Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 220: 220?The Purple Golden Gourd

To Lu Shu, it was not a good thing to have many magical stones in possession. Back in the shophouse, even though he had reached a consensus with the shopowner, he only dared to sell one.

There were many factors he had to consider. Firstly, a shopowner might not have that much cash. Also, Lu Shu didn’t dare to reveal so many of his magical stones to an unfamiliar shopowner he barely knew.

But this Li Dian in front of him seemed different. He was someone left out by the heavenly network. Naturally, he feared and was suppressed by Lu Shu’s identity as a member of the heavenly network. To put it bluntly, one was a soldier and the other a fugitive.

And the other party had been training on his own in secret. Even if he manages to find a magical stone, he’d have to use it in secret. He, of course, wasn’t from any prestigious or large household or he would have easily gotten the money to purchase magical stones, why trade?”

Li Dian spoke softly, “At least 5 stones or else I wouldn’t trade. Do you have so many?”

Lu Shu was stunned, he was still worried about having not enough magical stones previously. But the other party, surprisingly, wasn’t asking for much. Actually, he was just asking to see what magical item the other party had in possession but listening to this offer… Lu Shu felt as if he could do a trade.

It had to be known that magical equipment was much rarer than magical stones. At least, magical stones had a fixed source. Many members of the heavenly network had access to them. 90 to 100 thousand of them were distributed every year and it was no surprise that tens or even hundreds of stones would be leaked out.

But magical equipment was different. Up till now, they were only sighted in remains.

Speaking of which, how did this Li Dian possess a magical item? Could it be an ancestral item?

It was very possible!

Who knew how many of these items were passed on from ancestors in this world? He should go out and shop around in Luo Cheng more, and he might be lucky and encounter something with magical waves.

Lu Shu remained expressionless, “Don’t care about how many stones I have. I want to see what you have first.”

He had his suspicions, but this guy didn’t seem like he didn’t understand the value of magical equipment. But his asking price was really rather low, five magical stones amounted to just approximately 600 thousand dollars.

Could it be that there were problems with this magical equipment? Wouldn’t it be a massive waste of time if he was shown another colorful and light-emitting item after spending so much time here?

Who knew who started this trend within this night market, thinking that everything that’s colorful and luminescent was the real deal…

Li Dian hesitated for a long time before saying, “This place isn’t convenient to talk. Follow me.”

Lu Shu didn’t see him as a threat or worried at all. After all, if that guy had bodyguards of class C, he wouldn’t be here to set up such a lousy stall. As for anything below class C, Lu Shu didn’t feel like they could be of any real threat to him.

The two of them winded deep in the market until they reached a corner. Li Dian stealthily retrieved a small cloth purse about the size of a palm. Lu Shu pondered for a moment, he couldn’t feel any magical waves from it at all.

But as the man opened the purse, Lu Shu saw that within this purse, there were weird gold stitchings and from the moment the purse was opened, he could feel abnormal magical waves!

This cloth purse could actually isolate and conceal magical waves?!

Within the purse was a small purple gourd. Lu Shu couldn’t tell the material it was made of, it was neither gold nor wood.

Although he couldn’t tell its material, he could feel the very real magical waves. Lu Shu knitted his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the use of this thing?”

“This is my family heirloom passed down by ancestors,” Li Dian feared Lu Shu’s identity as he really detested the heavenly network. He never thought that he would bump into one today. Didn’t they say that the heavenly network would leave this black market alone? Was there a lapse in communication?

Li Dian continued his introduction, “Since the dawn of the era of recovery of magical energy, my training speed was too slow for me to understand and investigate the use of this relic. But whenever I use magical energy to control it, I just have to shout someone’s name and it’ll have a big reaction and my magical energy will be depleted… Have you seen the journey to the west?”

He had just been asked about the Investiture of the Gods, now this guy was asking about the journey to the west. Lu Shu’s face turned dark, “Are you trying to say that this gourd belongs to the golden-horned king in the journey to the west? My word mister, you don’t look like him at all…”

Lu Shu never read journey to the west, but from the television series, he knew that Li Dian definitely wasn’t related to the golden-horned king! He looked nothing like him.

Wait, but who was the Golden horned king’s boss? Was it Laozi, Li Er?!

Damn, it can’t be such a coincidence…

In actual fact, the journey to the west touched on many moral aspects of training. The golden horned king’s descent to humanity expressed the materialistic and monetary aspect.

Alright, this was all Lu Shu’s own inference.

Of course, Lu Shu would never believe that this thing was the actual purple golden gourd. And he was clear that Li Dian knew this was not the fabled item as well. How could it be worth only 3 magical stones if it was real?

He didn’t seem gullible and dumb either!

Li Dian said softly, “Then how do you explain that there’s a reaction when I shout someone’s name?”

Lu Shu thought for a moment, “You try it for me.”

Li Dian then bellowed softly to this purple gourd, “Yue Yunpeng!”

Lu Shu, “???”

And at this moment, the purple gourd lit up with a bright purple light.

Lu Shu could feel the magical energy from Li Dian’s body being sucked into the purple gourd and following that, it emerged out of the gourd as a stream of energy towards the sky.

But the energy could only last it about 5 meters.

Seeing Li Dian’s face turn rather pale, Lu Shu was stunned. This really was something special!

If Yue Yuenpeng was really within 5 meters, could he be sucked into the gourd?

Wasn’t the consent of the other party necessary for him to be sucked in?

Lu Shu felt a burning sensation within him, wow, this really was a treasure?!

Li Dian said slowly, “So?”

Lu Shu thought for a long time, “Can you let me try?”

“I want to see if you have magical stones first!” Li Dian responded.

Lu Shu took out a magical stone and showed it to him before keeping it. Li Dian’s eyes lit up upon seeing it and he passed the purple gourd to Lu Shu. Lu Shu took the gourd and shouted, “Yu Qian!”

Li Dian, “??? What did you learn from me?”

“From Li Dian’s distress, +33…”
