Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

After Lan Jin left, Lin Yi sat down opposite the two of them, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Not bad." Solomon's voice was much more lively than before, no longer as harsh as before - the voice that was like nails scratching on a blackboard has now become normal.

"Where are the things?" Heiduo asked straight to the point without any further ado.

“They’re all here.” Lin Yi took out three [Undead Essences]. After the azure essences appeared in the room, Lin Yi clearly felt that the aura of Solomon and Heiduo suddenly changed.

The two of them closed their eyes at the same time, as if they were trying their best to suppress the restless summons in their bodies.

It's no wonder - the essence of the dead is as attractive to the undead as catnip is to cats.

Just sensing its breath was enough to make these undead creatures unable to suppress their desire to devour.

The origins of most undead are flawed. Except for a few high-level undead who were born in the underworld, most undead lords have fought their way up from the lowest level undead.

"Be quiet, and behave yourself."

Solomon growled and forcibly suppressed the restless undead.

The situation of Blackfall on the other side was not much better - the fact that they could stand out from the many necromancers proved that the number of their summons was extremely large.

After all, the contest between necromancers is essentially a competition to see who controls the more powerful undead army.

"Make an offer."

Heiduo took a deep breath and just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

At this moment, he could clearly feel through the contract that the Undead Lords who had signed the contract with him were as restless as hungry cubs, eagerly craving for these [Undead Essences].

"Five million Paradise Coins for one, it's definitely a good deal."

Lin Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and reported an astonishing number.

However, neither Solomon nor Heiduo showed any shock after hearing the price. Instead, they felt that Lin Yi's offer was even fair.

You should know that [Essence of the Undead] itself is an epic item. From the auction just now, we can see that epic items are worth at least four million in Paradise Coins.

Lin Yi was essentially giving the two of them a lowest price. If the two were still prepared to bargain, it would be really disrespectful to Lin Yi.

"Okay." Heiduo's voice was much softer than at the beginning. He had already prepared himself to be severely slaughtered, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so fair.

There is no way, Lin Yi, this is the result of Lin Yi's careful consideration.

Millions of Paradise Coins in liquidity are difficult to raise even for large adventure groups.

Rather than hoarding goods, it is better to cash out as soon as possible.

"Do you accept the deduction?"

"Yes, you can take out soul crystals, priest-related, abyss-related, and technical-related items. As long as I am satisfied, they can be used to offset the cost."

Hearing Lin Yi's request, Solomon and Heiduo looked up at Lin Yi at the same time.

Lin Yi's words almost made it clear that he is now developing in the third system, which can be said to be a bottomless pit of resources.

The Priest system is relatively okay, but in the later stages, both the Abyss system and the Technique system become bottomless pits that burn money.

"I don't have any items from the Priest and Technique departments, but I can bring out items from the Abyss department. See if you need anything."

[Pure Abyss Soul Crystal]

Origin: Twisting Abyss

Quality: Epic
Category: Special Materials

Effect of use: It can be used to create soul equipment of the Abyss, or it can be used to nourish creatures of the Abyss.

Rating: 652
Introduction: The items produced in the soul crystal mine polluted by the power of the abyss are poison to most people, but to a small number of people, they are treasures.

Lin Yi took the two [Pure Abyss Soul Crystals] handed to him by Hei Duo. As soon as his fingertips touched them, he felt a biting chill spreading along his fingertips.

For Hill, this thing is a good thing for nourishing his soul. Lin Yi nodded and put it away.

"These two crystals can be used to deduct four million Paradise Coins. For the rest, do you plan to pay with Paradise Coins, or will you look for something else?"

The reason why Heiduo did not discard the soul crystal contaminated by the power of the abyss was simply because Heiduo himself was reluctant to do so. He did not expect that this thing could actually be sold now.

Now, not only can he recycle waste, but he can also deduct a large sum of money. No matter how you look at it, he is making money from this deal.

Solomon on the side pondered for a moment, then took out a pitch-black bone ring from the storage space, with dark green runes wrapped around the surface of the ring.

