Chapter 549: Chapter 230: Lucky Find "Let me just have a look around first." David began to examine other items. Slowly, he picked up the small wooden box and opened it. A few ancient scrolls, small stones shimmering with a mysterious glow, and a yellowed booklet came into view. Although they appeared simple on the outside, he could clearly feel a certain powerful aura emanating from these items, especially the unique aura of a Bloodline Mage that shocked him to his core. "This... these are the inheritance artifacts of a Bloodline Mage!" David thought to himself. He could sense that the scrolls and materials contained immeasurable power, as if subtly calling to him. "What are you looking at?" the vendor seemed to notice the change in his expression and asked. "These things... they’re really special." David suppressed his inner excitement and answered with feigned calm, "I’m just very curious." The vendor shook his head with a wry smile, "These were left by my grandmother. I don’t really understand them, just know that they’re old." However, David knew these items were far from ordinary. He carefully examined the scrolls, which were covered with intricate and exquisite runes, completely different from any magic scrolls he had seen before. He could feel that these runes contained a unique and powerful magic power, intertwined with information related to Bloodline Mages. "You say they’re inheritance artifacts, yet you know nothing about them yourself?" David asked lightly, "That doesn’t quite add up." The vendor shrugged, "To me, they’re just some old things. I don’t have time to study them, they just take up space. If someone wants to buy them, I’ll be happy." At this moment, David was secretly rejoicing that he had found a bargain. The items in this small wooden box would not only provide great help for his cultivation but might also serve as a crucial key to unlocking higher-tier power. Moreover, the vendor didn’t know their true value, making his find all the more exciting. David’s eyes gleamed as he weighed the value of this small wooden box and its contents in his mind. He knew these ancient scrolls and mysterious small stones were far from ordinary, especially the unique aura of the Bloodline Mage within them, which drew him with an indescribable allure. "How much should I offer you?" David finally couldn’t resist asking, lowering his voice to avoid attracting the attention of other customers. The vendor pondered for a moment and answered, "I’m really not sure about these items, but if you’re willing to offer a thousand magic crystals, I’ll sell them to you." David pretended to hesitate on his face. He knew this was definitely a cheap deal, but he didn’t want to appear too eager. After some careful thought, he decided to continue probing the vendor, "Can you lower the price a bit?" "After all, none of us know what these things are for, and I only want to study them because I am a wizard scholar." The vendor seemed a little troubled, thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, I’ll compromise, eight hundred magic crystals." "Eight hundred, that’s fine then!" David thought for a moment and no longer haggled, slowly taking out a heap of magic crystals from his bag and handed them to the vendor. And quietly celebrated in his heart for finding a bargain. "Do you have any other items?" he asked, glancing around with some excitement, wondering if he could find more deals. At that moment, he noticed a few small booklets with worn covers and yellowed edges placed in a corner. Curious, he walked over and flipped through them, discovering that they contained information on ancient magic and rituals. This had considerable research value for Sura, who possessed the Sacrificial Talent. "How much for these booklets?" David inquired of the vendor. The vendor hesitated slightly, then said, "These are just some old books, I haven’t researched them much, each three hundred magic crystals." "Can you sell them as a package? If I buy all the booklets at once, can you give me a discount?" David tried to lower the price. "Alright, if you buy them all at once, I’ll give you a discount, two hundred and fifty magic crystals each." The vendor took several booklets from the shelf and put them together, "In that case, it will be a total of eight hundred magic crystals." After a simple calculation, the total expense for buying the small wooden box and all the booklets was only one thousand six magic crystals. David paid the amount without hesitation and took in the small wooden box and those precious booklets. After receiving the package, David nodded in thanks, then hurriedly left the market. He couldn’t wait to return to his cultivation land to delve deeper into the mysteries and value of these inheritance artifacts. "Hmm? Someone’s following me?" David suddenly felt a twinge of alertness. Then he moved directly to a nearby forest, activated a Spatial Mark, and his figure instantly vanished from sight, leaving the pursuers baffled, not knowing how they lost him. David used Space Teleportation to return directly to the Mist Forest. Soon, he was back in his residence at the Elf Royal Palace, quickly opening the small wooden box to closely examine every item once more. Upon close inspection, the runes on those ancient scrolls gradually became clear. He even found some spells very similar to the Bloodline Mage inheritance he had previously acquired, with some undeniable connection. And those small stones seemed to be vital materials for enhancing spell effects, helping to increase casting power and stability, containing Bloodline Energy. Through careful comparison and decryption, what excited him the most was that the yellowed booklet recorded methods and techniques for utilizing Bloodline Power, with certain rituals mentioned that greatly piqued his interest.
