Chapter 44 Talisman and Magical Weapon
Spiritual weapons have always been a legendary existence for cultivators in the Qi refining stage. This is not only because the method of refining spiritual weapons does not exist in Wuyin Immortal City at all, even in the rest of the Tianlu Mountains. In several high-level fairy cities, there are only a handful of weapon refiners who can refine spiritual weapons.
A real finished spiritual weapon is worth at least 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is more than twice as much as a top-quality magical weapon. It can be said that every cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection stage in the Qi refining period dreams of owning a spiritual weapon. Even most of the monks in the foundation building stage are very rare in possessing spiritual weapons.
The reason why spiritual weapons are rare is not only the rarity of materials, but also the main reason is that spiritual weapons need to be infused with the soul of monsters, and ordinary mortal monsters cannot extract the complete soul at all. Only monsters of level 1 and above have a certain probability of being able to extract the soul. This probability is so small that it makes people almost despair. One hundred true level monsters may not be able to extract a complete soul.
Of course, the probability of extracting a complete soul from killing an emperor-level monster is still very high, but as long as the monk is not mentally defective, he will not think of extracting the soul of an emperor-level monster to refine a spiritual weapon. After all, spiritual weapons Although it is rare and powerful, it is of little use to the Golden Core Stage monks. If you want to kill an emperor-level monster, the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage is the bottom line. This creates a A rather embarrassing situation.
Low-level monks can't get souls, and high-level monks don't bother to refine spiritual weapons. Another reason for the scarcity of spiritual weapons is that there is a probability of integrating the soul of a monster. Once it fails, the soul will be scattered. The only thing What is gratifying is that the spiritual embryo can continue to integrate into the soul until it succeeds.
It is precisely because of these many restrictions that spiritual weapons have become legends among low-level cultivators. If you can own a spiritual weapon, it would be great. The use of the spiritual weapon can have certain benefits because the soul is sealed in it. Autonomy, and more importantly, the loss of spiritual consciousness is almost negligible.
Therefore, a cultivator who has reached the Dzogchen stage of Qi refining can only control one or two magic weapons at most, but he can control three or four spiritual weapons, and his power is not even a bit stronger than that of a cultivator who uses magic weapons.
"Three hundred and thirty low-grade spiritual stones."
"Three hundred and sixty low-grade spiritual stones."
"Four hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
"Four hundred and three."
"Four hundred and six."
"I'll pay five hundred."
.......
"Six hundred." Xiao Lin finally raised his hand and said a number that made many monks gasp.
"Okay, this Taoist friend has paid 600 for a spiritual weapon, but it is a magical weapon that even the foundation-building stage is jealous of. Is there any other Taoist friend who can offer a higher price?" The white-headed man was also extremely excited, his voice was trembling, but he The smile in his eyes could not hide the joy in his heart.
Xiao Lin was speechless for a while. The old man knew the samadhi that adjusted the atmosphere and inspired the blood of many monks at once. However, as he said, it was the dream of all low-level monks to obtain a spiritual weapon. , even for a monk in the foundation building stage, it is something to be proud of to have a spiritual weapon in his life. Although, the old man did not explain that it is one thing to have a refining method, and it is another thing to be able to actually refine it. These business monks, who are not cunning and cunning, will naturally avoid the important points and ignore the weak points. They only talk about the advantages and avoid the shortcomings.
Sure enough, with the Pulsatilla's "provoking trouble", the number of bidding calls that were already sparse increased again.
"Seven hundred and three."
"Seven hundred and six."
"Seven hundred and nine."
"I'm offering nine hundred, who's better?" A big man even stood up, his eyes red and looking anxious.
"Who are you? I'll offer you nine hundred and three." Another middle-aged man with a beard also stood up, his eyes full of provocation, as if I'm going to bid whatever you want.
"One thousand." Xiao Lin sighed secretly and raised his hand again.
At this moment, the entire venue fell into silence, and all eyes were glanced at Xiao Lin. This made Xiao Lin's expression change, and he actually felt a chill running down his spine. However, Xiao Lin quickly regained his composure and his expression also changed. of indifference.
"Okay, this Taoist friend is offering a thousand yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Is there any other Taoist friend who can offer a higher price?" Pulsatilla's high-pitched voice sounded again.
Only this time, no one agreed. Just kidding, a finished elementary spiritual weapon only costs a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. In order to make a successful refining method, a thousand low-grade spiritual stones are needed. It's not worth it, even though this spiritual shield magic weapon is very rare.
