Chapter 378 Trading
"Demon Core..."
Zhang Lingyu's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Those two demon cores are indeed in my possession. What is the meaning of this, Sect Leader?"
"Junior Brother Zhang, I would like to purchase the demon cores you possess on behalf of the sect."
"To be honest, Sect Leader, this demon core is of great use to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yuhuan shook his head and interrupted, saying seriously:
"I know what you're thinking, Junior Brother. Your disciple and a junior member of the clan are quite outstanding. I suppose you want to refine these two demon cores into Golden Core pills for them to use in their Golden Core formation."
"Even if you and your family elder who serves as a guest elder in the Chen family are alchemists, your cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Are you confident that you can refine it? ... Let alone the early stage of the Golden Core realm, even a late-stage cultivator would face great risks in refining it."
Zhang Lingyu remained silent.
Although he obtained the pill formula from the Spirit Puppet Myriad Transformations Box, it was impossible for him to refine the Golden Core Pill on his own in his current state.
Besides the differences in cultivation level and skills, there are also various auxiliary spiritual materials for forming the Golden Core, which are almost impossible to buy.
Of course, he never thought of refining it himself; the only way at the moment was to find a highly skilled alchemist to refine it.
These types of people usually hold positions in the six departments, and their numbers are still very small.
Therefore, he originally planned to start with Yuguang Pavilion.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that both demon cores can be refined into Golden Cores. The risk of failure is very high, and you might end up losing everything.
Why not take this opportunity to sell it?
He also had a clear goal in mind regarding what he wanted to exchange for the demon core.
"Junior brother, the sect has suffered heavy losses this time. Seven Golden Core cultivators have fallen. Our primary task is to recuperate. There are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect who can break through, but we only have four Golden Core cultivators that we can store. As you know, Golden Core cultivators have a higher chance of breaking through than Golden Core spirit objects," Bai Yuhuan sighed.
The total number of demon kings who have fallen this time is only this many. If they obtain the demon cores from Zhang Lingyu, they will have two more Golden Cores, which will greatly increase the probability of two prodigies breaking through.
If we can obtain other demon cores from other people, the number of fallen golden cores will be replenished quickly.
Bai Yuhuan stared at the man before her and stated her conditions: "If Junior Brother Zhang is willing to make a deal with me, the sect is willing to provide a mid-grade Golden Core magic weapon. As for what kind of magic weapon it is, you can choose it yourself."
"Of course, if you don't need a magic weapon, you can exchange it for merit points. Just go and exchange it for whatever you need."
The demon core is not a Golden Core, and even if you add up the remaining auxiliary spiritual materials, its value is enough for a low-grade Golden Core magic weapon.
"Actually, even if the sect leader hadn't said anything, I, your junior brother, had already planned to exchange these two demon cores for other things with the sect," Zhang Lingyu replied.
"Oh?"
Bai Yuhuan was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Junior Brother, have you decided what you want to exchange for?"
"Two demon cores for one Golden Core."
"Two demon cores for one Golden Core? Junior Brother Zhang, you're not kidding me, are you?"
He was somewhat surprised and chuckled, "Junior brother, you should know the difference between the two. Not to mention that the cost of having someone refine it is enough for a demon core, you haven't even gathered all the other auxiliary materials for forming a Golden Core."
"Junior brother knows the difference, and senior brother, the sect leader, also said that these two demon cores are prepared for the younger generation, so apart from the Golden Core stage, the rest will not be replaced." Zhang Lingyu's attitude was firm.
In terms of cultivation level, aptitude, and temperament, Zhang Yuanyao's breakthrough speed is much faster than Wang Menghan's.
Therefore, this Golden Core is essential.
As for Wang Menghan, there was always a considerable amount of time before he formed his Golden Core, allowing him to obtain the remaining Golden Core.
As for magical treasures and spiritual objects, he wasn't particularly interested.
Judging from the magical treasures I have right now, I have enough, and I don't lack spiritual items for the time being.
