Chapter 2530

Seeing through his heart, the Third Ancestor gave a soft huff. "I shall take that as a sincere compliment."

"I do want to ask, how many more of those flowers you used to heal the Dao Venerables do you have?"

Lin Moyu replied, "I do have some, but these spirit flower are of no use to you, Third Ancestor."

The Third Ancestor said, "I know. These flowers are most effective for those below the Dao Venerable 7th Realm."

"Above the 7th Realm, their effectiveness is greatly diminished, and they have no effect on the Great Dao Realm."

Lin Moyu said, "So, what you want to know, Third Ancestor, is where I obtained the spirit flower, right?"

The Third Ancestor gave a dry chuckle. Even with his thick skin, this was not an easy question to ask.

However, not asking made him feel uneasy. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Then what do you think? Would I tell you?"

The Third Ancestor already knew the answer; naturally, he would not.

Lin Moyu shrugged. "Everyone has their own secrets. This is my own secret."

The Third Ancestor nodded. "I understand." He did not press the matter.

He knew very well that some things cannot be forced, and he did not want to make an enemy of Lin Moyu.

"Naturally, I would not force you," Lin Moyu said. "I would also like to buy something from you, Third Ancestor."

The Third Ancestor said, "Just find Little Lian for whatever you want to buy." Lin Moyu said,

"Since Fairy Lu Lian is here, I will say it now. I want to buy a flying magical artifact."

"The requirement is that it must be fast enough, and it must not require me to pilot it personally. A flying magical artifact that is fast enough."

Furthermore, not needing to pilot it meant that the artifact's grade had to be sufficiently high.

It also needed to have an artifact spirit. Either of these requirements alone would mean a high price.

If combined, the price would increase exponentially. The Third Ancestor's eyes gleamed slightly.

"Little Lian, that item is still there, right?" As the Grand Manager,

Lu Lian knew basically everything about the good items in the chamber of commerce. She did not even need to think.

She replied directly, "There is one. It is graded at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm."

"But its speed is no slower than a Dao Venerable 8th Realm flying artifact, and it has an artifact spirit. It is just that this artifact is not easy to bond with."

Lin Moyu said, "Please, Fairy Lu Lian, explain in detail." Lu Lian said,

"This artifact is called the cloud-piercing sword. It is a flying-type artifact with powerful attack capabilities. Its former grade was at the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable."

"Later, due to damage, it fell to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm, but its artifact spirit…"

"…still retains the pride of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. It is very difficult to bond with. A Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable ancestor once tried to make it submit."

"But the artifact spirit would rather risk self-destructing the artifact than submit. However, we feel it is a pity to erase the artifact spirit."

Lu Lian did not hide anything and described the situation of the cloud-piercing sword. With the Third Ancestor's methods,

erasing the artifact spirit would naturally be no problem, but the artifact's value would be greatly discounted. However, the artifact spirit would not easily submit.

Even ordinary Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts could do nothing about it. Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know why the artifact spirit refuses to submit?"

Lu Lian said, "I have communicated with the artifact spirit. According to it,"

"its former master possessed a special Gold Body Silver Soul constitution. Its soul level far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, so it looked down on ordinary cultivators."

Gold Body Silver Soul. Lin Moyu knew of this special constitution. The Gold Body Silver Soul was an extremely powerful cultivation constitution.

In terms of cultivation speed, it was second only to the Natural Jade Soul of Little Yue, but in terms of combat power at the same realm, it was slightly stronger than the Natural Jade Soul.

Gold Body refers to the physical body, and Silver Soul refers to the soul. The Silver Soul also belongs to the innate soul.

It is only slightly inferior to the Jade Soul. This constitution's physical body and soul are both stronger than ordinary people's, and as cultivation increases,

the physical body also becomes stronger. Within the same realm, the physical body can be called invincible. Even compared to the demon race,

it is only stronger, not weaker. Only those cultivators who specialize in the physical body can compare to it.

