(Free.) Many of the monks present also had such thoughts, selling the map in their hands to Wu Caiyan would not only recover the crystal stones spent, but also make a big profit, but it was just a thought, who dared to do so, Lao Mangzi's strength was there, dare to rob his business, the next one to become minced meat on the ground would be oneself.

  "You, don't be too excessive as a human being." Wu Caiyan felt indignant.

  The old blind man didn't say a word, he just waved the map in his hand slightly.

  Wu Cai Chan gazed at Lao Mangzi with a mixture of anger and hatred, along with the other nine demon cultivators. Each map required 500 top-grade pure crystals, which meant they needed 5,000 top-grade pure crystals in total. Even as a princess of the demon tribe, with her wealthy family background, she couldn't afford to take out 5,000 top-grade pure crystals at once.

  Helpless, after careful consideration, Wu Cai Chan took out 2,500 high-quality pure crystal stones and handed them to the old blind man. He bought five maps from him, which were distributed among his four followers, including a maid and three handsome young men from the demon tribe.

  But Bai Qi was not among them.

  Qing Guangzong's Qīng Lǎngjùn also used 500 high-quality pure crystal stones to exchange for a map.

  Ye Feng was dumbfounded at this moment, he really couldn't understand what was wrong with these people. Obviously, it was an old blind man's scam, and now everyone had arrived at the final destination indicated on the map, but Wu Caiyan and Jin Langjun were still rushing to deliver crystal stones to him. It was impossible for all of them to be sick, so the problem must have been with the map.

  Ye Feng couldn't help but look at the map in his hand, and didn't find any difference.

  The old blind man finished the deal, very happy, his face wrinkles opened into a smile, and he shouted loudly: "High price to buy back the map! One piece of top-grade pure crystal stone!"

  My god! Is this still reasonable? I just sold six maps at the price of 500 top-grade crystal stones and earned 3000 top-grade crystal stones, only to have them bought back at the price of one top-grade crystal stone. This old guy is too sneaky!

  "Nobody's moved, so the old blind man said: 'Last ten minutes, price doubled! Two top-grade crystal stones and a map for two bucks. If you want to buy, hurry up, or it'll really be scrapped after this!'"

  Some monks were moved, but seeing that most of them were watching and didn't understand the old blind man's trick, they also didn't make any indication.

  Five minutes passed, and the old blind man reminded: "There are only five more minutes left. After five minutes, even using this thing to wipe your butt is too hard, don't give it to me anymore." His face wore a deeply meaningful smile, looking increasingly sinister.

  "I'm selling!" Finally, some cultivators couldn't help but feel energized. After all, not everyone has a wealthy family background, and the lives of some scattered cultivators are quite difficult. They had thought that they would gain something in this small world, but unexpectedly, they were swindled by Old Blind Man. Someone used a very low price to get the map, and now selling it back to Old Blind Man will likely still yield a profit.

  The old blind man smiled and took over seven or eight maps.

  "After that, he said loudly: 'Discounted, one top-grade crystal stone for one yuan, from now on, the price will be halved every minute.'"

  Just now, several monks who were still observing were stunned. Isn't this a scam? The price kept changing, but no one dared to take Lao Mang's words as nonsense, knowing that he would do what he said.

  "Old man, don't be like that, I'll give you two top-grade crystal stones for the price of one." A monk hastily tried to curry favor with the old blind man. These weren't ordinary crystal stones, but top-grade ones, which would lose half their value in an instant - who could bear it?

  "Only half a minute left before the price drops again!" The old blind man said coldly.

  "I'm selling, I'm selling!" The monk knew that Lao Mang was not joking. Now there were a thousand monks on the scene who had the map in their hands. This thing was now almost as worthless as Chinese cabbage, which could at least be eaten. In Lao Mang's words, it was even too hard to use for wiping one's butt.

  In the blink of an eye, over a hundred cultivators sold the maps in their hands to Lao Mang, and at the same time, they couldn't help but regret being half a beat slower in reacting earlier.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to sell a map? Last minute!" At the same time, Lao Mang said: "Fifty yuan for a mid-grade pure crystal stone and one map!"

  This time it's not just half off, but only one-twentieth of the price. Those who sold their maps are gloating, while those who didn't are thoroughly stunned.

  "I'll buy a map, five top-grade Pure Crystal Stones!" said Bai Qi of the Demon Clan, who had been silent until now.

  It seems he has some idea of the map's value and wants to take advantage of it at the last minute.

  The old blind man smiled and looked at Bai Qi but did not stop him.

  Including Bai Qi, several other demon tribes also got a map at the price of five top-grade Pure Crystal Stones.

  They all stood behind Wu Cai Chan with a satisfied smile, making everyone wonder if this broken map really had any value or secrets.

  "Old Blind Man, haven't you caused enough trouble? Hurry up and get to the main event." Wu Cai Cai's tone was laced with gunpowder, having been swindled out of 2,500 high-quality Pure Crystals by Old Blind Man for no reason, how could she feel good about it.

  "Little girl, you're quite bold with your words. Even the old blind man is someone you dare to call out." Although no overwhelming pressure was released, the icy tone made everyone feel as if they were placed in an ice cellar.

  "Hmm!" Wu Cai Chan didn't dare speak, apparently having some reservations about Old Blind Man.

  The old blind man looked at everyone, although he was blind in both eyes, but everyone felt a sharpness that pierced deep into their hearts.

  "Everyone has come to this small world, many people don't know the secrets of the small world. Here, I'll just say a few words." said Lao Mang Zi.

  Ye Feng quickly concentrated his mind and carefully listened to Lao Mang's words.

  "In this small world, it is said that there is a ruin, which seals something powerful inside. Many people come here for this."