All of these things can be obtained in the cultivators' cave dwellings. As the intelligence level increases, the cave dwellings left behind by Golden Core cultivators in various places will also appear on the intelligence panel one by one.
"this..."
Seeing Zhang Lingyu's resolute attitude, Bai Yuhuan felt a headache coming on. At present, any demon core would be good for the sect, and he did not want to give up.
After much deliberation, he conceded and said, "How about this, Junior Brother Zhang? If you provide the sect with the other spiritual materials needed to refine the Golden Core, I will agree to this. Alternatively, you can provide other spiritual items of equal value."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Sect Leader. I will prepare these and send them over as soon as I get back," Zhang Lingyu said in thanks.
After discussion, Bai Yuhuan also told him that it might take several more years for Zhang Yuanyao to form his Golden Core, since he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage at the moment, and there was still a long way to go.
There are quite a few disciples in the sect waiting for the last remaining Golden Core cultivator to break through.
Zhang Lingyu wouldn't ask for a Golden Core at this critical juncture. Since the deal was done, the two of them called over Jiang Xiao, who was about to take over, and together they signed the Netherworld Blood Pact.
After all, Jade Light Pavilion will change its leader in a few years. If Jiang Xiao doesn't honor his promise then, he himself will be the one who suffers.
After handing over the demon core, he went directly to the Good Deeds Pavilion.
He made many contributions in this great battle, earning a total of 1.17 million merits. He earned 500,000 merits for conquering Blood Dragon Village, Flower Fragrance Valley, and reclaiming Spirit Moon Mountain.
Even if you manage to get this much through sheer hard work, you're still more than a million battle merits away from the cheapest fifth-grade Nascent Soul cultivation technique.
Without hesitation, he focused his attention on defensive magical artifacts.
"The Eight Treasures Heart-Protecting Mirror, a low-grade Golden Core magic treasure, is worth 240,000 merit points; the Purple Ribbon and Black Robe, also a low-grade Golden Core item, is worth 270,000 merit points..."
The prices of low-grade Golden Core magic treasures in the Good Deeds Pavilion range from 200,000 to 300,000, while mid-grade ones are 500,000 to 600,000, and high-grade ones are even more expensive.
With the current merits, you can only exchange for one item.
"That's really expensive!"
Zhang Lingyu was initially quite pleased with his many merits, but now it seems that if he were to exchange them for a mid-grade Golden Core magic weapon, the remaining merits would simply not be enough for him to exchange for lightning-attribute spiritual items and pills to improve his cultivation.
Fortunately, we killed two Golden Core demon cultivators and a demon king this time, and we can use their items to patch up some of the loopholes.
After careful selection, he spent 540,000 merit points to purchase a mid-grade Golden Core Crimson Scale Armor.
After all, considering that he would be heading to the Qin Kingdom after refining his natal magic weapon, and that he might encounter some danger along the way, he could not be careless in choosing a defensive magic weapon.
As for the remaining merits, most of them were exchanged for lightning-attribute spiritual items.
"Thunder Tribulation Mystic Sand, Thunderous Cloud Python's horns... almost done."
Zhang Lingyu needs to refine thirty-six complete sets of flying swords, which requires a great deal of spiritual materials, and the quantity must be sufficient. Fortunately, he has almost gathered them all.
In addition to these two types and the Thunder Soul Crystal he exchanged last time, he also purchased the Binding Gold Ring and the Heavenly Thunder Essence and the Yi Wood Thunder Bamboo in Tianliu City.
The Yi Wood Thunder Bamboo was the most numerous, after all, the thirty-six flying swords were to be based on it, and this item had almost emptied his coffers.
All that remains now is to strengthen the resilience of the flying sword.
Xuan Gang Lei Mu is a good choice.
However, this item is in the hands of Master Lingyan of the Xuanguang Sect.
"But there's no need to rush. Let's see if Lin Lanxin sends any good news. Then we can compare prices from different vendors before deciding which one to buy," Zhang Lingyu thought to herself.
After selecting his items, he first visited Zhang Lingxiao and other family cultivators within the sect, and it took him a full half-day before he set off to return to his family.
