Ji Dong was flipping through the book called "Divine Art Fusion" when he heard an old voice coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw the youth from before and an old man walking in together.
Ji Dong's memory was extremely good, he immediately recognized that this old man was one of the few cultivators that he couldn't see through in the third floor of the Devil Master Union, an 8-crown Devil Master. The 8-star insignia on the old man's chest also showed his identity.
Ji Dong said, "I want to buy this book, can you let me read a few more pages, at most three pages will do."
The old man glanced at the 20 cores on the table, nodded his head and said, "It seems that you have been to the Saint Evil Battlefield before, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take out so many cores of the same level. Those who have been to the Saint Evil Battlefield are all heroes among us Devil Masters, I'll let you read three more pages."
"Many thanks."
Ji Dong immediately turned around, he couldn't wait to open the book and continue reading. In the process of reading, his eyes constantly emitted a bright light, his eyes revealed an unconcealable joy.
After flipping two pages, Ji Dong closed the book solemnly and said, "I'll buy this book."
The old man was slightly startled, he obviously didn't think that Ji Dong would make a decision so quickly. It must be known that the price of this book could be said to be the most expensive item in his shop. He had also read it in detail, but it gave him a feeling that it was extremely useless. It was only because of some of its characteristics that he purposely marked the price high, it was mostly used to decorate the shop, he didn't intend to sell it.
"You've seen the price, ten Rank 8 Core Crystals. I can give you double the price of ordinary Core Crystals. Ten Rank 3 Core Crystals are ten Rank 4 Core Crystals for ten Rank 4 Core Crystals for forty Rank 4 Core Crystals for a total of fifty thousand Gold Coins. The price of Rank 8 Core Crystals ranges from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand Gold Coins, depending on the quality. It would be best if you have a Core Crystal, but if you don't, I'll give you a discount for ten Rank 8 Core Crystals, just four million Gold Coins."
Listening to the old man's words, Ji Dong couldn't help but frown. A book selling for 4 million gold coins, this was definitely an exorbitant price. He could naturally see that this book was not very useful to ordinary Devil Masters, its true value was at most 100,000 gold coins.
However, if this book were to fall into his hands, the effect it would produce would not be comparable to 4 million gold coins.
The most valuable item on Ji Dong's body should be the dual-attribute 9th rank core dropped by the Thistle Lightning Fire Dragon. Although this core could not compare to the Thunder Divine Axe that Fury had obtained, it could definitely match the value of a 10th rank core. A mutated dual-attribute 9th rank core that was also obtained from the Holy Evil Island, its value could be imagined.
However, this core was also of great significance to Ji Dong, it was crucial for him to study the Fire and Thunder Combination Technique, he was really reluctant to take it out.
Seeing that Ji Dong was in deep thought, the old man smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sell this book for a while, you can go back and raise the money, I'll keep it for you."
Ji Dong looked up at him, waved his right hand, and a ball of red light burst out from the Vermilion Bird Bracelet. When he opened his hand again, there was already an item in his palm.
It was a crystal that looked like a miniature Yin Yang Crown, it was pure white, but it emitted an extremely sharp aura, the crystal was surrounded by a layer of black light, if one looked closely, they could see that there were at least six crowns on the crown of the crown.
"I don't have money, I'll use this to exchange, what do you think?" Ji Dong stared at the 8-star powerhouse from the Devil Master Union in front of him.
Seeing the item in Ji Dong's hand, the old man's expression changed, he almost lost his voice and exclaimed.
"Six Crown Dark Geng Metal Crystal Crown?
This … this … "
It was no wonder that he would be like this. Although the value of the crystal core was high, if compared to the Crystal Crown, it was like heaven and earth. If it was a Light Crystal Crown, then it wouldn't be of much use to the Devil Master of the Five Elements Continent, but the Dark Crystal Crown was different. Due to the harmony of light and darkness, such a Crystal Crown could be directly absorbed by the Devil Master of the same attribute in the Five Elements Continent. The huge amount of magic contained in it was enough to have an immediate effect. This Crystal Crown in Ji Dong's hand could completely help a Geng Metal attribute Devil Master under seven crowns to break through any bottleneck below seven crowns. The most precious thing was that this Crystal Crown wouldn't shatter because of the exhaustion of energy, it could still absorb magic from the outside world to replenish itself, and could be used for a long time. Just this Crystal Crown of the Sixth Order was already comparable to a magical beast's Crystal Core.
