Who will the flower fall to?

"Really?"

Wang Youyun's eyes held a hint of suspicion, and the onlookers exchanged glances, admitting that most of them didn't believe it either.

However, since they were here to buy lottery tickets, they might as well take a gamble on who they bought. It was with this mindset that they dared to bid.

This was why, despite the lively scene earlier, only the items on the right, priced at ten spirit stones, had been sold. None of the items on the left, priced at thirty spirit stones, had attracted any buyers.

"As fellow Daoists have said, we do business with integrity," Lin Chang'an said, glancing around at the crowd. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "There are only twenty-three people on this side. If a Daoist friend were to buy them all and find them to be fake, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?"

Wang Youyun sneered, "How come I heard the Great Sword Sect is preparing to establish itself as a righteous and reputable sect? This business isn't just yours, Baldy Zhang, is it?"

"Tsk, it seems some people want to use the sect's name to pull off a quick scam," Wang Youyun narrowed his eyes, scanning the crowd. He was practically telling everyone that something was fishy here.

Zhang Qing, who was seated at the table, was instantly enraged. His eyes widened in anger as he slammed his palm on the table, shouting, "Wang Youyun, do you really think everyone is as shameless as you are!"

"What, are you angry because I hit a nerve?"

It seemed Zhang Qing and Wang Youyun had a significant feud. However, Lin Chang'an frowned, looking at the people around him. If this continued, this deal... no!

If these people couldn't find good buyers, it would be a disaster. He simply couldn't stand to see people suffer.

"Everyone."

Lin Chang'an smiled and cupped his hands towards the crowd, ignoring the bickering between Zhang Qing and Wang Youyun.

"There are only twenty-three of them here, not many, not few. Those interested can pool their resources and buy them all at once. We'll verify them on the spot. For every falsehood, we'll compensate ten times the price!"

His final sentence was filled with conviction, instantly causing the onlookers to change their expressions.

Could there really be a big catch? An alchemist! Even though they knew this was a low-level one, and even if it were true, their talent would surely be limited. But it was definitely worth the price!

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you truly have an alchemist here?"

Someone in the crowd hesitated before voicing the question in their mind. Lin Chang'an cupped his hands with a serious expression, "The situation of this alchemist is not a secret. Let me give you all some details."

"Qi Refining third layer, proficient in refining Bigu Pills, Qi Condensation Pills, and others. They are a bit older, thirty years old. But you can rest assured, their mind and body are perfectly normal."

After Lin Chang'an's guarantee, the crowd erupted in discussion, many murmuring to themselves.

"It seems this isn't a one-off deal."

"Nonsense, if they dare to say that, it must be true. But this alchemist's talent has probably reached its limit."

"Hmph, if they had real potential, would they be willing to sell?"

As the crowd buzzed with speculation, many began to form groups and communicate. Wang Youyun, who had come to cause trouble, saw this and his expression changed. The next moment, he ignored Zhang Qing.

"Count me in. Are any fellow Daoists willing to join?"

However, before Wang Youyun could finish speaking, Zhang Qing sneered, "Wang Youyun, you really are persistent. You can't sell yours, so you come here to disrupt my business."

"I'm putting it out there now: if you have the guts, buy them all at once. Don't disgust people here. Otherwise!" Zhang Qing added with a smug hmph, "Then I apologize. I'm doing business here, and I can sell to whomever I please."

Through sound transmission, Lin Chang'an revealed a look of sudden realization and chuckled, shaking his head. It seemed the feud between the two was indeed significant.

"Heh, it seems the Great Sword Sect only has this much capability."

Wang Youyun didn't miss any opportunity to belittle the other party. He sneered but wasn't foolish. Buying an alchemist for thirty spirit stones was indeed worth it, but what about the other goods? He would be at a loss.

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from the crowd. A middle-aged man, resembling a great scholar, stepped forward, dressed in a blue robe with a gentle smile on his face.

"Since you're doing business, I assume you won't mind if the Liu Family takes the lead?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhang Qing immediately flinched, his smile becoming respectful as he bowed slightly, "Isn't this the Liu Family Head? What are you saying?"

When the Liu Family Head appeared, Wang Youyun's pupils constricted, and he no longer dared to provoke them. Those in the crowd who recognized him showed respectful expressions.

"I heard you have an alchemist here," the Liu Family Head said meaningfully, looking at everyone with a gentle smile, without any arrogance.

"However, our Liu Family is not unreasonable. We will take ten of these twenty-three people. Are the remaining thirteen willing to join the Liu Family in verifying the goods and seeing if this young friend's words are true?"

The gentle Liu Family Head chuckled and teased Lin Chang'an, "This young friend just said, for every falsehood, you'll compensate ten times the price."

Instantly, a wave of good-natured laughter rippled through the crowd, with some even patting their chests and exclaiming, "With the Liu Family Head here, count me in."

"Today, this rough fellow will benefit from the Liu Family Head's presence."

"Since the Liu Family Head doesn't mind, count me in."

A surge of righteous indignation flushed the faces of many in the crowd as they stepped forward. However, everyone present knew that these people were merely trying to curry favor with the Liu Family Head.

"Junior brother, this is the head of the Liu Family. Don't be fooled by his cultivation of only Qi Refining eighth layer. Under his leadership, the Liu Family is second only to the Beast Taming Zhou Family."

Through sound transmission, Zhang Qing gravely introduced the information about the Liu Family to him. Lin Chang'an immediately stepped forward, a smile plastered on his face, and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Family Head Liu, for the assistance."

"You're too kind," the Liu Family Head's gentle smile gave a feeling of basking in the spring breeze, as if he treated everyone the same.

But Lin Chang'an dared not underestimate this gentlemanly and refined demeanor. Anyone who could make a name for themselves in this place was no simple person.

"I'll take these ten."

The Liu Family Head casually glanced over and waved his hand, pointing to the ten on the left. This scene brought smiles to the faces of the cultivators who had joined.

It was clear that the Liu Family Head's casual gesture was purely based on luck, with no signs of cheating. After all, even the most discreet sound transmission had mana fluctuations.

"Alright, since the Liu Family Head has made his choice, I won't be ambiguous. I'll take this one."

"I want this one..."

In just a short moment, all twenty-three sacks on the left were chosen. The Liu Family Head looked at Lin Chang'an with a smile and nodded gently, while Lin Chang'an appeared humble.

However, when Lin Chang'an stepped forward to express his thanks earlier, his left hand's fingers had clearly trembled. The Liu Family Head regarded the unfamiliar young man with even greater appreciation.
