Chapter 97: Flame Dragon Armor (1/2)

In a stone pavilion within the Spiritual Treasure sect that sold medium and premium quality armors…

There were many precious suits of armor exhibited within the glass counters, every one of which had a jade tablet in front of them, giving a brief description of the armor’s grade, its special uses, its agreeable users, and its price.

Inside the pavilion, a few equipment forgers from the Treasure school were introducing several suits of armor to the people who had expressed interest in them.

In one of the counters was a dark brown suit of armor that seemed somewhat dilapidated. There weren’t any complicated or delicate designs on it either.

Originally, a equipment forger from the Treasure school had been standing behind the counter. However, since no one had shown any interest in it, he had moved on to other counters to peddle other armors.

A tall Qi warrior in linen garments was standing not far from the counter, all by himself.

Ever since he had come in, he had been leaning against a stone pillar. He would look towards the armor every now and then, but he never walked around, or talked to anyone else.

In front of a counter, Luo Xin from the Cloudsoaring sect and her senior martial brother Shi Yi had their eyes set on a set of armor. It was at that moment that they noticed that tall Qi warrior and couldn’t help but ask the equipment forger behind the counter.

“Who’s that? I’ve never seen him before. It doesn’t seem like he has bought anything, has he?”

The equipment forger took a glance at that person, lowered his voice and said, “Oh, are you talking about Mr. Lai Yi? Have you noticed? He put that armor there for sale, but he’s constantly checking it. He doesn’t seem to be from our realm. He knows elder Gan Kang. Therefore, he’s here to sell that armor of his.”

Luo Xin was surprised. “He’s not a Qi warrior from the Realm of Flame Heaven?”

With a brief shake of his head, the equipment forger said disdainfully, “That ‘Flame Dragon Armor’ of his is only valued to be a third level Medium grade spiritual equipment. However, he’s selling it for nine thousand spirit stones. You guys know that nine thousand spirit stones are even enough to buy a sixth or seventh level Medium grade spiritual equipment. As soon as they saw the price, no one bothered to ask about it.

“Furthermore, appraisal masters from our sect appraised it. They all said that, although it’s fairly tough, it’s way too heavy.

“If Qi warriors of the three Heaven stages were to wear it, they’ll even find it hard to move about. Besides, its toughness seems to be its only merit. Plus, since the armor wasn’t refined and forged by our sect, no one has much of an interest to sell it. So…”

“So that’s how it is,” Luo Xin said gently.

After hearing that person’s explanation, he only thought that the foreigner Lai Yi was somewhat strange, but wasn’t interested in the Flame Dragon Armor at all.

Meanwhile, Lai Yi was still standing in a remote corner checking on his Flame Dragon Armor from time to time.

WHOOSH!

At this moment, a mysterious red light suddenly emanated from within the Flame Dragon Armor.

After that, the Flame Dragon Armor, which no one had shown any interest in, seemed to suddenly emanate an intense, bloody smell.

However, it only lasted for a moment before the light was gone and the Flame Dragon Armor returned to normal again.

The bloody smell it had released had been sealed inside of the counter, and thus no one noticed it.

A light of excitement flashed across Lai Yi’s ash-gray pupils. He took a deep breath, seemingly to calm himself, as he looked around.

At the same time…

In a distant part of the Spiritual Treasure sect, Nie Tian was using his psychic awareness to probe the drop of blood within the dragon bone in his hand. His eyes suddenly flickered.

When strands of his psychic awareness entered the drop of blood, he surprisingly saw a dark-brown suit of armor that appeared somewhat dilapidated.

What’s more, he could just barely sense that the armor… was currently in the Spiritual Treasure sect!

“Armor that resonates with the dragon bone! It must not be ordinary!”

Excitement instantly filled Nie Tian’s heart. He withdrew his psychic awareness from the drop of blood, and then carefully put the dragon bone away.

He immediately strode towards the area that was selling Medium and Premium grade spiritual tools.

Previously, after leaving the Pill Pavilion, he had followed Liu Yan to stroll around many stone pavilions that sold low ranked spiritual tools, where he didn’t see any such mysterious and slightly dilapidated armor.

Hence, he believed that, if that armor was truly in the Spiritual Treasure sect, it must be in the area that sold medium and premium spiritual equipment.

After that, he took his time sweeping through the stone pavilions that sold medium and premium spiritual equipment, glancing at the numerous fancy armors.

Before long, Nie Tian arrived at the stone pavilion that Luo Xin and Shi Yi were at. He once again scanned through the armor within the counters.

“That’s the one!”

Soon, he spotted the armor that had appeared in the drop of blood in the dragon bone, which was displayed in the unattended counter in front of him.
