No hope for eternal life

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng bowed to Gao Xuan and said goodbye, then went out and found Mu Xun who had left earlier.

Mu Changsheng mentioned that the spiritual armor could be sold: "I have already asked the county lady, the imperially bestowed third-grade spiritual armor can be sold at will."

Mu Changsheng told Mu Xun about this matter because he knew that Mu Xun had a protective talisman just like himself.

"So that's what you're asking about." Mu Xun said with sudden enlightenment, and then nodded and said, "The third-grade spiritual armor is really useless, why don't we sell it now."

"That's exactly what I meant. I know where is the best place to sell it. Follow me." Mu Changsheng led the way.

A moment later, Mu Changsheng and the other person arrived in front of a high-rise building covered in jewels and precious stones. This building was taller than all the shops nearby. On the plaque of the building were inscribed the three words "Ling Zhai Fang".

This is the largest store for buying and selling spiritual objects in Qihua City. It is also opened by Guan Zhiwei, the president of the Qihua City Chamber of Commerce. Mu Changsheng heard this at the previous banquet and made a special note of it.

Mu Changsheng and the other two were about to step into the shop when they saw a man walking out of the shop with a hearty laugh: "I was just talking about you two little friends, I didn't expect to see you now."

The visitor was slightly plump and had a very conspicuous moustache. He was none other than Guan Zhiwei, the president of the Qihua County Chamber of Commerce, whom he had not long seen at the banquet. He was at the Nascent Soul stage and his spiritual awareness was always present inside and outside the store. After spotting Mu Changsheng and the others, he took the initiative to come out to greet them.

"Greetings, President Guan." Mu Changsheng and the other man bowed respectfully.

"Come on, come on, let's talk first." Guan Zhiwei welcomed Mu Changsheng and the other man into the store first, and then asked: "You two young friends are here to buy or sell something, right? Just open your mouth, and I will give you a fair price."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng declined the offer and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Guan. However, Chairman Guan needs to make a profit when he opens a business. We should follow the rules and let the waiter in the store receive you. I really don't dare to trouble Chairman Guan to receive you personally."

Mu Changsheng said this because he didn't want to owe anyone a favor. Otherwise, if he took out the third-grade spiritual armor and the other party deliberately offered a high price to buy it, would he sell it or not?

On the side, Mu Xun also said: "My opinion is the same as Mu Changsheng's."

"Why are you two so desperate?" Guan Zhiwei said with a sigh, but he still followed Mu Changsheng and the others' wishes, called a maid from the shop, and instructed: "You will receive these two distinguished guests."

The maid looked like she was only 28 years old, but she was also very smart. When she heard the word "distinguished guests", she understood it instantly and bowed, "Yes, I will definitely satisfy you two distinguished guests."

"Then you two young friends, please take your time to choose your business here. I won't bother you any more." Guan Zhiwei turned around and said to Mu Changsheng and the others with a smile.

"Goodbye, senior." Mu Changsheng and the other two said with fists clasped.

Guan Zhiwei nodded, turned around and went upstairs.

After Guan Zhiwei left, the maid took the initiative to ask: "I wonder if the two distinguished guests are here to buy or sell something?"

"Sell first and buy later." Mu Changsheng said as he took out the third-grade spiritual armor bestowed by the emperor and the remaining seventy-five Mountain-Breaking Talismans. No one bought the first-grade talismans and they could not be sold, but the second-grade Mountain-Breaking Talismans could still be worth some spirit stones.

Mu Xun on the side also took out his third-grade spiritual armor.

"Two pieces of spiritual armor, plus these second-grade attack talismans." Mu Changsheng added.

The maid took the two pieces of armor and the talisman, bowed slightly and said, "Please take a rest, my two distinguished guests. I need to have these things checked by our appraiser before I can set the price."

"No problem." Mu Changsheng nodded, and he and Mu Xun found a seat and sat down.

The maid went upstairs holding two sets of spiritual armor and talismans in her hands.

"Do you know how many spirit stones a set of third-grade spiritual armor is worth?" Mu Changsheng asked Xiang Muxun. He didn't know much about the market in this area.

"Generally, a third-grade spiritual weapon is worth tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. Defensive spiritual weapons have always been in short supply among spiritual weapons of the same level, and their prices are relatively much higher, probably around 100,000." Mu Xun said casually. He used to be a waiter in Nansha City and knew a little about this.

"Yeah." Mu Changsheng nodded, and he had some idea in his mind.

After a cup of tea, the maid came back downstairs, bowed again and said, "The appraisal is complete. These two sets of spiritual armor were made by the imperial court. They are finely crafted and can be regarded as the best of their kind. Each set of spiritual armor can be priced at 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones. As for the 75 second-grade mountain-breaking talismans, each can be priced at 130 low-grade spiritual stones, for a total of 9,750 low-grade spiritual stones."

Mu Xun frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said bluntly: "It's too high. Even if this spiritual armor is much better than similar defensive spiritual weapons, the price shouldn't be so much higher."

"Let's put it this way." Mu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Let's say a set of spiritual armor costs 140,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the talisman costs a total of 9,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

Mu Changsheng deliberately kept a relatively high price. He knew that the price the maid quoted was probably what President Guan wanted. So Mu Changsheng didn't mean to offend the other party by doing this. It could be considered as a good relationship between them.

"Okay, let's do this." After thinking for a while, Mu Xun agreed to Mu Changsheng's proposal.

"Ah." The maid opened her mouth slightly and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. It was the first time she saw the seller actively lowering the price.

However, the maid was very flexible. Since the guest was an honored one, she would try her best to meet his requirements. Now that the honored one took the initiative to lower the price, she certainly had no reason to refuse, so she said, "According to your request, do you want to pay the spirit stones now, or do you want to pay after you buy the things?"

"Pay the payment after you finish shopping." Mu Changsheng waved his hand and said. He had a lot of things to buy and would have to pay a lot of spirit stones later.

Mu Changsheng first asked Xiang Muxun: "Do you want to buy anything?"

"Twenty Naling Grasses will be enough for me." Mu Xun said to the maid. Although he had not used up the Naling Grass that Mu Changsheng gave him, he had also felt the benefits of the Naling Grass, so he might as well buy a few more.

"Yes." The maid agreed and then looked at Mu Changsheng.

"I want to buy a lot of things, you'd better find a piece of paper to write them down." Mu Changsheng reminded.

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly took out a notebook, prepared to record it, and then said, "Please speak, my dear guest."

"One pound of second-grade cinnabar, ten second-grade top-grade demon pills... half a pound of third-grade purple sand, four ounces of third-grade Qinglan liquid... ten third-grade red fruits, ten third-grade blue flowers..."
