The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1002 - 1000: Soul Tool Crystal

Chapter 1002: Chapter 1000: Soul Tool Crystal

"The Purple Cloud Sword, crafted by Xun Han, the Chief Disciple of the Artifact Dao Sect!"

"It is a top-tier ninth-grade spirit instrument. Its power may not compare with that of an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, but it’s almost there!"

"The Purple Cloud Sword should be the pinnacle spirit instrument in this auction, bar none."

"The bidding for the Purple Cloud Sword starts at 10,000 points, and each subsequent bid must be no less than 100 points!"

"Please place your bids."

Lin Bai stared intently at the Purple Cloud Sword, a smile appearing on his face.

"Finally, a sword-type spirit instrument has appeared."

"The Purple Cloud Sword, actually from the hand of the Chief Disciple of the Artifact Dao Sect!"

"It looks extraordinary."

Lin Bai smiled lightly.

Seeing the smile on Lin Bai’s face, Gong Chan quickly explained the capabilities of the sword, which greatly satisfied Lin Bai.

Naturally, the Purple Cloud Sword was also fiercely contested.

Most of the bidders were disciples of the Sword Art Academy.

The price quickly escalated from 10,000 points to 100,000 points.

Once it exceeded 100,000 points, scarcely anyone else dared to make a bid.

"150,000 points! I’ll take this sword," Lin Bai said lightly.

"150,000 points, goddamn, straight from 100,000 points to 150,000 points! So rich!"

"Who is this guy?"

"Again, from Heaven Character No. 13 Room, damn, this guy is so wealthy!"

"Just now, he spent 200,000 points battling with Wu Qiu over the Python Dragon Transformation, and another 200,000 points competing with Cai Yunqi over Gold Sand!"

"And now he’s spending another 150,000 points on this sword!"

"Truly loaded!"

"A rich man’s world, I really don’t understand it."

Many warriors silently shook their heads, Lin Bai’s bid of 150,000 points had pushed the Purple Cloud Sword to its peak value, and it was unlikely anyone else would bid further.

Quickly, the bidding for the Purple Cloud Sword concluded and Lin Bai secured it into his possession.

"Money really isn’t enough!"

"That’s 550,000 points spent so quickly."

Lin Bai smiled and shook his head in silence.

After Zhao Yongsheng finished auctioning the Purple Cloud Sword, he then said seriously, "Next is the final treasure of this auction, and it is a Soul Tool Crystal!"

"What!"

"A Soul Tool Crystal?"

"No way, there’s actually such a thing?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yongsheng’s words, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations.

Lin Bai looked on with great interest and asked, "What is a Soul Tool Crystal?"

Gong Chan explained, "A Soul Tool Crystal is a crystalline stone formed from the remnants of spirit souls left after artifact refiners create spirit instruments, possessing a unique power to directly upgrade a spirit instrument’s grade."

"For instance, if this Soul Tool Crystal possesses the power of a ninth-grade spirit tool, and it is infused into a first-grade spirit tool, it could immediately elevate that tool to the prowess of a ninth-grade spirit instrument!"

"Soul Tool Crystals are extremely rare; even an artifact refiner crafting 10,000 instruments might struggle to produce one."

"The value of a Soul Tool Crystal is no less than a half Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact," Gong Chan said lightly.

Lin Bai nodded his head as if he had just realized something.

Zhao Yongsheng smiled and continued, "Everyone knows that a suitable weapon can significantly enhance a warrior’s combat ability. What if you need to switch weapons, but the new one decreases your fighting capability?"

"If a warrior is accustomed to a weapon and doesn’t wish to switch to another but the power of the current weapon is insufficient, then what should you do?"

"This Soul Tool Crystal can help you!" Zhao Yongsheng chuckled.

"This auction features two Soul Tool Crystals for sale!"

"Both crystals are of ninth-grade quality!"

"This means, once the Soul Tool Crystals are infused into your spirit instruments, they will elevate your instruments to the prowess of ninth-grade quality!"

"Two Soul Tool Crystals are being sold together, starting at 50,000 points, and each increment must be no less than 10,000 points!"

"Please place your bids."

Zhao Yongsheng held in his hands two sparkling purple crystals, radiating mysterious powers.

"Perfect, if I could raise my Qingge Sword to a ninth-grade spirit instrument, then I would have two ninth-grade spirit instruments, and my strength will surely greatly increase."

Lin Bai looked at the Soul Tool Crystals with a fervent expression on his face.

"70,000 points!"

"80,000 points!"

"150,000 points!"

"..."

Lin Bai waited until they had called out for a while before he finally shouted, "250,000 points!"

Hiss—

Lin Bai’s words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm in the entire venue.

From 150,000 points straight to 250,000 points!

Who could bear that?

Many Warriors looked towards the room of Heaven Character No. 13, showing a hostile attitude.

Zhao Yongsheng, however, looked happily towards Lin Bai’s room and smiled, "200,000 points, any higher?"

The venue fell silent.

Enveloping Cai Yunqi and Wu Qiu, anger was evident on their faces. They also wanted to obtain the Soul Tool Crystal, but 250,000 points had completely exceeded their budget.

"Very well, the Soul Tool Crystal will go to the guest in room Heaven Character No. 13 for 200,000 points," Zhao Yongsheng announced with a smile.

"Damn!"

"Who exactly is the guest in room Heaven Character No. 13?"

"So wealthy? Could it be a disciple from the Five Peaks has returned?"

"Python Dragon Transformation 200,000 points, Gold Sand 200,000 points, Purple Cloud Sword 150,000 points, Soul Tool Crystal 250,000 points — this guy spent 800,000 points in this auction!"

"Really rich!"

"800,000 points! I could never earn 800,000 points in my entire life!"

"Who exactly is this person?"

A multitude of Warriors curiously looked towards room Heaven Character No. 13.

800,000 points; that’s not a wealth that Warriors from the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge could possess!

"The last Soul Tool Crystal has been auctioned, and with that, the auction concludes successfully. Please, everyone, leave now," Zhao Yongsheng said, then stepped down from the auction platform.

At that moment,

a maid delivered two Soul Tool Crystals into Lin Bai’s hands, and Lin Bai paid the points.

Gong Chan, watching by the side, felt heartache seeing 800,000 points spent in an instant — truly wealthy.

"Soul Tool Crystal, interesting." Lin Bai took out a Soul Tool Crystal and then pulled out the Qingge Sword.

Immediately, Lin Bai infused the Soul Tool Crystal into the Qingge Sword. The crystal instantly melted, transforming into a stream of pure energy, absorbed by the Qingge Sword.

Suddenly, a dazzling glow burst forth from the Qingge Sword.

"A Ninth-grade Spirit Tool now!"

"This Soul Tool Crystal is indeed powerful!"

Lin Bai swung the Qingge Sword, now enhanced to a Ninth-grade Spirit Tool, exhibiting far more ferocity and greatly increased power over its former Sixth-grade status.

"There’s one more Soul Tool Crystal, but the Qingge Sword has no use for it anymore, so let’s give it away."

"The Jingmeng Sword wielded by Jian Ruohan could use an upgrade."

"Besides, I owe her too much from our time in Martial Intent Mountain; consider this a small compensation."

Lin Bai smiled faintly and stored the remaining Soul Tool Crystal in his storage bag.

Then, Gong Chan escorted Lin Bai out of the auction.

Lin Bai then left War Soul City straight away, heading directly towards the Sword Art Academy.

Having stayed in the Primordial World for about three months, Lin Bai had earned enough points to continue his training with the Mo Wen Sword.

With no further reason to remain in War Soul City, he left immediately to return to the Sword Art Academy.
