Although Wang Baole was immersed in refining a second-grade Dharma artifact, as the head of the inspectors, there were many things that he did not need to investigate. Some of his quick-witted subordinates in the inspection team immediately relayed the news to Wang Baole.
"Combat Pavilion Tournament?" After receiving the voice transmission, Wang Baole, who was studying how to refine the scabbard, raised his head in surprise. To the senior disciples of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, they were very familiar with the Combat Pavilion Tournament. However, Wang Baole had only been on Upper Academy Island for a short period of time. Out of curiosity, he could not help but ask.
His subordinate from the inspector team immediately explained. Gradually, Wang Baole gained a better understanding of the Combat Pavilion Tournament.
In reality, the Combat Pavilion was considered an extremely powerful force on the entire Upper Academy Island. Furthermore, their daily cultivation and missions were extremely important. They dealt with all sorts of confidential matters in the outside world. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were a sharp knife in Ethereal Dao College.
At the same time, in terms of combat strength, the killing power of the Combat Pavilion disciples was obviously higher than that of the other pavilions. Therefore, most of the time, the disciples of the Combat Pavilion were referred to as combat cultivators on Upper Academy Island.
Therefore, in terms of resources, they were often several times more than the other pavilions. Especially after completing a mission, the one-off rewards were enough to make the disciples of the other pavilions extremely envious.
As a result, even though the disciples of the Combat Pavilion often faced danger, they still had ample pockets. However, since they were combat cultivators, they naturally needed to be sharpened at all times. Thus, the Combat Pavilion held five major competitions every year. These competitions were for the disciples of the first to fifth levels of the True Breath Realm.
The annual Combat Pavilion Tournament was a major event for the other pavilions and the entire Ethereal Dao College. Everyone placed great importance on it.
Every year, there would even be officials from the Federation and military personnel who would come to watch the tournament. They wanted to find good seedlings and decide on future appointments and recruits in advance. It was also because of the importance of the outside world that the tournament was even more important to the disciples of the Combat Pavilion. Even the results would be recorded and would be handsomely rewarded.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was the Alchemy Pavilion, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, or the Array Runes Pavilion, the disciples who focused on support would strike it rich. After all, the more the disciples of the Combat Pavilion valued the tournament, the more they would need to equip themselves. This meant that they needed Dharmic artifacts, Numinous treasures, pills, and array formations.
The normal items given out by the Upper Academy Island naturally could not satisfy the needs of the Combat Pavilion disciples for the tournament. Therefore, they had to purchase them privately from other pavilions. Therefore, for many years there was a popular saying among the disciples of the support pavilions.
"The day of the Combat Pavilion Grand Competition will be the day we strike it rich!"
That was not the end of it. If that was the case, the other pavilions would not be deeply involved, and there would be a sense of separation between them and the Combat Pavilion. At the same time, it would not be in line with the Ethereal Dao College's plans for the disciples' cultivation.
The Combat Pavilion's disciples had had had a Dao cultivate cultivate cultivate cultivating cultivating cultivating Dao had Dao, the Dao's disciples's a ', and required the disciples disciples's to support to work to support.
Therefore, the Combat Pavilion Tournament that was held once a year seemed to be a competition for the Combat Pavilion, but in reality, that was not the case. There was a rule in the tournament, and that was that the participating disciples had to find a partner to form a team with and assist them in the tournament.
They could find the Alchemy cultivators of the Alchemy Pavilion, the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, the Array Runes Pavilion, or the Beast Taming Pavilion. Even if they could not find a partner, they could still find a partner from the Combat Pavilion. In fact, if they could not find a partner at the end of the tournament, the Dao College would even assign a person to participate in the tournament.
As such, the Combat Pavilion Tournament affected all the pavilions. It was also because of this that the officials of the Federation and the military would watch the tournament, making it a major event for the entire Ethereal Dao College.
After knowing the details and rules of the Combat Pavilion Tournament, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. Although he did not spend any money on creating Spirit Stones, he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth and could be considered a tycoon on the Lower Academy Island.
However, after coming to the Upper Academy Island, the previous hundred perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts had almost depleted his savings. Now that he had to refine a second-grade perfect Dharmic Artifact, the cost was even more shocking. Even he could not support it.
Unless he stopped refining and spent all his time refining Spirit Stones, he might be able to replenish his savings after a period of time. However, that would be a waste of time, and this gave Wang Baole a headache.
As for his gains from the Spirit Breath Village, he did not know why the sect had not sorted them out and distributed them to him. Wang Baole could not wait any longer. Now that he heard his subordinate mention the Combat Pavilion's tournament, he immediately felt that it was an opportunity.
"The other disciples of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion would refine Dharmic Artifacts and sell them. Then, they would use the Spirit Stones from the sale to continue their research and cultivation, forming a virtuous cycle. I should do the same too!" Wang Baole agreed. Therefore, he took out a portion of the Dharmic Artifacts from his own Dharmic Artifact. After recording the data and photos, he logged into the Spiritual Intranet and posted a notice for sale.
During this period of time, the Spiritual Intranet on Upper Academy Island was extremely lively. There were posts selling Dharmic Artifacts, elixir pills, and array formations everywhere. There were even Combat Pavilion disciples looking for battle assistants.
As for the price of his Dharmic Artifacts, Wang Baole felt that he could not be too greedy after making a comparison. Therefore, he set the price at ten times the cost. In fact, this was already considered very cheap. He saw many disciples of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion selling their Dharmic Artifacts on the Spiritual Intranet. The prices were outrageous, and most of them were more than ten times the cost. The higher prices were more than fifty to a hundred times the cost. It was extremely exaggerated.
