Chapter 268: Chapter 162: Each Harboring Their Own Schemes!
Not long after, Lu Li arrived at the central square.
At this moment, the square was bustling with people, a multitude of conversations and inquiries filled the air.
Due to no Demon Beast attacks in the past month and support from the Human Clan’s Golden Core Venerables, the tense atmosphere had dissipated significantly.
A group of Cultivators took this opportunity to turn this place into a trading venue.
Lu Li wove through the crowd, and the numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators on either side stepped aside upon seeing him.
Soon, he stopped in a corner on the west side.
He sat cross-legged and placed a wooden desk in front of him.
He then set several Top Grade Magic Artifacts on the desk.
These Magic Artifacts were merely items he had made during his spare time.
Since the Blood Refining Divine Weapon was completed, he hadn’t invested much effort in Artifact Refining.
After all, every Cultivator’s energy is limited, and their own cultivation is the fundamental concern.
In a corner, he also placed a Beast Skin Fragment.
This fragment was obtained from a previous trade.
With numerous Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators gathered here, the likelihood of discovering a clue greatly increased.
After all this, he was not in a hurry and simply closed his eyes to rest.
Time slowly passed by.
People came and went, and occasionally some Foundation Establishment Cultivators paused to look, but they asked no questions about the prices and left.
After all, these Top Grade Magic Artifacts were quite ordinary, and they didn’t arouse much desire to buy.
Until the sun began to set, no Cultivators had come to inquire about the fragment.
Lu Li, with a calm expression, packed up his stall and headed towards his loft.
The next three days.
He came to the central square to set up his stall as usual, but still, there were no gains.
On this day, in the early morning, as the sunrise began.
Lu Li left the loft, bathed in golden sunlight, and walked towards the square.
He quickly arrived at his usual spot amidst the familiar bustling crowd.
The crowd around had grown accustomed to his presence, but they were still somewhat surprised.
These days, he set up his stall daily with no gains, yet he persisted, which made everyone somewhat puzzled.
After all, Lu Li was also immensely famous among numerous Purple Mansion true experts, ranking just behind those top-tier Purple Mansion true experts, making it hard for him to keep a low profile.
Lu Li once again placed the Magic Artifacts and the fragment in front of him and closed his eyes to rest.
Time slowly passed by.
Until the afternoon.
Just when he thought he would gain nothing today, sudden footsteps echoed from ahead.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
He opened his eyes and looked up.
He saw a young man in a red robe slowly approaching from a corner.
The man was enveloped in a murderous aura, displaying a remarkable presence, his cultivation at the Early-stage Purple Mansion.
Clearly, he was a Purple Mansion true expert from the Demon Sect.
Not long after, the young man reached Lu Li’s stall.
“How much for this Magic Artifact?” he casually pointed to a red Flying Sword in the corner.
“One hundred thousand Spirit Stones,” Lu Li raised his eyebrows, his expression light and understated.
“I’ll take this Flying Sword, it will be perfect for my junior. However, I’m more interested in this fragment. Could you include it with the Flying Sword?” the young man appeared nonchalant.
“No!” Lu Li scoffed.
“You’re also collecting this fragment, aren’t you? Or is it the power behind you?” he was unabashed, directly exposing the other.
The young man gave a sheepish smile, dropping the pretense.
“I can purchase it with Spirit Stones, how about two hundred thousand Spirit Stones?”
“No sale!”
“Four hundred thousand!”
“Get out!”
Lu Li snorted coldly, his aura suddenly bursting forth, causing many surrounding Cultivators to turn pale, their chests feeling as if they were pressed by a mountain.
“What a strong aura!”
Everyone was visibly startled.
Such a momentum was hardly inferior to those top-tier Purple Mansion experts.
Seeing this, the young man’s face filled with fear.
“I meant no offense, I hope Mr. Lu can forgive me.”
He kept apologizing, feeling as if a tumultuous wave surged within him.
Such oppressive force was nearly comparable to his senior brother, Zhou Peng.
“Could he really possess such strength?”
Thinking this, he could hardly believe it.
“Don’t let this happen again, have someone competent come to negotiate with me!” Lu Li’s face was frosty.
He knew this man was probably just in charge of collecting.
The real figure behind this was someone else; the fragment was in his hands, responding to all changes without change, waiting for the other party to come to him.
Even if they collected all the fragments, missing this one piece, they were useless.
“I understand,” the young man nodded profoundly, his face respectful.
For Lu Li, who was nearly on par with the top-tier Purple Mansion experts, there was a vast difference compared to them.
Killing him would be effortless, so naturally, he did not dare to presume too much.
Subsequently, the young man turned and left, quickly disappearing near the square.
Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Lu Li did not choose to set up the stall again, but packed up the fragment and Magic Artifacts, standing up and returning to his loft.
……
In the evening, the sky was clear with scattered stars.
Inside a luxurious loft in the Demon Sect’s territory.
Zhou Peng’s expression was icy, his aura deep and terrifying.
“Are you saying the last fragment is in the hands of Lu Li?”
“I personally saw it, and he was not willing to trade,” the young man stood quietly in the corner, full of reverence.
Zhou Peng frowned.
“This makes things complicated.”
“Although his strength isn’t as great as mine, he is still one of the top disciples of the Flowers Sect, and Liu Luoxin is also interested in him; it would be difficult to snatch it forcefully…”
“Why not try reaching out to him, Senior Brother?”
“Are you suggesting…”
“Yes, since he isn’t willing to sell, he must be waiting for the right price. When out treasure hunting, accidents happen frequently, and with yours and Brother Du’s strength, you could suppress everything.”
The young man flattered continuously, his expression respectful.
