Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2325 - 2328: Deep Pockets, Red Demon Battle Body
Today’s Chi Ling’er was particularly different; a dark power seemed to emerge from her originally enchanting body.
Chi Ling’er had changed; the man she had expectations for was defeated by Ling Xiao, making her suddenly feel that all the men in the world were unreliable.
So she decided to rely on herself to defeat Ling Xiao.
"This Magma Elemental Jade is already rare; it’s hard for ordinary people to refine it into a Lava Battle Body. Therefore, it’s not in high demand. If you calculate each piece at fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, I can take them."
"Why are you being so long-winded? I want this thing, twenty million low-grade spirit stones!"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded, clearly aiming to oppose Chi Ling’er.
"Who?"
Terrifying dark energy erupted from Chi Ling’er, and she seemed to be surrounded by countless ghostly charms, appearing like a Yaksha walking out of a temple.
Obviously, this girl’s cultivation level hadn’t improved, but she had cultivated some special martial arts, making her neither look human nor ghost.
"What, as a dignified disciple of the Eight Immortals Mountain, do you need to act unruly in the Tianlong Trade Company?"
Ling Xiao’s voice sounded again.
Although he sensed the ominous power erupting from Chi Ling’er’s body,
he was not afraid.
"Ling Xiao?"
This time, Chi Ling’er recognized the owner of the voice and sneered, "You must be Ling Xiao, but with your status, can you really produce twenty million low-grade spirit stones?"
"Whether I can produce that many low-grade spirit stones is none of your business. If you don’t want to bid, then shut up."
Ling Xiao said blandly.
"Fine, very well. I want to see how you explain to the Tianlong Trade Company when you can’t come up with those spirit stones."
Chi Ling’er was convinced Ling Xiao couldn’t produce that much money, after all, Ling Xiao was just an ordinary disciple of the Lower Baxian Mountain.
"How I explain is none of your concern."
Ling Xiao said disdainfully.
He had already wiped out the branch of the Demon Shadow Sect in Eight Immortals County and obtained over a billion low-grade spirit stones from there.
Mere twenty million was no big deal.
Moreover, he was a VIP member of the Tianlong Trade Company, enjoying a twenty percent discount on all purchases, amounting to only 16 million.
After Chi Ling’er fell silent, no one else bid for these hundred pieces of Magma Elemental Jade.
Thus, Ling Xiao bought them for the price of twenty million.
According to the rules of the Tianlong Trade Company, the items won at auction are withdrawn first, and transactions are made after the auction ends.
Hence, no one really knew whether Ling Xiao had that much money.
Even Lin Fengyuan specially came to Ling Xiao’s private room to discreetly inquire.
Obviously, he was worried.
Meanwhile, the auction continued outside with items Ling Xiao wasn’t interested in, so he didn’t bid.
Instead, he casually tossed a Storage Ring to Lin Fengyuan, saying, "See for yourself."
Lin Fengyuan took the Storage Ring and infused his soul power into it, and was greatly astonished.
"So many spirit stones!"
He was truly shocked; the number of spirit stones in Ling Xiao’s Storage Ring exceeded the total assets of the Tianlong Trade Company in Eight Immortals County.
"Not worried now?"
Ling Xiao said blandly.
"Not worried, not worried at all. To express our apologies to Young Master Ling, I am willing to present to you the only ’top-level member’ card in Eight Immortals County City.
With this status, everything you purchase will not be at an 80% discount, but at a 50% discount."
Lin Fengyuan did this obviously out of concern about offending Ling Xiao, but his decision to give Ling Xiao the only top-level membership card was truly bold.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Shopkeeper Lin."
Ling Xiao smiled. He had been a bit unhappy before, as no one likes being doubted casually.
But now, given Lin Fengyuan’s gesture, he decided not to make things difficult for him.
"Well, you two continue to enjoy the auction. I shall take my leave now."
Lin Fengyuan instructed someone to serve Ling Xiao and Lin Ruoxian the best pastries and drinks available.
Only then did he retreat.
"The spirit stones from the Demon Shadow Sect have indeed paved your path to glory, but using them like this, if the sect finds out, it might cause trouble again."
Lin Ruoxian had guessed the source of Ling Xiao’s spirit stones.
"I destroyed the Demon Shadow Sect’s branch, and it wasn’t a task of the sect, so the spirit stones are mine. Is there a problem?
Does the sect shamelessly want to fight me for them?"
Ling Xiao looked outside and suddenly changed the subject, "Let’s not talk about this. Isn’t Chi Ling’er a bit strange?"
"You noticed too?"
Lin Ruoxian asked.
"Yes, I can tell she’s stronger than before, perhaps even stronger than Sha Mo Yun, but why? Her cultivation level seems unchanged?"
Ling Xiao frowned.
"That’s because she finally succeeded in cultivating the ’Red Demon Battle Body’ from Red Immortal Mountain."
Lin Ruoxian replied.
"It’s an advanced battle body, equivalent to cultivating top-grade advanced body refining martial arts once it’s mastered. Very terrifying.
Her cultivation level isn’t as high as Sha Mo Yun’s; it’s only at the late stage of the First-Turn Second-Layer Hell, but after cultivating the Red Demon Battle Body, her strength surpasses Sha Mo Yun."
"The Red Demon Battle Body should have been in Red Immortal Mountain for a while, so why didn’t she cultivate it before, and just succeeded now?"
Ling Xiao felt this was no coincidence.
"Good question. In fact, cultivating the Red Demon Battle Body requires selling your soul to the Crimson Blaze Heavenly Demon."
Lin Ruoxian sighed, "Chi Ling’er wasn’t willing to do that before, as she was already strong enough and had people to protect her.
But ever since you killed Sha Hai, Chi Ling’er’s personality changed dramatically, leading her down this path.
It’s safe to say, your actions directly led her to sell her soul to the Crimson Blaze Heavenly Demon of Red Immortal Mountain."
"Is it my fault?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, "No, it’s merely her heart demon causing trouble."
"Regardless of who’s at fault, Chi Ling’er will be your biggest opponent this time. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Of the three spots for promotion to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain, Chi Ling’er and Sha Mo Yun have probably taken two, leaving you to compete for the third one."
Lin Ruoxian sighed.
"Not necessarily."
Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
If Chi Ling’er could possess an advanced battle body, Ling Xiao could not as well?
By acquiring a hundred pieces of Magma Elemental Jade this time, as long as his cultivation level could break through, there’s a strong possibility of refining a powerful advanced Magma Combat Body.
By then, why would he fear Chi Ling’er?
A martial artist who relies on selling their soul to grow stronger has already fallen behind on the path of martial arts.
I wonder if there’s any Thunder Element in the auction. If there is, refining a double advanced battle body would give him even more assurance.
Ling Xiao looked outside, waiting for what he desired.
"Next up, we have another batch of Elemental Jade, but this time it’s Lei Yuanyu. Like before, there are a hundred pieces, with a starting bid of 30 million low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1 million low-grade spirit stones.
Let’s begin."
Finally, Ling Xiao encountered what he had been waiting for, but each piece of Lei Yuanyu seemed to have broader applications, making them a bit more expensive than Magma Elemental Jade.
