The trading palace had always been very popular, and it would always be packed with people. In the entire South Rudra Region, only the Martial City's trading palace had the most treasures and spirit plants. Although the other big countries also had similar cities for warriors, they were still not as good as the Martial City.
"Mid rank great weapon, Light Spear, obtained from the Blood Demon Battlefield in the Star Region Lake. The starting price is thirty thousand mid rank soul stones. The highest bidder wins."
Once he entered the trading palace, Ye Chen saw someone selling a mid rank great weapon. It was a long spear with a colorful light. The tip of the spear was shining with a cold light, giving people a feeling that it was indestructible. It was definitely one of the top mid rank great weapons.
"What? A mid rank great weapon? Let's go check it out. "
"How could the things from the Blood Demon Battlefield be bad? That place is full of danger and opportunities. There are unimaginable treasures there."
The seller yelled out casually. Immediately, four to five Astral Reaching Realm warriors surrounded him.
"Blood Demon Battlefield!" Ye Chen had heard about the Blood Demon Battlefield before. It was said that it was just like the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region, which had existed since the ancient era. There were a lot of Blood Demons inside, which were divided into low rank Blood Demons, low rank Blood Demons, middle rank Blood Demons, top rank Blood Demons, and the extremely horrifying Blood Demon Generals and Blood Demon Kings. Blood Demon Battlefield was more like a small space than a battlefield. Of course, this small space was way bigger than the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region, and it was divided into two layers. The first layer was for low rank Blood Demons and middle rank Blood Demons, while the second layer was for mid rank Blood Demons and top rank Blood Demons.
"Although it is a bit troublesome, after I reach the Astral Reaching Realm, I will still need to change my Star Scar Sword. Blood Demon Battlefield will be my second destination."
After making up his mind, Ye Chen decided to go to the Blood Demon Battlefield to find a mid rank great sword. A mid rank great sword would be able to increase the attacking power by thirty to forty percent, which was a must have for all Astral Reaching Realm sword artists.
The trading palace was huge. It was miles in radius, almost as big as a small town.
"Eh? It's an alchemist!"
Arriving at the center of the trading hall, Ye Chen's gaze landed on a white-bearded old man. The old man was dressed in a long robe that had an alchemy cauldron embroidered on it. With a single glance, one could tell that it was the unique clothing of an alchemist. In front of him, there was a crystal counter with all sorts of pills on it. There were pills to recover Zhen Yuan, pills to mend meridians, pills to speed up the recovery of Zhen Yuan, and there was even a thumb-sized unknown pill that shone with starlight.
There were quite a lot of Astral Reaching Realm warriors in front of the crystal counter. They were all very respectful, not daring to make any noise. From this, one could tell that this alchemist in his sixties was not a simple person.
"Pill Elder, give me a bottle of Miraculous Spirit Pills for repairing meridians."
"Pill Elder, I still owe you a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones from last time. I'll pay you back in one lump sum."
As they spoke, Ye Chen walked over.
"Is this the Earth Star Pill?" Ye Chen pointed at the thumb-sized pill on the crystal counter and asked.
The old man nodded, "Indeed. The Earth Star Pill can increase the cultivation of Astral Reaching Realm warriors, but it cannot help them make a breakthrough. Little friend, do you want to buy it?"
Ye Chen looked at the price. One thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones for one was indeed expensive, but he did not care. In this world where power was everything, everything had to be for the sake of improving one's power.
"Give me five of them, and two bottles of each of the other three types of pills."
The Pill Elder was a bit surprised. Seeing that Ye Chen was so young, he seemed to be quite rich. With all these pills added together, it would be more than ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones. Of course, the more pills Ye Chen bought, the happier he would be. He smiled and said, "Five Earth Star Pills would be five thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, two bottles of Seven Star Pills for recovering zhen yuan would be one thousand two hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, two bottles of Miraculous Spirit Pills for accelerating zhen yuan recovery would be one thousand five hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, and two bottles of Miraculous Spirit Pills for repairing meridians would be three thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones. In total, it would be ten thousand and seven hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones. Little friend, since this is your first time here, I won't take the seven hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, just ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones would be enough."
"Alright, here you go!"
Ye Chen took out a box filled with mid-grade Spirit Stones from his storage ring and placed it on the floor in front of the Pill Elder.
After the transaction, Ye Chen walked around for a bit. Seeing that there was nothing else that caught his eye, he left the trading palace and came to the training room lobby inside the city.
In front of the platform was still the beautiful lady. It was her first time seeing such a young Astral Reaching Realm warrior. She felt that he looked familiar, but she was not sure. She said with respect, "Excuse me, would you like a high rank training room or a top rank training room?" The training rooms were divided into four ranks: low rank, mid rank, high rank, and top rank. Among them, only Astral Reaching Realm warriors had the right to use the high rank and top rank. Below the Astral Reaching Realm, no matter how many spirit stones one had, one would not be able to go in and train. This was the rule of the Martial City.
Ye Chen said, "How much for a top rank training room?"
"The top rank training room would cost thirty thousand low-rank spirit stones a day. If you pay with mid-rank spirit stones, it would be five hundred." The lady answered honestly.
