Chapter 300: Meteorite Iron and Soul-Swallowing Ants
"Please bring out treasures of sufficient value to exchange for meteorite iron, which can promote the breakthrough of the Soul Devouring Ant!"
The short system prompt made Lin Shiming excited.
You know, his Soul Devouring Ant not only devoured the wind, fire and sand, but also devoured many spirit milk stones, but it was still at the peak of the second level, which really made him a little worried.
Seeing the appearance of meteorite iron at this trade fair, he was naturally very surprised.
If the Soul Devouring Ant can break through, then this trip to Qingyun Market will be the biggest gain.
The Soul Devouring Ant at the peak of the second level already has a great advantage when facing some spirit formations. If it becomes a third-level Soul Devouring Ant, ordinary forbidden formations will be swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
Even in the future, the fourth-level formation will have a certain breakthrough rate.
Just looking around, he didn't know who had the meteorite iron and whether it was big enough.
And what treasure should he use to exchange it.
The biggest variable in bartering is that some cultivators have something, but they are unwilling to come out to exchange, and they will not really tell you what treasures they have.
Your treasure may not be to his liking, or he may need it himself, but you can't get it.
You should know that the material of meteorite iron, when used to refine magic tools, is definitely a top-grade magic tool. Even if it is refined by some fourth-level refiners, it is very likely to be refined into a magic weapon.
Such materials made Lin Shiming hesitate.
It is too difficult to see the meteorite iron from the faces of these cultivators. After all, none of the outstanding patriarchs of each family are just fledgling boys.
The system prompt is too vague.
While Lin Shiming was hesitating, Zhang Haoling's three magic tools were exchanged without a single one left. The top-grade magic tool was exchanged by the late-stage foundation-building cultivator of the Chen family, and the remaining two high-grade magic tools were exchanged by two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation-building.
The foundation-building cultivator of the Chen family also took out three treasures.
A thousand-year-old purple cloud wood heart, a hundred-year-old fire crystal, and a ghost fire eagle spirit beast egg.
In exchange, it was a spiritual pill that could improve cultivation.
When Lin Shiming saw this, he became a little interested, especially the purple cloud wood heart. His secret method of cultivating the spirit of heavenly wood needed wood heart, but he already had two secondary spirit platforms.
He didn't need a new wood heart, but it was good for prevention or for the family treasury.
He exchanged it for a bottle of Mianyang pill.
After getting the purple cloud wood heart, Lin Shiming also understood that ordinary things would probably not be taken out by the cultivators of meteorite iron.
The system prompt also explained this point.
Taking a deep breath, he stood up as the third one.
Lin Shiming also took out three jade boxes.
The three jade boxes were opened one by one.
The first jade box was a jade bottle, and a drop of white spiritual milk was in the jade bottle.
The stopper of the jade bottle was opened a little, and only a rich spiritual energy appeared above the jade bottle, and a group of cultivators couldn't help but inhale.
"Hundred-year spiritual milk!" Many cultivators in the early stage of foundation building suddenly breathed quickly.
A drop of hundred-year spiritual milk can restore all the true essence of a foundation-building cultivator once, which can definitely save lives at critical moments.
You should know that when cultivators fight, they often lack true essence and lose one move.
And with hundred-year spiritual milk, it means twice the true essence, sometimes, it means two more killer moves.
The result may be completely different.
Why Lin Shiming repeatedly stood to the end in the secret realm of the small world has a lot to do with his three spiritual platforms and enough hundred-year spiritual milk. Sometimes, he even used thousand-year spiritual milk.
The price of hundred-year spiritual milk is also very high.
Even Zhang Haoling of the Zhang family is interested.
The second jade box was opened, and it was a pill furnace. This pill furnace was ancient and fragrant, full of spiritual energy, and the spiritual light was bright. Once it was stimulated, it would produce scorching spiritual flames.
The alchemists on the scene were envious.
It was a third-grade top-grade pill furnace, which Lin Shiming got from the Purple Mansion Cave, second only to Lin Shitao's third-grade top-grade pill furnace.
Such a pill furnace is absolutely of great significance to the foundation-building family, and even in some cases, it can improve the alchemy level of a family.
Such a treasure is no worse than the hundred-year spiritual milk!
In fact, in the long run, the pill furnace is better.
And Lin Shiming did not stop and opened the third jade box.
In the jade box was a small black tower. The black tower looked ordinary, like an ordinary magic weapon, but everyone also understood that Lin Shiming took out this treasure and put it at the end without saying anything. It is definitely the most precious existence!
As Lin Shiming stimulated his true essence to enter, countless spiritual lights appeared.
This Black Cloud Tower is Xiao Chen's treasure, a top-grade magic weapon that combines attack, suppression defense, and spell storage. It is a top-grade magic weapon even among the top-grade magic weapons.
