Chapter 845 — 845 Demon Warding Talisman

845  Demon Warding Talisman

"None of the treasures here interests you? You're a picky one, aren't you?" The old man laughed out loud.

This is his first time meeting someone who couldn't be swayed by the treasures on the first floor.

"Either the three outside didn't tell you or you just don't care, but you do not qualify to see the other floors." The old man then said.

"But…"

He closed his eyes to ponder.

After a few moments of silence, he spoke, "But since you managed to defeat the Abomination and seem to have a bright future ahead of you, I will make this an exception and allow you to claim a treasure from the next floor."

"Thank you, senior." Yuan clasped his hands and bowed to him in a respectful manner.

"Don't thank me just yet. I said 'a' treasure, so you will only be allowed to choose one treasure even if you have enough points for more. If you stay down here, you can buy as many treasures as you'd like. What is your decision?"

"I would still like to see the next floor." Yuan immediately responded without hesitation.

None of the treasures on this floor were good enough in his eyes, so it wouldn't matter if he could buy multiple of them.

"Very well. Follow me." The old man nodded, and he proceeded to walk to the next floor with Yuan following right behind him.

A few moments later, Yuan stepped foot inside the second floor. Although there were far less treasures on this floor at glance, there was a powerful pressure on this floor that didn't exist on the first floor, and it made it harder to breathe for Yuan, as his cultivation level was too weak to stand beside these powerful treasures.

However, he endured the intense pressure and began walking around the room.

There were swords, spears, bows, daggers— all sorts of weapons on this floor, but none of them interested him.

'These treasures would've definitely been enough before I acquired the Divine Paragon's memories, but now… They just feel so lackluster…' Yuan sighed inwardly.

After reaching the end of the room, Yuan suddenly stopped before a red ring that had been resting inside a display case for an unknown amount of time.

He didn't recognize this ring, but he had a feeling that he had seen it before.

"What is this treasure?" Yuan decided to ask the old man.

The old man approached him and the treasure before speaking, "Nobody really knows the usage for this treasure or how to use it, but it used to belong to the Divine Paragon— at least according to the rumors. There is no concrete proof that it belongs to the Divine Paragon, but some people during his era claimed that they have seen him with it."

"How much is it?" Yuan asked then asked.

He figured that the reason he felt like he had seen the ring before was because it belonged to the Divine Paragon.

'I probably don't recognize it because I don't have the memories for it yet, but I do believe that it belonged to the Divine Paragon. As for its purpose… I will find out once I regain those memories. Hopefully, it's worth it.' He thought to himself.

"It's worth 2,000 points." The old man said.

"That expensive? Even though it doesn't have any usage?" Yuan was surprised to hear this.

"Well, anything related to the Divine Paragon is extremely valuable even if it has no real uses. Even a wooden branch that had been touched by Divine Paragon for a brief moment can be worth more than actual treasures. There are some collectors out there that are obsessed with this kind of stuff." The old man explained.

"I understand that, but you just said it is just a rumor that it belonged to the Divine Paragon. What if it turns out to be some random ring?" Yuan asked.

"Even if that is the case, this ring has some value, as it contains a massive amount of demon sealing aura within it. The only problem is… nobody knows how to extract it or use it. How about this. If you decide to buy this treasure, I will change the rules a little and let you buy another treasure from the first floor."

"Deal." Yuan immediately agreed.

"Then it's decided that you want this ring?" The old man asked for confirmation.

"Yes, I want this ring." He confirmed.

"Very well."

The old man then removed the array protecting the display case and retrieved the red ring from within before handing it to Yuan.

Ding!

[Sealed Ring]

[Grade: ???]

[Description: A mysterious ring that is said to belong to the Divine Paragon, Founder of the Demon Sealing Clan. It contains a massive amount of demon sealing aura within.]

"You have 211 more points."

Yuan returned to the first floor with the old man.

After looking through the treasures once more, Yuan pointed at a specific treasure that was priced at 200 points.

"I want this treasure."

"Very well."

The old man handed the treasure Yuan picked to him shortly after removing the array.

[Demon Warding Talisman]

[Grade: Divine]

[Description: Activating the Demon Warding Talisman will create a powerful barrier around the user, preventing most demons from approaching. It can also be used to contain demons. Requires 24 hours before it can be activated again.]

"Since you have 11 points left that cannot be used to purchase anything, I will exchange them for spirit stones. Here you go."

The old man handed Yuan a storage pouch that contained 11,000 spirit stones.

"Thank you." Yuan bowed to the old man afterward.

"I have a feeling that we will be seeing each other again soon. Good luck, young demon sealer." The old man sent Yuan away with a profound smile on his face.

After leaving the pagoda, Yuan returned to the others that had been waiting outside this entire time.

"What did you get? Show me!" Yan Hara asked him in a curious voice the moment he returned.
