The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 294: Chapter 290: Buddha’s Light Miracle_3

The spectating ghosts looked at each other, yet no one spoke up.

“Hey, don’t stall for time here. If you don’t have enough Immortal Jade, you just don’t. You want me to wait here for an hour while you raise money? Everyone is quite busy.” The Bull Headed Ghost grumbled.

As the man in the gray robe was about to say something, his gaze fell on Shen Luo standing outside, which brightened his eyes.

“Friend Tian, I wonder if you could help me a bit. I will surely compensate you later.” This person hesitated, but eventually walked over and addressed Shen Luo.

“There’s no need for compensation, we come from the same place and should help each other.” Shen Luo waved his hand, took out nine Immortal Jade and handed it over.

Gratitude flashed in the gray-robed man’s eyes. He thanked Shen Luo, accepted the jade and placed it on the small stall. The old ghost in the black robe, seeing the jade in front of him, could hardly keep his joy hidden from his withered face.

“You did say that as long as I can offer more than forty Immortal Jade, this item would be mine.” The man in the gray robe cast a glance at the Bull Headed Ghost and picked up the stone.

The Bull Headed Ghost glared at the man in the gray robe but did not prevent him from taking the stone. He snorted, took back his jade and walked away with big strides.

Seeing that there was no more excitement, the nearby ghosts dispersed. The old ghost in the black robe disappeared into the crowd swiftly, presumably to avoid any chance of the gray-robed man having a change of heart.

However, before many ghosts departed, they deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the man in the gray robe and the gray stone in his hand, their expressions complex.

Forty-one pieces of Immortal Jade could already buy a mid-grade magical tool. Now, they were used to buy a gray stone, leaving everyone wondering about its actual use.

The man in the gray robe pocketed the stone, signaled Shen Luo, and walked briskly towards the direction of the shops.

Shen Luo understood the hint and quickly followed.

The two of them mingled into the crowd around the shops, weaving in and out of the stores. Only after they were sure they had shaken off anyone paying attention to them did they stop in a deserted alley.

“Thanks for your help just now, Daoist friend. As for the nine Immortal Jade, would you prefer to be repaid with talismans, or should I sell the talismans to repay you with the jade?” The man in the gray robe again thanked Shen Luo and took out two talismans.

“These two talismans are quite good, but I don’t need them. It would be better if you exchange them for jade to repay me.” Shen Luo replied.

“As you wish.” The gray-robed man immediately nodded.

Through this event, there was a noticeable improvement in their relationship.

“I’m curious about what that stone is. It must be a valuable treasure if you were willing to buy it at such a high price.” Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but his curiosity got the better of him and he asked.

The man in the gray robe looked at Shen Luo, his gaze a little uncertain.

“I was just asking casually. If you find it inconvenient, you can ignore my question.” Seeing this, Shen Luo smiled and spoke.

“Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be shared. And besides, if it were not for your help, it would’ve been impossible for me to get this item. It is only right and proper for me to clear up your confusion.” The man in the gray robe let out a soft sigh of relief, his gaze relaxed and spoke comfortably.

“This item is called Shadowless Jade, a rare treasure from the Ghost World, indeed one that money cannot buy. I was in urgent need of it.” He paused slightly before continuing, at the same time, he took out the gray stone and lowered it to the ground.

Shen Luo showed a surprised expression and let out an astonished exclamation.

In the well-lit valley, light shone into the small alley, but there was no trace of a shadow beneath the stone.

“Indeed it casts no shadow, but only the absence of a shadow under light doesn’t seem to constitute a rare treasure. Does it have other powers?” Shen Luo quickly regained his composure and asked.
