Chapter 1226: Heavenly Punishment Secret Technique
Since Dark Moon Trading Company was founded by Master Ti Han, and it has been so many years, and since it is still alive, it must have developed into a huge force.
Xiao Lin knew his own limitations. It was impossible for him to take over such a large industry with just a token. For Dark Moon Trading Company to develop to this day, there must be many powerful people inside, and the interests of these people are complicated. Even if they knew that the Dark Moon Token in his hand was real, they would never hand over the company to him.
Before he had absolute strength, Xiao Lin would naturally not be stupid enough to touch this bad luck.
Xiao Lin did not continue to wander around, but found an inn in the inner city, booked a single-family quiet guest room, and moved in.
There were still a hundred days before he and Bai Ling went to the ancient ruins. Xiao Lin planned to take this opportunity to try his luck at the underground auction in Dark Abyss City. If he could get the rare materials he wanted, he could start refining the Purple Thunder Star Shield.
Xiao Lin already had several choices of the main materials for refining the Purple Thunder Star Shield in his mind. Each of them was very rare and precious. Once this material was put on display in the business, it was sold out. It was basically in a state of being in a market without price.
So Xiao Lin planned to participate in the underground auction here to try his luck.
Of course, the more important reason is that due to the special geographical location of the Dark Abyss City, the underground auction here is larger in scale, and the items auctioned are all rare treasures of shady origin. Since Xiao Lin is here, he will naturally not miss it.
Sitting cross-legged in the room, Xiao Lin did not practice, but waved his sleeves and revealed a dozen star rings. The owners of these star rings were naturally the Divine Transformation cultivators and three powerful cultivators in the Refining Void Realm who fell in Xiao Lin's hands.
Xiao Lin first pinched the magic formula and set up many restrictions, even setting up restrictions such as light isolation and sound suppression.
Xiao Lin looked at the star rings in front of him. Now the owners of these star rings had already died, so they were completely free of restrictions. Xiao Lin swept his mind and piles of spirit stones, materials, and items filled up most of the spacious room in an instant.
Xiao Lin first separated all the spirit stones and materials. After completing these, three star rings appeared on Xiao Lin's fingers. Now that Xiao Lin's realm has been improved and his wealth has increased, one star ring can no longer meet his needs.
In the world of immortal cultivation, even in this spiritual world, the normal space of a star ring is only more than 30 feet in radius. Of course, this space is enough for immortal cultivators to hold many items. For convenience, Xiao Lin divided all his items into three categories.
Among them, the white star ring contained all spirit stones, and with his current realm, the spirit stones left were basically above the middle grade, and the number of low-grade spirit stones was already very scarce.
Xiao Lin has everything from mid-grade spirit stones to first-grade immortal spirit stones. If his worth is converted into low-grade spirit stones, it would probably be at least over 1 billion. If placed in the lower realm, such a worth would definitely surpass that of a large sect.
But in this spiritual world, he can only be considered wealthy.
In this spiritual world, there are many spirit veins. Under the mountain gates of medium and large sects, there are at least dragon spirit veins. For those spirit veins below the dragon spirit vein, most of them are mined as spirit stone mines, such as the Lingze Mountain mine of the spirit race, and even the first-grade immortal spirit vein under the Lingze Peak, which are also used to mine spirit stones.
This makes the spiritual cultivators in the spiritual world accumulate spirit stone wealth exponentially increase as their realms rise.
Even some immortal cultivators above the fusion realm and the cross-tribulation realm spend tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones at a time. You must know that 10,000 top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 10 billion low-grade spirit stones.
Even if Xiao Lin's current wealth were converted into spirit stones, it would not be worth this amount.
Of course, for many top-level cultivators in the Tribulation Realm or even the Mahayana Realm, the medium for their mutual transactions has become fairy spirit stones, and the value of fairy spirit stones even exceeds that of top-grade spirit stones.
However, the conversion ratio between top-grade spirit stones and fairy spirit stones, and between fairy spirit stones, is not one to one hundred, but one to ten. For example, a first-level fairy spirit stone can be exchanged for ten top-grade spirit stones, and a second-level fairy spirit stone can be exchanged for ten first-level fairy spirit stones or one hundred top-grade spirit stones, and so on.
