He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Inside the Tianbao Pavilion.

Mo Rou handed the storage bag to Lu Changsheng with a big smile on her face.

"Master, the 180,000 spirit stones are all here! That man was really generous, he didn't even haggle!"

Looking at Mo Rou's smiling face.

Lu Changsheng didn't need to ask to know that this woman had coveted his spirit stones.

However, he couldn't be bothered to ask about such a small amount.

Lu Changsheng took the bag without hesitation.

Then she chuckled and said, "You've had to go through all that trouble."

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the protective charms I promised to buy you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Rou immediately beamed with joy.

"Master, since that's the case, then I'll take the rest of the pills..."

Mo Rou had only finished speaking halfway through her sentence.

Princess Taiping suddenly appeared from behind her.

"Senior, the pills are sold out. One hundred and seven pills, one million and seventy thousand spirit stones. As for what you need, senior..."

Before Princess Taiping could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng cast a glance at her.

Seeing this, Princess Taiping immediately understood and fell silent.

Mo Rou didn't notice that much; she only heard about 1.07 million spirit stones.

"Master, her? Where did she get the pills?!"

Upon hearing Mo Rou's question, Bai Xue turned her head and looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"No need to ask, it was given to me by my senior!"

Even if Mo Rou is incredibly naive, she should have realized what's going on by now.

Therefore, she forced out a few tears.

Then she cried and begged, "Master, how could you do this! You still don't trust me!"

"I've given you my whole heart, how could you treat me like this?!"

"This makes me..."

Hearing Mo Rou crying and wailing here.

Lu Changsheng glanced at her with a stern expression.

The moment their eyes met, Mo Rou immediately shut her mouth and dared not utter another sound.

"Alright, now that the pills have been sold, let's go. We can't go back on our promise to provide you with protective magic items."

After saying that, the three of them slowly walked out of Tianbao Pavilion.

On the west side of the main area of ​​Tianbao Pavilion, there is a shop called "Xuanjiazhai".

Even if you've never been to this place, you can guess its name just by hearing it.

This place specializes in defensive magical artifacts.

Although Xuanjiazhai is not as grand as Tianbaoge, it has an excellent reputation among independent cultivators because of its fair prices.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng went in first.

The shopkeeper was a hunchbacked old man, whose appearance didn't seem particularly frightening.

But since he dared to open a shop selling Buddhist artifacts, he must have some skill.

At this moment, the hunchbacked old man squinted as he sized up the three people in front of him.

His gaze lingered on Mo Rou for a moment longer before settling on Lu Changsheng's wrinkled face.

The hunchbacked old man bowed slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what would you like to see?"

Lu Changsheng returned the greeting.

"I'd like to pick out a protective amulet for each of them; the price is negotiable."

After listening, the hunchbacked old man simply nodded faintly.

"No problem."

The hunchbacked old man seemed to have been prepared, and took out two jade boxes directly from under the counter.

The first one opened, revealing a palm-sized jade pagoda inside.

The entire tower was covered in a faint blue luster and was densely engraved with runes.

"This is the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, based on Primordial Jade, and inlaid with thirty-six 'Thunder Control Array Patterns'. If you use this treasure in a battle, it can trap a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator for a moment. If you are facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can trap and kill them inside. Price: 80,000 spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng couldn't figure it out.

But Lao Tun could see it!

His gaze swept over it only once.

He then started ranting and raving.

"Eighty thousand spirit stones, you really dare to ask for that much!"

"The array patterns inside this thing are mixed and the spiritual energy is impure. At most, it can only withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, which would be quite remarkable."

"Let alone trapping a Golden Core cultivator, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to withstand the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator for three breaths."

"It's just a piece of junk!"

Lu Changsheng remained expressionless after listening.

He simply said in a nonchalant tone, "This thing... is too heavy, let's get another one."

Mo Rou was unaware of the situation.

She became anxious as soon as she heard that Lu Changsheng refused to buy it:

"Sir, this tower is so beautiful! And it can even trap people inside—how amazing!"

"How about we buy this one?"

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly.

"Sure! As long as you pay, I have no objection to you buying whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Mo Rou dared not utter another word.

The hunchbacked old man slowly opened the second box.

The third one...

The fourth one...

There aren't many magical treasures that can satisfy the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

But in the end, I still picked out two items.

One of them is the Azure Scale Heart-Protecting Mirror that Mo Rou has been longing for, priced at 80,000 spirit stones.

Its quality was almost the same as the one that had been damaged before.

The other magical artifact is the Startling Sparrow Ring, which costs 150,000 spirit stones.

This Startled Sparrow Ring is made from the tail feathers of the Startled Sparrow of the Southern Wilderness. Once within a hundred feet, if any hostile force appears, the magic weapon will automatically lock on.

Then it vibrates to warn you, and this thing also has a faint concealment effect, which can confuse cultivators of the same realm from detecting it.

In a way, this is a pretty good self-defense tool.

Lu Changsheng gave this to Bai Xue.

After all, Bai Xue had been busy taking care of her these past few days, so it was only natural to give her some things.

As for Bai Xue, she was also aware of Lu Changsheng's personality.

Therefore, she naturally dared not refuse the gift.

She respectfully accepted the Startled Bird Ring and then put it on her fair wrist.

"Thank you for your kind gift, senior."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand.

There's no need for such polite words.

Now that we've bought everything, let's head back as soon as possible.

Mo Rou did not tell Lu Changsheng about how she had offended Chen Zi'ang.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened on the way back.

Therefore, Mo Rou was even more certain.

That old bastard Chen Zi'ang is just bluffing.

