Chapter 29 The Power of the Purple Mark

……

Sai Dujiu's face darkened, and he glared at Zheng Lingyun unhappily: "Miss, please don't slander me with empty words."

"Slander you? Humph!"

Zheng Lingyun took a few steps forward and stood beside Chen Jingyun. She sneered and continued, "Your name is Sai Dujiu, right? Do you still remember that three months ago, you sold this sword to a young man from an aristocratic family in Cangwu County?"

Sai Dujiu's expression changed slightly, but he immediately argued: "Li has traveled all over the country and has seen countless guests. How can I remember every customer?"

"Haha, it's okay if you pretend you don't remember. I can remind you." Zheng Lingyun sneered, "That family is called [Yancheng Qian Family], which happens to be my mother's family. I accompanied my mother to visit relatives some time ago and heard about what happened to the cousin of the Qian family."

"He spent 150 spirit stones to buy this [Golden Sword] from you. After he went back and used his blood and spirit energy to refine it, he found that the spirit energy he injected into it was like a drop in the ocean. It was extremely difficult to control the sword. Not to mention that its performance is comparable to that of a mid-grade magic weapon, it is actually not as good as a low-grade magic weapon."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Jingyun took two steps back, and his eyes suddenly became alert when he looked at Sai Dujiu.

I just thought this person was quite straightforward. I think I am really too young.

Sai Dujiu chuckled twice: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. Miss, your cousin Qian must have a bad nature with this sword. Didn't I return the spirit stones to him later?"

"You did retreat, but you only retreated 120 spirit stones. Your reason was that you had to find someone to wash away the imprint of my cousin's blood and spirit energy." Zheng Lingyun sneered, "It's also fortunate that my mother's family still has some power in the local area, and intercepted you early. Otherwise, my cousin Qian would be laughed at for the rest of his life."

"I see. Thank you Miss Lingyun for your righteous words." Chen Jingyun bowed gratefully.

Even though he still has Su Yuanbai as a backup, he still just helps.

"Mr. Jingyun, don't be polite. My Zheng family and your Chen family are originally a marriage alliance. To the outside world, we will naturally prosper together and suffer together." Zheng Lingyun returned the salute.

Then, Chen Jingyun glanced at Sai Dujiu coldly and said, "Miss Lingyun, this man is cheating everywhere. Why don't you and I report to our elders and expel him from Sheshan Market and never receive him again?"

Zheng Lingyun nodded slightly: "That's exactly what I meant."

After these words were spoken, Sai Dujiu became a little anxious.

He hurriedly said, "Sir, please listen to me. As the saying goes, 'A sword has its spirit and it will choose a good master to serve.' Even though Mr. Qian is not compatible with it, you may not be."

At the same time, he couldn't help cursing in his heart. He finally caught a big fish, but ended up with such a thing.

His original plan was to give the [Golden Sword] to this silly boy, then immediately run away with the stall. At worst, he would never come to Sheshan Market again.

The world is so big, how can there be no room for him?

Even though the descendants of these immortal cultivation families are very powerful in the local area, outside of this small piece of land, they are not as well connected as Dujiu, who has a wide range of friends and is not as effective in speaking.

"Heh." Chen Jingyun sneered, "Things have come to this point, and you still dare to quibble? It seems that you will only behave yourself if someone takes you down, right?"

"No, no, no, I admit that my words were a bit exaggerated." Sai Dujiu said helplessly, "But when it comes to selling goods, who doesn't want to say nice things? Let me put it this way, I see that you are very handsome and will definitely be a rare talent in the future. I will establish a good relationship with you and sell you my treasured treasures."

As he spoke, Sai Dujiu gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision.

After rummaging around in the stall, he pulled out a shield that looked ordinary from the corner and handed it forward, saying, "I have hidden this mid-grade magic shield in the stall for several years without anyone noticing. Today, I will sell it to you, young master."

Chen Jingyun took a look at the magic shield. It was rectangular and gray, just like a miniature mahjong tile that had been covered in dust for a long time.

He exclaimed, "Wow!" This Saidujiu really didn't take him seriously.

Even at this time, he is still teasing him.

No matter how good-tempered Chen Jingyun was, he couldn't hold back his temper: "Very good, in that case, you don't have to leave."

He was about to call the guards to arrest the poisonous pigeon. If this guy dared to resist, the Sheshan Market would not be a pushover.

