In the depths of the cold, desolate starry river, three continents, which the bandits called the Dark Paradise, were sailing slowly.
Yu Yuan decided to stay here for the time being.
The three continents called the Dark Paradise had unique energy crystals in their heads. The bandits would need to fill them with the same amount of energy crystals as they used to operate their ancient starships. Only then would they be able to drive the continents to fly.
The two continents behind them didn't have similar piles of energy crystals. They were nothing more than carriages pulled by fierce horses.
According to Benin and Hart, the people who lived on the land with the piles of energy crystals at the head of the so-called Dark Paradise were the trusted subordinates and family members of the three bandit lords.
The two continents behind them had all kinds of resources they had looted and were waiting to be sold.
None of the resources at the head of the three continents were precious treasures of limited value.
Those who lived on the two continents were either bandits with relatively weak battle prowess or their family members who had been captured and enslaved by the bandits.
If the Dark Paradise encountered powerful enemies, the golden chains that connected the two continents behind them would be unlocked.
The land with the piles of energy crystals at the head of the three continents would abandon the land behind it and fly away at a speed that was several times faster than before.
Zhan Ruonan and Sun Jun from the Red Devil School, however, had a rather casual attitude towards the bandits.
They didn't seem to have a deep grudge against them.
Only then did Yu Yuan learn that the human grand cultivators and demon grand demons from Haoran didn't pay much attention to the bandits that roamed in the crevices of the starry river.
If they ran into bandits in the depths of the starry river, and the human grand cultivators were in a bad mood, they might just take care of them.
However, the joint forces of the human and demon armies usually wouldn't go out of their way to kill the bandits that were scattered in remote areas.
That was because the targets of the bandits in the starry river were almost always outsiders from large races or weak realms.
Any human who wanted to march into the starry river was at the Yang God realm or the eighth grade at the very least.
Furthermore, they often moved in small groups.
The scattered bandits did not dare to attack the humans and demons of Haoran. Once they encountered them, they would quickly flee.
Only those who were unlucky would be killed by the teams of humans and Great Demons.
Bandits posed no threat to the humans and demons of Haoran. They could even be used to annoy the allied forces of various races. Therefore, the powerful warriors of Haoran would not hunt them down.
There were even many like Lu Liu, the Yin Corpse King, and the evil cultivators who had been imprisoned in the Sword Prison who would come into contact with the bandits.
The bandits were the outliers among the various races. They were swept away by the armies of the various races. Evil cultivators like the Yin Corpse King and Lady Peach also avoided meeting the five supreme forces after they left Haoran.
The situation of the two sides was very similar in some aspects, and there was not much conflict between them.
The humans and demons who were not recognized by the five supreme forces would also buy some spirit materials from the bandits. They would use the spirit materials they looted to refine artifacts and improve their cultivation.
Not long after Yu Yuan appeared, he understood the situation through Benin, Hart, Lady Peach, and Zhan Ruonan.
He also knew that the Dark Paradise under his feet was heading in the direction of the realms the white crane had told him were currently being built in full swing by the Heaven Span Trading Company.
Although the three great bandit lords had not returned, they knew what had happened and the intentions of the White Crane and its master.
Since the White Crane had said that the Tongtian Trading Company could accurately lock onto the Dark Paradise's trajectory, the three great bandit lords could only order their subordinates to drive the Dark Paradise in the direction the White Crane had given them before they could find a solution.
They did not want to be killed by the White Crane's master.
However, they would not show themselves for the time being. They were still secretly thinking of a way to figure out the Tongtian Trading Company's true intentions.
Yu Yuan and Lady Peach knew where the Dark Paradise was heading, so they decided not to go.
Benin and Hart did not have the qualifications to fly in the terrifying galaxy with their own strength, so they could only stay for the time being.
Zhan Ruonan and Sun Jun's attitude toward the bandits was the same as that of most human experts. They did not care. They could have left at any time, but they chose to stay.
On the other hand, the bandits of the Dark Paradise had always been cautious when dealing with humans.
Lady Peach's hidden strength and Zhan Ruonan and Sun Jun's Yang Spirit auras made them take the initiative to lower their posture and not dare to provoke them. They also told the bandits on the remaining two continents to try their best not to show themselves.
Yu Yuan took some time out of his free time to search for spirit materials and wondrous items that were beneficial to him on this continent that was dozens of kilometers in size at most.
Many times, items that were worthless or extremely low in the eyes of outsiders might be very precious to humans and great demons.
It was the same for him.
For example …
Yu Yuan stood in an area that looked like a pile of miscellaneous items, releasing his own flesh aura.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the dozen or so finger-shaped crystal tubes filled with blood. He smiled and said, "These?"
The Rock people warrior who called himself Corden was only at the seventh grade. The world of Rock people he lived in had been destroyed by great demons. He had luckily escaped and become a bandit.
Corden had been arranged to keep an eye on Yu Yuan and try his best not to let Yu Yuan leave this continent.
"The Blood Essences of many small races are not of high grades." Corden bowed slightly with a humble expression. "For example, the Crypt Race, the Demon Scorpion Race, and the Fire Lizard Race are only third and fourth rank races in the universe. The Demon Scorpion Race and the Fire Lizard Race have not produced a single ninth grade expert, and they have very few members. "
Corden explained in detail to Yu Yuan.
The crystal tubes that contained the Blood Essences of low-grade outsiders came from a dilapidated starship of the Star Race. It was said that a Star Race team had been hunted down by the humans of Haoran. The elder of the Star Race had sacrificed himself to save the starship.
