Chapter 1959: The Nine Life Vital Disc
[Nine Life Vital Disc: A disc crafted from the broken Great Dao of the universe. It requires nine high-rank divine weapons to be fused into its holes in order for it to unleash supreme power.]
An Lin’s eyes widened slightly in surprise upon seeing this information.
Nine high-rank divine tools?
The eight divine tools from the Vermilion Bird treasure vault were all high-rank divine tools.
Was that a coincidence?
Or perhaps the former Great Empress Vermilion Bird had been trying to collect divine tools to fuse with the Nine Life Vital Disc?
This made sense as it explained why the former Great Empress Vermilion Bird wasn’t as spendthrift as Vermilion Birds were known to be. So she was trying to save up for divine tools in order to activate this Nine Life Vital Disc?
But she ended up dying after collecting only eight…
An Lin felt like he had discovered the truth.
High-rank divine tools were all supreme treasures that one could only obtain through luck and fortune. Even G.o.ds of Creation would be unable to collect nine of them on demand. They had to spend countless years searching and refining.
An Lin then turned his attention to the eight divine tools he had obtained, which consisted of the Thousandfold Puppet Heart, Red Dance Divine Sword, Infernal Dragon Saber Bone, Necromancy Divine Staff, Extremely Divine Heavenly Saber, Chaotic Scale Armor, Black Origin Divine Spear, and the Extreme Star.
These were all divine tools with different types of powers.
The only similarity they shared was that they emanated extremely terrifying energy fluctuations and were most definitely top-notch artifacts.
“Only with nine high-rank divine tools can the Nine Life Vital Disc be activated? What is this Nine Life Vital Disc? It sounds really bada.s.s.” An Lin’s interest was piqued.
His Divine Inspection Technique hadn’t specified what the Nine Life Vital Disc could do. All it disclosed was that the Nine Life Vital Disc was capable of unleas.h.i.+ng supreme power. This was absolutely glowing commendation considering it was coming from his Divine Inspection Technique.
However… he didn’t appear to have any spare high-rank divine tools…
The Karma Star Protection Divine Disk was at the pinnacle of divine tools, but it was still protecting Earth with the Rabbit Maiden. It was serving an extremely important role and couldn’t be liberated from that duty.
After being nurtured for a while, the Evil-Slaying Sword had become an intermediate-rank divine tool with limitless potential, but it still wasn’t a high-rank divine tool.
So what else could he use?
An Lin was temporarily stumped.
He searched carefully through his storage ring to find that he really didn’t have any treasure that fit the bill.
A high-rank divine tool…
Maybe he could try to buy one?
He had a lot of money anyway.
An Lin’s eyes gradually lit up.
Money could solve all his problems.
An Lin contacted Emperor Ziwei first via voice transmission talisman.
“h.e.l.lo, An Lin, we were speaking in person not long ago. Do you need anything from me?” Emperor Ziwei asked in a cautious voice. He was scared that An Lin would start flexing on him again.
If so, he was going to hang up the voice transmission immediately!
“I want a high-rank divine tool, do you have any?” An Lin asked.
Emperor Ziwei was given a fright.
“High-rank divine tool? I don’t have anything of that caliber…”
“Huh? Aren’t you the number one tool refinement master of the Kingdom of the Nine States? How could you not even have a high-rank divine tool?”
Emperor Ziwei’s chest constricted. “An Lin, do you think high-rank divine tools are cabbage?! There are only a handful of them across the entire Tai Chu Continent, and all of them belong to the most powerful beings on the continent…”
“But you’re the number one tool refinement master in the Kingdom of the Nine States…” An Lin repeated.
Emperor Ziwei: “I may be the number one tool refinement master in the Kingdom of the Nine States, but I’m very poor…”
“I have money, can you refine one for me? Can you make one in a month?” The main battle was probably going to erupt in about a month.
Emperor Ziwei’s chest constricted further after sensing An Lin’s tyc.o.o.n aura.
