Chen Zhou clearly couldn't understand what the middle-aged vendor valued; he didn't even know what use these items would be to him. Therefore, Chen Zhou wasn't very interested in them and immediately prepared to turn around and enter the formation area.
"You stay here and keep watch. We'll meet at the teleportation array when the time comes," Chen Zhou said slowly. He planned to enter the array area now and take a look. Staying here was just a waste of time, since he didn't understand these esoteric arts anyway.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the middle-aged merchant immediately replied, "Okay."
The middle-aged vendor was completely absorbed in the world of Qimen Dunjia and had no time to pay attention to Chen Zhou. He was focused on the Qimen Dunjia on the shelf. If he could, he would even want to touch or manipulate the Qimen Dunjia directly with his hands.
Unfortunately, these things are not allowed in stores in Shanghai. If these goods could be handled, countless Shanghainese would destroy these weapons, magical artifacts, or even martial arts techniques out of a desire for revenge.
Although some weapons, even those of the Qimen Dunjia (a type of martial arts technique), are difficult to destroy, the techniques themselves are quite simple.
Therefore, the Magic City Store simply implemented this setting: no one can touch anything in the Magic City Store. If you touch something in the Magic City Store through some special means before you have paid for it with Magic Coins, the Magic City Store can automatically identify and judge it, and ultimately you will not escape the ironclad rule of death.
In Shanghai, life seems to be the lowest of things. Here, strength is supreme.
After turning around, Chen Zhou immediately bypassed the weapon area and entered the formation area. Chen Zhou had always been extremely fond of formations, and now, entering this formation area, he inexplicably felt a sense of joy in his body and mind.
The first thing Chen Zhou saw was a series of array diagrams neatly arranged on the shelf. Chen Zhou seemed to be able to feel the arrays beckoning to him. After glancing at the prices of the array diagrams, Chen Zhou was immediately deterred from buying them.
Chen Zhou didn't pay attention to the contents of these formations at first, but instead looked at their prices and found that they were all priced at over 1,000 magic coins!
One array diagram here can be exchanged for several weapons. In the eyes of the middle-aged merchant, this array diagram is the most useless. If he saw the price of this array diagram, he would be scared to death.
Chen Zhou muttered to himself: It seems that this formation is indeed only usable by people of high level in the Magic City. The exchange price is so high.
As Chen Zhou looked at these arrays, he was surprised to find that they all required demonic energy as a foundation, because two small characters were engraved below each array diagram: "Demonic Energy".
In other words, the array diagrams here, in a sense, restrict the energy used for setting up the array to demonic energy. This means that Chen Zhou could have used the power of the Dragon Buddha to set up the array, but because his meridians were blocked, the amount of power he possessed was insufficient to set up an array. Since these arrays were limited to demonic energy, Chen Zhou's power of the Dragon Buddha could not participate in setting up these arrays.
"Wall of Sighs of the Demon Realm... Exchange for 1500 Demon Coins." Chen Zhou suddenly saw an array diagram and silently recalled its function. He suddenly thought that this technique could have a binding effect, and its effect might be comparable to Chen Zhou's Small Binding Array or even the Dragon Imprisoning Array.
Chen Zhou suddenly felt a strong urge to utilize demonic energy, and he immediately wanted to start setting up an array.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhou's current strength simply does not allow him to use demonic energy to set up an array; he is completely incapable of using demonic energy at his current level.
And so, Chen Zhou could only stare blankly at each of the formations, unable to exchange for anything.
In fact, even if Chen Zhou were to exchange for an array diagram now, in the eyes of the middle-aged merchant, it would be a waste of magic coins. He couldn't use it now, so what was the point of exchanging it? Moreover, even if the magic coins of the middle-aged merchant and Chen Zhou were combined, they still wouldn't be enough to exchange for an array diagram in this array diagram area.
Chen Zhou's visit to this Shanghai store was clearly just for browsing; he had no intention of exchanging anything.
The middle-aged merchant was different. In order to follow Chen Zhou into the teleportation channel, he had been trying to prepare some special Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination) to protect himself and even ensure that he could pass through the teleportation channel.
The two had different goals, so naturally they put in different amounts of effort. For example, Chen Zhou was just wandering around aimlessly, looking here and there. He had absolutely no purpose.
"Crimson Lotus Flame Demon Array... Exchange for 3000 Demon Coins".
"Ice and Snow God and Demon Array... Exchange for 3500 Demon Coins".
"Wooden Encircling Magic Array... Exchange for 4000 Magic Coins".
...
Chen Zhou reached the very back of this array area and discovered that the arrays here were more expensive than those at the front, and they were all pure arrays of the four major attributes. Ever since he acquired the Rootless Flame, Chen Zhou believed that the most powerful force in the world was not any other force, but rather these pure natural forces of the four elements.
Wood, water, fire, earth.
Chen Zhou's Rootless Fire belongs to the fire attribute, which is why it is so powerful. As for the wood attribute, it would naturally belong to the "heterogeneous root." The Heterogeneous Root Ranking of Tianyun Continent is not a mere formality; it is based on actual strength.
Take Chen Zhou's poisonous root, for example. Although it doesn't seem very powerful, it actually helped Chen Zhou a lot.
Water element has multiple forms of power, such as water, ice, and snow. These three forms of power are all water element power. The ultimate water element completely restrains the fire element. In other words, Chen Zhou's rootless fire is not that it cannot be extinguished by water, but that ordinary water cannot extinguish the rootless fire. Only water element power of the same level as the rootless fire can have an effect on Chen Zhou's rootless fire.
