Chapter 122 Real
Daoist Sun looked anxious.
"I am sure that the other half of this picture is most likely on a stall in the Casual Cultivator Market."
"Oh? What makes you so sure?" Henry became interested.
"Look at the tear on this map," Daoist Sun said, pointing. "Doesn't it look fresh?"
Henry examined the tear closely and saw that it was indeed recent. This suggested the missing half of the map might still be nearby, possibly in the same market.
Henry maintained his composure and asked, "How much are you selling it for?"
Daoist Sun raised a finger. "A thousand spirit stones."
"Goodbye," Henry replied flatly, cupping his hands as a gesture of dismissal.
Daoist Sun panicked. "Wait! How much are you willing to offer?"
"Ten spirit stones," Henry said firmly.
The audacity of the offer made Daoist Sun feel as though he'd been punched in the chest, but after a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly said, "Add just a little more, and I'll sell it."
"Ten spirit stones. Take it or leave it," Henry replied without budging.
Daoist Sun's chest heaved with frustration, but in the end, he threw the map at Henry and snapped, "Fine! Ten spirit stones it is!"
As Daoist Sun walked away clutching the spirit stones, Henry sighed inwardly, 'Did I just get scammed?'
The Clerk who was beside looked at Henry, "Sir, Henry did that man Scam us of 10 Spirit stones."
Henry didnt say anything but he glanced at the map closely.
But as he held the map, a faint golden gleam caught his eye.
"Hmm?" Henry expression instantly turned serious.
"What is it, Sir Henry?" The clerk asked curiously.
Henry scrutinized the map closely, using his spiritual senses to scan it repeatedly, but found nothing unusual. Doubt crept in. Was he mistaken?
Yet, he quickly shook his head. He was certain he had seen a golden light earlier.
"Close the door and Call Boss" Henry ordered, his tone low and firm.
Hearing this the Clerk Became serious and rushed outside while closing the door.
Time passed as Henry looked towards the Map.
A few moments later, Luis and the group arrived under the guidance of the Clerk.
"What is it Henry?" Oliver quickly closed the shop's door and activated a soundproofing formation.
"Knight Commander, there is something wrong with this map." Henry handed over the map.
Oliver also narrowed his eyes, he also saw a gleam of golden light. More Clearly than Henry.
"Xiao Wei, use a small flame to burn it. Don't let the fire grow too big," Oliver instructed.
"No"

Zhou Main City, Casual Cultivator Market.
Wu's Inn.
Daoist Sun came out of the Hartmann Flying Sword shop, turned many corners along the way, and only stopped in front of the Wu Inn after making sure that no one was following him.
He walked to a guest room with ease and knocked on the door.
"You're back?"
As the door opened, a tall, thin, pale-faced middle-aged cultivator, whose cultivation level was as high as the ninth level of Qi Refining, was seen sitting cross-legged on a warm jade cushion in the guest room.
The pale-faced cultivator glanced up at the Daoist Sun and asked, "Did you succeed?"
Daoist Sun bowed and replied, "Brother, I have done everything you asked me to do. The bait has been delivered, and we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait."
As he spoke, Daoist Sun narrated what had just happened.
After he finished his narration, he couldn't help but complain, "This kid from the Store is really stingy. I spent a lot of effort to make that treasure map, but he only gave me ten spirit stones."
As he spoke, Daoist named Sun took out the spirit stone.
The pale-faced cultivator glanced at it and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the bait has been spread, and we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait."
"Our, Ancestor will take action against them."
Hearing this, Daoist Sun seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing his brother's puzzled expression, the Pale faced man glanced at him and said, "You and I are brothers from the same mother. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."
Hearing this, Daoist Sun cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I don't quite understand. Since we want to rob this family, why don't we just loot them halfway, or just sell the complete treasure map to them?"
"You are just too reckless, otherwise why would we have to hide from Yangzhou Prefecture to Guang'an Prefecture."
The pale faced man shook his head.
"The Flying Battleship of the Zhou family in Guang'an Prefecture have been patrolling the safe waterway in the sea to ensure the safety of passing merchant ships. Although we can intercept them halfway, we will encounter uncontrollable risks. We are seeking wealth, not risking our lives."
After a pause, he continued to explain, "As for what you said about directly selling the complete treasure map to the other party."
At this point, the pale faced man laughed, "You know what? Almost everyone in the world thinks they are smart. Do you know what the biggest shortcoming of smart people is?"
Daoist Sun shook his head blankly: "I don't know."
"The biggest shortcoming of smart people is that they only believe what they see with their own eyes and what they think. Smart people are naturally wary of things like pie in the sky. What I have to do next is to eliminate their vigilance."
Pale Faced Man talked eloquently.
"Brother, I don't understand these. Anyway, I will do whatever you say, hehe!"
Daoist Sun said with a simple and honest look.

Seeing this, the pale faced man smiled and shook his head.
