The peak Foundation Establishment cultivator did not have the confidence to defeat Wang Daoyuan and was afraid that he would really come to kill him, so he did not increase the price.
As for face, for itinerant cultivators to be able to cultivate to this extent, which one of them did not drag out an ignoble existence?
Compared to their little lives, face was nothing.
Wang Daoyuan used three high-grade Tier 2 magic artifact longswords to exchange for the refining method of the Spirit Gathering Bead.
Ji Yue walked down from the stage and handed the beast skin book page to Wang Daoyuan and put away the three high-grade Tier 2 longswords.
Wang Daoyuan stored the beast skin book page into the spirit bead space and handed it to his clone Lu Zong to check.
He and the clone were telepathically connected. After Lu Zong finished checking, he also knew the contents.
This Spirit Gathering Bead's refining method did not seem to be perfect. It should just be a draft. The creator also just barely managed to refine it. He casually looked at it and discovered many shortcomings.
This was good news, but also bad news.
The good side was that this magic artifact's room for growth was very large. As long as it was perfected, its function would have a huge improvement.
The bad side was that this Spirit Gathering Bead might also have all sorts of problems after refining it.
If it was used on a flying boat and a problem suddenly occurred, the flying boat might fall. Not mentioning the loss of several tens of thousands of spirit stones, the signboard would also be ruined.
If used on a defensive array formation, if the enemy was attacking the array formation and a problem suddenly occurred, then the loss was not something that could be measured in spirit stones.
However, this Spirit Gathering Bead also had many areas that made him feel pleasantly surprised.
The entire Spirit Gathering Bead's diameter was actually only three inches.
Such a small Spirit Gathering Bead could actually store twice the spiritual energy of middle-grade spirit stones. This showed that the method of storing spiritual energy inside was very brilliant.
Artifact patterns that stored spiritual energy were very common. Any random jade box could have quite a few, but the brilliant ones were really not many.
The thing that exceeded his expectations the most was the Spirit Gathering Artifact Pattern on the Spirit Gathering Bead. This was an artifact pattern that Wang Daoyuan did not grasp.
Grasping a new kind of artifact pattern could be used on magic artifacts in the future.
Just the Spirit Gathering Artifact Pattern's value far surpassed three high-grade Tier 2 flying swords.
Spirit Gathering Artifact Pattern and Spirit Gathering Formation had the same function, but the value could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Spirit Gathering Formation was a basic array formation. Using Spirit Gathering Formation to collect spiritual energy was very simple.
Spirit Gathering Formation Patterns were often used when refining Formation Disks.
However, the Spirit Gathering Rune was very unusual. He had never heard of it before. It should have been created by the creator of this beast-skinned Spirit Gathering Bead.
Although the jade pendant that Old Ancestor Yang gave him back then also had the function of absorbing spiritual energy, it relied on the characteristics of the material itself, not the Spirit Gathering Pattern.
Wang Daoyuan had never seen Pill Veins before, so he did not know what they looked like.
Tool inscriptions, talisman inscriptions, and formation inscriptions were all similar, but they were also very different.
All three of them had basic inscriptions. If the same 100 basic inscriptions were used to form tool inscriptions, formation inscriptions, and talisman inscriptions, the difference in power would be huge.
A rune formed from a hundred basic runes could be used to refine a high-grade Tier 2 Spirit Talisman.
The power it could unleash was comparable to a spell cast by a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Tool Pattern formed by the combination of 100 basic Tool Patterns could only be used to forge a Level 1 Magic Artifact.
The power of a single high grade Tier 2 talisman was enough to shatter four or five of these magic tools.
100 basic formation inscriptions were not even qualified to form a formation.
Among the same number of basic inscriptions, rune inscriptions could unleash the greatest lethality.
However, inscriptions of spirit energy and spirit consciousness were required to draw rune inscriptions.
This caused rune inscriptions to be extremely unstable. Even if they were not triggered, they could not be preserved for long periods of time.
If no special means were used to seal them, they would be scrapped after a few decades.
If a tool inscriptions were used to unleash the power of a high-grade Tier 2 Spirit Talisman, approximately 10,000 basic inscriptions would be required.
However, tool inscriptions could be preserved for a long period of time. A high-grade Tier 2 Magic Artifact could be preserved for thousands of years if it was not damaged or in a special environment.
To unleash the power of a high-grade Tier 2 Spirit Talisman with formation inscriptions, at least 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of basic inscriptions would be required.
