Fiend Castle, a gathering place for Fiend.
Upon entering the first-floor lobby, the three registered at the front desk.
"Sir, we'd like to register for the Fiend assessment," Jason said to the middle-aged man at the front desk.
The middle-aged man glanced at the three of them, his gaze lingering briefly on Kasabu, who was now Highgod, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Having held this position for hundreds of thousands of years, I've seen many "new things," so nothing surprises me anymore.
In the Netherworld, there are many who did not join a tribe or family and became bandits. Only after breaking through to the Deity-level Highgod can they have the opportunity to take the exam to become a Fiend god. Taking the exam to Fiend is also a common way for bandits to clear their names. The receptionist said that he had seen this kind of thing many times.
"Ten thousand Nether Stone each."
Jason readily paid the processing fee.
He handed Jason three badges engraved with a burning one-eyed demon, then said, "When the assessment time arrives, these badges will glow. You can then go to the Fiend Castle that day to participate in the assessment. Latecomers will not be accepted."
The three nodded and left the Fiend Castle.
"Shall we go back to cultivate?" Landon asked.
Kasabu said, "I'm unlikely to make any breakthroughs in my cultivation; I'll just wander around the city."
Jason suddenly remembered something. "By the way, we haven't yet asked what those two metals produced at the family estate are."
The three returned to the Northbone Hall.
This time, the three of them started by looking at the first floor.
Kasabu's stroll Highgod the first floor drew many surprised glances, so he simply went straight to the second floor, while Jason and Landon explored the first floor first.
The first floor doesn't have anything particularly noteworthy; it's mostly inexpensive, high-volume items.
Lowgod Spark and Lowgod Artifact were piled directly on the shelves; pelts of some Saint-level magical beasts could be bought for just a few Nether Stone; and slightly higher-grade metal ores were stored in bulk in Interspatial Ring, with samples displayed in front of them.
There are still people who will buy these, especially materials for crafting weapons, which sell much better than Lowgod Spark. The Rhine Clan's original settlement also lacked minerals, a phenomenon common among the surrounding tribes.
Jason saw the remains of some Deity-level magical beasts, which appeared to have broken through to Deity-level from the Saint-level. The bones and fur of these kinds of divine beasts were relatively valuable, ranging from one hundred to two hundred Nether Stone Nether Stone.
"Found it," Landon said to Jason using his divine sense.
Jason walked over, and on the counter was a yellowish-brown metal extracted from river sand.
"Brownlight Adamantine" is tough and has excellent ductility. It has good conductivity for all Divine Power and is a high-quality refining auxiliary material. It is widely distributed in the freshwater riverbeds of the four Higher Planes and the Seven Divine Planes, and is also occasionally produced in the Material Plane.
"Five thousand Nether Stone per ton." Jason weighed the price; it wasn't cheap.
It should be noted that the density of this Brownlight Adamantine is about half that of Black Yu, and one ton of Brownlight Adamantine is only about the size of a water bucket.
(A piece of Black Yu the size of a palm weighs over a thousand kilograms.)
"But it seems like not many people are buying this Brownlight Adamantine," Landon said.
The counter, made of Brownlight Adamantine, was in the corner.
"After all, these are just auxiliary ingredients; the quality of the original Divine Artifact depends mainly on the main ingredient."
Jason and his companion, having failed to find the blue metal on the first floor, proceeded to the second floor.
The second level has many more people. Most of those capable of coming to the city are Midgod, and the demand for Midgod Artifact is not much greater than that for Lowgod Artifact.
However, the Mid Godhead remains unclaimed.
As soon as they entered the metal materials area, they saw Kasabu waiting for them and blue metal on the counter.
"Blue Crystal Jade is a variant metal formed when Black Yu is buried deep underground and tainted by Water Element. It has excellent conductivity for Lightning Element, Water Element, Wind Element, and Light Element Divine Power. Its hardness is slightly higher than Black Yu Black Yu, and its toughness is much better. It is a high-quality auxiliary material for making high-grade divine Divine Artifact prototypes, and can also be used as the main material for prototypes."
