"Yes, spirit stones should be enough." Song Shuhang said affirmatively. He was really too poor. Apart from the spirit stone inside the silver dragon puppet, which was mostly used up, he didn't even have the dregs of a spirit stone.
He was a cultivator, but he didn't even have a single spirit stone on him. It was simply too pitiful.
Song Shuhang gazed at Daoist Priest Horizon. He currently had 20 blood pearls. How many spirit stones could he get from Daoist Priest Horizon?
Trading was all about willingness. Even if it was a piece of rotten wood, as long as you found the right buyer and the other party really liked it, you would be able to sell it for a good price.
If Song Shuhang were to trade these blood pearls with other cultivators, the price he could sell them for would be very limited. After all, other cultivators didn't really need these blood pearls.
These blood pearls were something that Venerable White had experimented with. Venerable White wanted to turn blood demons into something similar to spirit stones, but the transformation wasn't very successful.
In the end, although these blood pearls had spiritual energy of the Sixth Stage rank, the amount of spiritual energy inside them was only around 70% of that of an ordinary spirit stone of the Sixth Stage rank. In addition, the purity of the spiritual energy inside the blood pearls wasn't comparable to that of an ordinary spirit stone of the Sixth Stage rank, and the impurities of the blood demons were mixed within.
Therefore, after conversion, one blood pearl was roughly equivalent to two spirit stones of the Fifth Stage rank.
But that was only under normal circumstances.
Daoist Priest Horizon was currently in urgent need of these blood pearls. Moreover, he didn't seem to be a poor person.
After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang decided to exchange five spirit stones of the Fifth Stage rank for one blood pearl!
That way, he would be able to get 100 spirit stones of the Fifth Stage rank, which was equivalent to 1,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage rank.
For Song Shuhang, this was already an incredible amount.
One had to know that entering Great Master Profound Principle's' Jingang Immortal Cave 'and comprehending the advanced version of the' Basic Buddhist Fist Technique ', the' Demon Subduing Buddhist Fist Technique ', only required six spirit stones of the Fourth Stage rank. 1,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage rank was enough for Song Shuhang to comprehend several times.
As for learning the mysterious life-saving technique 'Flame Substitution Technique' from Venerable Septuagint, he would need a whole 10,000 Spirit Stones of the Fifth Stage.
I'll think about that magical life-saving spell later. Ten thousand grade-five spirit stones, even if he sold off Song Shuhang now, it would not be worth that much.
…
…
After hearing that Song Shuhang wanted spirit stones, Daoist Priest Horizon's eyes immediately lit up.
A problem that could be solved with spirit stones was not a problem at all!
Daoist Priest Horizon asked, "Little Friend, how much are you planning to sell it for?"
Song Shuhang faintly smiled and asked, "Daoist Priest, name your price."
Daoist Priest Horizon pondered for a moment and recalled the appearance of the Blood Demon Pearl.
A Blood Devil Pearl's spiritual energy reserve was close to that of a sixth-grade spirit stone. If that was the case, then one pearl could be considered as equivalent to a sixth-grade spirit stone.
Moreover, he was in desperate need of this kind of Blood Devil Pearl. So, it was not realistic for him to buy it at the price of a Grade Six Spirit Stone.
Then … let's double it.
Daoist Priest Horizon said in a grave tone, "One Blood Devil Pearl and two spirit stones of the Sixth Stage, how about it?"
Song Shuhang remained calm and collected. Daoist Priest Horizon was like a tycoon. As soon as he opened his mouth, he raised the price in Song Shuhang's mind by four times.
Thereupon, Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Deal!"
Perhaps Daoist Priest Horizon would offer an even higher price if Song Shuhang continued. After all, it was Daoist Priest Horizon's first offer, and there was still a gap between the price and the limit that Daoist Priest Horizon had in mind.
But Song Shuhang felt that this price was more or less acceptable. Song Shuhang was definitely not a qualified businessman. If he were to go out and do business, he would suffer a lot of losses.
"Deal!" Daoist Priest Horizon secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The two exchanged the money with one hand and the goods with the other.
20 Blood Devil Pearls were exchanged for 40 spirit stones of the Sixth Stage.
In other words, it was equivalent to 400 spirit stones of the Fifth Stage or 4,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage!
It was another transaction that both parties were satisfied with.
…
…
Daoist Priest Horizon took the 20 blood pearls and gently stroked each of them. Soon after, he looked at the owner of the villa, Yu Jiaojiao, and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiaojiao, can you lend me a quiet room?"
Daoist Priest Horizon was planning to use these blood pearls as an experiment to see how compatible they were with the set of 'tribulation-transcending magical treasures' he had prepared for himself.
He was already somewhat impatient.
