Going to the different stalls, Lin Fan was able to get quite the big haul from them.
Using the same trick each time, he was able to get all of the items that he wanted without raising any suspicion.
There were some that treated him as an easy mark and there were some that treated him with sincerity. Lin Fan was able to easily distinguish between who treated him in what manner, so he knew who to befriend.
Once he felt that he had bought enough, he stopped going to stalls and went to a hidden corner to have a closer look at the items that he had gotten.
The first item that he got, the stone that looked like a pile of shit.
Blizzard Jade
A jade that is filled with a powerful ice energy that formed over thousands of years in the frigid cold. Has the ability to continuously release powerful ice energy.
This was a stone that had a jade inside of it that no one knew about.
As long as he cut the stone and released the jade, he would be able to obtain a large amount of ice energy.
While he didn’t know just how pure this jade was, he was certain that it wouldn’t be that weak since it was considered powerful by the Appraisal Eyes. The Appraisal Eyes didn’t give this kind of evaluation that easily.
He could even imagine how that handsome middle aged man would feel if he knew about this.
Though he would never actually tell him about this.
The second item was the one that he had gotten from the stall that treated him sincerely.
This was a broken piece of metal that didn’t seem like it could be used at all.
Dragon Echo Fist
That was the name of the cultivation technique that was sealed inside of this broken piece of metal.
This was a very common trope in the cultivation world, where a normal looking piece of metal was used to store a powerful cultivation technique passed down by some expert. But Lin Fan definitely never expected this to actually happen to him.
This cultivation technique was one that could reach the Soul Formation Realm. After that, it would depend on the talent of the one who cultivated it to see if they could reach a higher realm.
As for what this cultivation technique did, it released a fist that would be like a dragon’s roar.
This wasn’t just a show of how powerful that fist would be, it was also literally a dragon’s roar that would be generated when this cultivation technique was used.
This was definitely a powerful technique that could be put in the Love Sect’s library.
There were many other items that were picked by Lin Fan that were all considered treasures, but there were two things that caught his attention.
One was an item that seemed to be some kind of brick.
He didn’t know what this thing was exactly since the Appraisal Eyes didn’t tell him much about it. The only reason that Lin Fan had bought it in the first place was because of one word that had appeared in the description of this brick. It was a word that had appeared at the very bottom of the description.
Indestructible.
He didn’t understand why the Appraisal Eyes would show him something like this, but it had piqued his interest.
Now that he was alone and he had finished checking his loot, he couldn’t help testing this thing.
Was it really as indestructible as the Appraisal Eyes said it was?
The first thing that Lin Fan did was throw the brick onto the ground as hard as he could.
He was just trying to smash the brick on the ground, but he found that it didn’t shatter at all. Rather, it created a large hole in the ground under him.
There had been stone tiles under him, but he found that instead of shattering the stone tiles, it went right through them. It was as if the brick had completely squashed what was under it and compressed it underneath.
This brick was anything but normal if it did something like this.
It was as if there was some kind of power that was suppressing everything that it hit.
When Lin Fan tried to pull the brick out of the ground, he found that he had no choice but to destroy the tile that was around it. The brick was so deeply embedded in that hole that he wasn’t able to grip it to pull it out of the ground.
Once it was out of the ground, Lin Fan held this brick in his hand and raised a palm before smashing his palm down on the brick.
He used all of the strength that he had to smash this brick, but he found that he wasn’t able to do a single thing to it. He wasn’t even able to leave a single mark on the brick.
In fact…it was his hand that started to hurt after hitting the brick like this.
It seemed that the system had been correct about this brick, it really was indestructible.
But why was it indestructible?
No matter how he looked at the brick, no matter how he scanned it with his spiritual sense, he wasn’t able to find a single thing special about this brick.
It just made no sense at all.
After staring at this brick for a bit, Lin Fan still put it away.
Since there was nothing that he could find out about this brick, then he wouldn’t force himself to try and find something. It was clear that there was some kind of secret with this brick and if it didn’t want to expose itself, there was nothing that he could do.
Lin Fan turned his attention to the second item that had caught his attention.
It was something that looked like a smooth stone. There was nothing special about this thing and it looked like nothing more than a trinket, but Lin Fan knew that it was anything but that.
His Appraisal Eyes had shown him the proper way of using this thing, so he did as the Appraisal Eyes had instructed him.
Lin Fan sent his spiritual sense into the stone, but he did it in a very specific way. He used his spiritual sense to surround the stone before sending it into the stone itself.
When he sent his spiritual sense in, he found that there was something there that hadn’t been there before. It was as if there was something sentient inside of the stone the whole time that had been avoiding his spiritual sense.
So when he wrapped his spiritual sense around the stone, it trapped that thing inside and allowed his spiritual sense to see what it was.
“This is…a map?”
He couldn’t tell where this place was just based on the map that his spiritual sense formed alone, but he could tell that the image that was formed by his spiritual sense was clearly some kind of map.
In the future, he would have to see if he could find where this place was, but for now…
There were other pressing matters that he needed to worry about right now.
But there was one thing about this smooth stone that was hard to forget…
What was the thing that was inside the stone that was able to avoid his spiritual senses like that?
If he hadn’t used his spiritual sense to trap it, then he wouldn’t have been able to find this map in the first place.
This strange thing almost seemed alive…
Could it be that this was the inheritance of some expert?
Though the last expert that had left their inheritance to them…
Lin Fan just put these items away and started walking around again.
He didn’t really have anything left to do, so at this point, he was just walking around aimlessly.
When he thought about returning to the gathering spot that they had set, Lin Fan suddenly heard something.
“You think that a third rate sect like yours could do anything here?”
It seemed that when young people were gathered, they couldn’t help losing their tempers like this. But there was a part of himself that seemed sad that he didn’t consider himself part of the young people.
After all, this body of his was still under twenty years old.
He was about to leave when he heard another voice.
This time, he couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows since he recognized this voice.
“Who do you think you are? You want to call our sect a third rate sect?”
When he turned in the direction of those voices, he found that there were already people gathering in that area. It seemed that the voices had drawn a crowd and they had all gathered to watch the fun.
But as a sect master, it wasn’t as if he could just join in the fun.
He had to think about his prestige.
So instead of going into the crowd with the others, he flew up into the air and watched from above.
As he floated there, he could sense two other auras that were there.
It seemed that there were other elders who were watching over this group as well.
As he had expected, one of the parties involved in this argument was from his Love Sect.
It was Xiao Ming’s group who was arguing with some other group.
With the way that the other group was dressed, it was clear that they were a bunch of young masters from another sect.