[Embrace of the Dead]

Origin: Netherworld, Skeleton King's Court
Quality: legendary
Category: Jewelry (Ring)

Equipment effect: The wearer can summon a "skeleton guard" (the strength increases with the user's undead skill level), which lasts for 30 minutes and has a cooldown of 12 hours.

Additional Skills: Resurrection of the Dead (Passive) - When the wearer kills an enemy, there is a 10% chance of transforming it into a low-level undead creature for 5 minutes.

Rating: 498
Introduction: This ring, forged by a certain undead lord himself, contains absolute control over the dead.

"How about this one?" Solomon pushed the bone ring towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi just glanced at it and shook his head, "I already have a better ring. Why don't you sell this ring to the Blue Chamber of Commerce? I need Paradise Coins more now."

Lin Yi took a look at the ring that Solomon took out, and its properties were indeed good.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi is now wearing the ring from the [Abyss Prayer] set, and once it is taken off, the effect of the entire set of equipment will be destroyed.

In comparison, no matter how excellent this undead ring is, it is not worth it.

"Okay." Solomon nodded.

This [Embrace of the Dead] was originally an equipment that he had discarded - in the last life, he swept across half of the world and obtained an epic ring with better attributes, so this legendary one was naturally left idle.

Lin Yi pressed the call bell on the table. Not long after, an appraiser in a blue Chamber of Commerce uniform respectfully pushed the door open.

"Excuse me, what may the three distinguished guests need?" the businessman asked respectfully after coming in.

Lin Yi pointed at the [Embrace of the Dead] in Solomon's hand and said, "Please help me estimate the price of this ring."

The appraiser took the [Embrace of the Dead] with both hands and scanned the ring surface with a professional gaze.

After a moment, he smiled professionally. "It's a legendary undead ring. It has excellent attributes but a slightly lower rating. The market price should be between 2.5 million and 3.5 million. If the three of you are willing to sell it directly, the Blue Merchant Association is willing to pay 3.2 million for it."

Before coming here, Lan Jin had specifically instructed: In this box, if you come across something good, you must grab it as soon as possible.

The price given by the appraiser at this moment is almost the same as the market price.

After hearing the other party's offer, Solomon did not hesitate and threw the ring to the other party.

Although Solomon might be able to get another 200,000 or 300,000 if he sold it himself, the current situation does not allow Solomon to raise funds, so it would be more convenient to sell it directly to Blue Merchants.

Heiduo was not idle either, pouring out a large pile of legendary rare ores from the storage space.

The appraiser's eyes lit up - these were all in-demand materials for forging high-end equipment.

Thanks to the auction that just ended, the Blue Chamber of Commerce had ample funds and bought up all of it immediately.

After dealing with all the items on his body, Heiduo took out another 7 million Paradise Coins as the difference and bought two [Essence of the Undead] from Lin Yi.

Solomon was a little short of money and only had enough to buy one.

After all, Solomon has just been promoted to the fifth level, and he is still far behind the sixth-level necromancer Heiduo in terms of foundation, and the funds in his hands are indeed not that strong.

But for Solomon, being able to obtain the [Essence of the Undead] is not a loss at all.

If you want to get this thing, you have to go into the underworld and dig in some ancient battlefields, otherwise you can only rely on your luck.

After Heiduo obtained the two [Essences of the Undead], he directly summoned out the two undead that had followed him for the longest time.

One was an undead knight in tattered armor, with a faint blue soul fire flickering in his eyes; the other was a ghostly banshee with a flickering figure, her long pale hair moving in the wind.

As soon as the two high-level undead appeared, they were attracted by the breath of [Undead Essence] and let out greedy growls.

Heiduo snorted coldly and threw two essences to them respectively.

The Undead Knight caught the essence neatly and stuffed it directly between Senbai's teeth.

With the teeth-grinding sound of bones rubbing against each other, its rotten armor began to repair itself, dark golden lines appeared on the skeleton, and its entire body transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ghost banshee's devouring method was much more elegant. It melted the essence into its translucent body, and the illusory figure gradually solidified. Its pale skin actually turned red, and one could vaguely see some of its peerless elegance in life. The temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped, and tiny ice crystals began to condense around the banshee.

