Chapter 1100 Operations
Soul fixing bead as a consumable type of magic treasure, its efficacy will gradually decrease with the increase in the use of time, but for Xu Chuniang, who is in urgent need of things to nourish the soul, it is very practical.
Since walking the ground demon there left, Xu Chuniang went to other merchant houses, wanting to borrow their hands to let Master Pomegranate create more soul fixing beads for her.
As a result, when the other party heard her intentions, they rejected her on the spot.
“I’m sorry, although our merchant guild has a partnership with Master Pomegranate, there are very few quotas, only reserved for valued customers who have a long-term partnership with our merchant guild.”
The remaining few merchant houses, too, said the same thing, and even if Xu Chuniang offered to pay more magic crystals, it was to no avail.
It seemed that her ability to get Master Pomegranate to refine a Soul Fixing Bead for her through the connections of the Earthwalking Demon was already the limit.
But the attitude of these merchant houses reminded her of that.
All the scarce cultivation resources were kept out of the country, and the merchant guilds would prioritize the best magical materials to their valued customers with whom they had long-term cooperation.
If you wanted to get the best magic materials, you had to establish a long-term and stable relationship with them, otherwise you would always be able to only buy goods that others had picked out.
And she didn’t lack magic crystals or magic materials, she only needed to spend some time and effort to trade with these merchant houses.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuniang turned to look at the merchant houses behind her and walked back in.
Lifting the second seal that trapped the old man of the Soul Sorcerer Clan required nine Heavenly Demon grade Yin-essentials, and with her alone, she didn’t know how long it would take before she could find all nine Yin-essentials.
If she could utilize the power of these chambers of commerce, it would naturally be twice the effort with half the effort.
After making a deal with these merchant houses respectively, Xu Chuniang returned to her cave and took out the Soul Fixing Bead to start refining it.
As she refined the Soul Defining Bead, her divine soul began to ache vaguely again, but the process didn’t last long, as the Soul Defining Bead continued to be refined, the soul power contained within it silently merged into Xu Chuniang’s divine soul, allowing the pain to be eased.
By the time she had completely refined the Soul Fixing Bead, it was already seven days later.
If Xu Chuniang’s divine soul was a dry lake, then the Soul Fixing Bead was a small spring, from which living water constantly emerged, nourishing the dry lake.
It was just that this spring was not large compared to the lake, and it would eventually dry up one day.
This is also the reason why Xu Chuniang wants to get a few more Soul Determination Beads, accumulate water into an abyss, gather sand into a tower, to have ten or eight Soul Determination Beads, will be able to fill up this dry lake as soon as possible.
After refining the Soul Fixing Beads, Xu Chuniang took out the Star Soul Grass and Wood Scented Soul Recovery Pill and started taking them.
Although the Star Soul Grass and the top-grade Wood Scented Soul Recovery Pill were not in large quantities, their effect of restoring soul power was instantaneous, and when paired with the Soul Fixing Bead and the Soul Sorcerer Clan’s secret method, they were able to speed up the speed of divine soul recovery.
She roughly estimated that at this rate of recovery, in less than twenty years, her divine soul and soul power would be restored as before, which was more than half the time she expected.
For the rest of the years, except for the day when the auction was held every year, when Xu Chuniang would find the time to make a special trip to attend the auction and make a deal with the major merchant houses on the way, for the rest of the time, she stayed in her cave, running the secret method that the Soul Sorcerer Clan’s old man had imparted to her to nourish her soul.
Such days had lasted for a full eighteen years before her missing soul power and the dark injuries in her divine soul were finally replenished and repaired.
The transactions with the major merchant houses that had lasted for many years had not only allowed Xu Chuniang to smoothly bid for the magic materials in the Dragon Ball space, but had also allowed her to become a guest of the major merchant houses as she had hoped. After becoming a guest of the major merchant houses, it was indeed much easier for her to act.
After years of collecting, Xu Chuniang had as many as eight Heavenly Demon grade Yin items in her hands, with only the last one missing, she would be able to completely gather all the Yin items needed to lift the seal.
These eight pieces of the most Yin things, two of them, she encountered in the auction, directly with a high price shot down, the other five, is her and the major business houses, through the barter way to exchange.
As for the eighth piece, it came from Long Yu’s Dragon Ball space.
The huge red flame stone in the dragon pearl space happened to be sealed with an extremely yin object, and it was under the influence of the most yin object that the red flame stone would behave abnormally.
And the whereabouts of the ninth item of supreme yin, she had already inquired about it a few days ago.
This time, one reason was because her divine soul had been completely restored, and the other was naturally for the last item of supreme yin.
Xu Chuniang pushed open the stone door of the cave, and what met her eyes was still the dark sky and the pitch-black stone wall in mid-air.
Profound City is a city under the ground, even if this city in the beginning, the initial builders have tried to build it as tall and spacious as possible, but the dark stone walls in the mid-air, after watching for a long time will give people a depressing feeling.
Xu Chuniang hadn’t felt it when she was cultivating in the cave, but when she left the cave and faced this stone wall in midair directly, she still felt a subtle sense of discomfort.
With the City Protector Formation in place, Abyss City was safe enough, but in a sense, this City Protector Formation was more like a layer of turtle shells, protecting the cultivators in the city while also restricting their freedom.
After all, her strength is not strong enough, can only temporarily borrow the abyssal city shelter body, if the strength is strong enough, the depths of the void can come and go as they please, and why do you need this layer of turtle shell shelter?
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and walked in the direction of the merchant house, a road she had traveled many times over the years.
The earth-walking devil received a summons and learned that she had come out, and had long been waiting in front of the store, although he was fat, his eyes were sharp, and he saw her figure from a long distance away, his face showing the usual enthusiastic smile, “Here!”
He walked down the steps and welcomed Xu Chuniang inside, “This is not the day of the auction, why do you have time to find me? Could it be that you’ve gotten some good materials again?”
Xu Chuniang walked familiarly into an elegant room, poured herself a cup of tea, and casually said, “Didn’t you say a while ago that there was the whereabouts of the most Yin material, and it just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so I thought of taking my chances to see if I could make a gain.”
“So you came for this.”
The Earth Walking Demon had a look of wanting to say something, as if he had something difficult to say.
Xu Chuniang observed her words, “Is the news false? Or is it that the Most Yin Object has already fallen into the hands of someone else?”
“Not really, it’s just that the realm where the Most Yin Object was found has not been peaceful lately, and quite a few of our merchant firm’s experts have fallen in it.
In short, that place is very evil, and anyway, there is more than just that one item of the Most Yin Object, so I advise you not to go there.”
Xu Chuniang raised an eyebrow, “So, you have quite a bit of inside information at hand?”
“Insider information? naturally, there is a little bit.”
After a slight hesitation, the Earthwalking Demon lowered his voice, “I can reveal some of it to you, but you mustn’t pass it on!” (End of chapter)
