Chapter 25: Soul Locking

Beep!

"Linjiang network connected!"

The identity device suddenly issued a prompt!

Jiang Jian opened the identity device and pulled up the screen.

"On the Whale Ray Ship."

"Actually able to connect to the Linjiang Prefecture trading network."

Jiang Jian raised his eyebrows.

The Anhezhou network had already connected automatically.

Even the higher-level Linjiang Prefecture network.

A few seconds ago, it had already connected successfully!

"There are so many things on the Linjiang Prefecture trading platform..."

Jiang Jian browsed the vast Linjiang network, his gaze brightening slightly.

The Linjiang network was divided into five sections.

The first section was the Prefecture Government Forum.

The forum was an official platform of the Linjiang Prefecture Government, built with top-tier servers.

It could accommodate 100 million citizens to discuss and speak freely at the same time.

The second major section was the most important trading platform.

The Linjiang Prefecture trading platform allowed buying, selling.

It could even barter.

All-encompassing, everything you could expect to find.

"Talent light orb..."

Jiang Jian found the talent trading section and clicked into it.

"There are actually so many!"

On the platform section, countless talent light orbs were listed for sale!

As long as you had Alliance coins, you could buy the talent you liked!

"Only."

"The highest talent among them is only Level 3."

"Level 4 talent doesn't seem to be allowed for sale."

Jiang Jian slid the screen and selected Level 3 talent in the filter conditions.

"Level 3 light orb, Art, Flying Return Art, selling price 1,600,000 Alliance coins."

"Flying Return Art, use Spirit Qi to control weapons, or Spirit Qi to manifest sharp blades, killing enemies from a thousand meters away, comes with a supporting cultivation method."

"Level 3 light orb, Art, Soul Locking Curse, selling price 1,800,000 Alliance coins."

"Soul Locking Curse, mental attack technique, casting this technique attacks the opponent's soul, causing mental confusion at best, and brain death at worst, comes with a supporting cultivation method."

"Level 3 light orb, Martial, Thunder Tempering Body, selling price 2,300,000 Alliance coins."

"Thunder Tempering Body, specializes in cultivating the physique, when cultivated to the deep level, there is thunder exploding between fists and feet, extremely fierce, comes with a supporting cultivation method."

"Level 3 light orb, Body, Nine Cows and Two Tigers, selling price 1,200,000 Alliance coins."

"Nine Cows and Two Tigers, passive talent, increases physical strength."

"Level 3 light orb, Body, Thick Skin and Flesh, selling price 1,100,000 Alliance coins."

"Thick Skin and Flesh, passive talent, increases physical strength."

"Level 3 light orb, Mind, Sharp Ears and Bright Eyes, selling price 1,300,000 Alliance coins."

"Sharp Ears and Bright Eyes, passive talent, improves vision and hearing."

Jiang Jian browsed the dense talent list on the screen.

For the first time, he felt.

The importance of obtaining a Level 3 talent at the God-Given Ceremony. 【25

The cheapest "Body" and "Heart" talents.

Both are passive talents.

They don't even have matching cultivation methods.

However, as long as the talent light orb is Level 3.

Its price will absolutely not be lower than 1 million Alliance Credits.

On the sofa nearby.

Song Ling and Du Fang were browsing the Linjiang network, also looking shocked.

"The Linjiang Prefecture trading platform actually sells even Whale-Ray Crafts!"

Du Fang pointed at his identification device, his mouth wide open.

Song Ling came back to her senses and turned her head to look.

Du Fang said in horror, "A Whale-Ray Craft, manufactured by Linjiang Academy, sells for 7.8 million Alliance Credits!"

"Making a fuss over nothing."

Song Ling shook her head.

Jiang Jian picked up his water cup, took a sip, and said, "I'm more curious about something else."

Song Ling turned her head: "Jiang Jian, what did you discover?"

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "There are actually so many people who, after obtaining a Level 3 talent,"

"don't cultivate it themselves."

"Instead, they strip it off and sell it."

Hearing this.

Du Fang clicked his tongue: "To each their own; this is normal."

"What's more, a Level 3 talent is a sky-high price of over a million Alliance Credits!"

"With so much money, who knows when you'd finish spending it!"

Song Ling sneered: "One million Alliance Credits doesn't last long."

"I heard that at God-Gift University, the annual extra resource fee is over 100,000 Alliance Credits!"

"If you don't spend this money,"

"and only take the school's subsidized resources,"

"of course you can still cultivate."

Song Ling's face wore a mocking expression, "It's just that your cultivation progress, tsk tsk, would have long been left eight hundred miles behind by others."

Jiang Jian shook his head and fell silent.

What he was thinking about was something else.

That ice-blue flame deep within his soul origin.

It must not be exposed.

Although he didn't know what level that thing was.

But from it.

A wisp of flame separated.

The Purifying Spirit True Fire.

Had already reached the level of a Level 3 God-Gift.

"If my soul becomes strong,"

"I should be able to gradually urge more ice-blue flames."

Jiang Jian stopped his train of thought.

He looked down at his fingers.

As his thoughts stirred.

Wisps of blood-red flames curled up.

Dancing joyfully around his palm.

The Purifying Spirit True Fire appeared scarlet.

As soon as it appeared, it made the air sizzle and distort.

"Jiang Jian!"

Du Fang's body trembled, his pupils shrinking rapidly, "Put it away quickly!"

Jiang Jian smiled, flicked his fingers, and extinguished the Purifying Spirit True Fire.

Du Fang sat further away, fear lingering in his eyes: "That thing is a bit scary."

Song Ling teased: "Isn't your Myriad Phenomena Sword Art very powerful?"

Du Fang squeezed out a smile: "The three of us haven't started cultivating yet and can only rely on the power of the talent itself."

"My Myriad Phenomena Sword Qi has offense but no defense."

"Jiang Jian's Purifying Spirit True Fire, however, has both offense and defense."

"I can't beat him."

"This is the advantage of an Art."

Song Ling didn't refute him this time.

Instead, she nodded.

"Art, the reason it ranks at the top of the six talents,"

"is because the vast majority of Arts,"

"can both attack and defend."

"Martial, however, is mostly specialized in offense."

"In terms of defense, it can only rely on a second talent as a supplement."

"It is naturally weaker than 'Art'."

"As for the other four talents..."

Thinking of her own talent, Song Ling sighed.

"Will, Weapon, in a small number of cases, will appear as offensive talents."

"Body, Heart, 99 percent are passive talents."

"They don't even have matching cultivation methods."

Hearing this.

Du Fang looked curious and asked: "What exactly is your Soul Healing talent?"

Song Ling glanced at him and said: "Consumes Qi to restore injuries, and has various other buffs."

"But the most ridiculous thing is..."

Song Ling's expression was complex, "Soul Healing only has spell-casting methods and no matching cultivation method."

"If I want to cultivate, there are only two ways."

"First, use the most basic cultivation method that everyone has after the God-Gift ceremony, which is the slowest."

"Second, buy a talent light orb that comes with a cultivation method and place it in the Shenque acupoint as a second talent."

She pointed to her identification device.

"Talent light orbs are expensive as hell."

"A Level 2 talent with a cultivation method costs 500,000 Alliance Credits."

"Even a Level 1 Art, with a matching cultivation method, starts at 100,000 Alliance Credits."
