Chapter 64

"What is the use of spirit stones?"

"They are useless!"

"Only when they are turned into useful things can the value of spirit stones be reflected!"

After spending another large sum of spirit stones, He Ping felt a bit of heartache, and then, while secretly throwing the newly bought Disguise Talisman into his storage bag, he muttered to himself for comfort.

He only had a little over one thousand one hundred spirit stones left that he could use.

He Ping felt he had bought enough, so he stopped wandering around and found a tree shade with fewer people to sit down and wait for the three of them, Xu Changan, and the others.

After about an hour, the three of them walked over, looking excited.

"Junior Brother..."

"Old Nine!"

Xu Changan said, "What did you buy?"

He Ping said, "I bought a few talismans for self-defense and such. Did you buy any defensive magic treasures?"

"No!" Zhao Linger shook her head and said, "Too expensive..."

"By the way, just now I saw a top-tier defensive magic treasure over at Shunhe Hall, called something like 【Vine Armor Shield】; it was truly excellent!"

"That's right!" Xu Changan also added, "If you could get that thing and refine all four layers of the array on it, you could easily block attacks from cultivators of the same rank just by opening the defense!"

"With this thing, even if you ran into a twelfth-layer Qi Condensation fellow, you would have a chance to escape!"

He Ping's heart stirred, and he said, "Is it that powerful?"

He really didn't know how powerful a top-tier magic treasure was.

The key was, why did this Vine Armor Shield sound so familiar?

And Shunhe Hall!

He Ping remembered that he had sold a top-tier magic treasure to that shopkeeper at Shunhe Hall, for a total of one thousand one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

"That's right!" Tian Xiaoqing said, "That is a top-tier magic treasure, but unfortunately it's too expensive; we definitely can't afford it!"

He Ping quickly asked, "How many spirit stones?"

Tian Xiaoqing said, "One thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

He Ping suddenly felt a bit unwell.

One thousand five hundred?

They bought it from me for one thousand one hundred and fifty, and turned around and made a profit of four hundred and fifty?

How dark!

These merchant associations are truly dark.

But on second thought, they also need to make money, and right now it's the opening of the Mystic Realm that happens once every thirty years, so almost everything is increasing in price.

So, this price seems okay.

"Let's go, let's go..." Zhao Linger said, "We can return to the sect... we'll talk when we get back to the sect!"

"Alright!"

The four of them didn't say anything more, but instead summoned their paper cranes again, jumped on, and flew into the clouds.

At sunset, the four of them landed directly on the peak of Xiuzhu Xu Kunlun.

"Junior Brother... come, I'll show you a treasure!" Zhao Linger took a deep breath and then pulled He Ping toward her small courtyard.

Behind them, Xu Changan and Tian Xiaoqing naturally followed.

"Close the door!"

"Qiao Shijie, open your array!"

A first-tier confinement array was opened.

Only then did Zhao Linger carefully take out her treasure bag and say, "Old Nine, today the three of us bought a treasure together!"

"Let you take a look, but we don't know what this treasure is either; we still need to show it to Master later!"

As she spoke, Zhao Linger took a pitch-black bead out of the treasure bag.

Seeing this bead, He Ping was immediately stunned.

Oh my... isn't this the bead that old man was selling?

He Ping had wanted to buy this bead back then, but unfortunately, the other party asked for ten thousand spirit stones right away. The price was too high, and after He Ping refused, the other party lowered the price several times, so he knew it was a scam.

No... how did these three little cuties end up buying it?

Wait a minute...

Didn't Old Six, Zhao Linger, just say that the three of them bought it together?

And they must have spent quite a few spirit stones on it, right?

"Old Nine... this is truly a good treasure!" Xu Changan said, "If you don't believe me, hold it in your hand; there's a special feeling!"

"It's as if the whole person has become clear!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tian Xiaoqing said, "When I hold it in my hand, it's like my spiritual sense is clear!"

He Ping didn't hold it.

Because he had already held it.

He looked up at Zhao Linger and asked, "Qiao Shijie... how many spirit stones did it cost?"

Zhao Linger was excited: "Only one thousand..."

Pfft...

He Ping almost vomited!

One thousand!

And you say "only"?

"I didn't actually have that many spirit stones on me, so I put together four hundred, and then Old Seven and Old Eight each put together three hundred; this treasure is now jointly owned by the three of us!"

"Junior Brother!" Zhao Linger looked expectant: "What do you think of this thing?"

He Ping didn't want to make them sad, so he shook his head and said, "I can't understand it!"

Xu Changan said, "Don't worry, it definitely won't be wrong!"

"You didn't see that old man who sold it; he looked like an immortal with a refined demeanor, he was definitely a senior expert!"

"Yes!" Zhao Linger also nodded: "Very stylish!"

He Ping:............

"Since none of us recognize it, let's let Master take a look!" Xu Changan suggested: "Let's go find Master!"

"Let's go..."

"Go, go, go..."

He Ping watched the three of them walking happily toward the Master Yu Ninggong together and immediately touched his forehead: No, for cultivators, as their spiritual sense becomes more profound, doesn't their intelligence gradually expand too?

Why do these three little cuties seem to have no intelligence?

While he was thinking, Zhao Linger even turned back and waved at him: "Little Junior Brother, you come along too!"

Alright!

He Ping could only follow quickly.

The four of them arrived at the entrance of Master Yu Ninggong.

"Disciples Zhao Linger, Tian Xiaoqing, Xu Changan, and He Ping, pay respects to Master!" Zhao Linger bowed respectfully toward the gate and called out the names of all four people in one breath.

The voice of Yu Ning came from inside: "Come in!"

Hum, hum, hum...

Between heaven and earth, a trace of invisible energy disappeared.

He Ping knew that this was the defensive array of Master Yu Ninggong being withdrawn.

The four of them opened the door of the main hall and filed in.

Master Yu Ning sat high on the stone platform.

"Greetings, Master!" The four of them bowed in unison.

Yu Ning nodded and said, "What is it?"

Zhao Linger said, "Master, Seventh Junior Sister, Eighth Junior Brother, and I bought a treasure together, but we don't know what the use of this treasure is, so we came specifically to let Master take a look!"

"Oh?" A light flashed in Yu Ning's eyes, and she immediately looked very happy.

She took a step forward and landed in front of the four of them: "Where is the treasure? Take it out and let me have a look!"

Her voice was even somewhat impatient.

Zhao Linger didn't hesitate and took out the pitch-black bead directly.

"Master!" Xu Changan smiled and said, "Hold this object in your hand and feel it!"

"Alright!" Yu Ning took the bead and held it in her hand.

Then, she said in shock: "This... heavens, I feel my entire spiritual sense has become clear!"

"A treasure... what kind of treasure is this?"

Boom...

Her massive spiritual sense surged out and scanned the black bead.

But upon looking, she saw nothing.

She didn't scan anything out.

"This object is not simple!" Yu Ning shook her head while holding the bead and said, "Even I cannot see its origin!"

"How many spirit stones did you spend to acquire it?"

Yu Ning looked at the three of them.
