Hearing the old man's words, Ye Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "What I'm looking for is a task that my master gave me when I graduated. He asked me to find a casting material called Black Soul Gold.
However, I have been asking about it for a long time, but no one has ever heard of this kind of thing, let alone seen it or found relevant information.
That’s why I came to the library to look, hoping to find relevant records in the books about casting materials.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, the old man was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking. After a moment, he said: "You can't find any relevant records about Black Soul Gold here, because even I have never heard of the existence of Black Soul Gold."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, a little confused. Is there any connection between the two sentences the other party said
"Senior, just because you have never heard of such material, does that mean it is not recorded in the library? I don't quite understand."
Ye Li said doubtfully.
The old man smiled and said, "My name is Bookworm. I have read all the books here. The Black Soul Gold you are looking for is definitely not recorded here.
It is very likely that the material name you mentioned is wrong, for example, you misheard what your master said, or your master deliberately gave you a wrong name to mislead you and increase the difficulty of your search. "
Hearing the old man say that he had read all the books here, Ye Li unconsciously revealed a hint of doubt on his face. This building is seven stories high, and there are countless volumes of books. It is simply impossible to read all the books here and remember them.
Even if a cultivator's spiritual power and soul far surpass those of ordinary people and his memory is extraordinary, Ye Li does not think that anyone can read and remember the contents of all the books here.
Seeing the doubtful look on Ye Li's face, the old man smiled again and said, "Anyway, I said there is no record of black soul gold here, so there is definitely no record of black soul gold.
But if you can tell me some of the properties of the material 'Black Soul Gold', maybe I can tell you some other information."
After hearing the old man's words, Ye Li was silent for a moment. He really didn't know much about the relevant information about Black Soul Gold. At least he was not even sure about its color and size.
Although Black Soul Gold has the word "black" in its name, no one knows whether it is actually black. After all, there are many materials for casting instruments that have completely different names and appearances.
After thinking for a while, Ye Li said with a try-it attitude: "I don't even know what the thing I found looks like. The only property I know is that this material should be able to store souls or soul power."
After hearing Ye Li's words, the old man was silent for a moment again, and said: "I got it, these books have recorded four kinds of casting materials that can store souls.
The first one is in the third book from the left on the third shelf on your right, the second one is in the seventeenth book from the left on the fifth shelf, and the third one…”
The old man did not tell Ye Li what the four materials were, but only read out the locations of the four books.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "Senior Bookworm, why don't you tell me what these four materials are?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Bookworm showed a very serious expression on his face and said: "The knowledge in the book is yours only after you have read it yourself. I will not tell you the specific content.
If you want to know what these four materials are, you must read these four books yourself.
Young man, I have saved you a lot of effort by telling you the locations of the four books. If you don’t check them out yourself, you will miss a lot of valuable information.
Well, I have stayed here long enough. Two new books were delivered this morning and I haven't had time to read them yet."
When the old man talked about the new book, his originally serious expression suddenly became excited. He didn't intend to say anything more to Ye Li, and his body crashed into the wall next to him.
Under Ye Li's surprised gaze, a secret door on the wall suddenly opened and the old man's figure disappeared into the door.
After the old man disappeared, the secret door on the wall closed again, and no clues could be seen from the outside.
"So he just came out from here, no wonder I didn't notice anyone approaching me.
This bookworm senior is really weird. I don’t know if I can trust what he says.”
Ye Li said to Tunri.
Tunri thought for a moment and said, "This guy seems to be the manager of this library. He has no ill will towards you. You might as well listen to him first and take a look at the books he just mentioned."
Hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li nodded and said, "Well, well, I'll first take a look at the books he just mentioned to see which four types of casting materials can absorb and store souls."
As Ye Li spoke, he walked to the bookshelf next to him and began to take out the four books one by one as the old man had just said.
After finding the books, Ye Li sat on the ground and carefully examined the four books.
This time he read the book a little slower. After all, if he read too fast, he might miss some information.
These four books were very thick. Ye Li spent a whole day to finish reading them all. As the bookworm said, the four books recorded a total of four types of materials.
However, through the above text description, Ye Li has determined that the names of two of the materials are different from those on the Black Eye Continent, but the things are definitely already available on the Black Eye Continent.
Ye Li thought that these two materials should be ruled out. They were definitely not Black Soul Gold. Otherwise, those outsiders would have just searched for them directly on the Black Eye Continent and would not have had to come all the way here.
As for the remaining two casting materials, one is called Soul Gathering Stone, which has the function of condensing the power of the soul; the other is called Soul Realm Essence Gold, which can form a soul space in the material to accommodate the soul power or the soul to enter directly.
Both of these materials are relatively difficult to find, with Realm Soul Gold being the hardest to come by. Although the quantity cannot be said to be scarce, its origin is indeed a mystery, and not many people know where they come from.
The book does record two places where there might be soul-gathering stones and world soul gold, but the author is not quite sure about this information.
After all, few people use these two materials, so no one has been looking for them specifically.
After Ye Li integrated the information he had obtained, he said to Tunri, "Senior Tunri, it seems that both of these materials could be black soul gold, but I don't know which one it is. It seems that I must find both materials and give them a try."
Tunri nodded and said, “At least now we have saved ourselves most of the trouble. Now that we know the existence of these two materials, we have a direction to look for them.
Then you can go to other shops and ask around to see if anyone can get these two materials, or know where to get them.”
