A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Bone Demon Transaction (Part 2)

The crystal ball, as small as a grain of sand to the Bone Demon, still posed no obstacle to its soul observation.

The Bone Demon was clearly astounded by the wizard’s magical ability to leverage the rule of amplification, magnifying a tiny power to an infinite extent.

”Alright, while there’s still some residual energy in my space-time communication altar, let’s perform a routine transaction. Mr. Bone Demon, what is it that you need?”

Green lifted his head, his eyes of elemental sight beneath the Face of Truth gazing at the Bone Demon. The recent exchange of tokens consumed a lot of the altar’s crystal stone energy.

The Bone Demon laughed heartily in its soul communication.

”Hahaha, I need the bones of powerful creatures, for instance... the skull in your hand!”

The Bone Demon had its eyes on Green’s Horned Skull Magic Wand’s Master of the World’s Skull, used by the Black Tower Stigma Sorcerer to seal the Nightmare Shadow!

Master of the World’s Skull, this Bone Demon indeed has a discerning eye.

Green inwardly sneered, but kept his expression impassive, and said calmly, ”You want my magic wand? Then, what can you offer in exchange?”

Green didn’t think the other could offer anything valuable enough to make him give up the Horned Skull Magic Wand. In Green’s mind, the world’s master skull and the magic wand were integral, and the value of the Horned Skull Magic Wand was...

Despite his inner sneer, out of the basic etiquette of conducting transactions with creatures of a Different World, Green didn’t outright reject the offer before hearing the proposal.

Distant transactions with Different World often symbolized the exchange of advantages between worlds with different rules, possibly holding unparalleled value in the other’s world, especially when low-level creatures are trading.

Perhaps the other party could offer a more advanced treasure that would make Green’s heart flutter with excitement, willing to part with the Horned Skull Magic Wand.

After some thought, the Bone Demon made a retching sound and suddenly vomited a flame of soul fire.

The flame appeared purple-black, over two meters high. As it fell into the skeletal hand, it was squeezed into the size of a crystal ball, while the purple-black aura dissipated, transforming into an incredibly pure, transparent soul fire.

”This stretch of soul fire is worth a full 250,000 Bolun. In terms of value...”

Green was greatly disappointed. For him, who frequently participated in world battles, collecting souls was incredibly easy; perhaps in the Bone Demon World, souls were their standard currency, an essential stockpile, but for most wizards in the Wizard World, they held little value.

This Bone Demon seemed well-versed in interacting with Different World creatures, keenly sensing Green’s displeasure, and hurriedly asked, ”Then what do you need in exchange?”

Green pondered for a few breaths, then spoke in a deep voice, ”Materials more conducive to energy guidance, or... knowledge!”

”Knowledge?”

The Bone Demon muttered to itself, then slowly shook its head. Suddenly, another skeletal hand reached into its eye socket and pulled out a large chunk of blue ice.

”This was left over from a World Master who intruded into the Bone Demon World and was later slain by several powerful Bone Kings. I collected this material from the battlefield relics, it should meet your conditions.”

Beneath the Face of Truth, upon seeing the blue ice, Green’s eyes flared with Element Light.

”Extreme cold crystal!”

Green immediately recognized the material the Bone Demon held.

The extreme cold crystal, in the legendary level alchemy materials of Ancient Wizards, is of the same high level as Green’s Truth Mask’s Alchemy Marrow of the Alien.

The higher the alchemy material, the more demanding the requirements for expansiveness are, making the Sorcery Instrument adaptable and shape-shifting, with endless applications. The extreme cold crystal’s melting and coagulating extensibility almost rivals the Alchemy Marrow of the Alien and naturally applies high-level ice elemental energies.

Now, for Green, the extreme cold crystal in the Bone Demon’s hand seemed like a small mountain.

If fully unleashed, this mass of extreme cold crystal would keep expanding until it reached the limit of its own frost condensation energy, possibly growing mountain-sized and beyond.

This is the extensibility of extreme cold crystal.

If its frost energy is collected, this ten-meter small ice mountain could shrink to the size of a fist, a completely plausible phenomenon.

Green fell into silence as the altar beneath slowly drained its energy. Suddenly, as if deciding something, Green called out, ”Deal!”

Losing the Horned Skull Magic Wand for Green at this moment did mean a decline in combat power, but acquiring this piece of extreme cold crystal provided Green with the basis to craft a higher-level magic wand!

In the skull sockets of the Bone Demon, surrounded by purple-black noxious fumes, the soul fire danced excitedly. The extreme cold crystal in its palm kept shrinking, down to the size of Green’s crystal ball. One side saw Green pushing his Horned Skull Magic Wand into the temporal vortex, while the Bone Demon handed over the extreme cold crystal from another world.

Almost simultaneously, they both received what they desired.

”Hahaha, a pleasure doing business, strong one of the Foreign Domain, I hope for further cooperation in the future. I am known as the Three Souls Bone-Crusher Chieftain, what should I call you?”

As soon as the massive Bone Demon acquired the Horned Skull Magic Wand, another hand snapped off the wand’s shaft, carelessly stuffing the metallic material into its eye socket, then eagerly swallowing the transformed ram-horned skull head into its belly.

”Shadow of Despair!”

The extreme cold crystal in Green’s hand, crystal ball size, emitted wisps of blue chill, but under Green’s World’s Cloak Rule Arc’s restraint, it gradually contracted, finally shrinking to a fist-size, which Green then tossed into the Dimensional Gap.

”Pleasure doing business.”

With Green’s words, the crystal energy on the magic altar ran dry, ending the space-time communication, and Green regained the half-step Chronos Perception of three-eighteens of a second.

Sigh...

Releasing a relieved breath, Green felt quite pleased.

”Interesting indeed, no wonder in those Demon-Hunting Expedition Worlds, all capable of communicating with Different World creatures were revered as Prophets, Saints, and Wise Ones within their worlds...”

Murmuring to himself, Green once again cloaked himself with the Robe of Appearances, temporarily forgetting the matter, and resumed perusing the old wizard’s hidden books in the underground laboratory.

About five Hourglasses later.

The old wizard returned to the laboratory with Cappuccino, immediately burying his head in the laboratory experiments on the table, seemingly still pondering the reason for yesterday’s experimental failure, suspecting he might have fallen short in some aspect.

On the other hand, the little girl hummed a tune as she skipped into the laboratory, ignoring her grandfather. Upon seeing the altar in the center, she paused.

Cappuccino slowly approached the altar for a closer look, her suspicions evident, before shifting her gaze around the room as if sensing something different.

Soon, the little girl made her way straight to the bookshelf where Green stood! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m. to read.)
