"Tens of thousands of spirit stones …" Wang Lin's eyes lit up.
He didn't have tens of thousands of high quality spirit stones. However, even one top quality spirit stone was priceless. If he took out a top quality spirit stone, he would be able to lower the price.
But it was clear that one top quality spirit stone wasn't enough. In the end, he would need several. Although he could get the recipe, he would lose a lot of money.
Of course, if he used celestial jades, he could also get the recipe.
However, with Wang Lin's personality, even though he was determined to get the recipe, he wouldn't directly trade for it if he needed too much.
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. Then he slapped his bag of holding and took out a wood carving. This wood carving was a defective product from when he made the Wooden Passage Carving. Although it only had a trace of the domain of the Spirit Severing stage, it had the power of a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
There were also several blood meridians inside the wood carving. This wood carving was the same as a puppet and didn't have any restrictions on its use.
This kind of treasure was very important to the cultivators of the Sea of Devils.
The white-haired old man's eyes lit up as he looked at the wood carving. What he cared about wasn't the strength of the wood carving, but the technique used to make it.
The Treasure Refining Pavilion was famous for refining treasures, so the white-haired old man's refining skills were naturally not low. He could immediately tell that the wood carving was not ordinary.
Whether it was the trace of the domain of the Spirit Severing stage or the blood meridians inside, they could all be said to be heavenly work.
However, he kept having the feeling that he had seen the blood meridians inside somewhere before.
Wang Lin took out the wood carving, threw it down, and said,
"This will be the price!"
Xu Luo had been paying attention to the third floor. When he saw the wood carving, he immediately jumped up and respectfully caught it. Then he handed it to the appraisers next to him.
When the appraisers saw the wood carving, their expressions changed and they began to whisper among themselves.
The white-haired old man pondered for a bit before his eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at Wang Lin and said, "Fellow cultivator, could the blood veins inside the wood carving be the ice puppet technique of Xue Yue?"
Wang Lin looked at the white-haired old man and was a bit surprised that he could recognize Xue Yu's method. However, after thinking about it, this old man had been at the Spirit Severing Realm for many years, and as the person in charge of the Blacksmith Pavilion, it wasn't strange that he was knowledgeable.
Wang Lin nodded. At this moment, the appraisers on the first floor raised their heads. One of them said in a deep voice, "I've never seen this item before, but I can confirm that it has the same effect as a late Nascent Soul stage puppet. It's priced at 5000 high-grade spirit stones."
As soon as he said this, the people on the first floor immediately looked at the wooden carving. At the same time, they raised their heads and glanced at the third floor.
Wang Lin frowned. The value of this item was definitely more than 5,000 spirit stones.
The white-haired old man also frowned. He let out a snort as if he was sending a message.
The appraisers didn't know what this item was, but with his cultivation, he was able to see its value at a glance. Not to mention the blood veins inside the wood carving were enough to double the value of this item. Not to mention, it also contained a sliver of the Spirit Severing domain.
For a rank 6 pill recipe that was already worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, 5,000 spirit stones wasn't enough.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm. He didn't say a word as he looked at the door of the room.
Shortly after, a beautiful girl came up from the second floor. After respectfully greeting Wang Lin, she entered the room, put down a piece of purple jade, and left.
"Fellow cultivator, this old man will buy your puppet. This purple jade strip can be exchanged for twenty thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones in any of the main city shops of the Weapon Forging Pavilion," said the white-haired old man.
Wang Lin smiled. He didn't even look at the jade. Instead, he looked at the first floor and said, "I bid 20,000 high-grade spirit stones."
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar. At this moment, a female voice came out from the room in the middle of the third floor, "30,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Wang Lin frowned.
At this moment, Qiu Siping gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Wang, I still have 4,000 high-grade spirit stones."
"No need!" Wang Lin's voice was calm.
30,000 high-grade spirit stones was a large amount even in the Kingdom of Rosefinch. After a long time, no one increased the price. In the end, the rank 6 pill recipe was bought by the person in the middle of the room.
After all, even though rank 6 pill recipes were rare, most of the materials used to refine them were extinct. 30,000 high-grade spirit stones was a sky-high price.
Of course, if it was a rank 6 pill, it would be different.
The white-haired old man shook his head and left. He didn't take the purple jade with him. Instead, he left it on the table.
"Let's go!"
Wang Lin stood up and put away the jade. His expression was normal, but his eyes were cold. He went down the stairs with Li Muwan and returned to the inn.
"Wang Lin, that pill recipe is nothing. Moreover, we don't know what kind of pill is recorded in it …" Li Muwan said softly in the room.
Wang Lin faintly smiled and said, "Wait for me here. I'm determined to get that pill recipe!"
The twins hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Wang Lin's eyes swept across the room and landed on Lu Fei and Tie Yan. He said, "You two stay here and guard it!"
Lu Fei and Tie Yan immediately nodded.
