Nine Turns of Nirvana

"I don't know who this old man is?"

Looking at the direction where the old man in black clothes disappeared, Lu Yu murmured to himself.

"This man has been appearing at treasure appreciation conferences for decades and rarely communicates with others. Yu has never heard anyone talk about his origins..."

Yu Wanli looked thoughtful, and then he laughed again.

"But why bother with this? This is a romance for the young master. You can accept it calmly, and it will be a good story in the future... Anyway, our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce accepted it on your behalf!"

With that said, Yu Wanli handed the thousand spirit stones to his subordinates and asked him to take them and put them away.

Lu Yu had no choice but to do this for the time being.

"I don't know what kind of armor this is? Does it have a name?"

Lu Yu looked down at the fiery red scales on his body again and said to himself.

Wearing this armor was too ostentatious in front of everyone, so he thought about putting it away first and then changing it into his clothes.

"If I read it correctly, this object should be the fire scale armor that was recorded in the "Relics of All Nations".

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the side.

Just by hearing the voice, Lu Yu thought it was a woman, but when he turned around, he realized that the speaker was actually a man.

It's just that this man is quite handsome and has a pair of very beautiful red and phoenix eyes. I'm afraid even women can't help but feel jealous of him.

There was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

"Hua Zhilan!"

"The number one genius in Hongdu County!"

"The boss of this four-county martial arts competition!"

"Is this person Hua Zhilan, who is as famous as Liu Qianjun, Ning Feng, and Xiang Chen? He seems a little... weak?"

"Even though he looks weak, he has entered the True Yuan Realm two years ago and is very strong! He is a real boss!"

…

Hua Zhilan walked slowly, elegantly and with a smile on her face.

"I am Hua Zhilan of Hongdu County. I wonder if I can part with this fire scale armor? Hua is willing to offer two thousand spiritual stones as a reward!"

As soon as this statement came out, the scene immediately exploded!

"Two thousand spiritual stones! Oh my God!"

"This Hua Zhilan is really rich!"

"This is the real deal of spending thousands of stones!"

"This Lu Yu, your life is really good! Someone just gave you a thousand spirit stones, and now Hua Zhilan is here to give you another two thousand..."

…

Lu Yu looked at this man who was prettier than a woman and said nothing.

It was not because he was hesitating or considering, but because he was reviewing himself. What was wrong with him that made Hua Zhilan mistakenly think that he would exchange such a treasure for money?

"What, is it too little?"

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't speak for a long time, Hua Zhilan said again.

"You have to think clearly. Although this fire scale armor is an eighth-grade treasure, your cultivation level is not high. If you keep it with you, you will not be able to exert its maximum effect."

"Two thousand spirit stones are enough to guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity, wealth, and food and clothing. If you keep this fire scale armor, will you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to earn two thousand spirit stones?"

"Besides, have you ever heard that a common man is not guilty but possesses a treasure? If you don't have enough strength to keep such a treasure, I'm afraid you will be killed..."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into his red phoenix eyes.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Haha, it's just a suggestion!"

Hua Zhilan smiled with a spring breeze on her face.

"Even if we want to sell it, you Hua Zhilan is not the best candidate. Could it be that the wealth of your Hongdu Hua family is comparable to our Wuyang Palace?"

Another voice came and joined the conversation between the two.

It was Liu Qianjun, the eldest son of Prince Wuyang, who had met Lu Yu before in the VIP building.

The crowd suddenly started talking again.

"Liu Qianjun is here too!"

"It seems that he is also very interested in this treasure!"

"That's an eighth-grade treasure. Is it more than just an interest?"

"It looks like the two big guys are going to face off this time!"

"This Lu Yu is sandwiched between these two big guys. Which side do you think he is on?"

"This is called extreme happiness leading to sadness!"

"Where is the other big boss Ning Feng? Hua Zhilan and Liu Qianjun have already appeared, why didn't he come..."

…

Seeing Liu Qianjun walking towards him like a tiger, Hua Zhilan couldn't help but smile.

"If the Prince's Palace is really so rich, why is His Royal Highness still interested in this Fire Scale Armor? Logically speaking, the Prince's Palace should be filled with all kinds of rare treasures!"

"Of course there are all kinds of rare treasures in the prince's palace, but the only thing missing is the Fire Scale Armor."

Liu Qianjun stood still in front of Lu Yu and looked into his eyes.

"Lu Yu, you and I have met before in the VIP Building, and we are destined to be together. If you are willing to transfer this fire scale armor to me, I will not only give you two thousand spiritual stones, but also allow you to choose one at my house. Treasures of grade five or above!”

"And, from now on, you will be our friend in the Prince's Palace!"

"Being a friend of the Duke's Palace will be of great benefit to you! Hua Zhilan can only protect you for a lifetime of prosperity, but I, Liu Qianjun, can give you peace for a lifetime!"

Liu Qianjun's words were extremely confident and convincing.

The crowd couldn't help but start talking again.

"It sounds like Liu Qianjun's conditions are more attractive!"

"Although this fire scale armor is an eighth-grade treasure, what's the use of holding it with a life-saving weapon? It's better to replace it with a fifth-grade one!"

"In exchange for a fifth-grade item, I got two thousand spiritual stones, and even made friends with the county prince's palace! This is a good deal!"

"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. This is already the best choice..."

…

Everyone believed that Lu Yu had no reason to reject Liu Qianjun.

He didn't even have the courage to reject a prince.

But Lu Yu's reaction was destined to disappoint everyone.

"Sorry, I won't sell this thing."

Lu Yu's tone was calm, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had an unshakable firmness.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What? None of this is for sale?"

"He actually rejected two people at once! These two people were Hua Zhilan and Liu Qianjun!"

"Do you have any chance of enjoying this eighth grade if you keep it?"

"Anyway, it's the eighth grade I picked up for nothing, why not change it? If I don't change it, it's nothing!"

…

Hua Zhilan smiled brighter and brighter.

"Have you thought it through?"

Liu Qianjun's eyes became sharp.

"Do you know what you rejected?"

Faced with such pressure from the two of them, an ordinary person would have been so frightened that he would wet his pants.

But Lu Yu still looked calm.

"I tell you two, there is no need for you to be so solemn, right?"

"Isn't it just rejecting an opportunity to become your puppet? Isn't it a pity?"

This sentence came unexpectedly.

The smile on Hua Zhilan's face suddenly froze.

Liu Qianjun was also choked severely.

The surrounding audience were dumbfounded...

Even Yu Wanli couldn't help but sweat for Lu Yu.

How dare you say this casually in front of these two big guys?

"Hahaha……"

Just when everyone was stunned, a long laugh came.

"Liu Qianjun! Hua Zhilan! You two hypocritical people! You've heard too many flattery in the past, but you didn't expect someone to be so disrespectful to you today, right?"