Ji Dong's judgment was very accurate. For the old man in front of him, perhaps the Six Crown Crystal Crown wouldn't be very useful, but the young man who had spoken to him before looked at least sixty percent similar to this old man. They should be a pair of grandfather and grandson, and the aura they emitted belonged to the Geng Metal attribute. Therefore, the value of his Crystal Crown would naturally be greatly increased in the eyes of these two. If he could have it, this young man's future path of cultivation would be much smoother.
The old man slowly raised his head, staring at Ji Dong with a burning gaze. "Good eyesight."
Of course, Ji Dong knew that the old man was praising him for being able to see through the grandfather and grandson's attributes. He calmly said, "I understand the value of this book, and the price you've asked for is already very high. I think this Crystal Crown should be enough to exchange for it. If you agree, we can immediately exchange. Of course, you will have to pay me in cash for the Crystal Cores from before."
Who would have thought that after hearing his words, the old man would actually shake his head and say, "No, this Crystal Crown of yours is indeed very valuable, but if I were to appraise it, it would at most be one and a half million to two million gold coins. The difference from four million gold coins is too great. If you have another one, I can consider exchanging it with you."
Ji Dong's gaze became a bit colder, and he said, "Old mister, a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Is this enough?" A light flashed, and a ball of light flashed.
The old man's hands were not like his age, and he almost caught the thing that Ji Dong had thrown over with lightning speed. This time, his expression became even more serious. What appeared in his hand was the emblem that President Xiluo had given to Ji Dong. The emblem was carved out of a red diamond, and there were eight shining stars on it. It was exactly the same as the eight-star emblem on the old man's chest.
"Eight stars?" The young man cried out in surprise. Where did you get the eight-star emblem?
In the entire ten headquarters, there are no more than twenty people who have this emblem. "
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I just got it not long ago. I heard that with this thing, you can get a 40% discount. Old mister, can you sell the book to me now?"
The young man's gaze was fixed on the eight-star coordinates in the old man's hand, and he murmured, "This must be fake. How old are you? How can you have the strength of an eight-star expert?"
"No."
The old man threw the emblem back to Ji Dong, and said, "This is real, because he just came out of Vice-president Xiluo's place."
At this time, the old man's expression was no longer as calm as before, and he looked a little solemn. He originally thought that Ji Dong was the son of an aristocratic family, and that he was going to sell the book at a high price, but this emblem completely dispelled his idea. Offending an eight-star expert, especially such a young eight-star expert, was definitely an extremely unwise move.
"This book is sold to you, deal."
As he said that, the old man took the six-crown dark geng metal crystal crown from Ji Dong's hand, and at the same time, took the book "Divine Fusion" from the shelf, and handed it to Ji Dong.
"Grandson, take out 50,000 gold coins for this mister."
The young man was still a little confused, but he still did as he was told. He took a storage ring, and connected it with Ji Dong's Vermilion Bird Bracelet, and the sound of gold coins colliding could be vaguely heard. After a while, the transaction of 50,000 gold coins was completed.
The old man was very polite to Hyōhime, and said, "Please forgive me for offending you just now. If you come to our shop again in the future, we will receive you with a 50% discount."
This business dispute could be said to have ended with both sides being happy. Although Ji Dong only paid a dark crystal crown, it was definitely a huge price. Of course, the old man and his grandson were satisfied, and Ji Dong himself was even more satisfied. To him, this "Divine Fusion" was already not something that could be measured with money, because as long as he learned it, it was equivalent to having a divine artifact.
Until he walked out of the headquarters of the magic masters, the smile on Ji Dong's face did not disappear. Before going out, he declined the invitation of the guide girl, who was blushing, and once again walked on the Fifth Earth Avenue.
At this moment, the words "Divine Fusion" filled his mind. Although he only read the first few pages, he already had a basic understanding of this Divine Fusion.
