Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Old Man Admits Defeat

Gao Qiu at this moment is not as enthusiastic about bringing customers to Bai Xiaofan’s shop as before!

Because he knows, Bai Xiaofan will definitely not reduce the price!

A Jade Talisman for a hundred thousand yuan is not something just anyone can afford.

Although he has been telling others how good and impressive the Jade Talisman is,

who would believe him?

These past few days, Ding Laosan hasn’t been causing trouble at Gao Shengnan’s restaurant!

Instead, he sends some small-time hooligans to loiter outside Gao Shengnan’s little shop, causing some customers who don’t know about the last incident to be a bit hesitant to go in!

On this particular day, a shop on Liusha Street got a new owner.

An elderly man, about sixty years old, bought a tobacco and liquor store right next to Bai Xiaofan’s shop.

Similar to when Bai Xiaofan’s new shop opened, this shop’s opening was also very quiet, known only to the few shops nearby, while the others were unaware!

And this elderly man didn’t seem to have any intention of advertising.

After purchasing the shop, the elderly man did not make any renovations and continued the tobacco and liquor business.

Through interaction, Bai Xiaofan learned that this elderly man’s surname is Liang, so everyone calls him Uncle Liang!

Gao Qiu, due to the recent downturn in the restaurant’s business, has nothing much to do every day. He either watches Bai Xiaofan carve Jade Pendants or goes over to Uncle Liang to play chess!

"Young man, come play a round!"

After brutally defeating Gao Qiu in several rounds, Uncle Liang waved to Bai Xiaofan, who was sitting at the door!

"Brother Fan, do you know how to play? Come on, I’ve been beaten by Uncle Liang to the point of tears, let him beat you too so I can regain some confidence!"

Upon hearing Uncle Liang’s words, Gao Qiu turned around and called to Bai Xiaofan, his face showing a gleeful smile!

He has known Bai Xiaofan for more than a month now and hasn’t heard that Bai Xiaofan knows how to play chess.

Bai Xiaofan smiled speechlessly, put away the Moon Blade and Jade Talisman, and sat down at the chessboard!

"Young fellow, I hear from Xiao Qiu that your Jade Talisman engravings are quite remarkable!"

As they set up the chess pieces, Uncle Liang casually asked.

"They’re just trivial items, nothing worth mentioning, barely enough to make a living!"

Bai Xiaofan said nonchalantly, starting to move the chess pieces!

"Are you married, young man?"

"Yes, this time I came out to earn some money so I can go back and marry my girlfriend. One needs money to get married these days!"

"True enough, where are you originally from, young man? You don’t sound like you’re from Sha Province."

"Jiang Province, I had no choice but to wander around for a living!"

As they spoke and moved the pieces on the chessboard, it seemed very casual. However, in reality, Uncle Liang was subtly probing everything about Bai Xiaofan!

To the speaker, it was unintentional, but to the listener, it was significant!

Sitting on the side and watching the game, Gao Qiu secretly took out his phone and sent a message to his sister Gao Shengnan!

"Sis, I heard Brother Fan say he already has a girlfriend, and this time he came out just to earn money and go back to marry her!"

After sending the message, Gao Qiu put the phone away, only to find Bai Xiaofan looking at him with an ambiguous smile!

Awkwardly smiling along with Bai Xiaofan, Gao Qiu once again focused on the chessboard!

As of now, none of the pieces on the board had been captured, not even the tiniest pawn!

It seemed as if the two were intentionally avoiding capturing each other’s pieces!

"I lost, indeed heroes come from the youth!"

After a short while, Uncle Liang laughed, shook his head, and congratulated Bai Xiaofan.

"Just a lucky win! It’s just a game, nothing heroic about it!"

Bai Xiaofan waved his hand humbly in response.

"Young fellow, how about selling me one of your Jade Talismans? I’m getting old, and I could use one for protection in case I slip and fall when my legs give out!"

Immediately, Uncle Liang took out a bank card and handed it over to Bai Xiaofan!

"Of course, it would be wonderful for Uncle Liang to support my business, I’d be delighted. You can take your pick of the Jade Talismans in my shop!"

Bai Xiaofan accepted the card with a grin, carefully putting it away, not even concerned whether it actually had a hundred thousand in it!

"Xiao Qiu, go pick out a tiger-shaped Jade Talisman for me, as a tiger is my zodiac sign!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Uncle Liang instructed Gao Qiu.

Obediently, Gao Qiu went into Bai Xiaofan’s shop and selected a tiger-shaped Jade Talisman, handing it over to Uncle Liang!

Receiving the Jade Talisman, a deep, enigmatic doubt flashed in Uncle Liang’s eyes.

Then he looked up, puzzled, at Bai Xiaofan before him.

Uncle Liang could clearly sense that the Jade Talisman contained a very mystical Formation.

The formation was so intricate that even he would need a long time to fully comprehend it.

Having previously heard from Gao Qiu about the unusual effects of the Jade Talisman, he was surprised but didn’t care much!

Only now did he realize the Jade Talisman was engraved with a Formation, and moreover, this tiger-shaped Talisman had a kind of fierce tiger’s might!

Don’t underestimate the power of this tiger’s might; when the wearer encounters danger, the activation of the Formation will incorporate a hint of the tiger’s pressure, reducing the harm the wearer might suffer.

If the attack on the wearer is extremely powerful, and the Formation within the Jade Talisman cannot completely neutralize it, the tiger’s might can serve as the wearer’s last protective barrier!

After staring at Bai Xiaofan for a long while, Uncle Liang’s mind was filled with more questions!

He could confirm that there was not a trace of elemental force on Bai Xiaofan’s body!

Typically, such a situation indicates two possibilities.

One is that Bai Xiaofan is not a cultivator, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any elemental force on his body!

The other possibility is that Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation level is significantly higher than his, so much so that he is currently unable to detect it!

However, the second possibility is absolutely impossible!

At his current level of cultivation, there are not many people in the whole of China whose cultivation surpasses his, especially not to the extent that he cannot sense the other party’s elemental force!

Moreover, Bai Xiaofan looks like just a frail young man!

If the Bai Xiaofan before him were an elderly person of similar age, he might believe that Bai Xiaofan’s current cultivation level had reached a realm that even he couldn’t fathom!

But he is now a mid-stage Divinity Transformation expert, and for someone to remain undetectable in terms of elemental force by him, at least a peak Divinity Transformation level would be required!
