?Chapter 715: Chapter 314 Buying Alcohol Chapter 715: Chapter 314 Buying Alcohol “Jade Soul Algae?”
“You’re saying there’s Jade Soul Algae here?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing quickly turned his head and looked towards Changyun Yuanlei.
Changyun Yuanlei nodded.
“Yes!”
“Near this Lost Soul Island, Jade Soul Algae occasionally appears.
However, the Jade Soul Algae are sentient and extremely sensitive; the slightest disturbance will immediately make them flee.”
“And they are incredibly fast, very difficult to capture under normal circumstances.”
“That old man told me that as long as I bought him a jar of Drunken Soul Wine, he would tell me the method to capture Jade Soul Algae.”
“And then?”
“He didn’t tell you?” Lin Jing asked.
No sooner had Lin Jing’s words fallen than Changyun Yuanlei pulled out a scroll from his person and handed it to Lin Jing:
“The result…
is this…”
“I spent one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for a jar of wine and this thing.”
“Although that Drunken Soul Wine is brewed using Jade Soul Algae, the amount of Jade Soul Algae added is pitifully small.
I estimate that one piece of Jade Soul Algae could be used to brew at least a hundred jars of Drunken Soul Wine.”
“And to think that he actually sells it for one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones a jar; he’s truly swindling people without any compensation.”
“Big brother, you have no idea, because of his wine, I even made a fool of myself after getting drunk…”
…
…
While Changyun Yuanlei was complaining, Lin Jing also took the scroll and began to read it.
The content of the scroll was not much, recording a method of utilizing Divine Sense.
Since the Jade Soul Algae’s perception is too keen and their speed is extremely fast, normal capturing means, be it casting spells or trying to catch them with one’s hands, are impractical.
This scroll documented a capturing method, which is to spread one’s Divine Sense like a fishing net, enveloping the Jade Soul Algae silently, then quickly striking.
In that way, the success rate of capturing them would increase significantly.
?0???.??
This method, while indeed a good one, required very high Divine Sense strength.
Even someone with the Divine Sense strength of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like Changyun Yuanlei couldn’t do it; those who could use this method must have at least the cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Following that,
Changyun Yuanlei continued,
“After I had just handed over the Spirit Stones, he then said that to capture Jade Soul Algae, one would also need a distribution map of the frequent locations where Jade Soul Algae appears.”
“Otherwise…”
“Even after learning the capturing technique, trying to capture them on one’s own in the Sea of Strange would probably mean not encountering a single one for dozens of years.”
“Furthermore, considering that the chances of capturing Jade Soul Algae are already low, and adding how rare encounters are, one might not capture a single piece in hundreds of years.”
“But if you have the distribution map, you can easily encounter Jade Soul Algae.
Even if the success rate of capture isn’t high, with more attempts and slowly learning their habits, the success rate will naturally increase significantly.”
“It’s just that, to get the distribution map of Jade Soul Algae, you also need to buy a jar of Drunken Soul Wine for one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
You should understand that those are one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones.”
“That old man is really too much…”
“Originally, spending one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones for a jar of Drunken Soul Wine, which is worth far less, and that method of Divine Sense that I can’t even cultivate, was already a huge rip-off.”
“But then, he actually wanted to rip me off again…”
“I really am…”
“If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t beat him, I’d have beaten him up and snatched back the Spirit Stones he swindled from me.”
…
…
After Lin Jing finished reading the scroll, he then returned it to Changyun Yuanlei and asked:
“The tavern Shopkeeper you just mentioned, what’s his cultivation level?”
Upon hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei was jolted awake and quickly said:
“Big brother!”
“Although that old man appears unremarkable and seems to have a low cultivation, he likes to hide his true strength.”
“If it weren’t for a Divine Transformation Cultivator who was too full of himself causing trouble in his tavern, I wouldn’t have known that he is actually a Solidifying Body Stage cultivator.”
“Big brother, you must not provoke him.”
Lin Jing then spoke:
“No.”
“I was just asking.”
After saying this, Lin Jing looked towards Changyun Yuanlei and continued:
“The scroll he sold you seems to have no issues, just don’t know if his distribution map for the presence of Jade Soul Algae is genuine.”
Upon hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei suddenly turned his head, looking at Lin Jing incredulously:
“Big brother!”
“What do you mean by that?
Don’t tell me you’re tempted?”
Lin Jing nodded:
“I am somewhat tempted.”
“I have a Cultivation Technique that I have always been unable to cultivate successfully, precisely because my Soul Spirit strength is not enough.”
“If I really could capture a few pieces of Jade Soul Algae, I would be able to strengthen my Soul Spirit and successfully cultivate that Cultivation Technique.”
Upon hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei quickly said:
“Big brother!”
“You must think this over carefully.”
“We are almost certainly trapped in the Sea of Strange and can’t get out.”
“Inside this Sea of Strange, aside from those cultivators who originally practice water-attribute Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Stones are extremely important for other cultivators.”
“Without Spirit Stones, once Spiritual Power is depleted, it can’t be replenished, which basically means certain death.”
“Even if you, big brother, really do have Spirit Stones, you shouldn’t squander them like this.
After all, we can’t get out, and there’s still a long time ahead.”
“Besides, even if that old man really gives you the distribution map for Jade Soul Algae, who knows what kind of trap might be waiting for you later.”
“Big brother, you really must not be foolish!”
After hearing this, Lin Jing lowered his head in contemplation.
“One hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones is indeed not cheap.”
“But if it’s really possible to capture Jade Soul Algae, then it would be extremely worthwhile, and if more than one can be captured, then it would be an even bigger windfall.”
“Moreover, I am different from others; I have the Five Elements Command Token and can leave this place, so even if the Spirit Stones are used up, it’s not a big deal.”