"No problem. Daoist Priest, this way, please." At this time, Yu Jiaojiao was still using Jouko Hagi's shapeshifting brooch to maintain her mother's appearance.
She stood up and led Daoist Priest Horizon to the innermost room of the villa. That place was relatively quiet and undisturbed.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiaojiao," Daoist Priest Horizon said gratefully.
"Daoist Priest, you are welcome," Yu Jiaojiao replied with a smile. As long as they didn't talk about the 'strength imparting', they could be good friends.
…
…
In the meantime, Song Shuhang placed the spirit stones in his pocket. He didn't dare to put them in his size-reducing purse since there was still a puppet inside that could eat spirit stones.
According to the results of the appraisal technique, that puppet was a high-quality puppet custom-made by the ancient Jet-Black Sect for VIPs, and it had many miraculous functions. It requires 50,000 spirit stones of the Eighth Stage to activate!]
50,000 spirit stones of the Eighth Stage! His 40 spirit stones of the Sixth Stage weren't even enough to make up for the cost. If the puppet were to eat them all, there wouldn't even be a ripple.
Song Shuhang had already decided to give the puppet to Venerable White so that he could play with it. After all, he wasn't stupid enough to spend 50,000 spirit stones of the Eighth Stage just to play with the puppet.
After putting away the spirit stones, Song Shuhang took out a gift box from his size-reducing purse. Inside the gift box was a complete set of 33 spirit beast crystals, all of which were of the Second Stage rank.
Shuhang's constitution had already reached the limit of the Second Stage, and he could use the Whale Swallowing Technique to consume these spirit beast crystals to perfect the 'Innate true qi' in his body.
So far, Shuhang had consumed five types of spirit beast crystals: shark, goat, horse, donkey, and camel.
"Today, I'll consume the five types of spirit beast crystals: cow, deer, pig, dog, and cat. If I consume five crystals a day, the Innate true qi of the 《Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique》 will definitely be completed in no time! "Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Thereupon, he returned to his room, took out the five spirit beast crystals, and used the Whale Swallowing Technique to consume them, starting a new day of cultivation.
He was getting closer and closer to his dream of flying on a Fourth Stage sword.
Just as he was thinking about this, Shuhang suddenly remembered that he still had a flying saber technique called the 《Blade Dragging Technique》.
Evil thoughts, disperse!
Unless he could save his life and escape, he absolutely didn't want to be dragged along by the saber.
* * * * *
On the other side, in the distant East China Sea.
The lustrous scholar that had forcefully taken over Shuhang's Reiki finally found the person he was looking for after searching for a long time in the East China Sea.
In the East China Sea, a man dressed like a scholar was running on the surface of the sea.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were untidy, and he only had one shoe left on his feet.
There was a foolish smile on his face, and as he ran, the terrifying celestial energy around his body set off terrifying waves.
When the scholar that had taken over Shuhang's Reiki saw this disheveled figure, tears fell from his eyes. However, what flowed out weren't tears, but pure spiritual energy.
"Senior Brother Daozi, I'm coming," the lustrous scholar said in a soft voice, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes that were filled with madness and killing intent.
However, the crazy scholar dressed like a scholar didn't pay attention to the lustrous scholar.
He continued to laugh like a madman while running on the surface of the sea. Sometimes, he would instantly dive to the bottom of the sea, disappearing without a trace.
The lustrous scholar rubbed his eyes and closely followed that disheveled crazy scholar. He didn't want to leave even an inch behind.
The crazy scholar kept running in front of him, looking for all kinds of strange fishes and playing with fishes, turtles, and shrimps.
This was the appearance of the Senior Brother Daozi that the lustrous scholar had never seen before.
In his memory, the scholar Daozi was the eldest senior brother, the head disciple of the Sage of the Confucian Faction.
His every word and action was a role model in the eyes of the other disciples, just like a textbook.
The dignified eldest senior brother, the beloved eldest senior brother, the eldest senior brother who was like a brother and a father.
However, the eldest senior brother in front of him was like a child, laughing and aimlessly chasing after everything in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, Great Master Daozi finally got tired of playing. After getting tired, he remained motionless and let his body sink.
He kept sinking and sinking.
Finally, he sank to the bottom of the sea.
The lustrous scholar also sank to the bottom of the sea.
Senior Brother Daozi lay on the bottom of the sea with his eyes closed, motionless.
The celestial energy around him propped up a space, preventing the seawater from invading his body.
The lustrous scholar knelt beside his senior brother.
After a long time …
The sleeping Senior Brother Daozi slightly opened his eyes. His innocent eyes, just like those of a child, curiously looked at the lustrous scholar in front of him.
The lustrous scholar opened his mouth again, and said, "Senior Brother Daozi, I'm here."
There was still only curiosity in Senior Brother Daozi's eyes, and he didn't recognize the lustrous scholar at all.
