had such suspicions, Zheng Yao had no evidence and even if she did, she couldn’t control others, so she could only sigh secretly and comfort herself with the thought that there would be opportunities in the future.
Hearing that Lin An wanted to introduce his sister to him, Chu Nan hurriedly refused.
With Lin An having such a full beard, he really couldn’t imagine what his sister would look like.
Lin An, however, wasn’t disappointed by this; instead, he led the two through the alleys. As more and more people gathered around, Chu Nan also found the street becoming wider.
And not far ahead, a huge archway could be seen, with a plaque hanging above it, inscribed with the three gilded words "Ancient Treasure Street".
Looking around, Chu Nan realized that Ancient Treasure Street had an aura unmatched by other places. Even auspicious clouds gathered above it, showcasing its extraordinariness.
Zheng Yao also showed an interested expression, carefully examining the surroundings.
After passing through the archway, the appearance of Ancient Treasure Street was presented before them—a main road ten zhang wide, almost filled with people.
On both sides of the main road were stalls stretching as far as the eye could see, each stall manned by a seemingly very old martial artist.
On the stalls lay a variety of rare treasures, so radiating brilliant light, others looking like re scrap tal.
Even ordinary items placed here exuded a vaguely mysterious charm.
At this mont, Lin An also introduced it to Chu Nan and Zheng Yao.
"This place is called Ancient Treasure Street. It was personally overseen by the Mansion Master of Cyan Profound Mansion, occupying a full tenth of the Cyan Profound Mansion, with 308 shops. It’s the most prosperous place in all Cyan Profound Mansion."
Hearing this, Chu Nan was taken aback. To occupy a tenth of Cyan Profound Mansion, the strength of this area must not be underestimated.
"We are now only in the outskirts, with very few shops, mostly stall vendors."
"But don’t underestimate these stalls. Many items sold here co from an ancient secret realm. Although most are useless items, they can be bought with money. If you reach the inner area, even thousands of gold would not be enough to get a single item there."
"You need to use other equivalent items for exchange."
Chu Nan nodded in agreent. Before coming to Cyan Profound Mansion, Chen Kaiyang ntioned that after reaching the Yang Wheel Realm, ordinary money was almost useless to martial artists.
If one wanted to obtain treasures needed by Yang Wheel Martial Artists from others, they needed to use a treasure called Essence Stones.
Such precious Essence Stones were not many even with Chen Kaiyang, who said that the total number of Essence Stones in the entire Cyan Mountain Sword Sect was less than a hundred!
Often they were only used at the most critical tis.
So Chen Kaiyang didn’t bestow any.
"There must be so conditions to enter the inner area, right?" Chu Nan asked Lin An.
Lin An nodded, "Outsiders need at least to be at the Yang Wheel Realm to enter the inner area. We are fine just staying in the outskirts."
"Don’t think that the treasures in the outskirts are inferior to those in the inner area; there’s a unique opportunity here!"
"Because the items here all co from an ancient secret realm. Who knows, one seemingly scrap item might turn out to be an invaluable treasure. Even so Yang Wheel visitors co here occasionally to try their luck."
Hearing this, Zheng Yao imdiately said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s take a look."
Lin An led the way, and Chu Nan and Zheng Yao followed, their eyes scanning the stalls.
"Young man, take a look at this Spirit Martial, it’s from an ancient secret realm. Though it’s a damaged piece, it might contain ancient heritage, don’t miss out!"
"Don’t believe him, young man, this old chap is bluffing. Look at my Secret Technique. If you can comprehend it, your future achievents will be limitless!"
"Look at mine, hurry, look at mine!"
As Chu Nan and the others passed by the stalls, the vendors, upon seeing unfamiliar faces, imdiately pounced like hungry wolves, eager to take advantage.
Zheng Yao, listening to their spiels, was dazzled, feeling that everything here might be a treasure!
Lin An reminded, "Chu Nan, and this senior sister, keep your eyes open. These vendors are experts at tricking newcors, be careful not to buy fake goods."
Chu Nan wasn’t worried about this as he had Kui Guang to assist him; there was no way these vendors could deceive him.
Yet, Kui Guang did identify so good items among the stalls, though they were of little use to Chu Nan.
At this mont, a beggar-like, gray-haired old man stopped Chu Nan, holding a book without a cover, and said, "Young man, take a look at my peerless cultivation technique. It may look a bit tattered, but it’s truly a good item!"
"If it weren’t for a family mber falling ill, I would never sell it. If you miss this chance, you’ll regret it for a lifeti!"
The old man’s words drew raucous laughter from so vendors.
So martial artists spectating said helplessly, "Old man, if you want to con soone, at least wrap the book in gold trim to make it look the part."
"Don’t really think all newcors are fools."
The old man’s "treasure" was so shoddy that many vendors couldn’t help but comnt.
Everyone was scamming, but your cost is too low!
Just when everyone thought Chu Nan would dismiss the old man, he suddenly asked, "How much are you selling this cultivation technique for?"
This question surprised everyone watching.
Zheng Yao tugged at Chu Nan, saying, "Junior brother, this cultivation technique obviously looks fake. Even if it’s real, it probably isn’t precious, don’t be impulsive."
Lin An also advised, "Chu Nan, don’t trust this old man. I’ve seen him selling cultivation techniques since I was a child, and those who bought from him regretted it desperately. Don’t fall for it."
But the old man was delighted, holding up five fingers, saying, "Not much, just 500 gold tickets!"
"500 gold tickets, old man, why not just rob soone!" Hearing the old man’s price, Big Beard Lin An was completely angry.
Zheng Yao also advised, "Junior brother, if you feel sorry for this old man and want to help him, just give him so silver coins, but don’t spend 500 gold for a joke."
Chu Nan’s lips curled into a smile, saying, "It’s alright, even if I’m scamd, I’ll just take it as a lesson."
Though he said this, he was utterly convinced that the old man’s item was genuinely good.
Because it was judged by Kui Guang!
"Chu Nan, this Secret Technique will greatly aid you, do not miss it, buy it imdiately!" Kui Guang urged with so urgency.
Chu Nan understood, although 500 gold tickets was no small amount, a Secret Technique praised by Kui Guang would certainly be extraordinary.
So he took out 500 gold tickets and handed them to the old man, saying, "I’ll buy the Secret Technique."
