As Qin Di walked through the Ruins of Immortality, he heard people shouting from time to time:
"Ape Demon Hunters, a team of five, still missing two people! Second stage Sky Immortal and above! "
"Ape Demon Hunters, a team of ten, still missing two newcomers, no level limit, life or death is up to fate!"
"We're only missing one person, and we're about to set off … The leader is a seventh stage Sky Immortal, so safety is guaranteed …"
Hunting teams like this would lose more than half of their members once they set off, so they had to recruit new members before they left.
But many cultivators who came here didn't dare to casually join other teams.
Choosing a suitable team was a technical task, and the difficulty was no less than reincarnating.
Many newcomers died outside, and only a small portion of them died at the hands of ape demons. The other half died at the hands of their companions.
As for the experienced ones, they'd already made appointments with friends and family before coming here. They were all people who knew each other well, so it was safer.
Qin Di walked around the Ruins of Immortality and found many stalls, some of which sold immortal materials and low-grade immortal artifacts. For example, the fur of ape demons could be made into ape fur coats. It wasn't worth much here, but it would be a treasure in the Northern Starfield. Another example was the bones of ape demons, which could be refined into low-grade immortal artifacts, which were treasures favored by the Bone Sect and some heretical cultivators. There were also low-grade immortal artifacts of human Sky Immortals, which were picked up by these people who died outside. These things weren't expensive, and could be bought for a few thousand or even tens of thousands of immortal stones. It was even possible to buy a whole bunch of them with a thousand immortal stones!
A thousand immortal stones didn't seem like a lot, but some low-level cultivators relied on it to survive.
These people didn't dare to go out and fight, so they simply stayed in the Ruins of Immortality and specialized in this kind of business. They bought materials from ape demon hunters, then raised the price and sold them to people who needed them.
There were also people who specialized in buying grotto-heaven worlds.
Of course, doing this kind of business not only required a good reputation, but also enough immortal stones to support it.
Some merchants started from small businesses and gradually had fixed shops.
Qin Di saw a relatively large shop with the words "Grotto-Heaven Pavilion" written in gold on the signboard. People came in and out from time to time, and it seemed to be doing well.
He walked in and looked up to see that it was very spacious inside. There were counters on all sides, each with an Sky Immortal grotto-heaven world.
Apart from a few servants, there was also a green-robed old man who seemed to be only a peak spirit immortal. He walked up and asked, "Immortal Elder, what do you need? We provide all kinds of grotto-heaven worlds, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied. "
Qin Di did not look down on him just because he was a Spirit Immortal. In the Celestial World, one could not judge a person based on their appearance. Some experts often suppressed their cultivation levels to appear in front of others. His gaze swept across the counter and he asked, "Sir, can I trouble you to introduce me to so many grotto-heavens? What are the differences between them?"
The green-robed old man said with a smile, "I have all kinds of Grotto-heavens here. The higher the level, the smaller the Grotto-heavens. Look at this pigeon-egg-shaped Grotto-heavens of low-level Heaven Immortals. The Grotto-heavens of high-level Heaven Immortals are rare, but my shop has collected a few. Come here and take a look. This Grotto-heavens that are the size of soybeans are almost at the peak of Heaven Immortals!"
Qin Di smiled and asked, "Is there a higher level? For example, Zu Xian's Cave? Do you have any here? If you do, take it out and let me see it. "
The green-robed old man's expression changed slightly, but his smile didn't change. He said, "Zu Xian's Grotto-Heaven is very rare, and its price is also extraordinarily high. There were also grotto-heavens like that. It wasn't that the store couldn't receive them, but rather, it was worried that they wouldn't be able to sell them. Therefore, the store didn't stock them up. If you want Zu Xian's Grotto-Heaven, you can go to Tianbao Hall in the innermost part of the Ruins of Immortals. But the Grotto-heavens there are more expensive, on average, they are thirty to forty percent more expensive than in my shop! My shop makes a small profit but sells a lot, so my business is booming. "
Qin Di asked again, "Are all the Grotto-heavens of Ape Demons here? Are there any Grotto-heavens of human cultivators? "
The green-robed old man said with a smile, "Why not? Selling Grotto-heavens of Heaven Immortals doesn't violate the Law of Heaven! Could it be that only Heaven Immortals need to kill people, but merchants are not allowed to sell Grotto-heavens? Immortal Elder, look over here. The row on the left is the Grotto-heavens of Ape Demons. It's dark and lusterless, and its appearance is rough. The row on the right is filled with Grotto-heavens of human Heaven Immortals. Look at the color, it's obviously brighter, and its appearance is smooth like a pearl. Only human Heaven Senshu cultivators would have such patience to carefully polish their own Grotto-heavens, trying their best to make them perfect. "
Qin Di stared at the Grotto-heavens that were like pearls, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What's the use of polishing them to perfection? Aren't they just making wedding clothes for others? "
The green-robed old man also sighed softly and said, "Immortal Elder, you're kind-hearted, that's why you said that. But that's how the Immortal World is. It's survival of the fittest, and there are both disadvantages and advantages. It encourages immortals to constantly improve their own realms. If everything was peaceful, there wouldn't be so many Jin Xian and Dao Ancestors! Which Jin Xian doesn't have many souls of the dead? If many people fight for treasures and rely on absorbing immortal qi from the outside world, how can they gather a large number of spiritual lands, immortal materials, and immortal meridians to reach the realm of Jin Xian Dao Ancestor without hundreds of millions of years? The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps. It's not only like this in the mortal world, but also in the Immortal World. I've lived to this day, and I'm already 1.3 million years old. I can be considered to have seen through everything, which is why I dare to do such a business. Otherwise, I'll have nightmares. "
After pausing for a moment, Qin Di asked, "How do you sell these grotto-heavens? How many immortal stones for one? "
The green-robed old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately became spirited. He said, "If it's an ape demon grotto-heaven, it's equivalent to a level one Heaven Immortal grotto-heaven. It's very cheap, only 100,000 immortal stones. A level two ape demon sage grotto-heaven costs 200,000 immortal stones. Going up like that, a level nine ape demon sage grotto-heaven costs 1.8 million immortal stones. If it's a human cultivator grotto-heaven, it's twice as expensive. A level nine human Heaven Immortal grotto-heaven costs 3.6 million immortal stones! "
Qin Di frowned slightly. "That's not cheap!"
