Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 61: Earth Rank - Ghostly Shadow Escape
[Tomb Spirit Shadow Soul Crystal: Tier 3 Soul Crystal, containing the 'Ghostly Shadow Escape' talent seed, High-grade Profound Rank.]

Price: 8,800 Heavenly Dao Coins.

This is the price range for Xuan-level items.

If it can be upgraded to the next tier, it will immediately become a hot commodity.

"This soul crystal is too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

"Eight thousand."

A thought from the Ghost Clan was transmitted.

Proactively lowering prices... there's a chance.

This ghost clan member, who could obtain even a third-tier soul crystal so easily, was clearly no nobody.

Li Chunfeng had no interest in knowing who he was, and immediately began to patiently bargain, "Five thousand."

"Eight thousand."

"I want more, five thousand."

"...How much do you want?"

Tomb spirits are ghosts born from great tombs, a type of guardian spirit, and generally only appear in the tombs of powerful individuals. Since they are guardian spirits, there will certainly be more than one.

Do you have any stock left?

"Wow~"

A large pile of soul crystals was thrown out, and a quick scan revealed that they were all soul crystals of the Tomb Spirit Shadow.

However, the quality varies, with the lowest being only the lower grade of Xuan rank, while the highest grade does not exceed the upper grade of Xuan rank.

Is this an archaeological excavation?

Or was it just luck that I stumbled into the tomb of a big shot in the world of ghost tombs?
Li Chunfeng still has more than 36 Heavenly Dao Coins, but he might not be able to acquire them all.

However, he needs to test it out first.

After discussing with the Ghost Clan, they decided to acquire three low-grade Xuan-rank magic seeds for three thousand each.

The demons and monsters remained silent, staring intently at Li Chunfeng.

It possesses a unique racial talent that allows it to determine whether a person is lying.

Although they encountered great resistance in detecting Li Chunfeng, their general assessment was accurate.

Li Chunfeng was full of confidence.

The fact that this human race was truly determined to seize all of its magical seed immediately made it take the matter seriously. After all, even at the average market price, so many magical seed types would amount to a business worth hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Dao coins.

The human race, possessing so many Heavenly Coins, deserves its respect.

Although it had never met Li Chunfeng, it couldn't help but marvel at how many hidden talents the human race truly possessed. Even a random passerby could have such wealth.

"can."

Li Chunfeng nodded, took three of them with him, and returned to his private stone house.

The inner landscape manifested, a soul crystal was placed into the vortex, and the lamp fell onto the central island altar.

"Mind's eye!"

Li Chunfeng deliberately used his inner eye to detect things with all his might.

[Soul fusion success rate: 60%. Using a Tier 3 Ghostly Soul Crystal can increase the success rate!]

Li Chunfeng frowned.

He really couldn't skimp on it; he didn't have any third-tier soul crystals.

The Tomb Spirit Shadow Soul Crystal is indeed tier three, but it's such a waste.

Li Chunfeng threw two second-tier soul crystals into the other two vortexes.

[Soul Fusion Success Rate: 78%!]

feasible.

However, there is still a great possibility of failure, which is something that has never been encountered before.

After all, this is the first time he has fused soul crystals from different species, so he should take it seriously.

Li Chunfeng went out to find the ghost clan merchant with whom he had previously traded soul crystals. The merchant had been in Yuan City for a long time, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find him.

They spent some Heavenly Dao Coins to purchase several Tier 3 Ghost Soul Crystals.

Get involved.

[Soul Fusion Success Rate: 94%!]

This success rate is acceptable; Soul Fusion.

After a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, all was quiet.

Summoning the lantern, the lantern ghost seemed to have taken a powerful tonic, its body blazing with overflowing soul fire, excitedly sticking to the lantern.

“Eek~” Li Chunfeng held it in his palm and checked its attributes.

[Spell: Ghostly Shadow Escape, Mystic Rank 1!]

Characteristic: Through the ability to disappear into the shadows, one can quickly vanish into the shadows to evade enemy pursuit or chase enemies.

Excellent, it's a success.

