One hundred million silver could even buy many rare pills, and could at least make a martial king and raise his cultivation by several levels. Forget about a martial king, even Jing Lan would be reluctant to part with such a Martial King.

You Xiang said with good will: ”Di Chen, aren't you being too deceitful, I will help you talk inside, the price is too high.”

After she finished speaking, she angrily rushed in. To her, many martial arts techniques didn't require such a price. Why would a scholar's book need such a price?

You Xiang rushed in and shouted, ”Old man, it's just two books, but you only need a hundred million gold. Aren't you being too greedy?”

The old man did not even look at You Xiang as he continued to flip through the books in his hands.

Bai Xun scolded in anger: ”Those scholars from the academy only look at a little more than 10 taels of silver at most, but you, you actually want 1 million taels for two broken books, we warriors do not even need 1 hundred million taels, what right do you have to take it?”

The old man was too lazy to look at him and continued to read his book.

Seeing that the old man had ignored him, Bai Xun slapped the table heavily, just as he was about to curse angrily …

At this time, the old man suddenly raised his head, and looked coldly at Bai Xun.

Bai Xun only felt a gust of cold air entering his body, he was so scared that his expression changed, as though he had met some terrifying danger, and he swallowed his words back.

Jing Lan realized that the old man's strength was not ordinary and immediately bowed: ”Senior, we were being unreasonable just now, I hope senior will not bother with us.”

The old man calmed down and said, ”These two books are one hundred million taels. If you are willing to buy them, then buy them. If you are unwilling, then put them back. No one will force you to buy them.”

Jing Lan did not know whether this book was good or bad, or whether it was useful to the literati, but she looked at Di Chen and let him make the decision.

Di Chen calmly replied: ”We bought it …”

Then, he looked at You Qin and said, ”This one hundred million silver is yours to lend to me. I'll pay it back later.”

Seeing that Di Chen was no longer adamant, he took out a money pouch and said: ”Alright, here is one hundred million.”

”Idiot …” Bai Xun cursed in a low voice, he did not think that the book would have much use.

Di Chen gave the money to the old man, bowed to him, kept the two books and left. Jing Lan also clasped her hands in respect.

After exiting the library, Di Chen stopped and turned to say: ”This senior must be very extraordinary, I'm guessing that he is also a literati.”

Jing Lan also felt the terrifying aura of the old man a moment ago, and said: ”I really didn't think that such a terrifying person would be hiding here, I wonder what realm he is at.”

Ruo Yun was silent for a moment, then said: ”Who do you think is stronger between him and the old Sect Leader?”

Hearing that, everyone was startled, no one had any opinions, only a serious face, to be able to compare this old man with their Sect Leader, how strong could he be?

You Qin smiled and said: ”It isn't strange for there to be many hidden experts in the continent of martial arts, let's go, in a while, we will meet with those people. During this time, let Elder Di Chen cultivate and strive to break through the King Wen's six stages, then we can have more confidence.”

When that group of people were mentioned, they all had a solemn expression on their faces. It was obvious that everyone was extremely respectful towards that person.

”Let's not talk about this …” Jing Lan said: ”Di Chen, first, find a place to cultivate in the Scholar's Realm. It's best if you can break through King Wen's six stages within half a month.”

To break through a small realm in half a month's time was extremely difficult for Di Chen. Di Chen inwardly thought that since these fellows were so anxious to let him level up, they must have encountered some troublesome matters.

Afterwards, everyone brought Di Chen to an inn and arranged a room for him to cultivate.

In a certain guest room.

Ruo Yun looked at Jing Lan and asked: ”Are you preparing to let Di Chen compete with that person in You Qin's place?”

Jing Lan said with a grave expression on her face: ”You Qin's strength is not bad, but her time in cultivation is too short, I believe I cannot defeat that person, and cannot take the risk.

When You Qin heard this, she also laughed bitterly. In fact, she herself did not have the confidence to deal with that person, hence she agreed to what Jing Lan had done.

You Qin was worried: ”But Di Chen is not from our Nether Moon Sect, I'm afraid they will not agree.”

This was a problem. Jing Lan wanted Di Chen to fight in his place, but the problem was that he did not want Di Chen to know their identities.

Jing Lan could not think of a solution at the moment, so she said: ”Let's see, let's go, they must be waiting for us right now. You Qin, you will go with us, You Xiang, Bai Xun, you two stay behind.”
