After glancing at the Five Elements techniques, Jiang Cai Shen paid them no mind, about to say something when his gaze returned to the Five Elements techniques, golden light surging in his eyes and a deep stirring in his heart.
"This is actually an ancient secret art. How did you get such a wondrous technique, kid?"
Jiang Cai Shen looked at Lu Fan, disbelief evident in his eyes. He knew very well how formidable this ancient secret art was, and it was supposed to have been lost to time. How could Lu Fan have obtained it?
"I only wrote the first half of this Five Elements Secret Art. The second half is yet to be written. If the deal goes through, I'll give you the whole thing!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression indifferent.
He had his reasons for doing this, otherwise, Jiang Cai Shen wouldn't have so easily let him be.
"Since you've said so, kid, we'll do as you say!" Jiang Cai Shen nodded. "What do you want me to do for you, kid?"
"I'm looking for something. This item was once in Jiangbei City, then I took it away, only for it to be stolen later!" Lu Fan stated directly. "If you can help me find it, I will fulfill your wish!"
"What is it?"
Jiang Cai Shen was somewhat surprised, and Lu Fan's words piqued his curiosity.
"Nine Dragon Grass!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious, showing no hesitation. The Nine Dragon Grass was no trivial matter, and it could not be treated carelessly.
"Nine Dragon Hall!"
Jiang Cai Shen frowned. "The Nine Dragon Grass is no ordinary item; it is a sacred object of the Heavenly God Temple. How did it end up in your hands?" Su Dan Novel Network
"I exchanged it with the Heavenly God Temple using the Diamond Sutra, but now it has been stolen. I suspect it was the work of people from the Heavenly God Temple!" Lu Fan said without reservation, his words direct.
"So that's how it is!"
Jiang Cai Shen nodded, understanding instantly. He could see some clues from Lu Fan's statement.
"So, can you take this deal?" Liu Ruyan asked, without any hesitation.
"Of course!" Jiang Cai Shen nodded. "But as I said, if I provide the exact location, you must give me the second half of the Five Elements Secret Art!"
"Senior, rest assured, I will never go back on my word!" Lu Fan nodded, his gaze earnest.
Facing these words, Jiang Cai Shen nodded slightly, then began to employ the ancient secret art, intending to track the true whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Grass.
Lu Fan was also curious, wondering how the ancient secret art would find the Nine Dragon Grass.
At this very moment, a scene suddenly appeared before them. This scene was precisely what had happened when they were attacked, causing them to exclaim in surprise.
"What kind of secret technique is this? It can achieve this much!" Liu Ruyan was incredulous, her heart trembling.
After all, such a powerful secret technique had never been seen before. The ability to recreate the scene was truly unexpected.
On that mountaintop, Lu Fan's Nine Dragon Hall was snatched by a man in black. After obtaining the Nine Dragon Grass, the man in black left directly and arrived in Jiangbei City.
Looking at that figure, Liu Shuqin suddenly exclaimed, "This person looks so familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before!"
"The underground chamber of commerce!"
Jiang Cai Shen stated directly, "These people are all from the underground chamber of commerce, and they are desperate outlaws. Now that the Nine Dragon Grass is in their hands, you must be careful not to fall into their trap!"
"Thank you for your concern, senior. But what is the exact location of the Nine Dragon Hall now?" Lu Fan asked, somewhat confused.
"That's right, it's indeed in the underground chamber of commerce!" Jiang Cai Shen nodded. "As for its specific location, I don't know. You might have to go there yourself!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Lu Fan nodded, then took out the second half of the secret art. With the situation having developed to this point, they could only take it one step at a time.
Leaving Jiang Cai Shen's shop, Lu Fan and the others prepared to head to the underground chamber of commerce. Liu Shuqin hurried forward to stop them, "Don't act rashly. The underground chamber of commerce is full of eyes and ears, and there are many experts. If you act carelessly there, it will cause endless trouble!"
"It's fine, you don't need to worry about these things!" Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze even more indifferent.
"I know you are not ordinary people, and I know you are the King of the Northwest, so you don't care about these things. But some things are not as simple as they seem!" Liu Shuqin spoke again. "I think we should plan carefully!"
"Since we already know where it is, we naturally cannot delay!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, I still thank you for your good intentions. If it weren't for you, I might not have known the true whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Grass."
After speaking, Lu Fan headed towards the underground chamber of commerce, his eyes filled with determination. With things having turned out this way, all they could do now was this.
Meanwhile, within the underground chamber of commerce, many people were observing, their gazes falling on Lu Fan with a knowing look.
"Within the underground chamber of commerce, who stole the Nine Dragon Grass?" Lu Fan asked directly, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
The people in the underground chamber of commerce continued with their tasks, heads bowed, not paying Lu Fan any attention, as if they didn't care too much about what he said.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a sharp aura emanating from him. "You don't really think that by remaining silent, you can escape this calamity?"
As soon as his words fell, a man next to him laughed heartily, "This is the underground chamber of commerce, a place where all sorts of people gather. Who are you speaking to here? We are all a group of people who are not afraid of death!"
"Not afraid of death?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Shall I give it a try?"
The man's face instantly turned ashen, and his gaze towards Lu Fan was filled with hostility.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so why are you trying to show off here!" Liu Shuqin interjected. "Besides, with just a few of you, do you think you can cause trouble!"
The men exchanged glances but said nothing further. Although they were from the underground chamber of commerce, they were not the ones who had stolen the Nine Dragon Grass, and they naturally did not want to stir up trouble here.
As Lu Fan and the others ventured deeper, they saw several figures not far from the underground chamber of commerce. Lu Fan was quite familiar with these figures, and a slight smile curved his lips. "It seems it's them!"
When the men saw Lu Fan, their brows furrowed slightly, clearly not expecting him to come here, which caught them off guard.
"Hand over the item!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Perhaps this way you can still escape a calamity, otherwise, you won't be so lucky!"
The men smiled slightly and looked at Lu Fan simultaneously. "What are you talking about, kid? We don't understand. This is the territory of the Heavenly Tiger Gang. If you want us to do something, we are willing. But if you are looking for trouble here, don't blame us for not warning you!"
