Chapter 1634: Chapter 845: Chen Xuan

At this moment, Lin Tianming was already contemplating all possible scenarios in his mind.

Then, Lin Tianming looked at the middle-aged man in disguise before him and asked directly.

“Fellow cultivator, how much for this item?”

Upon hearing this, the woman slowly opened her eyes and responded with an indifferent tone: “This map is neither for sale nor trade.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman closed her eyes again, seemingly unconvinced that Lin Tianming could meet her conditions.

Hearing this, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but smile.

To him, the matter was indeed quite interesting.

For according to her, the map was neither for sale nor trade, yet it was placed in front, perhaps implying some special requirements.

Otherwise, the woman wouldn’t need to take it out, nor display it at the booth.

However, the fact that she reacted this way upon meeting Lin Tianming might suggest she believed his cultivation realm couldn’t possibly meet her conditions.

Upon pondering a bit, Lin Tianming considered the possibility quite likely.

After all, the aura he was currently revealing was merely that of Foundation Establishment Seventh Level.

In contrast, this woman’s actual cultivation had reached the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, two levels higher than what he showed.

Given such a disparity, it seemed reasonable for the woman to underestimate Lin Tianming.

However, these were only some of Lin Tianming’s guesses.

Additionally, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but speculate whether this woman’s injuries might also be related to the map.

Following this logic, if her Foundation Establishment Ninth Level strength couldn’t unravel the secrets behind the map, it would be even less possible for Lin Tianming’s Seventh Level strength to do so.

Considering all these possibilities, Lin Tianming became even more intrigued.

Thus, hearing the woman’s words, instead of being displeased, he smiled and eased the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Immediately, Lin Tianming continued to ask: “Fellow cultivator, since the map is neither for sale nor trade, yet you still place it before you, what are the conditions?”

“If that is the case, feel free to speak directly!”

With a solemn expression and a serious tone, Lin Tianming said this, then looked seriously at the woman in front of him, a sense of confidence coloring his gaze.

Hearing this and seeing Lin Tianming’s serious demeanor, the woman paused slightly.

Afterwards, she seemed to trust Lin Tianming and transmitted her voice: “Fellow cultivator, I don’t know where your confidence comes from?”

“But since you’re so confident in obtaining this map, you must do one thing for me.”

Upon these words, the woman remained silent, earnestly watching Lin Tianming, as if to see how he would react upon knowing the condition.

Lin Tianming, hearing these words, maintained a calm demeanor, anticipating this point, thus his calmness.

Nonetheless, Lin Tianming feigned surprise.

“Oh?”

“What are the conditions? Feel free to speak directly, fairy!”

As these words were spoken, the woman’s expression slightly changed, her demeanor turned somewhat tense.

Clearly, she finally realized Lin Tianming had discerned her hidden cultivation realm.

Simultaneously, he also recognized her true identity as a woman.

Otherwise, Lin Tianming wouldn’t dare to call her fairy so rashly.

Achieving this indicated Lin Tianming’s profound cultivation and strong Divine Sense, at least at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm.

There’s even a significant chance he belongs to the Golden Core Stage Expert ranks.

If that’s true, then her recent attitude, even undisguisedly belittling, could provoke the enmity of a Golden Core Stage Expert.

Understanding this, the woman promptly expressed more respect, clearly showing caution towards Lin Tianming.

In such circumstances, after hesitating for a while, she voluntarily transmitted her voice: “No offense, fellow cultivator, I was abrupt earlier.”

“I am Chen Xuan, an independent cultivator, drifting frequently. For safety, I altered my appearance and hid my cultivation.”

“Moreover, I couldn’t discern fellow cultivator’s cultivation earlier, inadvertently offending you.”

“I hope fellow cultivator is magnanimous and forgives me.”

Upon finishing, the woman who introduced herself as Chen Xuan slightly bowed to Lin Tianming, her demeanor respectful, with a slightly fearful expression.

Conversely, Lin Tianming hearing this and seeing Chen Xuan’s appearance, waved his hand with a casual smile, showing no intention to pursue the matter.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan’s expression eased considerably, and she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Then, Chen Xuan sighed slightly, adjusting her demeanor.

Afterwards, she continued transmitting: “Regarding the conditions you asked earlier, it’s simply helping me with a matter.”

“As long as fellow cultivator lends me a hand and fulfills my objective, I will gift this map wholeheartedly and inform you of its specific function.”
