‘Sigh, the Main Character Aura is getting weaker and weaker. Although I was prepared, I didn’t expect everyone in a 9th-tier world to have unique skills.’

‘Unless it’s Emperor San Guan pulling some tricks.’

‘Is this the place? A small antique stall?’ Qin Muye looked at the antiques on the ground, knowing without thinking that they were all fake. No one would sell real ones here.

‘It seems I can only rely on the Main Character Aura.’ Qin Muye had read the content of the book; the author hadn’t marked the exact address or said where it was, probably fearing that people might actually find it and cause trouble later.

‘A puppet-like appearance, this is really interesting.’

‘Spiritual essence is indeed miraculous, it can actually grant a concept-like existence a self and even form a whole new sentient being.’

‘Emperor San Guan is plotting against me, a fake protagonist; he must have his eyes on the Main Character Aura again.’

‘So, how is finding this thing supposed to help me?’

‘Damn! This Scholar couldn’t be the protagonist, could he?’

‘Otherwise, how could the Alien Clan withstand the destiny of Great Qian Country in the early stages and still hold high positions? They probably would’ve disappeared at the outset, let alone later.’

‘In other words, the initial stability and even dominance of the Alien Clan in the Court might have been with Emperor San Guan’s help.’

‘An article like The Peach Blossom Spring, quite interesting.’

‘Fifty years ago, Emperor San Guan was able to interfere with reality, but why would he interfere?’

‘Indeed, with the surreptitious aid of Emperor San Guan, they were spared from being killed by the national destiny and secretly eliminated the protagonist. This allowed the Alien Clan to successfully reach the peak in Great Qian.’

“…” The vendor, hearing this, also knew he was caught in a tight spot and finally gritted his teeth, “Alright, take it then, sir.”

“Hey hey hey, what are you talking about, sir? How about this, this fateful encounter is priceless. Since it’s fated, take it for one silver, and I won’t haggle.”

“Half a silver.” Qin Muye cut the price directly, grasping the vendor’s psychology; otherwise, the vendor would definitely go for a high price.

“Half a silver!” Qin Muye said decisively.

“What would you like, sir? This is a genuine, long-established brand, all heirlooms from previous generations.” The vendor, seeing Qin Muye examining his stall, immediately began drumming up business. After all, start the brag and if it hooks, it’s a big win; if not, no loss—it’s just one customer.

“Sir, chopping the price like this isn’t quite proper. If you don’t want it, then I won’t sell it. This book here is hot property; just a while ago, a noble spent a hundred silver, and I didn’t sell because I felt there was no fate between this book and that nobleman.” The vendor used a retreating move to advance, hyping up the value of the book.

“Sir, you really have good Eye Power, this book…” Seeing this, the vendor naturally went into full pitch mode, hyping the book as one of a kind.

“Oh, one silver.” After hearing a couple of boasts from the vendor, Qin Muye interrupted.

“What’s wrong with that? If you’re unwilling to sell, it just means there’s no fate. So, you might as well wait for the next fated person.” Qin Muye didn’t care at all.

“How much for this item?” Qin Muye casually picked up a book pointed out by the Main Character Aura, a script which was probably the most valuable item on this small stall, after all, other items being fake couldn’t become real, but this book, whether an antique or not, held content.

“This might be…”

Talent wasn’t high yet wanted to learn more, only dragging him down.

Not everyone is good, hence, these were omitted in the script, only expressed in vague terms.

At first glance, this thing looks a bit like a Secret Realm.

But he didn’t linger further on that; Qin Muye obviously had an exceptional demeanor and wasn’t the type to make mindless trouble. If things blew up, it would definitely backfire on him.

Beyond this, he also felt the Main Character Aura slowly undergoing changes, so to speak, in terms of quality.

But Qin Muye was certain that there were no Secret Realms or Relics in this world; he had sensed it, and now, without the curtain of national destiny, his Perception could extend outward.

It’s not that it’s utterly useless; it could be used to trick people, after all, this thing truly is a trap.

