Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 52: God-Destroying Thorn

the next period of time.

In addition to drawing talismans, Lin Changyue went out more frequently.

He wanted to buy equipment for the possible upcoming battle.

The only magical weapons he has that are barely usable are the two first-grade, top-quality magical weapons his family gave him after he broke through to the seventh level of Qi training. One is of defense type, the other of offense type.

But a first-grade top-grade magic weapon is of little use to Lin Changyue.

His physique was comparable to that of a second-stage early-stage demon beast, and his own defensive power was astonishing. Therefore, first-stage defensive magic weapons became dispensable to him.
As for a first-grade, top-grade attacking magic weapon, it would be better for him to throw two talismans!
The second-level talisman has greater lethality and does not require the consumption of mana.

But this is not because the family does not want to give Lin Changyue a more advanced first-grade magic weapon, or even a second-grade magic weapon.

the reason is simple.

Lin Changyue was at the seventh level of Qi Refining and had just entered the late stage of Qi Refining. Given his powerful magic power, it was difficult for him to activate a first-grade magic weapon.

Although the power will be greater, the burden is too heavy and one's magic power will be exhausted after using it a few times.

As for the second-level magic weapon, forget it. The magic power of the seventh level of Qi Refining is simply not enough to unleash the true lethality of the second-level magic weapon.

Therefore, the magic weapon that Lin Changyue wanted to buy this time was not an ordinary magic weapon.

But it is a magical weapon of the soul!

Although the Seven-Colored Glazed Soul Refining Classic is a comprehensive soul secret method, in addition to training and strengthening the soul, it also has some soul-related attack methods.

However, relying solely on the powerful attacks of the soul itself will never be able to beat those supported by magic weapons.

Just like a monk can practice magic and kill enemies with his powerful magic.

But almost all cultivators have magical tools and do not rely solely on magic.

This is true from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.

……

Magical instruments of the spirit and soul are very scarce.

If you go to the market town around the Lin family, even in a relatively large market town like the Seven Star Island, you can hardly find any soul-related magic tools.

Even if you are extremely lucky, you may only come across some defective or low-quality products.

The spiritual weapon that Lin Changyue wanted to buy was naturally a second-level one.

And it’s best if it’s of the second-grade, top-grade quality!

Fortunately, this is Liaoyuan Immortal City. Even though the current situation is turbulent, it is still the number one city for independent cultivators in the Yu Kingdom's immortal world, and it has the richest variety of magical instruments.

If you can’t buy something in Liaoyuan Fairy City, you don’t have to consider other markets or fairy cities.

Over the past few days, I saw more than ten soul-related magic tools in various magic tool stores.

There are defensive types and offensive types.

Unfortunately, these spiritual artifacts are mostly of the second-grade, lower grade, and are of little help to Lin Changyue, whose spiritual soul is already comparable to that of the late foundation-building stage.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Half a month later, the owner of a shop he had visited before finally told Lin Changyue that his shop had newly acquired a second-grade, top-grade soul-related magic weapon called the 'Soul-Eating Bell'!
Just use your soul to activate it and emit the soul-capturing magic sound to directly shock the enemy's soul.

For cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building or below, their consciousness will basically be shattered under the impact of this Soul-Devouring Bell, and they will have the power of life and death, without any ability to resist.

Even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building would feel dizzy and his strength would be greatly reduced under the attack of this bell if he did not have a soul-defense magic weapon.

It can be said that this magic weapon is the best of the best.

Even some second-grade high-quality sets of magical instruments are worth less than this.

After hearing the introduction, Lin Changyue was immediately moved. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

If he could buy this Soul-Devouring Bell, his chances of success would increase by 50%!
But after asking about the price of the magic weapon, Lin Changyue fell silent.

Price: 190,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Small knives are allowed, but the floating amount will not exceed 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.

You should know that the normal price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is 5 to 6 low-grade spirit stones.

If you have connections, it might be a little lower.

At major auctions, it is snatched up by many parties, and generally does not exceed 8 low-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, this time when I came to Liaoyuan Immortal City, I prepared a total of nearly 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.

These days, Lin Changyue and Chen Ping spent almost 50,000 yuan on purchasing second-level talismans and puppet materials.

Therefore, even if all the remaining property of the Lin family was taken, it would not be enough to buy this Soul-Devouring Bell.

of course.

Lin Changyue had some private money on him, which he obtained from selling a large number of first-grade high-quality talismans, totaling about 40,000 low-grade spirit stones.

If you add up the spirit stones on him and the family's property, it would be barely enough.

But the remaining spirit stones of the Lin family were used to buy foundation-building pills, and he could not find a reason to embezzle them.

It can’t be diverted!
After all, there are many uncertainties in his plan. He may not be able to start it, and even if he does, it may not succeed.

"Shopkeeper, this is too expensive, isn't it? A normal second-level magic weapon costs 30,000 to 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. 190,000, even for some magic weapon embryos, is about the same price, right?" Lin Changyue thought it was outrageous.

The shop owner, however, was not at all panicked. He said, "Fellow Daoist, we have quite a few second-tier magical instruments in our shop. You've seen them all, and some are quite affordable. However, soul-related magical instruments are inherently rare, so their prices tend to be high. Furthermore, this Soul-Devouring Bell is a second-tier, top-grade soul instrument, and its value is comparable to some third-tier magical instruments."

Lin Changyue shook his head and thought to himself what a pity.

I finally found the magic weapon I wanted, but I didn't have enough spirit stones on me. It was really sad.

These days, after collecting the materials for second-level talismans, he has also successfully produced many second-level low-grade talismans.

But even if he sold all the second-grade low-grade talismans on him, he could only get an extra 10,000 low-grade spirit stones at most.

It's just a drop in the bucket.

It seems that there is no way to buy the equipment I like.

Seeing that Lin Changyue really had no money and could not afford the Soul-Devouring Bell, the shop owner did not force him to make the deal.

After all, this magic weapon is indeed very valuable, and he can't lower the price.

But he changed his selling point to a magical instrument and said, "If you are really short of money and can't afford so many spirit stones, you can actually consider not buying a regular spiritual instrument... a disposable magical weapon is also a good choice."

"Please give me some advice, boss." Lin Changyue's eyes lit up.

"God-killing Thorns!" The shopkeeper took out two special magical weapons about three feet long and introduced them, "These are disposable soul-killing magical weapons. Their effects are somewhat similar to those of 'talismans'!"

"Fellow Daoist Fu Bao should know this, right? It's a Jindan True Man who sealed a portion of the power of his life-defining magic weapon in a special container, which can be used by low-level cultivators."

"This God-Destroying Thorn works in a similar way."

"It can't be used infinitely, and it requires the cultivator to nourish it with his soul. The stronger the cultivator's soul, the greater the power it can cultivate."

"If you can find a Jindan Zhenren senior to help nurture this, this God-Destroying Thorn can unleash its maximum power. Theoretically, it's even more powerful than the Soul-Devouring Bell! This is because the upper limit of this magical weapon has reached the second level..."
