"Very good, very good!"
Fang Xi picked up the helmet.
The helmet was a silver-white color, presenting a full-coverage structure.
Even on the face mask, at the eye sockets, there were two crystal-clear lenses.
"This face mask has cost me quite a bit of effort. The two lenses at the eye sockets are made from the toughest snake scales, crafted into the appropriate shape, and then tempered with a secret method to make them transparent without affecting visibility..."
Master Lu said, "This can meet the customer's requirements, fully covering the entire body without any blind spots! Just be aware... even so, the eye socket area is still a weaker point compared to other armors."
"Very good, very good, I am very satisfied."
After carefully inspecting the full set of armor, Fang Xi nodded, "Thank you, Master Lu, here are the remaining spirit stones!"
He had already sealed a bag of a hundred spirit stones, which he now took out and handed to Master Lu.
However, Master Lu did not accept it. Instead, he touched a ring on his hand, poured out a pile of spirit stones on the table, totaling at least four to five hundred pieces.
"What does friend mean by this?"
Fang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"To be honest, I truly admire this snake material, I wonder if friend still has any left on you? I am willing to pay a high price to purchase it."
Master Lu said with a smile.
"Ah... this snake material, has long been..." Fang Xi sighed, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Master Lu, "Friend, there's no need to say that this is all the snake material you have. I have some insights, with such a huge snake body, the material should be more than this..."
"Friend, you haven't heard me finish. Although this snake was huge, it was also killed by several friends working together, so the material was naturally divided into several parts. I truly have none left on me."
Fang Xi shrugged.
"Is what friend said true?" Master Lu stared straight at Fang Xi, exuding a powerful aura of the later stage of Qi Refinement.
"Of course it's true! And... could it be that your shop wants to resort to strong-arm tactics?"
Fang Xi sneered a few times, appearing very indifferent.
"In that case, I have been impolite." Master Lu shook his head regretfully.
"Please rest assured, I will go find those few good friends for Master to inquire..."
Fang Xi clasped his fists, answering without hesitation, then left the Heavenly Workshop after leaving the spirit stones and taking the 'Spirit Snake Armor'.
"Indeed... strength is the foundation of everything."
"If he hadn't sensed that my strength was far beyond the mid-stage of Qi Refinement just now, I don't know what means he would have used..."
He glanced back at the Heavenly Workshop, sneered, and returned to his cave with the goods he had purchased over the past few days, heading to Daliang directly.
Keep your wealth hidden!
Even though he could withstand Master Lu's pressure, it was probably not just the surface of the fifth layer, but a Qi Refinement later stage cultivator. But so what?
During these days, his actions and purchases of resources had already exceeded a thousand spirit stones.
Add to that the snake and dragon materials that Master Lu coveted!
Unless it was Foundation Establishment, otherwise, there was already a way to die!
And Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't hide like this.
"My Xuantie Sword hasn't tasted blood in a long time..."
Fang Xi muttered to himself, wearing the complete Spirit Snake Armor, holding the helmet in his hand, and wearing a robe over it.
After inspecting the Spirit Snake Armor several times, he found no issues.
Presumably, Master Lu was also afraid that he would cause trouble in the market and ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Workshop.
"All means will only be used after leaving the market, right?"
"Although I am confident in my body techniques, I may not be able to shake off all the scouts of various forces..."
"Of course, it's more likely that there are tricks in the auction items!"
Therefore, Fang Xi directly threw a large amount of goods into the Daliang world, and then waited to return to Taohua Island to retrieve them.
This kind of disappearing technique was enough to render most tracking techniques ineffective.
After all, techniques like the Three-Day Incense mostly had time and distance limitations.
Once the distance was too far, or the time was too long, the probability of losing effectiveness was high!
As for this Spirit Snake Armor, its defense was too good for Fang Xi to not wear it.
Moreover, without any bait, how could he fish?
The next day.
Fang Xi, transformed into a burly man with a square face, calmly walked out of the market.
Behind him, several small rats had been following him for a long time.
"I didn't expect the Xue family to be here!"
"Not only the Xue family, but also the Lu family!"
"This person has some means, our tricks hidden in the goods might have been exposed..."
"Fortunately, we have been sent to monitor day and night, otherwise, it is indeed possible for this person to escape..."
"After all, goods worth over a thousand spirit stones, even a Qi Refinement later stage cultivator may not be able to keep them!"
A group of rats looked at each other, secretly passing on the message, then quickly reported back to their main house.
Fang Xi seemed to be unaware of all this, after walking out of Baochuan Island, he put on the helmet of the Spirit Snake Armor, pulling down the mask.
Swish!
His eyes were also covered with two transparent snake scales, exuding the cold and ruthless aura of a snake.
And after he left, figures followed one after another.
Although they concealed their identities and covered their figures, they all exuded the powerful aura of the later stage of Qi Refinement!
"I didn't expect, Lu... hehe!"
An old woman leaning on a cane chuckled twice, then suddenly stopped.
"That kid is wearing a Spirit Snake Armor, it's hard to break through, it's best to use heavy weapons to shake the defense... or needle-type weapons to pierce through... the Spirit Armor leans towards water attributes, so wood and earth spells are most effective."
