In the end, Chi Xue Child was forced to sell the spear for a single Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone.
Chi Xue Child asked Jiang Zuo, "Fellow Daoist, that spear is a fake, right? It's useless, isn't it?"
Liuyue Xue's expression turned cold. She wanted to stab Chi Xue Child to death.
Jiang Zuo said, "The Heaven-Breaking Spear. As far as I know, it comes with a legacy, but I wouldn't recommend accepting it."
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan asked on Liuyue Xue's behalf, "Why? Is there something wrong with the legacy?"
Jiang Zuo shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with it, and the Heaven-Breaking Spear is incredibly powerful. But don't you think that those who practice the spear have terrible luck?"
Everyone: "..."
'That's the only reason he doesn't recommend accepting the legacy?'
'Anything worthy of the word 'legacy' should be something extraordinary, right?'
Chi Xue Child asked curiously, "These items are all so powerful. Fellow Daoist, how were you able to undo the Seal?"
Liuyue Xue and Demon Cultivator Mo Yan were also very curious about this.
'It's impressive enough to see that these items are special, but for a 1.1 to break an Ancient Seal... isn't that a bit much?'
Jiang Zuo said, "The Seal is actually very simple. You just need to find someone who's slightly proficient with seals, and they'd be able to break it after a bit of research.
The Daoist who sold it wasn't deliberately trying to make things difficult.
What he was really testing was your perception. Or perhaps, your luck."
"Luck?"
"Yes. The Seal itself isn't what's powerful. The real trick is the Concealment. All these ancient Magical Treasures have a type of Concealing Restriction on them. This Restriction can hide anything unusual about them, and even create a completely new appearance.
So the Seal is nothing special. The truly powerful part is what prevents you from seeing the treasure's unique qualities.
Moreover, the Restriction and the Seal were designed to be linked.
Once the Seal is undone, the Concealment effect disappears."
Chi Xue Child and the others nodded. 'So that's how it is.'
However, they all overlooked one thing: what Jiang Zuo called "slightly proficient" was on a completely different level from their understanding of the term.
Restrictions and Arrays don't have particularly high Cultivation requirements. So even if he couldn't activate a Restriction himself, he could inscribe the Restriction Runes onto a medium.
Just like in the Ancient Battlefield, as long as he drew the Array, the battlefield itself would power it for his use.
This was because the Array belonged to the Ancient Battlefield, and many places within the Ancient Battlefield were natural array formations.
These formations were like complex combination locks, and all Jiang Zuo had to do was enter the code.
As long as he understood all the Arrays and Restrictions of the Ancient Battlefield, with a slightly higher Cultivation, Jiang Zuo could walk through it as if it were flat ground.
Chi Xue Child said, "Let's look around some more. Oh, I already called my master and asked him to send someone to pick us up."
Liuyue Xue and Demon Cultivator Mo Yan both nodded. Without a senior to protect them, they felt like they'd be targeted.
After all, they were each carrying a fortune.
Even if it just looked like scrap metal to others.
Jiang Zuo said, "Where's the Spirit Medicine? I'd like to take a look."
"This way," Chi Xue Child called out.
Afterward, Jiang Zuo went over to an herb stall.
It was just a stall with a pile of what looked like weeds. Jiang Zuo lost interest after a single glance. This vendor was even less scrupulous than the Daoist from before.
There wasn't a single good thing there.
Chi Xue Child then led Jiang Zuo to a few other places, including all the ones he had been optimistic about, but unfortunately, none of them had anything good.
"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, is there anything you want to buy now?" Chi Xue Child asked.
He didn't want anything else. Right now, he just wanted to go back and try out his Red Sword.
It was the same for Liuyue Xue and Demon Cultivator Mo Yan. You could say they had made a huge profit on this trip.
Of course, Jiang Zuo wouldn't tell them that he was the one who had profited the most.
Then Jiang Zuo said, "Let's look for Spirit Medicine."
Chi Xue Child said, "Fellow Daoist, if you need Spirit Medicine, you can buy it from Fairy Liuyue Xue. Her Sect is in that business."
Liuyue Xue nodded. She was in a good mood now, so for the time being, she wouldn't hold a grudge against him for offending her.
"When the time comes, just post what you need in the group chat, Fellow Daoist. The Fairy won't rip you off," Chi Xue Child added.
Jiang Zuo nodded, then froze. He saw someone who looked incredibly familiar.
She was listlessly staring at the ground, and a woman beside her was pulling her along as they wandered, seemingly trying to cheer her up.
Jiang Zuo was a little stunned.
Liuyue Xue and the others followed Jiang Zuo's stunned gaze, but they didn't see anyone or anything special.
Chi Xue Child asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao? What's wrong?"
Jiang Zuo didn't want to explain. "Let's head back."
"No problem. The person picking us up is already waiting outside." Chi Xue Child and the others had been waiting for Jiang Zuo to say that.
After Jiang Zuo's group left, the young woman who had been wandering around earlier suddenly looked back. Her face was full of sorrow, an air of deep, unshakable melancholy about her.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Senior Sister will take you to get some treasures appraised. Finding something good will definitely cheer you up."
The young woman was completely uninterested. She hadn't been in the mood to come here at all.
******
Before long, Jiang Zuo and his group walked out. A young man was indeed waiting for them outside.
As soon as they were out, Chi Xue Child called out happily, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, look what I've got!"
Zi Feng, Chi Xue Child's eldest senior brother, had a Tier Four Peak Cultivation.
"What is it? The treasure you mentioned?" Zi Feng asked curiously.
In reality, he couldn't see anything besides a broken-looking sword.
Chi Xue Child proudly took out the Red Sword. "Senior Brother, with your Cultivation and perception, can you see what's special about this sword?"
Zi Feng looked at Chi Xue Child as if he were an idiot. "Did you forget to take your medicine before leaving home today?"
Chi Xue Child: "..."
Just then, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "Enough nonsense. Did you bring my Spirit Stones?"
Zi Feng looked at Mo Yan. "Demon Cultivator Mo Yan?"
"That's right. My master said he asked your master to bring the Spirit Stones."
Without wasting words, Zi Feng tossed a Spirit Stone to Demon Cultivator Mo Yan. It was indeed a Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone.
Mo Yan then tossed the Spirit Stone to Jiang Zuo. "You might be arrogant, but you've already sold it to me, so you can't go back on your word. My master is very powerful."
Jiang Zuo couldn't be bothered with her.
He took the Spirit Stone and immediately turned to leave. He had to get out of here as quickly as possible. It would be bad if the person inside came out and saw him.
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan nudged Liuyue Xue and grumbled, "Why does he have to be so arrogant?"
Liuyue looked at Mo Yan, curious. She then took out her phone and tagged Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "What's your relationship with Chi Xue Child's group? Why would Senior Brother Zi Feng be delivering something from your master?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan stared at her phone. "I'm standing right next to you. Can't you just talk?"
Liuyue Xue said out loud, "No."
Then she sent another message on her phone: "Hurry up and tell me."
Jiang Zuo naturally paid no mind to what was happening with them. As for whether someone might try to ambush him, that was impossible.
He still had the coin in his hand.
Even if someone tried to ambush him, they wouldn't be able to find him.
The real reason he had to leave so quickly was because he had seen Su Qi inside.
After countless ages, this was the first time Jiang Zuo had seen Su Qi.
And Jiang Zuo was shocked to discover that he couldn't bring himself to face her and ask for a divorce.
