The old man's face is naturally quite old, and there is also a terrifying scar from his left cheek to the corner of his eye.
Although the old man's complexion is quite peaceful now, this scar still adds a hint of ferocity to the old man.
"I know, old gentleman, but you can't stop me from buying it."
Xiao Tianci looked at the old man's face, smiled and said.
"As a shop owner, there is no need to refuse such a big business."
"Since you insist on buying it, then go ahead and buy it." After listening to Xiao Tianci's words, the old man nodded slowly.
Afterwards, Xiao Tianci took a large number of books from the shelves like a sweep, and then placed them all on the counter in front of the old man.
There were so many books that they even blocked the old man's sight.
"You want to buy so much?"
The old man was slightly stunned. He looked at Xiao Tianci through the gap between the books in disbelief.
"Is there any problem?" Xiao Tianci shrugged. "I'm bored in the desert, so I read a book while walking on the road as a pastime."
"No problem."
The old man shook his head. "However, some books are unique books, so the price is naturally not cheap..."
Halfway through the old man's words, he suddenly thought of Third-Grade Alchemist Badge on Xiao Tianci's chest.
What he originally wanted to say was held back in his mouth.
As a Third-Tier Alchemist, there is no need to worry about money.
"By the way, I still have this thing, please give me a price." Xiao Tianci suddenly took out the fragment and said to the old man.
The old man paused for a moment, then frowned, and an inexplicable meaning appeared in his old eyes.
"You, have you seen fragments of this kind of map before?"
"Maybe." Xiao Tianci shrugged and said casually, "I have a friend. I saw similar fragments in his hands before, so I wanted to buy them for him to study. However, I am not 100% sure whether it is the same kind."
"That's it." The old man nodded slowly, and then said meaningfully, "My little friend, judging from your clothes, you must not be from around Desert City. I wonder where you are from, and what are you going to do in the desert?"
"Old sir, are you checking your household registration?" Xiao Tianci laughed immediately after hearing this.
"Is it possible that the old gentleman wants to find out where he can go to my friend to get the treasure?"
After listening to Xiao Tianci's words, the old man slowly shook his head. "I'm just asking casually. Also, this fragment is not for sale."
"Putting it on the shelf but not selling it? It's really not easy for a former Dou Huang expert to care so much about something."
Xiao Tianci continued to speak.
When he first entered this store, Xiao Tianci had already discovered that this old man was unusual.
There is a quite powerful force inside his body.
However, this power seems to be in a suppressed state.
If Xiao Tianci's soul power wasn't so terrifying, he would really ignore this.
"Click!"
The slowly moving ink pen in the old man's hand also suddenly stopped at this moment, and then with a crisp sound, the ink pen broke directly!
And the broken ink pen fell on the map, causing a large area of ink stains to appear on the map he had just drawn.
However, the old man seemed unmoved and stared at Xiao Tianci.
And in his cloudy eyes, a faint chill gradually lingered.
"Who... are you?"
The old man said coldly.
As he spoke, his palm lightly pressed somewhere on the table.
Suddenly, a bang came from behind Xiao Tianci.
The originally open door was actually surrounded by people.
The old man stared at Xiao Tianci with sharp eyes, and then, a cold and powerful Qi spread from the old man's body.
Xiao Tianci glanced around the store casually, and then he discovered that the people who were selecting maps had already left the store before.
Therefore, Xiao Tianci and the old man were the only two people left in this shop.
Feeling the energy erupting from the old man's body, Xiao Tianci's expression did not change at all.
"Old sir, put away your anger. Even with your previous Dou Emperor strength, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do against me."
Xiao Tianci shrugged and said quite easily, "I still sincerely want to discuss the price with you and don't want to take action."
After hearing Xiao Tianci's words and seeing Xiao Tianci's relaxed and normal expression, the old man's expression also became a little gloomy.
However, he still said stiffly, "Let me say it again, I will not sell this fragment to anyone. If you really plan to take it away by force, then you might as well try and see if you can take this fragment away safely."
Seeing that the old man was still so arrogant, Xiao Tianci couldn't help but frown.
He really didn't expect that this old guy could be so stubborn.
And listening to his previous words and his reaction, it was obvious that he did not know the specific use of this fragment.
This is really unreasonable.
He was not even willing to listen to the conditions he proposed.
This really made Xiao Tianci feel a little annoyed.
"Old sir, this thing is very important to my friend. If you really don't agree, then I might really have to take it away by force today."
Xiao Tianci's eyes gradually converged.
He was confident that if the old man agreed, he would definitely offer a price that the old man could not refuse.
After all, whether it is Resurrection Pill or Taiping Golden Pill in his hand, it is an irresistible temptation for a person of such strength.
This old man is definitely making money without losing money.
"Perhaps you do have some skills, and you are somewhat confident due to your identity as Third-Tier Alchemist, but I have been here at the Jia Ma Empire for so many years, and it is not in vain. I have seen a lot of third-grade Fourth-Tier Alchemists. Even if they see me, they will not talk to me like this!"
After hearing what Xiao Tianci said, a sarcastic smile appeared on the old man's old face, and then he said coldly.
As his voice fell.
There was also an evil spirit flashing across the old man's face, and combined with the ferocious scars on his face, he looked even more fierce.
He stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet, and immediately his body flew towards Xiao Tianci like lightning!
At the same time, following the old man's actions, the air of ice filled the shop rapidly, completely blocking Xiao Tianci's sight.
