Chapter 3112 Business OpportunityAt that point, everyone’s expression became tense. Now, they finally believed that the stone was
indeed a sealing stone
and something was sealed beneath it. Many cultivators extended their spiritual sense, trying to find out
what was inside
the hole..
Suddenly, plumes of black mist emerged from. the hole. Immediately afterward, the mist dispersed and
attacked the
cultivators around the altar indiscriminately.
Zordey and the others could only start defending themselves against the swirling black mist. “What is
this?” Jared asked.
The black mist didn’t reach them as they had positioned themselves quite far away.
“Evil spirits. These are evil spirits.” Renault furrowed his brow at once.
“Evil spirits?” Jared was taken aback. “That’s right. These are evil spirits. They’re formed from ancient
weapons with
weapon souls. When these weapons were damaged in battle or their wielders died, these weapon
souls became stranded
here for a long period. In addition to the Night Sea’s corrosive effects, these weapon souls turned
malevolent over timeand became evil spirits. Acquiring a weapon inhabited by an evil spirit is not a blessing. The evil spirit
may possess the
user and even endanger their life,” Renault explained to Jared.
Jared instantly thought of the sword spirit within his Dragonslayer Sword, Zelda. If Zelda were
abandoned here for
thousands of years, would she also become malicious and transform into an evil spirit?
“Why do these evil spirits seem so frenzied? It’s as if they’ve lost all consciousness,” Jared couldn’t
help but remark as he
watched Zordey and the others battling the evil spirits.
“Indeed. Most of these evil spirits are broken and fragmented, void of any consciousness. The weapon
soul of an
undamaged divine weapon would never degrade into evil spirits no matter how much time passed.
Instead, they would
refine themselves further. Only those wrecked weapon souls would devolve into mindless, bloodthirsty
evil spirits. They
know no fear of death as that concept is nonexistent to them,” Renault responded.
Jared found his words to make sense. These evil spirits are weapon souls, to begin with. They don’t
possess a mortal
body or life. Naturally, they aren’t afraid of death. The loss of consciousness only serves to augment
their fearlessnessfurther.
Though not particularly powerful, those evil spirits were incredibly tenacious and troublesome to deal
with, pestering their
opponents relentlessly, which caused Zordey and the others to grow frustrated.
“These evil spirits are truly a handful, but could they be the only entities sealed by the sealing stone?
Logically, this
shouldn’t be the case. The evil spirits are numerous but not very formidable.” Jared was bewildered.
Was that sealing
stone really meant to seal these evil spirits only?
“Mr. Chance, regardless of what the sealing stone was supposed to seal, an opportunity has presented
itself for us,”
Renault said with a sly grin.
“Opportunity? What opportunity?” Jared asked in confusion. “Hurry up and look at the ground where
the fight is taking
place.” Renault pointed.
novelbinJared shifted his gaze to the ground where Zordey and the other cultivators were battling the evil
spirits, only to notice an
array of weapons littered across the floor, such as swords, spears, pikes, hooks, and even some
decorative pins andrings.
The sight astounded Jared. There wasn’t a thing on the ground earlier, so where did all these things
come from all of a
sudden?
“Old Mr. Seizon, what’s going on?” Jared asked in bafflement.
“Mr. Chance, these are the primordial treasures left behind by the slain evil spirits. Once an evil spirit is
killed, its
corresponding treasure materializes. Now devoid of a weapon soul, these treasures can be freely
picked up. Although
damaged in the ancient wars, these divine weapons still possess significant value. They are ancient
divine weapons, after
all. Moreover, the stronger the evil spirit, the more valuable its corresponding treasure.” Renault’s eyes
gleamed with
excitement.
Jared glanced at Renault. As expected of a businessman. He has a knack for spotting business
opportunities to make
money in the most unexpected situations.
