Chapter 1310 The Value of the Soul-Catching Pearl
"The soul weapons in the hall on this floor are all low-level soul weapons. I think they are not worthy of your attention. Are you looking for some high-level soul weapons?"
"That's right." Xiao Lin did not hide his intentions and replied.
"Please follow me to the second-floor private room, and I will introduce some high-quality soul weapons sold by Wanhun Trading Company to you, how about that?"
Xiao Lin nodded, and the woman went to the second floor first after saluting.
Xiao Lin followed her up to the second floor and entered a private room on the left. The room was elegantly furnished and dignified, and it also carried a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.
After Xiao Lin sat down, the woman smiled and said, "Senior, this should be your first time to visit our Wanhun Trading Company, right? I have been the manager here for thousands of years, and I know almost all the customers, but this is the first time I have seen you."
"Xiao has always practiced in the Desolate Sea, and this is indeed the first time I have come to the Broken Stone Sea."
"That's right. In the entire Star Sea, when it comes to soul weapons, only a few forces in our Broken Stone Sea sell the best quality and the highest grade, so there are also many people who come to us from other places, especially seniors who are at the peak of the Refining Void Stage. I think they are also preparing to impact the Fusion Stage, right?"
Xiao Lin's face darkened when he heard this, and he did not speak.
"Please forgive me for asking too many details. We, Wanhun Trading Company, are open for business, so naturally we put customers first. I wonder if you know anything about Horcruxes?"
"Oh? Is there anything special about Horcruxes that I don't know? Manager Chao, please tell me. I'm all ears."
When Chao E heard this, a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes. The person in front of her was obviously wary of her previous questioning. She didn't know whether he knew about Horcruxes.
However, his previous words were also tentative, because the Horcruxes used to resist the heavenly tribulation during the impact of the fusion period were somewhat different from ordinary Horcruxes. The reason why she tested him was to know the real needs of this person so that she could introduce a suitable Horcrux to him. She didn't expect that her good intentions would be misunderstood.
"Senior, you misunderstood. Under normal circumstances, soul weapons are divided into two categories, defensive soul weapons and offensive soul weapons. In fact, there are several other categories, such as psychedelic soul weapons and auxiliary soul weapons. Most cultivators need soul weapons to defend against the spiritual attacks of high-level cultivators and to attack the enemy. After all, spiritual attacks can have unexpected effects."
"Of course, there are also many high-level cultivators who want to impact their realms, especially after advancing to the fusion stage. Many heavenly tribulations contain the power of the rules of heaven and earth to attack the souls of cultivators. This reflects the importance of soul weapons. Although this type of soul weapon is also classified as a defensive soul weapon, it has another name, that is, the soul weapon that protects against tribulations."
"Soul weapon that protects against tribulations?" Xiao Lin's expression eased a little after hearing this, knowing that he had misunderstood the woman before.
"Yes, although the calamity-controlling soul weapon is also classified as a defensive soul weapon, it is the top among defensive soul weapons in terms of price, difficulty in refining, and rarity."
"I see, does your Wanhun Trading Company have this kind of calamity-controlling soul weapon for sale? As long as the quality is good, the price is not a problem."
Xiao Lin killed four immortal killers, and naturally accepted all the wealth they had plundered for many years. When Xiao Lin counted the number of spirit stones in the star rings of the four people, even he was shocked.
The spirit stones in the star rings of these four immortal killers were of the highest quality at the lowest. In addition, there were top-quality spirit stones and first- and second-level immortal spirit stones. In total, there were 70 to 80 billion low-quality spirit stones.
This amount was something Xiao Lin had never had before. You should know that when Xiao Lin had the most spiritual stones, it was only converted into 10 to 20 billion low-grade spiritual stones. In addition to spiritual stones, Xiao Lin also found a large number of rare materials, various talismans, spiritual pills, and even many secret books from the four people's star rings. Killing these four people made Xiao Lin feel like he had seized all the wealth of a medium-sized or large sect.
This made Xiao Lin even feel hot in his heart, thinking whether he should find more killer immortals. Killing them would be much faster than selling some spiritual pills to earn spiritual stones.
Of course, Xiao Lin was just thinking about it. He would not do such a thing. The great immortal path, the original intention remains the same. Xiao Lin's inner persistence has never been broken through.
After advancing to the peak of the refining void, Xiao Lin went in and out of some large commercial houses, and gradually realized that the spiritual stones purchased by high-level cultivators at his level were basically out of the level of low-grade and medium-grade spiritual stones.
