1072 Tease (1/2)

”Truth be told, we did receive a thousand-year Dragon Tendon, but this item is extraordinarily precious. Even Nascent Soul and Immortal Patriarchs can make use of it. Therefore…” Madam Luo said after frowning a little.

”I only want this. You can ask for any price!” Fang Yuan waved his hand generously.

”Thousand-year Dragon Tendons can't be measured with ordinary spirit stones, and most are bartered!” Madam Luo showed an embarrassed look. ”However, since Senior wants it, I will try my best to negotiate for you. Please wait a day. Is that okay?”

”Well… All right!” Fang Yuan was slightly upset as he left.

”What's the matter?” The shopkeeper frowned. ”I don't recall there being any Nascent Soul seniors who want this Dragon Tendon. Wouldn't using this to make him owe us a favor be a great idea?”

”Hmph… When it comes to figuring out how people think, you're still a level lower than me!” Madam Luo giggled. ”This item is obviously very important to that person. How could I give it away so easily? I must whet his appetite. Only then will he believe that we are capable. Maybe we'll even obtain some gratitude from him.”

”But we'll be in big trouble if he finds out!” Lao Shetou looked around nervously

”What's there to be afraid of? An Immortal arranged the restrictions here. If we don't want it to happen, who could eavesdrop?” Madam Luo laughed charmingly. ”Besides… even if he knows, would he dare provoke the city masters?”

”This…”

The Miscellaneous House was the property of Qingfeng City, and behind it were a few Nascent Soul city masters.

Furthermore, these five Nascent Soul city masters were skilled in a Five Elements Formation that had once withstood ten blows from an Immortal, making them famous.

Fang Yuan had just arrived, evident from him buying a map, and was clearly not from a powerful influence.

Madam Luo would naturally not think much of such an itinerant cultivator.

”Although it makes sense, going through all that trouble merely to raise the price?” Lao Shetou was slightly hesitant.

”Of course not… Have you forgotten the orders of the city masters?” Madam Luo winked. ”Didn't the higher-ups want us to gather Golden Core cultivators? It's just nice that his cultivation level is enough… The thousand-year Dragon Tendon can be his reward… When the time comes, we could even not take his spirit stones. He'll still owe us a favor!”

”Eh?” Lao Shetou's eyes brightened. ”That's true! But the mission must be extremely dangerous for the city masters to recruit outside cultivators instead of local ones. If he manages to return alive, it would be best to waive the cost of the thousand-year Dragon Tendon!”

”I'm well aware of that.”

Madam Luo's slightly angry appearance was breathtaking, and even Lao Shetou felt slightly dazed. He immediately turned around, not daring to look anymore.

…

”Hmph!” Unknownst to them, Fang Yuan was hiding in the void and coldly witnessing their discussion. ”They're playing me for a fool! Looks like… I'll have to show them the methods of the world's best godly thief!”

If these two had been sincere and honest, he would not have minded making a real purchase.

However, now that they wanted to use the thousand-year Dragon Tendon as bait to trick him into doing something dangerous, he was truly angered.

”If they had told me honestly, I wouldn't have minded. After all, despite how vast the world is, there aren't many places that can trap me… But intentionally deceiving me?”

Fang Yuan sneered coldly and used his spiritual will to probe the storage bags of Madam Luo and Lao Shetou.

”Not here. Looks like it's in the level above!”

He waited a moment before following behind Madam Luo and reaching the treasure room one level above.

Numerous treasures were neatly displayed on rows and rows of wooden shelves for customers to browse.

”Each of these drawers actually has a powerful restriction. Only the token in Madam Luo's storage bag can open the restrictions… Even her token has a limitation on how many times she can use it each day!”

Fang Yuan understood most of the array's principles after slightly probing. ”Too bad… this array master's accomplishments in space are still too shallow.”

Having reached large success in the Illusion Realm's nomological laws, he was qualified to look down on ninety-nine percent of this world's array masters.

As long as the array did not reach his level, it would be no match for his Illusion Realm magical power.

”Found it, the thousand-year Dragon Tendon!”

Fang Yuan searched through many drawers, and his eyes lit up when a translucent yellow tendon appeared on his hand.

This was the essence of a thousand-year earth dragon. Most importantly, its energy was incredibly gentle, and even an ordinary person could consume it. After consumption, one's physique would immediately remold. Their skin would be able to withstand weapon strikes, and their strength would increase to fifty thousand kilograms.

Of course, no cultivator would be so lavish. The true use of a thousand-year Dragon Tendon was in conjunction with other medicines for certain body refining techniques.

”If I only steal this, it'd be as good as admitting that I was the thief!”

Fang Yuan's thoughts moved.

Instantly, one treasure after another appeared in the Pantheon Palace.

Gold Ingot was extremely familiar with the process. He checked each one carefully before classifying them and putting them away.

”Hmm?” Madam Luo rubbed her eyes. There was a Green Jade Dragon Flower in front of her just a second ago.

This exotic flower was the size of a bowl and the main ingredient in refining the Nascent Breakthrough Pill.
