Chapter 1037: The Other Half of the Sheepskin Scroll

Upon refining the Soul-Subduing Pearl, Lin Kuang immediately felt his soul being enriched, a sensation remarkably delightful that left him quite thrilled.

“Ahem, esteemed seniors, do you have any other treasures? Show them to me, I’d love to exchange for something.”

Gazing at He Shan, Ling Yu, and Tian Lun, Lin Kuang said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, the three were slightly taken aback, then gave a bitter smile; this lad is certainly quite affluent!

However, they understood at this moment that Lin Kuang definitely had Thunder Spirit Liquid; otherwise, why would Lin Kuang be so willing?

Thinking about it, the three were not shy and displayed their treasures, although some personal treasures that could boost their combat power were withheld.

Seeing the treasures before him, Lin Kuang was certainly tempted.

“Kid, those stones He Shan has — get them for me, I need them.”

At this moment, the voice of the Town Boundary Stele’s artifact spirit echoed in Lin Kuang’s mind.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang’s heart stirred, “Alright, but senior, does it require you to supply Thunder Spirit Liquid?”

Lin Kuang asked with a grin in his mind.

Upon hearing this, the artifact spirit of the Town Boundary Stele was speechless, “Kid, do you have to be so stingy? It’s just a few drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid, and you have plenty!”

The artifact spirit of the Town Boundary Stele said irritably.

“Ahem, a few drops might not be enough.”

Lin Kuang feigned ignorance.

“Alright, I’ll give it to you, go ahead and buy!”

With some discontent, the artifact spirit of the Town Boundary Stele said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang chuckled inwardly, now that’s more like it, extort a little when possible — after all, the Town Boundary Stele absorbed most of the pool’s Thunder Spirit Liquid, far more than Lin Kuang had.

“Senior He, those two black stones of yours look quite good, shall we trade?”

Looking at He Shan, Lin Kuang asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, He Shan was slightly taken aback; these stones weren’t quite stones nor metals, he obtained them centuries ago but they never proved useful.

Unsure of their purpose, yet unable to discard them, he preserved the stones all along.

Now that Lin Kuang wanted to trade, he agreed right away, given their uselessness while Thunder Spirit Liquid proved greatly beneficial to him.

“Alright, name your price!”

Looking at Lin Kuang, He Shan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang pondered; he knew whatever the Town Boundary Stele valued must be precious, but it seemed He Shan wasn’t aware of the black stones’ worth.

“Then how about five drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid for those two stones?”

Looking at He Shan, Lin Kuang tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this, He Shan was slightly stunned, not disapproving of Lin Kuang’s offer; rather, he felt Lin Kuang was offering a lot.

“Five drops? Kid, so generous? Do you know what this is?”

He Shan asked curiously, looking at Lin Kuang.

“Ahem, truth be told, senior, I don’t know either what purpose they serve. Somehow, I acquired an unknown artifact and these black stones are useful to it.”

Lin Kuang explained, though unsure how else to say it.

Upon hearing this, He Shan nodded, “Alright, five drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid.”

With that, He Shan directly tossed the two black stones to Lin Kuang, and Lin Kuang handed He Shan five drops of black Thunder Spirit Liquid.

Looking at the black stones before him, Lin Kuang stowed them away in the Blue Sea Bracelet.

Within the Blue Sea Bracelet, the Town Boundary Stele promptly devoured the stones.

Next, Lin Kuang continued browsing, finally fixing his gaze on a piece of parchment before Ling Yu.

That parchment was open, inscribed with a map that was only half complete, clearly missing the other half.

“This parchment is actually identical to what I obtained from those bandits!”

Looking at the parchment before Ling Yu, Lin Kuang thought with surprise.

“Ahem, Senior Ling, I’m quite interested in your parchment, name your price.”

Looking at Ling Yu, Lin Kuang offered.

“Oh? You mean this parchment?”

Holding the parchment, Ling Yu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded, “Yes, precisely this parchment.”

“This is half a parchment, are you sure you want it?”

Looking at Lin Kuang, Ling Yu asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded robustly, “Yes, I want it.”

“Alright then, honestly, this parchment isn’t of much use to me; if you want it, just give me a drop of Thunder Spirit Liquid.”

After pausing a moment, Ling Yu declared.

He wasn’t taking advantage of Lin Kuang, otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked for just a drop of Thunder Spirit Liquid.

“Alright, here are two drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid, please take them.”

As he spoke, Lin Kuang waved his hand, causing two drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid to float before Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was momentarily taken aback but collected the two drops regardless; after all, he owed Lin Kuang a favor and it mattered little to receive these drops.

Thinking so, Ling Yu handed the parchment to Lin Kuang.

After receiving it, Lin Kuang stored the parchment inside his Blue Sea Bracelet.

Having done this, Lin Kuang continued his search.

Finally, Lin Kuang obtained some potent elixirs, leaving him with just a dozen drops of Thunder Spirit Liquid.

Of course, Lin Kuang did not regret it; on the contrary, he was very cheerful — he still had plenty of Thunder Spirit Liquid, and this amount was inconsequential to him at present.

Once the exchange concluded, the group sat together chatting.

After a short chat, He Shan, Ling Yu, and Tian Lun departed.

Being smart folks, they discerned Lin Kuang had things to discuss with Qiubai.

Indeed, upon seeing the others leave, Lin Kuang immediately brought out the Jade Vial filled with two-thirds of Thunder Spirit Liquid.

“Master, here’s two-thirds of the Thunder Spirit Liquid, consider it my filial respect for you.”

Placing the Jade Vial before Qiubai, Lin Kuang said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Qiubai was somewhat stunned — so much Thunder Spirit Liquid?!

He knew Lin Kuang still had Thunder Spirit Liquid, but he hadn’t imagined Lin Kuang possessed so much.

Moreover, Lin Kuang giving him all this Thunder Spirit Liquid surely indicated Lin Kuang possessed even more!

“Ahem, kid, how much Thunder Spirit Liquid did you actually obtain?”

After overcoming his shock, Qiubai couldn’t resist asking, curiosity brimming in his gaze.

“Uh, didn’t get much, only two vials in total.”

Faced with Qiubai’s curious gaze, Lin Kuang replied, somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, Qiubai’s eyes widened — two vials is little? This kid, indeed insatiable!

“You rascal, obtaining such a substantial amount of Thunder Spirit Liquid is truly extraordinary. This Thunder Spirit Liquid isn’t particularly useful for me, half shall suffice.”

Looking at the vial, Qiubai said with a smile.

“Oh, please don’t, Master — keep it all, I still have more; when I run out, I’ll ask you for some.”

Looking at Qiubai, Lin Kuang hurriedly replied.
