Healing holy medicine and top-grade armor are the most scarce treasures in battle, while the Black Flame Heart Lotus can only be considered a type of cultivation treasure. By the time one can afford the Black Flame Heart Lotus, relying solely on it is insufficient for significantly enhancing everyone's strength. However, healing-type holy fruits can be used for registration.
"I have a piece of defensive armor; you can take a look."
Seeing that no one had made a bid, a man wearing a straw hat spoke, then casually took out a shield. As soon as the shield appeared, Qin Chen knew it must be damaged, and the flaws were quite significant.
Sure enough, after the masked man took the defensive shield, his expression was not good, and he appeared hesitant. Clearly, this treasure did not meet his expectations.
"You know, genuine top-grade Saint Master level defensive treasures are rarely offered for trade by ordinary people. Although your Black Flame Heart Lotus is a top-grade material, there aren't many who can make use of it. If you were looking to exchange for an offensive holy treasure, there might be some hope, but defensive top-grade holy treasures are not so easy to obtain."
The man in the straw hat spoke solemnly, evidently trying to persuade the other party.
Qin Chen had originally not planned to trade the Black Flame Heart Lotus, but when he saw that only one person was willing to make a bid in exchange, and that the item offered was a severely broken defensive shield, Qin Chen’s interest was immediately piqued.
He did have top-grade healing pills, such as the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill, but he was reluctant to take them out casually. However, he had quite a few defensive holy treasures on him.
Both he and You Qianxue had terrifying physiques; ordinary defensive holy treasures were of little use to them. Previously, he had slain many powerful opponents in that secret realm and had plundered numerous treasures from the Tian Kui Thieves, so although he had nothing else on him, he had a large pile of treasures.
The masked man hesitated for a moment, ultimately shaking his head and saying, "Sorry, this defensive shield, although it is top-grade Saint Master level, is too heavily damaged and does not meet my requirements."
Saying this, he returned the defensive shield.
After calling out a few times with no response, the masked man was somewhat disappointed and was about to put away the Black Flame Heart Lotus when he heard Qin Chen say, "I have a piece of top-grade armor holy treasure; please take a look, friend."
With that, Qin Chen took out a piece of armor and handed it to the maid beside him.
The maid quickly brought the armor to the masked man. Upon picking up Qin Chen’s armor, the masked man frowned slightly because he noticed that Qin Chen's armor was also damaged.
However, this armor was much more intact compared to the previous shield, and among defensive holy treasures, armor can be worn directly, which does not affect combat. Unlike shields, which must be activated to block in front, it is easy to lose defensive effects with a moment's inattention.
More critically, this armor was not excessively damaged and could be repaired. It would just require finding a Refiner Master and expending enough Holy Vein to restore it completely. However, finding a top-grade Saint Master level Refiner Master for repairs was not a small challenge, but even if that was not possible, wearing it directly would still be effective.
The masked man hesitated for a moment, ultimately placing the Black Flame Heart Lotus in the maid’s hands and said, "It's a deal."
Qin Chen was overjoyed; he had quite a few treasures on him. Those Void Raiders, who had been plundering for years, surely all had some treasures. A broken Saint Master armor was of no use to Qin Chen, but he did not expect to exchange it for a Black Flame Heart Lotus. With this Black Flame Heart Lotus, his Calamity Inferno Fire would surely advance further.
Calamity Inferno Fire was the legacy flame of the Heavenly Fire Venerable; it was rumored to be a disaster flame condensed by the Supreme being of the ancient Demon Tribe. However, over billions of years, the power of Calamity Inferno Fire had diminished significantly. Once restored, its power would surely increase, giving Qin Chen another trump card.