This kind of spiritual stones is basically not valued by the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm. High-level cultivators usually use the upper-grade and top-grade spiritual stones to calculate the price of items. Moreover, Xiao Lin has also heard that the prices of items exchanged between the ancestors of the Tribulation Crossing Stage and the Mahayana Stage are all calculated in immortal spiritual stones.
All the spiritual stones Xiao Lin has now added up, converted into immortal spiritual stones, are roughly equivalent to more than a thousand first-grade immortal spiritual stones, which is already a considerable fortune.
Chao E heard this, her eyes lit up, and her heart was also happy. The tone of the customer in front of her was so loud that she actually felt a sense of excitement.
Soul weapons are a different kind of magic weapon, and their prices are far higher than those of the same level magic weapons. Those who can afford soul weapons are all wealthy people, mostly high-ranking officials of some large sects, or direct descendants of some large cultivation families, or those independent cultivators who have great opportunities.
The tone of the person in front of her seemed to be no less than these people. Chao E even suspected that the person in front of her might be a high-ranking official of a large force in the Desolate Sea.
After all, it is still very rare to say that the price is not a problem when buying soul weapons.
"Then wait a moment, senior. I will go to the warehouse to get some soul weapon introductions and let you choose one."
After Xiao Lin nodded, Chao E moved her lotus steps lightly and turned to leave the box.
After a cup of tea, Chao'e returned to the box with a few thick animal skins in her hands. She first placed the animal skins on the table, and then smiled at Xiao Lin: "Senior Xiao, you have been waiting for a long time. These soul weapons were all refined by our Wanhun Trading Company in the past two years. Because the refining process of soul weapons is extremely complicated and the materials are extremely rare, the number of soul weapons shipped each year is very rare, especially the entry-level soul weapons, which can't be shipped three pieces a year. Of course, this is still our Wanhun Trading Company. Those smaller soul weapon-selling companies may not be able to ship even one piece?"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised when he heard this. In the world of immortal cultivation, the demand for magic weapons by immortal cultivators is undoubtedly the first, so the refining of magic weapons has basically formed a huge industry, and the magic weapons refined in batches each year are also an astronomical figure.
Since soul weapons are also a special kind of magic weapons, Xiao Lin originally thought that they were the same as magic weapons, especially large companies like Wanhun Trading Company, which is known as one of the four major soul weapon production forces in Wanhun City. It can only produce about three entry-level soul weapons every year. This number is indeed a bit rare.
Xiao Lin flipped through them.
The first one [First-level soul weapon-Thunder Shield] can resist the heart thunder tribulation, a three-effect effect, and can also absorb part of the spiritual consciousness attack, which can play a good protective effect on the soul. The price is thirty first-level fairy spirit stones.
The second one [First-level soul weapon-Exorcist Card] can resist the invasion of the heart demon, a three-effect effect, and can resist the magic power of the magic way soul-stealing magic sound, which can ensure that it is not invaded by the magic power of soul-stealing and soul-stealing. The price is thirty first-level fairy spirit stones.
The third item [First-level Soul Tool - Calming Mind Tablet] can calm the mind and stabilize the soul. It has three functions, which can greatly enhance the concentration of one's mind and ensure that it is not disturbed by the outside world. The price is thirty first-level fairy spirit stones.
......
Xiao Lin looked at seven or eight soul tools in succession. Although these soul tools are all entry-level soul tools, and they are somewhat effective in resisting the heavenly tribulation of the inner demon, this effect cannot satisfy Xiao Lin.
The heavenly tribulation of the fusion stage is extraordinary. If you are not careful, you will face the end of the body and soul being destroyed. Xiao Lin will naturally not joke with his life to save some spirit stones.
Xiao Lin was silent, put down the animal skin in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I wonder if there are any higher-grade soul tools for sale?"
Chao E heard this, and some surprise appeared in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Is Senior Xiao not satisfied with these first-grade soul tools? We have a few second-grade soul tools in Wanhun Trading Company, but the price is a bit expensive, because in order to refine soul tools above the second level, you need more than two soul beads, and the number of soul beads is very rare. Moreover, Chao E heard that the soul beads are not things from the spirit world. They can only be produced by a strange tree growing at the passage between the netherworld and the human world. Not only does it contain extremely strong soul power, but it is also a high-quality magic tool for preserving souls."
