Chapter 174: The Second Magical Artifact
"Soul fragments, then what are you offering in exchange? As for money or the like, I don’t need anything except for Spirit Stones. However, entry-level Spiritual Objects might be negotiable." Small Knife stated directly.
"We ordinary people have no means of purchasing Spirit Stones. Even Immortal Masters find them difficult to condense, so they basically require killing an Immortal Master, which is extremely hard to obtain." The Four Seas President sighed beside him.
"Everyone has to be responsible for their actions. I am willing to offer one Spirit Stone used by an Immortal Master in exchange for retrieving the soul fragment." Nine Heavens Sword sighed painfully.
"Eight pieces, you have four soul fragments, and the system’s estimated value is about the same." Small Knife responded without hesitation.
"Brother Dao, if it’s about money, we’re willing to pay double, but Spirit Stones, you must understand they are too hard to acquire...!"
"Forget it, when a deal fails, there’s still a friendship." Small Knife couldn’t be bothered to haggle and stood up to see the guests out.
The two presidents smiled wryly, was this even haggling? Not decreasing the price by a penny? Offering an utterly black price directly?
"The soul fragments must be retrieved; our Nine Heavens is ready to accept the loss, and the Spirit Stones will be sent promptly. Although these Spirit Stones will cost us dearly, making it difficult for us to explain to others." Nine Heavens Sword winced painfully.
Seeing Nine Heavens Sword agree, the Four Seas Union was somewhat dumbfounded; this was completely inconsistent with the Nine Heavens Sword they knew.
"Damn, are Spirit Stones obtained so easily?" The Elder was also somewhat dumbfounded.
"Additionally, we also request Brother Dao to sell us some Spirit Water brewed from this tea! We are immensely grateful." Nine Heavens Sword demonstrated enough sincerity before stating the main issue.
Small Knife was surprised for a moment but nodded and said, "No problem, we only accept Spirit Stones."
"Naturally, items that can nourish the soul are urgently needed by players. Brother Dao, please show mercy and offer a reasonable price, or I, as the president, can only step down." Nine Heavens Sword smiled wryly.
That surprise, putting on quite the act, everyone knew you brought them out deliberately, not just to sell at a high price, and didn’t want things too tense with our Nine Heavens Guild?
Only then did the Four Seas President understand and was shocked, quickly checking.
Upon drinking this Spirit Tea, there was a prompt, gaining some experience and the like, all very normal, though more than last time.
Impossible, if it were just this, how could Nine Heavens Sword possibly be willing to use extremely precious Spirit Stones to buy it?
"Detailed effects, consume Four Seas Union (team) contributions."
Instantly, some detailed effects of consuming Spirit Tea were revealed, surrounded by weak effects, normally not prompted.
"It actually can nourish the soul?" The Four Seas President gasped.
All players face the aftereffects of soul damage after death; this soul nourishment, even if weak, is extremely rare.
Rumors have circulated that some players obtained it, but it’s only a rumor, he’s never seen it.
After all, it’s something all players need; it’s truly a lifeline, nearly impossible to buy.
Major forces have all posted heavy rewards.
Better safe than sorry, nobody minds having too much.
Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to purchase.
"Don’t forget, we at the Four Seas Commerce Association also need to buy some." The Four Seas President quickly said, forcing out a smile; now was not the time to be yielding.
Small Knife was now somewhat in a dilemma, what price would be good?
This was that pond of water, which had already extracted the defective Sunflower Water Spirit Liquid.
After coming out, due to the Celestial Net, the evaluation changed. NovelHub)
Half-Spirit Water: Unentered Realm, Earth Grade evaluation, containing a trace of extremely weak Sunflower Water Spiritual Charm, ineffective for Transcenders.
Note: Can purify the body, remove impurities, heal wounds, eliminate toxins, and nourish the soul, but the effects are very weak, better regarded as negligible.
Note: Due to extremely low content, all effects only have a very weak effect on ordinary people.
Purchase price: per pound: 10,000 Bone Coins.
This purchase price shows it’s just like that.
Small Knife had no good feelings towards these two.
The minimum purchase price is one-tenth, with the highest being only 100,000 Bone Coins per pound.
To fleece them makes me comfortable.
If not you, then who?
Glancing at the two presidents, Small Knife slowly said, "This stuff is very scarce. I didn’t plan on selling, but it’s hard to refuse, so how about one Spirit Stone for every ten pounds."
Small Knife felt a bit guilty because his asking price was directly a thousand times the purchase price, a thousand times.
He indeed felt a bit embarrassed, worried about being ridiculed, quite undignified.
"Thank you, Brother Dao, for your generosity. We of the Nine Heavens Guild will remember this favor. Please provide a hundred pounds, and we’ll sign the contract; the Spirit Stones will be sent soon." Nine Heavens Sword was delighted and quickly said.
"Our Four Seas Union will also take ten Spirit Stones worth." The Four Seas President said painfully.
Spirit Stones, so hard to obtain.
But no matter how difficult, a big guild with tens of thousands of players still has a chance of acquiring them.
Yet soul nourishment? That’s utterly unobtainable.
"Alright, let’s sign the contract." Small Knife was delighted.
Today’s currency prices. NovelHub
Iron Coin equals 10,000 Bone Coins.
One Spirit Stone equals 10,000 Iron Coins, which is 100,000,000 Bone Coins.
But in reality, even with money, you can’t buy Spirit Stones, at least according to online reports.
Spirit Stones are an energy source used by Cultivators; Small Knife had little concept of them.
But directly consuming Spirit Stones can convert to 1,000,000 Experience; just for this, naturally, the more Spirit Stones, the better.
After signing the contract, with a time limit defined.
Small Knife was not stingy and directly brought out the Half-Spirit Water.
