Holy medicines were rare and hard to find in the world. Whether it was in the past, the future, or the myriad of worlds, they were all first-class treasures. Although Lin Buzheng only had half a stalk of the holy medicine left, selling it for five thousand spirit stones was still more than enough.
Lin Buzheng opened the black stone box and handed the half of the sacred medicine to the dwarf. Then he quickly put away the black stone box, picked up the Soul Returning Wood from the stall, and turned to leave.
"Haha!"
"I put on an act and deceived that human brat, and finally sold the cursed Soul Returning Wood. Moreover, I sold it for a high price of ten thousand spiritual stones. I really struck it rich..."
The two faces of the dwarf looked in the direction that Lin Buzheng had left and laughed. There was an indescribable pride on their faces, and there was no sign of dispute or internal strife.
But immediately, the proud smile on the dwarf's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of regret. He muttered to himself, "Unfortunately, the black stone box in his hand is not for sale... That is a Taoist treasure that has been personally blessed by the Great Emperor. Even today, the power of the Emperor still exists. I really want to snatch it..."
"Idiot, fighting in the Ghost City, do you not want to live?"
When the face on the back of the dwarf's head heard this, its expression suddenly changed, and it scolded.
"Shut up, old thing!"
"I asked you to put on an act, but you lowered the price of the Soul Returning Wood so low. It's almost the same as giving it away for free. What a good-for-nothing!"
In the blink of an eye, the two faces of the dwarf were arguing again.
"Little Grey, what is so special about this Soul Returning Wood?"
"Why do you want me to buy this piece of black wood at all costs?"
Lin Buzheng frowned. Under the guidance of the World Tree and Little Grey, he finally bought the Soul Returning Wood.
However, after careful observation, he found that it was just an ordinary piece of dead wood, completely worthless.
"Meow, you have not cultivated the Heavenly Eye, so naturally you cannot see the mystery of this Soul Returning Wood."
"This piece of black wood is not Sacred Level Soul Returning Wood, but taken from a Quasi-emperor level Soul Returning Tree. Its value is at least ten thousand times that of the former!"
Xiao Hui crouched on Lin Buzheng's shoulder, casually replied, but the words from its mouth, made Lin Buzheng's heart trembled.
One had to know that a Holy-Grade Spirit Tree was already extremely rare in the world. It was the Tree of Providence of Ancient Sages and Emperor Clans, and it was worshipped by billions of living beings on an entire continent.
A quasi-Emperor-level Sacred Tree was naturally even more extraordinary. It had already resonated with the Great Dao of the world and was only a step away from evolving into a World Tree that could support the world.
If what Xiao Hui said was true, then this was not a Saint Grade Soul Returning Wood but a Quasi-emperor Grade Soul Returning Wood. One could imagine how shocking and unbelievable the value of this piece of black wood was!
Lin Buzheng took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. However, his face was still filled with doubt. "Since this piece of black wood is Quasi-emperor grade Soul Returning Wood, why does it not have any spiritual power fluctuations? It looks like a dead wood?"
Xiao Hui calmly replied, "Didn't I tell you just now? This piece of Soul Returning Wood is cursed. "
A normal Soul Returning Wood was dark brown in color. The higher the grade, the richer the spiritual energy it emitted.
A Quasi-emperor Grade Soul Returning Wood would produce layers of strange phenomena. Its imposing manner would be magnificent and spread across the heavens. From afar, it looked like a Quasi-emperor or a deity had descended.
However, this piece of Soul Returning Wood was different. Although it was taken from an Emperor-level Soul Returning Tree, it had suffered from some kind of extremely vicious and terrifying curse. This was why its spiritual power had dried up, and it had withered and decayed. The strange phenomena had disappeared and it had become no different from a dead wood.
The black stains that seeped out from the inside of the Soul Returning Wood were traces left behind by the power of the curse.
Xiao Hui took the Soul Returning Wood from Lin Buzheng and gently stroked it with its claws. "It can't be wrong … although this piece of dead wood is extremely safe in my hand, the curse contained within it is extremely terrifying. Once it erupts, it can even destroy a great world. It is this power of the curse that sealed the origin of the Soul Returning Wood. It seeped out from within and dyed the entire piece of Soul Returning Wood black.
"If this emperor's guess is correct, not only this piece of Soul Returning Wood, but even its main body, which has reached the level of a Quasi-emperor, has been infected by this incomparably terrifying curse. Even if it did not die, it is not far from death …"
Xiao Hui's words caused Lin Buzheng's hair to stand on end. It was as if he had seen an enormous Soul Returning Tree that blotted out the sun and covered the sky being attacked by a strange curse. Its branches and leaves wilted, losing its vitality, and finally falling to the ground with a loud crash.
"Although this piece of Soul Returning Wood has been cursed, the origin of the Soul Returning Wood has not disappeared. Instead, it is entangled with the power of the curse and is distributed throughout the entire piece of Soul Returning Wood.
"As long as the power of the curse is removed, the origin of this piece of Soul Returning Wood will reform inside. When the time comes, consume it. Whether it is for your body, soul, or the magical abilities of the World Tree, it will all be greatly beneficial!"
As Xiao Hui spoke, it returned the Soul Returning Wood to Lin Buzheng.
Lin Buzheng received it, his heart incomparably excited. He had never imagined that this small piece of Soul Returning Wood would contain such a great mystery.
But immediately, Lin Buzheng thought of something and asked Xiao Hui, "Since you have said so much, you should be able to break the curse contained in this piece of Soul Returning Wood, right?"
"Of course … not!"
"The curse contained in this piece of Soul Returning Wood is so terrifying that it can even curse a Quasi-emperor level World Tree. If you want to break it, you will undoubtedly need the same level of strength."
"If I still have my strength, I only need to blow a breath to easily break the curse in the Soul Returning Wood. Unfortunately, I have lost my origin of power and am just an ordinary civet cat. I can't help you even if I want to."
Xiao Hui stretched lazily and moved comfortably on Lin Buzheng's shoulder as it answered confidently.
"Since you can't break the curse, why do you want me to buy this piece of Soul Returning Wood?"
Lin Buzheng was so angry that he could not wait to kill Xiao Hui and make it into cat soup.
"Meow, don't be anxious!"
"Although I can't break the curse on it, you can!"
Xiao Hui replied calmly.
"This … Can I?"
Lin Buzheng was taken aback when he heard this, but he immediately reacted, "Yes, use the Demon Refinement Scripture!"
Given Lin Buzheng's mere strength of the Spirit Path, it was far from enough to break the curse of a Quasi-emperor level, but the Demon Refinement Scripture was different. This was a supreme cultivation technique written by the Nine Tribulations Demon Emperor, and it could infinitely purify and refine all spiritual objects. Naturally, it could also dispel the curse contained in this piece of Soul Returning Wood.
Lin Buzheng calmly held the Soul Returning Wood in his hand and silently communicated with the Demon Refinement Scripture in his mind.
Rumble!
A black lotus bloomed and demon qi gushed out.
A page of the Demon Refinement Scripture manifested in Lin Buzheng's mind and rapidly enlarged. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a demonic continent that emitted a destructive aura and awakened from its slumber.
Rumble!
Immediately, a monstrous force surged out from the Demon Refinement Scripture and flowed through Lin Buzheng's palm into the Soul Returning Wood, washing away the curse contained in the Soul Returning Wood.