Therefore, in the spirit world, the higher the grade of the fairy spirit stone, the more spirit stones it can be exchanged for. The legendary ninth-level fairy spirit stone, a ninth-level fairy spirit stone alone can be exchanged for 100 million first-level fairy spirit stones and 1 billion top-grade spirit stones.
As for the wealth represented by 1 billion top-grade spirit stones, you can imagine it.
But it is self-evident how difficult it is to obtain a ninth-level immortal spirit stone. There are only a few ninth-level immortal spirit veins in the entire spiritual world, not to mention the probability of mining a ninth-level immortal spirit stone from them. The probability is probably not much lower than that of cultivating to the Mahayana stage.
In the spiritual world, the higher the realm, the wealth that can be leveraged is unimaginable for ordinary immortal cultivators. For example, the wealth accumulated by those super clans, even if the wealth of the entire human race is piled together, is not even a drop in the bucket of the other party.
This is why the power of the entire Holy Moon Continent will be reshuffled every once in a while. After all, the larger the area controlled, the more wealth can be owned, and this growth is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even tens of thousands of times. Which race can resist this temptation? Once the opportunity comes, almost no race will be willing to lie dormant, and will inevitably strive for a higher ethnic status.
As for those super clans and big clans, they will always be on guard against the subordinate races they control. Once there is a trend of becoming bigger, they will almost crush them without hesitation and strangle them in the cradle.
In normal times, these subordinate races act as their cannon fodder and coolies, doing some low-end work.
For example, why is the instrument domain of the human race the most powerful? In fact, most of the magic tools produced by the instrument domain are sold to the major immortal cities controlled by the spirit race, and the materials in the major immortal cities of the spirit race are continuously transported to the instrument domain. Of course, there are actually many existences like the instrument domain in the areas controlled by the spirit race.
The main factor for the rise and fall of power between races is the number and combat power of Mahayana cultivators. Once a race has a Mahayana cultivator, the status of this race will inevitably rise a lot.
For example, the Tianmu tribe has two top-level Mahayana cultivators in the tribe. In this way, even the spirit race dare not go too far. Although it is not difficult for the spirit race to destroy the entire Tianmu tribe with its strength, they will face endless harassment from these two top-level Mahayana cultivators in the future. Even if they replace the two Mahayana cultivators of the spirit race one for one, it will be enough to seriously damage the vitality of the entire spirit race.
If they face the threat of a large tribe like the Bone Tribe at that time, it is very likely that they will collapse overnight.
As Xiao Lin's realm improved, his vision and perspective were greatly improved, and he began to understand the survival logic of various races in the spirit world.
Xiao Lin then put all the materials that he could not use into the second star ring. These materials could be sold through major business houses in the future in exchange for spirit stones.
As for the third star ring, it was the one that followed Xiao Lin from the beginning. It was used to store some of his magic tools, skills and rare materials. Of course, there were more various elixirs and mature spiritual herbs.
After Xiao Lin advanced to the Refining Void Realm, the spiritual wood space also underwent earth-shaking changes. The range expanded to ten thousand miles. This area was already very amazing. Anyway, for Xiao Lin now, planting spiritual medicine here has completely eliminated the worry of insufficient land. On the contrary, his current worry is that there are not enough seedlings of spiritual herbs and flowers above the sixth level.
Spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs above the sixth level are all generated by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot be planted and cultivated through seeds. Such seedlings are sold less in major business houses, because for most immortal cultivators, they will only purchase those mature spiritual herbs and flowers to refine the spiritual pills they need.
Mature spiritual flowers and herbs above level 6 are extremely precious and rarely appear in major business houses. Moreover, even if they appear, they will be bought immediately.
Therefore, if you want to buy spiritual medicines of level 6 and above, the best place is those underground auction houses.
However, for seedlings of spiritual medicines above level 6, the best place to buy them is not in business houses and underground auction houses, but in the market. Unfortunately, the Dark Abyss City is a no-man's land with extremely poor security. There is no large-scale market in a fairy city, which makes Xiao Lin helpless and helpless.
In addition to spiritual stone materials, Xiao Lin also collected dozens of various magic weapons and spiritual treasures. However, the quality of these magic weapons is mostly medium and high-quality, and there are only a few of the best quality. There are also 20 to 30 low-quality magic weapons and spiritual treasures, all of which were thrown into the star ring containing materials, and they will be sold together when there is time.
