Chapter 424: Great Sword Enhancement (3k) (Supplementary Update)

"Tao Baibai, this 【Void Core】 is truly an extraordinary item. The 【Visionary】's ability is indeed miraculous, but it only slightly exceeds the value of this Void Core; it is not worth me throwing in another magical Silver Plot Equipment~"

Youlie's purple robe had a very low neckline, and her expression and tone were quite seductive, but Bai Cangshu was not tempted; he simply took the Scarlet Drop Card of the 【Visionary】 from the stall and tossed it lightly, playing with it.

"Since it is so precious, I think it is better to wait for others to trade."

This woman possessed some kind of causality-related ability, and for the sake of the Visionary's Cognitive Demon, she had prepared two precious items early on.

Moreover, she had deliberately chosen a soul-side ability domain that he had not exposed to others.

Even Black Butler would only look for items within the martial arts-side ability and item categories, which gave her a huge competitive advantage.

Conversely, having gone to such lengths to achieve this trade, how could she possibly give up?

Bai Cangshu wore a faint smile, seeing the greed in the woman's heart in its entirety.

Youlie pulled her collar together; she realized how difficult Tao Baibai was to deal with, and seeing those women from the West District now gathered around the Information Broker Black Butler, constantly discussing various offers, they were actively seeking a trade.

She was well aware of the strength of that 【Song】 Gathering; having paid a huge price to come across districts to trade, even if the goal was a Demi-human Bloodline Item, it was hard to say whether they would consider bidding once they realized the value of the other items here at Tao Baibai's.

Her mind turned quickly, and she made her decision quite decisively; just as Hongchen was about to speak to trade, she had already smiled and made a concession.

"Mr. Tao Baibai is a bit hard to tease. These two items of mine were sought out specifically for you, so how could I waste this trade?"

"Mr. Tao Baibai, besides this Drop Card, if you pay another B-rank Singularity, I think that would be a suitable price..."

"In return, I can tell you a piece of news, news on how to maximize the utility of this 【Void Core】, how about that?"

Bai Cangshu pondered for a moment and agreed to the trade.

These people did not know that before the 【Visionary】 was killed, he had already lost the extraordinary power of the Visionary Sequence due to the Altar of the Gods; now, only the 【Cognitive Demon】 power remained, and the value of the Drop Card was somewhat diminished.

At the same time, the 【Shizi He Yuan's Knuckle Dusters】 were naturally not as unbearable as Bai Cangshu had deliberately claimed; that so-called side effect of consuming soul energy was hardly a cost at all for Bai Cangshu.

In his sea of consciousness, there were not many souls with powerful combat capabilities at the moment, but there were hundreds of thousands of Spirit Bodies that could be used as batteries!

And that other 【Void Core】 gave Bai Cangshu even greater possibilities.

Bai Cangshu was a person willing to pay any price for power; he had no obsession with bloodline purity, nor did he believe that power had a distinction between good and evil.

To become stronger, even if it were true 【Voidification】, he would be willing to accept it, as long as he believed he could overcome that erosion...

Bai Cangshu raised his hand to meet Youlie's.

【You have lost B-rank Singularity *1】

【You have lost Scarlet Drop Card *1】

【You have obtained Item: Shizi He Yuan's Knuckle Dusters】

【You have obtained Item: Void Core】

【av17555631 (Youlie) sent a message: In the Throne of Reality and Illusion, there are people who possess channels for Fullbring and Voidification; you can go to Stall A-04 to try your luck】

The woman pinched the Visionary's Scarlet Drop Card, and after telling Bai Cangshu the news via spatial communication, she still waved goodbye with a squinting smile.

The Phase Hound followed behind the woman without a word; ever since this woman appeared, his gaze had not landed on Bai Cangshu once.

Bai Cangshu completed the trade, examining the two newly acquired items while waiting for Hongchen to speak.

"Tao Baibai, do you want these two secret manuals or not?"

Hongchen was also a bit anxious now, seeing Tao Baibai quickly complete trades with both parties.

He did not want that Demi-human Bloodline Item, and he did not think he could compete with those women who had come across districts.

The other party must have come carrying a large amount of resources.

Bai Cangshu looked at the 【Cloud-Shattering Palm】 and 【Three-Point Divine Finger】 manuals in Hongchen's hands, showing no particular urgency.

To be honest, he had learned these martial arts mainly for the Three-Point Divine Finger's ability to control energy, and after the Super Limit Spiral awakened and was strengthened to the second tier, this need had decreased significantly.

He was currently not lacking the technique of Three-Point Origin Qi.

Hongchen also saw Bai Cangshu's intention; he had thought that since Luo Xi had previously given Tao Baibai the Wind God Leg and Heaven Frost Fist, the remaining two manuals should be sellable at a premium, but he had not expected Tao Baibai to have already lost interest.

To make an offer now would surely result in being pushed to a very low price.

He calmed down, stopped making offers, and instead looked for things useful to himself at Bai Cangshu's stall.

"This 【Dust Release】..."

"Not for trade."

Bai Cangshu refused directly; the 【Dust Release Practice Scroll】 had higher liquidity than the Cloud-Shattering Palm and Three-Point Origin Qi.

Abilities from such high-martial worlds either lacked sufficient destructive power or had a very high barrier to entry, making them difficult for newcomers to obtain; the number of users in the current dimensional space was far smaller than those of Chakra.

