“A fifth-grade Rule Saint Artifact left behind by a five-step Saint King, this is a rare treasure!”
Pure Stage Rohan revealed a look of awe, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, “The poor monk offers thirty million Saint Stones to purchase it, I wonder if the cultivator would be willing to do so?”
Thirty million Sacred Stones was a rather fair price, but, looking at Pure Stage Rohan’s look of love, Zhang Ruochen decided to increase the price by a few percent.
Rule Sacred Artifacts, like the Rainbow Transformation Vine, were treasures that had a price and could not be found on the market, and could usually only be encountered in the auction house. If it worked well, the price of a Fifth Grade Rule Saint Artifact auction could be far more than 30 million Saint Stones.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the price of a Fifth Grade Rule Saint Artifact was indeed around thirty million Saint Stones.
After some protracted haggling, Zhang Ruochen sold that Fifth Grade Rule Emperor Artifact to the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm at a price of thirty-four million Saint Stones.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen spent forty million Saint Stones and purchased a Grade 7 Floating Slave Talisman.
Pure Stage Rohan handed the Grade 7 Faustian Talisman into Zhang Ruochen’s hands and specifically instructed, “The number of times the Grade 7 Faustian Talisman is able to be used is roughly around ten times. Exciting it out to form a Level 7 Faust Tower can indeed block the attacks of a Seven Step Saint King. However, stirring it up once can only last for three breaths of time, and once that time passes, the tower defence will disappear.”
“Every time it is used, the talisman cools down for roughly one hour. If, within an hour, the seventh level Floating Slaughter Talisman is invoked for the second time, although it can also form a tower-shaped defence, however, it will severely damage the talisman. Originally able to be used ten times, I’m afraid that after it is severely damaged, it can only be used five times.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally understood the need to use the Grade 7 Floating Slaughter Talisman reasonably, after all, every time it was used, it was equivalent to spending millions of Sacred Stones.
“Does the cultivator still want to purchase an attack type talisman?” Pure Stage Rohan asked with a smile.
Zhang Ruochen revealed a thoughtful expression and said, “Are there any cheap attack-type talismans? A talisman that can explode a second-step Saint King’s full strength strike will do.” ?
“There is.” ?
Pure Platform Rohan recommended to Zhang Ruochen a talisman called “Vajra Demon Bucking Talisman”, once struck, it could form a Vajra Demon Bucking Mallet, which could be comparable to the full force of a two-step Saint King’s strike.
The key was that it was cheap, only requiring one million holy stones to purchase one.
“This is it!”
Zhang Ruochen revealed a ray of joy and spent all four million Saint Stones left on his body to purchase four Vajra Demon Subduing Talismans.
Once the Equality of All Beings was turned on, all cultivators’ cultivation levels were to be suppressed by divine power to the same realm as Zhang Ruochen’s – Half-step Saint King.
At the realm of half-step Saint King, even those strongest human masters at the top of the Saint Merit Ranking would only be able to burst out at the most at the level of a second-step Saint King.
Therefore, the power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Talisman was already enough to be used to kill the enemy or to defuse the siege of a group of enemies. There was no need to spend a large amount of Saint Stones to purchase the Burning Lamp Talisman and the Buddha Light Pervading Talisman. Of course, the most crucial thing was that Zhang Ruochen couldn’t take out that many Saint Stones either.
Since Zhang Ruochen was a big patron, when he left the holy shop, Pure Platform Rohan gave him a complimentary item.
Body Fixing Talisman.
By simply sticking the Fixing Talisman onto the enemy’s body, the enemy would immediately be fixed and unable to move his entire body. It sounded like it was not bad, however, this fixation talisman was only effective on cultivators below Saint Kings, and it could not fix Saint Kings at all.
To Zhang Ruochen, it was considered a very ribbed talisman.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised his holy qi and injected it into the fixation talisman, and with a “wow” sound, the fixation talisman rapidly shrunk, becoming only the size of a grain of rice, and was hidden underneath the fingernail of Zhang Ruochen’s left index finger.
“If I were to give it to another Saint, it would be a supreme treasure to use for sneak attacks.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the nail of his index finger, and suddenly, the smile at the corner of his mouth withdrew, and then he thought, “After opening the equality of all beings, the cultivation level of all cultivators is suppressed to below that of a Saint King. In that case, will the fixing talisman be able to fix those Saint King level characters?”
