Zhou Wen watched from the side for a while before finally understanding what Liu Yun and the old man were arguing about.
Liu Yun insisted on buying the old man's bronze sword, but the old man refused to sell it no matter what. One insisted on buying, while the other refused to sell. Hence, they quarreled.
It wasn't that the old man really wasn't selling, but that the old man insisted on using the bronze sword to exchange for a Mythical Companion Beast. Otherwise, he wouldn't sell it no matter how much money he offered.
The old man even said that his bronze sword was dug out from the Founding Emperor Tomb before the dimensional storms. It was the Founding Emperor's sword.
No one believed him. Even if it was really the Founding Emperor's sword, it wasn't worth much in this era. It was at most an antique.
However, the old man insisted on using the sword to exchange for a Mythical Companion Beast. It was unknown what Liu Yun was up to. He insisted on buying the sword, but he couldn't produce a Mythical Companion Beast.
Something's wrong. How can a thick-skinned fellow like Liu Yun buy a sword so honestly? It's even more impossible for him to make a ruckus here. If he really wants the sword, he should secretly steal it … What is this fellow trying to do? Zhou Wen thought to himself.
"I'll give you three Epic Bronze Man Companion Eggs in exchange for your sword. How about that?" Liu Yun said to the old man.
"I won't exchange even if you give me ten, much less three." The old man was very stubborn. He hugged the bronze sword and refused to let go. His neck was harder than a steel pipe.
When others heard that Liu Yun wanted to use three Bronze Man Companion Eggs to exchange for such a crappy bronze sword, they were alarmed.
"How about five? This is all I have, "Liu Yun said as he placed five Companion Eggs in front of the old man.
Everyone was alarmed when they saw this. There were very few locals who didn't know Bronze Man Companion Eggs. Even if they hadn't personally held them, they had definitely seen them.
The five Companion Eggs that Liu Yun took out were undoubtedly Bronze Men.
"Bro, you have five Bronze Man Companion Eggs. You can exchange them for anything good. Why do you insist on exchanging them for his crappy sword?" someone beside him said.
Everyone echoed. Bronze Man Companion Eggs were very famous, but there weren't many of them produced, so their prices were very high. To be able to take out five at once was something that even the elderly who had been setting up a stall here had never seen before.
"Nothing else. I just like that sword. I think it might be a treasure," Liu Yun said casually.
"Of course it's a treasure. If you want it, you can exchange it with a Mythical Companion Beast. Otherwise, it's useless no matter what you say," the old man said firmly.
Everyone felt that there was something wrong with Liu Yun and the old man's brains. Liu Yun was a prodigal, and the old man was a fool.
"Bro, I have a sword similar to his. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for five Bronze Man Companion Eggs." A burly man squeezed over and looked at the five Bronze Man Companion Eggs on the ground. He swallowed his saliva and said, "That's right.
"I want a treasure sword dug out from the Founding Emperor Tomb. Do you think I want any sword?" Liu Yun curled his lips.
"I don't like hearing that. This sword of mine was dug out by my great-grandfather from the Founding Emperor Tomb," the man hurriedly said.
"Really?" Liu Yun looked at the sword in his hand in disbelief.
Indeed, the two ancient swords were very similar. They were slightly different, but overall, they were likely works from the same period.
"Of course it's real. It's definitely more real than that old man's," the burly man said as he patted his chest.
However, the old man said coldly, "Don't be greedy. If you are greedy, you will suffer a huge loss. What's the point of buying a fake with five Companion Eggs?"
"Old man, who are you calling a fake? Yours is a fake, "the burly man said angrily.
However, Liu Yun laughed and said to the old man, "Old man, don't tell me you regret it? It's too late for you to regret it now. If I don't buy your sword, let's see who else will pay such a high price. "
With that said, Liu Yun pushed the five Companion Eggs towards the burly man and said to him, "Regardless of whether you are real or fake, I'll buy yours. Let that old bastard regret it."
The burly man was overjoyed as he hurriedly put away the Bronze Man Companion Egg. He was still worried, so he got someone to help him appraise it. After confirming that it was a Bronze Man Companion Egg, he handed the ancient sword to Liu Yun.
"Old man, take your time regretting it here," Liu Yun said as he left.
Zhou Wen put on the Invisibility Cloak and secretly followed.
Liu Yun didn't go to the town. He turned a corner and ran to a nearby forest. He sat on a tree root and smoked.
After a while, he saw the old man who had sold the sword sneak into the forest.
When Zhou Wen saw the old man, he immediately understood that the two of them were in cahoots. They had done so much to make the burly man sell his sword.
The burly man was a freelance hunter who had entered the dimensional zone. He wasn't a vendor. They definitely wanted the burly man's sword, but it wasn't convenient for them to buy it from Liu Yun. Therefore, they had set up such a trap.
What's that ancient sword? Is it worth Liu Yun spending so much effort on it? Zhou Wen secretly sized up the ancient sword in Liu Yun's arms.
"How is it? Is it real?" the old man asked Liu Yun after entering.
"That's right. It's real. With this sword, we can enter the Founding Emperor Tomb," Liu Yun said.
"Let me take a look," the old man said as he reached for the sword.
However, Liu Yun retracted his hand and didn't let the old man touch the sword. He said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we agree that I'll hold the sword and open the door? When we enter, we'll split the items equally. The sword is in my hands. Don't worry. There won't be any mistakes. "
"I'm just afraid that you will be cheated. I'm helping you see if it's the real Emperor Qin Sword," the old man said without a change in expression.
"I, Liu Yun, have been lying to others all my life. No one can lie to me. Don't worry." Liu Yun held the ancient sword and asked the old man, "When do we take action?"
"The sooner, the better. If you're ready, we'll take action tonight," the old man said.
"Alright, it's settled then. We'll meet outside the Founding Emperor Tomb tonight," Liu Yun said as he turned to leave.
The old man watched Liu Yun's back disappear before turning to leave.
Zhou Wen secretly watched the old man leave and fell into deep thought. He had a nagging feeling that the old man was somewhat familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before. However, he didn't seem to have any impression of his face and figure.
This old man … Could he be Jing Daoxian … An idea suddenly flashed in Zhou Wen's mind as he recalled why he felt a sense of déjà vu.
This was because the aura this old man occasionally revealed was very similar to Jing Daoxian's, but his appearance and figure were different.
It shouldn't be difficult for Jing Daoxian to change his appearance and figure. I think he's most likely Jing Daoxian. However, why is he with Liu Yun? Why do the two of them want to enter the Founding Emperor Tomb? Zhou Wen was filled with curiosity.
