Chapter 29 - 27: Take Me as Your Master, I’ll Lead You to the Absolute Peak!
At the street stall, an ancient, lacquered black ring caught his attention.
This ring was truly ordinary, so common that no one would pick it up even if dropped on the ground.
However, it was such a ring that moved Ye Chen, letting him sense a trace of the extraordinary.
His eyes suddenly shone with a profound light, and after silently gazing at it for a good while, he shook his head.
Devoid of the Supreme Power he had in his past life, it was simply impossible for him to discern the true secret hidden within the black ancient ring; he could only rely on his Supreme Intuition.
The fervent look in his eyes disappeared in an instant, well concealed. Ye Chen reached out and grabbed a dagger gleaming with a cold light next to the ring, and said to the skinny stall owner, "How much for this dagger?"
The stall owner was a little old man who looked quite honest, but his eyes sparkled with shrewdness, clearly as astute as the previous fat stall owner. Seeing Ye Chen pick up the dagger so casually, he rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Young man, I must say your eyes are really sharp, to immediately notice the truly good stuff."
"Actually, to be honest, this dagger is the best treasure I have. Don’t be fooled by its small appearance; it’s actually a blade that can slice through iron as if it were mud, a rare item in the world. What’s more, it has an extraordinary origin, once wielded by a powerful Innate Strong Person, of exceptional value. But since you, young man, have taken a liking to it, I’ll reluctantly give you a discount, and ask for only one thousand Gold Coins."
The people around immediately gasped in astonishment. What kind of Heavenly Weapon was this? It was clearly just a very ordinary dagger, maybe just a bit sharper, but asking for one thousand Gold Coins was simply highway robbery.
It was clear that the stall’s owner saw Ye Chen’s youth and wanted to scam him. What a greedy heart.
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Although it’s a blade that can slice through iron like mud, it’s still way too expensive, asking for one thousand Gold Coins."