However, people who specialize in the physical body are not as good as the Gold Body Silver Soul at the soul level, and they would still be crushed.

If the former master of the cloud-piercing sword was a practitioner with a Gold Body Silver Soul, then its refusal to submit is understandable.

Artifact spirits also have their own pride. Having grown accustomed to fine grain, it would naturally not be willing to eat coarse food.

Lin Moyu looked at the silent Third Ancestor. "Third Ancestor, haven't you tried to make it submit?"

The Third Ancestor said, "With my strength, I have absolutely no need for the cloud-piercing sword."

This statement was fine, but Lin Moyu felt that the Third Ancestor must have tried.

He probably got snubbed. Lin Moyu knew the level of his own soul. Previously, it belonged to the acquired soul.

Now, after the baptism of the Dragon Breath from the eleven-colored dragon soul crystal, his soul has transformed from acquired to innate, and it is no worse than the Jade Soul.

Compared to the Silver Soul of the Gold Body Silver Soul, it should be slightly stronger. Moreover, his own physical body…

…far exceeds his cultivation realm. Perhaps he could make that artifact spirit submit.

Even if he could not, it would be good to give it to Little Yue in the future.

Lin Moyu said, "Then I will take this one. Please, Fairy Lu Lian, name your price."

Lu Lian thought for a moment and said, "For this artifact, we usually trade item for item."

"The asking price is a 6th-tier origin spirit vein. We do not accept origin crystal. A 6th-tier origin spirit vein is of extremely high value."

"It is enough to build a faction. Most people would not trade it for a flying magical artifact."

Lin Moyu said, "But I do not have a 6th-tier origin spirit vein. Even if I did…"

"…Lin Moyu would not be willing to trade it. It would be more practical to feed it to the Bone Hell."

The Third Ancestor spoke up, "How about this: use the ice-fire dao stone to trade for it."

"Of course, the value of the ice-fire dao stone is higher than the cloud-piercing sword. You can choose some other things to make up the difference. How about that?"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "Then let's do this. I do not need anything else."

"Just give me origin crystal. 3rd-tier high-quality ones will do. It just so happens that the little ones in my faction have grown up, and they might come out to gain experience."

"They will also need some origin crystal for expenses." The Third Ancestor agreed immediately. "No problem."

"I will have Little Lian give you a good price." Lu Lian said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is a distinguished guest of our chamber of commerce."

Chapter 3206 The Root Cause of Going to the Soul Void

According to the rules, a discount can be given. The deal with the Third Ancestor went very smoothly, and everyone got what they needed.

Lin Moyu obtained the cloud-piercing sword but did not immediately try to bond with it. Besides the cloud-piercing sword,

there were a full one million 3rd-tier high-quality origin crystal. For ordinary cultivators, one million 3rd-tier high-quality origin crystal

was simply an astronomical figure, but for the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce, it was nothing.

The Lufeng Chamber of Commerce has a saying: anything that can be bought with origin crystal is not a good item. True good items

must be traded item for item. However, for Lin Moyu, origin crystal had another important use.

They could be used to set up arrays. When there was no powerful magical artifact, origin crystal was a panacea for setting up arrays.

It could be used for any array, but powerful arrays required high-tier origin crystal.

High-tier origin crystal were difficult for others to obtain and were mostly held by sacred sects that possessed high-tier origin spirit veins. But for Lin Moyu,

high-tier origin crystal were easily obtainable. The origin crystal he fused last time

had been consumed quite a bit by setting up arrays one after another. This time, Lin Moyu took the opportunity to replenish his stock. Work was here!

Lin Moyu took out 540,000 3rd-tier high-quality origin crystal and threw them to [Infinite Fusion], the little guy, to fuse. Now, [Infinite Fusion] had become much stronger than last time.

It could now fuse origin crystal up to the 8th tier. 540,000 3rd-tier origin crystal were enough to fuse more than 2,000 8th-tier origin crystal.

