"I acquired it by chance," Xian Tiandi explained. "On a particular day, there was a cultivator's gathering. An old vendor was selling various techniques and artifacts. Most were clearly fake or useless."
He maintained his tone as someone recounting a fortunate discovery.
"But one technique scroll caught my attention. The vendor claimed it might be genuine, though he wasn't certain. The price was low because of the uncertainty. I took a chance and purchased it. When I studied it later, I realized it was real."
"A genuine treasure hidden among fakes," Yue Lian murmured. "You have excellent instincts, young master. Many cultivators would have passed it by."
'She really isn't putting on airs. Calling me young master,' Xian Tiandi thought to himself.
She returned to her position by the window. "I must ask, would you be willing to share that technique with the Four Symbols Sect? We would compensate you generously, of course. Name your price."
