Naturally, the current Magic Tool was far from the Strongest True Spirit Magic Tool that would be famous a few millennia later.
Lin Yun remembered that in a few millennia, this Strongest True Spirit Magic Tool would have twenty-eight arrays and as many as seventeen formidable Augments. At the time, this would have toppled the entire alchemy system. It had an incomparably complex structure, an incomparably frightening carrying capacity, and the power it displayed in its complete form far surpassed any True Spirit Magic Tool of that time.
Unfortunately, this Magic Tool only existed in Noscent for about a millennium.
A millennium later, the master of this Magic Tool died in battle in an unknown plane. Although the Magic Tool itself was snatched back by the Cloud Tower, it had already lost its power forever.
From then on, Noscent's strongest True Spirit Magic Tool was reduced to an ordinary object.
But the alchemists' research didn't stop after the Magic Tool was reduced to an ordinary object. After another millennium, the alchemists' research was getting closer and closer to the truth. The Cloud Tower, who had been silent all this time, finally publicly admitted that it was all because of the mana crystal embedded at the top of the Magic Tool. That was the mana crystal of a Spirit Devourer Behemoth.
An adult Spirit Devourer Behemoth was an incomparably huge plane. They devoured everything they could devour. Meteors, Netherstorms, and even the remains of dead planes were delicious food to them. In Noscent's history, no one had ever hunted a Spirit Devourer Behemoth.
Thus, the origin of this Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal became one of the many unsolved mysteries of the peak of the magic era.
In short, the Cloud Tower relied on this Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal to create the most powerful True Spirit Magic Tool of the peak of the magic era.
The Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal wouldn't bring great power to the Magic Tool, so when it first appeared, it was only an Inheritance Magic Tool. But the Spirit Devourer Behemoth's mana crystal brought endless possibilities to this Inheritance Magic Tool.
Let alone anything else, just its carrying capacity was enough to topple the entire alchemy system. That was a total of seventeen Augments.
This kind of carrying capacity even surpassed many Extraordinary Magic Tools.
Lin Yun knew about the Book of Death. In its complete form, the Book of Death could carry fifteen Augments. That was already a peak existence among Extraordinary Magic Tools.
Of course, Lin Yun also knew that it was too early to think about this …
What he had now was only an incomplete Inheritance Magic Tool. Apart from the Spirit Devouring Behemoth's mana crystal and the Ghost Wood, there were only three alchemy arrays left. As for the Augments, he didn't have a single one.
Lin Yun still had a long way to go if he wanted to make this Inheritance Magic Tool reach the level of the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool several millennia later.
In other words, he still had a lot of gold to spend.
Just those 28 alchemy arrays were enough to make Lin Yun despair.
That was a total of 28 alchemy arrays, and the resources consumed would be enough to bankrupt several dozen Flashing Gold chambers of commerce. With Lin Yun's current wealth, he would be thanking the heavens if he could complete one.
There were also the seventeen components …
Those weren't ordinary components. Lin Yun had looked through the materials in the past and knew that most of those components were at the True Spirit Rank. The worst of them was at the peak of the Spiritual Rank.
Thinking about it, Lin Yun and Solomon spent no less than a million golds in the Black Horn Auction to buy a Spiritual Augment, and that was without anyone knowing. If everyone knew that it was a Spiritual Augment, Lin Yun and Solomon would have spent at least twice as much!
If an ordinary Spiritual Augment was like that, how could completing the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool be something that could be done in a day or two?
Even Lin Yun only dared to guarantee that the power of this Magic Tool would surpass that of the Soul Walker within a year.
Naturally, this was purely bullying Lord Shawn.
Nothing could be done about it. Shawn's Incarnation was a soul lifeform and wasn't known for its power. What Shawn excelled at was creating all kinds of illusions, as well as soul attacks. Competing in power with a pure offensive Magic Tool was unfair in itself.
Lin Yun didn't even need to make this Magic Tool reach the True Spirit Rank.
As long as it could produce a Magic Tool Spirit and reach the Spiritual Rank, there would be no problem surpassing Shawn in power.
'Too poor …' Lin Yun couldn't help letting out a long sigh as he thought of the frightening cost of the 28 alchemy arrays and the seventeen components.
Originally, after the Gilded Rose completed its expansion and became the number one alchemy shop of Thousand Sails City, Lin Yun had felt that he had enough wealth.
But it now looked like it was far from enough.
'Forget it, let's find the Reincarnation Eyes first.'