"Two monarchs?" Solomon was stunned after feeling the changes in the aura of the two summoned creatures.

As a colleague, he knew very well what this meant - even a fifth-level necromancer like him only had a few undead chieftains under his command, and a true monarch-level existence was hard to come by.

"Well, these two guys have been stuck at this stage because of their lack of origin, but this time they have finally completed the promotion."

Heiduo's voice at this moment was also very excited. With the Undead Lord, Heiduo could directly create an undead disaster in the next world.

The gap between them is like the difference between a stream and the ocean.

The number of low-level undead that an ordinary undead leader can command is limited. Even if he contracts more leaders, they are nothing more than guerrillas.

But monarch-level beings are different—they have a natural and absolute suppression over low-level undead.

As long as the mana supply is continuous, Blackfall can open the gate to the underworld and allow a flood of undead souls to pour into the world.

By then, there will be mountains of bones and tides of dead bodies. That will be a true natural disaster.

Heiduo raised his hand, and the figures of the two undead lords slowly dissipated and returned to the underworld.

Solomon looked at the [Essence of the Undead] in his hand, and finally summoned out a great undead wizard.

This great wizard was the first undead leader Solomon met when he first entered the underworld.

When Solomon handed over the [Essence of the Undead], the archmage's bony fingers trembled slightly.

It poured its essence into the green soul flame leaping in the skull, and instantly the flame surged, completely devouring the essence.

"I didn't expect that I could recall my memories of my previous life again." The great undead wizard suddenly said these words in the void language.

The dark blue soul fire flickered in the empty eye sockets, as if it had crossed the barriers of time and space.

"I am Elsalin, the last Star Mage..."

"Master." The Great Necromancer suddenly turned to Solomon, his soul flame flickering violently, "Thank you for letting me find my real name. In return..."

It lightly stroked its bony fingers, and a bright starlight suddenly bloomed in the void, and a soul crystal appeared in front of Solomon.

"This soul crystal contains my understanding of star magic. I hope it will be helpful to the master." After doing all this, the figure of the Undead Mage disappeared in the room.

It can be seen that even though it has been promoted to the Undead Lord, condensing such a soul crystal containing the original power is still a huge consumption for it.

"Shit luck." Heiduo couldn't help but curse under his breath.

As a necromancer, he knew very well what this meant - when the undead were promoted to monarchs, there was only a one in ten thousand chance of awakening their memories from their previous lives.

Once his memory is restored, the power of this undead monarch will increase exponentially - he may even awaken his special abilities from his lifetime.

In the underworld, there was such an outrageous example - the "Holy Skeleton Monarch".

That guy was a legendary paladin in his lifetime. After dying in battle, he fell into the underworld, but his memory was unexpectedly revived when he was promoted to the Lord of the Undead.

As a result, it not only retained the power of Holy Light, but even fused it with the energy of the undead, creating the "Anti-Holy Flame" - a pale fire that can burn the soul.

As a result, the Lord of the Holy Relics became a great overlord of the underworld. Holy light itself is the nemesis of the undead. Now that an undead can use the power of holy light, how can other undead fight him?

If Elsalin, a subordinate of Solomon, really fully awakens, then Solomon's strength will probably skyrocket to a terrifying level.

"However, memory recovery may not necessarily be a good thing."

Heiduo looked at Solomon. Although memory recovery could greatly increase the strength of summoned creatures, it was also easy for summoned creatures to rebel. Such examples were not uncommon among necromancers.

"Don't compare me to those idiots." Solomon slammed the bone staff in his hand to the ground, and the end of the staff collided with the ground with a heart-pounding muffled sound. He knew exactly what Hei Duo was hinting at - this guy was almost writing "wait for you to fail" on his face.

In the circle of necromancers, tragedies of contracts backlash are indeed common.