Jason looked at the description. "It changed the metal atoms after being tainted by water? Well, that's magical."
"Why are they all auxiliary ingredients?" Landon asked using his divine sense.
"Because the main material is hard to find! We come from a poor, remote area, how could we be so lucky as to find high-quality metal materials?" Kasabu quipped.
"How about we buy some other metals to take back?" Landon suggested. The three of them still had quite a few Nether Stone left, enough to buy some things on the second floor.
It's just refining metal weapons, not large-scale industrial production. Buying a hundred cubic meters of metal would be enough for the Rhine Clan to use for tens of thousands of years.
Jason shook his head. "How about we wander around after the Fiend assessment is over?"
The items on the second floor weren't of much value to the three of them, since they'd been in the Netherworld for hundreds of years, and they had Delisha's powerful backing; they already had everything they needed.
The Soul Gold Bead is in great demand for Kasabu now, after all, he is Highgod who Refine Divine Spark.
Although the family's Blue Jade Fruit has a large yield and a refreshing effect, the content of a single fruit is only one-tenth that of Soul Gold Bead. It's enough for Jason and Landon, two Midgod, but not so much for Kasabu.
Perhaps because there are many Deity-level Edicts of Death in the Netherworld, the price of Soul Gold Bead is very low, at 30,000 Nether Stone each; there is also a "pale golden liquid" that can enhance the soul, costing 5,000 Nether Stone per bottle.
"This is the ' Water of the Yellow Springs River ' produced in the Yellow Springs River within the territory of ' Torrential Prefecture ' in the eastern part of the continent. Its soul content is equal to that of the Soul Gold Bead, but its absorption rate is very low."
It is said that the source of the Yellow Springs River, the "Netherworld River Water," can directly enhance a person's understanding of the laws, but the area around the "Netherworld River Water" is fraught with danger, and even the Seven Star Fiend would not be confident of finding the "Yellow Springs." The salesperson seemed to be bored because there were few customers, and talked at length to the three of them.
Jason and Landon weren't interested, but Kasabu bought a bottle to try.
Kasabu shook his head. "This Water of the Yellow Springs River isn't very effective. I'd better buy ten Soul Gold Bead instead."
Kasabu could afford 300,000 Nether Stone.
Upon reaching the third level, there were far fewer people; most were Highgod, or Midgod who had been brought in by Highgod.
High Godhead, Highgod Artifact, soul poisons, rare ores, the remains of naturally born divine beasts, clothing with hardness comparable to or even Highgod Artifact -Midgod Artifact, and high-level Divine Artifact prototypes—
Landon set his sights on a bottle of "soul poison."
The Nether Stone given by Delisha are "public funds" and cannot be used for personal purposes. However, all three are quite powerful and have some Nether Stone on hand, so it's necessary to buy some protective items to prepare for the upcoming Fiend assessment.
The three of them had no shortage of Highgod Artifact. Although those high-quality Divine Artifact prototypes would be extremely powerful after being nurtured into Divine Artifact, the three of them did not have the time for that.
Soul poison and the Deathgod Golem are clearly the simplest and most effective life-saving items.
Highgod Artifact- grade arrows, coated with poison, cost 10,000 Nether Stone each, sold in sets of ten; Soul poison crafted by Five-Star Fiend of the Edicts of Death costs 50,000 per bottle.
(Because in the Netherworld, I've lowered the prices of all items related to the Edicts of Death.)
Clearly, poisoning is a skill. If the skill is good enough, one can poison enough arrows with a bottle of poison, which, after deducting the cost of Highgod Artifact arrows, is much cheaper than buying arrows directly.
Unfortunately, none of the three knew how.
The three of them jointly purchased fifteen poisoned arrows.
The third floor has many great things, but unfortunately, I either don't need them right now, or I can't afford them.
The three of them had no choice but to return directly to the house.
