C44 (2/2)

”What is this?” However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he pointed to the few pieces of metal he had observed earlier and casually asked.

”I'm not sure.” The middle-aged man answered truthfully and added, ”I found it in an ancient monument and tested it with a blade and sword, but it was not damaged at all. That's why I brought it back.”

”If they're not damaged at all, then where did all these traces come from?” Cang Yun chuckled, but did not quite believe what the middle-aged man had said. He pointed to the scratches on the metal surface and asked.

”Those scratches were there when I picked them up. As for what I said, it's definitely the truth. If you don't believe me, you can test it on the spot.” Seemingly unwilling to lose Cang Yun, the big buyer, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

”There's no need to test it.” Cang Yun nodded his head, believing the middle-aged man's words. Of course, to him, it didn't matter if the middle-aged man was lying or not, as he had taken a fancy to the few pieces of metal because of the strange movement in his dantian, he was just curious, ”These few pieces of metals, in addition to the ten thousand dead vines in my hands, a total of 1000 gold coins. How about it?”

”This …”

”If you don't want to sell it, then forget it.” Seeing that the middle-aged man was hesitating, Cang Yun placed the ten thousand wilted vines on the ground and started to leave.

”Ai, wait. Ok, deal!” The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Cang Yun, clenched his teeth, and passed the ten thousand withered vine and several pieces of metal over.

”Happy cooperation.” Cang Yun received it with a smile. After which, he unhesitatingly took out a thousand gold coins, placed it into a cloth bag and threw it over.

”Hehe, little brother, you are indeed generous. Do you want to take a look and see if there's anything else you need?” The middle-aged man caught the bag of gold coins and counted it. Then, he revealed a satisfied smile as he smiled and said.

”No, you don't have the things I want here either.” Cang Yun shook his head with a faint smile. Indeed, other than the Ten Thousand Withering Vine, the rest of the items in the stall were of low quality. Naturally, he had no interest in them, so after finishing, he smiled towards Zhou Xian'er and the two prepared to leave.

”Wait.” However, the middle-aged man once again called out to the two of them.

”What's wrong?” Cang Yun frowned and spoke with slight displeasure.

”Heh, it's like this. I don't think the two of you have anything in mind here, so I want to recommend a place to you two. There are even more treasures there, so I'm sure that you two won't be disappointed.” Noticing that Cang Yun was a little angry, the middle-aged man smiled apologetically and quickly explained.

”Oh, where?” Cang Yun raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

He had been wandering around for a long time, but there were very few things that caught his eye. As a result, once he heard the middle-aged man's description, Cang Yun became interested.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled mysteriously before blinking his eyes and saying:

”I wonder if the two of you have heard of the underground market?”
