Arriving at a relatively quiet stall beside it, he slowly started to look around.
"Do you see anything interesting, seniors?
All these treasures were arduously acquired during expeditions in the Divine Mountain.
Many tis, it was literally nine lives lost to one gained, almost losing my life!"
The stall owner was a middle-aged cultivator in the Foundation Establishnt Realm at perfection.
Seeing Lu Qing and the Five Treasure Taoist stop at his stall, he warmly greeted them.
Although he looked much older than Lu Qing and the Five Treasure Taoist,
in the cultivation world, respect is based on cultivation realm, not appearance.
The aura emanating from these two young individuals was much stronger than his own.
Thus, he naturally lowered his stance and considered himself as a junior.
"Let’s take a look first," Lu Qing smiled slightly.
He was naturally skeptical of these crafty people’s words.
However, he didn’t show this doubt on his face.
"Sure, seniors, take your ti. If anything catches your fancy, let know,
and I’ll offer you a good deal!" the stall owner continued with enthusiasm.
Lu Qing slowly looked over the items on the ground, quickly seeing layers of Superpower Light erging.
Pieces of information floated into his vision one after another.
Then he realized that Little Li’s sensing ability was indeed extraordinary.
The items at this stall were quite ordinary, most radiating red and gold Superpower Light.
A few emitted purple light, but the glow was quite dim.
This indicated that the grade of the items was not high,
and he even saw so radiating white light.
Evidently, those were worthless, not even counting as Spiritual Objects, re common items.
Most likely, the stall owner placed them there intentionally, hoping to scam people.
Yet Lu Qing didn’t expose them and instead picked up an artifact shaped like a prayer wheel.
"Fellow Daoist, how much for this artifact?"
The prayer-wheel-shaped artifact Lu Qing picked up was rustic, engraved with ancient runes, looking quite mysterious.
In Lu Qing’s vision, it was one of the few items at the stall that reached purple grade.
Yet strangely, this artifact was only classified as a Magic Artifact.
Indicating that this treasure wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Even if the grade wasn’t high, there was more to it than ets the eye.
The stall owner saw the prayer wheel in Lu Qing’s hands, a hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes, quickly suppressed.
He then showed a sorrowful expression: "To be honest, senior, this treasure was obtained years ago during an expedition with a dear friend.
Back then, we ventured into Tianshu Divine Mountain seeking treasure, but accidentally stumbled into an unknown small space cave.
Inside that cave, fierce beasts guarded fiercely.
My friend and I barely survived, managing to slay the beast.
Guarded by the beast were this prayer wheel and a Golden Bell.
We took these treasures and left, that small space cave collapsed and disappeared behind us.
In the end, my friend and I divided the treasures and parted ways to recover.
But after I recuperated and erged, I received a piece of grave news.
My friend, due to serious injuries, couldn’t withstand it and passed away in his Cave Mansion.
For many years since, every ti I see this prayer wheel, I recall my friend, filled with regret.
If only I could have held off so of the beast’s attacks for my friend.
Perhaps, my friend wouldn’t have succumbed to his wounds and passed away.
Over the years, this beca an obsession in my heart, almost turning into my Heart Demon.
Long-term suffering from such obsession casts doubt on my ability to overco the Golden Core Tribulation.
Despite my reluctance, I decided to sell this prayer wheel."
"I didn’t expect you to have such a tragic story, my condolences."
Listening to the stall owner’s sorrowful tone brought a flutter of emotion on Lu Qing’s face, he quickly offered consolation.
On the other hand, the Five Treasure Taoist showed a strange expression in his eyes.
"Senior, this prayer wheel originally held imnse significance for as it was the last piece gained from an expedition with my good friend.
But unfortunately, it has now beco an obsession, hindering my path."
Unwillingly, I have to sell it at a low price," the stall owner said sadly.
"No problem, set a price, and if it’s reasonable, I’ll buy it," Lu Qing said directly.
"This..." The stall owner hesitated, "To be honest, senior, I’m not sure about the true value of this prayer wheel.
Although it’s rely a Magic Artifact, the ancient runes engraved on it are quite mysterious.
I’ve consulted many cultivators proficient in the Rune Array Path, none could identify the origin of these runes.
Moreover, it originated from the mysterious space cave in the Divine Mountain.
Therefore, pricing its worth remains difficult, why don’t you offer a price, and I’ll see if it’s suitable."
"I see." Lu Qing pondered briefly, then said, "Its grade is rely that of a Magic Artifact, but it resonates well with .
Plus, it holds imnse significance to you, so I’ll boldly offer a thousand low-grade spirit stones,
would you be willing to part with it?"
"A thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
Before the stall owner could speak, the Five Treasure Taoist couldn’t help but be taken aback.
"Mr. Chen, that price is too high. It’s rely a Magic Artifact, with that price, you could buy a low-grade Treasure.
Who knows if his story is true or fabricated.
You mustn’t fall for these easily concocted tales."
The Five Treasure Taoist was rather anxious, fearing Lu Qing might be deceived.
Honestly, he was baffled as to why Lu Qing was interested in a small Magic Artifact.
For Golden Core Realm experts like them, a re Magic Artifact was of no practical use.
The spells they cast easily superseded the power of any Magic Artifact.
Initially pleased by Lu Qing’s offer, the stall owner felt a sudden surge of anger upon hearing the Five Treasure Taoist’s words.
He wanted to retaliate against the ddling Taoist right then.
Yet, he could only think about it.
The Five Treasure Taoist was a Golden Core Realm expert, and he, a re Foundation Establishnt, could be crushed with just a finger.
Hence, the stall owner dared not voice his anger, carefully suppressing it,
and maintained his sad deanor: "Indeed, senior’s price is high, a Magic Artifact doesn’t require that many spirit stones, lower the price."
"No problem, a treasure of great value to my heart is hard to buy, I truly like this prayer wheel,
plus it’s a treasured item for you, so a thousand low-grade spirit stones it is."
Lu Qing said boldly.
Then he directly took a small handful of spirit stones from his Storage Bag.
"Fellow Daoist, here are ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones, please count them."
Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
The stall owner saw the spirit stones Lu Qing took out, feeling pleased yet again.
Although the exchange rate for Middle Grade Spirit Stones and low-grade spirit stones was 1:100,
in practice, cultivators preferred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, rich in spiritual charm.
"Thank you, senior, the prayer wheel is now yours."
Though tempted to quickly snatch the spirit stones, the stall owner restrained himself.
He carefully took the spirit stones from Lu Qing with a face full of reluctance, casting a longing glance at the prayer wheel.
He only slowly looked away after Lu Qing carefully stored the prayer wheel.
After securing the prayer wheel, Lu Qing continued to browse.
This ti, he finally arrived at the stall Little Li ntioned.
