A spirit seed could shed a spirit to give birth to a spiritualized weapon or talent.
The One True God had snatched the turbid spirit seed bestowed by the heavens. He had used this method to escape the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Grand Empyrean and also to cultivate using the spirit seed.
He had cultivated so much power, so why not try and see if this spirit seed could be cultivated?
Thinking of this, Lu Yin exhaled and took out a spirit seed. As he looked at it, he became engrossed in it.
He tried to put the spirit seed into his body, but the most awkward question was, where should he put it?
He looked for Old Tao.
"Spirit seed?" Old Tao was confused. "Does the owner want to cultivate a spirit seed?"
Lu Yin said, "Study it."
Old Tao was speechless. "Only when a normal person starts cultivating and puts a spirit seed into their body can they cultivate. Those who have a cultivation foundation can't do it because the spirit seed is too weak the moment it enters the body. It's so weak that it can even break a normal person's heart."
"That's why you can't cultivate just because you have a spirit seed. Some people can only start cultivating after one, two, or three tries. Some people are born with special constitutions and only succeed after dozens of tries. The owner is already a cultivator, so it's impossible for him to put a spirit seed into his body."
Lu Yin didn't believe him. "Just tell me how."
"Anything works, as long as it enters the body."
Lu Yin ate it, and it broke the moment it entered his body.
He tried again and tore a wound on his hand. The spirit seed entered his body, but it broke the moment it touched his blood. He tried again and again. Even if he wrapped it with his own power, the spirit seed would break as soon as he opened it. If he didn't open it, how could he cultivate?
Just as Old Tao said, the spirit seed was too weak. It was so weak that it couldn't be cultivated.
"There's only one type of spirit seed?"
"Yes."
"Is there no way to find a stronger spirit seed?"
Old Tao was confused. "No, there's only one type of spirit seed since ancient times."
Lu Yin thought of the turbid spirit seed bestowed by the heavens. If that was the case, he should be able to cultivate it. It would give him a second chance to spirit molt, which was equivalent to having another spiritualized weapon or talent.
When he felt the One True God's power, he should have succeeded in putting a spirit seed into his body. Even his own strength had recovered a lot.
He wondered what it would be like when he saw the only true god again.
Old Tao left. He knew that Lu Yin was invincible and could do what others couldn't, but cultivating with a spirit seed was impossible. It was absolutely impossible. Even Yu Sang Tian couldn't do it. Otherwise, who wouldn't want an extra chance to shed a spirit?
The more talented a person was, the more powerful a spiritualized weapon or spiritualized talent could be born from a spirit molt.
The main method of battle for spiritualized universes was to follow a unified cultivation method, reaching the apex of the laws of sequence, reaching the Primordial realm, and even overcoming the Tribulation Realm. What supported this was the power of Spirit Molting. If there really was a Spirit Seed that could enter a cultivator's body, the strength of a spiritualized universe would not be as simple as doubling. Instead, it would undergo a metamorphosis, a complete metamorphosis.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
No matter how powerful the head of the household was, he couldn't do it.
Although Lu Yin's battle prowess was unparalleled and his talent was top-notch, he wasn't truly omnipotent. Even someone as strong as Yu Sang Tian was wary of the Way of Karma.
After trying for two days, until the competition for the Chamber of Commerce was about to start, he still couldn't find a way to let the spirit seeds enter his body. He had no choice but to store all the spirit seeds on the land in the starry sky in his heart.
As for the cosmic ring, there was no need for it, as he had no intention of spending any money in the spiritualized universe.
Why had he placed them in his heart?
In the starry sky, he wanted to ensure that the energy would not circulate in the spiritualized universe.
In the Genesis Space, star crystals and star essence could be artificially created, and they could also be found. This was because the power of star energy only existed in the Genesis Space, and it would disappear once it left the Genesis Space. When a cultivator cultivated, battled, or died, their energy would evaporate in the starry sky in a way that was not visible to the naked eye. In the end, it would follow the laws of the universe and condense into star energy ores or float in the starry sky for the cultivator to absorb.
Lu Yin did not know if this would happen to the spirit seeds as well. To prevent this from happening, he had placed all the spirit seeds in the starry sky in his heart. That way, even if they shattered and evaporated, they would not flow into the spiritualized universe.
This thought gave Lu Yin another idea. If he took away all the spirit seeds in the spiritualized universe, wouldn't there be no one to carry on the spiritualized universe?
How could they cultivate without spirit seeds?
When he thought of this, Lu Yin excitedly participated in the competition for the Chamber of Commerce. Yi Sang Tian had already arrived.
At this moment, everyone in Buyi City looked in one direction, which was the center of the city. The competition for the Chamber of Commerce would be held there.
Even though every Chamber of Commerce had paid a huge price to participate, and there were many Chambers of Commerce gathered here, including the powers that used their names, it did not attract much attention from the spiritualized universe. The only thing that could possibly attract attention was Yi Sang Tian's appearance.
He was no longer called Yi Sang Tian, but rather President Yi. Yi Shang had already lost his position.
This was the first time Yi Shang had made an official appearance after losing his position.
Out of the eleven Chambers of Commerce, only eleven Chambers of Commerce were participating in the competition.
"There were originally forty-six Chambers of Commerce on the list, but more than half of them have disappeared in just a few days," Ye Zichen sighed.
Ye Yaner looked at the various Chambers of Commerce in front of her. Some of them looked over, but she was not afraid. She just stared at them, and those who did not seem to be doing much.
Anyone who could enter this place was not simple.
