 Chapter 3205: Three Ancestors, Haven't You Tried to Make It Accept You as Master?

Lin Moyu felt a hint of anticipation for the relic from beyond the sky.

After agreeing, he promptly tossed an Ice-Fire Dao Stone to the Three Ancestors.

He wasn't afraid the Three Ancestors would renege. As the biggest merchant on the Origin Continent, the Three Ancestors' credibility was trustworthy.

The Three Ancestors gleefully put away the Ice-Fire Dao Stone, "Good. This Ancestor will make some preparations. When ready, I'll take you there. You should also make some preparations."

Lin Moyu asked, "What do I need to prepare?"

"Cultivation level. You need to be at least fourth-level Dao Venerable. Even if you can manifest a Great Dao True Body, it's useless. Realm is realm, combat power is combat power. They're two different things," the Three Ancestors said seriously.

Lin Moyu naturally understood this principle. Some things were different in the eyes of the Great Dao.

No matter how strong his combat power or how high his soul level, if his cultivation level wasn't there, it wasn't there. This was a hard limit.

Fortunately, he wasn't far from the fourth-level Dao Venerable realm.

The fifty-ninth dao pattern was already half condensed. Even without any special encounters, it would take less than fourteen years to advance to the fourth-level Dao Venerable realm.

Lin Moyu said, "Alright. When I reach fourth-level Dao Venerable, you'll take me to the relic from beyond the sky. But I'd like to know some information about it first."

The Three Ancestors tossed over another jade tablet, "I've already prepared it for you."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "The Three Ancestors truly are the most excellent merchant, understanding people's hearts."

The Three Ancestors snorted lightly, "This Ancestor will take that as sincere praise. This Ancestor wants to ask, do you still have many of those flowers you used to treat the Dao Venerables?"

Lin Moyu said, "I do have some, but these spirit flowers are of no use to the Three Ancestors."

The Three Ancestors said, "This Ancestor knows. These flowers are most effective for those below the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm. Above that, the effect greatly diminishes, and they have no effect on Great Dao realm beings."

Lin Moyu said, "So what the Three Ancestors want to know is where I got the spirit flowers from, right?"

The Three Ancestors chuckled dryly. Even with his thick skin, this question wasn't easy to ask, but not asking made him uncomfortable.

Lin Moyu smiled, "Then do you think I'll tell you?"

The Three Ancestors already knew the answer, "Of course not."

Lin Moyu shrugged, "Everyone has their own secrets. This is this junior's own secret."

The Three Ancestors nodded, "This Ancestor understands."

The Three Ancestors didn't insist. He knew very well that some things couldn't be forced.

He also didn't want to antagonize Lin Moyu, so naturally wouldn't force the issue.

Lin Moyu said, "I also want to buy something from the Three Ancestors."

The Three Ancestors said, "If you want to buy something, just ask Little Lian."

Lin Moyu said, "Since Fairy Lu Lian is here, I'll say it all at once. I want to buy a flying magical treasure. It needs to be fast enough and not require me to personally control it."

A flying magical treasure fast enough and not requiring personal control implied that the treasure's grade needed to be high enough and it needed to have a spirit.

Either of these points meant a high price.

If combined, the price would increase exponentially.

The Three Ancestors' eyes lit up slightly, "Little Lian, is that item still there?"

As the grand steward, Lu Lian basically knew about all the good items in the Chamber of Commerce.

She didn't even need to think and directly replied, "There is one. Its grade is at the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm, but its speed is not slower than eighth-level Dao Venerable flying magical treasures. It also has a spirit, but this treasure isn't easy to accept a master."

Lin Moyu said, "Please elaborate, Fairy."

Lu Lian said, "This treasure is called the Cloud-Piercing Sword. It's a flying-type treasure with powerful attack capabilities. Its original grade was at the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm, but later due to damage, it fell to the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm."

