Chapter 44: Instrumental Talisman and Instrumental Magic

Spiritual weapons have always been a legendary existence for Qi Refining cultivators. This is not only because the method of refining spiritual weapons does not exist in Wuyin Immortal City. Even in the other high-level immortal cities in Tianlu Mountains, there are only a handful of refiners who can refine spiritual weapons.

A truly finished spiritual weapon is at least more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which is more than twice the price of a top-grade magic weapon. It can be said that every cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi Refining dreams of owning a spiritual weapon. Even most of the foundation-building cultivators can only rarely own spiritual weapons.

The reason why spiritual weapons are rare is not only because of the rarity of materials, but also because spiritual weapons need to be injected with the spirit of monsters. Ordinary monsters cannot extract complete spirits at all. Only monsters above the true level have a certain probability of extracting spirits. This probability is so small that it is almost despairing. One hundred true monsters may not be able to extract a complete spirit.

Of course, the probability of extracting a complete spirit from killing an emperor-level monster is still very high, but as long as the cultivator has no problem with his brain, he will not think of extracting the spirit of an emperor-level monster to refine a spiritual weapon. After all, although spiritual weapons are rare and powerful, they are not very useful for Jindan-stage cultivators. If you want to kill an emperor-level monster, the cultivation level of Jindan is the bottom line, which has formed a rather embarrassing situation.

Low-level cultivators cannot get spirits, and high-level cultivators disdain to refine spiritual weapons. Another reason for the scarcity of spiritual weapons is that there is a probability of integrating the spirit of the monster. Once it fails, the spirit will be scattered. The only comforting thing is that the spirit embryo can continue to integrate the spirit until it succeeds.

It is precisely because of so many restrictions that spiritual weapons have become legends among low-level cultivators. If you can own a spiritual weapon, it will be amazing. The use of spiritual weapons can have a certain degree of autonomy because the spirit is sealed in it. More importantly, the loss of spiritual consciousness can be almost ignored.

Therefore, a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage can only control one or two magic tools at most, but can control three or four spiritual tools, and the power is much stronger than that of a cultivator who controls magic tools.

"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 offer five hundred."

.......

"Six hundred." Xiao Lin finally raised his hand and said a number that made many cultivators gasp.

"Okay, this fellow Taoist has offered six hundred. Spirit tools are magic tools that even the Foundation Establishment Stage is jealous of. Is there any fellow Taoist who can offer a higher price?" The old man with white hair was also extremely excited, his voice was trembling, but the smile in his eyes could not hide his joy.

Xiao Lin was speechless. This old man knew how to adjust the atmosphere, and he aroused the blood of many cultivators. However, it was indeed as he said. It was the dream of all low-level cultivators to get a spiritual weapon. Even for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, it was something to be proud of to have a spiritual weapon in his life. Although, this old man did not explain that having a refining method was one thing, and being able to actually refine it was another thing. And these business cultivators, which one is not cunning, will naturally avoid the important and only talk about the advantages, but avoid the shortcomings.

Sure enough, the white-headed old man "provoked" this, and the already rare bidding became more and more.

"Seven hundred and three."

"Seven hundred and six."

"Seven hundred and nine."

"I'll offer nine hundred, who can offer higher." A big man even stood up, his eyes red, looking anxious.

"Who do you think you are? I'll pay nine hundred and three." Another middle-aged man with a full beard stood up, his eyes full of provocation, as if he was going to bid, what do you want?

"One thousand." Xiao Lin sighed secretly and raised his hand again.

At this moment, the whole venue was silent, and everyone's eyes were all swept towards Xiao Lin, which made Xiao Lin's face change, and he felt a chill on his back, but Xiao Lin quickly regained his composure and his face became indifferent.

"Okay, this fellow Taoist offers one thousand low-grade spirit stones, is there any fellow Taoist who can offer a higher price?" The high-pitched voice of the white-headed old man sounded again.

But this time, no one agreed. Just kidding, a finished primary spiritual weapon is only a little over a thousand low-grade spirit stones. It is not worth it to pay a thousand low-grade spirit stones for a refining method that can be successfully refined, even though this spiritual hidden shield magic weapon is very rare.

