At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

The Soul-Suppressing Lock can imprison the opponent's soul, but it is only a low-grade Xuan-level item, which cannot achieve the desired soul attack effect and cannot catch the opponent off guard.

At this moment, a masked man stepped onto the platform and took out a round pearl with deep patterns and flowing light from his pocket, exuding a strange and mysterious aura.

"Everyone, this item is called the 'Bewitching Soul Pearl,' a low-grade Xuan-level magic treasure."

The masked monk began to introduce himself.

"After activating the Soul-Shaking Pearl, the turbid energy inside the pearl will flood the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, causing their soul to surge and turbulent, falling into a mental abyss, their consciousness to become hazy, and their spiritual energy to stagnate."

It is especially effective against demons and ghosts, forcing their spirits to detach from their bodies.

As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, and all eyes turned to him.

"You can exchange it for a high-grade Xuan-level attack talisman, or a spiritual pill that can assist a cultivator in the early stage of the Tongxuan Realm."

Ling Xiu's heart suddenly stirred.

"The Soul-Shaking Pearl of the Abyss?"

This treasure greatly excited him; he had come here specifically to find such a rare treasure.

Even though it's only a low-grade Xuan-level weapon, after hearing this introduction, it can disrupt the opponent's soul, causing them to fall into a mental abyss; its effects are profound and extraordinary.

He was already quite adept at using these kinds of magical artifacts.

Not only Ling Xiu, but also several other cultivators nearby showed intense longing in their eyes.

The exchange conditions deterred most people, as high-grade Xuan-level talismans are already extremely rare.

Elixirs that assist cultivators in the early stages of the Profound Realm are relatively easy to obtain.

A high-grade Xuan-level talisman requires a Xuan-level cultivator to sacrifice a wisp of their divine soul to refine it. Most of the time, only sect elders or senior members of large families would refine it for their juniors and true disciples.

It seems that this masked cultivator was unable to refine talismans on his own, yet urgently needed this item, so he must have been preparing it for his descendants.

At this moment, another monk stepped forward.

"I'll exchange it for two high-grade Xuan-level magic artifacts, is that acceptable?"

The masked cultivator shook his head slightly: "No, I only accept talismans or spiritual pills that can help cultivators in the early stages of the Profound Realm."

Another person stepped forward:

"I have the elixirs needed by cultivators at the Profound Realm, but I lack talismans. How about exchanging them for two jade slips containing defensive formations?"

The masked monk pondered for a moment, then shook his head again.

"The chips are still not enough; they don't meet my expectations."

Ling Xiu knew he couldn't miss this opportunity, so he stood up and stepped forward, lowering his cloak. His voice was deep, resonant, and magnetic:

"I have a high-grade Xuan-level talisman here called 'Extreme Yang Buddha Cleave,' which is an offensive talisman and can be activated three times."

"This small bottle of Herbal Rejuvenation Pills consists entirely of low-grade Xuan-level pills. The seven pills inside are extremely beneficial to the cultivation of early-stage Tongxuan Realm cultivators. Exchanging them for your Bewildering Soul-Shaking Pearl is more than enough. What do you think?"

A high-grade Xuan-level attack talisman, plus precious auxiliary elixirs.

This talisman was originally a trump card that allowed others to save their lives three times. Its overall value far exceeded that of a Soul-Shaking Bead from the Abyss, and even the seven Herb Rejuvenation Pills were quite valuable.

This extravagant gesture silenced the entire room instantly.

The masked monk stiffened slightly, his heart filled with ecstatic joy.

This talisman was exactly what he desperately needed; it would be perfect for him to use himself or leave to his descendants.

He had never seen the herbal pill before and was unsure of its actual effects, but he could take one and verify its authenticity.

"If the pills are truly effective, then the deal is done."

Ling Xiu smiled calmly: "Go ahead and check."

The masked cultivator poured out a Herbal Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it. A warm current immediately spread throughout his body, his true essence slowly filled and expanded, and his physical body was strengthened.