The green-robed old man said, "Immortal Elder, you look like a level three Heaven Immortal. You only need to buy a level three or four grotto-heaven. A level three ape demon grotto-heaven costs only 600,000 immortal stones, and a human cultivator grotto-heaven costs 1.2 million immortal stones. Just a million immortal stones is equivalent to the price of a level three immortal artifact. It's already very cheap! Don't forget, this is a human life! It's the essence of a Heaven Immortal's years of cultivation! If it's any cheaper, there's no justice in this world! My shop can't stock it either. "
Qin Di said, "If so many merchants in the Ruins of Immortality reduce the price of all the grotto-heavens by half, maybe there won't be so many Heaven Immortals dying. Isn't that a good thing?"
Hearing this, the green-robed old man didn't say anything.
After a while, he asked, "Immortal Elder, which one do you like? I can give you a discount. "
Qin Di took out an immortal sword and said, "Sir, take a look. This is a level four immortal sword. Can one immortal sword trade for three level four human Heaven Immortal grotto-heavens?"
The green-robed old man's eyes lit up when he saw the shining immortal sword. He took it and held it in his hand, examining it from the hilt to the blade. Then, he flicked it with his finger. Hearing the roars of tigers and dragons, he couldn't help but praise, "It really is a level four immortal sword. This is good stuff! It can instantly multiply a Heaven Immortal's killing power! But you can't trade it for three grotto-heavens! Immortal Elder, you can only trade for one! "
Qin Di shook his head. "How about I auction it outside? Exchange it for immortal stones and come back to buy it? "
"Well … I'll be honest with you, Immortal Elder. An immortal sword like this depends on who gets it. A level three or four Heaven Immortal would be willing to spend all his fortune to buy it! But you must know that ordinary Heaven Immortals are poor. They use their immortal stones to cultivate. How can they accumulate a lot of immortal stones? There are very few people who can take out a million immortal stones at once! If you auction it outside, you might not be able to sell it for a good price. You might even get yourself into trouble. How about this? One immortal sword for one level four Heaven Immortal grotto-heavens, and I'll give you 300,000 immortal stones. How's that? If it's any more, I'll lose out. After I take your sword, I need to find a suitable opportunity to sell it for a high price … My shop is a small business. It's not easy to earn a few immortal stones … "
The green-robed old man babbled, trying to lower the price of the immortal sword. Clearly, since he saw the immortal sword, he didn't want to let go of this business.
Qin Di smiled and took out four more immortal swords. These were all personally refined by him. He had sold two level three immortal swords on the planet Rigel III, so he had a general idea of the price of immortal swords.
He knew that although this was the Immortal Realm and there were many Heaven Senshu cultivators, the real good immortal weapons were in high demand. Many Heaven Immortals still used low-grade immortal weapons. Level four immortal swords were considered mid-grade immortal weapons, so they were even more precious.
The green-robed old man's eyes almost turned green when he saw four identical immortal swords!
He opened this shop mainly to sell grotto-heavens. Heaven Immortal grotto-heavens were inanimate objects. He had seen them many times, so there was nothing strange about them. But level four immortal swords were good stuff. They were considered high-end immortal weapons on this planet.
Although there were many Heaven Immortals walking around in the Immortal Ruins, and many of them were already mid-grade Heaven Immortals, more than 90% of them were still holding level two or three immortal weapons. In other words, their cultivation had surpassed the speed at which immortal weapons could be upgraded.
These people were not immortal weapon masters, so they did not know how to properly maintain immortal weapons and upgrade them as soon as possible. Even though many of them had advanced to mid-grade and high-grade Heaven Immortals, the spirit and low-grade immortal weapons they had been using could not be upgraded further due to the limitations of the materials. Some of them were already badly damaged, but they could only reluctantly continue to use them or simply gave them up.
It was not an easy task to obtain an Immortal Sword that was suitable for one's hands. One had to either painstakingly accumulate immortal stones and buy them from shops like Tianbao Hall, or risk one's life to kill and snatch the immortal weapons from the other party.
Qin Di reached out to touch one of the immortal swords and said, "Look at these five immortal swords, they are all newly refined. They have not experienced the stillness of other Heaven Immortals' souls, nor have they been contaminated by other people's messy temperaments, nor have they been instilled with any sword formation techniques. They are already level four immortal swords based on their materials alone. The materials used to refine these immortal swords are all rare immortal materials, and they have the potential to be upgraded to at least level six immortal swords. Think about it, level six immortal swords can be used until Zu Xian! How attractive would that be! "
When the green-robed old man heard this, he could not help but feel excited. His hands and feet trembled as he said, "One immortal sword for two level four immortal grotto-heavens!"
Qin Di still shook his head. "Three."
The green-robed old man's face alternated between joy and sorrow. "Immortal Master, three is too much …"
After a round of verbal sparring, Qin Di exchanged five immortal swords for 12 Tier 4 Metal Attribute Heavenly Immortal Grotto-Heavens and walked out of the shop.
So many grotto-heavens were enough for him to push his cultivation up to level five Heaven Immortal.