Once the transaction was complete, the vendor actually felt some regret; had he agreed when it was one silver earlier, he would have earned more by now.

And also, the sales of this script were rather poor, just something unscrupulous vendors used to swindle the ignorant.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be impossible for the Scholar to pass the imperial examination, enter the Court, and then sweep through the universe.

Giving it to Ji Shan is even more absurd; he only needs to earnestly study and grow, his potential is much higher than this single Supreme Sequence.

Many people struggle all their lives to reach the 9th rank, but Ji Shan hatched at the 9th rank, which could be said to be where others end their journeys.

Huangfu Xing practices martial arts and could multitask, but by the time he is able to do so, he probably wouldn’t be interested in this thing anymore.

After checking the year listed in the book, this literary discussion happened over fifty years ago. The author has been dead for decades, and the average lifespan in Great Qian is around thirty; the author was already over thirty when he left that mountain village. Furthermore, with the Alien Clan in power back then, how could he have lived another fifty years?

He was almost done with the research on spirituality. As a core part of the system, Qin Muye could now use this serpent stone sculpture to create a brand-new Supreme Sequence: Abyss.

Bargaining is part and parcel of trading, driven by mutual consent.

In the bustling market, Qin Muye followed the changes in the Main Character Aura forming new data as he moved forward.

If he can buy it, he will. If not, he has other ways to get it.

If you don’t know the value, who else should I take advantage of but you?

Qin Muye wondered if it could be the Emperor choosing a vessel, otherwise, why would he choose the Main Character Aura?

Qin Muye ignored this peddler and simply kept to himself, browsing through books as he continued on his way.

Qin Muye didn’t have the means to use a jot of clue from the literary discussion to find that vanished village; he could only rely on the Main Character Aura.

Qin Muye was somewhat puzzled, wondering if the Emperor was hinting at something to him.

If he were not the main character, the Emperor might not have really chosen to lead people into the mountain village. The likely reason he was allowed to leave was probably that his Main Character Aura had been taken away.

Merely growing stronger is just a quantitative change, but as he continued to advance, the quality also rose, who knows if he could reach a level where he finds treasures every time he steps out or picks money every time he falls.

He wasn’t sure about the upper limit, but he could assert it was definitely not low.

Having said that, Qin Muye turned around to leave.

Though it appeared painful outwardly, he was actually relieved inside.

Although reaching the 9th rank with the Supreme Sequence: Abyss is possible, the difficulty is too high and making changes was quicker.

He closed the literary discussion casually, then calculated in his mind.

So, he just made exactly four hundred and fifty cash in a flash.

This made it seem somewhat superfluous for Qin Muye.

He could sense the Main Character Aura growing stronger, seemingly forming a new kind of destiny.

He doesn’t need it; the Spirit Monster itself possesses the capabilities of the Abyss.

Asking the person involved was impossible, after all, he was long gone.

If it had been seventeen years ago, it might have been possible, considering the domination by powerful families, but now, to be honest, a hundred cash is enough, which is still not cheap for ordinary people, but at least it’s affordable if they save.

In Great Qian, a string of cash is one thousand cash, about one Silver. Qin Muye overpaid nearly ten times, but clearly, the peddler planned to eat three years’ worth from one day’s opening.

The literary discussion is not lengthy; a mere few tens of thousands of words recording a scholar who by an accident entered a strange village, married, and settled there before abruptly leaving one day, and could find nothing when he tried to return.

By this time, Qin Muye had also realized, how else could it be so coincidental.

This almost drove the peddler mad with anxiety; indeed, the item wasn’t worth much. He had been tempted by the offer of a string of cash, but thinking that a wealthy man who could afford a string of cash wouldn’t mind ten Silvers, he ended up causing this incident.

He had obtained the book for only fifty cash at the time of purchase, directly from the printing press, so naturally it wouldn’t be priced at a hundred cash like in the bookstores.

However, he had no intention of creating, because there was no use for it, who would he create it for?

Yet, the more it was so, the surer Qin Muye was that the Emperor had big plans.
