Upon hearing Lin Xiaotian's words, Young Master Xu immediately nodded like a pecking chicken, "Understood, Mr. Lin, you can rest assured, I know what to do."
"As long as these paintings are in my hands, I will definitely find some overseas buyers. I believe they will be very interested in these paintings, but I think selling them for money is a waste. Showing this kind of technique to them is even a blasphemy."
"Later, we can use these paintings to exchange for our precious antiques. Even if we take a slight loss, it doesn't matter."
"After all, our family has a technique that can reveal the paintings into two layers, or even three layers."
The main reason for being able to do this is the profound brushwork.
Young Master Xu also expressed his desire to swindle some foreigners, finding it exhilarating just thinking about it.
He could easily fool those who didn't understand this field with the paintings Lin Xiaotian could casually produce. Even if they were authenticated, they might not be able to determine the authenticity of the paintings, as their so-called authentication relied more on instruments. Xuan paper from different eras, even blank Xuan paper, left many traces.
This kind of thing wasn't particularly precious, as paper was quite valuable back then, so many unearthed papers from various places were overlooked and ignored due to their lack of significant value.
Lin Xiaotian naturally understood these matters. His eyes held a smile, "Since we've agreed to cooperate, you'll definitely be able to profit from it. You don't have to give it all to me. We can set a profit-sharing ratio now."
"I'll give you a few paintings, and you can take them. How many treasures you can exchange for depends on your skills. We'll split it 80/20. You just need to show me the receipts later."
"I believe you won't do anything that betrays me."
Young Master Xu's eyes held a hint of emotion, "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, I will never betray you or do anything that wrongs you. You are my master now, and it is my honor that you bestow such great favor upon me."
Lin Xiaotian simply smiled faintly, "I hope you can always remember these words. You already know my strength. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you in this matter, you can come to me anytime."
"We have now established a cooperative relationship. Besides these antiques, you can also bring the antiques collected by your family to exchange with me, or if you want anything, you can get it from me."
"For example, if you want to cultivate and become stronger, you can't do without elixirs. As long as you bring antiques and some precious medicinal ingredients to me, I can refine medicines for you to help you break through your strength rapidly."
"Even if you are an ordinary person with no talent, I can make you a master in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Xu became extremely excited. If anyone else had said this, he wouldn't have believed it, but the person saying it was Lin Xiaotian.
In his heart, Lin Xiaotian was like an immortal.
His eyes grew increasingly excited, "Mr. Lin, can I really become a master as in the legends?"
"My talent is very limited, which is why my father is very displeased with me. My strength is only barely at the legendary master level of the Houtian realm, which is still far from it."
"I don't ask to be a master, even if I can barely reach the Xiantian realm and increase my lifespan by several decades, I would be content."
Without entering the Xiantian realm, one remains in the mortal realm. Only by entering the Xiantian realm does one develop an internal breath. At that stage, the human body cannot be said to be immune to all poisons, but at least it can prevent oneself from suffering from certain illnesses.
Common ailments simply do not appear in Xiantian martial artists, and the benefits are simply immeasurable.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Young Master Xu shook his head like a rattle drum, his gaze becoming increasingly firm, "Mr. Lin, our family is currently in dire need of top experts."
"Can you help our family's Grandmasters to advance further? Even if it's just barely reaching the legendary realm like my father, it would be enough. After all, our family's enemies would no longer trouble us. Then we can develop more stably. I can assure you that I will absolutely not let those people do anything harmful. Otherwise, you won't have to act, I will have them killed directly."
Lin Xiaotian said faintly, "I already told you before, if you want anything, you can bring antiques and medicinal ingredients to exchange with me."
"I can decide now. I will give you a list of the medicines I want. You go and collect the medicinal ingredients. I believe it won't be difficult for your family's financial resources to collect these ingredients. Then, just bring these medicinal ingredients and antiques that you feel are of equivalent value."
"Within three to five days at most, I will deliver the medicines to you."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Xu could no longer contain his emotions, because he knew very well that as long as he obtained these medicines, the people in the family would be completely loyal.
Those people did not truly respect him now; their fear was directed towards Lin Xiaotian.
As long as he could bring back this good news, he believed that those people would flock to him, especially the few ancient Grandmasters in the family. He believed those old fellows would put aside their arrogant demeanor.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared uncontrollably on his face, "Mr. Lin, I need three elixirs to break through the Grandmaster realm and above, and then some medicines tailored for me by Mr. Han Qiu."
"See what kind of medicinal ingredients you need, and I'll have someone prepare them immediately."
Lin Xiaotian took out a piece of paper from the side, casually wrote down some precious medicinal ingredients, and then said faintly, "If you can't collect the medicinal ingredients, you can first bring the corresponding antiques. It's entirely up to you."
"This will be my labor fee. Remember to be quick, I'm starting to run low on stock here."
How could Young Master Xu miss such a good opportunity?
