72: ghost weapon

Gu Changan felt that since he was in the Blood Fiend Alliance's sphere of influence, he would surely encounter ghost Cultivators in the future.

When he encountered others releasing ghosts, he couldn't just stand there stupidly and attack with Talismans!

It had to be: you release ghosts, and I release ghosts too!

At that time, we'll see who is more powerful.

With Gu Changan's own treasure gathering basin, he could definitely upgrade top-grade ghost artifacts!

When the time came, he would collect some Souls inside. If one ghost artifact wasn't enough, he would just duplicate ten of them.

He'd plant them around himself like a fence—let's see who would dare approach then!

Just thinking about that scene made him feel gleeful!

He just didn't know if he could absorb that many Souls.

These Souls would certainly be another major expense, but the most important thing right now was the foundation establishment pill.

He could collect these things along the way when trading.

For instance, these ghost artifacts could eventually be upgraded into ten thousand souls banners, providing a large-scale destructive means of attack.

Hahaha, thinking of that scene was truly something to look forward to.

An excited expression appeared on Gu Changan's face, leaving the Cultivator in the shadows somewhat bewildered.

Is this guy a bit slow in the head?

Why is he standing there smirking while buying things?

The Cultivator in the shadows began to explain, "I have many Magical Artifacts here!"

"Which kind do you want?"

"For example, a Qi Refinement Stage Soul-Devouring Banner can collect ten living souls!"

"When released, the living souls can perform Soul attacks, such as Soul Tremors!"

"Beyond that, there are the hundred soul banners, thousand soul banners, and ten thousand souls banners!"

"I have a hundred soul banner here, though the price is a bit steep!"

"Of course, the materials are solid. The banner pole is made from century-old Yin-Sinking Wood, and the banner surface is drawn with the 'Nether River Map' using the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"If you want it, it's one thousand Spirit Stones, no bargaining!"

Gu Changan's eyes lit up; one thousand Spirit Stones wasn't expensive!

Looking at the room full of ghost artifacts, he asked, "Won't you introduce the other ghost artifacts to me?"

The Cultivator in the shadows said, "There is also one called the soul refining banner!"

"Just like the name suggests, it uses living souls as fuel to increase the power of the Magical Artifact for attack or defense."

"Or, you can refine the Souls into pure Soul Power for your own absorption!"

Gu Changan marveled again; wasn't this the same effect as a spirit nurturing pill?

With this, couldn't he further strengthen his Divine Soul?

Gu Changan asked, "How many Spirit Stones for this?"

Seeing Gu Changan's Qi Refining Peak cultivation, the Cultivator in the shadows felt he didn't look like a real buyer and grew somewhat annoyed.

"Are you going to buy it or not?"

Gu Changan smiled slightly and lined up ten blood crystals on the counter.

"Now you tell me, am I buying?"

Seeing the ten blood crystals on the table, which were worth about a thousand Spirit Stones, the Cultivator in the shadows' expression softened considerably.

"The soul refining banner is equally important; many Cultivators use it to Cultivate their Divine Soul!"

"So, the fixed price is also 1,000 Spirit Stones!"

The Cultivator in the shadows was a bit greedy; it was originally worth 800 Spirit Stones, but he quoted 1,000 directly!

All for the sake of those blood crystals on the table!

"The soul refining banner is also costly to manufacture!"

"So it is worth this much!"

There were two things the Cultivator in the shadows didn't say!

First, ordinary people simply don't have the Spirit Stones to buy a soul refining banner just to Cultivate their Divine Soul.

Second, the Divine Soul Cultivated through a soul refining banner will be mixed with various resentments from the original owners of the souls.

This easily causes Divine Soul turbulence, affecting the Cultivator's Divine Soul and posing a huge threat to future Cultivation.

Moreover, as one's cultivation level increases, it can also generate Heart Demons.

The Cultivator in the shadows would absolutely never tell Gu Changan these things.

Gu Changan pointed to a nearby Magical Artifact: "What is this?"

The Cultivator in the shadows glanced at the ghost artifact Gu Changan was pointing to.

"A blood soul jar. It can collect not only essence blood but also Divine Souls!"

"The essence blood and living souls inside will nourish a Blood Soul."

"When the Magical Artifact recognizes its master, activating the blood soul jar will cause the Blood Soul inside to rush out and help you deal with enemies!"

"The power of the Blood Soul depends on how much essence blood and how many living souls you put into it!"

"In other words, the more resources you consume, the stronger the Blood Soul's power!"

"It can not only deal with souls but also contaminate the Physical Body and other Magical Artifacts!"

Gu Changan licked his lips after hearing this; he had to take this one too.

They're all mine!

Though he might not be able to nurture them all at once!

Gu Changan nodded: "This one is also good. How many Spirit Stones?"

The Cultivator in the shadows pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking about how much he could fleece him for.

"1,500 Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan shook his head: "Too expensive! Just nurturing it will cost a fortune!"

"It's not as cost-effective as the hundred soul banner!"

Gu Changan pointed to a cloth bag on the table and asked, "What is this?"

The Cultivator in the shadows saw that Gu Changan didn't dwell on the blood soul jar and instead pointed at the cloth bag on the table.

"A Five Yin Bag. It can collect various corpses, ensuring they do not rot and the Yin Qi does not dissipate."

"It can also be used to collect various types of Evil Qi!"

"Value: 100 Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan, however, turned to look at a chain on the counter.

"And what does this do?"

The Cultivator in the shadows grew a bit impatient: "Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you want?"

"Are you planning to ask about every single one of my Magical Artifacts?"

Gu Changan also felt he had asked a bit too much.

"I do indeed wish to buy some Magical Artifacts!"

"Your ghost artifacts here are all quite good!"

"It's just that the prices are a bit high!"

"If they were a bit cheaper, I might consider it!"

"Besides, haven't I just not decided which one to pick yet?"

"Why is Fellow Daoist so anxious?"

"Am I not allowed to ask about items worth thousands of Spirit Stones?"

The Cultivator in the shadows suppressed his impatience, his voice turning cold: "The one you're pointing at is a Ghost Chain!"

"Forged from century-old filth and Nether Iron, this chain can not only harm ghosts,"

"But also damage a person's Divine Soul!"

"When bound to a living person, it causes damage to their soul!"

"It has a binding effect!"

"The price is much higher: 2,000 Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan's eyes brightened slightly again, and then he pointed to a small pagoda at the top of the counter.

"What is this pagoda for?"

The cold voice of the Cultivator in the shadows rang out again: "A blood soul tower, similar to a blood soul jar."

"However, the materials used are much better than those of the blood soul jar!"

"A blood soul jar has only a single Blood Soul!"

"A blood soul tower is different; the tower itself has the function of absorbing blood."

"It can use blood to lay down a Great Formation; anyone within the Formation will be corroded by the blood!"

"At the same time, the four faces of the blood soul tower are inscribed with a large number of sealing Formations, just like those on the hundred soul banner!"

"Many Blood Souls are sealed inside, which can attack any target within the Formation."

"As long as they aren't killed on the spot, they can return to the blood soul tower to recover from their injuries!"

Gu Changan was incredibly excited in his heart. Mine! They're all mine!

What should he do? He wanted them all so badly!

Should he buy them all at once?

Or should he use a different identity each time he came to buy?

Buying them all at once would only expose him once!

Buying them in several installments would increase the chance of exposure!
