“Lin Xin snorted twice, “Isn’t that talking about me?”
Sima Xian said, “But have you ever heard the saying that ‘many voices can melt gold, repeated slander can destroy bones’? — If you give me fake medicine, well, I might have to go talk to Li Xin. With your flirtatious manner, do you think Li Xin would believe me if I made up a few of your ex-girlfriends?”
“You… alright, you win. I give in.” Lin Xin turned his head away with a look of grief, no longer paying attention to Sima Xian. Seeing his expression, the others couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Speaking of which, boss, when Lu Xi heard that I could refine the Conjoined Spirit Enhancing Pill last time, he said he wanted to buy a set. He offered 1,000 merit points, and he would provide the materials himself. What do you think, should I agree or not?”
Long Haochen asked, “How long does it take you to refine this kind of pill?”
Lin Xin said, “About ten days. We should still be traveling by carriage from Holy City to the front lines, so that should be enough time. But I can’t guarantee it will definitely be successful.”
Long Haochen nodded and said, “Then give it a try.” Individual strength is insignificant on the battlefield. Having a familiar team watching out for each other will obviously increase the survival rate of both teams. Moreover, Lu Xi and his team have made significant progress after these three months of seclusion. Although they still can’t compare to Long Haochen and his team, the gap between the two teams has narrowed somewhat, considering that none of Long Haochen’s team has broken through to the sixth rank yet. Of course, this is under the premise that Long Haochen’s team has not purchased any equipment.
As they were talking, they arrived at the trading center. After entering, the seven of them went straight to the second floor. Although there was also Glorious equipment on the first floor, there was too little of it. In the second floor, at least half of the items for sale were of the Glorious level. However, the total number of equipment sold on the second floor was much smaller than on the first.
Using their Major-General-level tokens, the seven of them passed the guards on the second floor. To save time, they split up and searched for equipment that suited them.
The equipment each of them needed to replenish was different. Among them, the one who needed the least equipment replenishment was Chen Ying’er. With her destined summoned beast, McDull, her main abilities were embodied in McDull. And she couldn’t do much to enhance this pet, other than increasing her own spiritual power. Therefore, the equipment she was looking for was something similar to accessories that could increase spiritual power, stabilize mental power, and preferably include defensive capabilities.
The ones who needed to replenish equipment the most were Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian. Sima Xian’s role in the team was entirely warrior-like, but he was still wearing a priest’s robe. Wang Yuanyuan had never worn armor either, and her only true equipment was the Titan Shield. Relatively speaking, Han Yu and Lin Xin didn’t have high requirements for equipment; they would choose something suitable if they found it, but it didn’t matter if they didn’t.
Lin Xin’s Fire Cloud Crystal had been modified by a specialized alchemist and turned into a Glorious-level peak fire attribute staff. He used to be the richest and his robe was also of the Spirit-Demon level.
Separating from his partners, Long Haochen browsed the second floor with Cai’er in his arms. Each floor of the trading center was divided into two parts: equipment and items that belonged directly to the trading center itself, and equipment and items sold by the demon hunters themselves.
Long Haochen started by looking at the goods sold by the trading center. He planned to choose a close-fitting inner armor for Cai’er first. Cai’er’s weapon didn’t need to be replaced at all; her dark golden dagger with armor-piercing abilities was already Glorious-level equipment. She could also use the Sword of Samsara in her left hand at any time, and whether to add a weapon could be discussed. But defense had always been Cai’er’s weak point.
Seeing him come to the counter, a staff member of the trading center immediately came up to him and respectfully said, “Hello, how can I help you?”
Long Haochen thought for a moment and said, “I want to buy a Glorious-level inner armor for assassins, as well as accessories suitable for assassins.”
The staff member nodded and said, “Please wait a moment.” With that, he turned and went into the inner room. After a while, he came out with a thick book.
“Honored demon hunter, I have just checked, and there are a total of four inner armors and three accessories on this floor that meet your requirements. Please choose.”
As he spoke, he opened the thick book and turned to the specified page. There was a detailed introduction to the inner armors and accessories.
Long Haochen held Cai’er’s small hand and watched the introduction while writing it in her palm.
The four inner armors each had their own characteristics, with different focuses. The first one was mainly to increase spiritual power, but it was suitable for assassins with fire attributes. It was inlaid with fire attribute gemstones.
Cai’er’s attribute was very special. She didn’t have ordinary elemental attributes, accurately speaking, it should be killing attributes, or even death attributes. This was the change the Sword of Samsara had made to her. This kind of inner armor with elemental attributes was obviously not suitable for her.
Among the other three, one was the same and was directly abandoned.
