Preparation!

"How much for these three talismans, boss?"

Xuanyuan pointed at the wooden box.

The Black Robe Man in the corner finally opened his eyes and glanced where Xuanyuan was pointing. His tone was languid. "You've got a good eye, customer. Those are no ordinary items."

"Oh? What makes them special?"

Xuanyuan asked with interest.

"These talismans are called 'Chaos Breath Talismans.'"

The Black Robe Man spoke slowly. "They're top-grade first-tier talismans. Once activated, they can create the illusion of chaotic spiritual energy within a radius of ten zhang for half an hour. In that environment, any sensory spells or Spiritual Sense probes will be severely disrupted, making it difficult to tell what's real and what isn't."

This was practically made for him!

The biggest problem with his plan to act in the city was the possibility that experts from the City Lord's Mansion might be present.

But with these Chaos Breath Talismans, he could create a "signal-blocking zone" around the area where he acted, preventing outsiders from immediately discovering what was really happening inside.

Half an hour was enough time for him to get plenty done.

"Not bad."

Xuanyuan nodded. "How much?"

The price caught Xuanyuan somewhat off guard.

Three of such useful special talismans for only five hundred Spirit Stones?

That was practically giving them away.

Something was off.

Xuanyuan didn't
