Chapter 815 - 408: The Mystery of the Soul Stone
Under the effect of the Deception Fruit, Long Dangdang now looked indistinguishable from an ordinary undead, dressed simply but without any signs of wear — just an average undead.
The shop, formerly occupied by wraith entities, no longer betrayed its original purpose, but it still maintained a rather lavish decor. Aside from the wraith aura that Long Dangdang found somewhat unsettling, it didn’t look much different from a luxurious human shop.
Upon entering the shop, Long Dangdang sensed strong spiritual fluctuations. However, they weren’t from a powerful individual but seemed more like many intense yet pure spiritual energies. The undead coming in and out all had a certain level of cultivation. On the faces of those leaving the shop, one could even see hints of excitement. Could undead creatures also possess such rich emotions?
Higher wraiths, despite intelligence comparable to humans, were supposed to be very dull in terms of emotions!
Driven by curiosity, Long Dangdang walked further inside. He wanted to see what these so-called Soul Stones really meant.
After passing through a front hall void of staff, he reached the main hall and saw that it contained just a ring of counters. Behind each counter sat an undead, and in front of them, other undead were lining up.
The queued undead exchanged various items with those behind the counters and then received a small bag in return. Even from a distance, Long Dangdang could feel the spiritual fluctuations from those small bags. Could these be the Soul Stones?
The items the undead exchanged for Soul Stones were diverse, mostly some minerals or plants with energy fluctuations. To human eyes, these would be precious metals or spirited fruits and herbs. Different items held different values here, resulting in varying amounts of Soul Stones received in exchange.
Long Dangdang used his spiritual power to scan his storage ring and then took out a standard estoc that he had previously used at the Knights Temple. He had already seen undead exchanging similar weapons for Soul Stones. This should work too, although he wasn’t sure how much he would get.
Following the undead in line, the wait wasn’t long. Soon, it was his turn. Long Dangdang handed over his estoc. The next moment, spiritual fluctuations appeared in his mind.
"Knights Temple Standard Estoc, worth five Grade D Soul Stones." The spiritual fluctuation was very clear. Looking behind the counter, Long Dangdang could clearly see the sparkling light in the undead’s eyes.
Without trying to respond with spiritual power, lest his identity be revealed, Long Dangdang just nodded. The undead handed over a small bag, and Long Dangdang took it and walked out of the shop.
