Plans? For now, Wang Zhong did not think too much. After the incident with Carolyn, he treated Old Cow's flower shop as his home. He had already decided to stay with Old Cow until the last moment. As for the future, he would think about it in the future.
When the sky turned completely dark, he changed into the black cloak and went straight to wolf goblin Basir's house. He was not careless and did not even have the time to sell the three burly women. Instead, he simply brought them back and tied them up in his courtyard. It was obvious that he had been busy with the Loying Fruit for the entire day.
Just as Wang Zhong had imagined, this was just a mutated Loying Fruit, and the auction house would not accept it at all. Although this fruit was rare, it was not considered precious. People would throw it away in batches when refining pills. What use would this single fruit be? It was obviously not presentable to throw it in an auction house where there were countless precious treasures. In the end, Basir went to a pill shop to sell it for 120 Star Coins.
"Senior, there is too little of this fruit. I really can't afford it." Basir was slightly perturbed. He had estimated that he would be able to buy it for 150 Star Coins. "Even so, I spent a lot of effort and used …"
Wang Zhong took the money and did not care about the nonsense that Basir said next. Indeed, it was not easy to sell a single Loying Fruit. It was worth it, but it could not be too high or too low. He was considered to be in the flower business and had a rather good understanding of the market. In his original plan, it was already not bad if he could sell it for 100 Star Coins.
"Not bad." Wang Zhong simply threw 12 Star Coins in front of him. "This is your commission. This is just the beginning. Don't run around at the end of the month."
"Yes, yes, yes! Senior, don't worry. At the end of every month, regardless of whether I have something to do or not, I will not go out even if you beat me to death! " Wolf goblin Basir was overjoyed. Even though he was only doing a small business, the 12 Star Coins on the ground were obviously not enough to attract his attention. What truly made him excited was that the cloaked expert kept his word and the possibility that he would be able to make a small profit in the future. It looked like he had passed Senior's test.
The 100 Star Coins were heavy in his hands. With money, he instantly felt different. The next morning, he went to the wholesale market. 100 Star Coins could buy a lot of things, but in the end, Wang Zhong chose half a box of Loying Fruit seeds.
Firstly, the growth period of the Loying Fruit was the shortest. Only when it grew quickly would it be able to satisfy his large consumption. Secondly, these fruits from the Divine Territory still had too many side effects. If they were not refined by an alchemist, the more abundant the spiritual energy, the greater the side effects. Right now, the Loying Fruit's effects on him were obvious. He understood its medicinal properties, side effects, and so on very well. Even his body had adapted to it. If he casually changed it, he would undoubtedly have to take a risk again, and the effects might not be as good as now.
Previously, he was willing to take the risk because he had nowhere else to go. However, now that he had a stable and efficient path, casually changing paths was the behavior of a fool. He should first maximize the effects of the Loying Fruit before doing anything else.
Half a box of high-quality Loying Fruit seeds cost 50 Star Coins. At the same time, he also bought two rune boxes that were used to store spiritual fruits from Boss Hu. They were not high-end goods, but they had a lot of space. Ordinary low-leveled spiritual fruits could be kept fresh for at least three months in these boxes. The 100 Star Coins that he had just obtained was instantly used up, but Lao Wang did not even blink.
However, it was a pity that the space in the fragment world was too small. It had an area of five to six square meters. No matter how densely he planted them, he would reach his limit after planting 40 to 50 of them. Wang Zhong even felt that there was no place for him to stand in this space. However, it seemed that the more he planted, the faster they grew. The mysterious fragment world completely defied normal thinking. This time, in just two days, the Loying Fruits had already sprouted and borne fruit.
Compared to the previous batch of Loying Fruits, there was no doubt that the quality of this batch of seeds was better. Wang Zhong had learned from Old Cow and carefully selected the seeds. However, when he finally harvested the fruits, there was no significant increase in quality. They were still exactly the same as the previous batch of Loying Fruits. They were dazzling with golden light and were the size of a fist.
It looked like this was the upper limit of the Loying Fruit variety. If the quality of the seeds was not good, the plants in the fragment world could repair them. If the quality of the seeds was good, there was no way to make up for it. They would just grow the same as before.
After holding back and not 'eating' for two to three days, his body was extremely thirsty. The golden fruits that filled the space emitted a mouthwatering fragrance that tempted Wang Zhong's weak taste buds. Let's go!
As the strength of his physical body increased and his Soul Sea gradually turned into a spirit, his body's tolerance for spiritual influence became higher and higher. He remembered that on his first day of cultivation, five Loying Fruits had filled his body to the point of overflowing. However, now, he did not feel that he had reached his limit even after consuming 10 Loying Fruits a day. Furthermore, he could foresee that as his body and power became stronger, this rate of consumption would continue to increase. Sooner or later, there would be a day when the fragment world that was merely five to six square meters would not be enough for him to eat even if he planted all the Loying Fruits.
