Helmet

Chen Mobai decided to stay.

The Sky River Realm is his greatest opportunity, and there is no doubt that he will spend a long time in this world in the future. In this world full of battles and dangers, he certainly cannot keep hiding forever.

This time, guarding Green Light Island will allow him to observe the level of large-scale combat in this world most directly.

Moreover, with the Divine Wood Sect protecting them, such opportunities are rare.

Even if the Divine Wood Sect eventually couldn't hold out and had to retreat via the Teleportation Array, it would definitely cause a huge commotion that couldn't be concealed. He only needs eight seconds to return to the city; he can dig a hole under his wooden hut, and if the island really does collapse, he can hide for eight seconds without any problem.

After leaving Ba Jiang, Chen Mobai first went to the market street on the island, hoping to purchase some magical Magic Artifact Talisman that could increase his combat power. However, he arrived too late; almost everything had already been snapped up.

What remains are either defective products or damaged magical Magic Artifact with greatly reduced power.

As for pills, they were truly sold out. Even Herb, as long as they could be eaten raw and had the effect of restoring spiritual power or healing injuries, were bought up by cultivators who were willing to spend the money.

Needless to say, the shops run by the Divine Wood Sect were closed after the island was sealed off by the higher authorities. All supplies were put under Zheng Deming's control, with some distributed to the sect disciples on the island.

On the other hand, at the street stalls, there were quite a few Rogue Cultivator looking to make a fortune, bringing out items they wouldn't normally dare to sell, and asking for exorbitant prices that were two or three times higher than usual.

Chen Mobai took a fancy to a Spirit Mirror Artifact that combined offense and defense, but the stall owner asked for 80 Spirit Stone, which made him shake his head and leave.

He wandered around and realized he was too poor to go back to his cabin, only to find someone already waiting at the door.

"Steward Wang, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Chen Mobai greeted the man, who was the manager of the Divine Wood Sect who had rented him the wooden house. The latter seemed to have just arrived and was hesitating whether to come later. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Mobai return.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Mobilization Order issued by my Divine Wood Sect. You are a cultivator in the Late Qi Cultivation Refining, so I came here to inform you. I hope you can step in to defend the Spirit Island at this critical moment and lend a helping hand to my sect."

Steward Wang handed a Mobilization Order Magic Seal of the Divine Wood Sect to Chen Mobai. Since the latter had already decided to stay, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"No problem, but I wonder where we can collect these Spirit Stone?"

The conditions for recruiting Rogue Cultivator the island, as stated in the Mobilization Order, were exactly the same as those revealed by Qi Hou: as long as one accepted the summons from the Divine Wood Sect, the reward Spirit Stone for the day would be distributed before each battle.

Such conditions demonstrate a great deal of sincerity.

"If you wish, fellow Daoist, you will belong to my team, and I will distribute the Spirit Stone to you."

Steward Wang's words made Chen Mobai nod in agreement, and he immediately signed the Mobilization Order.

"According to Uncle Zheng's talisman, the first batch of Demon Beast beasts will arrive in about two hours. I still need to go to the other dozen or so Rogue Cultivator to issue Mobilization Order. Please ask Fellow Daoist Chen to gather here in one hour."

After listening, Chen Mobai nodded again, and Steward Wang was very generous, paying 5 Spirit Stone directly.

After all, the Divine Wood Sect's Grand Array has been activated, so even if these Rogue Cultivator wanted to escape, they couldn't, and they weren't afraid that Chen Mobai would go back on his word after taking the Spirit Stone.

But Steward Wang didn't know was that right after he left, Chen Mobai immediately used the Turtle Treasure to return to Earth Origin Star.

Of course, he wasn't running away; he was going to procure supplies for the battle.

At his doorstep, Chen Mobai glanced at the more than two hundred Talisman sent by the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop, then stuffed them into his backpack. Afterward, Chen Mobai made a phone call to Wu Wan.

While there is inflation on Green Light Island, the price of Magic Artifact on Earth Origin Star has remained stable, although Magic Artifact used in combat are unusually expensive.

Unfortunately, crafting powerful magical Magic Artifact requires prior application and approval from the relevant departments of the Immortal Sect. Once approved, the buyer must register the artifact, and each use must be reported. All these factors have caused the price of combat magical Magic Artifact to skyrocket.

However, the crafting of defensive magical Magic Artifact only requires registration, so their value has remained stable.

Chen Mobai felt that in battle, it was best to prioritize safety and survival. Although he had mastered the Water Element Shield and possessed the Wood Shield Talisman and Wood Armor Talisman, he still felt that purchasing another defensive magic Magic Artifact would allow him to participate in the Island Defense War with peace of mind.

"The budget for a defensive magic Magic Artifact is around 80,000 Merit Points."

After clearly stating his requirements in one sentence, Wu Wan, as Grade 1 Appraiser, actually had quite a few resources at his disposal, including three Magic Artifact that met his requirements.

Because of the time constraint, Chen Mobai did not take the bus this time, but instead took a taxi directly to Wu's Gold Shop.

"I only have this one on hand right now. If I need the other two, I'll have to get them from other Cave Heaven Blessed Land."

How long will it take?

"One is from the same city, and it should arrive tomorrow. The other is to be transferred from Weiyu Cave Heaven. If we don't hesitate to use Merit Points points, it can be done in as little as three days."

Within the Immortal Sect, shipping within the same city is free, but shipping from other Cave Heaven Blessed Land lands and grotto-heavens is quite expensive. However, Chen Mobai certainly wouldn't care about that at this moment; it's just that time is of the essence.

So he looked at the defensive Magic Artifact that Wu Wan had taken out of his safe.

This is a Helmet, all gold, and it looks very cool.

"It's a mid-grade first-tier magic Magic Artifact. Wearing it can defend against spells that directly attack the Sea of Consciousness. When I was crafting it, I also included a Spiritual Energy Shield Restriction. If you fill it with spiritual energy beforehand, you can release it once without using your own spiritual energy."

Wu Wan seemed a little reluctant to part with the Helmet as he introduced it.

"Oh, I never expected that it was actually made by Master Wu himself."

Although every Treasure Appraiser harbors a desire to become Artifact Refiner, Wu Wan's words still surprised Chen Mobai.

"Originally, I crafted this Helmet to help enhance my Spiritual Sense during my Foundation Establishment process, since I only managed to acquire the Pulse Protecting Pill and not the Spirit Ascension Powder. Unfortunately, my foundation was still insufficient, and Foundation Establishment Failure. It will take me several more years to reach the Qi Cultivation Perfection. If you need it, I'll sell it to you at a discount."

Although Wu Wan spoke these words in a light and casual tone, Chen Mobai could still hear the sigh in his voice.

For ordinary cultivators of the Immortal Sect like them, the difficulty of Foundation Establishment is comparable to ascending to heaven.

"What price range is Master Wu planning to sell it for?"

"This Magic Artifact is made from refined Gold Essence, so the material cost alone is extraordinary. We've been friends for a long time, so let's give it 100,000 Merit Points."

"That's too expensive. I only have a budget of 80,000 Merit Points."

During this period, Chen Mobai purchased Talisman and supplementary Auxiliary Medicine to Qi Replenishing Spirit Water. Of the 160,000 merit points that Chan Si had originally transferred to him, only half remained. This time, in order to participate in the island defense battle, he did not intend to save any Merit Points points, and the remaining 80,000 Merit Points were his entire fortune.
