"Since it’s Young Master asking, then I will give it to you for 500 Lesser Grade Mana Crystals only." She sweetly smiled and picked up the bracelet to pack it.
"200 Mana Crystals," Orion said with the same smile on his face.
The young woman’s hand paused. "Ah, haha, Young Master, you make funny jokes. How can it be so cheap? The most I can do is 450 Mana Crystals."
Orion shook his head. "They seem quite old and worn out. And I can buy a completely new one for 600–700 Lesser Grade Mana Crystals. The most I will give is 250 Mana Crystals."
The young woman quickly shook her head. "No, no, no. I also need to feed myself and my paralyzed mother at home, Young Master. My father is a drunkard, and I pay for all the bills at home." Her gaze turned misty, and she nearly sobbed. "T-the most I can do is 400 Mana Crystals."
"Alright then, we’ll call it a deal with 300 Mana Crystals." Orion nodded his head and motioned for Edgar to pay it.
The young woman looked conflicted before she heaved a sigh. "Then I hope you will come here more often to purchase stuff." She quickly packed it up and presented it to Orion.
"Sure, sure. I will come here whenever I visit the market." He smilingly nodded and put away the box in his storage ring.
The young woman’s eyes flashed when she saw the storage ring on his hand. Her smile became much warmer. "Do you need anything else, Young Master? I have a lot of goodies here."
She enthusiastically began advertising her wares. Orion looked through them and bought a few more things.
At the end, the young woman smiled happily. "Happy doing business with you, Young Master. Hope you come here often."
Orion waved his hand and left.
After walking some distance away from the stall, he shook his head. "She really was a fox."
Edgar raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You realized it too, Young Master?"
Orion looked at him with slight confusion. "Realized what? I said it due to how she acte— oh wait, she was actually a Foxkin?"
Edgar nodded his head. "Yes, she had just hidden her True Body, otherwise she would have been ten times more charming. The majority of Foxkins are absolute beauties, after all."
Orion gave him a side glance. "You sound quite experienced."
Edgar chuckled. "Of course not, these are just some things I heard."
They both laughed and continued walking leisurely, Orion’s Eye of Revelation continually scanning the surrounding stalls.
He noticed many items emitting stronger auras that tantalizingly hinted at greater treasures, but their details remained elusive.
Despite the limitation, his enthusiasm didn’t diminish; rather, he felt motivated to enhance his strength quickly, eager to fully unlock the Eye’s potential.
Orion’s steps paused abruptly at an antique weaponry stall, eyes drawn to a dusty, seemingly ordinary longsword. He activated his Eye once more.
[Windsteel Blade (Tier 5)
Description: A finely crafted longsword forged from Windsteel. Lightweight and exceptionally sharp, increases agility slightly when wielded.]
’Hmm... Soulpiercer and Bonesteel are both way above my level. They would suck my mana dry if I try to wield them. But this... this should be good enough for now. And from its dusty appearance, the vendor doesn’t realize it’s actually a treasure.’
Suppressing a delighted smile, Orion casually picked it up, turning toward the bored-looking vendor. "How much for this sword?"
The vendor glanced dismissively. "Hmm, that? It’s been here forever. Let’s say a hundred Lesser Grade Mana Crystals?"
