Message: Make it cheaper, master.

Seller's Message: Unified reply, this blueprint is non-negotiable. You don't need to private message me to haggle, I've already closed my private messages!

.....

"Oh, it's an acquaintance!"

The seller was Fan Tian, who he had traded with twice before.

This guy was so quiet.

Yet he possessed so many good things.

It seemed he truly had some tricks up his sleeve.

"First, let's see what Materials this Python Scale Armor requires."

Mu Feng focused his attention.

Soon, the Python Scale Armor's information appeared before him.

Python Scale Armor Manufacturing Blueprint: Any Late Stage Qi Condensation Python Skin x1, Any Late Stage Yao Beast Scales x10, brocade x5, Spirit Stone x100

Items in the trading post could not be viewed before purchase.

However, Mu Feng was not limited by this.

Because he relied on the System's prompts to view them.

"Good heavens, this Python Scale Armor must be tailor-made for me!"

This Python Scale Armor Manufacturing Blueprint required a total of four items, and he already had three of them.

As long as he gathered the remaining brocade, he could craft it himself.

This made Mu Feng very tempted.

"But this guy is too greedy."

"He's asking for five Magical Artifacts or 800 Spirit Stones right off the bat..."

He had neither five Magical Artifacts nor 800 Spirit Stones.

But Mu Feng was reluctant to give up this manufacturing blueprint.

A High Grade Defensive Magical Artifact.

And one that could be worn close to the body.

Most importantly, he already had all the Materials ready!

He only needed to gather the last of the brocade to immediately refine it.

Unlike other manufacturing blueprints that required him to spend a lot of money and effort to collect.

"Should I send a private message and ask him to lower the price?"

"Uh, he actually closed private messages..."

Mu Feng was just about to send him a message.

But he found that the other party had already closed private messages in advance.

It seemed he must have been annoyed by too many inquiries.

Well, it seemed this Python Scale Armor was not meant for him.

The other party had blocked all paths.

Even if he wanted it, there was nothing he could do.

He only had over two hundred Spirit Stones now.

Still a long way from eight hundred.

He did have some Magical Artifacts on him.

But whether it was the Azure Dragon Flag or the Cloud Stepping Boots, their value was much higher than this Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint.

Even the finished product couldn't compare, let alone the manufacturing blueprint.

The only thing left was the Beginner Flying Sword.

Could the Beginner Flying Sword be traded?

He did have quite a few of them.

But did this thing count as a Magical Artifact?

"Should I give it a try?"

Thinking of the Beginner Flying Sword, Mu Feng's heart stirred.

Its classification was very unclear.

It wasn't explicitly stated as a Magical Artifact, nor was it stated as not a Magical Artifact.

Maybe it could be traded!

The more Mu Feng thought about it, the more tempted he became.

"Anyway, if it doesn't work, there's no loss; if it does, it's a huge profit!!!"

Action speaks louder than words!

Mu Feng took out five Beginner Flying Swords from his Storage Pouch.

He had obtained these after killing Zhang Hao and his companions and looting their boxes.

Including his own, he had a total of six.

However, since the other party only wanted five arbitrary Magical Artifacts, Mu Feng naturally wouldn't give him six.

He took out the Flying Swords.

Mu Feng placed them on the trading slot.

He clicked trade.

System Alert: Beginner Flying Sword - 5.

System Alert: Trade successful. The Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint has been sent to your mailbox!

"???"

"Holy cow, it actually worked!!!"

Seeing the successful trade alert, Mu Feng was stunned.

Good heavens, I'm utterly speechless!

You can play it like this!

This loophole he found felt incredibly satisfying!

Hahaha!

Awesome!

"Hehe, I wonder what expression my good brother will have when he sees his High Grade Defensive Magical Artifact manufacturing blueprint traded for five Beginner Flying Swords later?"

"It must be very exciting, hehehe!"

Mu Feng could already imagine the bewildered expression on the other party's face when he took out five Beginner Flying Swords from his mailbox.

Just thinking about it felt fun.

But none of this concerned him anymore.

He had already obtained the manufacturing blueprint anyway.

He wouldn't return it even if he was beaten to death.

He opened his mailbox and took out the Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint.

System Alert: Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint x1

System Alert: Do you want to learn the Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint?

"Learn!"

Mu Feng nodded cheerfully.

Things obtained for free felt great to use.

System Alert: Learning successful. You can view the Materials required for the Python Scale Armor manufacturing blueprint in the Workshop.

He opened the Workshop.

Although he had already seen it once before.

Just to be safe, he looked at it again.

Python Scale Armor: Any Late Stage Qi Condensation Python Skin 1 / 1, Any Late Stage Yao Beast Scales 10 / 10, brocade 5 / 0, Spirit Stone 100 / 219

Indeed, only brocade was needed.

He had obtained the Late Stage Qi Condensation Python Skin and Late Stage Yao Beast Scales from the Blood Python Jiao.

He still had over two hundred Spirit Stones left.

Enough for the consumption.

But then again.

His Spirit Stone consumption had been quite fast recently.

It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to earn some back.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to afford the daily consumption required for the Intermediate Spirit Gathering Array.

Wealth, companions, Dao, land.

He now truly understood why wealth had to be ranked first.

Because cultivating was truly expensive!

Materials had to be bought, Spirit Stones had to be used.

Without wealth, it truly wouldn't work.

Later, he had to ask people on the world channel for the raw Materials for Qing Ling Pill.

While no one was competing with him for healing Medicinal Pills.

He should quickly earn a few more batches!

"Beep beep beep..."

Mu Feng was just about to check if there was any brocade and Qing Ling Pill Materials.

But his private message chimed.

He picked it up and looked.

Mu Feng was amused.

Because the private message was from Fan Tian, who he had just taken advantage of.

Fan Tian. 236: "???????"

Fan Tian. 236: "Big brother, please be a human being!"

Fan Tian. 236: "Five trash Flying Swords for my High Grade Defensive Magical Artifact manufacturing blueprint!!!"

The other party sent several messages in a row.

It was clear he was anxious.

Mu Feng chuckled.

I know you're anxious.

But don't be anxious yet.

"What are you saying? The trade items were set by you. It's a willing transaction, how am I not being a human?"

"Just tell me, did I send you the five Magical Artifacts or not?"

Fan Tian. 236: "..."

Fan Tian. 236: "You did send them, but five trash Flying Swords are basically useless!"

Mu Feng. 168: "If they were sent, then that's that!"

Mu Feng. 168: "Who told you to close your private messages? I originally wanted to private message you to ask if it was okay. I even thought you wanted these Beginner Flying Swords!"

Mu Feng turned the tables.

He started arguing with him.

Anyway, he could chat, but wanting the item back?

Just two words.

No way!