After sorting all the items into categories, there are still a few items in front of Xiao Lin.
A broken animal skin map, a dozen jade slips, two jade boxes about a foot square, and a dozen spiritual medicine seedlings of less than a year. In addition, there was a thin yellowed booklet.
Xiao Lin first put the dozen spiritual medicine seedlings of less than a year aside, intending to transplant them to the spiritual wood space later.
Then Xiao Lin picked up the yellowed booklet. On the cover were a few vague big words - Heaven Punishment Secret Art;
Heaven Punishment Secret Art? Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and could not help but gently open the booklet. After a rough browse of a few pages, Xiao Lin could not help but fall into it and read it carefully. After more than two hours, Xiao Lin stopped and took a deep breath.
He vaguely remembered that this booklet was obtained from the star ring of the spiritual cultivator in the Void Realm who was killed by him.
In fact, the so-called Heaven Punishment Secret Art records the method of advancing Heaven Punishment spells. After practicing high-level spells to perfection, if you want to further improve, you need the corresponding Heaven Punishment Spell Secret Book. Just like the cultivation method of immortal cultivators, if you want to advance high-level spells to Heaven Punishment spells, you also need to practice to complete it.
And what is recorded in this yellowed book is the method of advancing dark spells.
Xiao Lin only read the beginning and already understood the method and path of the advanced spells of the Great Perfection level to the Heavenly Punishment Spell. The advancement of advanced spells is different from ordinary skills. The advancement of advanced spells needs to correspond to the route and attributes of the advancement.
For example, the booklet in Xiao Lin's hand records the advancement route of the advanced dark spells and the Heavenly Punishment Spell after the advancement.
There are several main directions for the advancement route, one is the attack type, one is the defense type, and the other is the escape speed type; in addition, a very small number of advanced spells can also take the route of the Heavenly Punishment Spell of the Defense Yuanshen type, but this kind of secret book is extremely rare, so rare that even if it exists, it is mostly circulated among the top-level cultivators.
The booklet in Xiao Lin's hand records the advancement direction of the Heavenly Punishment Spell of the Escape Speed type.
The cultivation of immortals is based on their own realm cultivation, while the other cultivation directions are mostly at the level of skills, such as magic cultivation, body cultivation, weapon cultivation, sword cultivation, etc. The purpose is to improve their own combat effectiveness and escort themselves to continuously impact higher realms.
At the same time, it is also to obtain more resources.
Most of the spiritual cultivators take the path of magic cultivation, and the spiritual cultivators, like the demons, have some people with magic seals at birth. The spiritual people with magic seals must have spiritual roots, but the spiritual people with spiritual roots do not necessarily have magic seals.
This means that not all people in the spiritual race take the path of magic cultivation. A few spiritual cultivators who do not have magic seals will also improve their combat effectiveness by refining magic tools like weapon cultivators.
And this kind of spiritual people are actually not welcomed in the spiritual race, and it is difficult for them to impact a higher realm. This is why most of the high-level cultivators in the spiritual race are basically magic cultivators.
For the spirit race who possess the seal, through hard practice, the seal in the sea of consciousness can be continuously upgraded, from the primary seal to the intermediate seal, and finally to the high-level seal. After the advancement to the spirit, it is integrated into the immortal root.
Of course, every advancement of the seal is a life-and-death test for the spirit cultivators. In comparison, the human cultivators cannot do it. If the human cultivators want to practice higher-level spells, they must kill the demons or spirits and get the complete high-level seal from their bodies.
Similarly, it is precisely because the spirit race needs to experience the catastrophe brought by the advancement of the seal that it is easier for them to advance to the spirit and spirit than the human race, and the success rate is much higher.
From this point, it can also reflect the fairness of the rules of heaven.
After advancing to the spirit realm, the cultivators are restricted by the power of the divine consciousness and cannot practice the heavenly punishment spell. Only after advancing to the realm of refining the void and having a deeper understanding of the rules of heaven and earth can they start to practice the heavenly punishment spell.
If you want to advance from high-level spells to heavenly punishment spells, you need the corresponding heavenly punishment secret techniques. Only by practicing the heavenly punishment secret techniques can you cultivate heavenly punishment spells.
