Thereâs also fifteen of the seven-color ones!
These many Great Dao flowers! If I sell them, at least it can bring in over a million Dao Source Stones.
Even more, it could be priceless!
Just thinking about how bulky his purse would be, Chen Changâanâs mood unconsciously turned jovial.
While continuing his work plucking herbs, he started to hum a ditty:
"Oh, thereâs a lonely well in the vast sky,"
"Stars falling, reflections in the distant eyes."
"The stream and springs add color to the blossoms,"
"On the solitary isle of pine and cypress, admiring the maple."
"The Wuling vines and orchids in the lonesome valley,
"The island of drink, where love becomes a dream...."
After humming for a while, Chen Changâan changed his tune.
This time the words slipped out, it was a theatrical tune.
"I asked the physician for a cure for lovesickness."
"The physician said:"
"Two liang of the Nine-Leaf Tower and a qian of silkworms on the winter solstice,"
"Stewed in last yearâs snow, it can cure the worldâs lovesickness."
"How does Nine-Leaf Tower bloom with only seven leaves, where do the silkworms come from on the winter solstice, how can snow last a year, and how can lovesickness be cured?"
"Who knows, huh??"
Chen Changâan was about to continue singing when he suddenly stopped short.
Because he suddenly noticed that someone had quietly appeared beside him.
It seemed to be an old man, who emanated a whiff of... sleaziness?
"Whoa! Old man, who are you?"
Chen Changâan turned his head and immediately spotted an old man with white hair and beard, looking at him with twinkling eyes.
His expression was a peculiar mix of a smile that did not reach his eyes, somewhat lecherous!
"You brat, after messing up my herb garden like this, and you are asking who I am?"
Not mentioning this earlier was fine, but as soon as Chen Changâan did, the old manâs face turned furious and started to scold him.
"What? Old man, youâre saying this herb garden is yours?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changâan was instantly filled with confusion before breaking into laughter:
"I was wondering why that thief just now dared to steal so openly,"
"Turns out itâs because this herb garden belongs to you, old man."
"Donât worry, old man, Iâve already chased off that thief."
"Stop it, boy."
In response to Chen Changâanâs words, the old man couldnât help but fume.
Throughout countless years, he had encountered many shameless people, but never had he met someone as audaciously cheeky as this boy.
Forget it, forget it, he would not hold a grudge.
"Boy, if you answer the question I just asked,"
"Then I wonât care about what happened to my herb garden, how does that sound?"
Chen Changâan blinked and asked:
"Old man, do you really mean that?"
The old man: "Rascal, of course what I said is true!"
"If you donât talk, or if what you say displeases me, I will tie you up, believe it or not!"
"A Faceless doesnât deceive another Faceless?"
"A Faceless definitely doesnât deceive another Faceless!"
Upon hearing the old manâs words, Chen Changâan heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, he thought he would have to put in a lot of effort into arguing his case, but it turned out to be quite simple.
Chen Changâan saluted the old man,
"I am the junior Chen Changâan, greetings, senior."
"The question just now, it was merely slip of the tongue, but since the senior has asked, this junior will answer."
"Little did one know, Xiaku is the Nine Leaf Tower, dig three feet into the ground, and cold cicadas appear...."
"Once the time of parting has passed, lovesickness can also be resolved."
"However, Xiaku is bitterly cold...last yearâs snow freezes people."
"Although lovesickness can be resolved, when the harsh and bitter cold enters the throat, it feels as though oneâs guts are being severed..."
"Even when you look back, a white head also remains unsolvable."
Chen Changâan explained everything carefully.
Respecting the old and cherishing the young is a virtue of the Chinese.
Faced with an elderâs questioning, Chen Changâan naturally did not mind discussing the matter.
Hmm, definitely not because he couldnât beat him!
"However, how can Xiaku be bitterly cold? ... How could last yearâs snow freeze people?"
Hearing Chen Changâanâs words, the old man fell into deep thought as if he was remembering something.
He kept murmuring and chewing over the words Chen Changâan had just said.
He seemed to have gained some insight, but also seemed somewhat perplexed.
Thinking of this, the old man jolted out of his contemplation,
and prepared to ask Chen Changâan about the meaning behind his words again.
But, when his gaze fell on Chen Changâan again, he exploded with rage.
"Boy, stop, stop for me!"
At this moment, Chen Changâan was no longer in the spot he was just now.
Instead, he was holding several boxes and was once again busily digging in the herb garden!
The old man felt as if his anger would make his blood boil.
This boy, he clearly looks like a scholar, but his actions.
Verily shameless, verily shameless!
"Huh? Old man, youâve recovered so quickly?"
After hearing the shouts, Chen Changâan turned to look at the old man and asked in surprise.
However, his hands didnât stop moving.
In the time it took to say a few words, another Great Dao flower had been pocketed by him.
"You...!"
Upon seeing Chen Changâanâs blatant actions, the old man was even more infuriated, to the point of almost purposefully fluffing his beard and glaring.
Having lived for so long, the anger he felt today surpassed the sum of his entire lifeâs frustrations!
Forcing himself to calm down, the old man directly asked:
"To my understanding, a person could only use one Great Dao flower in his lifetime."
"You, boy, taking one is enough, why do you need to bring so many?"
"To sell for money." Chen Changâan responded without any hesitation.
"You, an almost Great Sage level Great Scholar, who has more than one type of âHao Ran Heavenly Dao Protectionâ, you telling me youâre broke?"
Hearing this, the old man was rendered speechless.
He had figured out Chen Changâanâs identity, and he also noticed the overwhelming righteousness emanating from Chen Changâanâs body.
In addition to this uprightness, he saw another terrifying thing within Chen Changâanâs body.
Void God circling the heavens!
The Void God circling the heavens was something that the hypocritical old fart from the past never understood.
But now it had appeared on this young boy.
Are you telling me that such a boy would be short of money?
You must be joking.
"Here, my wallet is all here."
"If you can find ten thousand Dao Source Stones, Iâll give you a million."
Without any further ado, Chen Changâan threw over all the Space Rings he had on him.
The old man picked it up and checked it, his mouth twitching.
This boy was actually a pauper!
In those space rings, forget about Dao Source Stones, there was not even a single mouse!
"Alright, consider it as my debt to you, give all these to you."
"Besides, where I live thereâs also some Saint Medicines planted, if you want them, just take them too."
"After all, I canât carry these myself."
"However, I only have one requirement, donât destroy my herb garden again."
"Also, stop calling me old man, Iâm not used to it."
"My name is Shen Xuzi, just call me that."
Shen Xuzi tossed the Space Ring to Chen Changâan and spoke.
