第两千二百二十七章 有阴谋

To be honest, these three treasures are of good quality. At least, they far exceed his expectations according to the standards in the market.

However, in a battle between cultivators, offensive power is important, but defense cannot be overlooked. Although Lin Xuan's Yin Qing Mother-Child Shield was indeed magical, it would reveal his identity upon use. For safety reasons, he had no choice but to seek another treasure.

"Friend, you still need defensive treasures? This shop has plenty of them. Do you want a precious item?"

"Not at all, as long as the items are good, price is not an issue," Lin Xuan's calm voice echoed in his ears.

"Very well. Please wait a moment while I retrieve some precious treasures for you."

"Go ahead."

The middle-aged魔族 gave Lin Xuan a friendly nod before leaving, even without tidying up the table.

However, as he left, Lin Xuan sensed several Spirit Formation levels of spiritual pressure locking onto him tightly. It was clear that they were preventing him from stealing the items on the table. While few dared to do such things in the market, necessary precautions could not be overlooked.

Of course, Lin Xuan had no intention of doing so. He leisurely sipped his tea instead.

The fruits and vegetables tasted good too.

This time, Lin Xuan did not have to wait long. In just a short while, about half an incense stick, the middle-aged魔族 returned.

Similar to Moon Bright, he was followed by a shì girl with a delicate appearance. She carried a tray covered in red silk.

Lin Xuan did not release his spirit sense; it would be pointless as the other party would reveal the contents soon enough.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I have selected several precious treasures from our stock. Do you like them?"

"How can one know without trying?" Lin Xuan said emotionlessly.

"Hmm, that's true. But I believe you won't be disappointed."

The middle-aged魔族 then lifted the red silk to reveal the items on the tray.

Lin Xuan turned his head and focused on the precious treasures as the other party mentioned them. He saw a common shield, a dark brick, and two differently sized rings. Each item shimmered with magical light, indicating their extraordinary nature.

The middle-aged魔族 picked up one of the rings: "This is the Soul-Sucking Ring. Strictly speaking, it's both an offensive and defensive treasure. However, compared to its attack power, its defense is more impressive. The protective barrier it creates has a corrosive effect, which can even threaten opponents' treasures."

"How do you like them?"

"Empty decorations," Lin Xuan said indifferently.

The middle-aged魔族 did not get angry but instead showed an odd expression and chuckled: "You truly know your treasure. How about this shield?"

Lin Xuan took the shield from him. It was a small, black shield with strange patterns on its surface that seemed to be turtle shells. In the center of the shield was a tiny ghost face.

It looked sinister but was roughly the size of a fingernail.

"How do you like it? This shield is made primarily from the shell of a Ghost-Face Turtle, which is notoriously difficult to deal with. The defense power of this treasure is definitely impressive."

"Hmm."

Lin Xuan hesitated; by the tone of the other party, the Ghost-Face Turtle was well-known in the demon realm, but he had never heard of it and could only nod vaguely.

Holding the shield, Lin Xuan flicked his fingers slightly. Immediately, a strong demonic wind blew, and a sharp ghostly howl filled the air.

"Good. I'll take this shield."

Lin Xuan's keen eyesight revealed that the defense power was decent but not as good as his Yin Qing Mother-Child Shield. Still, being able to buy such an item was already remarkable.

After all, there were no treasures of this grade in the Spirit Realm market; the demon realm indeed had some differences.

"Are you sure about these four?"

"Yes, I'll take the Heavenly Demon Fists, Soul-Sucking Needles, Soul-Lost Drums, and this Ghost-Face Turtle Shield."

"Hmm. You should know that these treasures are priceless," the middle-aged魔族 interrupted before continuing.

"Don't waste your time; how many demon stones do you need?"

"Ha ha, why rush? The total is two million five hundred thousand lower-grade demon stones."

"What? Two million?" Lin Xuan was surprised and showed a strange expression on his face.

The price was not too high but absurdly low. Lin Xuan wasn't familiar with the prices in the demon realm, but by Spirit Realm standards, this price was truly unbelievable. He couldn't decide how to react; even buying just one of these treasures would be difficult.

Especially for the Heavenly Demon Fists, which were almost as good as his usual treasures. It didn't make sense for such items to appear in the market at all, let alone at such a low price. Was he really so lucky today?

Lin Xuan did not believe that demon realm prices could be this cheap or that it was just his luck. If there was such an opportunity, why should it happen now? He wasn't a novice; he had experienced countless hardships.

He sensed some sinister intentions but couldn't pinpoint the exact nature of them.

Nonetheless, he showed no fear and instead waved his sleeve to produce a storage bag.

"Four items total two million five hundred thousand lower-grade demon stones. Are you joking? This is too cheap."

"Ha ha, you are our tenth thousandth customer since opening, so we offered a discount. Otherwise, the price would be much higher," the middle-aged魔族 explained.

"What nonsense."

Lin Xuan muttered to himself. He wouldn't believe such an explanation; discounts were rare in the cultivation world and certainly not this extreme.

The other party seemed worried that he might refuse these items.

There must be some sinister plot here, but Lin Xuan couldn't figure it out yet.

He thought about all of this calmly, but his boldness came from his confidence. He wasn't afraid at all and instead produced a storage bag with a wave of his sleeve.
