Chapter 1056: Chapter 1052: Chaos Ancient Scripture

This alley is somewhat dark, giving off a very old community vibe.

Chen Yang didn’t pay attention to these things.

After passing through the alley, a very classical bookstore came into Chen Yang’s view.

The alley environment outside wasn’t great, but this shop’s book market was quite okay.

The style and surroundings were even better than some of the other shops outside.

"Young man, sit here for a while, I’ll help you find what you want." The shopkeeper said as they walked into the shop.

Chen Yang responded with a nod, not holding back, and sat directly on the bench in the bookstore hall.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the shopkeeper indeed came over with two books about traditional Chinese characters.

"Young man, see if these are what you need?"

The shopkeeper handed the books directly to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang immediately stood up, took the books, and glanced at them.

They were indeed the traditional Chinese character books he wanted.

"Yes, that’s right, it’s these." Chen Yang nodded, then directly asked the shopkeeper how much he needed to pay.

"Haha, these two books are quite old, just give two thousand as a token." The shopkeeper said in a calm and natural manner.

"What, two thousand? You’re not joking with me, are you?"

Chen Yang asked in surprise.

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Yang’s astonished reaction and slightly smiled.

"Young man, do you think I’m joking with you? These books are very old and are the only copies on the whole street."

"Can you understand the value contained within them? Anyway, that’s my price, two thousand; take it or leave it."

The shopkeeper smiled slyly, his tone was calm without a trace of urgency.

He had an attitude of take it or leave it.

Chen Yang saw his attitude and knew that he must have seen how much Chen Yang wanted them, which is why he dared to ask such a high price.

Otherwise, for an ordinary book, would he have dared to ask for two thousand?

Chen Yang wanted the books, but he wasn’t just going to let himself be ripped off; if he agreed to this, wouldn’t he be the fool?

"I’ll give you at most two hundred, if you want to sell, I’ll take them; if not, I’ll look elsewhere." Chen Yang said lightly.

Hearing Chen Yang’s offer, the shopkeeper was suddenly at a loss.

"What? I offered two thousand, and you offer me two hundred? Young man, that’s too harsh."

"Is it harsh? Two hundred isn’t little, is it? Just give me a straight answer, don’t waste my time." Chen Yang urged.

The shopkeeper hesitated upon seeing Chen Yang’s indifferent attitude.

But after pondering for a while, he still shook his head: "I can’t sell for two hundred."

"Fine, I’m leaving; let’s meet again if fate wills it."

Upon hearing no deal could be reached, Chen Yang decisively turned to leave without hesitation.

Seeing Chen Yang determined to leave, the shopkeeper panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Chen Yang.

"Hey young man, why are you in such a hurry? Although two hundred won’t do, we can still negotiate, why are you rushing off?" The shopkeeper held Chen Yang’s hand, persuading him to discuss it properly.

Chen Yang chuckled to himself.

This guy was truly sly; he hadn’t really intended to sell for two thousand, he just wanted to leave room for negotiation.

"There’s nothing to discuss. As I said, two hundred, not a penny more." Chen Yang paused his steps but remained firm.

Saying at most two hundred.

The shopkeeper’s face fell seeing Chen Yang’s firm stance.

After hesitating for several seconds, he reluctantly nodded like he was cutting flesh.

"Fine, fine, just to make a friend, two hundred and it’s yours." The shopkeeper waved his hand as if he had suffered a huge loss.

But Chen Yang knew very well.

Although the book was indeed hard to find, it didn’t mean it was of high value.

If it weren’t for him, it probably would have rotted away without anyone wanting it.

So the two hundred he offered had already given the shopkeeper a great profit.

Knowing this in his heart, Chen Yang didn’t say a word. Instead, he silently took out his phone and transferred the money.

"Alright, the money has been sent."

Chen Yang showed him the transfer record and then turned to leave the bookstore.

After purchasing the traditional character books, Chen Yang didn’t linger in the town for a moment; he drove straight back to Liuhe Village.

When he returned to Liuhe Village, Chen Yang saw five or six technicians from the pharmaceutical factory coming down from the mountain in the distance.

As they reached the roadside, Chen Yang happened to drive up to them.

"Did you just go into the mountain?"

Chen Yang braked and asked them.

The five or six technicians had all seen Chen Yang that morning, so they knew who he was.

"Oh, it’s you, Boss Chen, what a coincidence."

Someone came up to greet Chen Yang, shook hands, and said, "We just went up to have a look. We heard the mountain is rich in herbs, so we went to inspect ahead."

"I see, but be sure to bring some protection when going up the mountain. There are many wolves and other wild animals, so be careful not to get hurt." Chen Yang reminded them kindly.

Upon hearing about the wild animals, the female technician’s face changed immediately.

The males showed a change as well, though not as pronounced as the female’s.

"Oh, alright, we will be careful in the future."

"Okay, I’m off."

After giving his warning, Chen Yang didn’t chat much and pressed the accelerator to head back to his clinic.

Returning to the clinic, Chen Yang took his rocking chair and books to the back courtyard, lying under the peach tree to study earnestly.

There isn’t much difference between traditional and simplified Chinese characters, so Chen Yang learned quickly. In just a few hours, he was almost proficient.

He could recognize nearly all the traditional characters in the books.

"Now, I should be able to understand this, right?"

Chen Yang put down the book on traditional characters, got up, and retrieved the ancient text he acquired yesterday from inside.

This time, he instantly recognized the words on the cover.

Chaos Ancient Scripture!

Seeing these four ancient characters, Chen Yang’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

It was as if something inside him had been stirred.

However, Chen Yang didn’t dwell on this reaction; he simply felt a bit excited.

Just seeing the name of this Cultivation Technique told him it was very formidable.

Gulp.

Chen Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then slowly opened the book, beginning to seriously comprehend the mysteries contained within.

With just a glance, Chen Yang’s entire focus was drawn in.

His eyes saw nothing but the Cultivation Technique.

He didn’t know how long had passed. When he finally came out of this enlightenment state, it was already dark.

The village had become very quiet, suggesting it was already past midnight.

"No wonder this Cultivation Technique is so well protected, even the inscription of its text requires a special method; it’s so profound..."

As soon as Chen Yang snapped out of it, he marvelled at the depth of the Cultivation Technique rather than being concerned with the time.

Despite spending hours on it, he had only scratched the surface.

But through certain insights, he already sensed the remarkable nature of this Cultivation Technique.

If he could practice according to this technique, his combat power would certainly soar!

Chen Yang’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

He wanted to follow the method described in the Cultivation Technique immediately, but it was too late, and with responsibilities at the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow, he had to postpone it.

"For now, the main task is to grow the business; there’s time to improve my skills later."

Saying this, Chen Yang took the ancient text and returned to his room.
