Lin Tian directly walked in front of the stall owner and began to carefully search for what he wanted.

Unfortunately, although most people's stalls were much rarer and rarer than the ones at the previous trade fair, there was not much that could enter Lin Tian Fa's eyes.

However, he also saw a few incomplete martial arts, but their grade were not high. Their might was not even comparable to his Great Manifestation Fist.

As a result, Lin Tian began to lose interest.

Li Wan'er had been following behind Lin Tian the entire time. Now that she saw Lin Tian's expression, she knew that most of the things on the stall weren't worth looking at.

She said to Lin Tian in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. We can't find what you're looking for here, and the auction, the Qing Xuan Pavilion's auction, only once a year. All of the things that can be auctioned are things that have been carefully selected by grandmaster Ma."

Lin Tian nodded his head, but there was some disapproval in his heart. In the two consecutive trade fairs, Lin Tian was unable to obtain what he wanted, so he did not have much hope for the auction.

As the two were strolling, Lin Tian suddenly felt his soul in the Divine Manor throb.

More accurately speaking, the archaic dragon symbol between his soul and spirit throbbed.

"What is it?" Lin Tian was secretly shocked. It was the first time that Lin Tian had encountered something that could trigger the ancient dragon talisman.

He followed the throbbing sensation in his body and stopped in front of a half-naked man.

Lin Tian stopped in front of the big man's stall and squatted down. He began to carefully search the items on the stall.

There were almost nothing else on the stall, and they were all extremely strange little things.

There were broken bone fragments, broken beads, and even pieces of wood. There were even broken weapons and armor.

Almost everything was complete.

Lin Tian touched everything over, but he didn't find the feeling of using the Ancient Dragon Symbol again.

Currently, Lin Tian's Divine Palace was completely dead silent. The feeling just now had strangely disappeared.

How could this be?

Lin Tian then raised his head and sized up the big man who was setting up the stall. This big man was half naked and had a fiendish look on his face, and the key point was that he had an extremely bad smell. It was the smell of someone entering and leaving the ancient tomb.

"An explorer?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask as he looked at the big man's clothes.

Explorers were people who risked their life to trade for wealth. Wealth came from danger, and on Sky Dragon Continent, countless strong warriors were born. However, most of those strong warriors were already dead.

However, the treasures they left behind were still there.

Thus, the industry of explorer was born.

Even though they were explorers, they were actually tombs robbers. Many of them were exceptionally strong, specifically searching for the tombs of martial cultivators or treasures left behind by ancient supreme elders.

If these people were to discover a supreme expert's treasure or a top tier martial cultivator's tomb and obtain the treasure within, their strength would quickly increase.

Moreover, some of the treasures could be auctioned off or sold directly to merchant companies like the Clear Xuan Pavilion and the Tian Luo Merchant Union.

Therefore, any explorer, especially those with good luck, would not only become stronger, but also become richer.

On the Sky Dragon Continent, many of the top clans and powers have relied on this path to develop.

However, the explorer in front of him right now did not look like an explorer at all.

His strength was not bad, around the 4th level of the Qi Sea. It was even a bit stronger than Lin Tian's strength.

But no matter how you looked at it, he looked extremely shabby, not like any other explorer who was wealthy. Moreover, he wasn't like the other explorers, where everything was placed in perfect condition.

The items placed on top of his booth were obviously freshly dug out from the tomb, but they were only fragments.

"I am an explorer, yes. It's just that I just did this job, I don't really understand the rules yet …" The big man had a ferocious expression, but his words were unusually simple and honest.

Lin Tian stared blankly, then asked: "I just turned into an explorer, what did you do before?"

"Before, I was a mercenary, the leader of the Thunder Leopard Mercenaries in the Heavenly Thunder City, but because I was greedy and accepted a mission that I could not complete, causing all my brothers to be damaged, I had no choice but to become an explorer. This is something that I obtained from my first exploration." The big guy explained and said, "My name is Lei Bao, you can pick whatever you like. However, the prices of my things aren't low. After all, I have to feed a lot of my brothers' families and children …"

Mercenaries and explorers were different. Mercenaries did physical work, and they also conducted rich and wealthy businesses. However, the mercenary's strength wasn't too high, and the mercenary's original request was to earn money, not to increase his own strength.

The first goal of an explorer was to increase their own strength by excavating the treasures of a martial cultivator's tomb to obtain the treasures within, and to increase their own strength.

Explorers did not do this purely for wealth, money, or simply for the sake of convenience.

Thus, when Lin Tian heard Lei Bao's story, he immediately understood.

"Let me see it again." Lin Tian didn't immediately ask for something.

This was because at this time, his Divine Palace no longer throbbed in the slightest. The feeling just now had completely disappeared.

However, Lin Tian also didn't understand what was going on.

He shook his head and was at a loss, "Did I sense wrongly?"

He tried taking two steps forward, but the Divine Manor was still unmoving. After Lin Tian left the range of Lei Bao's stall, the throbbing sensation from the Divine Manor once again came over.

