Chapter 1184: Chapter 364: Fox Immortal Essence, Hephaestus’s Broken Hand, Bandaged Arm Chapter 1184: Chapter 364: Fox Immortal Essence, Hephaestus’s Broken Hand, Bandaged Arm “Nice stuff…”

Leonard Churchill looked at the [Life-Extension Powder] and the [Enlightenment Immortal Dew], maintaining a normal expression, but he felt deeply moved inside.

Both potions could be considered treasures that were hard to come by.

Potions that could extend a person’s life had always been scarce commodities monopolized by the rich.

Extending one’s life by ten years, the value of such a thing simply couldn’t be estimated in terms of money.

The cost of maintaining Leonard’s “Curse of Immortality” was substantial in terms of lifespan, making this item incredibly useful for him.

As for the [Enlightenment Immortal Dew], which could temporarily increase enlightenment, Leonard was truly tempted.

“Enlightenment” is a very magical attribute.

If you have ten points of enlightenment, adding just one point doesn’t mean you improve your comprehension efficiency by ten percent.

Instead, it could be like reaching the last step on a mountain climb–they suddenly broaden their horizons and immediately comprehend the key to a secret skill.

This is a supplement that’s vitally important for breaking through certain bottlenecks.

For others, this potion might result in a three-day enlightenment.

But with the enhancement from the Demonic Solution JOKER, Leonard already had high enlightenment; even a temporary point increase from this potion could provide an immeasurable advantage.

In his hands, the Immortal Dew would be even more valuable than in the hands of an average person.

Currently, Leonard was struggling with the obscure and difficult Demon God Secret Skills, so this potion was definitely of great use.

However, at the gambling table, one mustn’t easily reveal their thoughts.

Besides, the essence of this kind of gambling was “exchange of goods”; the value of the items was determined by the agreement between both parties.

If one side feels it’s not worth it, the transaction won’t happen.

For instance, these two potions were priceless to Leonard;

but for the peddler, perhaps he knew how to make them himself, so their value wouldn’t be as high as the [One-Eyed Ancient God Stone Statue] in Leonard’s possession.

…

Leonard was no stranger to the world; he glanced at the two bottles the peddler took out and showed a look of moderate interest.

He smacked his lips and said, “The stuff is alright. But it’s still a bit lacking compared to mine.”

The peddler wasn’t pleased at all upon hearing this and, with the tone of someone who believes the other doesn’t appreciate the goods, retorted angrily, “What do you mean ‘alright’? Young man, do you understand what these two potions signify? If you really put them up for auction, they could be exchanged for at least ten cities!”

Leonard listened and wasn’t upset, leisurely replying, “Sir, I’ve also seen life-extending items. I’ve even drunk the Holy Water from the Xismark Holy Grail… Surely you don’t believe your [Life-Extension Powder] can compare to that Holy Water? As for the other potion, I dare say, even without using any potion, my enlightenment isn’t inferior to an average person who has taken one…”

In the carriage were all Immortal Aegis Animals; falsehoods couldn’t be hidden.

Besides, Leonard was speaking the truth.

He was merely equivocating.

The less interest Leonard showed in the potions, the less they would be valued as chips on the gambling table.

“You…”

The peddler, having heard this, sized up Leonard and, though his expression turned ugly, couldn’t readily refute him.

Leonard knew the big fish was hooked, just needing a little more time to cook.

He simply took out another heavy-weight chip, pulling out two boxes and saying, “Well then, since I’m the banker, I’ll add a bit more to the wager…”

Upon opening, one of the boxes contained black crystals–these were [Dark Matter Crystals];

The other box held an amber-like substance, which was a piece of [Mithril Spirit Medium] that hadn’t been fully absorbed before.

Both materials contained divinity and were harmful to ordinary humans, but for the Immortal Aegis Animals, they were substantial supplements, and both were treasures difficult to come by.

No sooner had the two boxes been opened than the noses of those keenly sensitive Immortal Aegis Animals in the carriage twitched slightly, unable to help swallowing their saliva.

The Immortal Aegis Animals relied on the air and fortunes provided by their followers for cultivation. These days, the White Family of the East Wilderness weren’t very powerful, so the offerings they could provide were anything but substantial. To these Immortal Aegis Animals trapped in the Neon Trains for countless years, the two boxes had an irresistible allure.

Without waiting for them to ask, Leonard pointed to the two boxes and said, “I have at least a hundred units of these crystal stones. You may place your bets now.”

Exchanging goods–bringing out what the other party needed most increased their value the most.

He knew they were eager to join the game, so it was time to increase the stakes.

As he expected, the peddler, who moments ago felt indignant, saw the opportunity, set his face, and brought his own merchandise box to the table, opening it and saying, “I have some treasured items here too; see if anything is good enough to join the table!”

The peddler wasn’t foolish; he knew Leonard was driving a hard bargain.

However, he didn’t think that his treasures wouldn’t catch the other’s eye.

Opening the merchandise box revealed two layers; aside from the potions and miscellaneous items seen earlier, the peddler pulled out several items from the bottom layer.

Alright!

You don’t fancy the potions, do you?

Then how about something different.

A page of black imprint paper [Immortal Law * Heavenly Destructive Thunder], a small coffin surrounded by purple qi [Life Soul Coffin], a poisoned arrow [Relic * Seven-Colored Arrow], a jar containing a severed hand…

Leonard was truly taken aback.

These were all Immortal Aegis items that normal card masters wouldn’t see in their territory.

The peddler’s box was like a treasure trove from a certain blue-padded figure, capable of pulling out anything and everything.

Each item was strongly enticing to Leonard’s eyes.

Materials, relics, cultivation techniques, spells… there was a bit of everything.

Leonard did his best to restrain his thoughts, but when he saw the severed hand, his eyes couldn’t move away.

[Hephaestus’s Broken Hand]

Description: Legendary Quality; a mysterious severed hand leftover from the Chaotic Era, although it has lost its divinity, it still possesses extraordinary attributes beyond human tolerance. A Mysterious Type material that, after merging with a Profession Card, can significantly increase the ‘skill’ attribute;
