The shop door was open, and the inside looked a bit dim.
As soon as Lu Feng walked in, he sensed a special energy fluctuation.
In an instant, a series of light clusters dropped out:
[Picked up a white item [Worn-out Bracelet] fragment *1 (1/10)]
[Picked up a white item [Worn-out Storage Soul Tool] fragment *1 (1/10)]
[Picked up a gray item [Worn-out Helmet] fragment *1 (1/10)]
"Holy crap! Gray quality!"
Lu Feng looked at a helmet hanging on the front wall and exclaimed inwardly.
The helmet was quite old, its color was dull, and there were many scratches on its surface. It looked like an antique from some dynasty.
Lu Feng had originally thought that white was the lowest quality for items.
He never expected...
Looking at Flender, who was lying on a recliner behind the counter with his eyes closed in rest, Lu Feng couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Scammer!"
Lu Feng carefully walked past the helmet, afraid of breaking it.
Walking to the innermost shelf, Lu Feng's gaze fell on a crystal the size of a basketball.
This crystal did not look conspicuous. It was transparent, but there were large patches of dark yellow impurities inside.
But if one looked closely, one could see a faint golden light within, and the impurities were extremely regular, like human hair.
"Boss, how much for this crystal?" Lu Feng shouted towards the entrance.
"Not expensive, two hundred Gold Soul Coins," a lazy, slightly magnetic, hoarse voice sounded.
Lu Feng did not speak. He took out two money pouches from his soul tool and threw them on the counter.
Flender didn't even open his eyes. "Your money is not enough. I want to sell it for five hundred Gold Soul Coins now."
Damn it, scammer! Lu Feng cursed inwardly.
He looked at Flender and said with a blank expression, "Boss Flender, are you sure you won't change the price again?"
Flender opened his eyes and said lazily, "You actually know me? Alright then, one thousand Gold Soul Coins, no more. Pay up and you can take it, otherwise, please leave."
Hearing this, Lu Feng took a deep breath.
From two hundred to five hundred, and then to a thousand. If he couldn't beat the other party, Lu Feng would have already started cursing.
Although Flender looked lazy, Lu Feng could feel an unfathomably deep aura from him.
A Soul Saint powerhouse, truly terrifying.
"Phew~" Lu Feng slowly exhaled.
Lu Feng could afford one thousand Gold Soul Coins. But it had always been him scamming others, never the other way around.
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he said with a faint smile, "Dean Flender, do you still remember Liu Erlong from by the Heaven Dou Lake?"
"Bang."
Hearing this, Flender scrambled to get up but accidentally fell from his recliner.
The teacup on the counter rolled off and happened to smash on his head.
Miraculously, the tea did not wet Flender's hair. It was as if it had met a barrier, flowing down around his body to the ground and then instantly evaporating.
"You kid, you know Sister Erlong?" Flender adjusted his glasses and asked with confusion.
Lu Feng cupped his hands at him and said, "My name is Tang Si. I studied at Blue Tyrant Academy for a period of time. When I was at the academy, I often heard Dean Liu mention you."
As he spoke, Lu Feng took out a round metal badge from his soul tool.
The surface of the badge was dark gold, and a blue transparent crystal was inlaid on the front. Through the crystal, one could see the head of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon carved on the metal surface.
This badge was naturally real.
Back when Ai Xi's team was moving, Lu Feng had also gone to help. Ai Xi had originally planned to throw this badge away; after all, as soon as she saw it, she would be reminded of the days when she was backstabbed by her classmates.
However, Lu Feng had picked it back up. When you're away from home, you make your own identity.
Flender glanced at the badge. Although he couldn't tell if it was real or fake, with his eye, he could tell that this thing was worth several Gold Soul Coins.
"Wait, how does Sister Erlong know I'm in Suotuo City?" A glint flashed in Flender's eyes as he questioned.
"You're not just making up a reason to get out of paying a thousand Gold Soul Coins, are you?"
Lu Feng explained unhurriedly, "Our academy held a friendly match with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The Royal Academy's team leader was a teacher named Qin Ming. It was during that match that I heard the name of Shrek Academy."
As he spoke, Lu Feng straightened his posture and said with a hint of excitement, "Before I met Teacher Qin, I would have never believed that an ordinary intermediate academy could be hiding two hidden geniuses like Dean Flender and Dean Zhao!"
"Hahaha, so it's that kid Qin Ming! Not bad, not bad, he actually managed to become a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy," hearing this, Flender burst out laughing.
Flender waved his hand and said straightforwardly, "Since you are Sister Erlong's student, I'll give you this crystal."
"Oh my, how embarrassing!"
As he spoke, Lu Feng put the crystal into his soul tool, and then, without leaving a trace, he took back the two money pouches from the counter.
"Hmph, you little sly fox."
Flender snorted lightly, then righted his recliner.
"Dean Flender, how much for this treasure map?" At this moment, Lu Feng picked up a somewhat worn-out sheepskin scroll and asked.
The sheepskin scroll felt a bit rough to the touch. Upon closer inspection, some wool was still exposed at its corners. It was obvious that this thing was quite old.
On the front of the sheepskin scroll was a simple map. A few strokes outlined the contours of mountains, rivers, and trees, and in the corner of the map, a lifelike dragon head pattern was marked.
Flender waved his hand. "If you like it, just take it. You can go now, don't disturb my sleep."
He lay back down on his recliner. "Oh right, help me get another one from the drawer."
After speaking, Flender closed his eyes again.
Lu Feng walked to the counter, opened the drawer, and saw several identical treasure maps lying quietly inside.
Lu Feng walked quickly down the street, randomly found a hotel, checked in, and then eagerly entered his room.
He lay on the bed and took out the drawing to read it carefully. At the same time, several conspicuous clusters of light dropped out.
[Picked up a yellow item [Dragon King's Treasure Map - Fragmented Scroll] fragment *1 (2/10)]
[Picked up a yellow item [Dragon King's Treasure Map - Fragmented Scroll] fragment *1 (3/10)]
[Yellow item: Dragon King's Treasure Map - Fragmented Scroll (10/10) (Synthesizable)]
The quality of the treasure map itself was not high, but the fact that it could be synthesized by the golden finger meant that this thing was the real deal.
With a thought, a map slowly appeared in Lu Feng's mind.
Continuous high mountains, surrounded by a thick fog. Jungle streams, a valley altar.
Four stone pillars stood around the altar, and the braziers on top were burning fiercely. On the high platform in the middle, a group of strangely dressed people were gathered, seemingly performing some kind of ritual.
Lu Feng tried hard to see the scene in the middle of the altar but found that it was shrouded in a thick fog. Gradually, the entire valley turned into points of light and disappeared.
"Phew~"
Lu Feng took a deep breath and rubbed his somewhat groggy head.
He hadn't expected that just by examining a treasure map, he would consume more than half of his spiritual power.
"A fine treasure! Who knows, maybe there's a god-level soul bone hidden here. At the very least, a Dragon King's inheritance would be nice!"
Lu Feng put away the treasure map, then drew the curtains and lay down on the bed to rest.
At the Soul Grandmaster stage, sleeping was much faster for recovering spiritual power than sitting in meditation.
