Chapter 195 (2/2)

Lin Fan squatted in front of the stall. He looked at the worn-out and old things on the ground and asked, “How do you sell these things?”

The stall owner was an old man with missing teeth, dressed very plainly, and when he smiled, the missing front teeth were somehow funny, “Little brother, feel free to look around, then tell me which one you like, and I’ll tell you the price. Don’t worry, I’ve been setting up a stall here for decades, and I’m known for being good. I will never trick you.”

Lin Fan felt like he was inside an antique market; you judged everything with your eyes.

“Can I touch it?” Lin Fan asked.

“Feel free to touch it, as long as it’s not broken, there won’t be a problem.” The old man’s eyes were disappearing as he smiled.

There were nearly dozens of seemingly old antique items scattered on the stall. According to the street vendor’s idea, it would be hard to attract attention if you didn’t make it looked old.

Lin Fan picked up a palm-sized stone with moss marks, pointed it at the sun, and observed it carefully. He discovered that when he pointed it at the sun, the stone seemed to have stars inside it, twinkling.

“Little brother, this is something that I got from an ancient monument, the Nine Deaths Life. I showed it some people who could see through it, and they said it was definitely a treasure. I just don’t know what it is, but if you buy it, you might be able to get something good out of it.” The old man was smiling like a profiteer.

He saw that Lin Fan looked so young and still had a hint of naivety. With good bragging, he would definitely be able to fool Lin Fan into buying it.

Lin Fan put down the stone, “This is a Star River Stone, the origin of star river, belongs to a rare river, although this is peculiar, it’s not something good.”

“Hey, you are such an expert, I spent three spirit stones to get this, I didn’t expect it to be worthless, it’s a pity.” The old man said.

Lin Fan said, “Didn’t you just say you got it from an ancient monument?”

“Little brother, how can you attract guests if you didn’t brag. Why don’t you look at something else? I have a lot of good things here; you will definitely not lose any money if you buy it.” The old man was quite shameless, but the face that had been tempered for a long time was not ordinary. In a blink of an eye, he changed the subject and talked about something else.

Lin fan was not anxious to leave the stall, and when looking at the old man stuff, he found out that only one item that seemed to be slightly valuable.

It was a broken piece of iron.

There were lines on the iron block, but there wasn’t a trace of qi. It was just like broken copper, but if you ran your qi through it, the qi would activate it. It was a shattered piece of dao artifact, but Lin Fan didn’t care for them, they were too small, too useless, and would only take up space.

Ahem!

The smiling old man suddenly coughed, his face flushed red. Obviously, he was hurt.

Then, a wild kid came from nowhere, running to the old man and patted his back gently.

After asking some questions, Lin Fan learned that this wild kid was an abandoned baby. The old man adopted him when he was receiving his goods in the mortal world nine years ago.

As for the injuries on his body, it was from a long time ago. He needed to buy an elixir to heal it. It was just that his own spirit stones were not enough, so he could only accumulate them slowly.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and pointed at the iron block, “You want me to buy this iron for fifty spirit stones, but I don’t like it, so I’ll show you a way. This is not an ordinary piece of iron, but a fragment of a dao artifact with six complete formations inside.”

“According to its current value, it should sell for 600 to 1,000 spirit stones.”

The old man was shocked by what Lin Fan said. Obviously, he didn’t expect Lin Fan to say that.

There were some doubts in his heart, whether it was true or not?

If it were true, why didn’t he buy it instead of telling him?

“Little brother, you must be joking, how can this be…”

The old man didn’t get to finish his words.

Lin Fan flicked his finger, a ray of qi seeped into the iron block, instantly activating the formation inside.

Suddenly, the originally lightless iron block exuded the light that a dao artifact should have. The movement wasn’t too big, but it still attracted many people.

“If you sell this one, you should be able to buy an elixir, this child is still young, Someone has to take care of him.” Lin Fan got up, a smile formed at the corner of his mouth, then walked away from the stall.

The old man opened his mouth and looked at the back that was fading away.

“Big brother, thank you.” The child shouted.

Lin Fan waved his hand and walked into the crowd.

Immediately after, the surrounding cultivators gathered around and asked about the price of this dao artifact fragment.

Although it was just a fragment, it was still valuable, mainly because the materials inside the formation could be refined into something else when it met an alchemist.

It could also be mixed into other materials to refine a new dao artifact.

So, there should be a few immortals who wanted to get it.

Lin Fan wasn’t interested in these fragments. What he wanted was a complete dao artifact.

Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling of heaven and earth falling upon him.

Could this be it was the virtue of doing good deeds?

‘Forget it. A good man doesn’t live long, but his misfortune will last a thousand years.’

He still liked to be a low-profile, cute, and live a happy life.

But to be able to live for a long time is a good thing.

And that was the truth in Lin Fan’s heart that only God knew.

Then the strange feeling was gone.

“Bah! God damn it! Such a cheapskate.”

Lin Fan cursed in his heart; it was just a little thought, why is he so cheap.

…………

Later.

Lin Fan was checking out the vendors everywhere. If he wanted something good, he had to check for the big leak, but the chance’s too low for him to come across several good things.

Even when he did encounter good things, he wouldn’t know how much it would cost.

He also had a piece of ‘Innate Spirit Vein Crystals’ with him, which was why he came here. It was useless for him, so if he could find a more suitable dao artifact, he would buy it instead.