  Lao Mangzi's words caused a stir, and many people, like Ye Feng, only then learned of such a thing.

  "There's no need to be so detailed." Wu Caiying was very dissatisfied with Lao Mangzi, she thought that only a few people needed to know about this kind of thing.

  The old blind man ignored the colorful cicada and continued: "Next, it's time to enter the ruins. After entering, everyone will act on their own, and the treasure will belong to those who are virtuous."

  He raised his head as if looking at the sky and said, "The time has come!"

  Wu Cai Chan was suddenly shocked, and many people also reacted in the same way as Wu Cai Chan.

  "Everyone put your palms on the texture of the ground, and then listen to my command, pour all your cultivation into the texture." The old blind man gave orders to everyone.

  Everyone followed suit and placed their palms on the ground, but whether or not they would follow Lao Mang's instructions to infuse all of their cultivation into the texture was unknown.

  "I'm reminding you all one last time, if anyone dares to hide their true abilities and not give it their all, don't come crying later on, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."

  Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, he was still thinking about not putting in effort, but the old blind man's reminder made him suddenly understand that if he hid his true intentions, he might really regret it.

  "Begin!" The old blind man let out a loud roar, and then he also stuck his palm on the texture of the ground, pouring all his cultivation into the earth.

  Ye Feng retracted his thoughts and poured all of his cultivation into the ground.

  "Boom!" A dazzling light filled the air, like the glow of a small nuclear bomb exploding, enveloping everyone.

  Ye Feng only felt that the spiritual energy in his body was suddenly drained, and he became weak and powerless, his head dizzy and heavy.

  This damned old blind man has been deceived! Ye Feng's first reaction was that he had been cheated by the old blind man, and all his cultivation had been ruined.

  The light flashed quickly, disappeared even faster, in the blink of an eye, it was as if it had never appeared before, completely disappearing without a trace. Just now, in an instant, the texture on the ground lit up, and now it has returned to its original state again.

  Some people were left above, looking at each other in dismay. Among them, the ones who were most perplexed were Bai Qi and the four demons. The old blind man was nowhere to be seen, nor was Wu Caiyan. Many people had vanished.

  When infusing spiritual energy, several people clearly did not hold back and released their strongest spiritual energy, so why are they still here.

  And some others were also puzzled, those who did not have a map in their hands all stayed on the spot, while some of those who held a map in their hands also did not disappear.

  Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a gentle breeze blowing by, his mind cleared up a lot, and his eyes regained their sight. Looking around, this was a strange place, everyone was on a stage, the stage was located halfway up a mountain, looking at its shape, it resembled an altar.

  Looking around, there were half as many people, but familiar faces like Lao Mangzi and Wu Caiyan were still present.

  "Old Blind Man, where are those few underlings of mine!" Wu Cai Cai loudly asked Old Blind Man.

  "Hmph, this has nothing to do with me," said Old Blind Man.

  "My subordinates have all exerted their full strength according to your requirements, how come they haven't made progress." Wu Cai Cai questioned Lao Mang Zi.

  Everyone's symptoms were the same as Ye Feng's at this time, their bodies were weak and powerless, but they could feel the spiritual energy recovering quickly, so no one was in a hurry to get down from the altar.

  "They have no map and can't get in," said the old blind man.

  "You're talking nonsense, they all clearly bought the map." Ye Feng discovered that every cultivator who entered this place had a map from Old Blind Man in their hands. With around 500-600 people arriving here, it meant that at least half of the cultivators were unable to enter this place.

  "Only the maps bought from me are effective, others are useless, what a waste of money! Too extravagant and too wasteful!" The old blind man said with emotion.

  "What the...! This old thing, isn't this a scam? Letting Bai Qi and others waste their crystal stones, knowing beforehand but not warning them, how despicable!" Ye Feng shook his head secretly, thinking to himself that he was still too inexperienced and needed to learn more.

  Wu Cai Chan was furious, but had nothing to say. This matter really couldn't be blamed on Old Blind Man. Bai Qi and the others had bought the map with crystal stones from other cultivators, so they couldn't enter here, indeed having no relation to Old Blind Man.

  "Old blind man, then why couldn't my brother enter with the map he bought from you?" a monk asked loudly.

  "That's what he deserves. I've warned everyone beforehand that they must use their full strength, you all feel it, the consequences are severe, and there won't be a quick recovery."

  The old blind man's words were correct, everyone at this time was either sitting or squatting, and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

  "There's no one who can fully exhibit their skills, as long as they hide a bit of their true nature, there's absolutely no way to enter here, can you blame me?" said the old blind man.

  Ye Feng secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't play tricks, otherwise it would have been miserable. He could only watch as others entered the ancient ruins, while he was powerless to do anything, which was even more unbearable than being killed.

  Having understood everything, Ye Feng quickly regained his spirit. Since he had already entered this place, the next step was to find the core treasure inside the small world. He heard that Lao Mangzi said that something was sealed here, but he didn't know what it was.

  Before long, everyone gradually recovered their spirit and flew away in all directions on their flying swords.

  Seeing someone take the lead in leaving, others naturally don't want to fall behind, so they perk up and scatter away.

  Ye Feng did not leave immediately, but stared at the old blind man. As for this place, Ye Feng knew nothing about it. He estimated that the old blind man must know the secrets of this place. If he wanted to find the treasure, following the old blind man was the right thing to do.

  The old blind man chuckled and turned away, apparently having discovered Ye Feng's intentions, but it was unknown how he could see the road without eyes.

  "Whoa! Such a fast speed, trying to shake me off, think again!" Ye Feng's feet executed the Shrinking Distance technique, chasing after Lao Mangzi's back.
