Suddenly.

Cheng Buzheng's eyes narrowed, and a crushing sense of loss welled up in his heart.

That shield was actually a high-grade Magic Treasure.

He'd been just one step away!

One step, and he would have gotten a high-grade Magic Treasure.

At the Treasure Pagoda, with his status as a third-tier Honorary Alchemist, he had the authority to purchase two low-grade Magic Treasures.

Previously, because of his limited authority, he could only buy two low-grade Magic Treasures. He had no authority to purchase a mid-grade Magic Treasure at all.

He had originally wanted to buy another low-grade defensive Magic Treasure, but had never found a way to get one!

That wasn't just because he lacked Spirit Stones. There were also very few cultivators left with the necessary authority at the Treasure Pagoda.

If he insisted on buying one, he would have to spend an enormous amount of Honor Points and pay a hefty additional price.
