Mortal Mirror

Watching the ever-increasing price, Li Ergou pondered to himself that if it were just a little increase at a time, judging by the momentum of these people, they certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

Now that it's already one hundred and fifty Dao Repository Gold Coins, he'd go for a more ruthless price directly, saying, "One hundred and eighty, I offer one hundred and eighty coins."

Li Ergou directly added thirty to the price, which slightly surprised the others, who sighed inwardly that Li Ergou really had substantial capital.

The thin-faced Daoist's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Feng. The two nodded in tacit agreement.

Then, the thin-faced Daoist came to Li Ergou's side and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, may we speak further in private?"

Li Ergou was dumbfounded, glanced at Bai Su, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

Li Ergou was amazed and didn't know what this guy was up to.

The two came to a corner, and Li Ergou saw the thin-faced Daoist wave his hand, setting up a barrier. He looked at Li Ergou and said, "Fellow Daoist, if we compete against each other, in the end, it will only benefit the fisherman. I think we should make a deal."

"Make a deal? How so?" Li Ergou became interested.

The thin-faced Daoist thought for a moment and said, "My fellow Daoist Zhang Feng and I are determined to obtain this great tendon. How about this: we'll give you some Dao Repository Gold Coins, and you don't bid anymore."

Li Ergou didn't expect there was such an operation. Wouldn't this be坑 (kēng - to trick/pitfall) Jin Wudi? But if that's the case, he wouldn't object.

However, this great tendon is also very important to him. If this guy let him copy it, he would essentially get it for free, then he could agree to this.

He weighed it in his mind and voiced his thoughts, "Won't Fellow Daoist Jin be angry if we do this?"

The thin-faced Daoist glanced at Li Ergou with a bit of surprise. Seeing his youthful appearance, he was somewhat relieved and said, "Fellow Daoist is still too young and probably hasn't participated in our small-scale trading gatherings.

You should know that those of us here don't have very rich fortunes, so many things won't be taken too seriously.

We also have unwritten rules here. As long as the item can reach the seller's desired price, those below can discuss the ownership. Now, the price of this great tendon has already satisfied Jin Wudi.

Next, we two can discuss the ownership. Why should we spend so much money on this thing?"

Li Ergou understood his meaning and also voiced his own thoughts, "Fellow Daoist, this great tendon is also very useful to me, but since you need it so urgently, I shouldn't compete too much.

I only have one small condition: after you give me some Dao Repository Gold Coins, let me study this great tendon for a while. I promise I'll just take a look and return it intact."

Hearing this strange condition, the thin-faced Daoist was puzzled and didn't know what Li Ergou wanted to do, but if he wanted to play with it, it didn't matter, after all, this guy couldn't run away.

With Jin Wudi and Bai Su as guarantors, he wasn't afraid.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "This condition is acceptable, but after Zhang Feng and I pay for the great tendon, we won't have much money left. I have some pills and spiritual herbs and other things. Can you pick a few to offset the cost?"

Naturally, Li Ergou readily agreed to take advantage of the situation. Then, the thin-faced Daoist took out many things for Li Ergou to look at.

Li Ergou looked at them. Besides some pills and spiritual herbs, there was even a refined set of formations. Seeing this formation, Li Ergou was immediately interested. After inquiring, he learned that this formation was called the Seven Stars Big Dipper Defense Formation, which was a medium-sized mountain protection formation.

Once the formation is activated, it can attract the power of the seven stars in the sky. No matter how powerful you are, you have to pay a huge price to break the formation. It is a purely defensive formation.

Seeing this, Li Ergou's eyes lit up. Although he had the Yin-Yang Spirit Gathering Lock Heaven Formation obtained from Willow Tree Gully on his Orange Mountain, that formation was not a purely defensive formation, and its defensive power was limited.

If he had this formation, then he would really be able to sit back and relax.

So, he directly said, "I want this set of formations, is that okay? I wonder if Fellow Daoist can bear to part with it."

Although he didn't know how much this formation was worth, the thin-faced Daoist looked pained. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, this formation is not very useful to me, so I'll give it to you.

But I must tell you that this formation is incomplete. If you want to use it, you must go back and replenish it, and although this thing is good, once it is activated, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. You must prepare more Dao Repository Gold Coins. Don't say I didn't remind you."

Li Ergou smiled bitterly in his heart. No wonder this guy would agree. After all this time, it turned out to be a defective product, but even so, this thing has great value. After going back, he could find someone to repair it.

So, he didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter, I have my own way."

After the two came out, Li Ergou no longer raised the price as agreed, and the great tendon was bought by the thin-faced Daoist for one more gold coin.

At this point, everyone was happy.

The trade fair also ended. The thin-faced Daoist didn't dare to deceive Li Ergou and gave him the great tendon. Li Ergou found a deserted place and immediately started copying it. In less than half an hour, the great tendon was copied.

After returning the great tendon, he couldn't wait to leave the underground market with Bai Su, because he was too excited. He felt that he had earned a lot this time by getting so many things for free.

Not to mention the great tendon, he felt that this defensive formation alone made the trip worthwhile. For this reason, he specially invited Bai Su to have a big meal at the Heavenly Immortal Tower.

While eating, Bai Su couldn't help but ask him what was going on with his divine sense.

Li Ergou just prevaricated and didn't tell her the real reason. He really couldn't say such a thing. After all, there were too many loopholes in fabricating lies. One lie might require a hundred lies to cover it up, so he simply didn't say it, and Bai Su had no choice.

After eating and drinking well, Li Ergou went directly back to Orange Mountain.

After staying on Orange Mountain for a while, he took Gou Jianqiang to Huangfeng Valley. When he arrived at Huangfeng Valley, he ordered the Tree Demon to close the valley entrance and the Five Ghosts to guard the surroundings.

The guys immediately began to act.

Li Ergou came to the place where he usually practiced, took out the coffin, and flew into it.

He looked at the great tendon in his hand with excitement, thinking that he had made a great profit this time. The copied great tendon was not only full of spirituality, but also had no aura from anyone else.

Before Li Ergou could refine this thing, he heard Xue Linglong say, "You can't be so selfish, give me some. With my help, you'll have an extra life. Later, you'll know how good I am."

Hearing Xue Linglong's voice, Li Ergou hesitated slightly, wondering if he should give it some.
