596 Soul-gnawing beast and out of body sand

This black crystal sand was really strange. To ordinary cultivators, it was definitely a harmful substance. However, to spirit bodies, it was extremely precious.

In such a smoky environment, the growth speed of a spirit body would definitely be greatly increased. It could be called a peerless medicine!

It was no wonder that the ghost bank, which had always been haggling over every single detail, would agree to exchange hundreds of thousands of valuable contracts for such crystal sand. It was obvious that this thing was very useful to them.

This was because the beautiful employees of the ghost bank were all similar to spirits!

After the appraiser saw the smoke, he observed it carefully for a while before putting it out.

He then waved his hand at the floating gray mist, and a burning flame whizzed out, attacking the gray mist floating in the air.

This was obviously a fire-controlling skill. Under the skilled control of the appraiser, the gray smoke was completely dispersed in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, the appraiser turned around and said to Tang Zhen,”According to this old man’s judgement, this crystal sand should be called aperture sand, condensed from the sweat of a strange beast called soul-gnawing beast.

Once the meteorite sand was burned, it would not dissipate. Only by using raging flames could it be removed!

If an ordinary person breathed in one or two mouthfuls of this gray mist, they would immediately pa.s.s out. Then, their flesh and blood would wither and turn into nutrients to nourish the soul, causing the soul to continue to grow.

However, the smoke would only last for a day. After that, it would be turned into nutrients for the spirit body and would no longer have the effect of forcing the soul to leave the body.

When the body of the person who inhaled the gray fog completely withered, the soul in the body would leave the body. Because of the out-of-body sand and the nourishment of the body’s qi and blood, these special spirits had completely condensed and would not slowly dissipate with the pa.s.sage of time.

This kind of soul-gnawing beast fed on spirits and usually lived in places with dense spirits. The higher the level of the soul-gnawing beast, the better the effect of the out of body sand!

The out of body sand that you’ve taken out should be condensed from a King-tier soul-eating beast, and it’s not an ordinary King-tier!

This kind of soul-gnawing beast was a very vicious beast. Wherever it appeared, it would quickly become a land of death.

This place is filled with all kinds of spirits. They will gradually grow in the gray fog and eventually become food for the soul-gnawing beasts!”

Tang Zhen immediately came to a realization when he heard this. He recalled the gray fog near the wars.h.i.+p wreckage and the endless number of spirit monsters. It was clearly in line with the situation that the appraiser had described.

The only difference was that the soul-gnawing beast wasn’t at the king rank. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have fled in defeat in front of Tang Zhen.

There had to be some secret behind this. Otherwise, how could a soul-gnawing beast that wasn’t even King-tier condense such a high-level out of body sand?

Of course, what he was most concerned about was the value of the out of body sand.

The appraiser lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he slowly said, ” “This kind of out of body sand is very rare, and there are very few people who need it. Therefore, the price for 500 grams is 100 low-grade origin stones!”

Tang Zhen’s brows slightly furrowed after hearing the price given by the appraiser.

Although the other party’s offer wasn’t low, he still felt that it wasn’t worth it.

Back then, he had tried to use the brains to buy the recruitment contract from the ghost bank, and the other party had offered 10000 brains for one piece, so 500000 pieces would be 5 billion brain pearls!

In the end, when he handed over half of the sand to the female manager of the ghost bank for her to help him identify it, the other party took the initiative to find him not long after and expressed that she was willing to use 500000 contracts to exchange for the sand in Tang Zhen’s hands!

Tang Zhen was curious and asked about the origin of this out of body sand. However, the female supervisor didn’t tell him and only said that it was a secret of the ghost bank.

Since the other party didn’t want to say, Tang Zhen didn’t force him to ask. Moreover, he didn’t hesitate in this matter and directly used the other half of the aperture sand to carry out the transaction.

After all, no matter how precious this kind of item was, it was far less useful to him than the contract. Tang Zhen made the choice that was most beneficial to him at that time!