The lustrous scholar knelt and gently kowtowed. "Senior Brother Daozi, please tell me the whereabouts of the remains of the Sage and the fellow disciples that were killed."
Back then, the teacher of the Sage had failed in the struggle for the 'new Wielder of the Will'.
In the struggle for eternity, if one didn't win, they would die. The Sage of the Confucian Faction died in the hands of the 'new Wielder of the Will'.
Not only that, but the blows of the new Wielder of the Will came one after another. Almost all of the 13 Tribulation Transcenders under the Sage perished. Countless scholarly books were destroyed, and tens of thousands of scholarly disciples were burned by the flames of tribulation.
During the calamity of the scholarly faction, the remains of the Sage and the 13 Tribulation Transcenders disappeared.
Senior Brother Daozi tilted his head and curiously looked at the lustrous scholar.
"Senior Brother, the calamity is over. Please allow me to collect the remains of the Sage and my fellow disciples. Let me give them a proper burial, "the lustrous scholar said in a deep voice while prostrating himself on the ground.
One of the reasons why he had asked Slow-Witted Song to seal him was so that he could survive the calamity of the scholarly faction. Only then would he have the chance to bury his teacher and fellow apprentices.
"Hee, hee, hee, hee." Senior Brother Daozi suddenly laughed. "How can a dead person be buried?"
"Senior Brother Daozi!" The lustrous scholar firmly kowtowed.
"There's no way to bury the dead," Senior Brother Daozi said with a smile.
The lustrous scholar forced a smile and faintly sighed, "I understand."
The scholar kowtowed to Senior Brother Daozi once again and said respectfully, "Senior Brother Daozi, I have already left behind the Sage's inheritance and am waiting for the fated one. I've finally completed the mission that Senior Brother gave me back then. Now, I have nothing left in this world … So, I want to ask Senior Brother one last thing, who is the new Heaven's Will? "
What was the origin of the new Heaven's Will?
Why was it that in the entire world of cultivation, be it daoists, scholars, buddhists, demons, or monsters, no one knew of its origins? Who was the teacher of the Sage competing with back then for the right to become eternal?!
"Hee, hee, hee." Senior Brother Daozi was still laughing. Then, he turned over and started to roll on the seabed.
"Senior Brother, I don't have much time left. At the very least, give me an opportunity to vent my anger, "the lustrous scholar said in a low voice.
Senior Brother Daozi was still curiously looking at the lustrous scholar. Then, he sat up and supported his chin with one hand. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as though he was thinking about something.
But if he could easily recall his memories, he wouldn't have gone crazy.
Senior Brother Daozi kept rolling on the seabed while holding his chin with one hand. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
The lustrous scholar sat on his knees and didn't say anything to disturb Senior Brother Daozi.
Then, Senior Brother Daozi suddenly sat up and said, [Netherworld.]
[Netherworld? The new Heaven's Will originated from the Netherworld?] The lustrous scholar's eyes lit up.
Senior Brother Daozi clapped his hands and said, "No … but that day, the people of the Netherworld killed a lot of scholars."
The lustrous scholar faintly sighed and kowtowed to Senior Brother Daozi.
Then, he stood up and rushed to the surface of the sea.
He couldn't bury the teacher of the Sage in his stead. He had already left behind the inheritance of the teacher of the Sage and was waiting for the fated one.
Now, he only had a little bit of time left … so he decided to go to the Netherworld!
Just as the lustrous scholar rushed to the surface of the sea, a luminous jellyfish tore through space and appeared in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist, you're quite persistent." The lustrous scholar looked at the jellyfish with a hint of a smile in his crazed eyes.
"Where are you going next? What are you going to do?" The luminous jellyfish looked at the lustrous scholar and discovered that his appearance had changed … eh? Is this the appearance of that Little Friend Song?
The luminous jellyfish didn't see the lustrous scholar forcefully occupying Song Shuhang's Reiki. As such, it was surprised.
"I'm going to the Netherworld," the lustrous scholar said indifferently. "That's the last place I'll go. Once I go there, I won't be coming back. Therefore, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to follow me anymore. "
The luminous jellyfish stared at the lustrous scholar and finally nodded. "Take care."
The lustrous scholar shook his head slightly.
Then, he stretched out his hand and tore through space. On the other side was a space full of filth, curses, and all the 'evil' in the world.
The lustrous scholar took a deep breath and dove into the Netherworld.
As soon as he dove into the Netherworld, the power that he had been suppressing completely burst out.
A huge amount of immortal energy filled the body of Song Shuhang's Reiki.
Immortal energy was a powerful power that was two levels higher than true qi and spiritual qi. It belonged to the power of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender.
Just as the lustrous scholar completely burst out … Song Shuhang, who was in the distant villa in the Jiangnan area, opened his eyes wide.