But most of those unlucky guys have their own faults: some treat high-level undead as coolies, and even deduct the basic [Soul Crystals] that sustain their existence; some discard them after using them, and unilaterally tear up the contract without even blinking an eye - do they really think those ancient undead that have survived for thousands of years are puppets that can be manipulated at will?
Solomon's fingers under his black robe gently stroked the newly acquired soul crystal. The relationship between him and Elsalin was not a simple master-servant contract.

After the transaction was completed, Heiduo and Solomon did not stay long. They exchanged a few simple words and left one after another. Lin Yi waited here for a while.

Soon, Lan Jin brought Lin Yi a savings card with 700 million Paradise Coins.

After taking the savings card, Lin Yi prepared to buy a bunch of high-level halo scrolls from Lan Jin's warehouse. Since the demand for this thing is low, most chambers of commerce have stock of it.

Lan Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this - this kind of unpopular goods have always been in serious backlog.

He immediately called his servant, and in just a moment, a list appeared in front of Lin Yi.

Soon, a complete inventory list appeared on Lin Yi's desk.

Lin Yi accepted the offer and directly bought all the gold and light gold halo scrolls in the Blue Chamber of Commerce’s stock.

In total, Lin Yi spent 8 million Paradise Coins, and this was the price after Lan Jin gave him a 10% discount.

After all, although the Halo Scroll is a less popular product in the same tier, its quality is there after all.

Soon, when the staff of the Blue Chamber of Commerce brought out a box of glowing scrolls, the whole room was bathed in a golden and light golden halo.

Lin Yi counted the number and after making sure there was no problem, he collected all the scrolls.

After leaving the Staff Street, Lin Yi went straight to the Skill Enhancement Hall and randomly chose a skill warehouse to lie down.

After learning a bunch of halo skills in succession, Lin Yi felt his brain was in chaos.

Although the knowledge included in the skill scrolls of the Aura system is not much, it is still a considerable number when accumulated over time.

Looking at the series of newly added halo skills on the skill panel, Lin Yi fed them to the Ultimate Halo one by one as nutrients, just like playing a game. Naturally, the Ultimate Halo accepted them all.

After Lin Yi continuously fed more than thirty golden-quality halos, the Ultimate Halo finally experienced a qualitative leap.

[Ultimate Halo: Level 3 (100/)]

quality:? ? ?
Skill Type: Passive
Skill Effect 1: Attack (omitted)

Skill Effect 2: Defense (omitted)

Skill Effect 3: Auxiliary (omitted)

Skill Effect 4: Recovery (omitted)

Skill Effect 5: Special Effects (omitted)

Thanks to the passive skill [Aura Master], Lin Yi can directly obtain the full level effect when learning aura skills. Otherwise, the cost of upgrading these skills alone would be enough to bankrupt him.

After dealing with the aura skills, Lin Yi turned his attention to [Swordsmanship Grandmaster].

The harvest in the previous world was quite rich, and he now has 23 soul crystals (complete) in his hands.

[Yes/No: Improve the Sword Master Level 23. To improve this ability, you need Soul Crystal (Complete) × 5 + 135000 Paradise Coins. ]

Lin Yi chose to upgrade to the fourth-level sword master. As Lin Yi confirmed the upgrade, twenty complete soul crystals shattered instantly.

In an instant, his consciousness was pulled into a strange space——

Amid the falling snow, the white world is silent.

The biting cold wind whistled past with ice crystals, leaving only a vast expanse of desolation between heaven and earth.

A swordsman sat quietly under an ancient tree, his figure blending seamlessly into the snowfield.

Although the long sword lying across his knees has not been unsheathed, it exudes a suffocating sharp aura.

The snow piled up and melted on the swordsman's shoulders, over and over again.

The swordsman remained motionless, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

One year, two years…ten years.

Until one day - the swordsman drew his sword.

There was no dazzling sword light, no earth-shaking power, just the simplest horizontal slash.

But when this sword was struck, the entire snowfield suddenly froze.

The dancing snowflakes froze in the air and the whistling cold wind came to an abrupt stop.

An invisible crack spread from under the swordsman's feet until it split the entire sky.

Then Lin Yi's consciousness also left this space. (End of this chapter)
