Chapter 512 Ancient Relics... "Gambling? This is not a good habit." Having said that, Zhou Qing still decided to go with Ning Rongrong to take a look. Tiandou Auction House. In addition to auctions, this auction house is also responsible for other businesses, such as: casinos, slave trading, treasure appraisal, etc. When passing the appraisal area, Tang San saw a plate crystal the size of a human head. He discovered that this thing was actually sold directly for only one thousand gold soul coins, so he bought it without hesitation. After all, this plate crystal is a natural hidden weapon - as long as it is smashed open, the impurities inside will be revealed and turned into small round beads. These round beads, wrapped in soul power, will expand and turn into needles as thin as hair. Once thrown out, even soul masters will find it difficult to see them as long as they do not have control over their mental power. They are called "dragon whisker needles." Once it enters the human body, without the support of soul power, the dragon beard needle will curl up into a ball shape again. Without special techniques, it can only be removed by digging out the flesh. If this kind of dragon beard needle is inserted into the corresponding acupuncture point, it can even block the flow of the soul power of the soul master! Even more, if the user has a thorough understanding of the acupuncture points in the human body, they can make the soul power of others go wild after being injected with the needle, so that they go crazy and explode to death!
"You have good taste." Ning Rongrong was also a little surprised to see Tang San bought the plate crystal. Admittedly, she herself didn't know what this thing was used for, but the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit was sensitive to all valuable gems, so she could also sense that the value of this plate crystal was definitely more than one thousand gold soul coins. "Fortunately." Tang San smiled and put the plate crystal into the Moon Shining on the twelfth floor - if it were in the past, he would definitely go back immediately and take out the dragon beard needle, but now, he has become much calmer and is ready to study the structure of the entire plate crystal later. After all, the dragon beard needle can be said to be a natural hidden weapon bred by plate crystal. If the process of breeding the dragon beard needle is studied, then we can find a way to mass-produce the dragon beard needle... Seeing Tang San's action as if he was afraid that she would snatch the plate crystal away, Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, but didn't pay too much attention to it. Arrived outside the gambling stone area. The three men received masks and black robes from outside the door to cover their appearance before entering. "If you reveal something valuable, it might attract the covetousness of others, so you need to conceal your identity and avoid unnecessary fights as much as possible." Ning Rongrong explained while straightening the black robe behind her. The gambling stone area is a circular venue with various strange-shaped stones placed on both sides of the circle, and various stall owners and shop owners entertain the people coming and going. Ning Rongrong was very familiar with this place, and she brought Zhou Qing and Tang San to the cylindrical building in the middle with ease. This is the Royal Gambling Stone Shop, which integrates purchasing, selling, and stone cutting functions. At this time, hundreds of stones as big as houses and as small as eggs were placed in the hall. Many guests, also wearing black robes and masks, were watching and selecting the stones they liked. "Where are these stones mined from?" Zhou Qing asked curiously. "The mainland is close to the coast in the southwest direction, around Tianming City." Ning Rongrong did not hesitate. "Isn't that in the Xingluo Empire?" Tang San was puzzled as to how this Royal Stone Gambling Shop could obtain stones from Xingluo? And Tianming City...
"Tianming City is an exception." Ning Rongrong grinned and explained to the two, "Although Tianming City is on the other side of Xingluo, it is actually a very independent city. Its city lord has been hereditary for generations, completely equating the official position with the status of aristocracy. Moreover, there is an ancient ruins abyss there, which contains a large amount of resources... My father said that 60% of the current life-type soul guides on the mainland come from there." Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other and asked Ning Rongrong, "So, the ruins should have been developed long ago, right?" "No." Ning Rongrong shook her head. "The ruins are underground. There are twelve floors in total. We have only explored the seventh floor so far. Even the fifth floor has not been fully explored." Tang San frowned: "In that case, the value of that place is very high?" This is very strange. If it is of great value and rich in resources, whether it is the Xingluo Empire, the Tiandou Empire, or the Spirit Hall, they will all try to find ways to control it, right? Zhou Qing was also confused. "Do you know how many years Tianming City has existed?" Ning Rongrong did not answer, but asked this question mysteriously. "How many years?" "At least 20,000 years! It is said that its history is as long as that of the Spirit Hall! There are also rumors that the Spirit Hall has existed for a much shorter time than it!" Suddenly, Zhou Qing's eyes fixed. Tianming City is actually a city that has existed for 20,000 years? You have to know that it has only been a few thousand years since the two empires formed their current territories. As for the history of ten thousand years ago, only some fragmentary myths remain! "So, there are quite a few Title Douluo in Tianming City?" Tang San guessed, "Even the Spirit Hall doesn't dare to act rashly?" "How can it be so easy to become a Title Douluo?" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "In terms of size, Tianming City is only at the main city level. According to records, the strength of the city lords of all generations has been between Soul Kings and Soul Saints. The reason why the two empires and the Spirit Hall did not occupy it by force is because of the ruins." "What do you mean?" Zhou Qing couldn't imagine that a mere relic could stump a Titled Douluo? Ordinary Titled Douluos couldn't do it, but a level 99 peerless one would be able to do it, right? If that doesn’t work— That place definitely possesses a power that exceeds the means of soul masters. [Power above level 100! ] Coincidentally, Zhou Qing and Tang San both thought of this possibility. Ning Rongrong was also generous in describing the general situation of the Tianming City ruins. The ruins are located underground and have a total of twelve floors. This can be seen when entering the first floor, because it is said that a twelve-story "tower" pattern is carved on a gate on the first floor. Anyone who enters it will be unable to use their soul skills. In other words, soul masters can use their martial souls, soul power, and self-created soul skills, but they cannot use the soul skills granted by soul rings. "What about soul bone skills?" Zhou Qing asked. "It can be used, but the power will be greatly reduced, and it will consume more soul power... But my father said that the rumored external soul bone does not have such a disadvantage. By the way, the external soul bone is a special soul bone besides the six major soul bones. It is said that it can evolve together with the soul master's soul power level." Ning Rongrong replied and explained the situation of the external soul bone. Tang San's eyes lit up as he realized that the right palm bone of his Swift Wind Grass was the external soul bone. However, Zhou Qing realized that the ruins were not rejecting soul bones, but rather rejecting power that was not fully controlled by the human body. Just like an external soul bone, after absorption, the internal energy circulation channels are completely connected with the human body's meridians, and it has been integrated into the human body's soul power circulation. The rest of the soul bones were simply and roughly placed in the human skeleton. So--
After the spirit ring is refined for the second time, does it count as completely becoming a part of the spirit? (End of this chapter)
