Jared strolled through the market with stair. Although the stalls were plentiful, theycked


    worthwhile finds.


    No sooner had they taken a few steps than they discovered a stall up ahead that was surrounded by a


    crowd.


    “Let’s go. There must be treasures up ahead. Let’s check it out.” stair could tell at first nce that


    the stall ahead must be selling a valuable item.


    Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted such a crowd.


    As soon as Jared and stair approached, they heard a flurry of heated discussions among the crowd.


    “This ck tortoiseshell is fake, isn’t it? This guy ims it can withstand attacks from an elite cultivator.


    What a joke!”


    “It must be true, but suddenly acquiring a dozen or so ck tortoiseshells is like hitting the jackpot.”


    “Even though this ck tortoiseshell is authentic, it’s only useful whenbined with charms. For us


    ordinary cultivators, it’s pretty much useless. Does anyone here know how to draw runic talismans?”


    “At five hundred thousand spirit coins each, they’re not too pricey. The real challenge, however, would


    be finding a high-level charm master to inscribe the talisman. That’ll cost millions of spirit coins.”


    As Jared listened to those cultivators’ chatter, his interest was immediately piqued. He hurriedly


    squeezed his way into the crowd.


    Jared discovered that the stall owner was an elderly man who appeared somewhat aged. In front of


    him, he had arranged a dozen or so ck tortoiseshells. Astonishingly, those shells were all of the


    same size, and even more intriguing was the faint spiritual energy he could sense emanating from


    within those tortoiseshells.


    Jared couched down, picked up a ck tortoiseshell, and began to scrutinize it. The patterns on the


    tortoiseshells were distinct, and spiritual energy emanated continuously from within. Jared reckoned


    those tortoiseshells were genuine.


    “Though the ck tortoiseshell is incredibly tough, it only works in conjunction with charms. Without


    drawing runic talismans onto the tortoiseshell, it’s no more effective than a regr golden chain mail.


    However, if one can draw runic talismans andbine them with the ck tortoiseshell, it’ll be capable


    of fending off attacks from elite cultivators. As for how powerful an attack the tortoiseshell can


    withstand, that’ll depend on the skill level of the charm master. Let’s go check out other ces. This


    thing is just not worth it!” stair said, giving Jared a tug.


    To those ordinary cultivators, half a million spirit coins for one item was no small sum. Moreover, they


    saw no use in having such a thing in their possession.


    If they were to hire a high-level charm master to draw the runic talisman, the cost would likely


    skyrocket.

    Upon hearing stair’s words, Jared was overjoyed inside, yet he managed to maintain a poker face.


    He was cautious not to let the vendor seize the opportunity to hike up the price.


    Jared turned to the stall owner and asked, “If I were to buy all of these ck tortoiseshells, would it be


    possible to get a discount?”


    “You want to buy all of them?” the stall owner asked, looking at Jared with a hint of surprise.


    “That’s right. I’ll take them all, but your price needs to be reasonable.” Jared casually fiddled with those


    ck tortoiseshells, feigning disinterest.


    The stall owner studied Jared, then nced at his ck tortoiseshells and said, “There are thirteen


    ck tortoiseshells here. You can just pay me five million spirit coins for everything.”


    “Okay.” Without hesitation, Jared pulled out five purple spirit coins and handed them to the stall owner.


    Immediately after, he stowed away the thirteen ck tortoiseshells into his Storage Ring,


    Once the deal was done, Jared didn’t linger and got up to leave at once.


    After the stall owner witnessed how decisive Jared was in making the deal, a hint of regret surfaced in


    his eyes. If I had known earlier, I would have set the price higher.


    The other cultivators were also simrly astonished to see how readily Jared purchased all the ck


    tortoiseshells.


    stair was particrly shocked. He hastily caught up with Jared and said, “Sir, don’t take this the


    wrong way, but even if you’re rich, you can’t just spend money like this. You’re squandering your


    wealth!”


    stair wore a pained expression as if Jared had just spent his money.


    Observing stair’s demeanor, Jared merely chuckled without uttering a word. This guy is really quite


    the miser. He probably values money more than his life.


    “Is there a more upscale stall in this market? Browsing each one is just too time-consuming.”


    Jared wanted to go straight to the stalls selling high-end items.


    Looking for something worthwhile at those ordinary stalls was like finding a needle in a haystack.