“An Lin, I’ll tell you the truth. Divine tools, in particular, high-rank divine tools, cannot just be refined with money. Even if you have the money, you have to find the right materials and the right place, then refine the materials for countless years. Requesting a high-rank divine tool even in a hundred years is unrealistic, let alone a month.
“If you give me ten thousand years, I can mull it over and try to create one, but there is no guarantee that I will succeed. Furthermore, it will require the expenditure of countless resources and ma.s.sive opportunities…”
An Lin was getting more and more displeased as this conversation progressed. “Can’t you make one if I give you five billion spirit stones?”
Emperor Ziwei’s hand twitched, and he almost hurled his voice transmission talisman through the air.
“Wha… so much? How do you have so much money?” His voice quivered.
“Oh, I obtained some spoils from a recent battle,” An Lin replied nonchalantly.
Emperor Ziwei clasped a hand over his chest.
Tool refinement masters were extremely rich, and as the number one tool refinement master in the Kingdom of the Nine States, Emperor Ziwei was sure that he was the richest in the Kingdom of the Nine States second only to the Celestial Thearch.
Right until he met An Lin…
Emperor Ziwei had received a heavy blow. In the face of Filthy Rich An, he felt like a f*cking peasant!
“So how about it? Can you make one?” An Lin asked.
“You have a lot of spirit stones… If you give me enough time, I can definitely refine one, but a month is simply too short. To be frank, no tool refinement master on the entire Tai Chu Continent would be capable of refining one in such a short time frame. The only thing you can do is to buy an existing one…” Emperor Ziwei heaved a forlorn sigh.
Emperor Ziwei was simply unable to help An Lin, so their conversation soon drew to a conclusion.
Buy an existing one…
An Lin thought about this for a moment before running through a list of the G.o.ds of Creation on the Tai Chu Continent.
It was most likely the case that only G.o.ds of Creation would possess high-rank divine tools available for purchase.
The first person he thought of was the gentle and beautiful Big Sister Nuwa.
An Lin immediately contacted Nuwa via voice transmission talisman.
The voice transmission talisman was picked up quite quickly, and a voice as clear and smooth as a flowing creek sounded from the other side.
“An Lin? How rare an occasion it is for you to contact me. Do you need anything?”
Nuwa’s voice was very pleasant. It was pure and refres.h.i.+ng and immediately put the listener at ease.
“I do have something that I need your help with. I need a high-rank divine tool, and I was wondering if you had a spare one. I’m willing to purchase it with spirit stones,” An Lin replied in a slightly sheepish voice.
“This…” Nuwa was taken aback by this request.
Right at this moment, an extremely excited voice sounded from the other side.
“Senior, my yin and yang dual swords are high-rank divine tools! I can give them to you!”
Slap!
“Calm down, you silly girl! Have you gone insane?!” Black Spirit Snake’s furious voice erupted.
An Lin was initially quite excited before being plunged into disappointment again.
White Spirit Snake still loved him, but Black Spirit Snake still hated him.
“It is very important?” Nuwa asked.
“Hmm… It’s pretty important. I’ve already collected eight, and if I have one more, I’ll be able to summon something really bada.s.s…” An Lin decided not to hide anything from Nuwa.
Nuwa’s voice trembled slightly. “You already have eight high-rank divine tools?!”
“That’s right. I just need one last one. I don’t have any requirements aside from the fact that it has to be a high-rank divine tool,” An Lin reiterated.
Nuwa fell silent for a moment before continuing, “If you really want one, I know of a high-rank divine tool that is up for sale. However, it belongs to my friend and has to be purchased. It’s quite expensive, and I’m afraid that you might not be able to afford it…”
“How much is it?” An Lin was starting to get a little nervous.
His total net worth was 6.2 billion. If this divine tool cost more than that…
Nuwa replied, “Two billion spirit stones!”
An Lin was shocked into silence.
How was it so cheap?
