The blades were sharp but only half remained, the edges covered in rust yet still glinting with a cold light. The arc was winding and slender, and the end was actually connected to a slender...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woman's arm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said: \"This is a pathological creature—the Rending Maiden—slain by a History Walker squad from Jianggan Province within a Pathological Domain. It is in the Dao Foundation realm, with a bewitching and beautiful appearance. Its arms are like scissors and possess an extremely sharp quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only can it unleash slashes just by raising its hands, but when it crosses its arms, gold and iron are as thin as paper before it. It nearly wiped out the entire squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, they had a historical artifact that could make ironware rust, which reduced the sharpness of its arms, allowing them to seize the opportunity to kill it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They came to me to have a sword made from half of the arm, but it was too sharp; every time they used it, they would be cut and bleed uncontrollably, and the wounds would be afflicted with an effect that made them difficult to heal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the remaining part, because it is severely rusted, they wanted to pay to compensate me, but I had never seen such a peculiar demon, so I simply kept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you find a way to wash off the rust, you can use it to make a sword. If you want it, take it for 550,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly. Moreover, this ability overlapped with the Sanskrit Sword and was even inferior. Even if fused, it would likely only increase the sharpness a little; the cost-performance ratio was too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only advantage was that continuous bleeding buff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any flesh-and-blood creature would be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu's expression remained unchanged as he continued to introduce:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the ear of a Dao Foundation realm Red Iron Fighting Tripod. It is a monster from the Ancient Tripod City, naturally fierce and combative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Making it into a Fighting Tripod Amulet can significantly boost combat power for a short time, but it will consume a massive amount of Qi, blood, and vitality. Because the boost is so violent, it is easy to tear one's own body apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity this is only the most common Red Iron Tripod among fighting tripods, not even a Brass Tripod. Take it for 500,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the drawbacks were obvious, it was also a god-tier skill for a burst of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for vitality and Qi and blood, he had ways to replenish them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan thickened his skin and continued to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand holding the oil lamp shook, and Old Man Chu, looking helpless, continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The silk sac of a Mountain Spider. Half has already been made into trauma medicine; I suggest sticking the remaining half directly onto a wound. It can stop bleeding instantly and accelerate wound healing. 400,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eyes collected by a Pupil Child. Crushing them can increase eyesight, or they can be made into an item for intimidating gazes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu had spoken for more than half the wall. Seeing Jiang Yan still waiting for an explanation, he was so angry he blew his beard and stared, waving his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you haven't taken a fancy to any, let's just leave it at that. This old man is thirsty too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish speaking, a cup of tea was handed over to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningning said with a giggle: \"Grandpa Chu, don't be impatient. This shows that Big Brother really wants to buy, which is why he is struggling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu rolled his eyes and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This customer, there aren't many demon corpses left, and there's nothing much left to introduce. If you see anything you like, just ask me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan knew he was annoying the person he was asking, and thought that choosing a tripod fragment wouldn't be bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... acting on the thought that he was already here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan followed the ghostly fire, looking at the remaining demon corpses. His gaze swept over them and he suddenly froze, but quickly returned to calm. He pointed casually at one of them and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Chu, what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu glanced in the direction of his finger and discovered it was a five-meter-long pitch-black snake. Its tail was forked, winding outward to form a hook, and there was a bulge on the right side of the snake's neck, looking extremely ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... I remember now. It seems to be a large snake with a faint trace of Hook Snake bloodline. I remember the person who brought it saying it was a Snake King in a Pathological Domain. It could manipulate shadows, and once touched, one would be poisoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't know what kind of pathology it encountered, causing its body to become deformed and its movement to be hindered. After it was killed, they came to me to take the snake gall to refine detoxifying pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Yan's heart began to beat faster, thump, thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing the Past Lamp-Lighting Scripture, he could see that all things possessed a Life Lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a living being died, its own Life Lamp would remain, though it would be extinguished and dilapidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Lamp not only represented vitality but also symbolized the fate and karma entwined upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the trace of all things' existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Human-Faced Dragon Carp and the Rending Maiden, although they had lost their transcendent organs or were even reduced to mere remains, they still had Life Lamps, though they had become tattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on this Hook Snake's Life Lamp, a small Life Lamp had actually grown. The deformity on its shoulder and neck had actually fed back into its soul and karma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit like the legendary...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One body, multiple souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these characteristics, a snake body, and potent poison, it seemed to correspond to a legendary life from the Classic of Mountains and Seas mythology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he guessed wrong, it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Hook Snake's ability to manipulate shadows and release toxins could also match [Shift and Replace], making him a well-rounded warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's a pity I can't buy the Red Iron Fighting Tripod; I'll just have to wait until next time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not rush to speak, instead looking at the remaining few demon corpses, then deliberately letting his gaze jump between the Fighting Tripod and the Hook Snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he made his decision and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much for this snake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu sipped his tea and said slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"800,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was over budget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't it agreed that they were all around 500,000?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Chu said with a smile: \"Customer, I am not raising the price on the spot. The History Walker who brought it only took the snake gall to refine medicine to save someone, so all of this Hook Snake's transcendent organs are still there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I get it cheaper now that it's been hacked into an incomplete state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan complained internally. Although he was tempted, it was indeed a bit over budget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningning, who was to the side, leaned over and looked at Old Man Chu with eager eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa Chu, when I brought this Big Brother here, I gave him my word that it would be cheap and affordable. Can you give him a regular customer discount? Otherwise, the reputation I've worked so hard to build will be gone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reputation you have is all earned by fleecing me; it's fine if it's gone.\" Old Man Chu rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningning wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yan patted her head and said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Ningning. It's fine, I'll go out for a moment and be back soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan was just about to go out to call Old Ba when he was stopped by Old Man Chu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked his beard and said with a smile: \"Since Ningning has asked me, this old man, I am not someone who is hard to negotiate with. I can even give you a big discount.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing that you really like the Fighting Tripod fragment, how about this: I'll sell you this Hook Snake and the Fighting Tripod fragment together for 400,000.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Yan was not happy, but instead looked vigilant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your requirements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1447,"2026-06-20T04:11:05.849Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a83be7e85f19f9d12b3d471ea6884217bc988805fce35fbee944c63b94f86ec0","history-is-sick-chapter-32","history-is-sick-chapter-30",69,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhistory-is-sick-cover.jpg"]