Lu Yin casually sat in a corner, as this angle was suitable for watching the show.
The people from the Boat Region did not come. Lu Yin had already instructed the Hundred Leaves to sell the materials for the battleships to the Boat Region as soon as possible after becoming the Chamber of Commerce.
They did not doubt Lu Yin's ability to obtain a spot in the Chamber of Commerce.
Yue Susu arrived with the people from the small Chambers of Commerce and bowed to Lu Yin from afar.
The surrounding Chambers of Commerce were very quiet and did not interact with each other until the people from the main Chamber of Commerce arrived.
The leader was Rong Xiang, followed by Rong Hua and the rest of the cultivators from the main Chamber of Commerce.
The competition was held casually; twenty years was too short for cultivators. This was just a way for the main Chamber of Commerce to make money, so there was no need to make it too grand.
As long as Yi Shang was not in seclusion or fighting, he would appear every time, which was already a great honor.
Rong Xiang stood at the front and scanned the various Chambers of Commerce, "The competition for the Chamber of Commerce is about to begin. Many things have happened in the past few days, and I don't know which of you did it. It's best if you don't get found out, or I'll let you know the rules of the main Chamber of Commerce."
The Chamber of Commerce had absolute control over the competition, and they did not care what the other Chambers of Commerce thought. They only cared about their own dignity and earning money.
"Please, President," Rong Xiang slowly retreated.
Rong Hua and the rest of the cultivators from the main Chamber of Commerce trembled and bowed slightly.
Below them, the competing Chambers of Commerce had solemn expressions. Yi Sang Tian, no, Yi Shang, was about to appear.
Even though he had lost to Yi Nan of Tian Shou and lost his title, he was still an expert at Sang Tian's level.
This was because, in the entire spiritualized universe, there were not many who could fight against him.
The void distorted, and Lu Yin saw the round-faced elder again. He was chubby and looked like a businessman. There was a smile on his face, and he did not show any emotions even though he had lost his Sang Tian position. Instead, it was written all over his face that amiability would bring wealth.
Lu Yin's gaze deepened. This was not the first time he had interacted with this person, and they had even fought more than once in the past thirty-seven years. At the border of the spiritualized universe, this person's Sequence Foundation had been stolen, which was probably the reason he had lost his Sang Tian position.
Many people in the outside world were investigating the Sealed Realm's whereabouts. It had always been under Yi Shang's control, and now that he had lost his Sang Tian position, he no longer had the right to control the Sequence Foundation.
Many eyes were focused on this.
However, the Sealed Realm had never appeared, and Beyond Heaven had not expressed its stance.
The Zhikong Realm, Tian Shou, and the main Chamber of Commerce had jointly put on a show and allowed Yi Nan to take his position. What would Yi Shang gain from this?
If everything went smoothly and Yi Nan replaced Yi Shang, how would the Zhikong Realm manipulate the relationship between the three?
Lu Yin did not ask Elder Yu, as he would not get an answer even if he did.
That old man was very sinister.
Yi Shang appeared, and his gaze swept past everyone. It paused on Lu Yin and then on Yue Susu. Clearly, he could see the problem that Rong Xiang could not.
"Let's begin."
Yi Shang did not waste any time and only spoke three words. He looked at Lu Yin again and nodded imperceptibly as a greeting.
He knew that Lu Yin would come, as Elder Yu had reminded him to investigate the deaths of Eight Willows and Yi Yao. He had not wanted to stay, as he was extremely wary of Lu Yin. The battle at the border had left him terrified.
However, there were some people that he could not avoid.
During the border battle, he had been schemed against by Yu Sang Tian, which had caused the Grand Chamber of Commerce's strength to completely collapse. In the entire spiritualized universe, he was one of the seven powers that had clashed with the Dayu Villa for the first time, and he had a deep understanding of how terrifying the Dayu Villa was.
Yu Sang Tian's side had already been reduced to such a state, which was why he had agreed to Elder Yu's suggestion to give up his position to Yi Nan. Otherwise, Sky's Hand would be able to suppress the Grand Chamber of Commerce.
As for the Dayu Villa, as long as the Grand Chamber still existed, he would not be able to escape. He could only face them head-on. After the battles at Spatial Abyss and Southtour Realm, he knew that he was not the Third Master's opponent. His Sequence Foundation had been stolen, and he could not take it back. However, he had to face this person as well. It was not a matter of life or death, but rather, he could not avoid him.
Even if he avoided him this time, he would still encounter him next time.
He could only hope that this person would not cause trouble for him out of respect for the Zhikong Realm.
"I won't say much about the rules. Everyone, start bidding."
Rong Xiang had already presided over many competitions between the Chambers of Commerce, so the process was very simple. Every Chamber of Commerce just had to write down a price for him to see, and it was easy to pick out the five with the highest bids.
Soon, the bidding ended.
Rong Xiang looked at the bids in front of him and was stunned.
One spirit seed, one spirit seed, and it was still one spirit seed. The bid was actually one spirit seed?
Was this a joke?
Eleven Chambers of Commerce, and ten bids for one spirit seed? This was playing with the Grand Chamber of Commerce, and it was no longer a matter of low bids. This was a provocation.
Among the bids, there was one that was particularly eye-catching.
The Hundred Leaves Chamber of Commerce had bid fifty billion spirit seeds.
Rong Xiang looked at the bid, and the fifty billion spirit seeds were especially eye-catching. He stared at Lu Yin and calmly showed the bid to Yi Shang.
Something was wrong. Someone was targeting the Grand Chamber of Commerce.
