Shadow Needle 36

  In the lower-grade heavenly artifacts, there are also a few pieces that contain extremely rare seals. One of the bell-type lower-grade heavenly artifacts has a seal called "Misty Heart Array", which can confuse people's minds and make them unable to focus during battle. Another gourd-shaped lower-grade heavenly artifact contains the "Small Mustard Seed Array". According to the introduction, this small green gourd is made of special material and can hold as much as ten large water jars, making it a rare heavenly artifact that can store a large amount of liquid. There is also a flute-shaped lower-grade heavenly artifact that contains the seal "Sound Killing Array", which is the best weapon for cultivating sound-based martial skills.

  "These are all low-grade heavenly artifacts, but their value differs greatly. Those with the 'Fierce Edge Array' are the lowest in value, worth around 10,000 low-grade spirit stones depending on the material used. However, those with the 'Blazing Fire Array', 'Frozen Ice Array', 'Thorny Array', and 'Lightning Attraction Array' are more valuable, worth around 11,000 low-grade spirit stones. The most valuable low-grade heavenly artifacts are those special items with unique restrictions, such as the bell with the 'Mind Confusion Array', the green gourd with the 'Small Mount Meru Array', and the flute with the 'Sound Killing Array', which are all worth nearly 15,000 low-grade spirit stones."

  Liu Bo listened to Liu Tianxiong's explanation while carefully examining these few special lower-grade heavenly artifacts.

  After finishing the low-grade Heaven Tools, Liu Tianxiong pointed to those mid-grade Heaven Tools and continued to explain: "These mid-grade Heaven Tools all contain mid-grade first-class restrictions. Each Heaven Tool's restriction is different, so which one is best depends on your needs. The prices of these mid-grade Heaven Tools are roughly between 20,000 to 50,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. For example, a weapon with the mid-grade 'Sharp Array' restriction costs around 20,000 low-grade Spirit Stones. Some mid-grade Heaven Tools with extremely special restrictions may cost between 30,000 to 50,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, but generally won't exceed 50,000 low-grade Spirit Stones."

  Upon arriving at the Supreme Heaven Artifact area, Liu Tianxiong continued, "All of these Supreme Heaven Artifacts contain top-grade forbidden techniques. The lowest price for a Supreme Heaven Artifact is 500,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the highest will not exceed 1,000,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. You two should carefully select one that you need the most, rather than choosing the most valuable one."

  Liu Bo and Liu Yan knew that the opportunity was rare, and the value of top-grade heavenly equipment was so high. Except for this chance, it would be difficult for them to get another chance to obtain top-grade heavenly equipment in a short period of time. Therefore, both of them carefully selected and referred to their own martial skills, striving to choose the one that would help themselves the most among the top-grade heavenly equipment.

  Half a time later, the two of them carefully compared and finally selected their favorite heavenly instruments. Liu Yan chose a short sword with the top-grade forbidden technique "Blazing Fire Array", while Liu Bo chose a set of three needle-shaped hidden weapons.

  "Xiao Yan's chosen short sword isn't bad, your 'Inferno Flame' spiritual technique, after being infused with the 'Blazing Array' restriction of this short sword, can increase its power by three times. It is indeed the most suitable heavenly instrument for you to use now. Xiao Bo's chosen 'Dark Shadow Needles' are extraordinary, although they are only upper-grade heavenly instruments, their value exceeds that of ordinary top-grade heavenly instruments. These three flying needles form a set and can also be used as three separate upper-grade heavenly instruments. Because each needle contains the fusion of 'Acceleration Array', 'Sharpness Array', and 'Silent Array' restrictions, these three needles can be used in conjunction or separately." Liu Tianxiong said with approval.

  "Even if this set of three flying needles can be used as three pieces of heavenly equipment, it should still be inferior to a single top-quality heavenly equipment, right?" Liu Yan asked.

  "If these three fusion prohibitions were set on your shortsword, the value would certainly be far less than a top-grade heavenly artifact. However, if they are actually set on a small fine needle, then its value will greatly increase. You can imagine the difficulty of setting three fusion prohibitions on a single fine needle compared to setting them on a shortsword - the difference in difficulty is huge, and that's how high its value should be." Liu Tianxiong's analogy made it clear to both Liu Yans just how precious this set of flying needles was.

  "I didn't expect this set of flying needle hidden weapons to be so valuable, I just wanted to increase the power of the 'Shadow Needle' technique, and unexpectedly picked up a treasure." Liu Bo listened to his grandfather's explanation, and was even more delighted.

  "I've been taken advantage of! Grandfather, look at this set of flying needles that Xiaobo chose. Its value is comparable to a top-grade heavenly artifact. You can't be biased and unfair. You have to compensate me." Liu Yan made a very disgruntled expression.

  "You stinky brat, those were all your own choices, what does it have to do with me? However, looking at how hard you're trying, I can give you another mid-grade storage bag." Liu Tianxiong had always been very doting on Liu Yan, and even though he knew it was just for show, he still agreed to his request.

  "Grandpa is really stingy, you should at least compensate me with a high-quality storage bag if you're not giving me an extreme treasure, how can you just give me a mid-quality storage bag?" Seeing grandpa agree so easily, Liu Yan takes the opportunity to ask for more.

  "Top-grade heaven equipment? Don't even think about it. It's not that Grandfather is being stingy, but even if I gave you a top-grade heaven equipment, the power you can unleash now wouldn't exceed that of a high-grade heaven equipment. Besides, a mid-grade storage bag is already sufficient for your current use. Wait until your cultivation breaks through to the Condensing Spirit stage, and Grandfather will give you a high-grade storage bag."

  Liu Yan saw that his own tricks had achieved extraordinary results, and he actually got another top-quality storage bag for nothing. He was secretly delighted in his heart, and didn't make any more unreasonable demands.

  Liu Tianxiong then explained some common knowledge about the Extreme Treasure to the two, and took them to a secret room where the Fire Seeds were stored to select the Spiritual Fire.

  There aren't many spiritual fires stored in the secret room. All of them are placed in a transparent box, and there are only about ten or so varieties of fire in total.

  "Grandfather, why are there so few spiritual fires? There are only a dozen or so in total, far fewer than the magical instruments outside." Liu Yan said curiously.

  "You ignorant kid, if you don't understand then don't spout nonsense. There are sixteen types of spiritual fire here, can this be considered few? It's just that our Liu family has inherited the fire-type spiritual root, which is why we have so many types of spiritual fire. Even if it were a top-notch power from the Great Jin Empire, they might not necessarily have more types of spiritual fire than our Liu family." Liu Tianxiong scolded.

  "Isn't there a way to make the spark give birth to a few more spirit fires?" Liu Bo asked curiously.

  "The method is available, but the cost is very high, and it's usually not worth it. Except for natural production, only those who have cultivated fire-based martial arts to the divine level or above can give birth to some low-grade spiritual fire for sale, so the value of spiritual fire has always been very high. Even a first-class spiritual fire is comparable in value to a lower-grade precious artifact." Liu Tianxiong said solemnly.

  "It's so hard to get Linghuo, it seems I don't have a chance." Liu Yan said dejectedly.

  "You still have a chance if you work hard to cultivate, but this opportunity is very rare, and you must seize it when the next opportunity comes." Liu Tianxiong still attaches great importance to Liu Yan's talent, with both encouragement and warning in his words.
