In Cantory's opinion, no matter how powerful the Tower of Dusk was in the Breezy Plains, it was just a local force. How could it possibly come up with so much money all at once? Of course, Cantory knew that Lin Li had another identity, and that was the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council. However, the Supreme Council did not belong to him alone, so how could it pay such a huge sum of money for him?
The secret trader also swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and stuttered, "T-sir, are you saying that you want all of them?"
"Yes." Lin Li smiled, and looked at the secret trader. "However, the price will be reduced to 10% according to the price you just quoted."
What!? 10%? The secret trader heard Lin Li's words, and he almost vomited blood. Damn it, 10% of the price isn't even enough to cover the cost. Is this guy joking with me on purpose!?
"Sir, you're joking a little too much. Are you sure you know where this place is? "the secret trader asked in a hostile tone. In fact, it would be the same for anyone else. Although it was said that one could ask for a sky-high price, one could not see any sincerity in buying it at all.
However, Lin Li was not in a hurry at all. He glanced at the box full of Netherworld Pearls, and said, "It seems that you're not very satisfied with this price. What if I add a way for you to enter and leave the Netherworld Sea safely?"
"What!?" The secret trader instinctively felt that it was impossible. In order to enter the Netherworld Sea to explore, he had paid a huge price, and only managed to collect the Netherworld Pearls in the periphery of the Netherworld Sea.
Ever since the formation of the Netherworld Sea, countless people had thought about how to enter it and explore the treasures that had been lost in the ocean war. However, they often ended up becoming the Undead creatures of the Netherworld Sea. Not to mention ordinary people, even Sanctuary powerhouses would not be able to resist the erosion of the death aura in the Netherworld Sea. How could there be a way for people to enter and leave the Netherworld Sea safely?
Cantory, who was at the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. "President Felic, are you joking? I'm afraid you haven't even seen the Netherworld Sea before, and yet you're trying to deceive us with this. If you have the ability, why do you need to look for others to buy Netherworld Pearls? You can just go and pick them yourself! "
Cantory was from the Gilded Kingdom, and was naturally no stranger to the situation in the Netherworld Sea. Even his teacher, the priest of the Illuminati, could not go deep into the Netherworld Sea. Hence, he would never believe that Lin Li had a way to let people enter and leave the Netherworld Sea safely. Moreover, just like what he said, if someone could really treat the Sea of Hades as his own backyard, then why would he take it out and tell others? Wouldn't all the resources in the Sea of Hades belong to him?
However, in the face of doubts, Lin Li seemed to be indifferent, and continued to say to the secret trader, "How about it? Do you want to make this deal?"
Seeing Lin Li's attitude, the esoteric trader couldn't help but waver. In particular, he knew that he was facing a Sanctuary powerhouse, and had also heard of Lin Li's glorious deeds in the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, he couldn't help but consider the possibility of that matter. If he was really able to enter and leave the Netherworld Sea safely, then the benefits he could obtain from it would be too great. After all, the Sea of Fertility didn't just contain the Netherworld Pearls.
"Are you serious?" When he asked that question, the esoteric trader felt that he was being silly, but out of the nature of a businessman, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity, even if it seemed rather absurd.
Lin Li nodded, and nonchalantly said, "The method is very simple, and it doesn't matter if I tell you now. As long as you have some Nether Servant's Blessing Potion, you can completely prevent people from being eroded by the death aura. As for the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion, although it's a relatively unpopular potion, it's not that there aren't pharmacists who can concoct it. "
"Nether Servant's Blessing Potion? I've only heard of potions like Light Blessing, Darkness Blessing, and Elemental Blessing, but I've really never heard of the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion. Even if there is, I'm afraid it should be a curse. Curse living beings to become Undead creatures? " Hearing that Lin Li's so-called solution was actually to use such a strange potion, Cantory couldn't help but mock him with disdain.
The esoteric trader also looked at Lin Li in bewilderment, but he didn't question him directly like Cantory did. Instead, he waited for Lin Li's further explanation.
"The Nether Servant's Blessing Potion will only temporarily transform the user into an Undead creature. Since the user has become an Undead creature, they naturally won't be eroded by the death aura. When the user is exposed to the sun, or when there isn't enough death aura around, the power of the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion will also be quickly melted by the sun, and the user will return to being a living being. "Lin Li didn't even look at Cantory, and simply explained the effects of the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion.
If such an effect were to be used on pure Undead creatures, it would at most be a small increase in strength, and it would be rather useless. When used on living beings, it would only allow them to temporarily possess the aura of Undead creatures, but in fact, it would not really turn them into Undead creatures. For example, Undead creatures would not die as long as their soul fire was not extinguished. However, even if living beings had the aura of Undead creatures, they would still die if their vital parts were injured. After all, it was just a change in aura.
Hence, although the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion was not of a high level, and did not require precious herbs, it was not popular. Facts had proven that things that were not in demand were destined to be eliminated. Soon after the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion was invented, it was completely forgotten.
"Is there really such a potion?" The secret trader was in disbelief. On one hand, he had indeed never heard of such a potion, and on the other hand, he felt that the solution was too simple to be real.
Of course, if the problem of entering and leaving the Netherworld Sea could really be solved, the benefits that could be obtained from it would be far beyond what the Netherworld Pearls could compare to. Hence, despite feeling incredulous, the secret trader still had a glimmer of hope, and waited for Lin Li to come up with more convincing proof.
"You can give it a try," Lin Li said as he flipped his hand, and a transparent and colorless potion appeared in his hand. The Nether Servant's Blessing Potion was used by the new Death Knights of the Tower of Dusk.
The Death Knights that were summoned by the Retribution Knight were often far from being useful in the beginning. Hence, they had to improve their strength as soon as possible. Apart from the effects that Lin Li had mentioned before, the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion could also speed up the absorption of death power by Undead creatures, just like a nutrient solution for Undead creatures.
