The old man was wearing tattered clothes and a straw hat. He was leaning on a walking stick made of dead wood. His clothes were almost all patched up, making him look like an old beggar. However, the smile on his face was very warm, giving people a warm feeling.
"Do you know where to buy a Heart of Darkness?"
Jiang Chen looked suspiciously at the old man and frowned. He had walked the streets for an entire day and hadn't found it. Jiang Chen had to be on guard against this old man.
"Hehehe! I know, but the price is a bit expensive. "
The old man smiled mysteriously.
"Why isn't there a place selling a Heart of Darkness here? You say you have one, but how do I know if it's true or not? "
Jiang Chen said.
The old man pulled Jiang Chen and spoke as they walked.
"I can tell you're an outsider, not someone from the Heaven Awaken Planet. The Heaven Awaken Planet has an unwritten rule that Hearts of Darkness can't be bought or sold. No matter how high the value of a Heart of Darkness is, it's not allowed to be sold to form a legal business chain. As for the reason, back then, many descendants of famous families and even wealthy merchants wanted to use a Heart of Darkness to enter the Beast Arena and the Heaven Awaken Galaxy City. This caused the quality of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse to plummet, and the death rate was very high. Some people bought a Heart of Darkness and directly died in the Beast Arena, causing the entire Beast Arena to be filled with foul air.
"So gradually, the Heaven Awaken Planet issued a law that no one was allowed to sell Hearts of Darkness. Once caught, they would be killed without any mercy. Even the son of the Heaven Awaken Galaxy City's Third City Lord was killed for secretly selling a Heart of Darkness. As a result, no one dared to have any thoughts about a Heart of Darkness anymore. Moreover, using a Heart of Darkness from an Origin Stone caused the experts participating in the Beast Arena to be mixed. Whether they were true experts or not would be known as soon as they fought, so many people no longer dared to take the risk. "In the end, everyone valued the title of 'Warrior'. Heart of Darkness is synonymous with Warrior, so who would dare to have any thoughts about a Heart of Darkness? Hehehe. "
The old man said with a smile. The two of them chatted as they walked. Unknowingly, they had arrived at a remote street corner.
Jiang Chen understood, but he still didn't quite believe it. Since the Heart of Darkness had forbidden the sale of it, it seemed that the old man still wanted to take the risk.
"Don't look at me like that. In this day and age, if it's not for the sake of living, who would be willing to risk their lives? I don't do this business often. I have to take care of my parents and children, so I have no choice."
The old man said with a sorrowful expression.
"This is my business card. It has my address on it. My surname is Yang. Everyone calls me Yang Guolao. Many people on this street know me."
Seeing Jiang Chen's hesitant look, the old man spoke again.
"How much for one?"
Jiang Chen took the wooden sign handed over by the old man. It seemed to be the innermost part of this street.
Yang Guolao was overjoyed.
"A hundred thousand grade five Origin Stones each."
"200,000? It was too expensive. The Genesis Qi in a Heart of Darkness was at most equivalent to a few thousand Origin Stones. "
Jiang Chen looked at the old man meaningfully. This was too shady.
"Ai, I had no choice. I risked my life to collect these Hearts of Darkness. They are all worth a hundred and eighty thousand Origin Stones. If I sell them to you, you should at least let me earn a bit, right? I risked my life doing this. If I was caught by the city lord's people, I would definitely die. Just treat it as a reward for your hard work. I can tell that you are a brave warrior with one look. I have helped many brave warriors before, and they have all passed the Beast Duelling Arena. Some brave warriors are just too lazy to go to the Dark Forest to hunt. Isn't it better to use their precious time to cultivate? "
Yang Guolao said seriously.
"That's true. So be it, twenty million. However, there is one thing that I still need to clarify. "
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the old man.
"Young master, please speak. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Yang Guolao patted his chest as he spoke.
"What is going on with these Enchanters? How do they enchant their weapons? "
"You have asked the right person. Young master, this is an Enchanter's Secret Manual. Five million Origin Stones is enough for this old man."
Yang Guolao looked around cautiously as he spoke with a serious expression.
"You must have asked a lot of people on the street, right? Who can tell you the exact time of the day? This Enchanter's Secret Manual was passed down by my grandfather. However, there was no suitable person to cultivate it. Otherwise, if I could become a true Enchanter, why would I need to secretly sell Hearts of Darkness here? "
Yang Guolao had a pained expression on his face.
"Alright, give me a hundred. I want this Secret Manual as well. "
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"Alright, Young Master seems to be a straightforward person. Here are a hundred Hearts of Darkness. Please keep them."
Yang Guolao's eyes lit up. He took out a spatial ring and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at it, then took out twenty-five million fifth-grade Origin Stones and gave it to the old man.
"Straightforward. I will help Young Master become invincible in the Beast Battle Arena. Entering the Heaven Awakening Galaxy City is just around the corner!"
Yang Guolao received the Origin Stones and chanted auspicious words as he walked away with a smile on his face.
When Jiang Chen returned to his residence, he discovered that something was wrong. The hundred Hearts of Darkness had turned into a hundred stones.
"What a powerful camouflage technique!"
Jiang Chen's face sank. He didn't expect that even he would be fooled. He couldn't see through this camouflage technique. This old man was an old swindler!
"Damn it!"
Jiang Chen laughed bitterly. He originally wanted to spend less time and directly enter the Beast Battle Arena to participate in the advancement quota. Only those who obtained the quota could enter the Heaven Awakening Galaxy City. However, Jiang Chen didn't have a good start. He was deceived by an old swindler in tattered clothes. Jiang Chen was a little depressed, but he could only say that the old man's deceit technique was too powerful. As for the token he left for him, he didn't need to think about it to know that it was fake. It was just to deceive him.
Twenty-five million Origin Stones wasn't a big deal for Jiang Chen, but he couldn't afford to lose face. Being greedy for small gains resulted in a big loss. This was the first time Jiang Chen had suffered such a big loss. He wanted to save time, but he didn't expect to be deceived by that old swindler.
"Don't let me see you again."
Jiang Chen swore in his heart. If he were to bump into that guy again, he would definitely tear him into pieces.
Jiang Chen picked up the Enchanter's Accelerated Training Manual and flipped through it. It looked quite simple.
