The boy was unwilling to accept just like that.

"How come it's only worth a hundred gold coins? She needed nine thousand gold coins for an intermediate spell scroll. An elementary spell scroll should be worth at least a thousand gold coins. How could you cheat people like that?"

The boy knew nothing of the spell scroll market, because he was neither magician nor warrior.

When he entered the spell scroll shop just now, he even pretended to look around for such a long time, until Yun Sheng transacted the intermediate spell scroll at that high price. Only then did he open his mouth.

The spell scroll shop owner wasn't happy either. He realized that the teenager's spell scroll must have come from a bad place.

If you open a spell scroll shop in a Mercenary Acropolis you can't accept goods from unknown origin, and besides, the other party was just an ordinary person who dared to question the vision of a magician.

Any magician, even if he was just a Magic Novice, would know the difference between elementary and intermediate magic!

When advancing from Magic Novice to Magician, one could learn elementary magic from a member in the Magic Temple if they joined them.

The spell scroll that the teenager brought over was only made of the worst quality beast skin, and only recorded earth spikes.

The second elementary spell that Yun Sheng had learned was Earth Spike.

The price of this basic elementary spell was inherently low. A hundred gold coins was already fair.

"Go, go, go, if you're not happy, you don't need to sell it. Get out, don't delay my business," seeing the boss' scowl, the boy was also annoyed, but no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare start anything with a magician.

He angrily grabbed the spell scroll and rushed out of the spell scroll shop.

When Yun Sheng saw this, she followed suit and went out.

After the teenager reached a secluded spot he heard someone follow behind him and became wary.

"It's you, what are you following me for?" The boy looked back and found the "cheated" girl from the shop. Knowing that Yun Sheng was carrying a lot of gold, he couldn't help having some bad thoughts.

He thought about robbing Yun Sheng, but she pulled out her magic scepter and pointed it at him. He immediately stopped his "dangerous" mind.

"This big brother, can I see your spell scroll?" Yun Sheng had stood at the counter and had also seen the spell scroll. For some reason, she had the feeling that this crude looking spell scroll was not as simple as the shop owner said.

Seeing that the other party was interested in his spell scroll, the boy was busy pulling out the spell scroll, saying as he did so, "That boss' eyes are too poor. This scroll must be something good, I've gone through a lot trouble to get it!"

Yun Sheng opened the spell scroll and looked it over.

At first glance, it seemed that the shop owner's decision was not wrong.

The lowest quality beast skin, it could naturally not be used to record any brilliant magic.

The beast blood on it had also long since dried and faded.

Yun Sheng touched the spell scroll with her finger, and her dark eyes flashed with a touch of golden light.

A faint, almost imperceptible magic power emanated from the spell scroll.

This feeling was very familiar to Yun Sheng, dark magic elements.

How could a spell scroll emit dark magic elements? Yun Sheng pondered, but she was certain that this scroll was, at least on the surface, the most basic Earth Spike.

"Well? It's certainly good stuff, it's at least a few hundred years old. Look at the skin, it's still fine, it's not weathered and the handwriting on it, is also still clear," the man had some hope when he saw Yun Sheng's reaction.

"Big Brother, this is indeed the most ordinary spell scroll, it does not have much value in itself, but this scroll is quite old. My father likes to collect such things. If you're willing, I will offer two hundred gold coins for it," Yun Sheng hid her true feelings, she glanced at the boy in front of her.

At the same time, she quietly controlled her dark Magic Soul part.

Through the stimulation, her dark Magic Soul part greatly enhanced her perception of dark magic elements.

As expected, she quickly discovered a large amount of dark magic elements from the boy. An ordinary boy with dark magic elements around him, this was certainly not a good thing.

He had either received a curse from a black magician or he believed in some Forbidden God.

It was obvious that the boy in front of her didn't believe in a Forbidden God, and this only left one possibility. He had received a black magician's curse.

Yun Sheng looked at the soles of his feet. There was some golden wet soil on them.

The kind of soil was most commonly found in the graveyards of Wu Ji Continent, and Yun Sheng finally understood why she perceived dark magic elements on the elementary spell scroll.

A grave robber. The boy in front of her, selling the spell scroll, was a grave robber.

It was likely that he had robbed the tomb of a former black magician and obtained the scroll.

Yun Sheng was right. This boy with tattered clothes was really a grave robber who specialized in stealing from various graves in the border region, where there were only a few guards.

Just the day before yesterday, he had accidentally discovered a grave that looked quite large, but the infuriating thing was that there was nothing of value inside, only this thing that looked like a piece of waste paper.

In the grave robbing business, the biggest taboo was returning empty-handed, so he had no choice but to take the scroll out.

Later on, a fellow grave robber with good eyesight said that it was a spell scroll, which would definitely sell for a lot of money in the market of the Mercenary Acropolis.

He then took the scroll to Inaba Mountain.

It had cost him quite a bit of money to arrive there, and he thought it would be too wasteful to just go back, and two hundred gold coins was double the estimated price.

"Two hundred gold coins it is," the tomb-robber sighed and handed the spell scroll to Yun Sheng.

"Big Brother, if you're free, go pray in the Magic Temple. Your line of work focuses on your hands, so wash your hands in a pot of gold as soon as possible, or else you and your next three generations will suffer," Yun Sheng obtained the spell scroll and faintly reminded the person before her, then conjured a levitation spell and left.

Tomb-raiding, although it was a crime on the eternal rest of the dead, its punishment would not end at death. The only way to solve this was through going to the Magic Temple and praying so the dark magic elements could be cleared. This was all the help she could offer him.

The tomb-raider who was still counting the gold coins was stunned, could it be this little girl had guessed his identity.

He was just about to ask, but when he looked around, the little girl had vanished.

It couldn't be that he saw a ghost, right?

The tomb-raider was so frightened that the gold coins fell to the ground. It was only after a short while that he remembered Yun Sheng's words, grabbed the cold coins, and ran all the way to the Magic Temple of the city.