The magic weapon is not made of ordinary iron, and the material is obviously extraordinary.
And Lin Shiming actually took out this magic weapon, which shocked the foundation-building cultivators present.
Even the Zhang family is very fond of this Black Cloud Tower at this moment.
Especially Zhang Haogang, this kind of Black Cloud Tower can only be used to the maximum with his physical cultivation strength.
Lin Shiming was a little helpless when he saw this. He naturally didn't plan to take out the Black Cloud Tower. Although the Black Cloud Tower was the most inconspicuous magic weapon among his top-grade magic weapons, it was like a chicken rib to him!
After all, he has the God Grinding Plate, the Heavenly Demon Netherworld Needle, the Corpse Binding Belt Purple Lai Sword, the Laiyun Sword, and the Star Wood Shield.
But it will still cause vibrations. You must know that he is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
But he took out a top-grade magic weapon. You know, even the top-grade magic weapons of the Zhang family are definitely not many. After all, the Zhang family is a big family with more foundation-building cultivators.
And magic weapons of this material are not so easy to find.
And now, these scenes full of calculating greed are revealed.
It is exactly the same as what he guessed in his heart!
However, Lin Shiming still took a deep breath and then said:
"These three treasures can only be exchanged for elixirs or effective secret methods of the same level that can break through the bottleneck of the late foundation-building period!"
As soon as Lin Shiming said this, other cultivators immediately understood why Lin Shiming took it out.
I'm afraid this is Lin Xianzhi's treasure.
And forced to close the dead gate without breaking through, now I have to come out and find ways to break through the late foundation-building period.
While other cultivators had these thoughts, Lin Shiming's eyes became darker and darker.
Although the value of the elixir that breaks through the bottleneck of the late foundation-building period is similar to Lin Shiming's treasure, this world is, after all, based on cultivation, and one's own cultivation is the kingly way.
Otherwise, the foundation-building pill and the Purple Palace Jade Liquid would not be sold at such a high price.
And the pills that can break through the bottleneck of the late foundation-building stage, no one is willing to take them out. Of course, there may be no pills!
As the circle went by, no one spoke up. Instead, many cultivators privately sent messages to Lin Shiming to use other treasures.
But it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one responded.
And Lin Shiming's face became more and more ugly, and the last sigh came out:
"Then change to the longevity pill!"
As soon as the longevity pill came out, the other cultivators shook their heads again.
However, they had a message in their minds, especially the Zhang family, looking at Lin Shiming's gray hair.
It's not so easy to be a registered disciple of Qingxuan Sect.
The meaning expressed in this is somewhat obvious.
"You can also exchange it with the soul-calming stone or meteorite iron!"
After saying that, Lin Shiming sat on the stool with a look of disappointment.
In the eyes of others, this scene is just that the Lin family may have reached the end.
Lin Shiming's potential was exhausted, but it was only because of the strength of the sword cultivator that he was holding on. When Lin Shiming's lifespan was exhausted, other families would be able to surpass the Lin family. In their view, the younger generation of the Lin family was not to be feared. The two cultivators they brought were only at the seventh level of Qi training.
After doing some actions, Lin Shiming was relieved to see that there was no mistake.
If he still couldn't exchange for meteorite iron, he could only shake his head.
But the next moment, Lin Haoling came out.
"What a coincidence, fellow Daoist Lin, I have meteorite iron!" Lin Haoling flipped his hand.
A tray appeared in his hand, and a piece of golden brocade was pulled open, revealing a piece of meteorite iron as big as a stone plate.
This scene also made everyone very excited.
The material of meteorite iron is also extremely precious.
For cultivators, it is quite rare.
Especially the size, which is enough to support the material of a magic weapon.
"Use this meteorite iron to exchange with you for the Black Cloud Tower and the Hundred-Year Spirit Milk!" Zhang Haoling said.
"No, your meteorite iron is big, but my Black Cloud Tower is not an ordinary top-grade magic weapon. Although I can't use it, I can't suffer such a loss!" Lin Shiming shook his head directly.
What Lin Shiming didn't expect was that Lin Haoling touched it again, and it turned out to be a small piece of soul-suppressing stone.
This soul-suppressing stone is not enough to refine half of the soul-suppressing tower, but it is also a big gain for Lin Shiming.
"Add ten more top-grade spirit stones!" Lin Shiming spoke again.
And Lin Haoling didn't refuse, as if he was just saying it for Lin Shiming.
Spiritual stones, soul-suppressing stones, and meteorite iron were all traded.
Lin Shiming was also extremely surprised.
However, his face still looked like he had suffered a great loss.
