372: Chapter 371 Replica of a Low-Grade Heavenly Armor

"Junior Brother, please wait a moment; my Revered Master, Fairy Qingling, will be here shortly!" Shock was still very much present in Jiang Lijuan's eyes.

Clearly, she had not expected that a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor would appear at an ordinary gathering.

"Senior Brother, where did you get this Low Grade Heaven-Grade inner armor from?"

"Senior Brother, could you let me take a look at this Low Grade Heaven-Grade inner armor?"

"Senior Brother, how many Spirit Stones are you planning to sell it for?"

"Senior Brother, I know an auction house; why don't we take it there for auction?"

Many fellow Disciples crowded around Qin Changsheng.

The looks they gave Qin Changsheng were filled with envy, jealousy, and greed.

After all, the Magical Artifact in Qin Changsheng's hand was a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor.

If they could possess a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive Magical Artifact, their strength would definitely receive a massive boost.

Facing everyone's persistent questioning and offers, Qin Changsheng remained calm and didn't say a word.

He looked up slightly, his gaze sweeping over the people surrounding him. There wasn't the slightest ripple in the depths of his eyes; he neither responded to their inquiries nor paid any attention to those tempting offers.

He knew clearly in his heart that these people were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it was impossible for them to produce the Spirit Stones needed to buy a High Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor.

Furthermore, this High Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor was merely a Copy.

It was also the treasure he intended to use to scam the Demon Empress.

Seeing that Qin Changsheng remained silent, the crowd's urgency grew even more intense, and the sounds of their questioning became increasingly dense, yet they still received no response.

Some showed impatience on their faces, but hindered by the rules of Qingyun Tower, they didn't dare to get angry easily;

Some were secretly calculating, wanting to take the opportunity to investigate Qin Changsheng's background to see if they could profit from it;

Jiang Lijuan stood to the side, her expression slightly anxious. She blocked the crowd's questioning while keeping her eyes fixed on Qin Changsheng, afraid he might change his mind at the last minute.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes had gone by.

Just as the crowd's questioning was becoming noisy, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the private room. The "thud, thud, thud" sound broke the clamor inside, carrying a sense of urgency and an unquestionable Pressure.

Everyone subconsciously stopped their questioning and turned their heads toward the door of the private room.

In the next instant, the wooden door of the private room was pushed open, and Fairy Qingling walked in from outside.

Fairy Qingling's appearance instantly caused the entire room to fall into a dead silence.

Everyone fell silent and subconsciously took half a step back, their faces showing respectful expressions.

Fairy Qingling was not only a Golden Core Cultivator of the Heavenly Sword Sect with profound cultivation, but she also had a significant background; no one present dared to offend her lightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Lijuan hurriedly walked to Fairy Qingling's side, bowed slightly, leaned into her ear, and lowered her voice to quickly recount the cause and effect of the matter with caution, her tone full of respect and joy.

Fairy Qingling listened quietly, and the expression on her face gradually changed from its initial calm to surprise, and then transformed into deep delight.

When Jiang Lijuan finished speaking, she suddenly looked up, her gaze passing through the crowd to land directly on Qin Changsheng, and she asked, "This Martial Nephew, do you have a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor?"

Without any superfluous words, Qin Changsheng lightly moved his hand, and the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor appeared not far away.

At the same time, with a wave of Qin Changsheng's hand, the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor flew directly in front of Fairy Qingling.

Fairy Qingling hurriedly reached out, carefully cradling the inner armor in her palm. Her hand gently stroked the spiritual runes on the armor's body, and her expression became increasingly solemn.

She circulated the spiritual power within her body, feeling the majestic defensive aura coming from the inner armor and the mana flowing within the spiritual runes. Her eyes were filled with shock.

She had never expected that when she had only asked Jiang Lijuan to find an earth grade high-rank defensive inner armor, she would actually encounter a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor in Qingyun Tower!

A Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact was several times rarer than an earth grade high-rank one, and its defensive capabilities were more than a level stronger, potentially even saving one's life at a critical moment.

For her, this was undoubtedly timely help.

