The Fiend seemed a little anxious as he exclaimed, "As you all know, in our Secluded Water Realm, this kind of incantation is only in the hands of a few major sects in Jade Jade City. It's very rare to see it in the outside world!"
"Even if it's rare, it's useless. The Nether River is located in a remote area and is full of danger. Moreover, it takes a lot of time and effort to condense the Heavy Water. Once it's refined, it can only be sold to some major forces to refine magic treasures. This Thousand Condensation Water Transformation Art is basically useless now. "
"This is the third time you've brought this item here. No one will pay for it. You should just give up on it."
"If it's two or three thousand Underworld stones, I can consider accepting it. Haha!"
"You …" The person behind the stone table was obviously angry. His body was trembling slightly, causing the mist that shrouded his body to also start to circulate.
"Enough. If no one bids after ten breaths, please return to your seat." At this moment, the long-bearded elder beside the stone table slowly said.
"I'll take it."
Just as this person dejectedly picked up the books on the stone table and was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the room.
Many people were shocked by the person who spoke. They couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. They wanted to see who the person who was willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy something that everyone thought was useless.
The person who was selling the Condensing Water Method also stopped in his tracks upon hearing this and looked over as well.
The person who made the bid was in the corner. Just like the others, he was also shrouded in a cloud of gray mist.
It was Liu Ming.
With this technique, he could go to the Nether River without any worries, use the water of the Nether River to wash his body, cultivate the next few levels of the Nether Bone Method, and complete the refinement of the twelve Mountain River Pearls at the same time.
"Oh? Are you willing to pay ten thousand Underworld stones for this Condensing Water Technique? " The long-bearded elder beside the stone table also cast his gaze over when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I don't have enough Underworld stones, but I can use this to make up for it." As Liu Ming spoke, he had already stood up. His figure flashed and appeared in front of the stone table. He touched the black ring on his right hand with one hand, and a pair of ten meters wide silver-white wings appeared on the stone table.
The feathers on its wings shone with a silver light, as if they were made of pure silver. Black Qi swirled around the surface of the wings, and a low buzzing sound could be heard.
"Could this be … the wings of the Jin Dan's Phantom Owl?!"
"Tsk, tsk. The wings of the Ghostowl are hard like a rock yet light like a feather. They're superb materials for forging wing type treasures that are hard to come by!"
Obviously, the people that had come to participate in the exchange meeting this time all possessed extraordinary eyesight. They were able to quickly determine that this item was not far off from the truth even though they were separated by such a distance.
"Not bad, a pair of Ghost Owl Wings at the middle stage of Jin Dan. As long as neither side has any objections, we can make the exchange. "The long-bearded elderly man's eyes flashed as he spoke in a calm manner.
"I will use this item and five thousand Underworld stones to exchange for your Condensing Water Technique." When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately turned his gaze to the person behind the stone table and asked.
"This … To be honest, I am also short of Underworld stones, so I intend to give up this technique. Since you are willing to take out this pair of Jin Dan's Phantom Owl Wings, it is considered sincere. If you are willing to increase the Underworld stones to six thousand, I will reluctantly cede it. "As a result, the person showed a reluctant look and said in a euphemistic tone.
Looking at the person's stammering appearance, it seemed that he had the intention to raise the price. Liu Ming couldn't help but frown.
"Fellow, I am willing to pay four thousand and two hundred Underworld stones to buy this pair of Ghost Owl Wings. I wonder if you are willing?" As a result, the people in the audience heard this and began to bid Liu Ming.
"I am willing to pay four thousand and five hundred Underworld stones …" Another voice said with great interest.
"I will pay four thousand and eight hundred, sell it to me." As soon as the voice fell, it was overtaken by another voice.
"Wait, wait! I thought for a moment. Since you are so sincere, I will give it to you according to your previous price. " However, upon seeing that the price of the Ghost Owl Wings seemed to be rising, the person's original intention was greatly diminished. He hastily stopped Liu Ming and threw the ancient book over.
Liu Ming caught the ancient book and quickly scanned it with his divine sense. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he snorted and took out a bag. After counting out fifty Underworld stones, he swept them over to the person on the table along with the silver wings.
He then rose to his feet and returned to his seat.
After the Fiend behind the stone table left, the trade resumed.
In the following period of time, there were naturally many people who came forward to take out their treasures and stated their requests.
Later on, many Nether Race's unique Nether Tools appeared.
Speaking of these Nether Tools, Liu Ming had already gained a general understanding of them over the past month.
Most Nether Tools were forged from the materials of Ghosts and some unique ores of the Nether Realm. Unlike spiritual tools, Nether Tools could only be activated by infusing them with Yin Qi.
The restrictive spells inscribed on the surface of Nether Tools were called Nether Patterns. Like spiritual tools, they were divided into nine layers, which were low grade, medium grade, high grade, and supreme-grade. Once a Nether Tool broke through the thirty-six layers of restrictive spells, it could also be turned into a magical treasure.