Lin Shiyi next to him didn't say anything. He felt that Lin Shiming next to him was a little different.
Every time he had this expression, it seemed that he had bought something good.
It was like this when he bought the eggs of the golden-winged mantis before, and it was also the same when he bought the recipe of the beast-raising pill.
Lin Shiming walked down from the stage, and the others also walked up one after another and started to exchange treasures.
Although there are many treasures in Yunzhou, the overall level is still much worse than that held by Xiao Chen before, and there are not many treasures left that can catch his eye.
Some people are happy, and some people are worried.
The trade fair is full of unexpected things, and no one can guarantee that they will really get the treasure they want.
Even Lin Shiming was very guilty before Zhang Haoling stood up.
The trade fair is a barter situation, and it can only be said that there is also some luck, and he has a system prompt.
Otherwise, if he follows the original preparation, it is estimated that he can exchange for a small half of the soul-suppressing stone, which is about the same.
As for the remaining alchemy furnace, Lin Shiming did not exchange it.
He has no shortage of other treasures, and the Lin family also lacks this kind of alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace is different from ordinary magic tools. The difficulty of refining is much more difficult than ordinary magic tools. Otherwise, the Lin family used to have a third-level refiner, but there was no good alchemy furnace.
After the trade fair, half a day had passed.
Lin Haoling frequently made a lot of moves, exchanged a lot of things, and also got a lot of heavenly and earthly spiritual medicines and materials.
This made everyone look a little better.
Lin Shiyi also exchanged for a spiritual medicine for training the spiritual body.
He couldn't help but smile a little silly, and was also impatient.
Only when everyone walked out of the hall did they frown again.
It was called development, but it was a development without the support of Qingxuan Sect, and the danger was extremely great.
But they didn't know why the Chen family and the Lin family agreed so quickly. You know, these two families have backers in the Qingxuan Sect.
In confusion, Lin Shiming took Lin Shiyi back to the Lin family's Lin's Dan Pavilion.
Lin Yuzheng and others were also waiting. Seeing that Lin Shiming and Lin Shiyi returned safely, they were relieved and went about their business.
This time, the family brought a lot of second-level elixirs, and even third-level elixirs. Putting them in the Dan Pavilion, they must be selling well.
It's just that the family now has fewer third-level alchemists, otherwise the Lin family would not sell third-level elixirs only once every few months or even half a year.
Lin Shiming naturally didn't know what Lin Yuzheng was thinking, and he went back to his room directly.
After the soundproofing formation and the spirit-isolating formation were arranged one by one, they entered the cave world.
Under a small hill here, an ant nest has been developed, and 81 spirit-swallowing ants rest in it. Each of them has fangs and really gnaws on the few spirit milk stones and gold iron crystals.
The gold iron crystal was produced by the Shiling Cave of the family, and Lin Shiming also took a lot from the family treasury.
These soul-devouring ants seemed to have sensed Lin Shiming, flapping their star-spotted wings and flying around Lin Shiming, some lying on his shoulders, and some flying directly to Lin Shiming's palm.
The next moment, as Lin Shiming took out the meteorite iron, the soul-devouring ants, as if they had encountered a delicacy, began to gnaw on it in the same way as the previous spirit milk stone.
It was just that the gnaw speed was not fast, and as they gnawed, a series of starlight appeared on the insect body of the soul-devouring ant, and in the distance, the star spirit shell also floated on the spirit pond.
Now that there was no Wang Jiao coming out to roll it, it finally opened its shell and revealed the tentacles inside.
At this moment, it also looked at the meteorite iron and soul-devouring ants here.
Starlight also appeared on the shell.
Lin Shiming didn't expect that the meteorite iron would have a good effect on the star spirit shell.
However, as the eighty-one soul-devouring ants began to eat, the meteorite iron also shrank visibly.
After more than half an hour, the meteorite iron had completely disappeared, and after a trace of joyful expression came from the spiritual consciousness, all the soul-devouring ants drilled into the ground.
They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Lin Shiming's spiritual consciousness probed down, he found that the soul-devouring ants underground actually began to eat each other again.
Lin Shiming did not stop them. The reproduction and evolution of these soul ants seemed to require the nutrition of the same kind.
Or maybe the blood power in their bodies was not enough.
In the end, only nine were left, and the number of soul-devouring ants was directly reduced by nine times.
The nine soul ants also began to cocoon, and when they wake up next time, they may be third-level soul-devouring ants.
This also made Lin Shiming look forward to it.
After the soul-devouring ants were properly dealt with, Lin Shiming found that the wood demon of the Mingxin Tea Tree was actually looking at the small magical tree at this moment.
Just like before, looking at the golden thunder bamboo.
This made Lin Shiming very happy. Could it be that this wood monster was going to evolve again?