The preservation time of formation inscriptions was related to the frequency of usage. If they were not used, it would not be a problem for them to be preserved for thousands of years.
Inscriptions of formation inscriptions were simple and did not have high requirements for materials.
Among the three types of inscriptions, talisman inscriptions were the most difficult to inscribe. They had to be completed in one go and were the most powerful, but the hardest to preserve.
Inscriptions of tool inscriptions were much easier than inscriptions of talisman inscriptions. They did not have to be completed in one go, and mistakes could be made up for.
Their power was lower than talisman inscriptions, but higher than formation inscriptions.
However, tool inscriptions had to be inscribed on Magic Artifacts, which had high requirements for materials.
Inscriptions of formation inscriptions were the least difficult and mistakes could be made. They could be modified at any time and did not have to be completed in one go.
Setting up an array did not have high requirements for materials. If one failed too many times, the materials could no longer be used and one could simply change to another material.
Formation inscriptions were the least powerful and could not be preserved for the longest. It took too long to set up an array and could not be used effectively.
Other than the fact that the materials were cheap, it did not seem to have any advantages.
However, formation inscriptions had three advantages that talisman inscriptions and tool inscriptions could not compare to.
Firstly, formation inscriptions could be set up on a large scale.
The formation that Wang Daoyuan set up on Jadesong Mountain covered the entire mountain and stretched for hundreds of miles.
If the power of a Magic Artifact was used to envelop Jadesong Mountain, even a Grade 4 Magic Artifact would find it difficult to do so.
The Five Elements Dragon Lock Formation was an upper-grade Tier 2 Array and it was easily done.
Tool inscriptions had to be inscribed on precious tool embryos and could not be made too big.
Secondly, the tool inscriptions had to be concentrated.
The basic tool inscriptions that formed the tool inscriptions had to be extremely close to each other to unleash a certain function. If they were too far away, the circulation of spirit energy would not be smooth.
Formation inscriptions could connect two formation cores that were a few hundred miles apart. It was difficult for tool inscriptions to connect inscriptions that were a few feet apart, let alone a few hundred miles.
As for talisman inscriptions, they could not even be more than a foot apart.
Secondly, it was inclusive.
Using formation inscriptions to set up the framework of an array could be combined with various items to unleash its power.
For example, Dharmic Artifact Array Formation was to place the Dharmic Artifact on the framework of an array formation and unleash the power of the Dharmic Artifact through the array formation.
High-grade talismans could also be used multiple times and could be used to hold the line like Dharmic Artifacts.
Cultivators could also make use of the array formation to unleash Dharmic Arts that were far more powerful than their own.
Thirdly, the array formation could be connected to spirit veins and could completely ignore the consumption of spirit energy.
Tools, talismans and arrays each had their own advantages and disadvantages, which was why they could coexist until now. However, none of them could completely suppress the other two.
If the Spirit Gathering Pearl was placed in a place with dense spirit energy, the Spirit Gathering Inscriptions could be unleashed to the maximum and it would only take three days for it to be filled with spirit energy.
In order for the array inscriptions to be unleashed, too many basic array inscriptions were required.
With such a powerful Spirit Gathering Ability, if a Spirit Gathering Array was used to achieve the Spirit Gathering Ability, the pearl's diameter would be a few feet long and it would not have any value at all.
The inscriptions were unstable and it was very difficult to use them on Dharmic Artifacts.
Using the Tool Inscriptions to achieve the Spirit Gathering Ability would reduce the Spirit Gathering Pearl's diameter to three inches and it could completely replace middle-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, the pearl could be enlarged without affecting its use, increasing the amount of spirit energy stored and increasing the speed of Spirit Gathering.
When he returned, he had to study the Spirit Gathering Pearl carefully. This item did not have much meaning to an individual, but it was simply a treasure to a faction.
Most of the places that required spirit stones could be replaced with Spirit Gathering Pearls.
It was very important to control costs when doing business. With the Spirit Gathering Pearl, the cost of transportation could be reduced by more than 90%.
In this way, the Wang family could save tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.
In the future, when the family's transportation business expanded, they could save even more spirit stones.
If they could mass-produce Spirit Gathering Pearls and let the family members use them to cultivate, the family would not need to consume spirit stones at all.
Of course, this was just a dream. The difficulty of refining Spirit Gathering Pearls was very high. Even if the requirements for the materials were low, it was still difficult to mass-produce them.