Fairy Qingling inspected it repeatedly for a long time, confirming that this inner armor was definitely not a fake, but a genuine Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor.

She looked up at Qin Changsheng and asked, "How many Spirit Stones do you intend to sell this Low Grade Heaven-Grade inner armor for?"

"Please make an offer, Fairy. If the price is right, I will sell it!" Qin Changsheng said.

Holding the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor in her hands, the shock in Fairy Qingling's eyes had not yet completely faded, but her expression gradually became solemn.

She was silent for a while, her brow furrowing slightly as if she were weighing the pros and cons, or perhaps calculating her reserves of Spirit Stones.

A Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor was too rare and was an urgently needed item for her, but such a supreme treasure's price would certainly not be cheap. Even with her deep background, she needed to carefully consider her bid.

A moment later, Fairy Qingling slowly looked up, her gaze falling on Qin Changsheng, and said, "How about one hundred million Spirit Stones?"

"One hundred million Spirit Stones?!" These words exploded like a thunderclap in the private room. Everyone present gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.

One hundred million Spirit Stones was an astronomical figure; even for the Golden Core Cultivators of major Sects, it was an unimaginable sum of wealth.

People like them could spend their entire lives and still find it difficult to obtain one hundred million Spirit Stones.

As for Qin Changsheng, when he heard the words "one hundred million Spirit Stones," an imperceptible glint instantly flashed through his eyes.

If he sold the inner armor he had duplicated for ten million Spirit Stones for one hundred million, he would make a net profit of ninety million. This deal was even more profitable than he had anticipated.

But he didn't show any real emotion. Instead, he immediately put on a look of wild joy, his eyes shining, and his body even trembled slightly.

Before Fairy Qingling could speak again, Qin Changsheng nodded heavily. "I'm willing! I'm willing! Thank you, Fairy!"

That appearance made it seem as if he were seeing such a huge amount of Spirit Stones for the first time, his head spinning from the hundred million Spirit Stones, wishing he could finalize the transaction immediately.

To him, this inner armor was just a fake produced by the [Copy] trait, costing only ten million Spirit Stones to replicate. Now, selling it to Fairy Qingling, who was the Demon Empress, he could not only make a net profit of ninety million Spirit Stones but also take the opportunity to scam her once.

Seeing Qin Changsheng like this, an imperceptible flash of joy instantly crossed Fairy Qingling's eyes.

In Fairy Qingling's view, Qin Changsheng was a Cultivator who had not seen much of the world and did not understand the true value of a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor.

He had also never seen a huge sum like one hundred million Spirit Stones, which was why he had agreed so easily.

If it were any other Cultivator who knew the value of such a treasure, they would definitely have demanded an exorbitant price and would never have been so straightforward.

In her view, although her offer of one hundred million Spirit Stones was not low, she had still gotten a great bargain.

The value of a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor was far more than one hundred million Spirit Stones; if placed in an auction house, it wouldn't be difficult to fetch two hundred million.

Qin Changsheng's straightforwardness actually eased some of the doubts in her heart, leading her to believe he had simply obtained the inner armor by chance and was eager to cash it in.

Having finished her calculations, Fairy Qingling no longer hesitated. With a light wave of her hand, ten lustrous Spirit Stone bags appeared out of thin air in her hand.

The Spirit Stone bags were bulging and emitted a dense Spiritual Qi; from the aura alone, one could tell the purity and quantity of the Spirit Stones inside.

"Inside these are one hundred million Spirit Stones, ten million per bag. You may count them." Fairy Qingling's tone was flat as she lightly tossed the ten Spirit Stone bags toward Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng hurriedly caught the Spirit Stone bags. They felt heavy, and a dense Spiritual Qi rushed toward his face.

Without any delay, he opened the Spirit Stone bags one by one in front of everyone and Fairy Qingling, and began to count them quickly.

Every bag he opened was filled with neatly arranged Spirit Stones, crystal clear and with pure Spiritual Qi, without any Impurities.

A moment later, Qin Changsheng finished counting. With a look of joy still on his face, he slowly nodded. "To the Fairy, the number of Spirit Stones is correct, exactly one hundred million."