Zhang Ruochen was eager to test it out, and if it was really useful, then I’m afraid that the value of the Fixation Talisman would outweigh the Vajra Subduing Talisman when it came to actual combat.
Unfortunately, going to find a Saint King level character and having the other party suppress their cultivation to the realm of a half-step Saint King was simply impossible.
It seemed like there was no chance to test it.
During a life and death battle, it was even more impossible for Zhang Ruochen to test the effects of the Fixation Talisman because, once he failed the test, the other party would be able to kill him if they seized this opportunity.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Holy Shop and let out a long sigh, a bitter smile on his face.
“Originally, I wanted to leave 18 million Saint Stones behind to purchase the Six Desires Ancient Pill to raise my spiritual power to the fifty-sixth rank. Yet, I didn’t expect to consume all the Saint Stones on my body again so quickly.”
Right now, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t fully resolved the side effects of the Joy and Wrath Pill and couldn’t take the Six Desires Ancient Pill. Otherwise, he would have long ago used the Sacred Stone to purchase it and use it to enhance his mental strength.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became sullen and cold: “The Yin Yang Palace is a huge treasure trove, once we attack it, what’s the worry about not having holy stones in the future?”
Zhang Ruochen did not return to the Hundred Flowers Palace, instead, he found a dojo to borrow a room near the Yin Yang Hall.
Early in the morning of the next day, Ji Fanxin came to this dojo and found Zhang Ruochen, handing him the information on the Yin Yang Hall’s evil cultivators. As for, what method she used to find Zhang Ruochen, it was unknown.
Zhang Ruochen flipped through the pages at an extremely fast pace, and in just a quarter of an hour, he finished reading the thick volume. He closed his eyes, and the figures of those Evil Dao cultivators actually surfaced one by one, some with hideous faces, some with smiles that hid daggers, some ferocious, and some charming.
Zhang Ruochen’s face became more serious, as if he was thinking about something.
Ji Fanxin stood next to the window pane and leisurely looked at the Yin Yang Hall in the distance, saying, “Having already read the information about the Yin Yang Hall, you’re still adamant about attacking it now?”
“With my current cultivation, going forward to attack the Yin Yang Hall is indeed treacherous. However, whether to go out or not, I still have to go in and explore it myself before I can make a decision.”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen looked at the index finger of his left hand and thought of something, a smile appeared on his face, “I’ve recently obtained a fixation talisman and I want to test it out, I wonder if Fairy can do me a favour?”
“What favour?” Ji Fanxin asked.
With that, Zhang Ruochen spoke the idea in his heart.
After hearing it, the coldness in Ji Fanxin’s eyes thickened a few more points and said, “Fix me? What do you want to do?”
“No, I just want to test …… ”
Don’t even think about it.”
Ji Fanxin immediately interrupted Zhang Ruochen and added, “I think it’s more important for you to think about how to crack the formations in the Yin Yang Hall. If you can’t solve this problem, you will undoubtedly be sending yourself to death if you go to attack the Yin Yang Hall.”
While Zhang Ruochen was pondering, a voice that was both sharp and arrogant rang out, “This problem, is it even a problem? Since this Emperor has come to the Tendu Sacred City, all demons and devils must all submit to me.”
A black owl flew to the window, holding out its fat chest and said in a very cold and arrogant manner.
Ji Fanxin’s meeting with Zhang Ruochen was a top secret matter that couldn’t be made known to any cultivator, or else it would invite a great deal of trouble for the Hundred Flowers Palace, or even the Thousand Rui Realm.
Now that an owl had overheard their conversation, Ji Fanxin’s eyes chilled, and between her two fingers, she immediately condensed a pink petal and struck it out.
“Boom.”
That owl screamed miserably and fell down from the tree.
“Don’t strike, that’s the bird I called.”
Zhang Ruochen shouted out words that were a beat slower before they reached Ji Fanxin’s ears.
Ji Fanxin was clearly a resolute character who killed without a hint of hesitation, striking out with a degree that was faster than the spread of the voice.
“Your bird?” Ji Fanxin said.
Slightly embarrassed, Zhang Ruochen coughed dryly and resumed, “It is a helper I hired.”
