Above all spirits

Chapter 36 Top-Grade Soul Crystal

Gu Yun naturally had no idea what the Black River represented.

All he knew was that the Star Moon Demon Clan was very powerful.

That's it.

Even so, the replacement ratio was still a slight concern.

Seeing the store manager's panicked expression, the twenty he mentioned should already be the maximum.

The ten mentioned earlier were probably the usual selling price, but I blurted it out of habit.

Gu Yun had no doubt about its authenticity.

He was a little surprised.

Artificial soul crystal shells are so expensive?

One low-grade soul crystal can only be exchanged for twenty soul-containing shells?!

Even if Gu Yun knew that this was not a simple relationship between mineral water and a mineral water bottle.

However, Gu Yun once absorbed the soul essence from a low-grade soul crystal.

The amount contained within is still considerable for a primordial demon.

It can almost sustain normal living needs for half a month.

Such a quantity can only be exchanged for twenty shells, and even that is at the internal price ceiling.

It seems this shell is quite unusual.

Also.

Creating a shell that can hold soul essence probably does require a certain level of skill.

It's highly likely that it was made by analyzing and then replicating a natural soul crystal.

The store manager looked at Gu Yun's seemingly dissatisfied face and said tremblingly.

"Sir, this is truly the lowest price I can offer. I dare not lie to you; any lower and my little shop might be raided."

Gu Yun waved to indicate that it was alright.

“I know, I doubt you would dare to deceive the Star Moon Demon Clan.”

"Yes Yes Yes."

The store manager nodded in approval.

"What is the upper limit of soul matter that can be injected into this artificial soul crystal shell?"

Gu Yun asked.

The store manager was taken aback.

"Sir...you don't know?"

Well, it seems to be basic common sense.

He rolled his eyes at Werner, who had once been clueless about everything.

He then said seriously.

They did not reveal a single flaw.

"I ask, you answer, but don't reply with anything else."

The store manager looked up once more to confirm the faint golden pentagrams swirling in Gu Yun's eyes, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

It is indeed the Star Moon Demon Clan, even if they imitate it through certain powers.

But for him, who had long dealt with the Star Moon Demon Clan...

That mysterious aura is unmistakable.

This is something that cannot be imitated.

This involves the racial talents and some powers of the Star-Moon Demon Clan.

I guess it's just that he has an eccentric personality.

It also seemed that Gu Yun did not show any signs of anger.

The store manager was no longer overly nervous and stuttered.

"My lord, by using primitive methods to directly inject the soul essence within the body into the soul crystal, if the soul crystal turns pure white, it is a low-grade soul crystal; if it turns light blue, it is a mid-grade soul crystal. This is the limit that human power can achieve."

"High-grade soul crystals are pure blue, and artificial infusion requires special condensation methods."

"Or recast the outer shell of the natural high-grade soul crystal and divide it into pieces that are the same size as the circulating soul crystals."

Gu Yun nodded, understanding the basic soul crystal replacement that Werner had previously explained to him.

Although on the surface it is said that ten low-grade soul crystals are equivalent to one mid-grade soul crystal, and ten mid-grade soul crystals are equivalent to one high-grade soul crystal, everyone knows that the value of one high-grade soul crystal is more than ten mid-grade soul crystals. The actual exchange is probably in the range of twelve to fifteen mid-grade soul crystals.

The difference lies here, which leads to the different number of replacements.

"And the top-grade soul crystals above that are extremely precious. They can only be formed naturally and cannot be replicated by humans. They are basically only circulated among high-level demon families and even royal families. I don't know how many high-grade soul crystals are equivalent to a top-grade soul crystal of the same size."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment and murmured.

"Top-grade Soul Crystal..."

While there are superior, middle, and inferior grades, there are naturally top-grade soul crystals.

Gu Yun was not surprised by this.

The main reason is that I had never heard of it from anyone else before.

Including his heavenly master.

It could also be because his divine master was a shut-in like Werner?

Although there was a reason for Yan Wuge's incident.

But he can definitely be considered a homebody.

A hundred years ago, he was merely a god-general.

In addition, Yan Wuge doesn't seem to have any need for money.

They don't even need high-grade soul crystals, let alone top-grade ones.

It seems reasonable that they didn't know.

Seeing that Gu Yun seemed puzzled, the store manager quickly explained.

"Don't be surprised if you haven't heard of it, because the circulation of top-grade soul crystals is extremely limited. Even among the great demon families and royal families, it is estimated that only those at the lord level or above would know about them, but even then, they might not possess them."

"Oh why?"

Gu Yun raised a question.

What's different about top-grade Soul Crystals?

The store manager didn't dare to be negligent and continued.

"Because it is rumored that the mutated soul essence inside the top-grade soul crystal, which cannot be analyzed or replicated, is indeed more effective than ordinary soul essence."

"However, it seems that neither demons nor gods can be stored in the body, but can only be kept in the soul crystal shell. After being absorbed, if it is not used for a short period of time, it will leave the body, dilute in the air until it disappears."

"The real battles happen in an instant; no one will wait for you to absorb all the top-grade soul crystals before fighting you."

"Therefore, most top-grade soul crystals are handed over to the power masters within the family, so that they can use them for more efficient research on power."

Gu Yun: It's gone bad...

"I have worked in a large chamber of commerce like Heihe for decades and only had the privilege of seeing it once. It was a kind of simplicity that was different from white and blue. It was as if it had reached a certain peak and undergone a qualitative change. It was an incomparably bright and dazzling pale gold, just like the pentagram in your eyes, mysterious and noble."

The store manager quickly seized the opportunity to flatter him, without it seeming deliberate.

It can be described as a consummate skill.

Gu Yun: ? !! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!

Werner: ?! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

Store Manager: ? ?

The store manager gently called out to Gu Yun, who was standing there blankly with lifeless eyes, as if struck by lightning.

Did I go too far in flattering him?

Or was the news of the top-grade soul crystal just too shocking?

It shouldn't be.

It's just a soul quality with slightly better effects.

It cannot be stored yet.

"grown ups?"

This time, Gu Yun spoke in a trembling voice.

However, there was no panic whatsoever.

There was only an almost overwhelming sense of surprise.

"You... said... what color?"

"Um, it's a light gold color. I don't think I'm mistaken."

The store manager scratched his head and thought for a moment.

"Have you ever seen a golden one?"

Gu Yun pressed for an answer.

The store manager pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, maybe. It's a kind of soul crystal with a higher concentration of mutated soul essence, perhaps it's golden, but given my status, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen it. Have you seen it, sir?"

Gu Yun realized he had lost his composure and shook his head.

"No, I was just asking casually."

"Even if I am a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan, I am just a lowly newly-entered Demon General. I have never even heard of top-grade Soul Crystals before."

The store manager nodded, a sense of pride welling up within him, as if he had satisfied some kind of vanity.

"Too."
