In total, I’ve gathered three hundred and sixty-six Spirit Stones.

After walking out of the last Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue selling.

It’s the same old saying, there’s plenty of time, so it pays to be a little more cautious.

With over four hundred Spirit Stones on hand, that should suffice for quite a while.

Besides, I only had a total of five Human Skin Masks on me....

And with this move, they’re all used up.

After leaving the last Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng didn’t bother changing his clothes and went straight to a nearby Magic Artifact shop to ask if they were buying artifacts.

Upon hearing that they were, Lu Changsheng took out three magic artifacts. “Although these three magic artifacts seem intact, they have obviously been used for a long time and have clear defects. They might break while being used,” “If friend wishes to sell them, our shop is willing to purchase each for thirty Spirit Stones,” the Shopkeeper of the magic artifact shop inspected the three magic artifacts that Lu Changsheng had and then quoted him a price. “What a rip-off!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but mutter this sentiment in his heart.

He had examined the three magic artifacts thoroughly himself.

All one could say was that the three Robber Cultivators from Bullhead Mountain had been extremely careful with their artifacts, and there were no damages.

To describe them as ninety percent new would not be an exaggeration.

Yet the initial offer was only thirty Spirit Stones each. “Then forget it, the lowest I’ll go for the three pieces is one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, stated his bottom line, and pretended to walk away. “That’s too high, one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones is too much. How about one hundred stones? We’ll take all three for a hundred,” the Shopkeeper said, seeing Lu Changsheng’s actions.

One step, two steps, wandering steps… seeing Lu Changsheng about to walk out the door, he added, “One hundred and ten, truly the lowest price. You won’t find a better deal elsewhere.”

But as Lu Changsheng actually started to leave, the Shopkeeper immediately went out and called, “One hundred and fifteen Spirit Stones!” “Deal.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt it was close enough to his expectations, tough it was acceptable, and stopped in his tracks.

He exchanged the three magic artifacts for one hundred and fifteen Spirit Stones. “Hmm?”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng noticed a pair of azure boots in the shop that matched his Magical Robe quite well.

Pointing at the boots, he asked, “Shopkeeper, what kind of magic boots are these? What effects do they have?” “These boots are a Middle Grade Magic Artifact, crafted using the fur of a Green Wind Wolf demon beast. They come with six major effects: size adjustment to fit, Dust Avoidance, self-concealment, Light Body, stepping over waves, and the Wind Control Skill,” the Shopkeeper promptly explained. “Middle Grade Magic Artifact?”

Lu Changsheng gave a slight nod as he asked, “May I try them on?” “Of course, you can.”

The Shopkeeper replied with a smile.

He took out the magic boots from the counter to let Lu Changsheng try them on.

The boots weren’t heavy, quite thin and soft, and lined with fine fur inside.

Upon putting them on, Lu Changsheng’s initial feeling was of utmost comfort, softness as if they were barely there, and it seemed as if his whole body had become much lighter.

That was the weight-lightening effect of the boots.

It was as if he had a permanent Light Body Skill acting on him.

As for stepping over waves and the Wind Control Skill, when activated, they would allow him to move swiftly over water and greatly enhance his Wind Control Skill, respectively. “How much for this pair of boots?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

He was quite satisfied with these boots, not just in terms of style and effect but also due to their comfort.

If he were to encounter trouble in the future, these boots would allow him to make a quicker escape. “This is also the first sale of the day for our shop. The original price was two hundred and ten Spirit Stones, but since we just did business with you, friend, it will be two hundred stones for you,” the Shopkeeper stated. “That’s too expensive. A normal Middle Grade Magic Artifact goes for just one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones. Would you sell for one hundred and forty?”

Lu Changsheng went straight into bargaining.

Just now, when he offered his three artifacts, the other party’s opening bid was thirty Spirit Stones each.

It was obvious there was a lot of room for negotiation.

And besides, forget about his previous life’s purchasing experiences, just from his most recent rounds of shopping, he knew well that bargaining was essential.

If you agree too readily to what the seller says, they might even talk behind your back and consider you a sucker. “That’s too low. Not only is this pair of boots made from the pelt of a Green Wind Wolf, it also contains Spiritual Silkworm Thread. The craftsmanship, dyeing, and embroidery of the magic circles are all extremely meticulous… ” “If friend is interested, I can go as low as one hundred and ninety-five Spirit Stones,” the Shopkeeper recounted a litany of features and made a counteroffer.

Eventually, after some haggling, Lu Changsheng managed to get the boots for one hundred and sixty Spirit Stones.

After purchasing the boots, Lu Changsheng took another look around the shop, to see if there were any artifacts suited for his use.

He felt his means were too limited and that he needed to arm himself with more methods of self-protection.

He then spent sixty-three Spirit Stones and two hundred and ten Spirit Stones in the shop to buy a Lower Grade Magic Artifact “Hundred Changes Mask” and a Middle Grade Magic Artifact “Chill Jade Spiritual Pendant.”

The Hundred Changes Mask, once tailored to the face, could be freely altered to another visage, and unless it was a cultivator in the late stages of Spirit Refinement using the Spiritual Eye Technique, nobody could detect anything.

With this magical mask, he needn’t bother buying ordinary Human Skin Masks anymore.

And the Chill Jade Spiritual Pendant, when worn, provided clear-mindedness, concealed Spiritual Power, masked one’s aura, and shielded against Divine Sense probing.

Moreover, in dangerous situations, it could passively generate a body-protecting shield capable of withstanding a hit from a cultivator at the middle stage of Qi Refinement. “Take care, friend,” the Shopkeeper said, smiling while he saw Lu Changsheng out of the store. “Sigh, money really burns a hole in your pocket, doesn’t it?”

After exiting the shop, Lu Changsheng sighed.

Just a while ago, he thought the substantial sum he had would last a long time.

But in the blink of an eye, he had almost spent all the money from selling talismans and magic artifacts, with only a little over a hundred Spirit Stones left.

He didn’t have enough to buy new artifacts or materials for talismans. “Isn’t money meant to be spent anyway, and you can’t skimp on upgrading your equipment,” “In about ten days to half a month, I’ll come back and sell another batch of talismans, and then I’ll have money again,”