What made Xiao Lin speechless was that the big man who bid 900 and the middle-aged man with a curly beard who bid 930 both looked at him with gratitude, as if thanking Xiao Lin for offering a higher price so that they did not impulsively buy the jade slip for refining the weapon.

Some of those looks were jealous, some were envious, but most of them looked at him like a fool, which made Xiao Lin shocked and secretly smiled bitterly.

"Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for getting the jade slip for refining the Lingyin Shield Spirit Weapon." The old man with white hair seemed to know that the price was far beyond expectations, so he immediately stopped and announced that Xiao Lin had won the bid.

At this time, Xiao Lin stretched out his hand to call a guard over, whispered a few words, and then stuffed something into his hand. The guard nodded and turned away, while Xiao Lin continued to look at the stone platform with a calm face, looking forward to the next auction item.

"Dear fellow Taoists, the seal for the following auction is a wind attribute primary spell cyclone slash. This seal was accidentally obtained from the body of a mortal-level wind roar beast after killing it. I think fellow Taoists who know about wind roar beasts know how rare this cyclone slash seal is. The starting price is 300 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than 30 low-grade spirit stones."

"Three hundred and three"

"Three hundred and six."

"Three hundred and nine."

......

Xiao Lin was not interested in this wind attribute primary spell seal. Although he had practiced the wind control technique to the level of great perfection and could already practice primary wind attribute spells, this cyclone slash was not the seal he wanted because it was an attack spell. Xiao Lin wanted to practice attack spells, so he only planned to look for them in the fire and thunder systems. He already had the fireball spell seal for the fire system, and the thunder seal was even rarer, so he could only wait until later.

In Xiao Lin's opinion, even if he had Huiyuan Dan to restore the consumed mana, it would take at least two or three months to practice a basic spell to perfection. This was the result of his continuous casting of spells day and night. If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would take at least two or three years or even longer to practice a basic spell to perfection, not to mention the primary spell.

After all, for Xiao Lin, the most important thing was to improve his cultivation level. Only by successfully building the foundation could he double his lifespan and look forward to the great road. Practicing spells was just to ensure that he could practice to that point alive, otherwise it would be a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

In the end, this cyclone-slashing seal was auctioned off for 800 low-grade spirit stones.

After a while, the cultivator 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 refining materials were auctioned. Some of these materials Xiao Lin had never even heard of, such as five-color copper and green gold. Xiao Lin only learned from the white-headed old man that these two metals were extremely rare and were used to refine several special and top-grade magic tools. Even some spiritual tools also needed these two metals.

Xiao Lin had not seen the specific materials needed to refine the spiritual tool Lingyin Shield, and even if he knew, in his opinion, it would be unlikely to refine this Lingyin Shield in a short time. The materials would be collected slowly in the future.

Soon, it was time for the auction of the last three items.

Xiao Lin had learned about 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 put a lot of effort into this auction, which made Xiao Lin feel that this trip was worthwhile. Even if he did not bid on 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 cultivators in this world of cultivation.

The white-headed old man had a mysterious expression on his face. He actually restrained his smile and said with a serious face: "Everyone, now we have finally reached the most tense part of this auction. Our last three items are carefully selected by our Eight Treasures Golden Pill Elder. Not only will the Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivators be very interested, but even the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators definitely don't want to miss it. Now, I will reveal the first item to you." The white-headed old man waved his hand gently on the star ring, and suddenly a ruler-long short blade appeared on the jade plate. The blade of the short blade was only two inches long and was slightly curved. There were exquisite patterns carved on the handle. What was even more peculiar was that on the blade of this short blade, there were eight finger-long small blades tightly attached. Each of them actually emitted a hazy green light, and the blade of the short blade even emitted a green light. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the cultivators present, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to see the small blades on it at once. Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. At first glance, this thing was 70% similar to the Seven Blades in his hand. Could this final item be just a mid-level magic weapon? Seeing the confusion and confusion in the eyes of many cultivators present, Bai Tou Weng finally smiled, and seemed very satisfied with everyone's expressions. He said lightly: "Fellow Taoists, I think some of you have heard of the name [Weapon Talisman]."
