Chapter 57 Purple Soul Crystal, The Transaction
Inside the Stone Tower Cave.
"I am Liu Ya from Baiquanhu Market. I have met Fellow Daoist Ouyang."
Lin Li first cupped his hands and said.
Lin Li could still sense a sense of oppression emanating from the weapon refiner Ouyang Jue, even without using his divine sense to investigate him.
This is enough to prove that Ouyang Jue, who is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, must possess some extraordinary magical artifact.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu who has come."
"I had long heard that a fellow cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage had come to Baiquan Lake Market and brought many of his clansmen to settle here."
"Meeting you today, you truly possess an extraordinary air about you!"
"Fellow Daoist Liu, have you practiced ice-based magic?"
Ouyang Jue turned around, and the cold toad he was holding spat out a piece of ice crystal the size of an infant's fist.
After taking the ice crystal, he looked up at Lin Li and said.
Immediately, Ouyang Jue released the frost toad from his hand and threw the azure ice crystal into the frost pool behind him, where it landed next to one of the frost lotus flowers.
"good."
"He has indeed practiced ice-based magic."
"However, I'm not very skilled at it."
Lin Li was also somewhat surprised. Ouyang Jue really had sharp eyes; he could see through that.
This person may have practiced techniques related to pupil magic.
"I wonder if you could cast a second-tier spell into this cold pool? The few cold lotuses I planted have been unable to produce precious crystals for a long time."
"I'm very anxious."
"This time, we will absolutely not let Fellow Daoist Liu work for nothing. We will not take a single spirit stone from this crafting of magical artifacts."
Ouyang Jue spoke with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Under his spiritual eye technique, wisps of icy clouds appeared and disappeared around Fellow Daoist Liu, who was in the form of a spirit fox, indicating that the attribute of Fellow Daoist Liu's spirit fox form was ice.
"it is good."
Lin Li nodded in response.
He had only cultivated a second-tier ice-type spell, the Ice Silkworm Concealing Divine Technique.
"go."
Lin Li formed a hand seal, and a glittering white light flew out from between his eyebrows. After flying dozens of steps to the top of the cold pool, it swelled into a white ice silkworm more than ten inches long.
The ice silkworm contained an astonishing chill.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Jue's eyes lit up. His divine sense could detect the powerful cold energy contained within the ice silkworm.
It is at least nearly a hundred times stronger than the natal ice crystal cultivated by the Qi-refining Frost Toad that had just reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation.
The moment the ice silkworm entered the icy pool, its body melted, instantly freezing the entire pool with a thin layer of ice.
The ten ice lotuses began to greedily absorb the cold spiritual energy in the cold pool. In just over ten breaths, a fist-sized azure ice crystal condensed on the lotus platform of three of the ice lotuses.
"Hahaha!"
"good!"
The ice crystals were the refining materials that Ouyang Jue was currently lacking. Ouyang Jue then raised his hand and put the few crystals into his pocket.
"Fellow Daoist Liu's ice-based magical abilities have truly broadened my horizons!"
"Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."
Ouyang Jue was in high spirits, as Lin Li's move had solved a problem that had been bothering him for a year.
At this moment, Huo Yun looked at Lin Li with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He hadn't realized before that this Fellow Daoist Liu was an ice-type spirit fox.
A moment later.
Inside another stone cave.
The furnishings here are simple, with many stone boxes piled up all around, each with various restrictions on its surface, making it impossible to detect with divine sense.
"This is a second-tier demon puppet from Penglai Mountain, made of second-tier low-grade material."
"That's not bad."
"Was this demonic puppet personally subdued by Fellow Daoist Liu?"
At this moment, Ouyang Jue looked at the second-tier demon puppet whose head had been split in two, and saw that it was still emitting a strong second-tier sword aura. He asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Yes, I will collect it personally."
Lin Li nodded in response.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Liu to be so proficient in sword cultivation."
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you intend to refine this demonic puppet's materials into?"
Ouyang asked Lin Li, who was standing to the side.
"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, there's no rush. There's one more thing I'd like to take a look at. I acquired it by chance."
"It can shield against divine sense detection, and its material is at least second-tier medium quality."
After saying that, Lin Li took out the deep purple crystal, about the size of a millstone, and placed it in front of the demon and the human.
"This is…"
Ouyang Jue's expression immediately became much more serious.
Ouyang Jue hurriedly stepped forward, touched the amethyst with his hand, and used his divine sense to test and explore it.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you are truly blessed!"
"This item is called Purple Soul Crystal. Although it is a mid-grade second-tier soul crystal, its hardness is comparable to that of a high-grade second-tier spirit stone."
"Extremely valuable."
"Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Liu dug out such a large piece in one go; I have never seen anything like it in my life."
"This item alone is enough to forge more than two sets of second-tier magic weapons."
After examining the items, Ouyang Jue took a deep breath and said with a burning gaze.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I wonder if you would be willing to sell me some of these items? I am willing to exchange them for other goods."
"If you need anything, please feel free to ask."
Ouyang Jue simply couldn't resist the temptation of the Purple Soul Crystal. Once this item was refined into a magic weapon, even the divine sense of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could hinder its detection.
It can be said to be an excellent tool for saving one's life and escaping.
As long as you don't encounter any Core Formation cultivators probing you, you're safe.
"Since Fellow Daoist Ouyang desires it so much, I only require a full set of armor, a second-tier flying sword, and a shield; the rest are open to trade."
Hearing Ouyang Jue's resolute tone, Lin Li knew how rare this item was.
This time, Er Gou has done a great job.
"Does this friend possess the bloodline essence or spirit of a third-tier spiritual cultivator?"
"Even if there is information or clues about this, it is acceptable."
Lin Li asked.
Ouyang Jue, as a mid-level second-tier weapon refiner, was renowned among the many Foundation Establishment forces in the vicinity.
Having occupied Sanzhushan for many years, he knows a great deal and may indeed have accumulated knowledge in this area.
"The essence and spirit of a Core Formation cultivator..."
After listening to what Lin Li said, Ouyang Jue frowned slightly and fell into thought.
"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Liu, I don't actually have anything you want. But the only place you might find these things is at the Shadow Gate Market auction under the jurisdiction of Thousand Shadows Tower."
"The essence and soul of a Core Formation cultivator are such precious things that if we Foundation Establishment cultivators were to possess them, it could bring about our own demise."
Ouyang Jue said with a hint of helplessness.
"Do you have any of the second-tier superior grade?"
After hearing Ouyang Jue's response, Lin Li lowered his requirements by one level.
"Yes, we have this."
Ouyang Jue's disappointed look vanished instantly, replaced by a bright and cheerful expression.
He took out an old gourd from the storage bag.
"This gourd contains a drop of spiritual blood essence from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was originally intended for use when refining magical artifacts, but now it's perfect to exchange it with Fellow Daoist Liu."
Ouyang Jue spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice.
