Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 39: Refining the Soul Vessel, Visitors from the Mu Family (Please Read!)

"As soon as I got the news, I went to the Mu family and negotiated with them for this top-grade water spirit seed."

"According to what you said, money is not a problem, but guess what?"

Facing Leng Qing's half-smile, Lu Ran raised an eyebrow: "Are they willing to sell?"

Leng Qing smiled and said, "The Mu family rejected me directly at first because they have a very talented water mage in their clan who can use this water spirit seed, even though I offered 40 million!"

Lu Ran sighed. If that was the case, then it really couldn't be forced.

Forty million is almost enough to buy two ordinary water spirit seeds.

But soon, Lu Ran noticed a word, 'at the beginning'!
"Is there any chance of turning around?" Lu Ran asked.

Leng Qing nodded and continued, "But soon the person from the Mu family who was negotiating with me discovered that he had previously paid a high price to buy a War General-level spirit essence that you had sent for auction from me."

"Your spirit essence is well preserved. Combined with other materials, it is enough to make a high-quality Nebula Magical Weapon."

"Therefore, the Mu family believes that I have a high-quality revenant vessel on hand."

At this point, Lu Ran understood a little.

Only necromancy mages can create the Soul Vessel.

Moreover, the soul vessel can store the spirit of a general, and it preserves the spirit so perfectly that almost no energy of the spirit leaks out.

Soul vessels of this level are extremely rare and scarce!
There are very few necromancers in China, and most of the necromancer instruments are imported from abroad.

Lu Ran's lips curled up, guessing the Mu family's thoughts, and chuckled: "So, the Mu family wants to exchange the water spirit seeds for the dead soul vessel?"

Leng Qing smiled and said, "That's what the Mu family meant, but I won't sell my ghost vessel. This is the only one I have."

"But you are a necromancer, you can create your own soul vessel. I released this news, and the Mu family was very excited after hearing it."

Lu Ran's mouth twitched, and he said awkwardly, "But I haven't built one yet."

Although he is indeed a necromancer, he has been busy practicing before.

Moreover, he didn't have any materials to make a vessel for the dead soul, so he didn't think about it for the time being.

It is impossible for a necromancer to make a vessel of the dead soul with his bare hands.

Leng Qing had an expression that suggested he'd known this all along: "I guessed it, and I told the Mu family so, but they still expressed their willingness to provide a batch of materials. They only requested that the final soul vessel be able to collect general-level spirit essences."

"I heard from Lingling that you can summon warlord-level undead, which means your undead cultivation is quite advanced. So, if you're willing to invest some time, creating an undead vessel capable of collecting warlord-level spirits shouldn't be a problem."

"The Mu family and the Bai family have a pretty good relationship. I deliberately spread the news, and the Bai family quickly learned this information from the Mu family. The Bai family also made the same choice as the Mu family. They also want the Soul Vessel and are willing to exchange it for the Thunder Spirit Seed!"

"Of course, the Mu and Bai families prefer to make friends with you, a necromancer. You should understand the value of a necromancer."

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, knowing that this was an opportunity Leng Qing had helped him to secure, and immediately said with a smile:
"Sister Leng Qing, I love you so much. Thank you so much this time."

Leng Qing smiled and shook his head: "I should be the one thanking you. Your Commander-level spirit essence is very well preserved. I asked someone to make it into a Galaxy Magic Weapon. This is a profit for me."

Lu Ran smiled. The Commander-level spirit essence was bought by Leng Qing, and the money was directly transferred to his account.

The price Leng Qing offered was very fair, three hundred million!
The price of a commander-level spirit essence ranges from 100 million to 500 million, depending on the level of the monster.

If you think about it, the spirit essence dropped by an ordinary commander cannot be worth the same as the spirit essence dropped by a great commander.

Although the Winged Cang Wolf's spirit essence was well-preserved, it was only an ordinary commander. Lu Ran considered its spirit essence value high at 200 million. The spirit essence of the Crimson Blasting Demon that Mo Fan had killed only sold for a little over 100 million.

"Since you agree, I will contact the Mu and Bai families and ask them to send some of the materials for refining the ghost vessel so you can practice. Don't worry, I haven't exposed your identity. I'm using my private identity."

"There's also some information about necromancy mages refining vessels for the dead in the Inquisition. It might be helpful to you. I'll bring it to you in a few days."

After hearing Leng Qing's words, Lu Ran was a little moved and almost burst into tears.

Leng Qing took care of all these things alone, without any complaints.

"Sister Leng Qing, I have no way to repay you, but to give you my body!" Lu Ran said with emotion.

Leng Qing teased, "Promise yourself to me? Then Tang Yue will probably run to the Magic City to question me for stealing her."

"You know everything?" Lu Ran's eyes widened!
He hadn't told anyone about his and Tang Yue's intimate behavior in Xishui Town, and Tang Yue couldn't tell anyone either.

Could it be that Lingling let something slip?

Leng Qing was stunned and asked in confusion, "What do you know? About you being her student? Or about you helping him capture Chao He?"

"Ah, you know, I've always been Teacher Tang Yue's most proud student. Yes, that's right."

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. If Leng Qing knew about his unclear relationship with Tang Yue, it would be difficult for him to face Leng Qing in the future.
The Mu family quickly sent people to the agreed designated location and left the first batch of special materials for refining the ghost vessel.

Leng Qing accepted it on his behalf and then returned to Qingtian Hunting Ground.

During the entire process, the Mu family did not notice or suspect Leng Qing's true identity.

Lu Ran directly started to experiment and began to try to refine the vessel of the dead soul.

The Soul Vessel is very similar to the Undead Space that a Necromancer possesses after breaking through to the intermediate level.

The former stores the souls of demons, that is, the residual souls and the essence souls.

The latter is a space for cultivating the undead, similar to a contract space.

However, the scale of the undead space is much larger than the contract space.

Raising the undead is the same as raising contracted beasts, both require massive amounts of resources.

Therefore, most necromancer mages will not waste resources to cultivate multiple undead.

"How's the research on the ghost vessel going?" Leng Qing suddenly asked.

In order to help Lu Ran, Leng Qing also lent Lu Ran the only ghost vessel he had for research.

What a caring big sister!
Lu Ran was so moved!

"Not bad." Lu Ran smiled. As a necromancer, refining a vessel for the dead souls was easier than he had imagined.

"By the way, someone from the Mu family has come again. She's right outside. Do you want to meet her? This time, the one who came is the daughter of the Mu family. She's so beautiful." Leng Qing joked.

"The daughter of the Mu family?" Lu Ran was puzzled. "Does the Mu family know my identity?"

Leng Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she shook her head, "It shouldn't be. I never revealed the location of the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, and your identity as a necromancer hasn't been exposed. They came here for a commission, so it must be a coincidence."
