Chapter 10: Rune-Level Arcane Shot

"A composite spell, Arcane Shot—a powerful Arcane Shot."

Gunie said so.

"Arcane Shot." Old Sam seemed to fall into thought.

Soon Old Sam nodded slightly.

"Arcane Shot is a composite spell, divided into two parts: the 'shooting main body' and the 'energy bullet.'"

"These composite spells do not belong to the current spell system."

"Their prices are also much higher than those of current spells."

"As for the shooting main body, that is, the 'Arcane Channel for Accelerated Shooting,' I have six types here."

Hearing that there were six types of Arcane Shot main barrels, Gunie felt a slight joy in his heart.

"This soul trader indeed has many good things."

"What I need are powerful Arcane Shot channel spells at the high-level or even rune-spell level." Gunie defined his scope of needs.

"The Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel, classified by current standards as a low-level rune spell, has twenty-two spell syllables and an origin power consumption of eighteen."

"That's just the regular consumption. You should know that rune spells differ from regular low-, mid-, and high-level spells, partly because they have 'repeatable syllables.' By chanting the repeatable syllables and continuously consuming more origin power, you can stack power in certain aspects."

"For example, this Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel has repeatable syllables that lengthen and thicken the shooting channel, allowing arcane bullets to fly farther and deal more damage."

As Old Sam finished his explanation.

Gunie quickly pondered in his mind.

Generally speaking, mid-level spellcasters primarily master mid-level spells as their core combat ability.

And a certain number of high-level spells as key lethal means.

But for Gunie.

At the third tier, Gunie was indeed a mid-level spellcaster.

At the same time, Gunie also mastered some formidable mid-level spells.

But Gunie's soul was strong, with a thick soul measure, coupled with the transformation of an elite-level soul.

This allowed Gunie to master a certain number of high-level spells and cast them with ease.

Moreover, as a mid-level spellcaster, Gunie could already master rune spells that only high-level spellcasters could master.

As for the Great Thunderflame Incantation, Gunie had secretly tested it many times.

Releasing it twenty or thirty times didn't put much pressure on his soul.

Clearly, Gunie could now reasonably release rune spells.

Naturally, he had to acquire the ultra-long-range sniper rune-level Arcane Shot.

"I'll take this Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel." Gunie nodded in response.

"No problem." Old Sam replied with an unchanged tone.

"Next are the arcane bullets."

"However, I don't have rune-level arcane bullets here; I only have high-level energy arcane bullets and demon-breaking arcane bullets, two types of spell bullets that can be used with Arcane Shot."

"Other bullets, like demon-hunting bullets and holy light bullets, are not compatible with Arcane Shot."

"I'll take both types of high-level bullets." At this moment, Gunie was financially robust and directly purchased what he needed.

Energy arcane bullets are solid energy bullets constructed purely by compressing energy.

Demon-breaking bullets, on the other hand, are special bullets with a powerful shield-breaking effect. Their lethality is slightly weaker than arcane bullets, but they are extremely effective against energy shields of spellcasters, shield equipment, scrolls, and the like.

"The Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel costs 6,000 gold pounds, and each of the two high-level spell bullets costs 800 gold pounds, totaling 7,600 gold pounds."

As Old Sam quoted the price, Gunie did not hesitate and directly took out 7,600 to pay for this transaction.

"The price of high-level spell bullets isn't too expensive, but the rune-level spell is really not cheap."

"However, rune spells have always been priced like this, usually starting at 5,000 gold pounds."

"But their power is worth the price."

Soon, the hidden door behind Old Sam opened.

A slab-like object and two scrolls made of special material were brought out.

"Inside the slab is the inheritance of the Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel; you can receive it through contact. The two scrolls are single-use inheritances for the two bullets; you can also receive them along the way."

"Mm." Gunie nodded.

Then he constructed a spell contact channel and began the contact inheritance.

About a minute later.

The Dark-Engraved Arcane Channel and the two bullets had been fully inherited by Gunie.

"Another rune spell in hand." Gunie silently rubbed his fingers and thought to himself.

Compared to high-level spells, the lethality of rune spells clearly jumped up a big step.

Of course, for Gunie at present, using mid-level and high-level spells in combat was the conventional and most efficient method.

After all, these spells were already at levels five or six, with considerable lethality.

Only on special occasions and when necessary would Gunie bring out these rune spells for battle.

"Young guest, do you need anything else?"

As the transaction ended, Old Sam spoke again.

"Conducting transactions in separate steps—this Old Sam is undoubtedly a soul trader."

After a moment of deliberation, Gunie slowly asked.

"Do you have a sea demon ship here?"

"I don't have a sea demon ship here, but I do have 'sea demon ship decking.' By activating the sea demon ship decking with origin power and integrating it into a merchant ship, you can still obtain a sea demon ship." Old Sam said.

"I can buy sea demon ship decking outside, and it would be cheaper." Gunie replied inwardly, simultaneously abandoning the idea of buying sea demon ship decking from Old Sam.

"Then do you have... seeds of supernatural plants?" Gunie asked again.

"Of course, I don't need ordinary supernatural seeds; I need at least elite-level, king-level, or even emperor-level powerful supernatural seeds. If you have overlord-level supernatural plant seeds, that would be even better."

"King-level, emperor-level supernatural seeds? Even overlord-level?" Old Sam raised an eyebrow and looked at Gunie.

And Gunie was not afraid of being observed.

"What do you need supernatural seeds for?"

"If you insist on asking, senior, I think we could discuss the price of this information."

"Heh... I was just asking casually. After all, in the decades I've been selling things here, few have wanted to buy supernatural seeds from me."

"So, do you have any?"

Old Sam pondered for a moment, as if searching for information about supernatural seeds.

"You're lucky, young man. I don't have king-level supernatural plant seeds, but I do have a miraculous emperor-level supernatural plant seed."

"Emperor-level supernatural plant seed?" Gunie's heart stirred slightly.

Emperor-level was on the same level as Meisha.

Moreover, among emperor-level supernatural plants, the human-faced flower was a plant-human integration, a combat-type supernatural plant.

Naturally, Gunie didn't need that kind; he needed pure supernatural plants that could produce resources.

Such as the Elf Life Tree that could produce life spring water.

Or the Hell Nether Tree that could produce 'True·Nether Source Fruits.'"

"What type is it?"

"This emperor-level supernatural plant seed is a miraculous species called the Sunflower Tree."

"Its flowers and seeds can emit eternal holy light, dispelling darkness and keeping dark creatures at bay."

"Hmm..." Gunie thought for a moment.

"This sounds like a permanent—light source."

Dispelling darkness and keeping dark creatures at bay sounds impressive, but in reality, it's only weak dark creatures that fear light sources.

Powerful supernatural beings, like the vampire Count Nighteater Gunie had encountered, could walk directly under the sun without issue.

As for even stronger dark lords or dark overlords, unless the light power is strong enough and can penetrate into their bodies, causing them harm, if you think you can scare them off with light, you'd probably need to stick the sun in their faces.

"Sounds nice, but that's about it." Gunie responded.

"Do you need it?" Old Sam asked.

"That depends on your price."

Not all supernatural plants are worth planting.

For example, a supernatural plant that mutated by absorbing special energy—an elite green bristlegrass.

The only use of planting its seed would be to occupy a planting slot.

As for this emperor-level supernatural plant, the Sunflower Tree, if the price was too high, Gunie might not take it.

After all, it was only emperor-level; even if it were an overlord-level plant, if it didn't produce resources, it had no right to occupy a planting slot.
