Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

"I see you're here today with the glow of fireflies, you must be here to gamble on stones, right? What a pity, what a pity!"

He feigned a sigh, and Li Lan, not calling him out on it, said, "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity you're having bad luck gambling lately; you need to get rid of it!"

How to resolve this?

"It's simple! Come, come, this is a Yin-Yang Wheel Fortune Coin made by the old Taoist himself. Just one coin can turn your luck around in gambling. Before each time you gamble on stones, sincerely bow three times, and your luck will improve by three points!"

The old Taoist priest took out a box of copper coins and placed it in front of Li Lan.

Li Lan glanced at it and realized that the old Taoist's copper coins were indeed quite impressive, made of extraordinary materials that ordinary people couldn't see through.

But now that Li Lan's spiritual eyes have reached a high level, he can naturally see that these copper coins are all worthless!

"Ok?"

Suddenly, he noticed one of the copper coins. It looked like a piece of junk, but it had an inexplicable aura flowing through it. If he hadn't been so observant, he probably would have missed it.

"How much?" Li Lan asked.

The old Taoist's eyes darted around: "If it's not meant to be, I wouldn't trade it for a thousand pieces of gold! But I have a connection with you, young friend, and the price for that connection is... one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

"One hundred high-grade spirit stones? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Li Lan rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, young friend, you are also a person of destiny. How about this, I will give you some more discounts: one hundred snacks and two copper coins. This is the bottom price!"

The old Taoist priest looked heartbroken.

Li Lan was somewhat absent-minded: "Give me all one hundred spirit stones."

Before the old Taoist priest could even haggle, Li Lan suddenly said, "Forget it, they all seem to be junk, let's not bother with them..."

The old Taoist priest panicked and hurriedly shoved the item into Li Lan's hand, saying, "Deal!"

Li Lan took the copper coins, secretly amused, and then paid with the spirit stones. Suddenly, he said, "By the way, sir, there have been rumors in the city recently that a gray fog has descended. What do you think of this?"

"I think that advocating peace is probably not going to work, and advocating war is the best course of action... Since you seem to know about fate, could you please tell me?"

He asked the question on purpose.

Upon seeing the master and apprentice pair, Li Lan already had a plan in mind!

Sure enough, the old Daoist Duan Tian paused for a moment, then looked at Li Lan and nodded solemnly:

"Young friend, you have insight! I have already calculated that if peace is the prevailing trend, then all will be bleak. If war is the prevailing trend... perhaps amidst the chaos, there will be a few individuals with great karmic connections who will be able to carve out a path for themselves!"

"Too much talk leads to mistakes, too much talk leads to mistakes. This old Taoist has said all I have to say!"

Li Lan smiled; he had already expected that experienced answer.

Because this old Taoist priest was a fraud, a charlatan who cheats people out of money by making things up to please others. Li Lan first expressed his inclination to fight, and the old man would definitely agree.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Li Lan said something, then, with a lot of copper coins in his pocket, turned and headed towards the Sun and Moon Mine.

After he left.

"Pack your things and get out of here!"

The old Taoist priest Duan Tian hurriedly spoke to the young Taoist boy.

"Ah? Master, you're leaving already..."

"Nonsense! What if he loses everything and then comes back to cause us trouble?"

"Master, how do you know he will lose everything?"

"He can even fool us, master and apprentice. He's obviously not very bright. There's no way he can win in a place like this. Let's go!"

The old Taoist priest packed up his things, took the young Taoist apprentice, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash.

……

"Young friend, are you a Source Master? If so, you can skip the spirit stones and directly enter the Xuan-level mining area to select raw stones!"

At the entrance to the mine, an entrance fee of two hundred high-grade spirit stones is required, and the cultivator in charge of registration asks many questions.

The rumors are clearly true; the major powers are currently extremely eager for Source Masters.

"no,"

Li Lan paid the fee and entered the outermost "Huang"-branded mining area.

Large mines are generally divided into four mining areas: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. The raw stones in the Heaven area are the rarest, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter. The raw stones in the Yellow area are more common.

But compared to the small mines outside, they are clearly all high-quality.
