Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 333 A Momentary True God
After buying the intelligence, Lin Qing only had eleven survival coins left.

"Will I see you again tomorrow night?" Lin Qing asked casually.

The figure in the black cloak smiled and said, "That depends on your luck and wealth; only a very few people are qualified."

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that whether or not you can encounter this traveling merchant in the dark depends not only on luck, but also on whether you have enough coins.
Relieved, he said, "Give me two portions of food and three doses of healing potion."

The figure in the black cloak looked at him with some surprise and said, "Not even a Blood Refining Demon Box?"

"We don't need it for now," Lin Qing said.

Without asking any further questions, the figure in the black cloak handed Lin Qing two small wooden buckets filled with food and three emerald green healing potions.

"I hope you'll bring me another surprise when I see you tomorrow night." The figure in the black cloak chuckled softly, took a step back, and then vanished without a trace.

Lin Qing immediately took the supplies she had just exchanged and turned back into the cabin.

It's not that he didn't want to exchange for the Blood Refining Demon Box.

Instead, you can only redeem one item, which you don't need for the time being.

His target is the bloodline of the chaotic creature 'Eternal Frozen Flame'. He only needs to wait for a high-level demon with the Eternal Frozen Flame bloodline to appear.

Until then, it's best to continue accumulating survival coins.

As for the supplies we received today, the food is for our own consumption, while the medicine is for resale.

"Only three trades are allowed per night..."

Lin Qing glanced at the rules of the trading channel, not in a hurry to list the potion, but instead browsed through the messages and trading records.

After a moment, he revealed a slight smile.

"Sure enough, many people were injured."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought, "Wait a little longer. In a few more hours, even more people will have killed monsters, and even more will be seriously injured. At that time, the survivors will have even more survival coins..."

It's important to know that only a very small number of people encounter traveling merchants at night.

It requires not only wealth, but also luck.

Therefore, there must be survivors who have multiple survival coins but haven't encountered the Night Merchant.

Among these survivors, the probability of being seriously injured is very high!
He could also take the opportunity to sell the three healing potions and the axe for a high price.

How much should we order?

Lin Qing thought for a moment, then listed the two healing potions on the trading channel, selected public trading, set the starting price for both to be 8 Survival Coins, and set the trading time to 10 hours, with the highest bidder winning.

Regardless of whether anyone can afford it, set the price first.

Sure enough, after the two deals for the treatment potions were posted, a flurry of comments immediately appeared below.

"Healing potions? There are such things?"

"It looks like it was bought from a traveling merchant in the dark. I can't believe they have such a good thing."

"Brother, can you lower the price? I, Tian Junhuan, am a direct descendant of the Tian Jun family in Wanheng Prefecture. Give me some face, and after I get out of here, you'll be my sworn brother!"

"Heh, that's pretty shady. A bottle of healing potion only costs three survival coins at the Night Market."

"That's outrageous. Only a lunatic would buy that."

"Bro, I've collected eight survival coins. Sell them to me, okay? You've already made enough."

"My lord, I am badly injured and about to die. If you would sell me, I would be willing to be your servant after I get out of here. Please!"

Lin Qing glanced at them casually, too lazy to pay attention to their comments.

Even without him, these people would still die anyway, so who could he possibly save?

Even if it's sold at a higher price, at least it gives us a glimmer of hope.

Moreover, some of these people have already collected eight survival coins, whether they were collected from others or obtained by killing monsters, which at least shows that these survivors are quite capable.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing put the axe up for trading again, setting a starting price of 10 survival coins.

Compared to healing potions, this weapon, which is effective enough against inferior monsters, is obviously more useful, and setting the starting price at 10 survival coins is reasonable.

of course.

The comments under this post became even more frenzied, ranging from pleading like Qin Shi Huang to cursing.

Lin Qing naturally regarded it all as a fleeting moment.

This only confirmed one thing—the probability of these monsters leaving behind magical artifacts is very small.

He was already very lucky, managing to forge the Chaos Artifact Set on his first try, but after killing eleven demons, he only got one weapon as a drop.

Therefore, he believed that the weapon would definitely sell.

They were waiting for the survivors to make offers while also hoping that the evolved Abyss would attract more monsters onto the ship.

In the blink of an eye, the night came to a complete end, the near-lightless darkness ended, and the relatively dim daytime arrived.

More than 20,000 people have died in this sea of ​​death.

Moreover, many of the survivors were hiding in their personal shelters, afraid to leave the ship's cabin, lest they be killed by the monsters lying in wait outside.

