Long Xiangtian felt something was strange. He didn't know why the old man brought these junk to the appreciation meeting and looked like he was very short of money. But if he was really short of money, why would he pay the fee to come here
"Xiangtian, why are you here?" The old man was still chattering, but Long Xiangtian had already been pulled away by Zhao Baimo with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Who is this old man?" Long Xiangtian became even more curious when he saw Zhao Baimo's look of disgust towards the old man.
"This..." Zhao Baimo hesitated for a moment and then told Long Xiangtian the old man's identity.
It turns out that the old man's name is Wei Zicheng, and his identity is quite special. His grandfather is a third-grade master of the Tongxuan realm, and he can be regarded as the overlord of a small world.
Therefore, Wei Zicheng was spoiled since he was a child, relying on his grandfather who was in Tongxuan realm to be ignorant and arrogant all day long. It can be said that he did all kinds of bad things, but his own cultivation was very low.
But the good times didn't last long. His grandfather once went out for a trial and broke into a forbidden area and never came out again, so his Wei family fell into decline. The Wei family, which used to be crowded with people, now only has some ruins left, which is very miserable.
Not only that, because Wei Zicheng had acted arrogantly before, he had offended many people. Before, those people did not dare to resist because of Wei Zicheng's grandfather, but once his grandfather died, these people naturally took revenge.
Originally, Wei Zicheng was doomed to die, but his father used a treasure of the Wei family in exchange for us to save his son's life, so the old man is still alive today.
Speaking of which, Wei Zicheng has been here for who knows how many years. Although he has become more restrained since that incident, he still has the habit of drinking and gambling. If it weren't for the Treasure Hunting Tower protecting him, he would have died countless times.
They didn't drive Wei Zicheng away back then because of the treasure. They didn't drive Wei Zicheng away later because they didn't want him to die tragically on the street at such an old age.
As for why he appeared here, even Long Xiangtian was a little amused. It turned out that he liked drinking and gambling, but the Treasure Hunting Tower only gave him enough silver to fill his stomach every month, which was not enough for his expenses. He had to find a way to make money.
He took a fancy to this annual treasure appraisal event. He had already sold all the precious things on him, so he started selling some junk, hoping to see if he could fool some fools.
Long Xiangtian was very helpless when he heard the news. It turned out that he was being treated as a fool again.
"Hey, hey, Zhao boy, how could you steal my business? I haven't even finished talking to my friend yet. I tell you, my friend and I hit it off right away. It's useless for you to spread rumors about me."
Only then did Wei Zicheng realize that Long Xiangtian, who was standing behind him, had disappeared. He hurriedly looked around and saw Long Xiangtian and Zhao Baimo standing together. He was shocked and hurriedly separated Long Xiangtian and Zhao Baimo, as if he was afraid that Long Xiangtian would run away.
When Zhao Baimo saw Wei Zicheng coming over, he scolded him directly and rudely: "Old Wei, do you think I don't know what kind of stuff you sell? I'm afraid you dug it out of the garbage dump and brought it here to cheat people."
When Wei Zicheng heard Zhao Baimo say this, his face immediately turned red and he looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that others would hear what Zhao Baimo said.
"Zhao Baimo, don't talk nonsense, when did I ever look through the garbage dump?" After saying that, he dragged Long Xiangtian into his shop and said to him, "Don't worry, little brother, I definitely didn't find these from the garbage dump. I, Old Wei, still have some integrity."
Long Xiangtian thought angrily: You were found in the garbage dump, or maybe you bought it from the second-hand market.
"Come, take another look at this. I dare say there is nothing more precious than this in the entire venue." Zhao Baimo rummaged for a long time before he pulled out a handful of dusty parchment with a lot of densely drawn lines on it.
When Long Xiangtian heard what the old man said, he naturally didn't believe it, but he couldn't resist the old man's "enthusiasm" and stuffed the parchment into his arms.
Long Xiangtian spread out the parchment and suddenly found that it was a map. He was shocked and thought that there were other maps of the tomb of Senior Jiuyou Reverend, so he quickly turned the map over and over to check it.
In the end, Long Xiangtian finally felt relieved. He was indeed too nervous. This map was completely different from the one he had discovered before. It was just a regular map that could be bought everywhere in Jiutian City.
However, what is slightly special is that this map is not of Jiutian City, but of a city called Mingcheng next to Jiutian City.
Speaking of Mingcheng, Long Xiangtian had only heard Shatuo mention it occasionally. Mingcheng was much smaller than Jiutiancheng in terms of economy and scale, but it could be considered a medium-sized city. After all, not every place could compare with Jiutiancheng.
This map is a map of the environment around Mingtu, but there is a wavy line drawn on a place called Wolong Mountain. I don’t know what it is.
"Look at this." Wei Zicheng saw that Long Xiangtian was stunned for a moment and thought that he was frightened by his map. Then he was ecstatic, but on the surface he still looked calm as he pointed at the wavy line on the map and said to Long Xiangtian.
"What is this?" Long Xiangtian looked confused, not knowing what special meaning this wavy line had.
"Of course it's a dragon." Wei Zicheng suddenly put on an air of a great master and said to Long Xiangtian, "It is rumored that there is a dragon corpse hidden here."
The corner of Long Xiangtian's mouth twitched violently. If he said it was a caterpillar, Long Xiangtian might believe it. Dragon? This Wei Zicheng was really good at making up stories. How could a legendary creature like a dragon be so ugly
Moreover, there is even a message "Produced by Lingshan Bookstore" in the lower left corner of the map. How could Long Xiangtian believe that there was a dragon corpse there
At this time, Zhao Baimo jumped out again and started arguing with Wei Zicheng. However, as more and more people looked at them, Zhao Baimo did not dare to continue arguing with Wei Zicheng. After all, Wei Zicheng could not care, but he still had to save face.
Zhao Baimo was about to leave by pulling Long Xiangtian, but Wei Zicheng stopped him and insisted that Long Xiangtian buy his map. He also kept bragging about how magical the map was, almost exaggerating it to be an ancient artifact.
In the end, in order to calm things down, Long Xiangtian had no choice but to follow Wei Zicheng's wish and spent some money to buy the map. He didn't need the money anyway, so he just considered it as treating Wei Zicheng to a drink.