The pill's effects were so mysterious and powerful that they greatly shocked him.

These seven Herb Rejuvenation Pills alone are worth as much as the Soul-Shaking Pearl of the Abyss; he has truly stumbled upon a fortuitous opportunity.

The transaction was completed smoothly under the watchful eyes of everyone, and both of them were overjoyed.

Ling Xiu handed over the talisman and the medicine bottle, and carefully accepted the precious pearl.

The Soul-Shaking Pearl of the Abyss was icy to the touch, its surface shimmering with light, and strange energy fluctuations emanated clearly.

Ling Xiu was very satisfied. If he put it into the Qiankun Xuan Gourd for tempering, this bead could be upgraded to a top-grade Xuan-level bead.

Ling Xiu had kept that Extreme Yang Buddha Cleaving Talisman idle, as his current cultivation level meant his own combat power had long surpassed the power unleashed by the talisman.

As for the Grass Returning Pill, he wasn't worried about it. He was an alchemist, and it wouldn't be long before he was able to start refining this kind of auxiliary pill for cultivators in the Profound Realm.

Although the other treasures on display were tempting, most of them were not very useful and the exchange cost was high, so Ling Xiu gave them all up.

The private gathering lasted for more than two hours before the elderly man who was hosting the event announced that it was over.

As everyone gradually left, Ling Xiu prepared to depart. The old man from Wanbaoge quickly approached him and handed him a black and gold invitation.

"The Xuan Yang Wanbao Pavilion will hold another gathering at this time next year. We look forward to your attendance. Perhaps you will be able to find the treasure you desire."

Ling Xiu nodded his thanks and put the invitation away.

Wanbaoge has a rich history, and this private transaction broadened his horizons.

After leaving the underground palace, he sped back to the Ling Shan Peak of the Xuan Yang Sect.

After closing the cave's protective barrier, Ling Xiu, filled with anticipation, took out the Soul-Shaking Pearl from the Abyss and placed it into the Mysterious Gourd of Heaven and Earth.

"I wonder what level the Soul-Shaking Pearl will advance to after tempering, and what surprises it will bring me."

Ling Xiu sighed softly. He knew he didn't have enough spirit stones at the moment, so he would collect some more when he went out to collect them later.

At this moment, he was preoccupied with this precious pearl. Even though it was originally only a low-grade Xuan-rank pearl, after being tempered by the Qiankun Xuan Gourd, it could at least advance to a top-grade Xuan-rank pearl, increasing its value more than tenfold.

Ling Xiu waited expectantly all night long.

At the break of dawn, he couldn't wait to examine the pearl.

As expected, the originally smooth beads transformed into colorful jewels, dazzling and radiant.

Upon probing with divine sense, a terrifying power that chills the mind rushes towards you.

The name of the Soul-Shaking Pearl remains unchanged, but its destructive power over the soul has increased dramatically. Its ability to restrain demons and monsters is even more formidable, and its oppressive aura of annihilating the soul is so strong that even he dares not probing it for long.

Ling Xiu was overjoyed and immediately began to refine this magic weapon, which was already his third magic artifact.

While nurturing the Purple Heaven Thunder Sword and the Myriad Tribulations Black Tortoise Shield within his dantian, he also diligently cultivated the Nine Tribulations Thunder Essence Body.

The pain endured in practicing this method far exceeds the torment of refining magical artifacts.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered. If he refused to endure the hardships now, he would become someone else's prey, at the mercy of others.

The night was deep and cold, and thunderclouds surged above Lingshan Peak.

Ling Xiu stood atop the peak, summoning heavenly thunder from the nine heavens.

The rain poured down, lightning flashed, and raging thunder dragons coiled and roamed around him.

The excruciating pain of lightning tearing through flesh swept over his entire body. Streaks of lightning drilled into his body, tempering his flesh. His golden core shone brightly, and his true essence and magical power surged rapidly.