"Too greedy!" Wang Baole lamented. He felt that there were not many good people like him in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. At the same time, he was glad that he had chosen the Dharmic Armament faculty.
"After selling these Dharmic Artifacts, they should be enough to support me until the sect distributes the rewards for my gains in the Spirit Breath Village." Wang Baole pondered for a while and felt that there was no problem. Therefore, he continued to study the method of refining the scabbard.
Gradually, three days passed. Wang Baole felt that he had completely understood the first step of refining the scabbard. Just as he was about to attempt to refine the scabbard, he realized with frustration that no one was interested in the Dharmic Artifacts on the Spiritual Intranet.
It would have been fine if no one was buying them. However, Wang Baole searched and realized that many of the Dharmic Artifacts that were not as good as his but were much more expensive had been bought by others. He was a little surprised.
"Are these people blind? Are they stupid but rich? Could it be that they only buy the expensive ones? " Wang Baole frowned and decided to raise the price. After setting it at seventeen to eighteen times the cost, he began to refine the Spirit Stone for the scabbard. Very quickly, a few days passed. The refining of the Spirit Stone for the scabbard was not easy. Wang Baole failed a few times before finally refining it.
Looking at the scabbard shaped Spirit Stone, Wang Baole was very satisfied. He had increased the price of the Dharmic Artifacts on the Spiritual Intranet, and it was indeed effective. More people were looking at it. At that moment, while Wang Baole was checking, someone even sent him a voice transmission. However, when Wang Baole excitedly opened the voice transmission ring and heard the words coming from it, he was instantly enraged.
"Junior Brother, the eleven Dharmic Artifacts that you put up for sale have a fixed price of two hundred Spirit Stones. Are you selling them!?"
"Two hundred Spirit Stones? This is daylight robbery. There are seven perfect-grade first-grade Dharmic Artifacts and four perfect-grade second-grade Dharmic Artifacts. You are only offering two hundred? " Wang Baole was angry. He felt that there was something wrong with the other party's head. The price he offered was far from the cost.
"Not selling? Then forget it. There are so many Dharmic Armament cultivators in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, and many of them are reputable. Who would believe that your perfect-grade second-grade Dharmic Artifacts are so powerful? Why don't you give me one? If it works after I try it, I will make up the price for you. "
"Go away, I'm not selling!" Wang Baole glared at him and immediately closed the voice transmission ring. He began to inscribe Inscriptions on the Spirit Stone that he had refined.
However, the difficulty of this step was even greater than refining the Spirit Stone. It required a full understanding of the structure of the Inscriptions. Although Wang Baole had learned high-level Inscriptions on Upper Academy Island and was already very skilled when combined with his formulas, he still failed many times at this step.
After another five days, the Spirit Stone for the scabbard in front of Wang Baole cracked and became scrap due to the instability of the Inscriptions. Wang Baole's brows were tightly knitted together.
"This thing is too difficult to refine. Spirit Kernels are already so difficult. Also, in the forging materials later on, I need a material called Armament Sand. What is Armament Sand?" Wang Baole had a headache. He did a simple search. Although he did not find any records regarding Armament Sand, his progress in refining had not reached the forging materials yet. He had stopped at the Inscriptions and Spirit Kernels.
"I can't go on like this …" Wang Baole thought for a while and did not continue refining the scabbard. Instead, he turned his head and continued to refine perfect-grade second-grade Dharmic weapons. He planned to use his familiarity with second-grade Dharmic weapons to improve his grasp of Inscriptions.
Time passed day by day. There were still five days before the major competition. As Wang Baole refined the perfect-grade second-grade Dharmic weapons, he also refined his own Dharmic weapons. After many of them reached the level of perfect-grade second-grade, he added many more Inscriptions to them. Especially the beads of the Golden Bell Shield. Not only were they perfect-grade second-grade, they were also filled with anti-shock Inscriptions to imitate the force of the Spirit Tide.
At this time, Wang Baole helplessly discovered that his pockets were empty …
This was the first time he had been empty-handed since entering Ethereal Dao College. Wang Baole was a little flustered. He logged onto the Spirit Intranet in annoyance and discovered that there was still no one who wanted to buy his Dharmic weapons. Although there were people who wanted to talk to him in the voice transmission ring, the prices they offered did not reach Wang Baole's bottom line.
"Something's not right!" Seeing this, Wang Baole could not help but think about it. As he browsed through the Spirit Intranet, his eyes showed that he was deep in thought. Gradually, he saw that the other sellers were different from him.
They often had their own brand effect. There were even a few who, as soon as they put up their elixirs or Dharmic weapons, would be crazily snatched up by people. There were also some who, although not as exaggerated, were still very popular. Moreover, no matter how ridiculous the price was, people would still buy it.
Similarly, there were also many newcomers like him who did not have a good reputation or brand. There were very few inquiries, and the price kept dropping …
"They can't be trusted." Wang Baole suddenly had a headache. He began to consider the trial that the previous seller had mentioned. If things went smoothly, the other party would compensate him with Spirit Stones after using it. At the same time, more people would see the difference and come to him to buy it.
However, such a matter was equivalent to the other party having the initiative. If the process did not go smoothly, it would be very troublesome. Wang Baole had a strong personality. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to give the initiative to others.
At this moment, after thinking about it, he scratched his head. His expression was resolute as he slapped his thigh.
