On the way to the fox clan, she passed by a market and went straight in...
She originally intended to casually pick up a few magic robes, but her gaze settled on a dress made of mermaid silk!
As thin as a cicada's wing, light and charming, it seemed to refract light under the white fluorescence. It had a built-in corset, making it sexy yet modest! The sleeves were long and form-fitting, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind... There were no extra decorations, and a faint spiritual energy emanated from it, clearly telling everyone that this was a magic robe with excellent defensive and aesthetic properties!
Shopping and admiring beauty were in women's nature, but Jin Bao'er had never been interested. This time, however, her eyes flashed! It seemed not bad?!
"I'll take this one!"
The shopkeeper wasn't particularly pleased when a handsome man walked in, as men generally weren't too concerned about their appearance when choosing clothes, and their spending wouldn't be high!
Who would have thought this person would immediately ask for the Mermaid Silk Flowing Firefly Dress! This was a big sale!
"You have excellent taste, sir! This dress is called the Mermaid Silk Flowing Firefly, it's impervious to water and fire, its defensive properties are absolutely high-grade, and it can withstand a strike from a Heavenly Dao King when necessary. You won't regret buying it! As for the price... hehe..."
Jin Bao'er frowned at the sound. Was it expensive? She had fed many spirit crystals to Fen Bei before, and there wasn't much left, only some beast cores and high-grade spirit crystals...
The boss was afraid the other party wouldn't buy it! After all, this item had been hanging here for over a decade with no buyers. He would be heartbroken to lower the price himself. It was made of mermaid silk, a treasure that hundreds of mermaids took decades to create, precious and practical, but its price deterred even the scions of the Seven Great Families!
This young master... didn't look very wealthy!
He was a bit disappointed! But he still spoke.
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals, or ten thousand Heavenly Dao Saint beast cores..."
After saying that, he felt even more helpless. Why did the owner set such a price? Ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals? Even a spirit crystal mine might not yield so much! Not to mention ten thousand Heavenly Dao Saint beast cores...
Those were Heavenly Dao Saints! And ten thousand of them... Even the demonic beasts themselves probably couldn't produce them!
Jin Bao'er narrowed her eyes slightly, calculating whether her current fortune was enough...
Boss: As expected, it's too expensive!
"If you really like it, I have more..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hand reached out, holding a gray cloth bag. The shopkeeper was a little speechless at first. Ten thousand spirit crystals and beast cores, was this amount too small?
But that wasn't the point! The next second, he was stunned!!
Because from that small, dusty gray bag emanated an intense and powerful beast aura! Just this fluctuation alone could inspire fear, meaning the beast cores inside were at least from Heavenly Dao Saints...
He didn't take the bag, swallowed, and said.
"Young master, even if they were Heavenly Dao King beast cores, your bag probably only has a dozen or so? In terms of quantity, it's still not enough!"
Jin Bao'er frowned slightly.
"Not Heavenly Dao Kings!"
Boss: You're kidding! It couldn't be Heavenly Dao Emperors, could it? Do you think I went out without my brain today?!
Jin Bao'er was too lazy to explain. She directly opened the bag and poured out the more than ten Heavenly Dao Emperor beast cores inside...
"Clatter..."
More than ten Heavenly Dao Emperor beast cores of different attributes were casually thrown onto the wooden table like stones...
Instantly!
A strong spiritual energy surged, and the power fluctuations of Heavenly Dao Emperors arrived with a roar! Wild and arrogant! Making people feel as if they could see the ferocity and might of these beings when they were alive.
Bystanders at the shop entrance and on the street all looked over at that moment, their eyes filled with shock and unease...
"This... what kind of power is this? Is it a demonic beast?" a cautious voice asked!
"Holy crap... high-level demonic beasts! Where are they? How could they appear here!" someone exclaimed in terror!
"It... it seems to be coming from the clothing shop..."
"No, judging by the attribute fluctuations, are there... too many of them?" someone doubted!
"Yeah, yeah, in broad daylight, where did so many high-level demonic beasts come from! It's an illusion, it must be an illusion! I must have gone mad from cultivation!"
"Haha, right, right, brother, you're spot on! It must be my too diligent cultivation that drove me mad!"
...
And the boss, looking at those more than ten Heavenly Dao Emperor beast cores: "..." I need some peace!
Seeing that he was motionless, Jin Bao'er finally became impatient!
"That's all! Is it enough? If it's still not enough..."
I have more...
Before she could finish speaking, the boss seemed to awaken as if from a dream. He quickly stuffed the beast cores back into the cloth bag, only then realizing that the spiritual energy had faded significantly. He looked at the tattered gray bag in his hand with surprise...
Alright! It's also a magic artifact?!
At this moment, he no longer dared to think that the handsome youth in front of him was poor! Poor? Heh heh! He wished he could be so poor!
Seeing his smooth and flowing actions, Jin Bao'er realized that the other party seemed to have been shocked...
Forgive her for not spending much all along, she was completely unfamiliar with market prices. When she refined pills to heal the Beast King Kuangzhao before, she seemed to have quite a few beast cores left...
She suddenly felt that the spirit crystals she gave to Fen Bei were nothing. Look, beast cores were even more valuable!
A moment later, the boss, with a face full of wrinkles and a smile, eagerly packed the clothes for Jin Bao'er, then gifted her a large pile of similar dresses in various simple and elegant styles and colors...
Jin Bao'er did not refuse! After all, the boss himself still had a surprised smile on his face; she must have gotten the better deal... But looking at a few red gauze dresses among them, she frowned! In the end, she said nothing...
After she left, the shop owner immediately closed the shop! Clutching the beast cores, he rushed to another location!
In the past few decades when the Seven Great Families and sects were in decline, many industries rose, and some even opened up markets with the merfolk and mermaids in the sea!
Jin Bao'er was unaware of all this. At this moment, after changing into ordinary clothes, she headed for the fox clan... Following the remembered location, she arrived at the barrier at the empty space that was once the entrance to the fox clan.
At the same time, that faint yet familiar power fluctuation also attracted the attention of many demonic beasts. In the lion clan's territory, a huge, imposing, cold, and fierce black lion suddenly opened its eyes. Its powerful aura shifted slightly, instantly awakening all the demonic beasts within a one-kilometer radius!
Only after the black figure disappeared into the cave did the smaller demonic beasts return home, sighing inwardly! The Beast King seemed even stronger.
Jin Bao'er took two steps forward and stopped, because she and Hu Qi had no contract. To enter the fox clan, she would have to break the barrier... but this would be tantamount to declaring war on the fox clan.
The next second, a giant black figure appeared not far behind her. The moment the figure stopped, a fierce wind followed closely, accompanied by an intense and ferocious aura that inspired fear!
Jin Bao'er's expression turned cold. Her body remained still, but her power moved first...
Instantly, hundreds of ice shards condensed and flew towards the vital points of the figure, the biting cold Great Dao power was potent and filled with chilling intent!
"Wait!"
