175: Chapter 175 Immortality Can Be Achieved Through This Method

He flipped open that worn-out notebook.

It was filled with densely packed writing.

Some entries analyzed soil quality, while others recorded local customs.

This notebook had been used, but judging by its contents, there was no apparent connection to 'transactions' at all.

"How much for this notebook?" Although he didn't quite understand the situation, Luo Wei still intended to buy it.

"Hmm?" The scholarly young man looked at the worn-out notebook in confusion.

He hadn't expected such a notebook to be tucked away inside a box full of ancient books.

He scratched his head sheepishly. "My grandfather used that notebook; it shouldn't be worth anything. If you like it, just take it."

"Your grandfather was into geological prospecting, wasn't he?" Luo Wei remarked casually while flipping through the notebook's contents.

"Coincidentally, I'm also a geology major, so this notebook will be very useful to me. I'll give you a hundred yuan!"

Luo Wei took out a bill and handed it to him. The scholarly man was flattered and quickly thanked him.

Having successfully purchased the book of transactions, Luo Wei stored it in his inventory.

Back then, it was also after the white jade porcelain bottle entered the inventory...

...that Luo Wei discovered it could generate spirit liquid.

He left the book of transactions in the inventory for a while.

When he took it out again, sure enough, the book of transactions had changed!

The notebook that had just been worn out and filled with writing...

...was now brand new. It was as if it had been restored to factory settings; all the written content had disappeared!

Not only that, but four gilded characters appeared on the brand-new black leather cover: Everything Can Be Traded!

At the same time, under the gaze of the Intelligence Eye, the information on the book of transactions changed!

'The book of transactions wants to establish a contract with you.'

Hmm?

This book actually wants to form a contract?

Before Luo Wei could react, he saw a drop of crimson blood seep out from the spine of the notebook!

He quickly reached out and caught the drop of blood!

The blood merged into his palm!

The character for 'contract' appeared, and the contract was complete!

At this moment, Luo Wei felt countless threads of connection with the book of transactions!

He instantly understood what the four characters on the cover of the book of transactions, 'Everything Can Be Traded,' meant!

Through this book of transactions, everything in the world could be traded!

Whether it was lifespan, looks, luck, and so on—all could be traded!

Having figured out the purpose of this book of transactions...

...Luo Wei was overjoyed!

This thing was simply heaven-defying!

He couldn't wait to find someone to trade with!

He turned his head to look at the shifty-eyed Ma Tianming.

At this moment, Ma Tianming was watching with great interest as everyone bid to snatch up the old farmer's bronze ware.

If he had money, he would have wanted to bid too; that bronze ware was clearly genuine, and he could surely make a fortune if he bought it!

Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. Ma Tianming turned around and saw Luo Wei, giving him a start!

He had completely forgotten that he was cooperating with an investigation and was here to redeem himself through service.

Luo Wei chuckled and asked him, "You want money, right?"

Ma Tianming instinctively wanted to nod.

But he hurriedly shook his head in denial.

Luo Wei continued.

"I can give you a sum of money. What do you plan to exchange for it?"

"..." Ma Tianming looked at the handsome Law enforcement personnel before him in confusion, completely unable to grasp what he meant.

Luo Wei sized up the shifty-eyed Ma Tianming, looking to see if he had anything valuable on him.

Just then, the Intelligence Eye gave a prompt.

'This person has 60 years of lifespan remaining.'

It really is true that the good die young while the wicked live for a thousand years!

A scumbag like Ma Tianming actually had such a long lifespan!

Luo Wei made an immediate decision and proposed to Ma Tianming, "I'll give you ten thousand yuan to buy sixty years of your lifespan. Do you agree?"

"Huh?" Ma Tianming was dumbfounded, thinking he had misheard. "What do you mean, buy my lifespan?"

Luo Wei didn't waste words and took ten thousand yuan in cash directly from his inventory.

"It means that if you agree to sell sixty years of your lifespan..."

"...you can take this ten thousand yuan and leave immediately!"

"You... you're buying my lifespan? You won't do anything crazy to me, will you?" Ma Tianming still didn't understand the situation.

Luo Wei explained patiently, "No. Once the transaction is complete, we won't see each other again!"

"Then... I agree!" Ma Tianming didn't believe for a second that lifespan could be bought or sold!

He was very greedy for the stack of bright red bills in Luo Wei's hand!

Since Ma Tianming agreed, Luo Wei handed him the ten thousand yuan in cash.

Worried that Luo Wei would change his mind, Ma Tianming took the money and quickly turned to leave!

As he reached the entrance of the auction, he suddenly felt a sense of daze.

He forgot the transaction that had just occurred and couldn't understand why he had a thick stack of money in his hand.

However, he didn't think too much about it. Since he had money now, he decided to find a woman and have some fun!

'This person has forgotten about selling their lifespan.'

Luo Wei watched Ma Tianming leave.

The Intelligence Eye provided information that Ma Tianming had forgotten the transaction.

After completing a transaction, the other party would forget about it!

This was truly wonderful; it could avoid a lot of trouble!

Luo Wei smiled and flipped open the brand-new book of transactions.

Just a moment ago, every page of the book was blank.

Now, at the first line of the first page...

...the information about the recent transaction appeared.

[Ma Tianming sold 60 years of lifespan, obtained 10,000 yuan]

[60 years of lifespan: Pending extraction]

Luo Wei commanded in his mind, "Extract lifespan!"

Suddenly, a wisp of silver mist emerged from the book of transactions!

People were coming and going around him, but no one saw the silver mist lingering in Luo Wei's palm.

Using the Intelligence Eye, Luo Wei gazed at the ball of silver mist.

Textual information appeared next to the silver mist.

'This is a sixty-year lifespan.'

'Injecting it into any living body can extend its life by sixty years.'

Without hesitation, Luo Wei pressed the ball of silver mist against his chest!

The silver mist slowly merged into his body, and he clearly felt his vitality become more vigorous!

With an additional sixty years of lifespan, he could live to be at least 120 or 130 years old!

However, living to 120 or 130 was nothing!

As long as he kept buying other people's lifespans...

...and merging them into his own body...

...then he could achieve immortality this way!

Such a thought made Luo Wei's heart surge with excitement!

This book of transactions was practically a divine tool!

But soon, Luo Wei calmed down!

Immortality did not mean being unkillable!

If he suffered a heavy blow, he would still kick the bucket no matter how long his lifespan was!

Therefore, he not only had to collect lifespan but also had to constantly make himself stronger so that he would have the strength to deal with any danger!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Wei stored the book of transactions back into his inventory.

He activated the Eye of Thoroughness and looked around the messy underground auction once more.

This time, he didn't find anything else emitting a glow.

However, he was not disappointed.

He had just acquired the extremely heaven-defying book of transactions!

It was lucky he had followed a whim and had Ma Tianming bring him to this underground auction.

Otherwise, he would have certainly missed out on that book of transactions.

He continued to observe the surroundings.

Luo Wei saw a woman with a baby face but an incredibly hot body.

Although he was greedy and lustful, he wasn't a starving ghost of lust; he admired the woman from afar without approaching her.

There were indeed good things at this underground auction, but none of the kind that Luo Wei wanted.

After circling the venue, he didn't stay any longer in such a foul-smelling place...
