Systemless Villain

Chapter 180 Antique Market

While strolling, Lin Fan and Jun Li engaged in various conversations.

"I noticed your mastery of acupuncture techniques. It's quite rare to encounter someone like you, hahaha," praised Jun Li.

"Well, it's actually a hereditary technique passed down in my family. I'm glad I could apply it for you, Mr. Jun," responded Lin Fan, a smile gracing his face.

Jun Li was even more pleased with Lin Fan's humility. "Such a good attitude, and I'm very satisfied with how you handled the situation. You have a bright future, son," he said. "And now, I think I need to reward you after you healed me."

He then took out a card and a key from his spatial ring, handing them to Lin Fan.

Receiving them, Lin Fan was curious, "What is this, Mr. Jun?" he asked.

"The card contains a million Yuan, consider it a small gift. And the key is to a villa in one of the beautiful areas in Tianzhou, you can take it, and I'm sure you'll love it," responded Jun Li, a smile lingering on his face.

Surprise adorned Lin Fan's face. "Mr. Li, I think these two items are too valuable for me," he said.

"Son, it seems you don't know what you've just done. I've suffered from this illness for more than 5 years, and it's been getting worse year by year. Many medical practitioners and even the most famous doctors tried to cure me, but they all failed. Yet, here you are, successfully healing me. I'm very grateful," expressed Jun Li sincerely.

Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, not expecting Jun Li's condition to be so serious. He was confident it was a simple ailment.

"Well, I'm also thankful to you, Mr. Jun. And I want to clarify one more thing. Your ailment wasn't heart failure; it was a blockage in the dantian area, preventing Reiki from flowing to some parts of your body, especially the heart. That's why Zhou Jin referred to it as heart failure. Well, he wasn't entirely wrong. If left untreated, it could indeed lead to heart failure, fortunately, it wasn't too severe," he explained.

Jun Li nodded earnestly, absorbing every word from Lin Fan.

"Seeing how you explain, it seems you are indeed highly skilled in medicine. I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to introduce you to some masters who also understand medicine. Coincidentally, I am a member of the medical council in Tianzhou. What do you think?" he offered.

"That seems like an opportunity; of course, I won't refuse," Lin Fan responded, smiling.

Jun Li smiled back, highly impressed with Lin Fan. "I'll give you one more thing," he said, then pulled out a necklace with a solid yellow jade pendant. He handed it to Lin Fan.

Receiving it, Lin Fan looked curious, "What is this, Mr. Jun?" he asked.

"It's a special token of the Jun family. It comes with various privileges and benefits. For example, if you visit all Juntian stores, you'll get significant discounts and priority when queuing. Or perhaps if you participate in a Tianfa auction, you'll get one item for free, but that only applies once for each auction," Jun Li explained.

Hearing this, Lin Fan was surprised. The token had many benefits, and he was, of course genuinely pleased.

"Thank you, Mr. Jun; I'll gladly accept this," he said.

Jun Li nodded, smiling. "Alright, I think that's all I need to say. Since I'm much healthier now, I want to meet my grandchildren in Beijing," he said.

Then he took out another card from his spatial ring and handed it to Lin Fan. "This is my home address; come around a week later, and there will be a feast at the Jun family," he said.

"Sure," Lin Fan responded.

"Okay, then I'll leave now," Jun Li said.

With that, he walked away, leaving Lin Fan still standing but with a broad smile on his face. Today was his lucky day, despite an assassin trying to kill him.

"What a beautiful day; looks like I need to go buy some things. And it wouldn't hurt to visit the antique market," he said.

With that, he headed straight to a certain place.

About an hour elapsed, and the atmosphere grew colder as darkness draped Tianzhou in a starless night.

In a relatively expansive area, numerous people bustled around, their bright lights casting a glow over the entire space.

Individuals of all ages traversed the zone, from young children to adults.

"Come and get it, age-boosting apples! Only 500 Yuan!"

"On sale, stylish shirts for just 100 Yuan each!"

"Soul beast meat, cheap at only 500 Yuan per piece!"

The scene buzzed with the calls of various sellers. Yes, this was the market in the Gunji district, situated in the heart of Tianzhou.

Amidst the commotion, a handsome young man strolled calmly through the market streets.

The farther he ventured, the more stall owners proffered their goods.

"Test your luck and bet on stone gambling! Come here and don't hesitate!"

"John Xina shirts, don't miss out!"

"Darn it, are they selling invisible clothes?"

Diverse voices distinctly conveyed the vibrant atmosphere of the traditional market. However, the young man, none other than Long Tian, ventured deeper into the market, making his way to the antique market area in another section.

His gaze swept around, searching for someone. Since Guan Ji had provided him with information that Lin Fan would be heading to the Gunji district, he certainly wouldn't remain idle.

Now in the antique goods area, there were fewer people compared to the entrance but still a lively scene.

Here, most sellers spread out carpets and showcased their wares directly, with only a few having stalls. True to its name, this area teemed with sellers of antique items.

At this moment, Long Tian's attention was captured by a young man about his age who was crouched in front of one of the sellers.

His gaze scrutinized the young man. The figure seemed somewhat familiar, allowing him to recognize him.

"I found you, Lin Fan!" he declared with a grin.

With those words, he made his way toward Lin Fan.
