Clay is a veteran lower-level god, a fact that Karl knew long ago.
Moreover, in Hell, many people only mention their surname once when introducing themselves, such as Karl himself, whose full name is Karl Talos.
This name can be used by some people who prefer to call him by his first name, such as Karl, and by others who prefer to call him by his last name, such as Talos.
If someone is addressed by their full name in certain situations, it indicates that they have some influence in hell.
Lars is a small family in the Blood Tiger Tribe, with fewer than twenty members. However, among these fewer than twenty members are three mid-level gods, one of whom achieved mid-level godhood on his own and is a captain in the Blood Tiger Tribe's army.
Clay was able to spend his days either raising the Red Tiger or recruiting newly arrived god-level powerhouses from Hell because he had powerful backers.
In Hell, people who have just come from the material plane only need one inkstone to join a family or tribe, simply because these people only have one.
If someone were to solicit this piece of inkstone, a small portion of it would fall into the hands of the solicitor.
Little by little, Clay's wealth naturally exceeded that of ordinary lower-ranking gods.
Meanwhile, Clay had set up a stall, displaying six artifacts, four of which were material attack artifacts, including knives, swords, and...
One room contained a staff and an axe, while the other two contained defensive artifacts: a cloak and a suit of armor.
"Go away, stop interrupting me." Clay laughed and scolded, then said seriously, "I sell these lower-level offensive artifacts for seven inkstones, which is one inkstone cheaper than in the tribe. As for defensive artifacts, I sell them for twenty-two inkstones. If you two also have artifacts, it's best if you don't disagree on the price."
"What if it's a soul defense artifact?" Karl asked softly.
"A soul defense artifact? Even high-level gods might not possess that. However, there are countless powerful beings in Hell. The prerequisite for crafting a soul defense artifact is having an extremely high level of mastery over the soul. I can't think of any low-level god who could do it." Clay said with a faint smile, treating Karl's question as a sign of ignorance.
Hearing Clay's answer, Karl gained a deeper understanding of the importance of the soul defense artifact.
After all, there was a mid-level god in Clay's family, and the captains of mid-level gods were basically the confidants of the tribal chief, who was a high-level god.
Relationships sometimes unfold layer by layer, and so does some information.
Karl would never reveal that he possessed a soul defense artifact; if people found out, they would definitely question him about its origin.
As for the possibility of being murdered and robbed, that possibility is actually low.
After all, those who truly understand the craft know that the prerequisite for creating a soul defense artifact is having an extremely high level of mastery over the soul. This level of mastery cannot be achieved simply by comprehending profound mysteries; it requires at least fusing with profound mysteries, and the mysteries fused with must be extremely adept at the soul aspect.
Even so, not every powerful expert who has mastered profound mysteries can create a soul defense artifact.
Conversely, a powerful individual capable of creating a soul defense artifact is most likely a seven-star demon at the very least.
If someone knew that Karl possessed a soul defense artifact, some would be envious, but most would be wary of Karl's powerful background.
Although Karl came to Hell alone, it doesn't mean that there aren't top-tier experts in his hometown.
This situation is even more worrying.
A powerful being who can break through the God Realm and return to the Material Realm is someone that many high-ranking gods can only look up to.
Following Clay's example, Carl sat down cross-legged beside him, with a cotton cloth in front of him.
Seeing the confusion in Newt's eyes, Carl didn't explain anything, but instead placed a few things on the cotton cloth.
The three offensive artifacts are all sword-shaped weapons, and the three defensive artifacts are all armor-like. In addition to the two artifacts, Karl also placed a few other items.
One soul-golden bead, three amethyst crystals.
Although Karl's reputation was not prominent in the Blood Tiger Tribe, after all, he was only a lower-level god and belonged to the bottom of the tribe. However, most of the lower-level gods in the vicinity were recruited by Karl over the years, and they habitually set up stalls in the same area on trading days so that they could look out for each other.
When Karl placed the three offensive artifacts, the surrounding lower-level gods were only slightly surprised, after all, a lower-level artifact requires a lower-level god to nurture it for tens of thousands of years to form.
Three artifacts, and all of the same style. The surrounding lower-level gods all knew that either there was a lower-level god who had lived for 30,000 years, or at least three lower-level gods who were simultaneously nurturing the artifacts.
When Karl took out the three defensive artifacts, the others were somewhat surprised, but they had already begun to speculate about Karl's background in the material plane.
Anyone with eyes can see that these six artifacts are all standardized. It's not that standardized artifacts are bad, but the fact that they are all the same style means that there is an assembly line behind them.
But when Karl took out the Soul Gold Bead, everyone's eyes fell on Karl's hand.
"The Golden Pearl of the Soul!"
Many people's eyes lit up when they saw the bead in Karl's hand, which was only two or three centimeters in size.
"Ninety-five thousand inkstones, brother, are you selling?" a burly man with red hair shouted loudly.
"You wish! Brother, this is 98,000 for me, let's be friends," another man in black robes said with a smile.
After the two, others came up with their prices, but they all stuck to their own prices, with the highest being only 99,500 inkstones.
After all, a Soul Gold Pearl costs 100,000 Ink Stones in Beihai City, but since this is not Beihai City, it naturally won't sell for that price.
However, the people around him also knew that it was pointless to offer such a low price. After all, it was impossible to get something worth 100,000 inkstones for 70,000 or 80,000.
Karl had his own reasons for taking out the Soul Gold Bead.
I have been a member of the Blood Tiger Tribe for more than ten years, and I have never had the idea of raising a red tiger. Although a god-level expert can go without food and water, he still needs interpersonal relationships to some extent.
Just like Newt and Clay, who were close friends of Cal, their importance to each other differed when it came to matters.
Like Clay, although he seems to be all smiles at Carl, it's because Clay needs to recruit others and maintain good relationships with those he recruits, which is more beneficial to Clay.
As for Newt, it's purely a friendship.
If Karl only sells a few artifacts, he can only be said to have a modicum of wealth.
But among those lower-ranking gods in hell who have existed for thousands of years, who doesn't have some inkstones as a family fortune?
As for the lower-level gods bidding in front of Karl, they are most likely related to mid-level gods.
However, this has nothing to do with Karl, since he was able to produce standard lower-level artifacts, as well as Soul Gold Beads and Amethyst.
This is enough to make some people with ulterior motives overthink things.
