It's possible to practice magic this way, right?

After leaving the store, Lin Li asked, "Why don't you sell the Level 5 magic core?"

菲尔说道：“5级魔核和4级魔核不同。4级也就20金币一个，5级魔核最少500金币以上。”

"So much difference?"

"Because of resisting the invasion of the abyss, the warriors' skills have been developed to the master level. It is relatively easy for a master-level warrior to get a level 4 magic core. This has caused the value of magic cores of level 4 and below to drop significantly."

"Then why is the price of level 5 so high?" Lin Li asked.

"Do you think everyone can kill a level 5 monster like you? You should know that monsters of the same level are generally stronger than practitioners of the same level. Besides, level 5 monsters are not stupid. They will run away if they can't beat them. Moreover, there are relatively few level 5 monsters. Take the Ruyuan Forest for example. It is basically impossible to encounter a level 5 monster unless you go deep into it."

"In fact, the most important thing is the function. For example, when embedded in a weapon, a master-level skill can only be performed with a level 5 magic core."

"I see. No wonder I only encountered a few of them in the four months I was there. I was lucky to find a lightning-type one. Otherwise, I might still be stuck at the elite level."

Phil looked at Lin Li and said, "You are really a pervert. You can kill a level 5 monster alone with an elite. I thought you were already a master before you teleported into the forest."

"Hehe, it's okay. I have Gaina to help me. If I were alone, I really wouldn't be able to kill it."

That was indeed the case at the time. Thanks to Gaina's help, otherwise Lin Li really couldn't kill the level 5 monster. That was because Lin Li didn't have the burst skill yet. He relied on the improved combat skills to barely tie, and with Gaina's help, he slowly killed it. The main reason was that the monster was not as fast as Gaina.

"Level 5 monsters are not that easy to kill. Generally speaking, only a master-level team of two or more can hunt them. And it is also much more dangerous to go deep into the forest. Therefore, the price of level 5 magic cores has always been very high."

"It takes two masters to hunt a level 2 monster, so how dare you seven people hunt a legendary monster?"

"We are different. We have made a lot of preparations for hunting legendary monsters. We have prepared various scrolls and potions specifically for them, and their warriors' weapons are all magic weapons suitable for master level. Steven and William's full body armor has also been treated with fire resistance. We spent more than 2 gold coins just to prepare these things."

"More than 2 gold? Can a legendary monster be worth so much money?"

"It's worth it. The starting price of the legendary magic core alone is 1 gold. The transaction price is usually between 1.5 and 2 gold. The rest depends on what kind of monster it is. Some monsters' fur and bones are also very valuable."

"The transaction price is more than 1.5 gold coins? So I am a rich man now." Lin Li touched the magic core of the Thunder War Bear in his pocket. He held it in his palm and put his hand in his pocket without taking it out. This must not be lost.

"Haha, yes, so you have to keep it well." Although I couldn't see her expression, I could feel that she was in a good mood just by listening to her voice. She must have noticed Lin Li's little action and found it interesting.

"By the way, I don't have a weapon now. I want to buy a better magic sword. How many gold coins will it cost?" Lin Li asked.

"It's hard to say. It depends on the quality of the weapon."

"How much is Lida's sword worth? It looks pretty good to me."

"Her sword is what we bought before we set out. It can increase the activity of the lightning element, making the power of the master-level warrior's lightning element combat skills about 20%, but the consumption of lightning elements will increase by 10%."

"The magic weapons we prepared this time are of average quality. Even so, the sword costs 1800 gold coins."

"So expensive? Damn, I guess I can only make do with a random weapon for now." Lin Li said regretfully. Then he asked, "How much can a high-end weapon be upgraded, and how many gold coins are needed?"

"The most powerful magic weapon I've ever seen was at an auction in the imperial capital. That sword can increase the power of fire-based combat skills by 50%, and it has two fire-based combat skills. Since it has a level 2 fire-based magic core embedded in it, it won't speed up the consumption of elements in the body."

"It's so powerful, with a 50% increase, how many gold coins did that sword cost?"

"The final transaction price was 1.6 gold coins, catching up with the legendary magic core."

"Damn, I thought I was rich, but it turns out I can't even afford a good weapon. Master-level weapons are so expensive, how much can legendary weapons be worth?"

"I don't know about that either. Every legendary weapon is custom-made. The family of a person who has a legendary weapon must have had a legendary warrior. No one would buy a family with a legendary technique."

Finally, we arrived at the central square of Lilith City. In the middle of the square stood a statue of Lilith. Although it was already night, there were magic lights around the statue.

Lin Li approached the statue. The statue was not very tall, only about 2 meters, with a small base underneath. The magic goddess Lilith was a great beauty. Even wearing a magic robe, she could not hide her hot body. Her full breasts showed off her proud curves. The magic robe was only buttoned up. The action of holding up the magic staff to cast a spell showed off her long legs perfectly. Her waist-length hair fluttered in the wind, and her mature and charming face was filled with a confident smile. It seemed that no matter what kind of enemy was on the opposite side, they would be wiped out by this magic.

"How was it? Were you surprised?"

"This statue is simply a work of art, perfectly displaying beauty and power. But is Lilith really that beautiful?"

"I don't know. I've never seen the real person. This statue was made by Lilith's apprentice. This apprentice has always loved her and finally succeeded in pursuing Lilith."

"This statue is not simple. Don't think it's just a statue."

Lin Li asked in confusion: "If this isn't a statue, what is it?"

"It's magic, and it's god-level magic."

"What? God-level magic? This statue?"

"Yes, this statue should be called a petrified statue. It is not carved, but directly shaped by rock magic. Generally, rock-based creations have effects, but this stone statue does not. As long as it is not destroyed, it will exist forever."

"Lilith's apprentice Gray was also a god-level magician, known as the strongest rock magician at the time. I heard that his greatest interest in life was to make stone statues of Lilith. However, except for the stone statues made with god-level magic, the other statues no longer exist. There are a total of 12 existing stone statues of Lilith, including this one. This one is the largest, and I heard that the smallest one is only the size of a palm."

"It is said that each stone statue is of different sizes, shapes, and ages, but they all fully display the beauty of Lilith."

Lin Li asked, "Where can we see the remaining statues?"

"There are two in the Yunyi Empire Museum and two in the Magic Association Headquarters. The others are all in private collections. One was once auctioned at the Empire, and the final transaction price was as high as 500 million gold coins."

500 million gold coins? Just to buy a stone statue? Is it because I don't understand art or is poverty limiting my imagination?
