Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

The market price of low-grade magic weapons is generally between 120 and 150 spirit stones, and magic weapons made of refined iron are even cheaper.

The other party immediately slashed the price of the Beast Trapping Net to one hundred spirit stones, which Lin Yun naturally could not accept.

"Fellow Daoist Wei Qian is joking. The cost of making this Beast Trapping Net is not low."

"I ruined a few of them before. If I sold them for a hundred spirit stones each, I wouldn't make any profit at all."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian shook his head repeatedly and said, "This net hasn't been tested in actual combat, so we don't know how tough it is. Besides, it looks like it's very easy to damage. A hundred spirit stones is quite a lot."

"Fellow Daoist Wei Qian, your concerns are not without merit, but I can guarantee that those at the early stage of the first rank will absolutely not be able to escape the shackles of this net."

"If it is a mid-stage first-order demon beast, it can be trapped for at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even if it breaks free afterward, it will be badly injured."

"In addition, since you bought my Trapped Beast Net, I can repair it for you three times free of charge, provided it's not completely destroyed."

Lin Yun insisted on not lowering the price, because one hundred and twenty spirit stones was indeed the bottom line for a low-grade magic weapon, not to mention that the two beast-trapping nets he had refined were of excellent quality.

If you were to sell it at Zhongling Market, it could very well fetch a price of 130 or 140 spirit stones.

After all, among low-grade magical artifacts, there are very few that can trap or imprison enemies; they are generally used for offense or defense.

Seeing Lin Yun's determination, Wei Qian frowned and said, "How about this, I'll offer some more demon beast materials and flesh as payment."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Monster materials and flesh...

After considering it for a moment, Lin Yun finally nodded and said, "Then let me see what kind of material it is first. I can't just agree to let you take any scraps, can I?"

Upon hearing that there was hope, Wei Qian grinned and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin. Originally, these things were going to be sold at the trade fair today, but unfortunately, we were delayed on the way and missed the trade fair."

As he spoke, he patted his storage bag, revealing a pile of dismembered monster materials scattered on the ground.

The air was immediately filled with the stench of blood, clearly from the monsters that had just been hunted.

"This half of the Earth Rock Bear's hide, although it represents the early stage of the first rank, can be used as talisman paper for a mid-grade first rank talisman if it is specially processed."

"How about thirty-five spirit stones?"

Lin Yun glanced at it briefly before looking away.

If a complete bear pelt were priced this way, he might consider it, but half a pelt seems a bit too expensive.

"These claws were pulled from a mid-stage first-tier Thousand Shadow Leopard. I even lost two brothers in the process of hunting this beast."

  

"if..."

At this point, Wei Qian glanced at the trap net in Lin Yun's hand.

If there had been a trap net back then, we would never have paid such a heavy price.

These sharp claws piqued Lin Yun's interest, and he asked, "How much?"

"A leopard claw costs five spirit stones, and I'll sell it for even more at the trade fair."

The materials from a mid-stage first-tier demonic beast were indeed priced accordingly. After some thought, Lin Yun asked for four Thousand Shadow Leopard claws.

"What about the other things? Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't find them appealing?" Wei Qian pressed.

The rest of the monster materials were mostly of average quality and certainly didn't meet Lin Yun's standards.

"Fellow Daoist, please bring out some demonic beast flesh and blood. These materials are not very useful to me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian collected the monster materials on the ground and then took out several pieces of bloody monster meat.

"The hind leg meat of the Azure-Armored Ox, the meat of the Crimson-Scaled Wild Boar, the tail of the Demon Swamp Lizard, and this bottle of the essence blood of the Unicorn Spirit Deer!"

Lin Yun's gaze was quickly drawn to the bottle of the unicorn spirit deer's essence blood; he could sense the rich life essence contained within the bottle.

This is the only bottle. Once it is completely refined, it will definitely allow him to establish another internal energy and blood pillar!

"How much is this bottle of essence blood?"

Wei Qian chuckled and then held up five fingers.

"Fifty spirit stones is definitely a fair price. This is a mid-stage first-tier unicorn spirit deer. If you sell it in the market, you can raise the price considerably."

After careful consideration for a while, Lin Yun finally nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lin! I hope there will be opportunities to trade in the future." Wei Qian laughed heartily.

The two exchanged money for goods.

"Goodbye!"

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please take care!"

The two trap nets were sold, and Lin Yun received 170 spirit stones, a bottle of essence blood from a unicorn spirit deer, and four sharp claws from a Thousand Shadow Leopard.

"The art of weapon crafting is quite lucrative."

"Of course, the premise is that the magical artifacts you forge can be sold."

Lin Yunqing counted his gains, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

The material cost for him to refine three Beast Trapping Nets was only a little over sixty spirit stones. The profit from selling just two Beast Trapping Nets was indeed quite considerable.

However, he was not blinded by the immediate benefits. If it weren't for the presence of the demon-hunting team, he might have kept these two beast-trapping nets for a long time.

"Those who can truly earn a continuous stream of spirit stones are still renowned weapon refiners like Master Mo."

"Once you establish a reputation, people will naturally come to you with materials to commission you to refine weapons."

Unfortunately, he was only just beginning in the art of weapon crafting, and naturally could not achieve the same widespread fame as Master Mo.

...

In the following period, Lin Yun stayed at home and rarely left his courtyard.

During the day, he studied weapon crafting techniques, read the weapon crafting manual sent to him by his family, and mastered every spiritual rune recorded on it.

At night, he would meditate to cultivate his inner energy and take nourishing pills to improve his cultivation.

As for the bottle of the essence blood of the unicorn spirit deer, Lin Yun was not in a hurry to refine it.

Because he had previously consumed a Crimson Jade Fruit from his family, the third internal energy cultivation technique in his body was almost complete.

He planned to establish the third internal energy and blood pillar, then refine the bottle of essence blood, and cultivate the "Blood Moving Technique" to its peak in one go!

Life was fulfilling and busy, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

He only left the courtyard twice during that time, and that was when Master Mo was giving a lecture, which Lin Yun naturally did not miss.

With graduation time drawing ever closer, Master Mo's weapon-refining classes are becoming increasingly rare.

The more Lin Yun studied weapon crafting, the more he realized how profound Master Mo's skills were. He wished he could become his disciple and learn all of his techniques.

Unfortunately, Master Mo did not intend to take them as his personal disciples, and their relationship was limited to that of nominal disciples.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and a sound like waves resounded in Lin Yun's courtyard.

boom!

He refined the essence blood of the unicorn spirit deer and cultivated the fourth Qi and Blood Inner Stance!

The Blood-Moving Technique has been mastered!

Lin Yun, whose entire body was still glowing with a layer of blood red, opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his pupils.

dong dong!dong dong!

He could clearly hear his own powerful heartbeat; with each beat, a large amount of blood and energy was pumped to every corner of his body.

Crunch!

Lin Yun exerted a little force, and the muscles on his body suddenly bulged, tearing the robe he was wearing.

"A physical body comparable to a mid-stage first-tier demonic beast... I didn't expect his physical skills to surpass his magical power cultivation."

...