"But its spirit still retains the pride of a ninth-level Dao Venerable, making it difficult to accept a master."

"Once, a ninth-level Dao Venerable ancestor wanted to make it accept him as master, but that spirit would rather self-destruct the treasure than accept a master."

"But we felt it would be a pity to erase the spirit."

Lu Lian didn't conceal anything and explained the situation of the Cloud-Piercing Sword.

With the Three Ancestors' methods, erasing the spirit naturally wouldn't be a problem, but that would greatly reduce the treasure's value.

However, the spirit wasn't willing to easily accept a master. Even ordinary ninth-level Dao Venerables couldn't do anything about it.

Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know why the spirit won't accept a master?"

Lu Lian said, "I've communicated with the spirit. According to it, its old master had a special Golden Body Silver Soul constitution, with a soul level far surpassing ordinary cultivators. So it looks down on ordinary cultivators."

Lin Moyu knew about this special Golden Body Silver Soul constitution.

It was an extremely strong cultivation constitution, second only to Little Moon's Innate Jade Soul in terms of cultivation speed, but slightly stronger than the Innate Jade Soul in combat power at the same level.

Golden Body referred to the physical body, while Silver Soul referred to the soul. Silver Soul was also an innate soul, slightly inferior to the Jade Soul.

This constitution had both physical body and soul stronger than ordinary people, and as cultivation level increased, the physical body would also strengthen. At the same level, the physical body was unrivaled, even compared to beast races, it was only stronger, not weaker.

Only those who specialized in physical body cultivation could compare.

But those who specialized in physical body cultivation were inferior to Golden Body Silver Soul in terms of soul, and would still be crushed.

If the Cloud-Piercing Sword's former master was a Golden Body Silver Soul cultivator, it was understandable that it was unwilling to accept a new master.

Spirits also had their own pride. Having been used to fine food, they naturally wouldn't be willing to eat coarse food.

Lin Moyu looked at the silent Three Ancestors, "Three Ancestors, haven't you tried to make it accept you as master?"

The Three Ancestors said, "With this old man's strength, there's no need for the Cloud-Piercing Sword."

This wasn't wrong, but Lin Moyu felt that the Three Ancestors must have tried and probably failed.

Lin Moyu knew what level his soul was at. Previously, it was an acquired soul, but now after the dragon breath baptism of the Eleven-colored Dragon Soul Crystal, his soul had transitioned from acquired to innate, no longer inferior to the Jade Soul.

Compared to the Silver Soul of the Golden Body Silver Soul constitution, it should be slightly stronger.

Moreover, his physical body far surpassed his cultivation realm.

Perhaps he could make that spirit accept him as master.

Even if he couldn't, it would be good for Little Moon to use in the future.

Lin Moyu said, "Then I'll take this one. Please name a price, Fairy Lu Lian."

Lu Lian thought for a moment and said, "For this treasure, we usually exchange it for other items. The price is a sixth-grade origin spirit vein. We don't accept origin crystals."

A sixth-grade origin spirit vein was extremely valuable, enough to establish a power. Most wouldn't exchange it for a flying magical treasure.

Lin Moyu said, "But I don't have a sixth-grade origin spirit vein."

Even if he had one, Lin Moyu wouldn't be willing to exchange it. It would be more practical to feed it to the Skeletal Hell.

The Three Ancestors spoke up, "How about this, you can exchange it with an Ice-Fire Dao Stone. Of course, an Ice-Fire Dao Stone is more valuable than the Cloud-Piercing Sword, so you can choose some other items to make up the difference. How about that?"

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Then let's do this. I don't want anything else, just give me origin crystals. Third-grade premium ones will do."

"My little ones in my power have grown up and might come out for experience. They'll need some origin crystals for expenses."

The Three Ancestors agreed immediately, "No problem. I'll have Little Lian give you a good price."

Lu Lian said, "Friend Lin is our Chamber of Commerce's VIP. According to the rules, you can get a discount."