What made Xiao Lin even more speechless was that the big man who asked for 900 and the middle-aged man with a beard who asked for 930 looked at him gratefully, as if they were grateful to Xiao Lin for offering a higher price, so that they were not impulsive. bought this refining jade slip.
Some of those eyes were filled with jealousy, some were filled with envy, but most of them looked like they were looking at fools. This made Xiao Lin frightened and also smiled bitterly to himself.
"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist, I got this jade slip for refining the Lingyin Shield." The white-headed man seemed to know that the price was far higher than expected, so he immediately accepted it and announced that Xiao Lin's bid was successful.
At this time, Xiao Lin reached out and called a guard over, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then stuffed something into his hand. The guard nodded and turned around to leave, while Xiao Lin continued to look at Shi Shi with an indifferent expression. Taiwan, looking forward to the next auction item.
"Fellow Taoists, what is being auctioned below is a seal of the primary wind attribute spell Cyclone Slash. This seal was accidentally obtained from the body of a mortal-level Dzogchen Wind Roar Beast after killing it. I want to know something about the Wind Roar Beast. All Taoist friends know how rare this Cyclone Slashing Seal is. The starting price is 300 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price is no less than 30 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.”
"Three hundred and three"
"Three hundred and six."
"Three hundred and nine."
...
Xiao Lin is not interested in this primary spell mark of wind attribute. Although he has practiced wind control at the level of Dzogchen and can already practice primary spells of wind attribute, this cyclone slash is not the seal he wants because This is an attack spell. The attack spells that Xiao Lin wants to practice are only from the fire and thunder systems. He already has the Great Fire Ball Seal for the fire system, and the thunder system's seals are even rarer. We can wait until later.
From Xiao Lin's point of view, even if he had the Huiyuan Pill to restore the consumed mana, it would still take at least two or three months to practice a basic spell to perfection. This was achieved by casting spells day and night. As a result, if you were an ordinary monk, it would take at least two to three years or even longer to practice a basic spell to perfection, let alone a primary spell.
After all, for Xiao Lin, the most important thing is to improve his cultivation level. Only by successfully building the foundation can his lifespan be doubled and the avenue can be expected. The purpose of practicing magic is to ensure that he can survive to that point. Otherwise, it would be putting the cart before the horse. .
In the end, the Cyclone Slashing Seal was auctioned off for 800 low-grade spiritual stones.
After a while, the monk who whispered to Xiao Lin came back and whispered a few words in front of Xiao Lin. After Xiao Lin nodded, the man left again.
Next, several more refining materials were auctioned. Some of these materials Xiao Lin had never even heard of, such as multicolored copper and lapis lazuli. Xiao Lin only learned from Pulsatilla that these two metals are extremely Rare, it is a material for refining several special and top-quality magic weapons. Even the refining of some spiritual weapons requires these two metals.
Xiao Lin has not seen the specific materials needed to refine the spiritual weapon of the Lingyin Shield, and even if he knew it, in his opinion, it is impossible to refine the Lingyin Shield in a short time. , the materials will be collected slowly later.
Soon, it was time to auction the last three final items.
Xiao Lin knew all the previous auction items, but he was also full of expectations for the last three items. From the previous auction items, it can be seen that Babaozhai has really devoted his efforts to this auction, which also made him Xiao Lin felt that this trip was worthwhile. Even if he didn't take any items that could directly improve his cultivation and combat power, it at least opened his eyes and gave him a certain understanding of the top circle of Qi-refining monks in the world of cultivation. .
There was a mysterious expression on the face of the white-headed man. He actually suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Everyone, now we have finally reached the most tense part of this auction. Our last three final items passed through our Babaozhai Elder Jindan’s careful selection will be of great interest to not only the Dzogchen monks in the Qi Refining Stage, but also the Foundation Establishment Stage monks. Below, I will reveal the first one for you.”
Pulsatilla gently waved his hand on the star ring, and a short blade with the length of a ruler suddenly appeared on the jade plate. The blade was only two inches long and had a slightly curved shape. The handle was engraved with exquisite patterns, which was even more peculiar. What's more, on the blade of this short blade, there are eight small finger-long blades tightly attached to it. Each of them is actually emitting a dim green light, and the blade of the short blade is even more emitting a green light. , if it weren’t for the sharp eyesight of the monks present, I might not be able to see the small blade on it at once.
Xiao Lin was slightly startled. At first glance, this thing was very similar to the Seven Blades Slash in his hand. This final item couldn't be just a mid-level magic weapon, right?
Seeing the confusion and confusion in the eyes of many monks present, the white-headed man finally showed a smile on his face. He seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's expressions. He said lightly: "Fellow Taoists, I think some of you have heard of the name [Use Talisman]. "