Since the Fiends in the Netherworld practiced Ghost Dao cultivation methods, and the Yin Qi in heaven and earth was very pure, their control and familiarity with Yin Qi was far superior to that of the human race. Therefore, the Fiends were also very proficient in forging Nether Tools, far better than their counterparts in the Middle Sky Continent. Most of the finished Nether Tools could even be made in sets.
The final treasure of this exchange meeting was a set of six Bone Blades at the prototype level of a magical treasure. They were taken from the six leg bones of a Jin Dan level Ghost Beast, Six Feet Ghost Lion, and were inscribed with thirty-six layers of Nether Patterns in the same way. Their power was naturally not to be underestimated.
With Liu Ming's current status, he naturally couldn't afford such a treasure. In the end, this treasure was sold for a sky-high price of 58,000 Nether Stones.
However, Liu Ming had also exchanged the other two Real Pellet State ghost materials and three thousand underworld stones for a magic treasure prototype level dark artifact. It was a set of long and short flying swords "Mother and Child Yin Spirit Swords".
After all, he had to stay in the Netherworld Realm for a while. In front of others, except for the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison, it was not convenient for him to use many other magical skills and most of the human race's spiritual tools. This set of flying swords just happened to solve the urgent problem.
…
Half a day later, in a secret room of a remote inn in the Cold Moon City, Liu Ming looked at a gray sword case and a seemingly tattered ancient book in his hand with a joyful expression.
It was a pleasant surprise that he managed to obtain these items by exchanging some ghostly materials that were of no use to him and some Underworld Stones.
However, he took out 3 Jin Dan level ghost materials in a row and bought a technique that was considered to be useless. He was really generous, and it would more or less attract some people's attention.
He decided to stay in his residence for a period of time.
In the next half a year, Liu Ming would change an inn every once in a while. During this period, except for occasionally going to the city to inquire about the news, he stayed in his residence and carefully comprehended the technique to condense the Heavy Water.
Half a year later.
There was a large circular open space in front of the Cold Moon City's City Lord Mansion. This was the central square.
In the square, there was a huge black jade wall that was seven or eight meters in size. From time to time, various mission announcements would be posted on it.
At this moment, it was noon, when the Netherworld Sun was the brightest. The whole Cold Moon City was filled with dense black yin qi, and the central square was no exception.
In front of the black jade wall in the center of the square, there were densely packed people, and it was a very lively scene.
"The City Lord is recruiting experts for an escort mission. Hmm … it's about time." A white-haired old man of the Fiend Clan looked at the line of words at the top of the black jade wall and said slowly.
"Senior, may I know what this escort mission is about?" Beside the old man, a seven-foot-tall man in a green robe asked with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Don't you know about the tribute?" Hearing this, the old man asked with a puzzled expression.
"To be honest, senior, I haven't been in this Cold Moon City for long, and I don't know much about this matter. Please give me some advice, senior." The big man in the green robe said respectfully with a straight face.
"Oh, it's no wonder. Speaking of which, this tribute is a grand event in our Nether Water Realm … "The old man seemed to know a lot about this matter, and went on to explain the whole story.
It turned out that every fifty years, all the Fiend forces in the Nether Water Realm, including Cold Moon City, would offer some treasures to Jade Jade City, the capital of the Nether Water Realm, as a sign of submission and respect.
Since the Fiend forces were located at different distances from Jade Jade City, it was natural that they would encounter all kinds of unexpected situations along the way. Plus, the Fiend forces would seize the opportunity to fight each other. Therefore, it was very dangerous to escort treasures. The Fiend forces would often suffer heavy casualties, and even be wiped out.
However, they had to offer treasures to Jade Jade City. On one hand, the Fiend forces could display their strength by offering treasures. If a Fiend force couldn't even offer treasures, it would be considered weak by the other Fiend forces, and would be ostracized in various ways.
On the other hand, the performance of the Fiend forces during the process of offering treasures would also determine their status in Lord Jade Jade's eyes. Once a Fiend force lost Lord Jade Jade's trust, it wouldn't be able to survive in the Nether Water Realm, and would soon be annexed by other Fiend forces.
Some even speculated that Lord Jade Jade was doing this on purpose to eliminate the weak and select the strong to temper the Fiend forces under his rule.
After hearing the old man's words, the big man in the green robe said in a noncommittal manner, "If that's the case, all the Fiend forces need to do is send their elites to complete the task."
"If that's what you think, you're gravely mistaken. Even though there aren't any explicit rules about the cultivation bases of the Fiend forces, they generally don't send Fiends whose cultivation bases are higher than the Jin Dan stage, lest they be ridiculed by the other forces. At the same time, in order to fulfill Lord Jade Jade's wish to temper the younger generation of the Fiends, even though Lord Jade Jade will go all-out every time he offers the treasures, he only sends Crystal Level to Jin Dan stage cultivators to participate.