Goodness gracious. Even now, if he sold these Loying Fruits to wolf goblin Basir, each fruit would be worth 120 Star Coins. What kind of concept was eating 10 Loying Fruits a day? Occasionally, Lao Wang would feel fearful when he calculated this. That was over 1,000 Star Coins. The Star Stone Company, which had gathered all their resources in the Holy City, only had a little over 10,000 Star Coins when he left. With his cultivation method, he would be able to eat up all the wealth of the entire human race in less than half a month!
In the divine territory, it was said that cultivation paid particular attention to techniques, wealth, companions, and land. Even though cultivation techniques were the most important, money could not be lacking.
How was this cultivation? This was simply swallowing money!
However, as long as one had money to swallow, it would feel really good.
The strength of his physical body rapidly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. His understanding of the medicinal properties of the Loying Fruit grew, and he became more familiar with the cultivation of the Devouring Heaven Technique. His improvement was truly tremendous. He could not measure or estimate his Spiritual Energy Value, but he could sense that in just a short half a month, his Soul Sea had transformed into a standard Spirit Sea.
The illusory feeling he had when he looked at his Soul Sea was no longer there. In fact, he did not even need to specifically look inside his body. As long as he closed his eyes, he could clearly sense that his entire body was enveloped in a warm and boundless sea. His Soul Power turned from a gaseous state to a liquid state and condensed in his body drop by drop. Then, it fused with his blood and flowed through his entire body.
As a result, the blood in his body became extremely vigorous, as if he had endless energy and physical strength. The gravity and spiritual pressure in the world were so weak that he could not feel them. Furthermore, once he exceeded the limits of this gravity, the instincts that he had cultivated in his hometown gradually returned. Even though he was still unable to directly mobilize the spiritual influence in the world for his own use, he could feel that his body was as light as a feather, as if he could fly just by using his own spiritual power.
A strong aura was mostly external and reflected in one's muscles, bones, and blood, causing one's muscles to be sturdy, one's face to glow, and one's aura to be powerful.
However, Wang Zhong was different. It seemed to be because of the Devouring Heaven Technique that the powerful aura in his body did not appear externally. On the contrary, it felt as if it was burrowing into his body. The capacity of his divine cells was almost endless, and the powerful aura was hidden within them. On the surface, he still looked as skinny as before and did not have much flesh on his body. If he did not take off his clothes and did not condense his aura to fight, he simply looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Even Little Lost Fox and Old Cow, who interacted with him every day, could not sense any changes in him.
However, it was a pity that no matter how much his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, he still did not have any comprehension of accumulating his Core. He did not know if he had not accumulated enough, or if it was as Old Cow had said, that accumulating his Core was not directly related to the amount of his Spiritual Energy Value. Instead, it was a kind of comprehension of his realm and the transition of his life level. If that was the case, it would be more troublesome. He would not be able to rely on closed-door training alone. He still had to learn from others. However, there was no need to rush. At the very least, he would wait until his Spiritual Energy Value had accumulated to a sufficient level before thinking of ways to sell the spiritual fruits for money, obtain techniques, or find an expert to guide him. This would definitely prevent him from taking many detours compared to bitterly training alone.
He harvested the thousands of Loying Fruits once every two or three days, and he harvested 50 of them each time. Other than his daily consumption, Wang Zhong stored the rest of the fruits in the two massive rune boxes. He had already accumulated several hundred Loying Fruits, but for now, he did not have any plans to ask wolf goblin Basir for money. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. The stronger he was, the more secure his business would be. He felt that he was very strong, but he did not have a powerful reference. After all, wolf goblin was a bottom-level merchant and was not a combat type. In any case, these boxes could keep the fruits fresh for a period of time. For the time being, this batch of resources was enough to deal with his current cultivation. There was no need to rush.
Wang Zhong had been paying attention to the matters in the Heavenly Treasures Street. In the end, the negotiations between the Chamber of Commerce and the Wretch Sea race had collapsed. There were only about one to two hundred individual merchants in the Heavenly Treasures Street, and less than half of them had joined the Chamber of Commerce. 200,000 Star Coins meant that each person would have to spend 2,000 to 3,000 Star Coins. Large shops like Old Cow could grit their teeth and deal with this, but some small shops were truly helpless. Many of them wanted to retreat. In addition, there were some who cried that they were poor, wanted to blame others, and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor. In addition, they were afraid of the Shell Shade Faction deep in their bones and were only willing to shout from the side but were not willing to put in any effort. In the end, they could not even gather 100,000 Star Coins, let alone 200,000.
The matter of asking the Wretch Sea race for help was not settled. The other large powers in the Catanlyke District also went to ask for help. However, it was very obvious that the Chamber of Commerce did not have enough money and could not afford to pay a sufficient price. Why would they fight head-on with the Shell Shade Faction just for a few tens of thousands of Star Coins? If this was in the past, some of the large powers might have casually agreed. However, now that Yin Jiao had entered the Heavenly Gates array, his future was limitless. Other people did not dare to touch him, but at the very least, no one was willing to cause trouble for him without paying a sufficient price.
However, the Heavenly Treasures Chamber of Commerce did not give up and begged everywhere. In the end, they managed to ask for help from a powerful person.
