The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1246 Qianjin Tower Chapter 1249: Chapter 1246 Qianjin Tower “Little Master?” Shen Luo's eyebrows rose slightly, finding the name somewhat odd.

However, he didn't have much time left to control the other's mind with his enchantment technique, as it was already running out. He couldn't afford to ask more.

“That Master Yan seems to be quite wary of me. What kind of person is he? Can he truly be trusted to relay my message?” Shen Luo asked the question that concerned him the most.

Even though the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld's enchantment technique was exquisite, no secret technique could be guaranteed to be foolproof. But to be able to repair the jade pillow, he couldn't care about these risks.

“Elder Yan is cold by nature, but he is honest and always keeps his promises. Since he has agreed to relay your message, he will surely do it. As for his wariness towards you, it's mainly because our mission this time is to go to the ruins of the Capital City of the Langxia Kingdom to look for a traitor, Ghost Yan, who stole several top-grade armors and half of the “Sky Machine Scroll” from our city. These items are too important, and Elder Yan is worried that you might be a spy for that Ghost Yan, which is why he's been so cautious around you,” Zhou Ming explained.

After hearing this, Shen Luo knew that Master Yan had not particularly schemed against him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Top-grade armor? Is there one called the Six-Armed Heavenly Dragon?” He thought briefly about the mission Zhou Ming had just described, and suddenly remembering the mysterious person in the underground city, he quickly asked.

“Yes, that is an armor refined by Che Yuan, the first-generation city lord of Tianji City. Its power is immense,” Zhou Ming said.

“It seems that person is indeed the Ghost Yan Tianji City is searching for…” Shen Luo nodded slowly, about to ask more when the green light in Zhou Ming's eyes rapidly dissipated, and he had to close his mouth.

Zhou Ming's gaze quickly returned to clarity, oblivious to the recent enchantment, and he had completely forgotten the content of his conversation with Shen Luo, instead beginning to describe the situation of Qianjin Tower.

The two soon arrived in front of Qianjin Tower. This tower was established by the Fifth Elder of Tianji City and was incomparable to other shops. The tower had five floors in total, was entirely red as if made from some kind of fire jade, and was extremely eye-catching. A large plaque hung above the main entrance, inscribed with the three characters “Qianjin Tower” gleaming in golden light, visible from tens of yards away, making the shop stand out like a crane amidst chickens on this bustling street.

Shen Luo concealed the pressure of a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivator and stepped inside.

The hall on the first floor of Qianjin Tower was very spacious, divided into a left and a right area. The left side was larger, with dozens of sandalwood long tables arranged inside. On the tables were placed all kinds of weapons like swords, spears, axes, whips, each shining with treasure light, quite extraordinary.

On the right side of the hall, there was a long stone platform set up for purchasing all kinds of spiritual materials, and there was even an independent counter accepting orders for custom-made magical instruments.

With the prominent reputation of Qianjin Tower, customers flocked in. At the moment, there were twenty to thirty monks walking around the hall, and from time to time, someone would pick up a weapon from below the tables and bring it to the counter to whisper something to the shop attendants. Shen Luo and Zhou Ming's arrival did not attract any special attention, nor did any attendants come forward to greet them.

Shen Luo didn't care for these formalities and swept his Divine Sense over the weapons in the shop, frowning slightly.

Although these weapons looked of decent quality, they were all magical instruments, which were of no use to him.

“Qianjin Tower has five floors. The first floor sells magical instruments, not magical treasures suitable for an elder like you. I'm relatively familiar with the Tower Master, so I will take you straight to him, no need to search floor by floor,” Zhou Ming said, leading Shen Luo up the staircase next to the hall. The attendants nearby seemed to recognize Zhou Ming and didn't stop them.

Having the opportunity to meet the Tower Master directly, Shen Luo certainly would not refuse and followed.

The two quickly reached the fifth floor. Zhou Ming clearly was not a first-time visitor, as he led Shen Luo directly to a side hall to sit down.

“Elder Shen, please wait here for a moment; I'll go invite the tower master to come out,” Zhou Ming told Shen Luo, rising to head outside.

“Haha, Brother Zhou, you're putting in so much effort to drum up business for me, I'm truly grateful. How can I let you go and call for me?” A hearty laugh came from outside, and a middle-aged man dressed in grey walked in, holding an ancient book with a green cover in his hand.

Shen Luo sized up the grey-clothed man briefly. Although he seemed refined, his cultivation level wasn't very profound, just at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

However, the man gave him a strange feeling, yet if asked what was peculiar about him, Shen Luo couldn't quite pinpoint it.

“Brother Fang is too polite. As fellow sect members, we should help each other out. This is Elder Shen Luo from the Eastern Great Tang, who has come here to purchase fine magical treasures,” Zhou Ming stood up and gave a brief introduction between the two, clarifying Shen Luo's purpose.

“So, it's Elder Shen. Welcome to Tianji City. May I ask what kind of magical treasures you need? I can arrange that for you,” the grey-clothed man approached with two swift steps and greeted him enthusiastically with cupped hands.

At that moment, two maids entered from a side door, presenting Shen Luo and Zhou Ming with cups of tea, steaming with spiritual energy.

“I am looking to purchase one or two defensive magical treasures, the type doesn't matter, the rarer the better. As for the price, Tower Master Fang need not worry,” Shen Luo spoke slowly.

Over the years, he had slain numerous monks and accumulated up to seventy to eighty thousand Immortal Jade, more than enough to purchase a few magical treasures.

Of course, if Tower Master Fang could bring out a treasured item worth several ten thousand Immortal Jade, he would only be happier. If necessary, he could exchange a few of his own precious treasures for it, as his current priority was to survive the Thunder Tribulation.

“Please wait, Elder; I'll fetch the best defensive treasures our tower has to offer.” Seeing Shen Luo speak so confidently, the grey-clothed man's eyes flickered with a peculiar light, but he quickly regained his composure and left the room.

Shen Luo watched the grey-clothed man leave, then picked up the teacup beside him, and quietly waited as he sipped his tea.

After a short while, the grey-clothed man returned, followed by three attendants, each holding a tray covered with a red brocade handkerchief.

The handkerchief was a treasure itself, providing protection against Divine Sense, preventing one from inspecting what was beneath it.

“Elder Shen, thank you for waiting. These three are the best defensive magical treasures our tower has to offer; I hope they meet your expectations,” the grey-clothed man instructed the attendants to place the trays on a nearby table.

Shen Luo looked toward the three trays with curiosity and lifted the handkerchief from one of the trays, revealing a palm-sized black shield. The small, oval shield was densely covered with spirit patterns and emitted an astonishing fluctuation of spiritual energy.

“This shield is known as the Turtle Spirit Shield, forged from the shell of a Mahayana Stage Demon Turtle, combined with materials like Millennial Black Iron Essence. It contains thirty-five layers of prohibitions and has already reached the level of a mid-grade Magical Treasure,” the grey-clothed man explained.

Shen Luo picked up the small shield and injected it with a trace of mana. Immediately, the shield burst into a thick black light, containing a dense power of the Water Spirit.

He nodded slightly. Although the Turtle Spirit Shield was much inferior to the Bloodthirsty Flag, this treasure was of the Water Attribute and matched the Nameless Cultivation Technique more closely, so it was worth including in his collection.

The grey-clothed man let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Luo's nod and lifted the handkerchief from the second tray, revealing a blood-red small net that emitted strands of Black Qi. From within, one could faintly hear the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