Ji Fanshen also felt a little embarrassed by the ambiguity of what she had just said, and hurriedly turned away, saying in her heart, “What’s not good to keep, but to keep a bird.”
Ji Fanxin quickly recovered, her two eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? Taking a blow from me, I’m afraid that bird has already had its soul scattered, it can’t be blamed on ……” “Aigoo
, it hurts, Zhang Ruochen, where did you find this chick, your hand is too heavy!”
That owl stumbled and stumbled, walking in through the gate and sitting on its arse opposite Zhang Ruochen.
Other than shouting out in pain, on its body, it actually didn’t have a single scratch.
This time, it caused Ji Fanxin to be slightly surprised, and immediately turned around again to carefully observe the owl, only to realise that, with her cultivation and spiritual power, she couldn’t even see through this bird’s cultivation.
“Let me introduce you guys, this is the famous Hundred Flower Fairy Ji Fanxin, while this is an immortal bird named …… Xiao Hei.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiao Hei had a problem with the name “Xiao Hei” and quickly corrected himself, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, this Emperor’s honourable name is the Emperor of Slaughtering Heaven and Killing Earth.” ?
Hearing the three words “Immortal Bird”, Ji Fanxin’s eyes revealed a bright light, as if pondering over something.
“Since Little Black has already rushed over, it and I will now go to the Yin Yang Hall to explore.” Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to continue waiting and was about to head out immediately.
Ji Fanxin said, “I’ll go with you.” ?
“You …… want to enter the Yin Yang Hall?” Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised.
Ji Fanxin took out a Void Delusion Bead and held it in the palm of her gelatinous jade hand, saying, “Why can’t I go?” ?
“Aren’t you not optimistic about me? I thought that you wouldn’t take the risk with me. Besides, you should be clear about what kind of place the Yin Yang Hall is, aren’t you afraid of defiling those immortal eyes of yours?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Since Ji Fanxin had purchased the Delusion Bead, it was obvious that she had been planning to enter the Yin Yang Hall for a long time, and it wasn’t an impromptu move.
Just based on this action, Ji Fanshen’s image in Zhang Ruochen’s mind had changed quite a bit. At the very least, she wasn’t using Zhang Ruochen, as she herself would go and risk her own life.
Ji Fanxin’s phoenix eyes glared slightly as she said, ”You think that in the entire Truth Heavenly Domain, you are really the only one who dares to deal with the Yin Yang Hall? You have not underestimated the heroes of the world.” ? Then, she added, “When you go to the Yin Yang Hall, I advise you, it would be best if you don’t change into the appearance of Shuang Feng. Because, among those Evil Dao powerhouses, there must be characters who are acquainted with Shuang Feng, and they are very shrewd, so they can easily spot the cracks from you.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I have nothing to rely on, just change into the appearance of a random man. However, I’m curious, Fairy Hundred Flowers, are you going to turn into a man as well?”
Ji Fanxin was naturally proficient in a highly skilled change technique, but, asking her to change across genders, she was still somewhat resistant. It was because of this reason that she delayed entering the Yin Yang Hall to explore.
Xiao Hei hemmed and hawed, “How about turning into a she-cat?” ? Ji Fanxin immediately condensed another flower petal between her fingers, immediately scaring Little Black into closing her mouth and shrinking her body into a ball.
Ji Fanxin’s pair of stunningly beautiful starry eyes stared towards Zhang Ruochen as she said, “It’s not only men who can enter the Yin Yang Hall, I can pose as your maid and go in with you.”
“Bringing a maid to the Yin Yang Hall still seems feasible.”
Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin and let out a laugh, “It seems that we can only condemn the fairy!”
Ji Fanxin wanted to enter the Yin Yang Hall, but she actually wanted to look for a senior sister who was extremely close. That senior sister, when Ji Fanxin’s cultivation was still very low, had helped her a lot, and the relationship between the two was as if they were close sisters.
However, several months ago, that senior sister mysteriously disappeared in the Truth Heavenly Domain, and Ji Fanxin had some suspicions that her senior sister had been captured and imprisoned by the evil characters of the Yin Yang Hall.
It was because of this reason that Ji Fanxin had gone in to explore no matter what, and the only person who could help her, the only person who dared to go into danger with her, seemed to be Zhang Ruochen.
She simply had no other choice.