A cultivator transformed into Master Lu, thin as a bamboo pole, with his face covered, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Isn't there a back door? Since that person is worth a lot, he is at least a Qi Refinement later stage cultivator, or even possibly a Qi Refinement completion cultivator."
Another old man spoke up.
"With a contract in place, it's not easy to make a move... besides, the other party is not a fool."
If they found a problem with the Spirit Armor, they would definitely take the contract and spread the word in the market, and then the Heavenly Workshop would have to close down.
Although Master Lu was unwilling to let go of a large sum of money, he wouldn't ruin his own reputation.
After all, with his skills and the Heavenly Workshop, he could slowly earn a thousand spirit stones, it would just take a bit longer...
"Hehe, now that everyone is here, let's discuss how to divide it, so as not to be suspicious of each other later, and let the fat sheep run away, that would be a joke!"
A female cultivator spoke coquettishly.
"Of course, we should first cook the duck before discussing how to divide it. I don't want anything, I just want the snake materials on him!"
Master Lu's voice was hoarse, quickly making arrangements.
Several Qi Refinement later stage experts boarded a spirit boat, following Fang Xi from a distance. In the blink of an eye, they flew out dozens of miles.
Fang Xi didn't say much, he directly found a desolate island, slowly landed, and took out the Xuantie Sword.
Soon, a spirit boat appeared, and five Qi Refinement later stage cultivators descended from it, all with their faces covered. An old lady chuckled, "Is this the burial place you chose?"
Crafty old foxes!
Although they were full of confidence, they were also secretly observing the desolate island, confirming that there were no ambushes or formations!
"Burying place? Although this island is not big, it's enough to bury you all!"
Fang Xi held the sword in both hands, his robe torn, revealing the entire bright silver 'Spirit Snake Armor'!
Hum!
In the next moment, a crimson true energy cloak appeared outside the Spirit Snake Armor!
The Xuantie Sword hummed and roared, emitting a three-inch sword aura!
"Kill!"
Fang Xi shouted, kicking his hind legs, rushing out like a humanoid beast!
The essence of martial arts was to strike swiftly!
He deliberately chose the land as his advantageous terrain!
His goal was to use his grandmaster-level body techniques to deliver a fatal blow!
With Qi circulating all over his body, Fang Xi's body expanded, every inch tightly adhering to the Spirit Snake Armor.
This Spirit Armor had a flexible function, fitting perfectly, making Fang Xi seem like a straight line, arriving above the old lady's head. He raised the sword high with both hands and fiercely smashed down!
Bang!
With a sword strike, the protective light around the old lady shattered first, followed by a black iron shield.
"No!"
She raised her cane high to block above her head, but couldn't withstand the overwhelming blow like Mount Tai pressing down!
Bang!
After a loud explosion, where the old lady had stood, there was only a deep pit, from which flew a metal cane that had already bent and deformed beyond recognition.
"Sharp attack!"
Master Lu angrily shouted, flying three interlocking shields from his body, firmly protecting himself. But looking at the figure wielding the black iron sword for slaughter, he surprisingly felt no sense of security!
Bang!
Boom!
As Fang Xi attacked the old lady, the other four did not stand idle. A thunder light, a flying sword, a wooden spear, and a huge black iron hammer all instantly hit Fang Xi!
His true energy cloak flickered consecutively, but emitted a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden, finally shattering.
After all, he was being besieged by four Qi Refinement later stage experts!
In the next moment, various weakened attacks landed on the Spirit Snake Armor, only to be weakened by half.
The remaining slight shock and impact, with the steel-like bones and muscles of a grandmaster, were easily endured by Fang Xi.
"Who's next?"
He alternated holding the sword in both hands, turning from facing the four people with his back to facing them head-on, his pupils bursting with brilliance.
"Damn, he's a triple body refinement cultivator!"
The voice of the coquettish female cultivator was anxious, and she successively flew out several red needle-like flying needles!
Each of these flying needles was actually a set of high-grade magical weapons!
Ding ding!
Fang Xi moved like lightning, his actions extremely swift.
With the eruption of close-range combat, no matter what magical weapon or talisman... they couldn't catch up with his pace.
As for chanting spells... it was even more ridiculous in actual combat.
He charged towards the female cultivator who was speaking, suddenly disappearing like a shadow, using the Shrinking Bone Technique to hide completely behind the Xuantie Sword, which was like a door panel.
Ping pong!
A set of flying needles continuously stabbed the surface of the Xuantie Sword, sparking dazzling sparks.
Before the female cultivator could react, Fang Xi had already appeared in front of her, and with a punch, he roared, "Primordial Chaos!"
The powerful true energy instantly tore through her protective light, her veil fell off, revealing the pitiful and delicate face of the female cultivator, "You can't kill me, I am..."
Bang!
Before she could finish her sentence, her beautiful head exploded, and her headless body fell to the ground.
"Now... only three left."
Between his swift movements, Fang Xi had already killed two Qi Refinement later stage cultivators.
He turned around, looking at the three Qi Refinement later stage cultivators who had just repeatedly used talismans and magical weapons to attack him, revealing a cold smile.