"Sir, this is really a good item." Sai Dujiu was also anxious. "The treasures on our gambling stall must be tampered with so that people can't tell the real from the fake. This is a genuine mid-grade magic shield, belonging to the earth element." "Wait, let me take a look."

Su Yuanbai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped Chen Jingyun, stepped forward, took the shield and examined it carefully.

After a short while, he exclaimed, "This antique technique is quite good. If I hadn't told you in advance, it would have been difficult for me to find it out from among the pile of goods."

Su Yuanbai was only good at identification, but he was still far from having the legendary golden eyes that could identify treasures at a glance.

"Of course." Sai Dujiu said with a smile, "The good stuff on the gambling stall must be hidden. Otherwise, people with discerning eyes will know that it is valuable stuff and will immediately spend money to gamble it away, right?"

He hid this mid-grade magic shield in the stall in order to prevent the current predicament.

Once the market accused his gambling stall of having no genuine goods, he would take out this mid-grade magic shield in public and openly advertise that his stall did have good stuff, but the gamblers were just unlucky.

Su Yuanbai ignored him and looked at Chen Jingyun and said, "This magic shield belongs to the earth element. Its defensive power should be good. It also happens to be compatible with your gold element technique. It is quite suitable for you."

It is best for some offensive magic weapons to have the same attributes as your own skills. In this way, the spiritual power and the magic weapon will be in harmony with each other, which can amplify the power and make it easier to command.

However, magical tools such as defense or auxiliary can also be generated by oneself, or by one's own spiritual power.

Taking Chen Jingyun's spiritual power belonging to the metal element as an example, the best choices for magic swords and magic knives are the metal element, followed by those without attributes that are not in the five elements, and then the water element magic weapons that are mutually beneficial, and the least suitable are the offensive magic weapons of the wood or fire elements.

As for defense and special magic tools, you can also choose earth or water, depending on what they are used for.

"Since the seniors have appraised it, I will choose it. Stall owner, you name a price first. I will take it if the price is right. If not, I will wait a little longer. I will eventually get the magic weapon I want." Although Chen Jingyun wanted a mid-grade magic sword that belonged to the gold element, the dilemma was imminent after all.

The Earth Magic Shield also has its own unique uses.

What's more, among the five elements, earth itself controls water. Using it to deal with Zhao Junfei's [Flowing Water Knife] and water-walking techniques can gain a certain degree of advantage.

"If you really want it, I can bear the pain and let it go. However, this [Golden Sword] has been in my hands for too long, and I get angry every time I see it." Sai Dujiu's face was full of pain. "Please help me take it all. I will charge you a total of 250 spirit stones."

"Two hundred and fifty?" Chen Jingyun sneered, "Boss Sai, do you think I look like an idiot?"

"A total of 130 spirits. Your useless golden sword is not even as good as a low-grade magic weapon. It can only be melted down to recycle some materials." Zheng Lingyun helped bargain on the side. She seemed to recognize Su Yuanbai from Chen Jingyun's attitude.

"Oh, little aunt, I spent eighty spirit stones to buy this golden sword. I am at a huge loss."

Then there was a fierce bargaining.

After Zheng Lingyun tried to pull Chen Jingyun away several times and said that she wanted to find the guards of the market town to talk to him, Sai Dujiu finally gave in and sold the scrapped Golden Sword and Earth Magic Shield to Chen Jingyun for a package price of 150 spirit stones.

Even so, Zheng Lingyun still felt that it was a bit too expensive.

If Chen Jingyun didn't need it urgently, he could have waited a little longer and could have bought a treasure equivalent to the Earth Magic Shield for about 130 spirit stones.

As for the useless Golden Mans Sword, he was talking about how it was made of pure gold. If he could recycle the material of seven or eight spirit stones after smelting, he would be very lucky.

Chen Jingyun exchanged glances with Su Yuanbai again, and after confirming that there was no problem with the item, he took out one hundred and fifty spirit stones to exchange the treasure with him.

But in this way, Chen Jingyun only had a few spirit stones left in his hands.

Except for Chen Xuanmo who was in the heroic spirit state, no one noticed that after Chen Jingyun handed over the treasure, suddenly, the purple mark on his forehead disappeared with a "pop" sound again.

Chen Xuanmo frowned.

This wave of buying and selling should just be normal value transactions, so how could it trigger an opportunity?
Could it be that there is some unknown value hidden in this transaction?
Is it the shield that has the problem, or the sword?
