In the Domain of the Gods, any set of Sanskrit characters was considered to have extraordinary value.
The Luo River flowed endlessly, and it had existed in the Domain of the Gods for countless years.
Tens of thousands of years had passed since the seventeenth Divine Era, when the Luo River was located in the Mingchen Region, a heavy rain suddenly erupted.
Because of that heavy rain, a section of the Luo River collapsed.
And in that collapsed section, a huge black rock appeared, and on this black rock were seven golden Sanskrit characters.
This was the origin of the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters.
The news spread like wildfire, and it immediately attracted the attention of many powers in the Domain of the Gods. Even the rich and powerful families revealed a strong interest …
The first to receive the news, and the first to act was the Bai Family, ranked eighteenth among the rich and powerful families.
This was because the Mingchen Region belonged to the Bai Family.
Even though the Bai Family sealed off all channels of information in the shortest amount of time possible, the seven Sanskrit characters were still leaked out.
Many rich and powerful families, and many first-rate families, bought these seven Sanskrit characters at a high price. No matter how strict the Bai Family's blockade was, it was impossible for them to completely destroy these Sanskrit characters.
After all, a single Sanskrit character could be copied an unlimited number of times …
There was no way to find out who had taken out the first Sanskrit character, but the Bai Family had indeed been furious at the start.
But when the powerful figures of the Domain of the Gods obtained the Sanskrit characters, they immediately began to decipher them. But when they truly began to study them, the True Gods, Paragons, and Sages of the Domain of the Gods discovered the difficulty.
Although some of the more obscure Sanskrit characters were strange, there were always people who could decipher a few words from them. After all, generation after generation, the True Gods' understanding of Sanskrit would slowly increase.
But the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters were far too complicated compared to ordinary Sanskrit characters, and there was almost no way to decipher them.
This problem had troubled the True Gods of the Domain of the Gods, and to this day, there was still no solution.
The vast majority of the True Gods who were interested in Sanskrit had more or less attempted to decipher this problem. After all, not being able to decipher it wasn't anything shameful. With so many powerful figures attempting to decipher it, wouldn't they have struck it rich?
Those who were knowledgeable could tell at a glance that the seven golden Sanskrit characters were the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters. Even if the middle-aged man had blurred the characters, the white-robed elder and the youth could still recognize them.
In their opinion, Luo Zheng shouldn't be interested in this famous and unsolvable problem at all!
However, the guy they thought was a celestial being actually showed a strong interest in these seven Sanskrit tablets. Looking at how he restrained himself, he most likely thought that he had picked up a treasure.
Therefore, the two of them were speechless and devastated.
Where did this guy come from? He looked like he didn't know anything about Sanskrit, but he could casually give such accurate insights.
The young man even faintly hoped that this young man was just trying to flirt with the stall owner …
"Stall owner, are you going to sell these seven Sanskrit tablets?" Luo Zheng squinted and asked.
The special thing about Sanskrit was that if you couldn't decipher it, it was worthless. Other than being used to appreciate it, it was useless.
Based on Luo Zheng's current understanding, Devanagari characters that had been completely deciphered were extremely rare in God's Domain. He was currently considering how to obtain this set of Devanagari characters at a lower price.
The middle-aged man's thoughts were probably similar to the white-robed elder's and the youth's thoughts.
In God's Domain, those who didn't recognize the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters were all rookies among rookies. Seeing that a fish had taken the bait, he naturally had to serve it well.
The middle-aged man's head drooped and his eyelids opened slightly. He glanced at Luo Zheng indifferently and sneered. "It wasn't easy for me to obtain these seven Sanskrit tablets. However, since I've set up a stall here, I naturally have to sell them. However, I'll only sell them to people who know their value!"
"Name your price." Luo Zheng couldn't be bothered to waste time with him and simply said, "Name your price."
The middle-aged man stretched out a hand and lazily said, "Five thousand Shenwu coins!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the surrounding stall owners were shocked.
When they saw Luo Zheng's intense interest in the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters, they all looked at Luo Zheng as if they were looking at an idiot.
If it weren't for the tacit rule of their profession that they couldn't casually start a competition, they would have immediately brought the Luo River's Seven Sanskrit characters to Luo Zheng. Not five hundred, not fifty, just five Shenwu coins would be enough!
However, at the same time, these stall owners were inwardly cursing the middle-aged man for being brainless. This youth was only a Lesser True God. Even if they killed him, he probably wouldn't be able to fork out five thousand Shenwu coins. No matter how black-hearted he was, he wouldn't be able to scam someone like that.
In truth, the middle-aged man also knew that Luo Zheng wouldn't be able to fork out five thousand Shenwu coins. He had only named this price to extort a little and test Luo Zheng's reaction.
Normally, rookies like this would reveal a depressed or disappointed expression.
However, Luo Zheng's expression made the middle-aged man's heart beat wildly …
This fellow was clearly hesitant and moved!
"No way, he can really fork out a few thousand Shenwu coins?" The middle-aged man's expression didn't change as he stared at Luo Zheng's expression.
The white-robed old man and the youth continued to watch without batting an eyelid. The two of them were also whispering to each other.
"He really wants to buy it."
"Five thousand Shenwu coins isn't enough to scare him off. How many Shenwu coins does this fellow have?"
Luo Zheng frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Don't you think your price is a little high?"
The middle-aged man watched Luo Zheng's every move and continued to speak in a lazy voice. "It's hard to say how much this item will cost. For those who know their stuff, these seven Sanskrit characters are priceless treasures. Forget five thousand Shenwu coins, even five hundred thousand Shenwu coins would be the same. For those who don't know their stuff, even five Shenwu coins would be considered expensive."
He wasn't wrong.
However, the standard for knowing their stuff was to be able to decipher these seven Sanskrit characters …
Five thousand Shenwu coins wasn't worth mentioning to Luo Zheng. With his current net worth, even ordinary families couldn't compare to him. Moreover, his inner world was producing an endless supply of Shenwu coins.
"It's too expensive." Luo Zheng shook his head.
"As you wish." The middle-aged man also grasped Luo Zheng's thoughts. He judged that as long as Luo Zheng planned to leave, he would immediately plunge the price … Let alone five thousand, even if it was a hundred Shenwu coins, he would still laugh his head off.
Naturally, he didn't know that he had met a true nouveau riche today.
"Alright then, five thousand it is." Luo Zheng pursed his lips.
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged man's narrowed eyes widened. When he saw Luo Zheng flip his hand and a huge pile of black Shenwu coins poured out, his heart almost flew out of his chest. He suddenly felt that this world was a little unrealistic.
The surrounding stall owners also had their mouths wide open. They stared dumbly at Luo Zheng and the Shenwu coins that were pouring out …
"A, a deal?" The white-clothed old man couldn't maintain his composure.
The young man exchanged glances with him. Just as the middle-aged man was about to pounce on the pile of Shenwu coins, the two of them rushed over like the wind.
"Wait!" The white-clothed old man blocked Luo Zheng's path.
The young man used a fiendish expression to glare fiercely at the middle-aged man.
These two people who suddenly dashed out made Luo Zheng rather puzzled.
"What's the matter?" Luo Zheng asked.
"These seven Sacred Glyphs aren't worth this price. If you really need them, this old man can give them to you for free!" The white-clothed old man said to Luo Zheng with a smile.
Hearing the white-clothed old man's words, the middle-aged man immediately became anxious. That was five thousand Shenwu coins! He shouted, "Do you know the rules? How can you do this! I'm the one who negotiated this deal with him! "
The young man coldly sneered, "Rules? The rules of Mingsword God City are set by my family. If you still want to stay here, don't talk to me about rules! "
