Sky Dragon Pavilion.
In a VIP room on the second floor, Lin Tianming and Tang Xiuyuan sat opposite each other, sipping tea and making casual conversation.
After leaving his cave dwelling, Lin Tianming had headed straight to the Sky Pavilion. His appearance had somewhat surprised Tang Xiuyuan, but he quickly understood the reason. sea??h thё N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After all, with the outbreak of the beast tide, all cultivators in the Wei Kingdom''s Cultivation World had been affected. Lin Tianming, a rising star of the Lin Family with considerable strength, was inevitably on the list for the Recruitment Order.
His presence at the marketplace was highly likely in response to the Recruitment Order issued by the Zhenyang Sect to participate in the front-line battle.
Without a good reason, one does not visit a temple. After the pleasantries, Tang Xiuyuan soon asked Lin Tianming about his visit.
Lin Tianming chuckled. At this critical juncture, the cultivators who came to the Sky Dragon Pavilion were all after treasures, and he was no exception.
At that moment, Lin Tianming took a sip of tea and then smiled, "Daoist Tang, my visit this time is naturally to purchase some treasures, and also to catch up with you!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiuyuan''s brow furrowed. Lin Tianming''s mention of catching up was undoubtedly just polite chitchat and certainly not to be taken earnestly.
Whether it was true or not, he didn''t mind.
With a calm demeanor, Tang Xiuyuan chuckled, "Lin, what do you need?"
"Elixirs? Talisman paper? Or magic artifacts?"
"Hehe..." Lin Tianming''s smile was wry. Without beating around the bush, he inquired straightforwardly.
"I wonder if you still have the Fake Golden Core Talismans I bought from you before? If not, Second Order Medium or High Quality Attack Defense Talismans will do. Any treasures that can enhance strength are acceptable; the more, the better!"
Hearing this, Tang Xiuyuan remained composed. The financial strength Lin Tianming had previously demonstrated made such a bold request quite normal.
Otherwise, most people would have thought such words empty talk.
Regaining his composure, Tang Xiuyuan took out a ledger, inserted his Divine Sense to check it, and then put it away.
Then, he smiled, "Lin, there are some Second Order Talismans available, but unfortunately, I don''t have any more Fake Golden Core Talismans. That item is quite rare. The only one we had in years was acquired by you, and we haven''t replenished our stock."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming was slightly disappointed, but upon reflection, he could understand.
Fake Golden Core Talismans were not common, and the Sky Dragon Pavilion wouldn''t sell too many of them. Especially now, such powerful treasures were coveted by everyone.
He and Tang Xiuyuan didn''t have a strong relationship, being merely a major customer.
Whether Tang was telling the truth or not, it wasn''t appropriate for him to press the issue too far or to express doubts, as it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Seeing his expression, Tang Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, as if remembering something.
"Lin, although we don''t have Fake Golden Core Talismans, our store does have several other treasures that are not too shabby. Might you be interested?"
At these words, Lin Tianming appeared much more pleased. He looked earnestly at Tang Xiuyuan and then pressed for details.
"Daoist Tang, feel free to show them. As long as the items are satisfactory, the price is no issue!"
"Alright...please wait a moment, I''ll be right back!"
After responding, Tang Xiuyuan stood up and left the reception room, disappearing from his view.
Lin Tianming waited patiently for Tang Xiuyuan to return with the treasures, his face full of anticipation.
Soon, after a short while, Tang Xiuyuan came back, holding a storage bag, the contents unknown.
Seeing Lin Tianming''s hopeful gaze, Tang Xiuyuan chuckled and took out two different treasures and more than ten Second Order Talismans from the bag.
Upon seeing the numerous talismans, including two Second Order Superior Attack Talismans, Lin Tianming remained calm.
But when his gaze shifted to the other two different treasures, his eyes blazed with eagerness, looking as if he couldn''t wait to have them.
Among the two treasures, one was a grayish-white bead that was identical to one found in the storage bag given to him by Lin Shikang.
This type of bead was known as a Spirit Detonation Bead, a consumable treasure with many grades. They were said to be refined from Demon Beast Inner Pills using a special method, ranging from First to Fourth or Fifth Order. The higher the grade, the more powerful they were.
The bead that was the same as the one given by Lin Shikang was a Second Order Superior grade, its power surpassing that of an ordinary Second Order Superior Talisman.
For Lin Tianming at the moment, such a Spirit Detonation Bead could indeed be considered an invaluable treasure.
The other item was a piece of blue armor, seemingly made from the hide of some beast, a defensive garment.
Tang Xiuyuan placed the two treasures in front of Lin Tianming, then began to introduce them.
"Lin, you must be familiar with this bead. As for the Blue Star Armor, it''s a Second Order Medium Quality garment, crafted from a complete Blue Horned Rhinoceros Hide. Its defensive power is exceptionally impressive, making it a rare defensive item."
Hearing the introduction, Lin Tianming picked up the blue armor and examined it closely.
Based on the remnants of aura on the armor, the beast from which the hide came was not to be underestimated; it most likely had been a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast, crafted from the tough hide of a Blue Horned Rhino.
Lin Tianming placed the armor back where it was and then began to inquire about the prices of the two treasures and the Second Order Talismans.