"Pay the low-rank spirit stones. These are the spirit stones for three days." Ye Chen thought about it and decided to pay the low-rank spirit stones. Although paying with mid-rank spirit stones seemed a bit cheaper, since five hundred mid-rank spirit stones were equivalent to twenty-five thousand low-rank spirit stones, for him, there were not many opportunities for him to use low-rank spirit stones. Mid-rank spirit stones were very useful. Sometimes, fifty low-rank spirit stones might not even be enough for one mid-rank spirit stone.
Of course, for most of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors, Ye Chen's mid-rank spirit stones were shocking. After killing five Astral Reaching Realm warriors, he had gotten one hundred thousand mid-rank spirit stones. Adding his own, he had one hundred and sixty thousand mid-rank spirit stones in total. He had just spent ten thousand on the pellets, so he still had one hundred and fifty thousand left.
In comparison, Ye Chen had even more low-rank spirit stones, which were piled up like a mountain. He had gotten more than one million low-rank spirit stones from the five Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Adding his own, it had reached three million and five hundred thousand. It was a frightening amount of wealth, even richer than a rank 9 martial school, and comparable to some of the weaker rank 8 martial schools.
Taking the jade tag, Ye Chen was led to the training room area in the back by the attendant.
"Thirty thousand low-rank spirit stones a day, that would be three hundred thousand low-rank spirit stones in ten days. This training room is quite profitable."
While thinking, Ye Chen arrived outside a courtyard.
"This is the third top rank training room. Sir, please come in." The attendant opened the door for Ye Chen and bowed respectfully.
Ye Chen nodded and took out thirty low-rank spirit stones, throwing them to the attendant, "This is your tip."
"Thank you!"
The attendant was very excited.
The top rank training room was a bit wider than the mid-rank training room. Once he entered, Ye Chen could feel the temperature around him rising. However, staying inside did not make him feel hot at all. On the contrary, his body felt very warm, and his slowly circulating Zhen yuan started to boil.
As his soul power spread out, Ye Chen could see the value of the top rank training room. The qi rising from the ground was not light red, but dark red, which was way more than the mid-rank training room. The materials on the walls were not simple either. Once the dark red qi touched it, it bounced back immediately, moving closer to the center of the training room, forming an extremely dense spherical area.
"The fire qi of the Earth Evil Zhen Qi is more than ten times denser than the mid-rank training room. It is indeed a top rank training room. I wonder what it would be like to train near the Earth Evil Zhen Fire."
Slowly letting out a breath, Ye Chen sat on the cushion in the middle of the training room with his eyes slightly closed, entering the training mode.
After a while, he opened his eyes, "It seems like I only need one Earth Astral Pellet. I was already not far from the peak level Early Astral Reaching Realm. Combined with this top rank training room, it would be much easier."
Taking out the thumb-sized Earth Astral Pellet, Ye Chen stuffed it into his mouth.
…
Three days later …
Ye Chen had reached the peak level Early Astral Reaching Realm as he wished. His Zhen yuan was fifty percent denser than three days ago, but the purity did not increase much, since the purity would increase along with the realm. Going from the Early Astral Reaching Realm to the peak level did not count as a realm increase.
"The Earth Astral Pellet is indeed mysterious. Besides not being able to help me make a breakthrough, it has a huge effect on increasing my cultivation, saving me a lot of time."
Continuing to train was already useless, since reaching the Mid Astral Reaching Realm was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Next, Ye Chen's target was the sword intent.
The training field of the top rank training room was extremely vast. From east to west, it was three to four hundred meters long, which was much bigger than a big family's yard.
Absorbing the sword intent from the sword-shaped plant, Ye Chen held the broken Battle Emperor's sword and threw out a sword attack onto the training column in front of him.
Swoosh!
The material of the training column was close to a low-rank great weapon, and it only left a three-inch deep sword mark. The immortal sword intent spread out with the sword mark as the center. The good thing was that it was not too wide, and it did not go beyond the training field. Otherwise, it would cause some trouble.
Being covered by the sword intent, Ye Chen calmed himself down and started to train.
Soon, half a month had passed.
Ye Chen opened his eyes, "Just as I expected, the closer I am to the completion, the harder it is to train. During this half a month, I have used up eight sword-shaped plants in total, but it only increased my sword intent from ninety-three percent to ninety-five percent. I wonder how many sword-shaped plants I will need to fill up the remaining gap."
Without much hesitation, Ye Chen continued to take out the sword-shaped plants …
Seven days passed.
"There are only two sword-shaped plants left. There is no chance for me to reach the completion."
Forcing a smile, Ye Chen shook his head. Although he had prepared for it, the difficulty of training the sword intent was still beyond his expectation. No wonder the sword elder, who was one of the top ten sword artists in the South Rudra Region, was still stuck at ninety percent sword intent. He wondered who among the other nine sword artists had reached the completion, and who had learned the completed sword intent. Only by reaching the completed sword intent would one be able to reach the higher realms.
…
The last two sword-shaped plants had finally been used up.
Right now, Ye Chen's sword intent had stopped at ninety-seven percent, which was only a tiny bit away from the completion. And this tiny bit would take a lot of years to reach. But of course, Ye Chen's sword intent contained the immortal mentality, which could compete with the completed sword intent, which was his advantage.
"It is time to leave. Next stop, the Blood Demon Battlefield in the Star Region Lake!"
After resting for a day, Ye Chen had stayed in the top rank training room for a whole month. He had paid nine hundred thousand low rank soul stones, but the good thing was that it was worth it. Right now, he only needed an opportunity to reach the Mid Astral Reaching Realm.
