Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Su Yuan's words sounded like a boast.
A single Blood煞 Corpse was already extremely rare.
But he had three, and he still acted so nonchalant.
Just then, a large group of people arrived on the street.
The conflict between Su Yuan and Xue Wuji, after being spread by some nosy people, quickly attracted a large wave of people to watch the show.
The news spread like wildfire through the marketplace.
People discussed the stall owner who dared to challenge the third son of the Blood Demon Peak, Xue Wuji.
"Did you hear? The guy running the stall is going head-to-head with Xue Wuji."
"Xue Wuji? You mean the third son of the Blood Demon Peak, Xue Wuji? This is huge!"
"Yeah, I don't know what kind of background this stall owner has, but he has some guts to dare to provoke the Blood Demon Peak."
With the word of mouth, Su Yuan's stall became famous.
Many inner disciples were also attracted and wanted to see what was going on.
They came to the stall, but they found that Xue Wuji had already left, which made those who wanted to watch the show a little disappointed.
However, when they saw the numerous good things on Su Yuan's stall, their disappointment immediately vanished.
The few dilapidated Half-Step Foundation Establishment Blood煞 Corpses emitted a powerful aura, making people feel awe.
In addition, the other levels of Blood煞 Corpses on the stall made some disciples' eyes light up.
"This stall owner is not simple, he actually has so many good things." An inner disciple whispered.
"Yeah, it seems like we came at the right time." Another inner disciple echoed.
Soon, these items were snapped up.
Su Yuan made a fortune because of it.
He did a simple calculation.
15 Qi Condensation Stage Blood煞 Corpses, an average of 450 spirit stones each, sold for 6750 low-grade spirit stones.
8 Qi Condensation Mid-Stage ones sold for 11640 spirit stones.
4 Qi Condensation Late-Stage ones sold for 15000 spirit stones.
2 rare, dilapidated Half-Step Foundation Establishment Blood煞 Corpses sold for 18000 spirit stones.
Su Yuan sold a total of 51390 spirit stones.
Such a huge sum of money naturally needed to be spent properly.
Su Yuan went to a shop called Ming Hun Zhai.
Upon entering the store, an ancient and eerie aura washed over him.
The interior of the hall was filled with mysterious colors.
There were paintings hanging on the walls, with people and animals inside that seemed to have souls, extremely lifelike.
A thin, old man stood quietly behind the counter, and seeing Su Yuan come in, he nodded slightly and greeted him, "What would the guest like to buy?"
The old man's voice was hoarse and deep.
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any methods to enhance one's own soul by absorbing the souls of others?"
The old man nodded slightly and said, "We do.
This kind of evil art is rare in the outside world, but in a demonic sect like the Nine Nether Sect, it is naturally available.
However, the guest should think carefully, this evil art, while it can quickly improve one's strength, also carries great risks.
If used improperly, it can backfire, or even lead to the loss of one's mind."
Su Yuan nodded, "I've thought about it."
The old man was right, absorbing other people's souls was easy to backfire.
But this risk was almost zero for Su Yuan.
Because Su Yuan had a special immortal artifact, the Myriad Soul Banner.
Once pulled into the Myriad Soul Banner by the soul-binding chains, it was no longer possible to harm Su Yuan.
They couldn't even self-destruct their souls.
Let alone backfire.
With just a thought, Su Yuan could erase the consciousness of these souls.
Making them completely into pure, unknowing spirit bodies.
Seeing this, the old man said no more, took out a jade slip that recorded the secret art, and slowly said, "This evil art is called the Devouring Soul Technique.
Through a special method, you can devour the souls of others and transform them into your own soul power.
However, during the devouring process, you need to carefully control the balance of soul power, otherwise you are easily backfired by the powerful soul.
Moreover, using this evil art will attract the disgust and vigilance of righteous cultivators.
It may cause unnecessary trouble for yourself."
"No problem, how many spirit stones?"
"8000 low-grade spirit stones."
Su Yuan nodded, thinking it wasn't expensive.
He continued, "I also want a spell that can plant a soul imprint in someone else's soul, so that I can control their life and death with a single thought."
The old man turned around and took a jade slip from the shelf behind him, saying, "This is the Yu Hun Ming Yin Fa, which fits your needs perfectly.
Once the imprint is successfully planted.
The caster can control the life of the person marked to a certain extent.
This control is not simply manipulating body movements.
It can go deep into the soul level, affecting the marked person's thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Even the person being controlled doesn't know.
At the same time, the caster can perceive the marked person's state and surrounding environment, as if they have gained another pair of eyes and ears.
In crucial moments, the caster can activate the power of the imprint through the Controlling Soul Life Imprint Technique, issue specific commands to the marked person, and have them carry out various tasks."
After listening to the old man's introduction, Su Yuan was very excited.
This is exactly what he wanted.
With this spell, he could do many things secretly and without anyone knowing.
Su Yuan said, "How many spirit stones in total?"
"These two secret arts are 20,000 low-grade spirit stones in total."
After paying, Su Yuan went to the room at the back of the hall.
The secret room was dark and quiet, with a few candles flickering.
He sat cross-legged, first taking out the Devouring Soul Technique jade slip, and slowly injected spiritual energy into it, and the obscure methods poured into his mind in segments.
Su Yuan concentrated and carefully understood the art of absorbing souls within.
Once the Devouring Soul Technique was completely mastered.
He then picked up the Controlling Soul Life Imprint Technique jade slip, injected spiritual energy into it, and comprehended the art of soul imprints.
Not long after, after completely learning both spells, Su Yuan left.
But there were still many things he wanted to buy.
Then he went to a luxurious building called Bao Guang Ge.
This Treasure Light Pavilion is also a very famous place in the marketplace.
It specializes in selling all kinds of strange treasures and secret arts.
Su Yuan walked into the Treasure Light Pavilion, the interior was elegant and grand, and the shelves were filled with dazzling treasures.
He walked directly to the counter and said to the clerk, "I want to see if you have any puppetry techniques."
The clerk was slightly stunned, then warmly said, "Guest, you have good taste.
We Treasure Light Pavilion do have a few puppetry secret arts.
However, these puppetry techniques are not cheap."
Su Yuan nodded and said, "No problem, show me what you have."
The clerk turned around and took out a few ancient books from the cabinet and placed them on the counter.
"Guest, these are all puppetry secret arts, you can take a look."
Su Yuan picked up a secret art and flipped through it, which recorded various exquisite methods of making and controlling puppets.
After looking for a while, Su Yuan put down these books and shook his head, "Do you have anything better?"
The puppet Su Yuan wanted to refine was that Foundation Establishment Stage Blood煞 Corpse King.
These ordinary puppet refining techniques could at most refine puppets of the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage.
It would be a waste to use them to refine a Foundation Establishment Stage puppet.
The clerk smiled and said, "Guest, this puppetry secret art is a second-order mid-grade secret art, the price is eight thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Our store does have third-order puppetry techniques, but the price..."
These guys were all judging people by their clothes.
Su Yuan was dressed in plain clothes and looked like an outer disciple, so the clerk didn't think he could afford any spirit stones.
Su Yuan understood what the other person meant.
Then he took out a large bag of spirit stones.
The crisp sound of the dense spirit stones colliding with each other immediately made the clerk's eyes light up.
Then he bowed and smiled, "Honored guest, please go upstairs."