I never expected someone so old to still love to brag like this!

Actually, the three of them didn't move very slowly today.

Despite their haste, it was still dark when they returned to Shangyun Heavenly Palace.

Now that she had the magic weapon, Mo Rou was eager to show it off to her brother Feng.

So whenever she went to a place, she wanted to slip away.

How could Lu Changsheng not see through her little scheme?

"Mo Rou, if you have something to do, you can go now! But Bai Xue, please stay a while."

"I know a little about weapon crafting. If you leave the Startled Sparrow Ring behind, I can improve its quality further."

Princess Taiping always believed Lu Changsheng's words without question.

Therefore, upon hearing Lu Changsheng's suggestion, she agreed almost without hesitation.

He immediately reached out and removed the startled bird ring.

"Okay, thank you very much, senior!"

"It's nothing, no need to thank me. It will probably take two or three days. Just remember to come and collect it from me then."

After saying that, Lu Changsheng directly accepted the Startled Sparrow Ring.

He then turned to look at Mo Rou again and said:

"Weren't you leaving? Why aren't you in a hurry now?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Rou's eyes couldn't help but dart back and forth between Lu Changsheng and Mo Rou.

What the hell? Did that stinky woman sleep with the old man too?

Otherwise, why would I treat her so well?

This old man refines pills as easily as he dries river water, so who can guarantee that he doesn't know some methods of refining artifacts?

Thinking of this, she immediately forced a smile.

Then she leaned closer and whispered, "Master, you can't be biased!"

"Since you're so devoted to her, shouldn't my Azure Scale Heart-Protecting Mirror... also share in your good fortune?"

As she spoke, she held the mirror to her chest and gazed longingly at Lu Changsheng.

Its appearance and expression were just like a cat begging for food.

She was so beautiful and charming that I felt sorry for her.

Lu Changsheng sneered inwardly.

This idiot really thought that magic weapon was so easy to get?

Actually, it's fine if she uses the things she's given to her herself.

To be fair, Lu Changsheng wasn't a stingy person.

The problem is, she will definitely give this magic weapon to her brother Feng.

When the time comes, the two of them will lie together, inseparable.

He even cursed himself, calling himself a stupid old man.

So how could I not be on guard against this bastard?

Just because you don't know how to tamper with magical artifacts doesn't mean Lao Tun doesn't either.

Although he had already made up his mind, Lu Changsheng still feigned a hint of hesitation on his face.

After a moment, he sighed softly, seemingly somewhat helpless, and said:

"Fine, considering you've been quite diligent these days... here you go."

Mo Rou was overjoyed and quickly handed over the Azure Scale Heart-Protecting Mirror.

Lu Changsheng took it without hesitation.

"Alright, you can go and do your own thing now."

"Just remember to come and pick it up when the time comes."

Until Mo Rou was completely gone.

Princess Taiping's complexion finally improved.

She tilted her head slightly to examine Lu Changsheng, then thought to herself:

"Actually, you don't really like this bad woman that much, do you, senior?"

"We have to be wary of her in everything we do!"

After feeling Bai Xue's gaze.

Lu Changsheng slowly turned his head, and their eyes met for a moment.

Bai Xue immediately looked away.

She then took out a blue cloth storage bag from her bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Senior, these are materials obtained from the rogue cultivator Jiang Mingzi. Please take a look."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He took the storage bag and walked slowly toward the room.

Snow White followed closely behind.

Since there were no restrictions on the storage bag.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng scanned the area with his divine sense.

You can easily see what's in the bag.

Fifty pieces of century-old lightning-struck wood, three thousand catties of top-grade cinnabar, ten thousand sheets of Qingyang spirit paper talismans, and twelve jet-black array flags.

These items are all necessities for drawing talismans and setting up formations in the present day.

With everything purchased, Lu Changsheng felt a great sense of relief.

Old Tun is still too weak. Although he is now awake, he still needs to sleep and rest for several hours every day.

Although Lu Changsheng also joked about it.

Even a magical artifact needs to sleep like a human, but despite saying that, he was too embarrassed to disturb Lao Tun's rest unless something extremely important happened.

Therefore, we'll have to wait until Old Tun wakes up to find out the exact origin of these flags.

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to pull his gaze away from the storage bag, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something.

Then I found the small green bottle in the bag.

"Huh? What is this?"

Lu Changsheng flipped his hand and held the bottle in his palm, then looked at Bai Xue with great interest.

Bai Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Jiang Mingzi gave it to me. He didn't say what it does, only that it can make people happy."

Upon hearing this...

Lu Changsheng immediately became interested.

Can it make people happier?

Then I'll have to see what this good stuff is all about.

boom!

The bottle cap was pulled out with a snap.

Out of curiosity, the two subconsciously looked down.

However, at that moment, as the bottle cap was opened, a thick green gas gushed out of the bottle.

This thing was so fast that by the time they reacted, the gas had already entered their noses.

Lu Changsheng was taken aback.

That bastard Jiang Mingzi, did he really resort to dirty tricks?

Because they were afraid that this thing was poisonous.

Lu Changsheng quickly circulated his spiritual power, trying to dispel the medicinal effects.

But to everyone's surprise, after this substance entered the body, it instantly vanished without a trace, and it seemed to have no significant effect on the individual.

But why is my dantian inexplicably hot?

Calm down, Lu Changsheng instantly realized something was wrong.

Damn! This is an aphrodisiac!

Meanwhile, the weaker Bai Xue had already fallen victim to the attack.

As she took off her coat, she moved closer to Lu Changsheng.

"Senior...I'm so hot!"
