In this chapter, we learn about the practice of treasure betting, in which people buy and sell items from historical sites in order to make a profit. The manager tells us that the item they're going to use for this round of betting is an ancient treasure from the "shengluo engrossed site" , which is located in the "five northwestern countries" and is said to be a place where ancient empires once flourished. The two men are eager to try their luck at this new game, and they ask the manager to lend them some money so they can play. Worried about their lack of money, the two men decide to get their best swords and show them to the manager. The swords are all top-of-the-line swords, and chen quing doesn't seem to like any of them.
