338: Chapter 338 Eighty Million Spirit Stones

He felt secretly anxious; if he were to miss out on this exceptionally well-crafted Earth-Grade Medium Grade jade shield because of a single crimson flame fruit, it would truly be a great pity.

crimson flame fruits were far too rare, and the Lin family indeed had no stock. Even if they wanted to find one, it was certainly not something that could be located in a short time. He could only look at Qin Changsheng with a troubled expression, hoping he might change his mind.

The Third Elder and the others also showed expressions of difficulty, advising in low voices, "Fellow Daoist, the crimson flame fruit is too hard to come by. Why not exchange it for Spirit Stones instead? The Family Head has already offered the highest price and will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Qin Changsheng shook his head, his expression remaining calm without the slightest sign of relenting. "I have just reached a Bottleneck in my Cultivation and urgently need a crimson flame fruit to assist me. Spirit Stones are of little use to me; only a crimson flame fruit can solve my pressing need. If Family Head Lin cannot produce a crimson flame fruit, then I can only seek another buyer for this jade shield."

Just as Lin Zhentian was at his wits' end and about to try persuading him again, Hei Feng hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, wait! I have a crimson flame fruit!"

He had heard the conversation between Qin Changsheng and Lin Zhentian clearly just now. When he heard that Qin Changsheng wanted to exchange the jade shield for a crimson flame fruit, his heart was instantly filled with wild joy.

He had happened to obtain a crimson flame fruit in a Secret Realm not long ago and had originally intended to sell it at the trade assembly for Spirit Stones. He never expected it could be used to exchange for the Earth-Grade Medium Grade jade shield he desired.

Hei Feng stepped quickly to the table, his gaze lingering on the jade shield for a moment. "Fellow Daoist, I happen to have a crimson flame fruit in my hand. It is in perfect condition and is enough to assist you in your Breakthrough. I am willing to use this crimson flame fruit to exchange for the Earth-Grade Medium Grade jade shield in your hand. I wonder if you are willing?"

Qin Changsheng looked at the eagerness and fondness in Hei Feng's eyes. On the surface, he still pretended to be deep in thought. After a moment, he slowly nodded. "Since you have a crimson flame fruit, then we shall do as you say and exchange this jade shield for your crimson flame fruit."

Upon hearing this, a look of wild joy instantly appeared on Hei Feng's face, and he hurriedly said, "Good! Good!"

After speaking, Hei Feng gave a gentle wave of his hand and handed a Jade Box to Qin Changsheng.

After Qin Changsheng inspected the treasure inside the Jade Box, he nodded slightly and handed the shield to Hei Feng.

Lin Zhentian stood to the side, and though he felt some regret, there was nothing he could do.

After all, Qin Changsheng wanted to exchange his shield for a crimson flame fruit, which he did not have.

Fortunately, however, he could purchase the remaining two treasures for ten million Spirit Stones.

Immediately, Lin Zhentian hurriedly had someone bring ten million Spirit Stones and bought the remaining two treasures.

"Fellow Daoist, I have prepared some Spiritual Tea in the side hall. Why not accompany me there for a cup of tea and a short rest, allowing me to fulfill my duties as a host?" Lin Zhentian hurriedly invited.

Qin Changsheng, however, slowly shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Family Head Lin, but I still have a few idle Magical Artifacts in my hands. I wonder if the Manor Lord is still interested in purchasing them?"

"There are more Magical Artifacts?" Hearing this, a flash of wild joy instantly crossed Lin Zhentian's eyes, and the warmth on his face grew even more intense. He hurriedly took a step forward and said in an urgent tone, "Yes! Of course! The Magical Artifacts in your hands are all top-quality; I could not ask for more. Please, bring them out and let me see!"

He was already extremely satisfied with the Magical Artifacts Qin Changsheng held. Now, hearing there were more, the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable. He secretly felt lucky that he had taken the initiative to invite him, resulting in such an unexpected pleasant surprise.

The many Elders also showed expressions of surprise and joy, their gazes fixed intently on Qin Changsheng, full of anticipation for him to bring out more treasures.

Seeing this, Qin Changsheng gave a gentle wave of his hand. Beams of dense golden spiritual light erupted from his sleeve, pouring out like a tide and landing steadily on the carved wooden table in front of him.

In the next instant, ten Magical Artifacts of various shapes were neatly arranged on the table. There were long swords, short sabers, jade pendants, and amulets. Every single one emitted a thick Spiritual Qi and a dazzling spiritual light. Even when just placed casually, one could feel the majestic aura within them.

No one knew that these ten Magical Artifacts, like the previous jade shield, were all treasures repaired at once using a golden Repair trait. They appeared perfectly intact and full of Spiritual Qi, but in reality, they would shatter after not even a single use.

Among these ten Magical Artifacts, there were earth grade high-rank, as well as Earth-Grade Medium Grade and earth-grade low grade items. The categories were complete, and the quality was excellent.

The earth grade high-rank Magical Artifacts had a brilliant spiritual light and a thick aura, far exceeding ordinary artifacts of the same rank.

