Above all spirits

Chapter 429 Crystal Ball: Feed me peanuts!

"Is it difficult?"

Did I ask the wrong question again?

Gu Yun said that the fastest way to obtain the power of the Death Rule was for two reasons.

One reason is that, having learned from his previous experience, he considered that this kind of knowledge might have a certain degree of universality, at least within the royal family, so he didn't talk about how to master the power of the death rule, but instead mentioned the fastest way.

Things based on common sense are rarely easy to achieve, because there is competition between demons, whether between demons or among demons within the same demon race, and true convenience is never made public.

Another reason is that he really needed it urgently. The sword behind him would probably be noticeable as unusual to a demon king, a god king, or even a lord or god who is close to this barrier.

It's too unsafe.

Lilia shook her head and said.

"It seems you have already made preliminary plans for your path and are taking a different path from the common Star Moon Demons. The Star Moon Demons control the power of the stars, so it is actually quite easy for them to grasp the essence of power and master the rules of power. This is also the choice of the common demons."

Gu Yun nodded naturally.

It turned out to be the case.

indeed.

Judging from the types of rules, the other categories are not easy to understand and master just by their names.

Seeing that Gu Yun did not refute, Lilia continued.

"Then let's go. Hopefully the guidance is clear enough. It's not easy to quickly grasp the power of the death rule. After all, you don't seem to have much killing intent, and you're not like the gods of the natural world who can comprehend death through the decay of plants."

"Please place your hand on the crystal ball."

Gu Yun nodded slightly and then spread her five fingers, her slender fingers gently resting on the surface of the crystal ball.

Cool to the touch.

Gu Yun could vaguely sense a faint fluctuation emanating from within the crystal ball.

It must be a rather special magical artifact.

Simultaneously.

Lilia's casual remark revealed to Gu Yun two paths to mastering the power of one side of the rules of death.

Killing intent and the realization of decay.

The perception of decay must be the source of the deathly power Eve left within her.

Killing intent...slaughter...

How many do I need to kill? I've killed quite a few myself on Canglan Star in the lower realm...

Although Gu Yun wanted to know more, it was clear that Lilia had categorized these two things as common sense and was just saying it casually.

If he were to demonstrate his ignorance once again, his identity as a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan would be questioned once more.

He should avoid such risks if possible.

Perhaps sensing the pressure, the purple light from the crystal ball began to gather around Gu Yun's palm.

"Power: The guidance of the morning star."

Lilia closed her eyes, and a white halo began to emanate from her body, making her figure appear even more sacred. It was a natural phenomenon that attracted a large amount of soul matter.

Judging from the appearance of exercising power, this power should be the power of the gods.

Gu Yun seemed to gradually understand that there was a reason why divination was considered valuable.

Because divination requires the use of power, and using power itself requires the use of soul essence, and Lilia's power seems to consume quite a lot, one hundred low-grade soul crystals might be considered cheap.

As Lilia's soul essence was depleted, she also placed her hand on the other side of the crystal ball.

Suddenly.

A strange, seven-colored halo began to circulate inside the crystal ball.

Strangely, Gu Yun noticed that the light flowing inside these crystal balls seemed to be trapped inside, revealing not a single trace to the outside world; the crystal balls were still enveloped in a layer of pale purple halo.

This feeling is like looking at the world through colored glasses; you can faintly perceive the differences in colors, but the overall impression is still the color of your eyes.

gradually.

Gu Yun noticed that Lilia's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Putting aside everything else, the corners of her mouth were clearly pressing down unconsciously and trembling.

Gu Yun could even clearly feel that Lilia's hand tried to break free from the crystal ball several times.

He didn't quite understand, but he could only wait silently.

And the other side.

Lilia was furious.

stop!

stop!

begging!

Wuwuwu——!

My soul essence!!!

My poor soul essence that I've been saving up for so long!!!

The moment the guiding star confirmed that the target was Gu Yun, her soul essence began to be consumed rapidly, like a floodgate being opened. At first, Lilia thought it was just a lot of noise but little action, after all, she had encountered it before.

The thunder was just a small prelude; what followed was not a downpour, but a waterfall cascading down from the sky.

Normally, divination for a demon consumes about twenty low-grade soul crystals.

Even a demon lord.

She had tried it before, but for normal needs, like Gu Yun's search for guidance on the side of the rules of death, to be honest, this type of thing covers a wide range and the results are rather vague. It would only require about eighty low-grade soul crystals, and according to the price, it would be profitable no matter what.

But for Gu Yun...

It has now reached the level of sixty low-grade soul crystals, but that's not the key point. The key point is that there is absolutely no sign of it weakening!

Several times during the process, Lilia tried to pull back the hand that was wielding its power.

But when he thought about canceling the order, he realized that not only would he have wasted sixty low-grade soul crystals of soul essence, but he would also have to refund Gu Yun ten mid-grade soul crystals. This would be an absolute rip-off.

then...

Clinging to this hopeful thought that the consumption of soul essence would stop within the price Gu Yun would pay...

Eighty...

One hundred...

One hundred and twenty...

Lilia's hands began to tremble slightly, and her eyes were already a little moist.

One hundred and fifty!!

One hundred and eighty!!!

As the tide recedes and the waves come to an end.

Lilia revealed nearly two hundred low-grade soul crystals worth of soul essence...

Two hundred low-grade soul crystals!!!

To know.

A low-grade soul crystal can buy several very luxurious meals. (The realm of gods and demons has specialized equipment for extracting soul essence from soul crystals, which is paired with equipment for injecting soul essence, so a low-grade soul crystal can actually buy quite a lot.)

A low-grade soul crystal can sustain the body of a newly ascended demon general for a full month through natural consumption.

Five low-grade soul crystals are enough to use a teleportation array to travel to another demon realm.

...

Ahhhhh!

The gambler's biggest defeat!

Lilia was truly suffering in silence; she was really about to lose her little pearl.

He stammered as he spoke.

"I..."

"I'll never do business with the Star Moon Demon again..."

Talking and talking.

at last.

Lilia couldn't help but bury her face in the table and cry.

Gu Yun, looking completely bewildered, patted Lilia on the shoulder and asked tentatively.

"What's wrong? Did the divination not go well?"

If that doesn't work.

"Just give me half back, I'm not insisting, I understand."

Kill people and kill your heart.

As soon as Gu Yun said this, Lilia cried even harder.

After all that trouble...

The two of them even forgot to pay attention to the crystal ball.

They forgot their purpose and the outcome.

At this moment, the crystal ball...

Alone.

The originally flowing, seven-colored light inside had converged into a strange phenomenon: an eye hanging in the sky.

(Crystal ball: Feed me peanuts!)
