In reply to the young man, "Youngster, you have eyes. My old man can be considered half a craftsman, half a Symbol Master, and not only did he inlay jade into this folding fan, he also refined a symbol, adding some ability to the original fan. If I'm not mistaken, it can speed up the cultivation of water elementalists.

Half a Symbol Master? Although he didn't know how the old granny had crowned the old man with this title, his status immediately became more respectable.

However, Fan Mu didn't focus on that. Hearing the grandma's reply, Fan Mu became extremely happy. According to the old lady, this item was given by someone else, and it would be a problem whether they sell it or not. But now, Fan Mu could be sure of it, so Fan Mu inquired about the price, "Old Granny, how much is this?"

Even though the folding fan was inlaid with jade and was engraved with a large mark, it was all the simplest and most ordinary of them all. Therefore, originally, she had only intended to sell this toy for twenty taels of silver. However, seeing how much the young man in front of her loved her and judging by his attire, he didn't seem to be a poor person.

"Young man, this treasured artifact of mine is not ordinary. The minimum price is two hundred taels of silver. What do you think?" The old granny reached out for the blue folding fan and gave it to the young man.

Fan Mu's eyes widened. Two hundred taels of silver was enough to buy an offensive treasure, but who would buy such an auxiliary weapon? His mouth twitched; he knew that this crafty old granny was paying attention to his previous thoughts.

Fan Mubai wanted to bargain with the old lady, but the old lady refused to bargain. With her rich experience, she knew that if the customer wanted something, they would have to get it. If she were to let go now, she wouldn't be able to do such a good deal.

Since there was almost no result, Fan Mu decided to leave. Although the item was very attractive to him, he did not know what was inside. If the old granny set up a trap for him, he would definitely laugh.

Seeing that the young man was about to leave, the grandma became a little impatient and hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, wait a minute, young man, don't go. You should give the lowest price. It's hard to come to a conclusion no matter how much you compete."

The old granny shook her head. It seemed like she had set the price too high in the beginning, making the young lad unable to accept it. If this young lad gave her fifty silver taels, then she could forget about it.

Originally, Fan Mu had limited experience, but he had offered a high price of 80 taels of silver, which was four times the original price he had expected.

"Young lad, I'll sell you this. If there's anything else you need, just say so. I have a lot of treasures here," the old granny happily waved at Fan Mu as she slowly walked away.

Fan Mu walked around the booth with the fan in his hand, feeling a little depressed. Fortunately, the moment he got the fan, the indescribable attraction was even stronger, which made him more determined to buy it. Fan Mu was sure that there was some secret hidden inside, or else he would have thought the fan was more than one tael of silver compared to other toys.

Even though he was feeling depressed, he didn't want to disturb the food on his stall. Sigh, they were all treasures. The more he looked at them, the more he was pleased with them.

As he walked, a yellowed book caught his eye, and the blood-red title gripped his heart. Two Elements of Heaven's Mandate? " Fan Mu mumbled to himself as an inconceivable feeling welled up within him. There were too few books that introduced the two attributes, especially when the title was pointed out directly. It was extremely rare.

She remembered that after searching for half a day in the Lingyun family's study, she only found one < Yin and Yang > among the many books. She flipped through it with great expectations, and almost made him spit out blood.

"Could it be that the book introduces the principles behind the two elemental energies?" This was the first impression he got from the < Two Elements of Heaven's Mandate >, so he went up and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a full face of beard. He looked very unruly, and the muscles on his hands were thicker than Fan Mu's waist. He had a ferocious look, and it was no wonder that there were so many stalls with no one else around, causing his stalls to become much quieter.

However, one should not judge a book by its cover. The rough man's attitude made Fan Mu feel better. He looked completely different from the butcher he had imagined, more scholarly instead. He could only blame this on the fact that he was a bookseller.

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" The rough looking man saw that someone had come to visit, so he quickly bent down and bowed. However, his appearance was quite funny.

Fan Mu did not waste any time, and immediately went straight to the main topic of the search: "May I ask how much you are selling this book for?"

Pointing to a book on the corner, Fan Mu reached out to grab it, but was stopped by his boss.

"Young master, I only sell some secret manuals, so you can't read them before I get them," the man explained. He picked up the book that Fan Mu had pointed to, patted off the dust on it, and took a closer look, discovering that the corner of the book had been completely worn down.

Fearing that he might fall for another word game, Fan Mu was very careful. If he were to buy another recipe, he would get drunk. He asked, "Then do you know the contents written in the book? "Not a recipe."

The boorish man laughed involuntarily and replied, "Eh, Young Master, where do you think you got the idea that this is a recipe? The book introduces the origin of two elemental energies, but look at them, they're a set."

As he said this, the man pulled out the basics from the pile of books and wrote < Source of Fire >, < Divine Wood Attribute > and so on. Fan Mu nodded his head, and the excitement in his heart went without saying.

Fan Mu could not wait to ask, "I want this book. How much is it?"

"Twenty taels of silver!"

To a book, 20 taels of silver was a sky-high price. However, Fan Mu had no intentions of bargaining and straightforwardly completed the transaction.

Little did he know that the rough man had secretly noted down his looks. After Fan Mu left, the rough man laughed sinisterly and muttered to himself, "Two elements? "It's so hard to find me. I can't find any place with broken iron shoes, hahaha."
