As soon as Long Chen and Guo Ran stepped out of the teleportation array, they were surrounded by a dense crowd. Not only them, but everyone who came with them was dumbfounded.
"Brother, you're from out of town, right? This is your first time in our Futian Star Domain. I see you have extraordinary talent and an unusual bone—you're a promising rune master. Our sect is recruiting people. Come on, the registration fee is very cheap—only thirty Immortal King Crystals. If you pass, you can directly learn rune techniques."
Someone enthusiastically grabbed Guo Ran, exclaiming excitedly, as if he were seeing a brother lost for years.
"No, no, no, I'm not here to learn rune techniques..." Guo Ran quickly shook his head.
"Weren't here to study?" That's okay, since you're new here and don't know about our situation, I'll introduce you to you. Don't worry, it's all free.
Bro, did you see that? Here, it's all practical content, all hardcore content—you have everything you want. Seeing that Guo Ran wasn't here to study, the man immediately opened the small pouch at his waist, revealing a large stack of talismans.
Talismans came in various sizes—the largest was palm-sized, the smallest only the size of a thumb pad. The colors varied, each colorful, colorful and quite eye-catching.
Long Chen and Guo Ran were both curious. They weren't afraid of being deceived, so they just watched quietly.
Seeing their interest, the man didn't mind and was overjoyed: "Brothers, look—this is a strength talisman, a voice-changing talisman, a disguise talisman, a shrinking ground talisman, a directional teleportation talisman, and this one—hehe—the most popular talisman for men." "The man finally pulled out a talisman, grinning lecherously.
"Golden Spear Infallible Talisman?" Long Chen and Guo Ran were both stunned.
"Hehe, stick this on your waist. Let me tell you, put one on and it can swing back and forth ten times in the blink of an eye. Two stickers make twenty times. But it's not recommended to stick ten sheets at once..." the man said seriously.
"Why?" Guo Ran was puzzled.
"Because the speed is too fast, it's easy to catch fire!" The man chuckled.
Long Chen and Guo Ran almost burst out laughing. This kid was quite eloquent, selling things and quite humorous.
"How is it?" How many cuts have you made? One slash for a hundred pieces—I sell five Immortal King Crystals per slash to others. I see two of you are destined. Since I haven't opened yet, I'll just half-sell and half-give away. One slash for three hundred Immortal King Crystals, not second tier. How about that? Loyal enough? The man patted his chest and started selling goods directly.
"I really don't need this thing. Usually, a few of us buddies always brag in front of me, saying he can go half an hour without defeat, another says he can go an hour without defeat, and another says he can go seven times in one night.
Later, they asked me how many times a night I would say, 'Just once.' They all looked down on me. I told them that every time at dawn, my Dao companion would say: 'Can I rest for a while?' Guo Ran said helplessly.
The man: "..."
The man finally looked Guo Ran up and down, thinking this kid was as skinny as a chick—he couldn't possibly be that strong. But it wasn't easy to expose him, or the topic would die and the business wouldn't continue.
"Hehe, I was wrong, I misjudged you. So bro, you're really that formidable. I apologize to you."
But I still have plenty of good stuff here. Look at this 'Shrink the Ground into an Inch' talisman—one on each leg, so when running, both legs are like wheels, and your speed can at least double.
And this shield talisman, when crushed, can form a spatial shield that can withstand a full-force strike from a Divine Lord realm expert.
This Great Strength Talisman is even more powerful—one on each arm. Don't be fooled by my weaklings—with these two talismans, I can lift the entire Fu Tian Star Domain. "That man spouted sports car tricks.
"Nonsense! How could there possibly be such a powerful talisman?" Guo Ran didn't believe it at the time. Long Chen was stunned at first, then smiled, though he didn't say anything.
"A bet?" Not betting much, just a hundred Immortal King Crystals, I'll stick talismans, and I'll perform for you directly. "Seeing Guo Ran's doubt, the man said angrily.
"No problem, go ahead!" Guo Ran didn't believe it at all.
"Watch closely."
After the man finished speaking, he attached a talisman to each of his arms. Then Guo Ran saw that as the talismans lit up, veins bulged on both of his arms, making them much thicker. Guo Ran was startled—he had never seen anything like this before.
"Phew."
The man took a deep breath, then buried his hands on the ground and did a clean, decisive handstand with both hands.
"Damn, you ... Alright, you're awesome... I'll treat this one hundred Immortal King Crystals as tuition payment. Guo Ran was speechless. The whole star domain was about to be raised—this is how it is—he actually fell for it.
Guo Ran accepted the defeat and directly tossed the man a hundred Immortal King Crystals, which immediately broke into a smile.
Although he often used this trick to scam a little money, basically no one would give him that much directly—at most, only half. Some would just drop three or five Immortal King Crystals to pass the time of beggars.
Sometimes he misjudged and ran into tough opponents, even being humiliated and beaten. He had never met someone as straightforward as Guo Ran.
Taking Guo Ran's Immortal King Crystal, he felt a bit embarrassed: "How about I give you ten Golden Spear Unyielding Talismans? You can go back and test their effects. If you want them later, I'll offer you the lowest price." "
Hurry up and get rid of it. I don't even have a Dao partner. What's the point of that thing?" Guo Ran shook his head.
After the two finished chatting, Long Chen said, "Young man, as a local, you should be well-informed. Let me ask you, do you know about the Lingwen Pavilion?" "
Of course I know! The name of the Lingwen Pavilion—anyone from the Futian Star Domain knows it!" The man said.
"Have you heard of a person named Xia Chen? It's the summer as in summer, and the morning as in morning." Long Chen asked.
Upon hearing Xia Chen's name, the man showed a look of sudden realization: "So you came from the Outer Domain to hunt Xia Chen?" "
Hunt Xia Chen?"
Long Chen and Guo Ran felt a chill in their hearts. Long Chen asked, "I want to know everything about Xia Chen." Seeing
the man hesitate, Long Chen tossed him a bag. The man picked it up and was startled—inside were ten thousand Immortal King Crystals neatly inside.
"It seems you two are people of great background. How about this: there are too many people here and noisy people, so let's talk somewhere else!" The man glanced around.
Long Chen nodded, then followed the man into the city, found a secluded teahouse, booked a secret room, and the three sat down.
Just as the man was about to speak, Long Chen spoke first: "I need everything you know. After I finish speaking, I'll give you another ten thousand Immortal King Crystals. But if you think we're fools with plenty of money, I'll just search our souls directly." The
man was startled. Just as a mischievous thought flashed through his mind, Long Chen's eyes seemed to pierce right through his soul, sending chills down his spine.
The man was sweating and hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything. I won't hide a thing. Xia Chen was originally a disciple of the Lingwen Pavilion, but he committed the grave crime of betraying his master and ancestors. Now he's wanted throughout the entire Futian Star Domain. Right now, Xia Chen is nowhere to be found, whether alive or dead." Upon
hearing this news, Long Chen and Guo Ran's expressions changed.