"So the price of soul tools above the second level is often above hundreds of first-grade fairy stones, and this price has exceeded the affordability of most cultivators."
Although Chao E felt that the person in front of him was wealthy, she did not think he could afford a second-grade soul tool.
Usually only the core personnel of super-large companies have the financial resources to buy a second-level soul weapon. The person in front of him is definitely not worth that much.
When Xiao Lin heard about the two-eyed soul-grabbing bead, his heart moved, but his expression did not change at all.
Instead, he fell silent. After a long time, he frowned and asked, "Manager Chao just mentioned the two-eyed soul-grabbing bead. What is this soul-grabbing bead? Is it necessary to refine a soul weapon?"
Upon hearing this, Chao E smiled and said, "It seems that the senior is not familiar with the process of refining a soul weapon. A soul weapon is a kind of magic weapon against the sky. The soul is illusory. Although we have seen the Yuanshen of the immortal cultivators, wandering in the world and entering the Qingming in the form of Yuanying, no one has seen the real soul. It is rumored that the Netherworld is a place that carries the souls of living people. It is a world of its own. It is even said that the Netherworld is a world that even true immortals find difficult to set foot in. There are some connecting places between the Netherworld and countless mortal worlds."
"It is said that this place is connected by a Yellow Spring Road. This Soul-Snatching Pearl, also known as the Soul-Snatching Fruit, is the fruit of a strange tree on the Yellow Spring Road. It contains powerful soul power. If you want to refine a soul weapon with various powers to resist spiritual attacks, you need this Soul-Snatching Pearl as the main material, combined with hundreds of auxiliary materials, and refined through special processes to refine a soul weapon."
"Since the netherworld is illusory, then this Yellow Spring Road is naturally unseen by anyone. But the strange thing is that the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. There are creatures who accidentally enter this Yellow Spring Road and pick it by chance. The soul-grabbing fruit grown on the strange trees was brought back to the spirit world successfully, so the number of soul-grabbing fruits in the spirit world is very rare, and the value of a soul-grabbing fruit almost accounts for more than 50% of the price of a soul weapon. This is why the output of soul weapons is so small and the price is so expensive. "
Xiao Lin was happy in his heart. He thought of the many soul-grabbing beads he had in his hand. These soul-grabbing beads were obtained by him when he accidentally entered the Lesser Senluo Realm in the Mortal Realm. He originally knew that the soul-grabbing beads were the materials for refining soul weapons, but he did not expect that the soul-grabbing beads were actually the necessary materials for refining soul weapons.
And only soul-grabbing beads with good grades can refine soul weapons with good grades. He did not know what grades the soul-grabbing beads in Xiao Lin's hand were.
However, Xiao Lin did not say that he had soul-grabbing beads in his hand. If the soul-grabbing beads were indeed the necessary materials for refining soul weapons, then once the soul-grabbing beads in his hand were known by others, they would inevitably become hot potatoes and be remembered by many people. Xiao Lin would naturally not do such a stupid thing.
Although Wanhun Trading Company has second-level soul weapons for sale, it still cannot meet Xiao Lin's requirements. What Xiao Lin wants to buy is a third-level soul weapon that can resist the heavenly tribulation.
But when he heard Chao E say that a second-level soul weapon would cost hundreds of first-level fairy stones, he was really surprised. You know, he only has about a thousand first-level fairy stones in his hand, and this is after he killed four immortal killers and made a fortune. Before that, he didn't even have enough fairy stones to buy a second-level soul weapon.
"Xiao wants to buy a third-level soul weapon. I wonder if your company has it?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin directly stated his purpose.
Chao E heard this and showed a surprised expression on her pretty face.
"Senior, you are joking. A third-level soul weapon requires a three-eyed soul-grabbing bead to be refined. This three-eyed soul-grabbing bead is extremely rare. Our Wanhun Trading Company has only acquired two or three of them over the years. Moreover, most of the third-level soul weapons that have been refined have been taken away by several chief elders in our trading company. Even those cultivators in the Fusion Stage or even the Tribulation Stage will be very interested in third-level soul weapons."
"Oh? Then Xiao is a little surprised. The heavenly tribulation that needs to be experienced when advancing from the Void Refining Stage to the Fusion Stage can directly attack the cultivator's mind. After Xiao's understanding, only a third-level soul weapon can resist it. Could it be that the other peak cultivators of the Void Refining Stage directly use first- and second-level soul weapons to resist the heavenly tribulation of the Fusion Stage?"
