Chapter 81 The Appearance of a Mid-Rank God
After waiting for a while, some people discovered that even the lower god who offered the highest price had not completed the transaction for the Soul Gold Bead. Some of the lower gods who had initially given up started to have new ideas.
After all, a single Soul Gold Bead is worth at least 100,000 Ink Stones, and if it's less, then these lower-level gods who made the offer can earn more.
Once a mid-level god reaches that level, a powerful individual who can afford to use a Soul Golden Pearl will certainly not be of low status.
a long time.
"Lord Kalis has arrived."
Someone shouted, and some long-time residents of the Blood Tiger Tribe quickly made way. A man at least 2.5 meters tall, shirtless, with long, flowing golden hair, appeared bold and imposing.
Karl also knew this person, Kalis, a mid-level wind god. It was rumored that this powerful figure had comprehended at least six profound mysteries, which was already considered top-tier among mid-level gods.
"Where did you get the Soul Gold Bead?" Kalis ignored the others and instead held the Soul Gold Bead from the stall in front of Karl in his hand, asking casually.
Upon hearing Kalis's question, Kalis immediately understood the meaning of this middle god.
Karl quickly replied, "This is a treasure I obtained in the tomb of the gods; it is said to have great effects on the soul."
Seeing that Kalis didn't react much, he added, "The Graveyard of the Gods is a small plane opened up by King Beirut of the Yulan Continent. It contains not only various deities and artifacts, but also, it is said, the main artifact."
"Main artifact!!"
Upon hearing of the existence of the main divine artifact, even the lower-level gods around couldn't help but feel envious. That was a main divine artifact; whoever possessed one could stand at the very top of the gods.
"Kid, if you want to lie, you should at least say something believable. Even powerful figures at the level of a palace lord don't all possess a supreme artifact like a main artifact. Moreover, main artifacts are bestowed by the main god, and they are taken back by the gods after the owner dies. Even if a main artifact exists in the material plane, the gods will send someone to the material plane to retrieve it," Kalis said with a disdainful look.
"My lord, why would I lie to you about this? In fact, before I left the Yulan plane, someone destroyed the dimensional prison, causing all the god-level powerhouses inside to escape. The four kings in that dimensional prison were all high-level gods. As soon as they came out, they began to forcibly recruit us god-level powerhouses. I had no choice but to leave the material plane."
Seeing that the people around him still didn't quite believe him, Karl sighed inwardly, paused, and said, "It was right for me to leave the material plane. Since I have one divine avatar that has been following Lord Beirut, I only had two other divine avatars come to Hell for refuge. Not long ago, the Graveyard of the Gods opened again in less than a thousand years, and it is said that the strongest king, Lord Qinghuo, went in alone."
"As far as I know, Lord Beirut, whom I follow, is called an invincible high god by those high gods. That Azure Flame King is also extremely powerful, and is said to be a high god at the Great Perfection. However, I have been in Hell for so long and have never heard of what the Great Perfection is," Karl said quietly.
"Perfect World?"
The expressions of several knowledgeable god-level experts around them immediately changed, including Kalis and Clay.
"You mean there's a high-ranking god in your hometown? And your leader even opened the Tomb of the Gods for him?" Kalis asked hurriedly.
"Yes, Lord Kalis. When I was in the material plane, I sided with Lord Beirut, which meant that even if I wanted to leave the material plane, I couldn't take that divine avatar with me. That's why I know what happened in the material plane after I left."
"So this Soul Pearl of yours was taken from that tomb of the gods you mentioned."
At this point, Kalis no longer dared to have any thoughts of forcibly seizing the Soul Golden Pearl. He was just a mid-level god. Although it was rumored that he had comprehended six profound mysteries, he had actually comprehended seven. But even so, he was still just a mid-level god.
A Great Perfection expert is the strongest being who truly stands below the main god. The fact that such an existence exists in a material plane is something that Kalis could quickly deduce the truth of.
Since the Graveyard of the Gods is rumored to possess a main artifact, and a Great Perfection expert is not preparing to kill Beirut, whom Karl mentioned, but instead going to the Graveyard of the Gods to retrieve another main artifact, it is likely that the person Karl is following in the material plane may also be a Great Perfection expert.
