The Only Hope
Before the auctioneer had even announced the results, many people had already started to leave, especially those in the private rooms above.
If they left now, it would prove that they had nothing to do with the person who possessed such a large amount of Star Core Origins. If they left after the transaction was completed, they would definitely attract some suspicious gazes.
That would be unnecessary trouble.
Of course, there were still many people who remained in the private rooms. For example, Ye Xuan and the girl in the purple dress were definitely still in the private rooms because the two of them were currently in the middle of a transaction.
The other party was rather generous. He directly placed the six tubes of pale gold level-8 genetic cultivation fluid into a space box and sent it to Ye Xuan's private room through the auction center's directional transmission array.
After checking and confirming that there were no mistakes, Ye Xuan flipped his hand and sent it into the Undying World. Then, he took out another space box. Inside it was a level-9, nine-colored Star Core Origin.
He placed the space box on the coffee table in front of him. Before Ye Xuan pressed the green button to send it to the other party, his hand suddenly paused.
Then, he said, "Can I request to speak to the other party?"
This small request was quickly answered by the Skyriver Auction Center's artificial intelligence. The answer was naturally affirmative.
Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and pressed the green button. Soon, the small space box disappeared and should be in the other party's hands in the next instant.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, the girl's voice suddenly rang out from the private room's sound transmission system. "Actually, Zi Ying would like to have a small chat with you. It's mainly to express my gratitude. It's not just the cube of level-7 purple Star Core Origin, but also the cube of level-6 blue Star Core Origin from the Purple Lightning Shuttle. These high-grade Star Core Origins are indeed things that I urgently need. Originally, it would be very difficult to obtain them in such a short time here."
The other party's words were meant to test him. On the other hand, there was no doubt that she was implying that if they weren't here, it wouldn't be very difficult for her to obtain these things.
This was a type of pinching gesture. It was obvious that he could tell that Ye Xuan had a request for her.
Ye Xuan sighed in his heart at Zi Ying's shrewdness. Since she was a straightforward person, there was no need for him to hide anything. He smiled faintly and replied, "It's just as I expected. Fellow Daoist Zi Ying is straightforward. I am Ye Xuan, and I would like to thank Fellow Daoist for the six vials of eighth-grade cultivation fluid. These are also things that I urgently need!"
"Did you ask to speak to me just to express your gratitude? First of all, I have enough high-quality Star Core Sources. In fact, I don't need that Level 9 Nine-Colored Star Core at all. I plan to keep it for my collection. After all, this kind of thing is rare even in the Imperial Capital! "
Zi Ying's voice came from the sound transmission system again, "Considering that you've helped me a lot this time, if you have any other requests, I can do my best to help you. The Heavenly River Planet … isn't very peaceful after all! "
This was a very obvious hint. She was clearly telling Ye Xuan that if he didn't have the confidence to escape, she could lend him a helping hand. After all, with her background, no one on the Heavenly River Planet would dare to attack her.
Of course, this woman's cultivation must be extraordinary. Otherwise, how could she dare to come to the remote Graveyard Star Field alone from the Imperial Capital?
Ye Xuan naturally understood the meaning behind her words. However, he didn't intend to accept it.
On one hand, Ye Xuan didn't have the habit of accepting favors for nothing. On the other hand, he was confident that he could leave safely.
Of course, the most important thing was that he didn't want to waste this opportunity and wanted to use it where it was more needed. Even though his attitude wasn't bad right now, it was obvious that he had a high and mighty attitude. If Ye Xuan were to accept his protection, then if he were to ask about the Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluid again, he would truly be shameless and have no self-awareness at all.
Thinking of all this, Ye Xuan immediately thanked him. Then, he changed the topic, "Fellow Daoist Zi Ying, I do have something to ask you. If you know about it, I hope you can help me. I will be very grateful."
"Uh, as far as I know, there's a Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluid below the Level 8 Gene Cultivation Fluid.
"That's enough. You don't have to ask anymore!"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to finish, Zi Ying decisively interrupted him, "I think you're dreaming. There is indeed a Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluid, but only a certain existence on the Immortal Star of the Everlasting Dynasty's imperial capital can produce it. There are only a dozen vials a year, and most of them are used up on the Immortal Star. Each year, the three Great Imperial Capitals can only get one vial. Do you think I have something like that on me?"
When she said this, Zi Ying's tone was clearly different from before. There was a hint of embarrassment and anger in her voice, which puzzled Ye Xuan very much.
However, if he knew that Zi Ying was from the Xuanyuan family, one of the three families in Tianming Nation's imperial capital, Tianming Planet, who were able to concoct the level-eight gene cultivation fluid, he would be able to understand the situation.
This girl was clearly indignant about the existence on the Undying Planet that could concoct the level-nine gene cultivation fluid, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't accept it even if she didn't want to. That was why she was so embarrassed and angry when the level-nine item was mentioned.
"Alright, let's end the conversation here. The Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluid is definitely not something you can dream of, so I advise you to give up on it. Not to mention that it rarely flows out of the Immortal Star, even if it was right in front of you, you wouldn't be able to exchange for it. Can you take out at least ten Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluids with nine colors?"
Just as Ye Xuan was pondering why the other party was suddenly displeased, the voice of the mysterious woman named Zi Ying sounded out once again. This time, it was slightly more relaxed. It was obvious that she knew that she had vented her anger on Ye Xuan earlier. "Of course, it's not completely impossible …"
"Don't even think about the three tubes that the three Great Imperial Capitals give you every year. However, the Immortal Star keeps the other eleven tubes. Every year, one tube will be handed over to the Wan Luo Federation for experts with large amounts of Federation Contribution Points to exchange for it. This is the only way to obtain it."
"However, it's also out of reach for you because if you want to exchange for a tube of Level 9 Gene Cultivation Fluid, you need ten million Federation Contribution Points. Go to the Heaven, Earth, and Man Rankings and you'll know how terrifying ten million points are …"
At this point, she suddenly sighed and continued, "However, I advise you to think about the current crisis. To be honest, I have a good impression of you, but I have my principles. I gave you a chance just now, but you rejected it. Therefore, this time, I can only wish you a safe journey. I hope that we'll meet again in the future! Take care … "
