Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

Lin Mu checked it again, and it was indeed 12000.

He scratched his head.

Is the leveling-up experience in this world different from that in the game?

Forget it.

It was getting late, so Lin Mu rested on the spot for the night.

The next morning, he continued walking, but after walking for half an hour, he still hadn't seen a single monster.

Looks like we're almost at the market.

Sure enough, after walking for a short while, the view suddenly opened up before us.

Lin Mu looked up.

A huge ancient tree appeared before us, its trunk so thick that dozens of people couldn't wrap their arms around it, and its canopy blocked out the sky.

The roots of the ancient tree are exposed on the ground, intertwined, forming a natural canopy.

Underneath the shed, various simple shacks and stalls were set up.

Some people were shouting, some were haggling, and some were drinking and chatting.

We've arrived at the tree root market.

Lin Mu did not rush in.

Instead, he looked down at himself: plain clothes, a wooden sword, and covered in dust.

He took out a wet towel, wiped his face, brushed the dust off his body, straightened his clothes, put the wooden sword into his Qiankun bag, and walked into the market empty-handed, looking every bit the part of a master in plain clothes.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the market, I felt all eyes on me.

A person dressed in plain clothes appears alone in the market deep in the Woma Forest.

What's the situation?

Lin Mu remained expressionless and continued walking forward.

Someone muttered quietly, "Commoner? What level is this guy?"

The person next to him lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, but someone who dares to come here alone while wearing plain clothes must be someone special."

"Could it be a master?"

"Possibly. Look at how calm and composed he is; not everyone can fake that."

Lin Mu heard this and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is exactly the effect I wanted.

The market is small; you can walk around it in the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Lin Mu first strolled around and looked at what others were selling.

At the pharmacy stall, both medium-sized wound medicine and medium-sized magic medicine were priced at 8 silver coins per bottle.

It costs 2 silver coins more than Bibiqi, but this is Woma Forest, so it's normal for it to be more expensive.

The equipment stalls were filled with a dazzling array of weapons and armor, but none of them were cheap.

Lin Mu understood.

He found an empty spot and started taking things out of his storage bag.

First, place that piece of light armor on the ground.

【轻型盔甲（女）：防御3-3，魔御1-2，魔法0-2，需要等级11】

Price: 2 gold coin.

Then place that top-quality iron sword on the table.

Iron Sword: Attack 5-11, requires level 11

Price: 1 gold coin.

Then there were some junk items: a large bracelet, a silver bracelet, a bronze sword, an iron sword, a yellow crystal necklace...

The prices are not high.

There are also 16 bottles of unused Golden Wound Medicine (medium), priced at 8 silver coins.

As soon as Lin Mu finished setting things up, a group of people swarmed around him.

"A master in plain clothes has set up a stall!"

Let's see what good stuff we have!

"Excuse me, let me see..."

Everyone chattered and craned their necks to peer inside.

Lin Mu remained expressionless, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking completely calm and collected.

Two young female mages squeezed to the front of the crowd.

One held a Sea Soul sword, the other an Ebony Sword, both their eyes gleaming as they stared at the light armor.

The mage with the Sea Soul spoke first: "Brother, this armor... 2 gold coins?"

Lin Mu nodded.

The mage patted his pocket, his face falling: "I only have 1 gold coin... Could you make it cheaper?"

Lin Mu shook his head.

The mage was unwilling to give up, so he squatted there and refused to get up, his eyes fixed on the armor.

The mage next to him with the ebony sword also squatted down, looked at it over and over several times, and then took out the money from his pocket and counted it.

"I...I have 1 gold coin, 62 silver coins, and 34 copper coins..." She looked up, her face slightly flushed. "This is all the money I have. I can't even afford clothes or potions. Could you..."

(Why is the little mage with the low-level ebony sword richer? His is a top-quality ebony sword with magic power of 0-4, while the Sea Soul sword is just a common one with magic power of 1-2.)

Lin Mu glanced at her.

The girl looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, bright eyes, and an expectant expression.

Chapter 25 Head-on Confrontation with the Skeleton Taoist

Just as Lin Mu was about to nod and say "okay," a commotion suddenly broke out outside the crowd.

"Get out of the way!"

"Holy crap, it's a Taoist priest with a skeleton!"

The crowd parted in a flash, making way for them.

A Taoist priest wearing a soul battle suit walked in.

It could also be a more advanced ghost suit; in any case, they look similar, and Lin Mu couldn't tell the difference.

Behind the Taoist priest was a young woman carrying an ebony sword. She was quite pretty, but had an arrogant expression.

The most striking thing was that the Taoist priest was accompanied by a skeleton.

The skeleton, white as jade, carried a small axe and made a clattering sound as it walked. However, the little skeleton walked quite fast, clearly a high-level skeleton that had leveled up.

Everyone fell silent, as if trembling with fear.

The Taoist priest walked up to the stall, picked up the light armor, and examined it.

The woman behind him also came closer, touching the armor and saying coquettishly, "Brother, I want this..."

The Taoist priest ignored her.

He put down his armor, raised his head, and stared at Lin Mu.

Lin Mu also looked at him.

The two looked at each other.

The Taoist priest scrutinized Lin Mu from head to toe.

Lin Mu remained expressionless, without even blinking.

The surrounding crowd held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Lin Mu frowned slightly.

He realized that the Taoist priest was testing him.

To test his level, strength, and background.

Lin Mu was speechless.

A worthless Taoist priest with a skeleton on his back, who doesn't even have a divine beast, what's he trying to prove by acting all high and mighty?

Lin Mu's face showed impatience.

"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't delay my business."

Those around gasped in shock.

This person... dares to give a Taoist priest a hard time?

Don't you die?

The Taoist priest was also taken aback for a moment.

He stared at Lin Mu for three seconds, then suddenly smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"It was my poor eyesight that prevented me from recognizing a truly great person in front of me."

After saying that, he took out two gold coins from his pocket and placed them on the stall.

"I'll buy this armor."
