Chapter 32: Meeting an Old Acquaintance



In recent years, this little medicine boy had gained a great reputation. His cultivation speed was astonishingly fast, reaching the late stage of spirit gathering in just a few short years.

It’s worth noting that he was still under eighteen years old. A late-stage spirit gatherer under eighteen was rare even in large clans, making this little medicine boy a prominent figure in the marketplace, known by everyone.

However, this little medicine boy had a peculiar habit of selling junk. Last time, he sold worthless discarded pills, and it was anyone’s guess what kind of rubbish he would sell this time.

Long Xuan was very curious.

Sure enough, the bald little medicine boy did not disappoint him. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, he took out a tattered treasure map.

The treasure map had been partially burnt, with about one-tenth of it missing. Although its area was small, it was a riddle-based treasure map, and the missing portion was the most crucial part.

Without the missing part, there was no hope of locating the treasure. Naturally, an incomplete treasure map was worthless.

Everyone looked puzzled. Before the little medicine boy could speak, someone from below shouted, “What are you up to? Why are you showing us a piece of waste paper? Don’t tell me you plan to sell this here. Do you really think someone will buy this junk?”

Many people snickered, having already seen that this was a useless treasure map. If it were truly useful, he would have gone treasure hunting himself instead of bringing it here.

Unfazed by the crowd’s skepticism, the little medicine boy continued confidently, “Who says it’s useless? This treasure map is only missing a tenth of its area. What if someone smart enough can guess the treasure’s location from the remaining nine-tenths?”

“What if someone has the ability to repair anything? Fixing an incomplete treasure map would be a piece of cake.”

“What if someone has divination abilities? They could determine the exact treasure location from just a bit of information.”

“All these are possibilities. Just because you think it’s useless doesn’t mean it’s useless to others.” The little medicine boy scoffed.

“Are you dreaming? Have you read too many novels? Repairing everything—if only I could fix your brain right now!”

The crowd wasn’t convinced at all, laughing off his words. Only a fool would believe such nonsense.

Only Long Xuan seemed thoughtful. He had to admit, the little medicine boy’s words made some sense.

The world was full of wonders. Any bizarre ability could exist. Who could definitively say that there wasn’t a golden finger capable of repairing anything in this world?

His ability to magnify everything hadn’t existed before, but he had created it. Anything was possible.

Moreover, divination-like abilities likely existed in this world. It’s just that such extraordinary abilities were too far removed from the average loose cultivator, making it hard for anyone to believe they would encounter such a thing.

So, theoretically, what the little medicine boy said was feasible. However, the likelihood of it appearing in this region was zero. No matter how eloquently he spoke, it was of no use.

Long Xuan glanced again at the treasure map, which showed a progress of [90.98%]. A thought struck him—could he complete this incomplete map by guessing?

If he could deduce Gu recipes by guessing, perhaps he could also complete the treasure map the same way. The process would be different, guessing lines instead of words.

If he placed a piece of paper under the incomplete map and drew over the gaps, erasing and redrawing whenever the progress didn’t increase, theoretically, he could eventually complete a full treasure map.

Long Xuan took a deep breath. The little medicine boy might actually be right—someone capable of repairing the map did exist, and that person was right here.

Finally, he had a golden opportunity.

Long Xuan became instantly excited, showing a thrilled smile.

Who knew what treasures this map might lead to? The possibility of treasures worth billions wasn’t far-fetched. This time, he might truly hit the jackpot.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Long Xuan immediately stepped forward and said, “I want this incomplete map. What do you want in exchange?”

The little medicine boy was startled by the familiar voice and exclaimed, “It’s you again! Are you addicted to buying junk?”

Long Xuan’s face stiffened, but he remained composed and said, “I am that exceptionally intelligent person you mentioned. I can deduce the treasure’s location from just nine-tenths of the map.”

The little medicine boy smirked, clearly disbelieving. If someone could deduce the treasure’s location based on intelligence alone, he wouldn’t be selling it. Wasn’t this implying he was less intelligent?

“You don’t really have the ability to repair everything, do you?” The little medicine boy’s eyes widened in shock.

“Repair your big head! Do you want to sell it or not? If not, I’m leaving now!”

Long Xuan was genuinely angered by this brat. His loud claims could make people believe he really had the ability to repair everything. That would be disastrous.

Right now, he felt like tearing the little medicine boy’s mouth apart.

“Sell! Of course, I’ll sell! Only an idiot wouldn’t sell!”

Seeing a genuine fool willing to trade for his broken map, the little medicine boy was overjoyed and quickly seized the opportunity.

“I want those pills you took out. just a hundred of them will do.” The little medicine boy said quickly.

“Only ten! Take it or leave it!”

Long Xuan slammed a pill bottle onto the table. If he offered such a high price, others would really start suspecting he had the ability to repair everything.