The reason why the Divine Fusion was so important to Ji Dong was that this skill was the use of mental strength. For ordinary magic masters, their own mental strength was used to activate and control magic skills, so how would they have extra mental strength to practice this skill?
But for Ji Dong, who had the fire of the soul, this Divine Fusion was enough to become an existence that surpassed the super core killing skill.
He had mental strength that was far beyond that of ordinary people, so he completely had extra mental strength to practice the Divine Fusion. The characteristic of the Divine Fusion, or rather, its function, was to fuse all magical items with one's body, turning one's body into a storage space.
The advantage of such a skill for ordinary magic masters was that it would be easier for them to hide their magic weapons, and they would be able to equip their weapons faster when using them. It was the same for Ji Dong, but there was one thing that other magic masters did not have.
The fire of the soul was a special flame produced by the fusion of Ji Dong's power of the soul and the Flame of Chaos. It was filled with creativity and Ji Dong's immense power of the soul. The Flaming Bar once told Ji Dong to carefully understand the creativity of Chaos. If he could release his own fire of the soul one day, then he would be able to greatly enhance the various attributes of any magic weapons.
How could it be easy to release the fire of the soul?
That was something that Ji Dong would have to do after winning nine championships.
However, now that he had this Divine Fusion, everything had changed. The fire of the soul could not be released, but through the Divine Fusion, he could fuse all kinds of magic weapons from the outside world into his own body, directly touching the fire of the soul, and using the fire of the soul to nourish them. With the quality of Ji Dong's Demon Lord Yin Yang Armor, coupled with the nourishment of the fire of the soul, Ji Dong believed that it would definitely become a real substandard artifact. After a long time, it might even evolve into a divine artifact.
How could he not be surprised to find such a skill?
Without a divine artifact, he could make a divine artifact himself. Only then could the effect of the fire of the soul be fully manifested. The Divine Fusion, to him, could be regarded as the best skill to turn stone into gold.
Ji Dong decided that after meeting up with the Flaming Bar tonight, he would study this skill as soon as possible and strive to master the Divine Fusion as soon as possible. He would first fuse his Twin Radiance of Sun and Moon Gloves, Vermillion Bird Bracelet, and Demon Lord Yin Yang Armor with himself. In the future, when he was in battle, he would be able to release them immediately, and at the same time, constantly evolve them. Not to mention all of them evolving, even if one piece of equipment evolved, its value would not be comparable to a Six Crown Crystal Crown.
Just when Ji Dong was filled with excitement, suddenly, his fire of the soul moved slightly. He subconsciously raised his head and looked forward. Not far in front of him stood a person, staring coldly at him. It was the brawny man who had caused trouble in the Magic Master Guild and had his arm shattered by Ji Dong's God Slaying Strike.
Seeing that Ji Dong had noticed him, he raised his other arm and pointed at Ji Dong. Then, he pointed at a dark alley at the side, turned around and walked in that direction.
A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Ji Dong's mouth. He didn't pay attention to the brawny man and continued walking forward. He directly passed through the Fifth Earth Avenue and entered the Sixth Earth Avenue.
Not long after, an angry emotional fluctuation came from behind. The brawny man had already caught up. His voice was filled with anger and resentment, "Brat, are you afraid?"
Ji Dong didn't even turn his head and said indifferently, "Are you worthy?"
"You …" With a flash, the brawny man had already blocked in front of Ji Dong. Speaking of which, his willpower was considered strong. Even though one of his arms had been shattered, he still dared to pester Ji Dong. At the same time, two powerful auras came from both sides of Ji Dong, forming a triangle with the brawny man in front of him. They sandwiched Ji Dong in the middle of the Earth Avenue.
Ji Dong's expression didn't change. He said, "If you don't mind losing your other arm as well, you can continue blocking my path."
The brawny man snorted angrily and said, "Brat, for offending our Magic Skill Guild, I will definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death. If you have the ability, follow us out of the city and we will settle this once and for all."
Ji Dong curled his lips and said, "I don't have the time right now. If you are willing to wait, you can follow behind me. I will send you to your death after I'm done with my business."
"You …" The brawny man was furious, but he didn't make a move in the end. The Fifth Earth Avenue and the Sixth Earth Avenue were the two most prosperous avenues in the Central Plains City.