Of the last two, one enhanced defense and could release body-protecting spiritual power close to the body, with defense comparable to elemental shields. It also came with a skill called “Fortify”, and the chest, abdomen, and back vital points protected by the inner armor could withstand three attacks from a sixth-order powerhouse without being damaged.
The other was more inclined towards the assassin’s attack. It had a strong spirit-gathering effect. Although this was the only enhancement, it could become a Glorious equipment, which showed how strong its spirit-gathering effect was. At least, it could increase the assassin’s attack power by 20% to 30%.
After Long Haochen told Cai’er about the function of the two pieces of equipment, the two had a difference of opinion. Long Haochen naturally preferred the Strong Armor with good defense, while Cai’er wanted to choose the Spirit-Gathering Armor more.
Because Cai’er couldn’t hear or speak, the communication between the two could only be achieved by constantly writing on the palm of her hand. While they were arguing, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind them.

“Excuse me, are you Commander Long Haochen?”
Long Haochen subconsciously turned around and saw a young man behind him. Of course, this young man was much older than him, looking about twenty-seven or eight years old.
The young man was tall, a head taller than Long Haochen. Although Long Haochen had not yet fully developed, he was already close to 1.8 meters tall, which meant that this young man was almost as tall as Sima Xian.
But he didn’t have Sima Xian’s sturdy aura. His shoulders were wide, his back was broad, and his waist was straight, with a hint of gentleness and refinement.
Standing with Long Haochen, it was a bit difficult to call him handsome, but this one could definitely be said to have a loyal appearance. His face was slightly round, his eyes were soft, and he gave people a feeling of honesty and reliability at first glance.
“Hello, are you?” Long Haochen asked with some doubts.
The young man said sincerely, “I am the commander of the Major-General-level 8th Demon Hunter Squad, my name is Zhang Fangfang. Hello to you both. Commander Long, can I have a few words with you?”
Hearing the words “Major-General-level 8th”, Long Haochen frowned subconsciously. Three months had passed, was this guy here to make trouble today? But it was no wonder, that was after all 100,000 merit points! No one could stay calm.
“So it’s Commander Zhang, hello, I’m Long Haochen. Please speak.” Although Long Haochen had some thoughts in his mind, his attitude was very polite. No matter what grievances there were between the two sides, they were all demon hunters after all.
Zhang Fangfang said, “I am here today to apologize to Commander Long. You guys, come here.” The last sentence was shouted behind him. In that instant, a slightly stern majesty appeared on his simple and honest face.
Two people came to Zhang Fangfang reluctantly. Seeing Long Haochen, the faces of these two were really ugly. Wasn’t it the fifth and sixth members of the Major-General-level 8th Demon Hunter Squad?
Zhang Fangfang gave them a look, and the two bowed slightly to Long Haochen. The fifth member said with a bitter smile, “Sorry, Commander Long, we shouldn’t have deceived you. We were wrong, and we guarantee that this will not happen again in the future, please forgive us.”
Long Haochen shook his head and said, “The matter is already in the past. Moreover, you guys suffered the loss, how can I let the two of you apologize?”
Zhang Fangfang said, “No, we must apologize. I originally wanted to bother Commander Long a long time ago, but I saw a sign saying ‘Closed Training’ hanging at the door of your villa, so I waited until now. Regarding the merit points they lost, it was well-deserved. But this is also my fault for not managing them well. As the commander, I am duty-bound. I apologize again to Commander Long.” As he spoke, he also bent down and saluted Long Haochen, and he was more serious than the fifth and sixth members, bowing at a full 90-degree angle.
With this attitude, Long Haochen’s impression of the Major-General-level 8th Demon Hunter Squad suddenly changed a lot. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Fangfang, and said, “Commander Zhang, please don’t do this. This matter is already in the past.”
Zhang Fangfang straightened up and sighed, “Speaking of which, I’m not afraid of Commander Long laughing, our demon hunter squad is probably one of the unluckiest in the history of the demon hunter squads. In the beginning, not long after we formed the squad, we encountered a case of being deceived by a senior demon hunter squad, just like what they did. We were scammed out of a very important 5,000 merit points, and that time almost caused our squad to collapse. Later, we finally got back on track, but this kind of thing happened again. To be honest, there were several times when I wanted to give up the position of commander. But after spending a long time with my partners, everyone has feelings for each other. How can you just give up? What you don’t want done to yourself, don’t do to others. I have already taught them a lesson.”
Long Haochen suddenly understood, so they had also been deceived. Although he had a bad impression of the fifth and sixth members, this Commander Zhang made him feel good.
If it were him, he might have returned the merit points he won, but he was now the commander of a demon hunter squad and had to consider the interests and ideas of his partners, so he naturally couldn’t say such a thing.
