"The amount is right, this painting is yours now..."

The middle-aged man quickly counted the chips, and indeed it was two million, with an additional ten thousand as a tip, which Young Master Liang didn't mind at all, and he pretended not to see it either.

Basically, this transaction was over. They took two sheets of paper from the side, each wrote a simple transaction contract, and after both parties signed it, the transaction was completed.

The middle-aged man didn't want to stay there any longer and immediately took the chips to the gaming table, seemingly eager to win back his losses.

"I'll pay you back later..."

Qin Fang rolled up the painting again, held it in his hand, and did not forget to say something to Young Master Liang.

"Young Master Qin, you're too polite, it's just a small amount of money..."

Young Master Liang waved his hand carelessly, saying that it was no big deal, since Qin Fang had helped him win money, selling Qin Fang a favor, so why not?

"Business is business... Let's go and have some fun over there!"

Qin Fang knew what was on Young Master Liang's mind, but he didn't care, pointing to a table not far away, and the two of them went over together.

A few minutes later, Qin Fang pushed a pile of chips to Young Master Liang, about two million, "Here's the money back... I owe you one!"

Qin Fang did not like owing others. Two million was not a big deal for him, but at that moment, it was more appropriate to directly give that middle-aged man the chips, so when Young Master Liang offered, Qin Fang did not stop him.

He would definitely repay the money; he was not short of it. But he acknowledged this favor, and after interacting with Young Master Liang, he found him to be a decent person and could consider him a friend, so he naturally wouldn't keep his distance.

"This is what you call amazing..."

Young Master Liang was quite proud at this moment, recalling when he was with He Feifan. Although he made a name for himself, compared to Qin Fang, He Feifan was nothing!

A piece of ancient painting worth a million, bought with two million on the spot, and Qin Fang didn't even have to spend his own money. A few plays at the table and the money was immediately covered.

It was as if the casino paid for Qin Fang's antique purchase...

"Young Master Qin, is this painting really something good?"

Young Master Liang accepted all the chips without fuss, as Qin Fang's words were enough, and he understood that Qin Fang didn't care about such small amounts of money.

With Qin Fang's skill, two million was just a few minutes' work, so why would he worry about this?

However, regarding Qin Fang's intention with the painting, Young Master Liang sensed something unusual, though he knew it might be a touchy subject. His curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It's kinda good..."

Qin Fang chuckled and replied vaguely without giving a clear explanation.

"As long as it's something good, as long as it's good..."

Young Master Liang, being sensible, understood that Qin Fang seemed unwilling to elaborate about the painting, knowing he probably crossed the line, so he didn't ask further.

It wasn't that Qin Fang didn't want to say anything; rather, it was pointless even if he did.

This painting was indeed a good item; although not a master's work, it still held some value.

But regarding its true worth, that fell short.

In some people's eyes, this painting was merely a common piece of artwork, or perhaps just an antique.

Yet in the eyes of certain individuals, it was absolutely priceless.

Unfortunately, only Qin Fang might be aware of its secret.

"This trip was not in vain..."

Qin Fang sat there watching the gamblers bustling and shouting, but his thoughts drifted far away, as he sighed inwardly.

"I never expected to find such a treasure in Macau..."

It was indeed unexpected. Had he not skipped shopping with Tang Feifei and the others, or meeting with Kong Er and Qu Yuancheng, but instead came to Kailay with Young Master Liang to play a few hands, he wouldn't have encountered this painting-selling middle-aged man, and wouldn't have obtained this painting.

The painting itself wasn't particularly special, but it concealed a very big secret.

Of course, this secret was probably only solvable by Qin Fang.

Even if someone else accidentally discovered it, it would still be useless, because this secret was primarily of interest to martial artists... Specifically, this painting contained a cultivation technique.

Qin Fang's current strength had reached a very high level, and due to the national arts skill, he wasn't lacking in cultivation techniques.

But national arts are national arts; as Qin Fang's horizons widened, he realized that national arts were simply a modern term, and the true essence of Longguo martial arts was far more complex.

The martial arts of old, known as martial skills, were once extremely prosperous, but eventually fell into decline, and martial artists today couldn't cultivate true qi, resorting to practicing inner breath, only managing to condense true qi after reaching grandmaster level.

Back in ancient times, an inner sect expert would cultivate true qi right from the start... The difference is obvious.