By fusing some 7th-tier origin crystal as well and combining them, it would be enough to last for a good while.

As for the remaining origin crystal, Lin Moyu planned to bring them back to Yudao City and throw them to the Human Emperor to put into the warehouse.

He was not lying. The people in Yudao City had already started to come out one after another to gain experience.

Some of the origin crystal that Lin Moyu had left in Yudao City before had been used up quite a bit. However, in recent years,

the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had set up a branch in Yudao City, attracting many merchants. Yudao City collected some taxes from them.

It could still support the consumption. Even so, the warehouse was always in a half-empty state.

It was never full. As the master of Yudao City, Lin Moyu wanted to help Yudao City,

but he did not want to help the people in Yudao City too much. Some things still needed to be done by themselves.

Money had to be earned by themselves, and the road had to be walked by themselves. Lin Moyu would help,

but he would only help a little bit. After throwing the origin crystal to [Infinite Fusion], Lin Moyu took out the cloud-piercing sword.

On the blade of the cloud-piercing sword, there were a few tiny chips and a long, thin crack.

The cloud-piercing sword had been injured. Its grade had fallen from the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. Its attack power had dropped the most.

Its speed was next. Only the artifact spirit still retained its former pride. With a stir of his soul power,

the cloud-piercing sword was activated, emitting a sword hum. The entire sword shone brightly.

A tiny artifact spirit appeared on the blade. The artifact spirit had a very large head,

and a very small body, just like a big-headed doll. However, this big-headed doll

had a face full of arrogance, looking as if it were the best in the world. The big-headed doll looked at Lin Moyu.

"Who are you?"

Lin Moyu said, "Your new master."

A hint of mockery appeared in the big-headed doll's eyes in a very human-like way. "You, a person in the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, actually want to become my master?"

"You don't have the qualifications." Lin Moyu smiled. "Now, the cloud-piercing sword is in my hands."

"Whether you have the qualifications or not is not up to you," the big-headed doll said.

"Not to mention that you are only in the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, even if you were in the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, you would not be qualified."

"My master once had a Gold Body Silver Soul constitution. Only an existence like my master is worthy of being my master."

"No matter how strong the Gold Body Silver Soul was, did it not still die in the end? As for whether I am worthy of being your master,"

"this is not something you can interfere with. If you do not acknowledge me as your master, I will erase you!"

Lin Moyu was not a very easy-going person. A mere artifact spirit dared to resist him; if it did not obey, he would erase it directly.

At worst, he could let the Revenant manipulate the cloud-piercing sword. Even if it was not as good as the artifact spirit, at least it would be obedient.

The big-headed doll, this artifact spirit, had clearly existed for many years and possessed no weak intelligence. It immediately sneered repeatedly.

"Do you have the ability to erase me?"

"You are just a Dao Venerable 3rd Realm ant…" Before it could finish speaking,

the big-headed doll let out a strange cry and shrank back two steps. On Lin Moyu's palm,

a ball of flame appeared: World-Burning Fire, which could incinerate the world.

It could also incinerate souls, and at the same time, it was very effective against artifact spirits. It could be said

that World-Burning Fire was the nemesis of artifact spirits. At the same time the World-Burning Fire appeared, Su Pu also appeared beside Lin Moyu.

Su Pu said nothing and gripped the cloud-piercing sword with one hand. Under the suppression of the power of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable,

the cloud-piercing sword could not escape even if it wanted to. Lin Moyu said, "I wonder if you will self-destruct faster,"

"or if I will burn you into ashes faster?" The big-headed doll's face twisted into a knot. It had a feeling

that it would be burned to ashes by the World-Burning Fire, and once it was ignited, it might really not even be able to self-destruct.

As an artifact spirit, it also understood the way of life and death, so naturally, it did not want to die.

However, it was extremely unwilling to admit defeat just like this. The big-headed doll shouted loudly,

"I am not convinced!"