However, for ordinary Necromancers, they could not get the allegiance of Death Knights, and the other low-level Undead creatures were just consumables. Hence, using the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion to nurture Undead creatures was a little extravagant. Only the Tower of Dusk had Death Knights and could afford to use such a method.
"What a joke, how can there be such a potion!?" Seeing that Lin Li had really taken out a potion, Cantory suddenly recalled his investigation in the Breezy Plains, and found that the potion business seemed to be one of the main businesses of the Tower of Dusk. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be true? The secret trader took the potion doubtfully, but seeing how certain Lin Li was, he decided to test it lest he missed the opportunity to make a fortune. Of course, there was no need to go to the Netherworld Sea to test it. He simply asked someone to bring a slave over, and then ordered him to drink the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion.
To a slave, everything belonged to his master. Even if he was asked to commit suicide, he would have no other choice, let alone use him to test the potion. Hence, although the slave's body was trembling, he still brought the potion bottle to his mouth, raised his head, and downed the potion. He then closed his eyes and waited for death.
However, at this moment, something that surprised the secret trader, Cantory, and the surrounding crowd happened. As the slave drank the Nether Servant's Blessing Potion, the aura of life on his body soon disappeared from everyone's perception, and was replaced by a death aura that was no different from that of an Undead creature. However, the appearance of the slave did not change at all, and he was exactly the same as before he took the potion. However, there was a faint layer of black fog around his body.
"Take this!" The secret trader suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out a Netherworld Pearl, and handed it to the slave. The Netherworld Pearl contained a very pure and powerful death aura. If ordinary people came into contact with it, they would be corroded by the death aura and turn into Undead creatures. Hence, if the slave would not be corroded by the death aura of the Netherworld Pearl, he would have a great chance of resisting the death aura in the environment of the Netherworld Sea.
Die, die, die, I'll definitely die! Cantory also looked at the slave nervously, praying continuously in his heart. He followed Lin Li because he wanted to make things difficult for him, not because he wanted to see him gloating. However, it seemed that he was the unluckiest one. He had spent 4,000,000 gold coins on a piece of trash, and the other party was achieving his goal. The thought of the smug look on Lin Li's face after completing the transaction with the secret trader made him feel worse than killing him.
Apart from Cantory, the secret trader, the secret traders of the nearby stalls, and the onlookers who had been attracted by curiosity were also a little nervous. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. It was because each of them knew that if there was really a way to allow people to enter and leave the Netherworld Sea without worrying about the death aura, it would be akin to treating the entire Netherworld Sea as his home.
Under the gazes of those people, the slave finally picked up the Netherworld Pearl that his master handed to him. After the Netherworld Pearl left the crystal box, everyone could see the dense black gas that had condensed on it, and there seemed to be countless Vengeful Spirits howling and struggling inside. If it were an ordinary living being that held it, the black gas would immediately spread to its entire body, and at the same time, the countless Vengeful Spirits would also pounce out and tear the soul of the living being apart.
However, what was presented in front of everyone now was an unbelievable scene. The slave held the Netherworld Pearl in his hand, but the scene that everyone had expected did not happen. The black gas on the Netherworld Pearl seemed to have been fixed in place, and did not spread to the slave at all. At the same time, the countless Vengeful Spirits in the black gas were only roaring silently at the surrounding living beings that they had sensed, but they were not interested in the slave at all.
The effects of the Netherworld Servant's Blessing Potion had been verified, and everyone's breathing immediately quickened. They stepped forward to ask Lin Li about the Netherworld Servant's Blessing Potion, and even planned to cooperate with Lin Li.
Although the death aura was only one of the dangers that one had to face in exploring the Netherworld Sea, there was also the threat of the Undead Sea Clan. However, the threat of the Undead Sea Clan was tangible, and could be dealt with through other means, such as fighting if they could, hiding if they couldn't, and so on.
The death aura was pervasive, and could not be avoided. It was the most difficult thing to deal with. It might be an exaggeration to say that the Netherworld Sea was their backyard, but as long as the death aura was resolved, the difficulty of exploring the Netherworld Sea would be reduced by more than half.
Faced with such a huge temptation, the people around him could no longer hold back their desires at this moment, regardless of how high their status was or how much wealth they had. They surrounded Lin Li and got ready to talk about cooperation.
Seeing this scene, the secret trader immediately panicked, and hurriedly held up the box of Netherworld Pearls with both hands. While handing it to Lin Li, he said to the crowd, "Okay, everyone, stop arguing. This is a deal between me and President Felic, please don't affect our deal."
"What a joke, isn't it just a few Netherworld Pearls!? President Felic, as long as you cooperate with the Seven Seas Trade Union, we'll give you as many Nether Pearls as you need! "A pot-bellied merchant squeezed his way into the crowd and said with a face full of smiles.
"Badillo, that's a good idea! Everyone knows how much wealth is hidden in the Netherworld Sea, and the Netherworld Pearls are insignificant compared to it. How can you use such conditions to cooperate with President Felic? " Another tall and skinny man squeezed in, and rebuked Badillo in disdain. Then, his expression changed, and he said to Lin Li with an almost obsequious smile, "President Felic, we, the Cehedilen Trade Union, sincerely hope to cooperate with you. Why don't we go somewhere else and talk about the cooperation? "
Cantory, who was waiting to see Lin Li make a fool of himself, had already been pushed to the outside by the crowd. Looking at the agitated crowd, he suddenly felt a strong sense of defeat. To him, 4,000,000 gold coins was not a big deal. The key was that he had been cheated by his enemy, and that was unacceptable. However, separated by the crowd, he could not say anything as he listened to those people's compliments to his enemy.
