The Strongest in the Caverns of the First Volume Chapter 26: Blood Sacrifice Spirit Device

  The shopkeeper was indeed efficient, and directly took out an object from the storage wristband. The object was only about the size of a palm, shaped like a treasure pagoda, emitting a faint cyan glow. Apart from being able to sense that this object was slowly absorbing the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, at first glance it seemed very ordinary.

  However, Chu Yi still judged that this was a spiritual instrument, and the quality of the spiritual instrument was higher than that of the law enforcement instrument, also giving it a special property that the law enforcement instrument could not match.

  Any piece of spiritual equipment that reaches the level of a divine artifact will possess a spirit core after successful refinement, allowing it to continuously absorb the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.

  Thus, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nurturing the instrument, there are even rumors that if a top-grade spiritual instrument is placed in a location with dense spiritual energy for an extended period, it may be possible to transcend its grade and advance to become a precious instrument.

  "What a wonderful device!" Chu Yi exclaimed in surprise, curiously asking: "What is this thing..."

  "The ancestral treasure of the Qi Huang Sect - the Yuan Li Tower." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

  "What's the point?"

  At the moment when Chu Yi asked, the shopkeeper showed a hint of embarrassment and sighed: "This Yuanli Tower is absolutely genuine, but because it has only one function, that's why it's sold at such a low price. I'll demonstrate to you how to use it."

  The shopkeeper grasped the Origin Force Tower, his fingers moving swiftly and decisively. However, he saw the Origin Force Tower slowly start to rotate, and at the same time, he lifted it up in front of him, gazing through the circular gap in the center of the tower.

  But this gaze, however, gave a start to the shopkeeper who had already attained the fusion period of his cultivation.

  "It's just the initial cultivation of the Open Heaven stage, how can it have over 600 battles? Is it because there is a powerful treasure on his body? I've cultivated to the sixth realm of fusion and also personally refined two top-grade artifacts, but even with the Yuan Force Tower's inspection, it's only around 500 battles..."

  "But this yuan force tower was a cheap thing I got at the beginning, who knows if there's any problem with it, why bother so much, being able to make a deal is the right way."

  Businessmen are businessmen, and the shopkeeper immediately threw away that thread of curiosity and handed the yuan force tower to Chu Yi's hand: "Young man, use this spiritual decision to activate the yuan force tower, and from the yuan energy eye in the tower, you can see the war power value of all cultivators below the yuan infant realm."

  "Combat Power!"

  As soon as he heard this new word, Chu Yi was shocked in his heart. According to the ritual of moving the spirit, when Chu Yi approached, from the middle of Yuan Li Tower, a clear number jumped out from the faint green mist - five hundred and sixty-two.

  Fortunately, Chu Yi was a modern person who had traveled through the earth and had super strong adaptability to new things. After the shopkeeper's explanation, he already understood the subtleties of this yuan force tower.

  The creator of this "Yuanli Pagoda" was a medium-sized sect that focused on alchemy, and it was created by a Jin Dan period True Person from the sect who had an extraordinary idea over a hundred years ago.

  After refining the "Yuanli Tower", this object was considered a white elephant due to its high production cost, although it is a spiritual instrument, it can't even compare with the practicality of a law enforcement tool.

  The Golden Elixir True Person who had originally hoped to make a huge profit for the sect was also killed by debt collectors due to his failure to pay off the massive debts he had incurred while researching this object, it's really frustrating.

  When he died, the method of refining the Yuanli Tower was lost, but the Instrument Emperor left behind a dozen or so finished products, which changed hands several times before ending up in this shopkeeper's possession.

  "I bought it."

  Chu Yi took out 500 top-grade spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper, not giving him a chance to speak, and turned around to leave.

  He put away the high-quality spirit stone, and the shopkeeper's face lit up with a smile. He muttered to himself in a strange tone, "This kid is really good at being deceived. What nonsense about combat value? It's actually just a useless item, selling it is pure profit!"

  At the same time, Chu Yi, who was walking on the street, muttered to himself in his heart, "Made a profit, really made a profit. This Yuan Li Tower is actually an instrument that can distinguish the strength of cultivators below the Yuan Ying period."

  Ling Jue's eyes gleamed as he gazed out at the crowd of cultivators on the street, his gaze sweeping over each one. "Open Eighth Realm - 316 Battle Strength; Fusion Third Realm - 412 Battle Strength; Fusion Eighth Realm - 2700 Battle Strength... This person is probably cultivating some powerful artifact, at least a mid-grade spiritual instrument..."

  With the help of the divine yuan force, Chu Yi can see through the realm of those who are below the Yuan Ying period in cultivation, but he cannot judge the opponent's true strength. Moreover, Chu Yi is also very clear that in many cases, the realm does not represent a person's true strength.

  The strength of a cultivator can be judged not only by their boundary, but also by the method they cultivate, the strength and weakness of their true yuan, the quality of the treasure they hold, and whether the divine ability they cultivate is mysterious or not.

  No one would be willing to face too many unknowns, but with this "Yuanli Tower", Chuyi was able to see through the depth of others' strength at a glance.

  Through the introduction of that shopkeeper, Chu Yi had a clear understanding of the several major constituent elements contained in the combat power value displayed in the Yuanli Tower. The first is the cultivation boundary; the second is the pros and cons of the cultivation method; the third is the power of the refining treasure.

  As a comprehensive assessment, these three elements are combined to calculate the combat value of a cultivator. Such a good thing was actually unrecognized by anyone back then. Thinking about that Golden Elixir True Person who researched the Primordial Tower and was driven to death by debt collectors, Chu Yu couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

  After acquiring the Yuanli Tower, Chuyi found an inn in the city to rest. In the quiet room, Chuyi took out the Yuanli Tower again, activated the divine yuan force to infuse it, and refined it.

  Unlike ordinary magic treasures, the yuan force tower does not require a fusion period to be refined, which makes Chu Yi feel regretful again for the death of that "genius inventor" in the cultivation world.

  Under the infusion of divine power, the cyan light on the yuan force tower grew stronger, and Chu Yi's spiritual decisions were struck into it one by one. Finally, a drop of fresh blood was forced out from his fingertips and pointed at the yuan energy eye.

  Any magical artifact that has been blood-sacrificed, as long as its quality is above that of a spiritual device, can fuse with its master without needing to be stored in a storage space. Some armor-type defensive artifacts, after being tempered and worn on one's body, can also exert their effects at all times.

  The properties of the divine yuan force once again gave Chu Yi a surprise, originally thinking that the cost of refining such a medium-grade spiritual instrument would be huge, and it was unknown whether one night's time would be enough, but in just over two hours, the yuan force tower was completely refined.

  The cyan mist surrounding the tower's body conveyed a breath of life connected to the heart, giving Chu Yi a feeling that this object was a part of his own body.

  Under the Ling Jue's sacrificial movement, the Yuan Li Tower slowly merged into Chu Yi's forehead and disappeared in an instant. The only change was that a faint cyan mark appeared on the center of Chu Yi's forehead.

  "I've become a three-eyed child myself..."

  This was Chu Yi's first time using the Refining Treasure, and he couldn't help but immediately test it out in excitement.

  Mind your own business, the spirit suddenly moved, a green mark flashed across the forehead, and the number "six hundred seventy-six" jumped into view.

  "This is my own combat power!?"

  For having such a combat value at the initial stage of opening, Chu Yi was quite satisfied. He then conserved his energy, calmed his mind and waited until the next morning before rushing to the south of the city.