Lin Tian was surprised. He could not help but communicate with the main character in his Divine Palace to ask him what was going on.

"I can't sense anything that the Archaic Dragon Talisman can sense. After all, the Archaic Dragon Talisman is the Ancestral Dragon's spirit talisman, so naturally, I can't sense it." Actually, when you were in front of the booth just now, I used the power of my soul to investigate it. But, it is a pity, I wasn't able to find anything … " Horned Demon replied indifferently.

"This is strange. Just now, when I was in front of the stall, why did that throbbing sensation suddenly disappear?" Lin Tian's face was filled with confusion as he returned to Lei Bao's stall.

Once again, he gently caressed the tattered clothes on Lei Bao's booth.

His Divine Palace once again stopped throbbing, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lin Tian was puzzled. Li Wan'er, who was looking at Lin Tian's expression behind him, was also somewhat puzzled. Lin Tian Yun was lost in thought and didn't know what he was doing.

Lin Tian calmed his heart this time and once again looked around at everything on the stall in front of him.

Broken beads, half crippled pieces of wood, pieces of demon beast bone, and even some broken hilt of a weapon. There were even some other things, without exception, Lin Tian had rubbed them all over the place, but his own Divine Manor did not have the slightest reaction!

Just as Lin Tian was disappointed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the booth. It was a damp wooden box that even had a rotten smell.

"Could it be that box?" Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, but he didn't directly take the box. Instead, he took a light red broken bead into his hand.

"How much is this thing?" Lin Tian asked.

"Ten gold coins." Lei Bao said in embarrassment.

"10 gold coins!" Lin Tian looked at Lei Bao in disbelief. No wonder no one came to Lei Bao's stall. This broken bead had no value at all, yet it dared to ask for 10 gold coins!

It had to be known that 10 gold coins was enough for a normal family to spend for a year. When Uncle Yu and Lin Tian were living in Sky Dragon City, they only had a little more than 10 gold coins a year.

But now, this broken bead actually dared to ask for ten gold coins.

"This isn't how a scam works." Li Wan'er shouted in anger, "I'm going to find Master Ma and chase this scumbag out!"

"Little brother, little girl, give me a chance to live. Our mercenary group only has me left, we are all dead, but our wives and children, the elderly are all here, I alone have to take care of everyone, and I would not take the risk to become an adventurer if I did not force myself onto a path of no return …" When Lei Bao heard that Li Wan'er wanted to go find Master Ma, he was shocked and hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Li Wan'er's anger hadn't subsided, Lei Bao continued, "I know that my junk isn't worth much, but I need money, otherwise so many people would starve. How about this, this bead, since little brother has taken a fancy to it, I'll give it to you. Don't look for Master Ma, okay?"

Lin Tian held onto Li Wan'er and then smiled: "Your bead really isn't worth 10 gold coins. How about this, I will pay you 10 gold coins, but I'll pick another thing to take away, is that okay?"

Lin Tian really didn't think that Lei Bao would actually still be so loyal, which made him want to give him a hand. Moreover, Lei Bao's cultivation wasn't weak, so Lin Tian also had intentions of interacting with him.

Lei Bao knew that Lin Tian was purposely helping him. He smiled brightly: "Little brother, what do you like, just take it. Don't even mention giving one to me, I'll just give it all to you."

Lin Tian unintentionally swept his gaze a few times before his gaze finally fell onto the wooden box. He directly picked up the wooden box and said: "One bead, if it's missing a box to store the beads, then give this box to me."

"Good, good, good." When he dug out this box from the tomb, he almost threw it away. But after thinking about it, after all, it was dug out from the tomb, so he decided to try and take it back, just in case someone wanted to take it.

However, even though there was nothing inside the box, there was still a putrid smell coming from it. Lei Bao casually threw it to the side as he set up his stall.

Lin Tian grabbed the box.

A sudden change occurred within his Divine Palace.

Lin Tian felt his mouth go dry: "That's right, this is precisely the box, it actually caused the Primordial Dragon Symbol to react. This box looks ordinary, but I'm sure that there are still secrets hidden inside."

Lin Tian's heart was greatly moved, but his face did not have the slightest reaction.

He took out a hundred gold coins from his storage ring and tossed it to Lei Bao.

"I've already taken all of these items. A hundred gold coins should be sufficient." Lin Tian did not have any attachment to money, after the looting of the Black Wind Stronghold, the treasures, money, and other things that had been stored in the Black Wind Stronghold for many years were all taken away by Lin Tian. However, there weren't any special treasures, but the amount of money was quite a bit, with a total of a thousand gold coins.

"This …" Lei Bao's face immediately changed. He didn't know what Lin Tian meant.

"Not bad, you're a friend." Lin Tian slightly smiled as he spoke to Lei Bao.

Since he knew that this box was dug out by Lei Bao, then Lin Tian couldn't let go of this opportunity. To be able to trigger the Ancient Dragon Rune, it must have been something extraordinary, and Lei Bao dug out this box from some tomb. Then, Lin Tian definitely wouldn't let go of that cave abode.