A talent seed, once refined, can never become a talent.

With a thought, Li Chunfeng immediately used the newly learned escape technique on the lantern, causing it to become erratic and even dimming the light of its heart lamp. It drifted around the stone house like a hazy mist.

"..."

It was somewhat different from the expected concealment, after all, 'Heart Lamp' is a passive talent, which is naturally countered by shadows.

Is it an assumption that the opponent is blind to have the lamps lit for concealment?
This was something Li Chunfeng had not anticipated.

However... transformation.

The image of the black-robed, bone-faced figure reappeared, and the stone house grew dark.

Li Chunfeng used the 'Ghostly Shadow Escape' technique and immediately felt a sense of ease, like a fish in water.

The person moved erratically, like a ghost, drifting from the east side of the house to the west, then from the west to the south. From the ground to the roof, then from the roof to the wall, they traversed a large S-shape.

It took a long time before the demon form was removed.

With Ghostly Shadow Cloak, his speed was no longer a weakness for a period of time.

A moment later, they returned to their stall.

"How is it?" The demons and monsters looked at Li Chunfeng expectantly.

Li Chunfeng: "..."

"It's done. You can't fool me. Congratulations. So, what about these soul crystals?"

Li Chunfeng sighed inwardly. He had made a mistake in the steps, and this time he was likely to suffer a huge loss. "How many do you have?"

The demons and monsters felt a sudden surge of energy within their skulls; they were about to strike it rich.

After some calculation, there were 68 low-grade Xuan-rank artifacts, 24 mid-grade Xuan-rank artifacts, and 9 high-grade Xuan-rank artifacts.

The price for a low-grade Xuan-rank item is 3000, for a mid-grade item it is 5000, and for a high-grade item it is 6800.

Total price: 385,200 pieces.

Li Chunfeng didn't have enough money.

The current exchange rate between Heavenly Dao Coins and Dao Merit is 1:86.

He could only find a human middleman to exchange 5 Heavenly Dao Coins, spending 430 million Dao merits.

The pockets became even drier.

Suddenly I felt insecure, like I was going out without clothes on.

After becoming rich overnight, no one wants to go back to a life of poverty. At this moment, Mr. Li felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Let's add each other as friends. I'll come back to you for business in the future."

This message was still transmitted through thought, but how did Li Chunfeng detect the smugness in it?

He did need more magic seeds, so he reluctantly added a second friend to the Boundary Key: "If it's still the Ghostly Shadow Escape magic seed, you can contact me."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare the Heavenly Coins and definitely come to you."

Li Chunfeng glanced at the name: Chimei Wangliang.

This guy is definitely not an unknown figure; no wonder he was able to acquire so many Tier 3 Soul Crystals.

However, this Tomb Spirit Shadow Phantom is probably not strong. After all, among all the Soul Crystals, only the Innate Escape Technique was preserved, and no other spells or magic seeds were seen. It is very likely that it is just a pretty face that is purely meant to scare people.

This guy has run into a weak, third-tier ghost.

Li Chunfeng returned to the stone house and went through another frenzied soul fusion.

This time, instead of using third-tier soul crystals as a mat, three Tomb Spirit Shadow Soul Crystals were used directly for soul fusion, and the success rate soared to 99%.

Including the two previously obtained low-grade Xuan-rank magic seeds, he now possesses a total of 70 low-grade Xuan-rank magic seeds.

First, use 3 low-grade coins to upgrade Burning Lamp's escape technique to the fourth level of the Profound rank.

Then came a soul-merging process filled with lightning and thunder.

Burning Lamp's 'Ghostly Shadow Escape' instantly became the highest-level spell.

[Spell: Ghostly Shadow Escape (Earth Rank 5)]

The Ghostly Shadow Escape technique, at the Earth Rank, instantly increases speed more than tenfold, but also multiplies the consumption of soul power. When the technique is used, a wisp of black smoke envelops the lantern, shielding its light and greatly increasing its concealment in the shadows.

It seems that the conflict between the escape technique and the Heart Lamp is not due to any problem, but simply because the level is not high enough.
