Chapter 445 - A Strange Mask
Chapter 445 A Strange Mask
Seeing Qin Chuan appear in front of him, Gu Mengyao was especially shocked.
Didn’t I tell him to go to Yiping? Why is he here for me again?
Fan Zhibao’s two lackeys are always around. What should I do? Gu Mengyao was a little flustered.
Seeing the strange expression on Gu Mengyao’s face, Qin Chuan asked, “Senior Sister Gu, what’s wrong?”
Gu Mengyao came back to her senses and forced a smile. “I’m fine.”
Then, she took a deep breath and revealed a sweet smile. She took a small step back and asked, “Junior Brother, what do you need?”
Qin Chuan shook his head. “Nothing today. I’m just here to greet Senior Sister.
“Senior Sister, get busy. I’ll come and disturb you tomorrow.”
With that, he left decisively.
This confused Gu Mengyao.
At this moment, in the corner of the hall, two pairs of eyes were watching them.
“That fellow left. Let’s catch up to him quickly. Don’t let him escape.”
“But Senior Brother Fan said to keep an eye on Junior Sister Gu.”
“Um… I’ll go then. Stay here and continue monitoring her.”
“Alright, remember not to mess around!”
“I don’t need you to teach me. Just take care of yourself!”
After leaving the Dao Technique Chamber, Qin Chuan had no idea where he was going next!
After all, in the headquarters, the only person who could be considered a friend was Sun Luote, but he had already left with those Demons.
Since I’m unfamiliar with this place, I’ll just walk around!
After reading for such a long time, he was also rather tired. He had to improve his mood and strike a balance between work and rest to be more efficient.
On the way, many disciples rushed over when they heard that there would be good stuff in the night market tonight.
In layman’s terms, this was a flea market.
There was a special area in the sect that was used for transactions between disciples.
Qin Chuan found it interesting and decided to go take a look.
The night market was about a hundred kilometers outside, away from the sect.
For cultivators like them, such a long distance could be covered in minutes.
Qin Chuan followed the crowd and arrived at his destination very smoothly.
The sun had not set yet, but the sky had already begun to darken.
The night market wasn’t as big as he had imagined, but it wasn’t small either.
It was mainly a street that stretched for tens of kilometers.
On both sides of the street were stalls.
By this time, many disciples had already come to set up stalls.
The stalls here were not free. If one wanted to set up a stall, they had to pay a certain amount of rent to the sect.
If the stall was in a prime location, the rent would be even more expensive.
Rent could also be paid for using contribution points or spirit stones.
The night market here was not only limited to the disciples from the headquarters. Disciples from other divisions would also come.
The other divisions also had night markets, but the quality of the items in the headquarters was definitely higher than in those divisions.
Qin Chuan was quite famous in the third division. He could be said to be a famous figure, and many people knew what he looked like.
In order not to be recognized, Qin Chuan searched for something that could cover his face, such as a mask.
Qin Chuan randomly approached a stall.
The disciple of this stall had just arrived and was still laying out his items in his stall.
“Um, Junior Brother, come take a look. Everything here is a treasure. I guarantee you’ll like them,” the disciple said as he worked.
Qin Chuan asked directly, “Senior Brother, do you sell masks here?”
The disciple nodded repeatedly. “Masks? Definitely!
“I’m not better than others, but in terms of variety, I —Sha Ning-am not boasting at all. I have the greatest variety among all the stalls in the entire night market.
“Junior Brother, you want a mask, right?
“Please wait a moment. I’ll find it for you. “There’s no other way. There’s too much stuff here.”
Sha Ning’s fingers were full of storage rings, and there were several storage bangles on his wrist.
After rummaging through several storage rings and bracelets, he finally found a mask.
The material of the mask seemed to be the bark of some kind of tree. It was entirely black and green and looked rather ugly.
Sha Ning smiled awkwardly. “Junior Brother, I came out in a hurry today and didn’t pick carefully. I only have this one mask.
“Although it’s a little ugly, its background is extraordinary.
“Look! Although this mask doesn’t look good, the material is great!
“There is no sense of weight at all when worn on the face. Moreover, it carries the fragrance of ancient trees, and smelling it could refresh one’s mind.
“Most importantly, this can block out the divine consciousness of others.
“With this mask on, no one will know what you look like.”
Sha Ning kept bragging about how good and outstanding this mask was.
Qin Chuan stretched out his hand and said, “Let me take a look!”
Sha Ning wasn’t afraid that Qin Chuan would take it and run away, so he handed it over.
Qin Chuan took the mask. It felt like he was holding a piece of bark, but it was indeed quite light.
Although it was a little ugly, it was still passable. After all, it had the effect of blocking out divine consciousnesses.
“Senior Brother, state a price!” Qin Chuan weighed the mask in his hand.
Sha Ning thought for a moment and said, “This mask was obtained from an ancient cultivator’s cave abode when I was out on an adventure some time ago.
“It came from the ancient era, after all, so it’s not cheap.
“Senior Brother, I’ve tested it myself. This mask is immune to fire and lightning. Its defense ability is extremely strong, on the same level as an immortal artifact.
“But I think you’re quite meant for it. Today, I don’t want 998, nor 888. Today, I’ll give you a friendly price of 99 superior-grade spirit stones.”
“Alright!” Qin Chuan did not bargain. He casually took out a supreme-grade spirit stone.
One supreme-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a hundred superior-grade spirit stones.
“Senior Brother, keep the change.”
Qin Chuan took his mask and left.
Sha Ning froze.
He hurriedly picked up the supreme-grade spirit stone from the table and checked its authenticity.
“My goodness, where did this local tyrant come from? He’s so generous.”
–
Sha Ning hurriedly put the top-grade spirit stones into his storage ring, afraid that someone would snatch them away.
However, as he watched Qin Chuan leave, the disciple seemed to have thought of something
“Did I sell it too cheaply? Did I meet someone who knows what’s good?”
This mask did come from an ancient cultivator’s cave abode, but it had been hanging on a withered tree in front of the cave abode.
Sha Ning thought that if it was a treasure, it wouldn’t be placed in such a conspicuous place.
He had also refined it himself. Other than blocking out divine consciousness and preventing people from spying, this mask did not have any other impressive function.
He also asked a friend from the Weapon Forging office to appraise it.
His friend said that it was just a piece of bark that had been slightly processed, and there were no traces of refinement on it.
Since it wasn’t any treasure and he felt that it was a pity to throw it away, he put the mask and a bunch of miscellaneous items into his storage ring
If he hadn’t met Qin Chuan today, he would have forgotten about this item.
After leaving the stall, Qin Chuan found an empty space. He squeezed out a drop of blood from his finger and refined the mask.
Soon, the mask was refined.
When he put on the mask, it was indeed the same as was introduced. There was indeed no sense of weight at all as if he wasn’t wearing
it.
Other than that, also just as introduced, there was indeed the fragrance of ancient wood. But the smell was very faint and did not have the effect of refreshing one’s mind.
He took off his mask and tested it with his divine consciousness.
The moment his divine consciousness touched the mask, it was like a ray of light had hit a mirror. It instantly rebounded.
Qin Chuan was quite satisfied with this.
This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about being recognized.
Although the item was a little ugly, it was at least very practical.
Qin Chuan put on his mask again.
In a short while he stepped out, more and more disciples had come to the night market street.
When the sky darkened completely, the night market became extremely lively.
Even though the night market street was tens of kilometers long, it didn’t seem that long when there were many people.
Qin Chuan shopped as he walked, occasionally stopping to buy some toys that he thought were interesting.
Little did he know that there was a pair of eyes among the crowd, watching him like a hunting beast.
