"One thousand? It's expensive!" Lee Yifann frowned. The book he picked up was a very ordinary book. Although it was an ancient book, it was at most a few dozen pieces. One thousand dollars was simply an exorbitant price.
The stall owner immediately put on a stern face. "Young man, this is not right, right? This is an ancient book! It's at least three to four hundred years of history, yet you don't recognize it? If it were someone else, they would have bought it long ago and kept it well!"
" Boss, I know this is an ancient book, but don't take me for a fool. " Lee Yifann smiled and pointed at the words on the cover of the book. "Look, this book is called Saitama. I don't know how many translated words there are now. Even if it was an ancient book, it would only cost a few dozen yuan. Although it's an ancient book that can increase the price a bit, how much can this type of common goods increase? If not for the fact that this book was an ancient book and had a certain collection value... I'm too lazy to buy it!"
His words immediately caused the stall owner's face to turn red. He felt awkward writing in big letters.
He originally thought that Lee Yifann was a brat who did not know anything, but who knew that he was an expert?
The ancient books were also divided into levels. The value of the preserved ancient books was higher than the value of the incomplete ones. The rare ancient books were far more valuable than the mass printed cabbages.
The book in Lee Yifann's hand was not a lone book that was sold by some famous ancient families. It was a copy that many people copied later on. It was not worth much. One thousand yuan was actually enough to buy more than three to four books.
"Boss, how about this? It's not easy for you to set up a stall here. I do want to buy a few ancient books to collect for fun." Lee Yifann chuckled and picked up the Picture of Anecdote of Mountains And Rivers. Then, he picked up another book. "I'll buy two more. I'll give you one thousand yuan for these three books. This way, you can earn some money, and I'll be happy to have fun. What do you think? "
The vendor opened his eyes wide and glanced at the three books. He felt that they were all relatively ordinary books and agreed without a second thought. "Alright! Deal!"
Lee Yifann smiled and took out his wallet. He paid 1,000 dollars and left with the books.
"Which family's silly child? I received an old book for five dollars from the raggedy place, but it was sold for one thousand dollars!"
"Idiot who doesn't know what's good for him. He can't even tell what's good for him. 1,000 dollars... He's making a huge profit!"
Both of them cursed each other in their hearts for being stupid.
The stall owner thought that he had earned a huge profit, while Lee Yifann secretly scolded the other party for not knowing what was good for him and for picking up the leftovers for him.
Lee Yifann came to a corner where there were fewer people and flipped through the Picture of Anecdote of Mountains And Rivers. On the surface, this book was a book that recorded many supernatural stories. However, he could tell that those supernatural stories were clearly the stories of warriors.
He also discovered that the material of this book was very special and very tough. In particular, the words on the page gave off an elegant and agile feeling. It was far from the words that should be found in an ancient book.
"Try using the Vital Qi." Lee Yifann's mind moved, and he quietly circulated the Vital Qi to pour it into the book. Soon, he was surprised to find that the words on the ancient book seemed to come alive, and they were emitting a faint light.
"It's actually the Profound Spirit Paper!" A sharp light shot out from Lee Yifann's eyes. He was extremely happy in his heart.
The so-called Profound Spirit Paper was a piece of paper made from a plant that contained rich natural spiritual energy. This kind of paper would contain a certain amount of spiritual energy, and it could also carry the Vital Qi. It was a very precious treasure.
When Lee Yifann discovered this' Picture of Anecdote of Mountains And Rivers ', he only felt that the story recorded in it was not ordinary. Later on, he found that the words were very different from the ancient books, and he didn't expect it to be a Profound Spirit Paper. According to the memory of the Heritage of Medical Saint, in ancient times, the Profound Spirit Paper was used by martial artists to record powerful martial arts or important ancient books. Paper that could only be used was very rare.
In other words, the story recorded in the Picture of Anecdote of Mountains And Rivers was probably extraordinary.
Lee Yifann circulated the Vital Qi again and poured it into the other two books. When he found that there was no reaction from the other two books, he could not help but feel disheartened, "Looks like I was thinking too much. I thought that these two books could also be made from Profound Spirit Paper."
After a moment, he could not help but laugh, "I was really too greedy, to be able to find an ancient Profound Spirit Paper book. It was already something that could only be chanced upon by luck. No matter how greedy he was, a man's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant. When I go back, I need to study this Picture of Anecdote of Mountains And Rivers."
After carefully keeping the book close to his body, he started to walk around on the drawings again.
"When will the temple fair end this time?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"How can I not be anxious? The competition is about to begin. I heard that there will be a lot of heavyweights coming out this time. It will definitely be very exciting!"
"The martial arts competition will start tomorrow. What are you anxious about? Before the temple fair is over, do you think that with so many people, the competition will be able to continue? "
"Oh, it will only start tomorrow. It made me excited for nothing."
"Tch! I think you are planning to make use of this competition to make a big profit, right? Tell me, who did you bet on?"
" The bet hasn't even started yet. This time, the three big shots of Luzhou City have all brought their men to participate in this competition. There must be a lot of experts here. It's too hasty to bet now. If I make a mistake, I will suffer a terrible loss! "
"Look at you! Aren't you afraid of losing? Why do you say it so nicely? "
" Aren't you afraid of losing too? Same here! "
"When the bets start tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be quite a number of people. Looks like the competition this time will be too eye-catching!"
"That's not the case. I heard that many people who are competing in martial arts have come. There will be a good show to watch!"
Along the way, Lee Yifann heard many people discussing the competition.
"Chang Sanshi's ticket is pretty big. He even let ordinary people participate. It seemed like he had the confidence to win. He wanted to take down the other two opponents in one go. At the same time, he wants to create momentum for himself!" Lee Yifann immediately understood Chang Sanshi's intention.
Chang Sanshi organizing a martial arts competition was definitely not simply to compare who was better. It was to suppress Dou Shuide and Yu Jie through a huge gamble. He was going to make both of them lose terribly. Of course, just winning wasn't enough. In the Luzhou City, in terms of reputation and status, Chang Sanshi couldn't even be compared to Dou Shuide. Even if he could defeat Dou Shuide... If there weren't many witnesses, or if their reputation wasn't great enough... He wouldn't be able to replace Dou Shuide's position.
So, let ordinary people participate in this competition. Obviously, he wanted to use these ordinary people to create momentum. Once Chang Sanshi won... After spreading the news through these people, he would become the undisputed king of Underground World of Luzhou City.
It had to be said that Chang Sanshi had a good plan.
However, Lee Yifann felt that Chang Sanshi's actions were too risky. Did Chang Sanshi not know that the prerequisite for doing so was that he could win? What if he lost? Then, not only did he want to replace Dou Shuide's reputation and status, but also his current status and reputation. He would also lose everything.
"Since this ticket is so big, I will accompany you to the end!" Lee Yifann walked around the temple fair once more and then left.