"Then this 【Bloodline Item: Berserker (Improved, Tier 2)】..."

Bai Cangshu frowned; the value of a bloodline item was quite high, and this item had been opened from that 【Black Knight】 Drop Card; the bloodline, having been improved and upgraded, could trigger a secondary Madness Enhancement based on its performance during combat.

Its explosive power in frontal combat was quite outstanding.

"Not enough."

Among items of the same grade, the price of a bloodline item is always higher than other items because the enhancement gained from a bloodline item is immediate.

After successfully strengthening a bloodline, one would immediately gain a significant attribute boost, accompanied by some special abilities and Tese.

Hongchen knew this too; he hesitated for a moment before taking out another item.

【Bodhi Leaf *1】

【Quality: Rare and Peerless】

【Description: Legend says it is a Bodhi leaf grown at the place where Bodhidharma passed away; it possesses the effect of enlightening worldly principles and mastering martial arts】

【Effect 1: When held in the mouth, the speed of improvement for martial arts-type Specialties and abilities increases by 100% during practice】

【Effect 2: After being completely digested, it will directly increase the level of a practiced ability or Specialty by one】

Bai Cangshu's eyes lit up.

"You actually have such a good thing."

In Bai Cangshu's view, the value of this item was far above the Cloud-Shattering Palm and Three-Point Origin Qi.

Bai Cangshu still had an 【Imperial World-Shocking Art】 in his Backpack that he had been unable to comprehend any abilities from until now.

Furthermore, after Bai Cangshu's martial arts specialization reached the high-level of lv7, improving it became extremely difficult; for instance, Li Qingzi's sword arts specialization level was only raised to lv9 by consuming a massive amount of her Dimension Points and Singularities in the Training Institute.

With this thing, the improvement of martial arts specialization could also be twice as fast.

"If you still have this thing, we can make other trades; if you want this Dust Release..."

Hongchen hurriedly waved his hand; if he hadn't wanted to rebuild a team of his own, he wouldn't even have taken out this single Bodhi Leaf.

The 【Chaos Sage】 had already been wiped out, and the key that could stably enter the 【Wind and Cloud World】 had also been lost; from now on, even if one wanted to find this thing, it would be extremely difficult.

He had only kept two leaves in total, and giving one out to exchange for a Bloodline Item with considerable survival and combat capabilities was already his limit.

However, fortunately, with this Bloodline Item, it would not be difficult to cultivate another 【Black Knight】.

Moreover, he was confident that the person he chose would absolutely not be as trashy as the previous 【Black Knight】.

The two quickly completed the trade.

Seeing that Echo and Black Butler were still calculating, he knew they could not convert that S-rank Singularity into an item or ability of equivalent value to the Demi-human Bloodline Item within such a short time.

He was not in a hurry; the Demi-human Bloodline Item belonged to the top-tier category of items that attracted attention, and as long as it was placed on his Stall for a day, there would be a steady stream of Information Brokers and teams coming to give him quotes.

Bai Cangshu patted Li Qingzi's head, then playfully placed his head next to her ear and whispered,

"I wasn't killed; are you a little... disappointed?"

Li Qingzi didn't say a word; disappointment was naturally there, but at the same time, there was also an indescribable sense of relief.

A madman like Bai Cangshu was naturally terrifying as an enemy, but when on the same side as her, he provided an indescribable "sense of security."

No matter how dangerous that Xu Zhiyu of the Yixin Society was, because she had brought Bai Cangshu back to Korea, she felt much more at ease.

Bai Cangshu pinched the woman's fair chin and kneaded it twice, wishing to see granular bumps begin to appear on her delicate skin.

"Heh, your reaction is still so interesting..."

Li Qingzi gritted her teeth, a desire for power igniting in her heart once again.

Bai Cangshu, like a Demon who could see through the human heart, spoke at exactly this moment.

"Go on, I allow you to spend... hmm, one B-rank Singularity, how about that?"

Li Qingzi knew that the Singularities and Dimension Points she had forced those people to hand over before they died at b711 had all been seen by him without reservation; a slave had no possibility of keeping their own resources.

But this time, she did not remain silent or resist; instead, she nodded submissively.

"Hmm, one B-rank Singularity is enough..."

Before her last world, she had already set her sights on a similarly dangerous enhancement!

Having experienced the failure of the assassination of Tang Sanzang in league with the inner demon at b711, and now being reminded by Bai Cangshu of her lowliness as a slave, her thirst for power exceeded the self-esteem of the so-called eldest daughter of the March Conglomerate.

"Very good, you please me more and more, ha~"

Bai Cangshu looked at Li Qingzi with satisfaction, as if watching a red apple gradually ripening under his care.

He let go and laughed softly in the woman's ear, saying,

"You must become a bit stronger, woman."

"The weak, after all, will be abandoned..."

Li Qingzi did not answer, but after Bai Cangshu left, she quickly found stall b-33.

The stall owner was a woman carrying a silver-white Claymore; her long black hair curled down, and the woman also recognized this Reincarnator wearing a half-mask.

"It's you; it seems you already have the confidence to control Demon Power."

"I hope you won't degenerate into an 【Awakened Being】 in the real world; that would cause quite a bit of trouble."
