While Lu Ping was taken aback, Gao Tianhe still maintained a smiling expression.
He didn’t continue to raise Gao Tianhai’s status but instead brought the topic back to the black armor piece.
"Are you interested in this item, my friend? If so, I can offer you a price."
Lu Ping gazed at the black armor piece, pondering for a while.
"May I take a closer look?"
"Of course, please go ahead."
With Gao Tianhe’s permission, Lu Ping picked up the black armor piece and carefully examined it.
Gao Tianhe proactively began his introduction.
"This Divine Armor Mirror, when intact, was the masterpiece of Master Gao, a Tier Eight Middle Grade artifact."
"Although operating a Tier Eight Spiritual Artifact typically requires at least Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, this is a fragnt."
At this, Gao Tianhe gave Lu Ping a profound look.
"Given your late-stage Golden Core cultivation, you can barely manage it, so you could consider buying it."
Noticing that Gao Tianhe saw through his cultivation, Lu Ping’s expression tightened, and he couldn’t help but glance at Gao Tianhe quietly.
Earlier, after entering the shop and conversing with the proprietor, Lu Ping couldn’t discern Gao Tianhe’s depth of cultivation.
Convinced that soone managing this shop must be a cultivator, Lu Ping certainly did not believe otherwise.
The strange thing was, despite Lu Ping concealing his cultivation level, Elder Jiang, Taiqi Peak, and Xu Tiangxiang couldn’t discern it, perceiving only a chaotic impression.
So how did Gao Tianhe manage it?
"Don’t look at like you’re planning to kill to silence ."
Gao Tianhe chuckled and teased.
He casually released a hint of his aura, and imdiately, a powerful aura spread out vastly, enveloping the surroundings, letting Lu Ping sense it clearly.
"Hmm, what is this?"
Upon sensing it, Lu Ping’s eyes narrowed imdiately.
"Nascent Soul Stage!"
At this mont, the aura that Gao Tianhe revealed had surpassed the Golden Core Stage, reaching the level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Lu Ping hadn’t expected that the other was not only Gao Tianhe’s father but also a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!
No wonder he could see through Lu Ping’s cultivation level.
He was indeed a senior!
Lu Ping felt that he couldn’t afford to offend such a person.
Thinking this, Lu Ping smiled wryly and imdiately saluted, saying, "Pardon my lack of insight, senior."
"Hehe, from an age perspective, you should indeed call a senior."
Gao Tianhe chuckled lightly, slowly retracting his aura, appearing again as a humble old man, indistinguishable from a commoner standing there.
Great cultivators hide within the market.
In the Hidden Mist Island Market, there unexpectedly was a Nascent Soul Stage master, making Lu Ping realize the place’s profound nature.
Indeed, as Elder Jiang previously warned, Hidden Mist Island was ho to hidden talents, where one must act discreetly and avoid creating complications.
Possessing the Void Celestial Immortal Sword, should news spread, it would undoubtedly provoke a scramble among cultivators.
"Friend, this item is called the Divine Armor Mirror, priced at sixty thousand spirit stones. What do you think?"
Gao Tianhe pointed at the Divine Armor Mirror to change the subject, smiling as he asked.
Despite having cultivation and age above Lu Ping, Gao Tianhe addressed him as an equal without showing arrogance.
Sixty thousand spirit stones — upon knowing the price of the Divine Armor Mirror, Lu Ping felt hesitant.
This wasn’t a trivial amount; even if Lu Ping intended to buy it, he had to consider it carefully.
Moreover, it wasn’t a complete magical artifact, but rely a fragnt.
This made Lu Ping a bit hesitant, wondering whether the other party intended to swindle a foreign cultivator with a high price.
Observing Lu Ping’s apprehension, Gao Tianhe smiled slightly, stroking his sparse beard with a calm deanor, appearing quite at ease.
"A full sixty thousand spirit stones. If that seems too steep, perhaps you should consider other magical artifacts."
"As a defensive magical artifact, this Divine Armor Mirror is excellent, though unfortunately, it can’t be used as an attack artifact, hence its limitations."
"However, as you’re aware, this was originally a Tier Eight Magical Artifact. Even though it’s now a re fragnt, the bulk of its power remains."
"As the saying goes, ’a skinny cal is still bigger than a horse,’ worth considering, my friend."
Gao Tianhe provided further details regarding the Divine Armor Mirror.
The Divine Armor Mirror’s incompleteness stemd from its prior status as Gao Tianhai’s personal artifact. During an ancient civilization battlefield exploration, it was damaged in battle with a Divinity Transformation Stage Ancient Demon Fiend.
This divine armor was notoriously difficult to refine, requiring over three types of Tier Six refining materials. Additionally, there were abundant Tier Six Demon Beasts like the Green Water Cold Armor Lizard’s bones and armor plating, with one piece costing tens of thousands of spirit stones.
After the armor’s destruction, re-forging it posed considerable challenges, given the scarcity of materials.
Thus, Gao Tianhai simply lted the remaining fragnts with core pieces infused with Dao charm, finally refining two Divine Armor Mirrors.
Both Divine Armor Mirrors were left to his father, Gao Tianhe.
Gao Tianhe retained one.
The other, the very one in question now, was intended for sale to support the family’s needs.
After all, with a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Divinity Transformation cultivator in the family, cultivation resource demands were hefty, requiring nurous spirit stones.
Not to ntion that as an Artifact Refiner, Gao Tianhai’s journey demanded substantial spirit stone investnt for cultivation.
"Please take a look."
To demonstrate the Divine Armor Mirror’s power, Gao Tianhe signaled Lu Ping to observe.
He took out his own Divine Armor Mirror, activated the artifact, and personally demonstrated its defensive capabilities.
The mirror emitted a faint glow, floating before Gao Tianhe.
Gao Tianhe gestured with his right hand, forming a sword with his fingers, and unleashed a Nascent Soul-level sword light, striking the Divine Armor Mirror with a crisp sound.
In Lu Ping’s observation, the magical power intensity emanated by the beam alard him, convinced that head-on confrontation offered no way to withstand it, allowing only evasion.
However, the beam was blocked by the Divine Armor Mirror, unable to breach it.
The Divine Armor Mirror sustained no damage, effectively withstanding Gao Tianhe’s attack.
This scene left Lu Ping in profound awe.
Gao Tianhe’s strength was at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Yet the Divine Armor Mirror’s defense was that strong.
Once refined as one’s personal artifact, wouldn’t it afford protection against Nascent Soul cultivators’ attacks?
In this view, the Divine Armor Mirror indeed seed valuable, a lifesaver in critical monts.
"Could this item be a bit cheaper?"
Now interested in purchasing, Lu Ping ventured to negotiate.
Spirit stones aren’t easily obtained by anyone.
Gao Tianhe pondered and glanced at the surrounding artifacts.
"What if, instead, you’ve set your eyes on other artifacts?"
