344: Treasure Fragments

“Esteemed guest, what do you need? My stall here has good items at a cheap price, the price is absolutely fair.”

Seeing Zhou Luo stop, the vendor immediately approached him, speaking with a pleasant expression.

Zhou Luo didn't look at him; instead, he gazed at the items on the ground.

He extended his hand and began to carefully inspect each item, just like a normal person would.

In fact, he had already locked onto that item, but it wasn't good to show it too clearly.

The vendors here were already “battle-hardened”; as soon as you showed interest in a certain item, they would quote prices without mercy.

He wasn't in a hurry to speak, just looking at his own pace.

The vendor next to him also couldn't figure out this guy's approach, so he could only squat down and ask nicely: “Esteemed guest, is there anything you're satisfied with?”

“What's the price of this item?” Zhou Luo pointed to an ordinary glazed lamp.

This glazed lamp was an incomplete High Grade magic tool, not particularly high-end, but he deliberately pointed his spearhead here first.

Hearing this, the vendor's eyes lit up, and he immediately quoted a price: “Esteemed guest, you truly have good taste. This glazed lamp has quite a history; it was unearthed from an Ancient Ruins...”

These vendors had long cultivated strong business capabilities, so as soon as Zhou Luo showed a little interest, he began to talk endlessly about the information of this magic tool.

Unless one was a Spirit Appraisal Master, ordinary Qi Training cultivators, without the aid of specialized tools, would find it difficult to discern the quality and other information of items with the naked eye.

But what this vendor didn't know was that Zhou Luo was a Second Order Spirit Appraisal Master.

For some items, he didn't even need to examine them closely; he could tell their general origin with just a glance.

So no matter how much the vendor in front of him exaggerated, he didn't believe a single word.

“How many Spirit Stones?”

When the other party had finished speaking, Zhou Luo directly asked.

And the other party also went along with the flow, smiling: “Esteemed guest, you also know its preciousness. How about this, I think you're fated with it, five hundred Spirit Stones.”

A damaged High Grade magic tool, daring to directly quote five hundred Spirit Stones.

Probably only a place like this could do it.

You should know that a normal High Grade magic tool on the market is only a little over a hundred Spirit Stones.

Zhou Luo glanced at him, said nothing, and just got up and left.

Seeing the other party about to leave, the vendor became anxious.

He immediately realized that the other party was knowledgeable, so he quickly stopped him: “Hey, hey, hey, wait a moment, you can bargain!”

“Thirty Spirit Stones.” Zhou Luo gave his offer.

If it weren't for that final item, he might not have even taken a liking to this magic tool.

But it's good anyway, it can be used for his Body Refining later.

Anyway, over the years, his Ten Thousand Refinements Treasure Body Technique had already reached the second stage.

Now, his Physical Body was already equivalent to a First-Order supreme-grade magic tool.

Although there was still some distance from a Foundation Establishment magic tool, at this rate, he would definitely advance to a Treasure Artifact in the future.

Hearing this price, the vendor's face instantly fell. He shook his head and said, “This isn't bargaining, this is clearly taking my life.”

“If possible, I can also buy some other things. If not, then forget it,” Zhou Luo said, going along with the situation.

In this situation, he had to do this.

Otherwise, once someone detected a flaw, it would be even harder to get that item.

The vendor was clearly conflicted upon hearing this.

Zhou Luo had already stood up, and seeing the other party's hesitant look, he made a move to leave.

Seeing this, the vendor quickly called out to him: “Wait, wait, we can discuss it. What other things do you want to buy?”

Only then did Zhou Luo stop and casually pointed at a few items, which naturally included that somewhat special item.

“Two hundred Spirit Stones in total, if that works, I'll take them directly.” He decisively gave his final offer.

And upon hearing this price, the vendor's eyes lit up.

Because he roughly calculated that if it was this price, he could still make a profit of a few dozen Spirit Stones.

Although it was only a few dozen, it was better than nothing.

So he didn't have any doubts and directly chose to agree.

Just like that, Zhou Luo naturally obtained that somewhat special item.

After getting these things, he didn't continue.

After all, doing this once was fine, but if he did it multiple times, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.

After getting that item, he directly returned to the Bai Family.

At this time, the room had been cleaned thoroughly by Bai Jiayu.

He took out that item separately.

It was a somewhat incomplete jade slip, with broken rune patterns on it, looking no different from an ordinary jade slip.

But as a Second Order Spirit Appraisal Master, when he touched this jade slip, he felt a heavy aura.

That aura was very faint; even ordinary Qi Training cultivators, or even Foundation Establishment cultivators, might not be able to detect it.

But Zhou Luo, with the help of the Spirit Appraisal Master's techniques and the Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm, could sense it.

He had never seen this aura before.

But possessing a Foundation Establishment magic tool, he could confirm that this thing was definitely higher than a Foundation Establishment magic tool, very likely a Treasure Artifact fragment.

At the moment, he was not sure.

After all, items of the Treasure Artifact level were beyond his current ability and Realm to control.

And the best way to verify the characteristics of this item was naturally to use it for Body Refining.

With this thought, he first called Bai Jiayu and had her guard outside to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Then he placed Second Order spiritual talismans in the room.

These spiritual talismans had the effect of shielding Divine Sense and isolating power, making it difficult for even Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators to easily break through.

These Second Order spiritual talismans were refined by him over the years by searching for Materials, and they were Just in time today.

After preparing these, he sat cross-legged on the cushion and held the jade slip in his hand.

Initially, he did not directly refine his body, because there was still a layer of membrane on the jade slip, which was probably left by the original Master and had to be removed first.

After a long time, he successfully removed the membrane on it, then calmed his mind and began to circulate the spell of the Ten Thousand Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Under the circulation of the spell, waves of pure power surged within his body.

That power was infinitely profound, pulling the magical power, circulating through the Meridians, and then falling onto the item through the Meridians.

After a moment, the item emitted a burst of light.

The light was brilliant, gradually enveloping his entire right hand, and within that light, strands of power were stripped away, then injected into his Meridians, and then fed back to his whole body.

In this cycle, the power of the jade slip was also gradually being absorbed.

If the power of a magic tool was a pond, then a Treasure Artifact was an entire lake, the difference in power between the two was immense.

Even though this was just a damaged Treasure Artifact, the power within it was still incredibly vast and mighty.

So much so that his Physical Body was also continuously transforming and breaking through under the nourishment of these powers.