But if things continue like this, they will only starve to death.

"ended."

Lin Qing glanced at the trading channel; all three trades he had posted had already ended.

The axe sold for 21 survival coins, while both healing potions sold for 16 survival coins each.

In total, there are fifty-three survival coins.

It's unclear whether these buyers are truly financially capable, have other ways to make money, or have connections outside the company, but they managed to gather so many survival coins in just one night.

Besides him, there were others selling healing potions to make a profit, and they all sold them for several times the price.

"That's good. If we encounter the traveling merchants again tomorrow night, we can buy more."

Lin Qing smiled slightly, "We can buy the Blood Refining Demon Box and the Blood Source Pointer, and ask about the information on the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame Bloodline. That should be enough."

He put the fifty-three survival coins he had just earned through the transaction into the bag he had been carrying. The bag also contained thirty-eight survival coins, which were the spoils he had obtained from killing monsters that night.

Three high-level monsters and fifteen low-level monsters.

One of the high-level demonic creatures also dropped a demonic great bow and a hundred arrows, which were clearly high-level demonic artifacts with the characteristics of extreme speed and piercing.

If you were to trade and sell this thing, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.

However, no one can afford to pay that price yet.

Moreover, this great bow is very heavy; even with Lin Qing's strength, it was difficult for him to draw it.

This thing is useless to Lin Qing anyway. Since it's a projection of the aura of his natal universe's supreme treasure, it's very easy and convenient to transform it into any weapon he wants, and its strength is also higher than this so-called high-level magical artifact.

"Ninety-one survival coins can be used to buy Blood Refining Boxes and Blood Source Pointers, as well as other resources to trade for more survival coins. In the future, you can even put a bounty on the corpses of monsters with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame Bloodline."

Lin Qing pondered to himself and finalized his next plan.

With the advantages of his natal universe's supreme treasure and the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, it wouldn't be a problem for him to temporarily refrain from absorbing the chaotic biological bloodlines of these demons, since killing high-level demons would be a piece of cake anyway.

Before the Abyss is upgraded again, the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame Bloodline cannot be found. It is also possible to absorb other bloodlines to improve strength first.

In any case, blood-cleansing agents can be used to clear the blood vessels in the body.

"This level of difficulty doesn't feel like a test at all..." Lin Qing shook his head slightly. With the obvious ease and advantage he was gaining, he felt more and more that there must be some hidden danger waiting for him ahead.

There's no better way than to improve our strength as much as possible.

……

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The corpses of ten high-level demons are enough."

On the dimly lit deck of the Abyss, Lin Qing watched the sea fog gradually brighten. "The Abyss can be upgraded again, but upgrading it again will probably attract even stronger monsters. With my current strength, I'm afraid I might not be able to deal with them easily..."

He hesitated for a moment, then went into the cabin and glanced at the goods that had been stockpiled over the past five days.

Fifteen Blood Refining Boxes, five Blood Source Pointers, three Blood Cleansing Potions, three Escape Scrolls, and other potions and food.

These days, perhaps because of his good luck and wealth, he has been able to encounter traveling merchants every night.

Taking advantage of this, they naturally made a lot of money.

Every night, he bought the limited-edition Blood Refining Boxes and Blood Source Pointers from the Night Merchant.

"Before upgrading the Abyss, let's find the monster with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame bloodline first. We can upgrade the Abyss when we are strong enough."

Lin Qing narrowed her eyes, looking in the direction the Abyss was sailing. "The information from the traveling merchants only confirms the approximate location of the demon containing the 'Eternal Frozen Flame' bloodline. It's still like finding a needle in a haystack, but..."

At that moment, a golden symbol slowly appeared deep within his eyes, "I also have a miraculous destiny!"

This extraordinary divination technique is a special secret art that alters the essence of the soul, allowing one to see only the path of better fortune. Therefore, it can be activated without much energy and can be retained even after reincarnation.

In fact, some of these survivors had cultivated this kind of secret technique that alters the essence of the soul beforehand, and they would not lose this advantage after reincarnation.

And secret techniques like the Miraculous Appearance Technique are naturally more suitable for this kind of survival world!

"In that direction."

Lin Qing immediately followed the guidance of the strange omen and steered the Abyss in that direction.

Perhaps the path of good fortune leads to a treasure chest adrift at sea, rather than a monster with the eternally frozen, fiery bloodline. However, once the direction is determined by the traveling merchants, the probability of finding it will be much greater.

“Every night, we would consult with traveling merchants to confirm the direction of the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame Bloodline.”

