Fang Xingjian returned to the Sacred Land. Looking at the few boxes of materials he had obtained, the corners of his lips curled up into a satisfied smile.
"Ancient Astral Metal. It's said that when the stars in the sky still existed, meteors landed on the ground and obtained the metal. It's extremely sturdy and hard to destroy after it's formed. This amount is already worth over 50,000 gold.
"The venom of a level 29 ferocious beast, the Nine-Colored Spider Queen. It can corrode a Conferred Knight's body directly and can be used to refine poison resistance medicine. It can give one a powerful poison resistance specialty. It's worth 20,000 gold."
As he inspected the goods one by one, Fang Xingjian asked, "You bought them in secret and didn't reveal my name, right?" He did not plan on revealing the existence of the mystical prints and the list of materials.
"Don't worry, Xingjian. I bought them in different places and in different amounts. I definitely didn't reveal your identity."
"And this." Fang Xingjian took out a box and revealed a strange stone that continued to emit white prints.
"This is the geomagnetic essence. It's buried deep underground for over 1,000 years and contains countless geomagnetic forces. After consuming it, ordinary blades and spears will find it hard to harm it. It's as if you've gone through heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism to temper your body in advance. It's also the most expensive item this time around, costing 90,000 gold? "
"That's right." Robert looked at this item with some envy. If he could consume this geomagnetic essence, he would be able to become a top notch Knight expert. Even ordinary Inferior Divine Weapons would only be able to pierce through his skin and not his muscles.
However, Fang Xingjian, who had been inspecting the goods in satisfaction, frowned at the next moment. He exerted slight force in his hand that was holding onto the geomagnetic essence, and the strange stone shattered into over ten pieces.
Robert was shocked. "What's wrong, Xingjian?"
"It's fake." A hint of killing intent flashed in Fang Xingjian's eyes. "Someone has channeled geomagnetic forces into this item. Only a Conferred Knight expert would be able to do something like this. Hmph, 90,000 gold … I've been scammed just like that."
90,000 gold … This amount of money was about what a Prefectural Academy would spend in a year. This amount of money could be used to buy a few hundred houses in the Great Western City. If it was used on a Knight, he would be able to reach the pinnacle of a Knight, and his attributes would be over 100 points or more.
But now, he was cheated by someone else with a fake. How could Fang Xingjian not be angry?
Robert was also taken aback. Afraid that Fang Xingjian would misunderstand him, he said, "I'll go look for the seller right now. They're in the ore market in the eastern suburbs of the Great Western City."
"Wait." Fang Xingjian stopped Robert and said, "What's the use of you going to the means of a Conferred Knight?"
Robert lowered his head in shame. Fang Xingjian continued, "You hid your identity. They must have seen that you're not strong enough and have no background. That's why they tricked you. If you go there now, you might be backstabbed."
Saying this, he could not help but frown. He still did not have any subordinates. The only Conferred Knight, Zhou Xingwen, had gone to the north to discuss the authorization for the Rebirth Sword Technique. Right now, other than himself, there were no other Conferred Knights under him.
Shaking his head, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Forget it. I'll go with you."
As he spoke, he grabbed Robert's neck with one hand and lifted him up slightly. The nine feet tall man was lifted up like a little chick. Fang Xingjian's footsteps flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he had left the Sacred Land and arrived outside the academy.
Robert only felt that light and shadows were flashing before his eyes. When he stopped, he saw stars, and his heart was beating so fast that it was as if it was going to jump out.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Show me the way."
Robert's trembling fingers stretched out, and at the next moment, his body trembled violently once again. Then Fang Xingjian grabbed him by the neck and dashed out.
Not long later, a bustling small town appeared before Fang Xingjian.
The town was about over ten kilometers away from the Great Western City. It was called Iron Ore Town and had been famous in the past for producing iron ores. Although the ores had dried up, the town had not weakened. Instead, it had become a famous ore market near the Great Western City.
Under Robert's lead, Fang Xingjian arrived at the largest shop in the town. A shop assistant smiled and walked over, asking, "What are the two of you looking for? Our Golden Corner is the biggest material merchant in Iron Ore Town. We have everything from meteorites and heavenly dew to ordinary copper ores and silver ores. "
Robert said furiously, "I came here to buy geomagnetic essence two days ago. Have you forgotten that the goods you gave me were fake goods? Geomagnetic essence! That's 90,000 gold, and you've swallowed it just like that. You're really unscrupulous. "
Hearing Robert's words, the shop assistant's countenance immediately changed. The few men who had been chatting and laughing in the distance also turned their gazes over, their gazes filled with a strong sense of warning.
Robert was wearing a Knight attire, while Fang Xingjian had come out after his cultivation in the Killing Techniques Palace. He was only wearing a white training robe.
Moreover, Fang Xingjian looked too young, so everyone thought that he was just Robert's follower.
Following Robert's shouts, more and more people turned to look at him.
When an old man saw Robert shouting, he walked over and tried to persuade him, "Sigh, young man, don't be so anxious. If there's anything, we can talk it out slowly. The Golden Corner isn't a place where you can create trouble."
Robert said furiously, "They cheated me of 90,000 gold, and now I can't even shout a few words?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, youngsters these days can't even hold themselves back over small matters."
"Small matters?" Robert pointed at the old man and scolded, "It's not your money, so of course you can pretend to be generous here. If you were to lose 90,000 gold, you'd die from anger."
The old man was so angry that his body trembled. He pointed at Robert fiercely a few times, then turned to leave, wearing an expression that said 'this kid is unteachable'.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the few men and assistants from the shop also walked over. They surrounded Robert and said to Fang Xingjian, "The two of you, don't speak without thinking. The things that our shop sells are all genuine goods. We've never sold anything like you before. I think the two of you are here to swindle money."
"If you have something to say, go in and wait for our boss to come over to talk. Don't stay in the shop and affect our business."
Seeing how the few assistants were glaring at him, as a Knight, Robert was naturally not afraid. However, when Fang Xingjian said that the other party had a Conferred Knight backing them up, he could not help but look at Fang Xingjian with some hesitation.
Fang Xingjian casually found a chair and sat down, saying coldly, "If you have anything to say, then let's talk here. Get your boss to come over in five minutes. If he's not here in five minutes, then he can forget about keeping this shop open."
"Ha, what arrogance, lad." One of the assistants looked at Fang Xingjian, then looked at Robert and said, "We've given you face, but you don't want it. I advise you to scram. Otherwise, when our boss comes, things won't be so easy to talk to."
They were only assistants, and their abilities were only at the level of Knight apprentices. Naturally, they would not dare to touch a Knight like Robert. However, seeing that Fang Xingjian was about the same age as them and was still so arrogant, two of the men immediately walked over and pushed Fang Xingjian.
However, they had just stretched out their hands when two bangs rang out, and the two men were sent flying. They rolled on the ground and let out agonizing cries.