"Whether it is or not, I'll find out by asking around."
Thinking of this, Kalis said calmly, "In the Bauhinia Castle in Beihai City, the price of a Soul Gold Pearl is 100,000 Ink Stones. I won't be greedy for your small advantage, so let's settle on 100,000 Ink Stones."
One hundred thousand inkstones is already a considerable sum. After Kalis finished speaking, without waiting for Karl's reply, he took out one hundred small stone tablets from his spatial ring.
"This is Azure Stone. One Azure Stone is worth a thousand Ink Stones. Once you reach the mid-level God level, you'll basically start using this as the main form of transaction when you go to Beihai City. Otherwise, you could pile up a small mountain with hundreds of millions of Ink Stones," Kalis explained casually.
After dropping off one hundred Azure Stones and taking the Soul Golden Bead, Kalis disappeared without a trace. However, everyone present knew that this mid-level god had left.
"Gentlemen, who called Lord Kalis to come here?"
After the lower-ranking gods gathered around again, Clay stood up from the stall, his expression unchanged, but everyone knew that Clay was very unhappy.
After all, these lower-level gods can serve as subordinates of mid-level gods. Even if they are just bidding on behalf of mid-level gods, such as the lower-level god who previously bid as high as 99,500 inkstones, he was the eyes and ears of a mid-level god on the trading day.
If I can get 99,500 inkstones after the offer, I can make 500 inkstones in profit.
After all, a mid-level god who can afford to cultivate with a soul gold bead must be quite wealthy. If he were to embezzle even five hundred magic stones, how would the lower-level gods help him, and what would the other mid-level gods think of him?
"Brother Clay, stop talking, stop talking. I didn't expect Lord Kalis to come in person."
The speaker was a blue-haired man wearing a light blue robe. Clearly, he was only a divine avatar, and a wind-elemental one at that.
In the Blood Tiger tribe, such lower-level gods are rare; not just anyone can become the eye of a mid-level god.
The reason they do this is often simply because they want to see if they can get guidance from a mid-level god.
Even the weakest mid-level god has comprehended two profound mysteries. Moreover, after their godhood advances, their souls will undergo further transformation, gaining even more insights into the profound mysteries they have already mastered.
Just like Newt's older brother White, when he went to Northsea to buy mid-level deities, he wanted to choose the very strong ones, and Newt might have been involved in helping him in the process.
After all, having a mid-level god as an older brother gives Newt a certain background, so when mid-level gods guide each other's juniors, he might have a chance to follow along.
After the transaction was completed, Karl did not leave, but stayed nearby to observe.
The surrounding lower-level gods all knew that Karl now had 100,000 inkstones, which made him a big customer to them. A little spending from him could keep them busy for a long time.
However, most of the things these lower-level gods can offer are lower-level artifacts, or some relatively hard metals or ores. These are also cheap, and by weight, it often takes several hundred kilograms or even more than a ton to make up a single piece of inkstone.
Only those lower-ranking gods who are slightly wealthier will occasionally be seen possessing some valuable items.
For example, amethyst.
After all, this is the Purple Thorn Continent, the origin of amethyst, and the circulation of amethyst is quite large. However, this is only for those mid-level gods. As for lower-level gods, it is already quite remarkable that they can obtain one or two pieces of amethyst.
"How much is this amethyst?" Karl walked up to a stall and saw an amethyst on display. However, the amethyst looked very small, as if it had been refined quite a bit.
"Three thousand inkstones, no haggling please." The stall owner was a purple-haired woman. She only opened half of her eyes when she heard Karl's question, and then closed them again after speaking.
"Three thousand inkstones, did you refine most of them yourself?" Karl looked at the amethyst that had shrunk considerably in his hand, shook his head, put the amethyst down, and then wandered around again.
Karl also possessed amethyst, but only four in number. He bought them from the shop after becoming a god to try refining them, but the effect was minimal, with almost 80-90% being wasted. Karl only attempted to refine them for three days before decisively abandoning the method of using amethyst to enhance his soul.
