Lin Yuan had chosen the chain blade for the Source Sand’s Metal Consume Manifestation first form because it was good for attack, defense, and control.
However, he chose to enhance his self-protection capabilities for the second form change.
There were only two ways to enhance one’s self-protection capabilities. One was to enhance the ability to resist blows, while the other was to enhance one’s speed and dodging abilities.
Regardless of which one it was, they were an excellent choice for enhancing protection.
Lin Yuan was a person with a mature mind, so he wanted to do all of them.
Previously, the Source Sand was only a Bronze X/Fantasy I source-type item. Thus, Lin Yuan had chosen the strong and sharp ferromanganese with metal characteristics that could be used with the chain blade to deal damage to a target.
Even though the Source Sand was a Gold Fantasy Breed, Lin Yuan still did not intend to replace the ferromanganese. The lower the grade of the metal, the more metals the Source Sand could devour.
Therefore, Lin Yuan intended to let the Source Sand devour a large amount of ferromanganese.
For the other metal choice, he planned to choose a Gold metal. All the metals in this world were priced according to their weight. But there was a kind of metal that was excluded—the Day and Night Spirit Silver.
The Day and Night Spirit Silver had almost no weight, so its price was dependent on its volume. It was an extremely black metal. Such an extreme black could make someone feel as though the Day and Night Spirit Silver could absorb the surrounding light.
However, after channeling spirit qi, it would become an extremely white color. This white was like the mutton fat jade. Although it did not emit any light, it would make people have an illusion that the Day and Night Spirit Silver could do so. This was also how it had gotten its name.
The Black Day and Night Spirit Silver only had one metal characteristic—sharpness.
As a Gold metal, a thin piece of Day and Night Spirit Silver could cut other Gold metals. It did not rely on cutting strength but the Day and Night Spirit Silver’s sharpness.
However, with an input of spirit qi, the Day and Night Spirit Silver would become white and very flexible. It could rapidly disperse the attack to the surrounding air.
The White Day and Night Spirit Silver only had one kind of metal characteristic—Shock Absorption Cushioning.
This metal characteristic allowed the Day and Night Spirit Silver to become a metal with an extremely strong defense.
Lin Yuan planned to let the Source Sand’s Metal Consume Manifestation devour the Day and Night Spirit Silver as its second type of metal.
He left the Spirit Lock spatial zone and logged onto Star Web with his identity as a Creation Master. He went to the Star Web’s Rare Lifeform Pavilion to inquire about ferromanganese and the Day and Night Spirit Silver.
He found a lot of information about the ferromanganese, but there was only one piece of news about the Day and Night Spirit Silver.
Ten cubic meters of Day and Night Spirit Silver was up for auction in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion for 20,000,000 Radiance dollars.
Lin Yuan did not feel that the price of this Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver was inflated. On the contrary, the 20,000,000 Radiance dollars price was not enough to buy the ten cubic meters of the Day and Night Spirit Silver.
He actually did not need so much of this metal, but only one cubic meter, as he intended to let the Source Sand devour more ferromanganese.
A metal like the Day and Night Spirit Silver was simply too rare, and Lin Yuan did not have any access to it.
However, Lin Yuan did not want to bother his Master, the Moon Empress, either.
He sent a private message to the Day and Night Spirit Silver’s sellers through the Rare Lifeform Pavilion.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Boss, I want to buy a cubic meter of the Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver in the Star Web Rare Lifeform Pavilion. I can offer 5,000,000 Radiance dollars.”
After sending the message, Lin Yuan continued to buy ferromanganese in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion. There was no shortage of ferromanganese there, but many sellers sold ferromanganese at 5,000 kilograms.
For those buyers who needed little ferromanganese, it was a very big burden. However, this was just what Lin Yuan wanted.
After a big purchase, he bought nearly 100,000 kilograms of ferromanganese. He could not guarantee how much ferromanganese the Gold I/Fantasy I Source Sand could devour, but after it devoured one cubic meter of Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver, these 100,000 kilograms of Bronze ferromanganese would definitely be enough.
Just after buying the ferromanganese, Lin Yuan noticed that the seller he had sent a message to had replied.
Ushering in Wealth and Prosperity: “5,000,000 Radiance dollars is too low. I’m not selling (nose-pick emoji).”
When Lin Yuan saw the seller’s message, he frowned.
The ten cubic meters of Day and Night Spirit Silver would never exceed 4,800,000 Radiance dollars even after being sold at the end of the auction ten days later.
Therefore, Lin Yuan had offered 5,000,000 Radiance dollars to buy one cubic meter of Day and Night Spirit Silver, which was already very sincere.
From the other party’s attitude and nose-pick emoji, Lin Yuan could feel that the other party was not sincere in selling it. However, he still replied patiently.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “5,500,000 Radiance dollars for one cubic meter of Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver. Is that okay, Boss?”
Ushering in Wealth and Prosperity: “I’ll consider selling it to you if you offer 6,000,000 Radiance dollars.”
When Lin Yuan saw the reply, he closed the chat window. Although Lin Yuan was not short of money, he would not waste his money like an idiot.
Lin Yuan could obtain the Gold Day and Night Spirit Silver if he really wanted to. Why let someone deceive him with such an attitude?
He returned to his fey store and posted a purchasing request. In fact, instead of saying that he issued a purchasing request, it would be better to say that it was a bartering request.
The message he posted was:
“I’m using a Bronze/Epic fey of your choice to exchange for one cubic meter of Day and Night Spirit Silver and two source-type items.”
Lin Yuan did not immediately go offline after posting it but went back to the Rare Lifeform Pavilion to pick up some spiritual ingredients that were not available in Zhou Jiaxin’s store and that he needed.
At the same time, his Star Web account totally exploded while he was looking for spiritual ingredients in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion. When Lin Yuan checked his notifications, countless messages flooded his chat!