Qin Changsheng wasn't surprised at all that Fairy Qingling could so easily produce one hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

After all, Fairy Qingling was the Demon Empress, and she had operated within the Heavenly Sword Sect for many years. Producing one hundred million Spirit Stones was not a difficult task for her as the Empress.

Moreover, this Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor was vital to her; no matter how many Spirit Stones it cost, she would never be stingy.

Seeing that Qin Changsheng's count was correct, Fairy Qingling carefully put the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor into her Storage Pouch. "Thank you, Martial Nephew, for parting with your treasure!"

The surrounding people watched this shocking transaction, their eyes full of envy and jealousy, but no one dared to step forward and say anything.

They were both envious that Qin Changsheng could suddenly possess one hundred million Spirit Stones overnight and jealous that Fairy Qingling could obtain a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor at such an "affordable" price.

There were even a few people talking in low voices, seemingly wanting to rob Qin Changsheng.

"I have important matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave!" Qin Changsheng stood up and hurriedly left the place.

Seeing Qin Changsheng leave, several people immediately stood up and followed behind him.

Lin Hao was among these people, and his gaze was also somewhat urgent.

"Teacher..." Jiang Lijuan seemed a bit worried.

"Pay it no mind!" Fairy Qingling said.

Although Jiang Lijuan was somewhat startled, she still stood to the side with her hands cupped.

Outside Qingyun Tower.

Just as Qin Changsheng stepped out of Qingyun Tower, he saw Lin Zhentian waiting there with over twenty law enforcement team members.

Seeing Lin Zhentian's appearance, Qin Changsheng knew that Lin Zhentian was likely waiting for him.

Sure enough, in the next instant, Lin Zhentian shouted loudly, "Halt!"

"Elder Lin, what are your instructions?" Qin Changsheng stopped his pace.

Lin Zhentian scanned Qin Changsheng, and seeing that he was dressed ordinarily and his cultivation was not high, he felt at ease.

"Men, seize this person who stole my Lin family's Low Grade Heaven-Grade inner armor!"

The reason Lin Zhentian was so eager to seize Qin Changsheng was that not long ago, their Lin family had lost eighty million Spirit Stones.

Qin Changsheng possessed a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor and had no background.

So Lin Zhentian decided to seize Qin Changsheng and then take the Spirit Stones he had received from selling the inner armor.

This way, all of their Lin family's deficit would disappear.

And there would even be a surplus of twenty million Spirit Stones.

"What? Stole the Lin family's Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor?"

"No wonder this kid could produce a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact!"

"So it belongs to the Lin family!"

"I was saying, how could an ordinary person have a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact!"

"I think Lin Zhentian is using this as an excuse to cause trouble!"

"This person has been targeted by Lin Zhentian; he's definitely going to die a miserable death!"

These words exploded like a thunderclap among the crowd, instantly causing a huge uproar.

The Cultivators who were originally discussing things stopped talking and turned their gazes toward Qin Changsheng and Lin Zhentian, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Just now in Qingyun Tower, they had all seen Qin Changsheng produce a Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive inner armor and sell it to Fairy Qingling for one hundred million Spirit Stones.

Originally, everyone thought that Qin Changsheng had obtained the inner armor through good luck.

Now it seemed it was stolen from the Lin family.

These people still had a lot of faith in Lin Zhentian's words.

After all, Lin Zhentian was a Golden Core Cultivator with very powerful cultivation, and he was also the Law Enforcement Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Disciples dressed in green law enforcement uniforms immediately stepped forward upon hearing Lin Zhentian's command, holding their law enforcement longswords and closing in on Qin Changsheng step by step. Their expressions were solemn, and their auras were tense, clearly prepared to strike.

The sharp blades glinted with a freezing cold light, surrounding Qin Changsheng completely, leaving him no chance to break out.

Qin Changsheng stood where he was, his expression still calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

He looked up at Lin Zhentian without any surprise.

He knew very well that Lin Zhentian was motivated by greed and wanted to seize the Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact in his hands.
