189: Chapter 189 Third-Tier High-Grade Magic Weapon

"Senior?!" The woman in the purple skirt turned around and noticed that Chen Changqing had not followed, asking in confusion.

"What was that just now?" Chen Changqing asked knowingly.

"Oh, Senior is talking about that Qin Young Master!"

The woman in the purple skirt paused. Although she did not know why the Senior before her was interested in this, she still patiently explained.

"Senior, Qin Young Master is a member of the Qin Family from Xianyang Valley. His real name is Qin Zichen, and he is a member of the eleventh generation of the Qin Family's 'Zi' generation. Whether in cultivation or talent, he is considered one of the absolute top individuals among the Qin Family's 'Zi' generation."

"Usually, he lives in Cang Prefecture City and is responsible for looking after the Family business. However, there are also rumors that Qin Young Master's lineage lost power when competing for the position of Clan Chief within the Qin Family, and has been suppressed by the Clan Chief's lineage under various pretexts."

"If not for this matter, this Qin Young Master is said to have long since reached the Late Stage Foundation Establishment. A Late Stage Foundation Establishment within a hundred years—even among the major factions in Cang Prefecture City, there are not many." The woman in the purple skirt spoke with increasing enthusiasm and shock.

"I see." Chen Changqing nodded.

He had been paying attention to the Qin Family all these years and had heard a thing or two about the two lineages of the Qin Family competing for the position of Clan Chief as mentioned by the woman in the purple skirt. He just hadn't cared about it at the time, not expecting to encounter the main protagonist right here today.

However, he was not surprised by this. Once a Family developed to a certain extent, various internal conflicts would inevitably arise. Initially, when the Family was weak and faced with various external dangers, the Family members would pull together.

However, once the Family grew and expanded, lacking the covetous eyes of external enemies, the Family members would begin to vie for power and profit.

Thinking of this, Chen Changqing became alert. In the future, if the Family wanted to continue to grow and expand, it would be necessary to implement standardized management for Family members and enhance their sense of Family identity, among other things.

Without further thought, Chen Changqing followed the woman in the purple skirt toward the fifth floor.

The matter of the Qin Family making a move against Chen Xuanyi was still deeply etched in his mind; it was just that he had no opportunity to retaliate over the years, otherwise he would have long since made a move to assassinate the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Qin Family.

Especially that Qin Yu, who thought that by disguising himself no one could guess his identity. In reality, through years of investigation, he had long since known who had surrounded and killed Chen Xuanyi back then.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the fifth floor.

A female Foundation Establishment Cultivator saw the three of them and looked somewhat surprised, asking, "Yueyun, who is this Senior?"

"Senior Sister Lanyü." Li Yueyun bowed respectfully.

"This humble one's surname is Lin." Chen Changqing said calmly.

"So it is Senior Lin. This concubine pays her respects. Yueyun, you go down first. Next, I will show Senior around the fifth floor." Lanyü said softly.

Li Yueyun bowed and retreated directly. Meanwhile, Ma Jiu, who was standing behind everyone, did not know whether he should advance or retreat at this moment.

He had not expected that a guest he casually encountered at the city gate turned out to be a Purple Mansion Master. This was simply too much of an honor; in the future, when drinking tea in the city, he would also have a topic of conversation.

"You may go down first!" Chen Changqing said to Ma Jiu.

"Yes, yes, Senior." Ma Jiu nodded hurriedly, bowed respectfully, and then turned to go downstairs.

After the two left, Lanyü then began to introduce, "Senior, the fifth floor is the place where our shop sells third-rank treasures. If you have any needs, just give this concubine your instructions, and this concubine will surely bring them to you."

As a Cultivator of Wanbao Pavilion, even though the person before her only emitted the aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she did not dare to be careless. Anyone who dared to come up to the fifth floor certainly had this strength, so she would not look at the person before her with ordinary eyes.

"Do you sell any third-rank Magical Artifacts here? This humble one needs a Third-Grade High Grade Magical Artifact."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lanyü instantly froze. She had not expected this person to aim directly for the most expensive treasures in their shop right upon coming up.

"Yes, Senior Lin, please follow this concubine." Lanyü took a deep breath. Even though she had seen all kinds of things in Wanbao Pavilion, she was still shocked by this person.

She had never received such a major client before. It wasn't that Purple Mansion Masters hadn't visited Wanbao Pavilion before, but most of them had their eyes on Third-Grade Low Grade treasures, and occasionally one or two people would come here to acquire some Third-Grade Medium Grade ones.

However, someone like this Senior aiming straight for Third-Grade High Grade treasures the moment he arrived—in her decades of career, she had never seen it before.

The two walked all the way forward. There were almost no people on the entire fifth floor, at most a few female Cultivators of Wanbao Pavilion like Lanyü. As for the Pavilion Master, he generally did not appear; his main role was to hold down the fort at Wanbao Pavilion to prevent any unexpected incidents.

...

"Senior Lin, these few items are the third-rank Magical Artifacts treasured by our shop to this day." Lanyü explained to Chen Changqing.

She glanced at Chen Changqing and noticed that his gaze had not fluctuated at all from beginning to end, so she continued to introduce.

"This is the qingluo umbrella, a Third-Grade High Grade Magical Artifact that integrates offense and defense. Its umbrella ribs are composed of eight flying blades; as long as spiritual power is injected, they can be manipulated to fight the enemy."

"As for the umbrella surface, it is refined from Cyan Steel Crystal. Once opened, it can form a defensive light barrier spanning several zhang or even hundreds of zhang around."

"If this light barrier is contracted to the smallest range, even a Cultivator at the seventh layer of Purple Mansion cannot break it in a few moves. Of course, the broader the defense, the lower its defensive power naturally becomes. The selling price is four hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones."

Hearing this, Chen Changqing's heart stirred. What a good Magical Artifact.

Next, Lanyü took out a new Magical Artifact, which was an armor-type defensive Magical Artifact.

"This armor is named the wanjun armor, most suitable for Body Refining Cultivators. Because this piece of armor can not only resist the full-strength blow of a ninth-layer Purple Mansion Cultivator, but can also grant the Cultivator ultimate strength."

"The so-called Wanjun is to enhance the Cultivator with tens of thousands of jun of strength. The stronger the wearer's strength, the stronger the attached power will naturally be. The selling price is four hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Lanyü continued to introduce.

After listening, Chen Changqing felt somewhat shaken inside. Every item was very good, but they were too expensive. He did not have that many Spirit Stones on him, so it seemed he would have to resort to bartering.

As an hour passed, Lanyü introduced a full seven Third-Grade High Grade Magical Artifacts. These Magical Artifacts were all remnants from the past.

The reason they hadn't been sold for so many years wasn't because these Magical Artifacts were poor, but mainly because Purple Mansion Masters in Cang Prefecture were far too scarce. Those whose cultivation was insufficient wouldn't specifically spend so many Spirit Stones to purchase a Magical Artifact that would invite trouble.

As for those who had the strength to buy them, most came from top-tier factions. Their own factions inherently had the ability to refine Magical Artifacts of this level, and it was cheaper, so they would even less likely spend this unjust money to buy them at Wanbao Pavilion.

After a full hour and more of introduction, Chen Changqing ultimately bought three of them.

The first was the qingluo umbrella, and the second was the wanjun armor. These two items were of great help to him.

The third was the Spirit-Fixing Pearl, which could fix a radius of ten miles around. The closer one was to the core of the Spirit-Fixing Pearl, the greater the restricted power would be; even a Cultivator at the Perfection of the ninth layer of Purple Mansion would be fixed in place if they weren't careful.