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "This way, the efficiency should be much higher. If I can't find a monster with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame bloodline today, I'll use other bloodlines to improve my strength and upgrade the Abyss first."

After the Abyss is upgraded, it will attract monsters from a wider area, but it will also attract monsters of higher levels.

Without sufficient strength, he dared not upgrade the Abyss.

……

Three more days have passed.

During these three days, Lin Qing made some surprising discoveries thanks to his extraordinary luck, but he did not find a high-level demon with the bloodline of eternally frozen ice flames.

Instead, they discovered a deep silver treasure chest drifting at sea.

Most treasure chests found at sea are black iron chests, with only a very few being dark silver chests. These chests may contain special items, such as treasures with special effects or secret techniques.

"Secret technique... Extreme Circulation Movement?"

On the deck, Lin Qing looked at the pyramid-shaped colored crystal in his hand, silently recalling the secret technique he had just obtained from it.

This pyramid-shaped, colorful crystal is a treasure sufficient to support the initial stages of esoteric arts.

The cultivation of secret techniques almost always requires various kinds of precious resources.

The same applies to the secret technique "Extreme Running Movement".

However, this secret technique is as special as the Miraculous Fate Phenomenon. It does not require much energy, but only consumes luck, physical strength, and willpower. One can successfully cultivate it if one has the willpower of the Transformation Realm. Therefore, it can be used even in the survival world.

To be precise, this is a bizarre movement technique that uses luck and influences on one's true will to dodge attacks by taking advantage of the effects of time and space.

Whether one can master it depends on factors such as comprehension, luck, and willpower.

"The upper limit of this secret technique is not high."

Lin Qing recalled the secret technique in his mind, "Once faced with a high-level chaotic being capable of projecting worlds, this secret technique becomes useless..."

However, it is very useful in the current situation.

Lin Qing hadn't expected to encounter this situation before her reincarnation, so she never thought about learning more of these kinds of secret techniques.

but……

That being said, if he really knew many of these secret techniques, His Majesty the King of Light's first test would probably not have been like this.

"Let's learn it first."

After carefully studying the secret technique, Lin Qing used the pyramid-shaped colored crystal to master it on the spot.

Then, through the advance payment from the anti-entropy cultivator, he easily cultivated it to perfection.

The soul, will, experience, cooperation, and other aspects have all been elevated to the most perfect level.

"In the current situation, it is quite effective."

Lin Qing nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, we didn't find any monsters with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame bloodline..."

"I was originally planning to save some Blood Refining Boxes and a Blood Cleansing Potion, but I'll absorb a bloodline first to increase my strength..."

Lin Qing didn't think too much about it and immediately decided to improve his strength first.

Anyway, he makes money easily and isn't afraid of wasting it.

Upgrading the Abyss sooner would allow him to find monsters with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame bloodline more quickly.

"Hmm... I'll choose the bloodline of the chaotic creature 'Momentary True God'. It just so happens that I'll also get three monster corpses with this bloodline."

Immediately, Lin Qing consumed a Blood Refining Demon Box, put the demon corpse with the bloodline of the fifth generation of 'Moment True God' into the box, and then refined it into a light silver bloodline crystal the size of a thumb.

"I don't know if it's a good fit..."

Lin Qing looked at the bloodline crystal in her hand, but wasn't too worried.

After all, such a rudimentary method of absorbing bloodline energy is only a preliminary fusion and incubation, and the requirements are not high. Moreover, this bloodline energy is also very rare and not difficult to absorb.

Moreover, the essence of his life soul is a life-type chaotic god, who is naturally good at this, so he is not very worried.

If all else fails, one can forcibly suppress it by using the power of the most precious treasure in one's own universe.

"One...two...the third."

Before long, Lin Qing refined three fifth-generation bloodline crystals of the 'Momentary True God' in succession.

He also felt that he could mobilize the bloodline energy in his body, which would increase his explosive power, reaction speed and other aspects several times over.

In fact, the bloodlines of various chaotic creatures all improve physical fitness in roughly the same way, with only slight differences in their strengths. The key lies in the innate secret techniques gained after truly fusing bloodlines.

"Hmm, I estimate I'll need to refine about ten portions to reach the limit."

Lin Qing sensed the current state and thought, "But 30% or 40% is enough. Let's upgrade the Abyss first and find the monster with the Eternal Frozen Ice Flame bloodline."

As it stands, this survival world poses no challenge for him, so he naturally won't waste any time.

Improving our strength as quickly as possible and passing the Light King's test is the right thing to do.