The Earth-Grade Medium Grade and earth-grade low grade Magical Artifacts were also not inferior. Their patterns were delicate, and their Spiritual Qi was condensed without any flaws. Even if it was just an earth-grade low grade item, its quality was a notch higher than ordinary artifacts of the same rank.

Lin Zhentian's gaze was fixed on the ten Magical Artifacts on the table. The wild joy in his eyes was almost overflowing, and his breathing became rapid.

He stepped forward quickly to inspect them one by one, from the earth grade high-rank short saber to the Earth-Grade Medium Grade jade pendant, and then to the earth-grade low grade amulet, not missing a single detail.

With every item he inspected, the shock on his face increased by a point, and he even trembled slightly. His voice was full of unbelievable praise: "Exquisite! They are all exquisite! This earth grade high-rank short saber has delicate patterns and is full of Spiritual Qi; it is the work of a top Great Master of Artifact Refining!"

"This Earth-Grade Medium Grade jade pendant is lustrous and transparent, with its Spiritual Qi restrained. Its quality far exceeds the ordinary!"

"Even this earth-grade low grade amulet is finely crafted and full of defensive power!"

The more Lin Zhentian looked, the more shocked he became, and the excitement in his heart was uncontrollable.

He had originally thought that being able to obtain two Earth-Grade Medium Grade Magical Artifacts at once was a huge harvest, but he never expected that Qin Changsheng would have so many exquisite Magical Artifacts in his hands, covering all three grades: high, medium, and low. If he could purchase all of them, it would greatly enhance the Lin family's foundation and elevate the Lin family's status in Qingyun City to a higher level.

Many Elders also gathered around, carefully examining the Magical Artifacts on the table. Their faces were full of shock and joy as they discussed in low voices, their tones filled with praise: "Truly rare! So many exquisite Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts—even in a large auction house, it would be difficult to see them all at once!"

"Family Head, our Lin family has truly picked up a huge bargain this time!"

Qin Changsheng stood to the side, his expression still calm. Seeing the shocked and overjoyed expressions of Lin Zhentian and the others, he sneered inwardly.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. These seemingly precious and exquisite Magical Artifacts were merely bargaining chips he used to deceive Lin Zhentian. Once these artifacts shattered in the future, Lin Zhentian would surely regret it deeply.

And he would only need to sit back and reap the benefits, earning a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also noticed Hei Feng nearby, whose gaze toward Qin Changsheng now held a hint of killing intent.

Qin Changsheng understood that this Hei Feng must have been moved by greed and wanted to kill him to seize the Spirit Stones.

Lin Zhentian finally finished inspecting all the Magical Artifacts, and the shock on his face gradually turned into wild joy. He turned to look at Qin Changsheng and said in an urgent and sincere tone, "Fellow Daoist! I want all of these Magical Artifacts! Please, name your price!"

"Seventy million Spirit Stones!" Qin Changsheng stated.

"Seventy million Spirit Stones?!" The wild joy on Lin Zhentian's face instantly froze, and a clear flash of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

For this trade assembly, he had prepared a total of eighty million Spirit Stones.

If he spent another seventy million Spirit Stones to buy these Magical Artifacts...

Then all eighty million Spirit Stones would be spent here.

He would no longer be able to buy anything from anyone else.

However, these ten exquisite Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts, crafted by a top Great Master of Artifact Refining and covering high, medium, and Low Grades, would greatly enhance the Lin family's strength and foundation if acquired. Such an Opportunity was something that could be sought but not easily found.

He remained silent, his gaze scanning back and forth between the ten Magical Artifacts on the table and Qin Changsheng, his expression shifting uncertainly.

After a moment, Lin Zhentian took a deep breath, as if he had made a momentous decision. "Fine! Seventy million Spirit Stones, I'll buy them!"

As soon as he spoke, Lin Zhentian said to the Elder, "Quick! Go to the storehouse immediately and take out all the Spirit Stones. Gather seventy million and make sure they are delivered as soon as possible! There must not be the slightest delay!"

The Third Elder hurriedly ran off.

Not long after, the Third Elder had people bring the seventy million Spirit Stones there.

"Fellow Daoist, here are seventy million Spirit Stones. Please count them!" Lin Zhentian said.

After Qin Changsheng checked the Spirit Stones, he nodded slightly and said, "Seventy million, exactly right!"

After speaking, Qin Changsheng put all these Spirit Stones into his Storage Space.

The moment he put away the Spirit Stones, he discovered that Hei Feng's gaze toward him was entirely filled with killing intent and greed.

Qin Changsheng also understood that Hei Feng was moved by greed.

However, there was not the slightest worry in Qin Changsheng's heart; instead, there was a bit more amusement.

Although this Hei Feng was a Fourth Layer of Golden Core Cultivator, Qin Changsheng was not afraid of him at all.

Because Qin Changsheng possessed the Longyuan Sword Domain.

He believed that with the power of the Sword Domain, killing Hei Feng would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Moreover, Hei Feng had treasures in his hands that Qin Changsheng needed.