As for the out of body sand that Tang Zhen had collected, the total amount was only about 50 catties. He gave half of the amount to the ghost bank’s female manager, which was about 20 catties.

In other words, the exchange price that the ghost bank gave him had already reached 200 million brain beads per 500 grams!

The price given by the appraiser, after converting into brain beads, was more than double the price!

Although merchants pursued profits and were used to buying low and selling high, it was extremely normal for them to lower the purchase price. However, Tang Zhen was still unwilling to suffer such a loss.

At most, he would sell the meteorite sand to the spirit Bank. He believed that the rich and powerful spirit Bank would definitely give him a satisfactory price.

As for the void iron, Tang Zhen didn’t really want it. He just wanted to see if it was for sale and how much it was worth!

After having an idea in his heart, Tang Zhen looked at the appraiser and said,”The price you’re offering is too low. I want 200 low-grade origin stones!”

When the appraiser heard this, he glanced at the shop owner with an undetectable look and shook his head gently.

“Your price is too high. I can only give you 110 low-grade origin stones at most!”

Tang Zhen didn’t waste any more words when he heard this. With a wave of his hand, the meteorite sand and the spatial crystal wall fragment instantly disappeared and entered his storage ring.

The reason why he haggled just now was because he didn’t want to break the rules between these merchants. Since he had asked for a price, he had to haggle to show his sincerity. Otherwise, he would be treated as a joke by the other party!

He had already made up his mind to keep the out of body sand. Because of its unique effect, he felt that it would definitely be useful in the future.

After the appraiser and the shop owner by the side saw the scene of Tang Zhen collecting the items, they were all slightly stunned. There was a slight change in their eyes.

Their ten thousand treasures tower dealt with tens of thousands of resources. Naturally, they could tell that Tang Zhen had a storage equipment with a single glance. Therefore, they all glanced at the ring on his finger.

don’t worry, Sir. If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can continue to discuss.

When the shop owner saw Tang Zhen turning around to leave, he hurriedly spoke to retain him. His face was filled with a sincere smile.

“The price of 200 low-grade origin stones is really too high. Why don’t we each take a step back? 150 low-grade origin stones. We’ll take as many as we have. What do you think?”

Tang Zhen’s footsteps slightly paused. He turned around and looked at the shop owner as he said with a smile,”180 pills, I’ll sell you one Jin, how about it?”

The shop owner hesitated for a moment and nodded, ” “Deal!”

Tang Zhen smiled as he walked to the front of the shop owner. He took out a portion of the out of body sand and handed it to him. The other party then handed him a bag of low grade origin stones.

After counting the number and confirming that there were no problems, Tang Zhen turned around and left.

“Sir, don’t you want the void iron anymore?”

The shop owner hurriedly asked when he saw that Tang Zhen was about to leave. His eyes carried a trace of anxiety.

“The price of your void iron is too high. I can’t afford it. I’m sorry!”

After saying these words, Tang Zhen made a gesture of wanting to leave. However, he knew in his heart that the shop owner would definitely try to keep him.

As expected, Tang Zhen had not taken three steps when the shop owner suddenly said,”Mr. Tang, are you buying this void iron to make a storage equipment?”

As soon as he said that, everyone in the shop was stunned, especially situ Yuanzhi and the others. They recalled the storage rings that Tang Zhen had taken out and confirmed in their hearts that Tang Zhen could make storage equipment.

Tang Zhen had a smile that was not a smile as he swept his eyes over the shop owner. He did not say anything and merely quietly looked at him.

Seeing this, the shop owner immediately said, ” “If Mr. Tang can really make storage rings, I’m willing to provide you with the void iron for free and buy it back at a high price. What do you think, Mr. Tang?”

Just as everyone was looking at Tang Zhen and waiting for his answer, they saw him casually throw a storage card into the hands of the appraiser.

“Take a look at this storage card first, then we’ll talk about the price!”
