Chapter 4061 Dragon Armor

Seeing that the merchants from the Pierced Chest Kingdom had fallen for his trap, the slovenly Taoist continued his performance. He sneered disdainfully, "Brother, when I bought this from that mysterious master, it was worth ten thousand taels of green stone shells. You only offered me one thousand taels. You're underestimating this treasure. Forget it, forget it. I can tell you don't know its value. There's no point in saying more. Goodbye!"

After saying that, the slovenly Taoist priest put away the lighter and turned to leave.

At this moment, the bearded man quickly stepped forward and blocked the path of the slovenly Taoist priest.

The disheveled Taoist priest deliberately feigned a terrified look: "No...you're not going to steal my treasure, are you? Let me tell you, those people over there are all my men."

As he spoke, the disheveled Taoist priest pointed in our direction.

"Brother, you've misunderstood. Don't rush off. Let's have a good chat. That treasure you have is indeed a good thing. Don't you want to see our treasure?" The bearded man's face was full of smiles.

"No matter how good your things are, can they be more precious than my Fire Soul Machine that can start a fire at any time? I don't believe it!" The slovenly Taoist rolled his eyes.

This kid is such a good actor. I really want to beat him up when I see him trying to fool me.

At this moment, I heard Master Zhiqing whisper to Li Chao, "Chao'er, you're too straightforward. In the future, you should associate less with this little Taoist priest Luo. He'll sell you out, and you'll still be counting the money for him."

Li Chao was also dumbfounded. He nodded and said, "Master, this kid is really good at fooling people."

The bearded man chuckled and said, "While our treasures may not be as precious as your Fire Soul Machine, some are still priceless. Brother, you may take a look."

"Alright then, I'll go over and see for myself. Don't waste my time." The slovenly Taoist priest feigned impatience and walked back.

At this moment, the other two people had already untied the ropes from the wheelbarrow, carried a box down from it, and carefully opened it.

Then, the bearded man took out a very exquisite little box from the trunk and gently opened it again.

Upon opening it, we saw a purple gemstone that looked like a mirror, and it was a single piece, clearly a valuable item.

Upon seeing the large purple gemstone, a glint of light flashed in the slovenly Taoist priest's eyes, which vanished instantly.

"I thought it was something important, but it's just a broken rock. How can it compare to my Fire Soul Machine?" The slovenly Taoist priest looked down on it.

“Brother, you’ve misjudged this. This is called the Shouyang Mountain Purple Mirror. This gemstone was mined from the deepest part of Shouyang Mountain. Its value is immeasurable. Even in the imperial city of Guanxiong Kingdom, there aren’t many like it.” The bearded man introduced it to the slovenly Taoist priest.

"So-so, far inferior to my Fire Soul Machine." Although the slovenly Taoist liked it very much, he still pretended to look down on it.

Then, the bearded man gave a wink to the chubby boy next to him, who immediately took out a small box.

Upon opening the box, I found a garment inside, as thin as a cicada's wing and appearing incredibly silky.

“Brother, take another look at this treasure. This is the Eight Treasures Great Leaf Dragon Armor! It was made from the scales and marrow of the extremely rare Tuo dragon in Guanxiong Kingdom through many complex processes. This armor is impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to swords and spears. It is an excellent treasure for protecting oneself and one’s life. If you don’t believe me, you can set it on fire and see how powerful this Eight Treasures Great Leaf Dragon Armor is!” the bearded man said hurriedly.

"I think it's just so-so..." As he spoke, the slovenly Taoist priest took out a lighter and immediately tried to light the armor. He burned it for a while, but the armor still wouldn't catch fire.

Seeing the disheveled Taoist priest like this, the bearded man laughed loudly: "Don't think that you are just a tiny flame. Even if you were put in a furnace for three days and three nights, you still wouldn't be able to burn this armor."

As he spoke, the bearded man handed the Eight Treasures Large Leaf Dragon Armor to two other people, each holding one side.

Then, he pulled a sharp blade from under the wheelbarrow and slashed at the armor several times.

That dragon armor seemed incredibly resilient; even after several cuts, it didn't leave a single mark.

Seeing this dragon armor, I took a deep breath. This is definitely a treasure, and it's just like my golden talisman armor.

I kept winking at the slovenly Taoist priest, signaling him to stop before he got himself into trouble.

The disheveled Taoist priest seemed not to have seen them, and simply nodded slightly as he looked at the two treasures: "They are indeed somewhat interesting, but they are still a bit inferior to my Fire Soul Machine."

At this moment, the group exchanged glances, and the bearded man continued, "Brother, how about we trade these two treasures for your Fire Soul Machine?"

The slovenly Taoist priest feigned fear and took a step back: "What are you thinking? My Fire Soul Machine can start a fire anytime, anywhere. The fire source is inexhaustible. You think you can exchange these two broken things for my treasure?"

I'm speechless. This broken lighter is going to ruin the other person's life.

"We can only add another thousand taels of green stone shells at most; that's all we have." The bearded man looked pitifully at the disheveled Taoist priest, his eyes filled with longing for a lighter.

"Sigh, it's fate that we met here. Since we've come this far, I'd feel bad if I didn't trade with you. I originally wanted to take this Fire Soul Machine to the capital to sell for a good price. Since you want it so much, I'll trade with you." The slovenly Taoist priest pretended to be very distressed and handed them the lighter.

The group reached out to take the lighter, but the slovenly Taoist priest quickly pulled his hand back.

"Wait... Give me those two things first, and what about the thousand taels of green stone shells?" The slovenly Taoist priest was very cautious.

The group immediately packed the items up and took out another bag, which was bulging and probably contained the green stone shells they had mentioned.

After handing the items to the disheveled Taoist priest, he then handed them the lighter.

The slovenly Taoist priest didn't stand on ceremony. He put the purple gemstone and the dragon armor into the Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch, then opened the pouch, took out a handful of stones, and examined them closely.

At this moment, I also came over and discovered that the green stone shell was actually a top-quality emerald jade. It turned out that the people of this Guanxiong Kingdom used jade as currency for transactions.

The jade pieces are of various sizes and scattered throughout, making the bag quite heavy.

Let alone here, even if we took this bag of top-quality jadeite to our world, it would be of immeasurable value.

Those few people who received the slovenly Taoist priest's lighter were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
