Chapter 662: Chapter 682: The Peculiar Big Dumb Clock _1

"These are White Moon Fruit seeds, these are Black Devil Mushroom seeds, and Red Spirit Grass..."

"Mr. Lin, after deducting the value of all the seeds, the total amount of spirit stones for these Ling medicines is 149,800. I’ll round it up to 150,000 spirit stones. Here’s your spirit stone card, please take it."

150,000 spirit stones?

Getting rich!

Just a few days ago when I entered the Cave Sky Blessed Land, I could only receive ten spirit stones per month. Considering this, it would take 120 a year and 12,000 in a hundred years...

Just thinking about it, ten spirit stones were just enough for two of us to have a meal at the restaurant, and it wasn’t even top-of-the-line. With that in mind, 150,000 spirit stones didn’t seem especially abundant.

"Boss, let me ask, how many spirit stones can I buy a one-foot-square piece of Black Iron Crow Essence for?"

The boss enthusiastically answered, "We don’t have that kind of stock here. You can only find it outside. The market price fluctuates, but it usually ranges between 300,000 and 400,000 spirit stones. Moreover, buying this item also depends on your luck since its production is extremely rare."

As expected, I can only buy half a piece!

Lin Chen marveled in his heart. He had been in the Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky for a while now and was quite familiar with the prices of various items in the market.

For example, the shield he confiscated from Gu Li earlier was a barely passable magical artifact, which would only sell for about 200 spirit stones. However, if its quality were a bit better and of standard or above, it would cost at least 1,000 to several thousand spirit stones. If it reached the level of a top-grade magical artifact, it could sell for over 10,000 spirit stones.

As for the better magical treasures, the price range varies greatly, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, even millions, or in some cases, they cannot be measured by spirit stones, such as the Water and Fire Mirror in Lin Chen’s possession.

Lin Chen didn’t worry too much, considering he could always plant more Ling medicines themselves.

Soon, he would have to find a way to lure out the Snow Dragon Leopard King. Only with it at his side would the Water and Fire Mirror always be filled with spiritual energy. Otherwise, he would have to venture into the Secret Realm once in a while, which would be quite troublesome.

After leaving the Su Family’s Elixir Workshop, Lin Chen walked around and entered a shop specializing in the sale of various magical artifacts and treasures.

Wanbao Pavilion.

"Young Master, what are you planning to buy?"

Lin Chen replied, "Battle artifacts or treasures, preferably those with a focus on defense."

The shopkeeper’s eyes suddenly brightened. Anyone who could ask for magical treasures was wealthy!

"Of course, we have those."

The shopkeeper quickly began to introduce some items: "This is the Qinglin Shield, which is refined from the scales of a green dragon. It is light, thin, and has an amazing defensive power. It belongs to a top-grade magical artifact..."

Lin Chen took a look, frowned, and shook his head.

The Mysterious Turtle Shield Qiao Wei had given him was not of poor quality. If there wasn’t a magical artifact or treasure that could significantly improve his defense, there was no need to buy another one, as it would just be a waste of money.

Seeing Lin Chen’s high requirements and his apparent wealth, the shopkeeper continued to promote other items: "This is the Low-Grade Luoyan Ling treasure. It can be soft or hard, offensive or defensive. The stronger the user’s strength, the greater its power."

If the stronger the user’s strength, the greater its power, then wouldn’t that mean the weaker the user’s strength, the weaker its power?

Now I’m only at the Early Golden Core Stage, and I keep encountering Late Golden Core or Nascent Soul opponents. With your reasoning, even if I use the Luoyan Ling, can I defend myself against them?

Isn’t that just asking for death?

The shopkeeper introduced several different types of magical treasures, but Lin Chen was not very satisfied. After all, when it comes to treasures, sometimes you don’t need too many. As long as they are handy and effective, they are the best.

Lin Chen looked left and right in front of the shelf where the treasures were displayed, and then saw a black ancient bell.

He had seen Su Mubai’s magical treasure, an ancient bell, before. When it was struck, a golden light enveloped it with amazing power. Lin Chen was quite impressed, so now when he saw this black ancient bell, he asked, "What kind of bell is this? Does it have any special abilities?"

The shopkeeper’s expression became somewhat subtle, "It doesn’t seem to have any special abilities."

Lin Chen looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, "A magical treasure without special abilities?"

The shopkeeper replied, "There is an array formation on the ancient bell that can be enlarged or reduced. The advantage of the bell is its hardness and incredibly strong defense. However, its drawback is also evident. Once it’s covered up, all connections to the outside are severed, and there’s no way to continue fighting. For example, it’s impossible to hide inside and control flying swords."

"Incredibly strong defense?"

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened slightly, "How strong?"

The shopkeeper replied, "To test how powerful this bell is, we have a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection expert attack it with full force, but it still remains unbroken."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up even more. If even a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection couldn’t break it, then its defense was indeed amazing.

"This bell has incredible defensive power, but who would just tuck themselves under it like a turtle when they’re in danger? What’s even more important is that you can’t run away or counterattack once you’re enclosed by the bell. You can only hide inside, and if you need to hide, it means you’re weaker than others. Then what if they come to flip over your bell or stalk you? So, even though this ancient bell is powerful, honestly, its function is somewhat redundant. I think the Qinglin Shield is still better,"

Lin Chen nodded, "The Qinglin Shield is indeed decent..."

As Lin Chen casually responded to the shopkeeper and was about to continue, a crisp and arrogant woman’s voice rang out, "I’ll take the Qinglin Shield."