Wang Lin took a step forward and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was outside the Inverse Devil City.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and disappeared again. This time, he appeared on a cliff three thousand miles away. At this moment, there was a woman standing on the cliff. She was wearing a green robe and had a white veil covering her face. Behind her stood an old man.
The old man's eyes were calm. There didn't seem to be any fluctuation of spiritual energy in his body. The moment Wang Lin appeared, the old man's eyes flashed and a ray of light burst out.
"Junior Zhou Yanhong greets senior."
The woman in green had a pleasant voice. When she saw Wang Lin, her eyes were as calm as water.
"You led me here. If you can't give me a satisfactory reason, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Lin's expression was normal.
The woman in green's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Senior's wisdom is extraordinary. I admire you."
This woman was also on the third floor, so she naturally knew what happened on the third floor. She knew that Wang Lin had an earth cultivator at the Soul Formation Realm. However, after seeing him bid 20,000, she still raised the price by 10,000. There must be something fishy about this.
Also, after leaving the Treasure Refining Pavilion's auction house, not only did this woman not leave, she had been waiting here. Wang Lin naturally saw through her intentions.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Lin's voice was cold.
The old man behind the woman in green snorted and took a step forward.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and landed on this person. He said, "You have just reached the Soul Formation Realm and haven't stabilized yet. What you have comprehended is someone else's domain. Back down!"
The old man's face was gloomy, but his heart was shaking. He gritted his teeth and steadied himself.
Wang Lin looked at the old man and flicked his right hand. Suddenly, a ray of spiritual energy shot out from his finger. The old man's expression changed greatly. He immediately slapped his bag of holding and took out an umbrella-shaped magical treasure. He opened it and it emitted waves of colorful light.
"You overestimate yourself!" Wang Lin snorted.
Bang!
When the spirit seal was imprinted on the umbrella, cracks immediately appeared on the umbrella-shaped magic treasure. The five-colored light immediately dimmed. The old man's body seemed to have been hit by a powerful force and was pushed back several meters. His face was strangely red, and it took him a while to return to normal.
Wang Lin didn't want to kill him. Instead, his gaze fell on the woman.
The woman in green's eyes revealed a trace of fear. After pondering for a while, she took out a brocade box from her bag of holding and handed it over with both hands.
Wang Lin's right hand reached out and the brocade box fell into his hand. He gently patted it and the box shattered. A jade slip floated out. He picked up the jade slip and looked at it. Then he copied a copy and threw the jade slip to the woman. He said, "Speak. Why did you lure me here?"
The woman in green took the jade slip. She took a deep breath and whispered,
"Senior, I was reckless before because I had no other choice. There is a reason for this. I hope that senior can help me this once for the sake of this rank 6 pill recipe."
Wang Lin's expression remained the same and he remained calm.
The woman in green clenched her teeth and said, "I'm from the Piaomiao Sect in the Zhou Country. My father is the Sect Master of the Piaomiao Sect. My father entered the Immortal Graveyard twenty years ago and hasn't returned. The Immortal Graveyard is one of the two most dangerous places in Suzaku. It's as famous as the Nine Serenity Barren Land. I can't enter with my cultivation. Please help me enter and find my father's remains."
After that, the woman in green looked sad. She pursed her lips and waited for Wang Lin's reply.
"I don't have time!"
Wang Lin said calmly. He patted his bag of holding and took out the purple jade slip from the white-haired old man. He threw it to the woman and said, "This jade slip is worth twenty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones. Consider it the money for copying."
After that, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
The woman in green stared at the direction Wang Lin disappeared. Her eyes were filled with despair. She originally didn't have any hope, but when she saw Wang Lin on the third floor, the old man beside him told her that he was a Soul Formation cultivator.
After hearing this, hope was ignited in her heart. Later, when she saw the white-haired old man from the Treasure Refining Pavilion, she was even more certain.
That's why she bought the jade slip. Her goal was to lure Wang Lin here.
Wang Lin really didn't have time. The rank 6 pill recipe was called the rank 6 Return to Origin Pill. Just like its name, the Return to Origin Pill could be refined even in rank 1 and 2 cultivation countries.
However, what they refined were only rank 1 and 2 Return to Origin Pills.
There was only one effect of the Return to Origin Pill, and that was to increase the speed at which a cultivator could absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi several times over for a short period of time.
The rank 6 Return to Origin Pill was the same, but the increase in speed was terrifying. However, there was a limit to this pill. Each person could only take one pill every 100 years. If they took too many, their body would be crystallized by the sudden increase in spiritual energy.
As a result, they would become a human-shaped crystal and their soul would be sealed inside.
After a long period of refinement, as the human-shaped crystal became smaller and smaller, there was a chance that it would become a sub-top quality Spirit Stone.
In ancient times, there was no other way to obtain top quality Spirit Stones other than by refining them. Naturally, there weren't many of them.
Thus, the existence of the high-grade Return to Origin Pill was created. In fact, the top quality Spirit Stones that were popular in ancient times were mostly made this way.
However, the chances weren't very high.