After thinking about it, Lin Yun put the Magic Tool back in his pocket and directly passed through the Dark Arena, gradually walking towards the depths of the prince tomb. As Lin Yun went deeper, the terrain in front of him started becoming more complicated. The entire tomb was like a huge maze.
Along the way, there were all kinds of traps, giving Lin Yun a new understanding of the alchemy techniques of the 3rd Dynasty. What Myriad Arrows, what Blade Mountain, what Sea of Fire? These things couldn't even be seen in the prince tomb. Lin Yun had gained a lot of experience this time. All kinds of things were impossible to guard against, all kinds of frightening things. This path wasn't any easier than passing through the Dark Arena.
On one hand, he had to remember the path he had taken, on the other hand, he had to guard against all kinds of traps. Lin Yun felt as if half of his hair had turned white as he rushed through that deadly maze.
At this time, an altar appeared in front of Lin Yun, enshrining the Haiba Dragon God. This was the first Dragon since the beginning of the world. It had a golden body, and its three heads represented light, darkness, and chaos. Even if it was only a statue, it was emitting boundless majesty, making Lin Yun feel the urge to prostrate himself in worship.
"Dissipate!" Lin Yun coldly snorted before casting a Mind Defense.
As the first Dragon since the beginning of the world, the Haiba Dragon God's Draconic Might was extremely frightening. An ordinary Great Mage might have immediately prostrated before this Draconic Might.
But Lin Yun wouldn't do so.
Because Lin Yun had once seen the records of the Haiba Dragon God's kills in that spacious decaying library. That was the last time a human mage of Noscent killed a God, allowing the three Orders of light, darkness, and chaos to return to the hands of human mages.
Lin Yun didn't feel the slightest bit of fear or reverence towards such a fallen God.
After casting a Mind Defense, Lin Yun managed to resist the Haiba Dragon God's Draconic Might and started searching the temple. Strangely, anyone would know that the Haiba Dragon God liked all kinds of treasures the most. The more glittering and expensive something was, the more it would win the favor of the Haiba Dragon God.
As a member of the 3rd Dynasty's royal family, it was impossible for the prince not to know this. In fact, wasn't there a huge amount of wealth stored in that temple in the Poison Fog Canyon?
However, apart from the altar, there was nothing else in the temple ….
'Could it be that the prince suddenly changed his faith before dying?'
"Fuck, what are you doing here!" But, just as Lin Yun was racking his brains, Shawn, who had been absorbing mana from the mana crystals, suddenly let out an alarmed cry.
"I'm looking for something." Lin Yun absent-mindedly replied while casting a Mage Eye.
"Is it the Reincarnation Eye!?"
"You know about the Reincarnation Eye?"
"Only a blind man wouldn't know …" Shawn coldly snorted with disdain.
"You mean …" Lin Yun was startled. Shawn said "blind man" and not "idiot". Didn't that mean that the Reincarnation Eye was already within his sight?
"Look at the statue's eyes yourself."
After being reminded by Shawn, Lin Yun hurriedly manipulated the Mage Eye to slip over. Sure enough, as soon as the Mage Eye went over, Lin Yun saw that the statue's eyes seemed to have come to life as they stared fixedly at the Mage Eye. It was followed by a strange mana interference, and the Mage Eye directly dissipated.
"It's a bit strange …" Lin Yun tried twice in a row. No matter how much mana he controlled, no matter how many defenses he added, the Mage Eye couldn't get within a hundred meters of the statue.
"It's more than strange …" Shawn's voice sounded somewhat disdainful, but for some reason, Lin Yun felt that there was a trace of fear in that disdainful voice. "Did you know that when that lunatic Barov built this mausoleum, he was actually still in his prime? But ever since the mausoleum was built, Barov has never left. He spends most of his time in this temple, muttering all day long. I don't know what he's doing …"
"It's that strange?"
"There's more to come. Let me tell you, Barov was even more terrifying in his later years. The most powerful man in the Empire actually went crazy. Can you imagine that? Such an omnipotent powerhouse actually went crazy. Barov killed all his subordinates and relatives and buried them in this mausoleum. In the end, he even extracted all my mana so that I could never leave this mausoleum … "
The more Shawn spoke, the more terrified he became. In the end, even his voice was trembling.
"What happened after that?"
"And then, and then …" Perhaps realizing that his previous performance was a little weak, Lord Sean suddenly became a little angry after saying "and then" twice. "How would I know? Of course, a piece of magic power that has been extracted will fall into a deep sleep. I can't sleepwalk, so how would I know what would happen next!"