After all, the system shop will also be upgraded after he becomes a god. During the lower god stage, he can not only buy things like space rings and lower-level artifacts, but also amethyst and soul gold beads. However, compared to the unlimited supply of lower-level artifacts, he can only buy one soul gold bead every ten years and one amethyst every year.
The one Karl just sold was the second one he bought; as for the first one, he's still refining it himself.
To refine a single amethyst crystal, given Karl's current refining speed, it would take at least several hundred to a thousand years, and that doesn't even include the time wasted. As for absorbing the Soul Golden Bead, Karl estimates it would take more than twenty years to fully absorb it.
This is why Karl was willing to sell the Soul Orb.
As for accumulating wealth, after becoming a god, one doesn't actually need to eat. Even if one does eat, it's often just because one is craving something. The real significance of selling Soul Gold Pearls lies with the higher-ups of the Blood Tiger Tribe.
Lower-level gods generally possess only a few thousand inkstones, while only those with extraordinary encounters can accumulate wealth exceeding ten thousand.
Like Newt's older brother White, who has accumulated wealth over thousands of years, besides raising red tigers, he must have had his own extraordinary encounters. Otherwise, how would he have gone to Northsea City to buy those high-level mid-level deities?
There are many, many lower-level gods in hell, so their items are very cheap.
Karl wandered around the market for a while and discovered that the market was also divided into factions.
In places like Dongjiao, it's clear that the main players are veteran lower-level gods like Clay, and they mainly sell cultivation resources.
For example, you might see lower-level artifacts, hard ores, and occasionally some broken amethyst or damaged mid-level artifacts.
Meanwhile, Karl had arrived in the south, where the goods sold were mainly daily necessities.
Some beverages from the material plane, craft wines from the Blood Tiger Tribe, and some delicious food, etc.
Karl had money in hand, so he wasn't stingy. In addition to buying a jar of Blood Tiger Wine, he also bought some fine wines and delicacies from the material plane. All of these purchases added up to less than four Inkstones.
"Hey bro, do you want to buy some more? Otherwise I won't be able to calculate the price."
"This is a delicacy from the Four Seas Realm, a Saint-level fish, the Thousand-Striped Knife Fish." It melts in your mouth; whether eaten raw or cooked, it's a first-rate enjoyment.
Under the persuasive salesmanship of the lower-level god, Karl managed to gather some more items, many of which came from the same material plane, the "Four Seas Plane." Through casual inquiry, Karl learned that the Four Seas Plane was a plane dominated by the ocean, where people primarily lived on islands.
The reason it's called the Four Seas is simply because there's a continent that divides the ocean, called the Red Earth Continent.
Below the Red Line, there is a place called the Grand Line, which starts at Mount Sumeru and extends all the way to the Holy Mountain where the Four Seas Royals reside. After passing the Holy Mountain, it is named the New World. The Grand Line, together with the New World and the Red Line, divides the entire ocean into four parts, which is the origin of the Four Seas Dimension.
Karl felt a strange sense of familiarity when he heard about this world, but after being denied that it was mainly about pirates, Karl didn't have any further questions.
After buying some fine wine and food, Carl prepared to head home.
To leave the market, you need to pass through a castle.
This is where those mid-level gods reside. Karl only glanced at it from afar and sensed that there were only a few auras that he could detect. The others were all mid-level gods, and Karl could not sense their auras.
He left quietly and returned to his residence a few moments later.
He was already quite familiar with the Blood Tiger Tribe, and this time, by selling Soul Gold Pearls, he might befriend a mid-level god.
This was not Karl's delusion; after years of cultivation, Karl had long understood a principle.
If someone is weak but could one day reach the same level as you, you would choose to befriend them. If you were to become enemies, you would need to take swift and decisive action.
Karl was, after all, a resident of the Blood Tiger Tribe. In this situation, for the other mid-level gods, the fact that he had a background that seemed to be that of a Great Perfection expert was enough for them to choose to befriend him.
After all, making friends doesn't require any sacrifice; on the contrary, you might gain some knowledge about cultivation.
Just like the frequent occurrence of mid-level gods killing high-level gods in hell, how they did it remains an extremely difficult secret to the Blood Tiger tribe.