That elder had been interested in the bloodlines of various races, so he had collected many crystal tubes that contained Blood Essences.
He was dead. Not long after the warship escaped, it was targeted by the King of Bandits in the Dark Paradise. Most of the valuable things in the warship were for sale. The only thing in front of him was the blood essence of the fourth-level and fifth-level aliens. Since no one was interested in it, it was brought here to be dealt with later.
"How much are they worth?" Yu Yuan asked with a smile.
Corden hesitated for a moment. "You want to buy them?"
Yu Yuan nodded. "Yes. If the price is reasonable, I want to buy them."
Corden's spirit was shaken.
The fact that Yu Yuan didn't forcefully snatch it or demand for it as though it was a matter of course. Instead, she asked for the price. This was an excellent signal!
This meant that Yu Yuan and those people who had magically arrived in this place didn't intend to start a massacre, nor did they intend to rob them as bandits had done!
"Since President Li of the Tongtian Trading Company has invited you, and the place you asked for is the location of the Chamber of Commerce, I don't want to mess around." Yu Yuan knew what he was worried about. "Now, I'll use the Tongtian Trading Company's bandit method to choose some items that are suitable for me!"
"Of course, of course!"
Corden of the Rock people nodded and pointed at the crystal tubes. "You can buy them with the Haoran's spirit stone price. The energy contained in Haoran's spirit stones is very pure. They are common goods in outer space! How about seven hundred spirit stones? The blood in these crystal tubes belongs to you! "
Spirit stones were the common currency among Haoran's cultivators.
Spirit stones were the smallest unit of currency. Above them were spirit jades, and above them were spirit crystals.
Seven hundred spirit stones was not a large number for Profound Shatterer experts, not to mention Yu Yuan.
He went blank for a moment before asking, "Are Haoran's spirit stones very valuable outside?"
"Because their energy is pure, so they are very precious!" Corden said with a serious expression. "The energy crystals produced in most realms are not pure enough. There are too many impurities in them. They need to be refined at least twice, or even three to five times, to reach the level of ordinary spirit stones in your realm.
"After repeated refinements, the energy contained in the crystals will be lost, and their value will be even lower."
With these words, he looked envious. "After all, Haoran is the Central Realm, the most dazzling and sacred land in the entire starry river! Otherwise, it wouldn't have given birth to the glorious era of humans and demons, and the entire boundless starry river! "
When he mentioned Haoran, his expression and tone were full of awe and reverence.
"If you think it's too valuable, I can ask the other lords for their opinions. Perhaps I can lower the price." Seeing that he was silent, Corden thought that he had asked for too much. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "But they won't let me go to the continent in front of us. It's a bit troublesome."
Yu Yuan was in a daze.
He hadn't expected that the continent that humans and demons were so eager to leave was actually a paradise that the outsiders wanted to enter even in their dreams!
It was their so-called Central Realm, the most dazzling land of treasures, a sacred land that gave birth to countless rare treasures and incomparably brilliant civilizations and experts!
"No need to trouble yourself. Seven hundred it is."
With a thought, he took out spirit crystals of equal value from his Ring of Cosmos and handed them to Corden. "These seven spirit crystals are the size of a baby's palm. They're worth seven hundred spirit stones and seventy spirit jades in our Haoran. Please count them."
The spirit crystals were translucent and sparkled with an enchanting luster like diamonds.
Corden looked at them and became excited. "Got it!"
Holding the seven spirit crystals with both hands, he rushed towards the Giant Spirit warrior as if they were priceless treasures. After a while, he began to communicate with the Giant Spirit warrior in the outsider language.
Not long after, the powerful warrior of the Giant Spirit Clan took the seven spirit crystals and stepped on the golden chain, heading towards the land at the head.
Yu Yuan didn't think too much about it. He bent down and took out the dozen or so crystal tubes that contained the Blood Essence of low-grade outsiders.
WHOOSH!
The Fiendish Demon Cauldron flew out of his Zigong meridian, enlarged, and fell upside down.
He stood in the small world inside the cauldron. After Yu Yiyi, the cauldron soul, said that it was ready, Yu Yuan touched his small world of flesh aura in his chest and summoned the Life Altar.
The blood-red translucent altar, which was spinning gently, sensed a different kind of flesh aura and became restless.
He poured the Blood Essence in the first crystal tube onto the Life Altar. Almost ten strands of bright light that were several times thinner than hair suddenly flew out of the dark-red blood.
The gently spinning Life Altar only took around ten seconds to melt the essence blood inside.
Tiny dark-red particles and sparkling lights sputtered out of the edges of the Life Altar and merged into his flesh, bones, and tendons. There was also an extremely weak bit of soul energy that floated into the small world in his sea of consciousness and merged with it.
A few blurry images flashed in the depths of his mind.
He seemed to see some outsiders with scorpions roaming the icy, rocky lands. The incomparably harsh environment made it difficult for them to even survive.
The demon scorpion race …
After muttering to himself, he didn't think too much about it and poured the Blood Essence in the other crystal tubes into the Life Altar.
According to Can Li of the Radiant Light race, this Life Altar of his needed to absorb as much Blood Essence as possible in order to grow stronger and evolve faster.
There were many types of Blood Essence, and it was even more important than Blood Essence of different grades from the same race.
The Blood Essence in these crystal tubes came from the weak races in the third and fourth rank. Neither the Blood God's gifts nor his loot in the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons included these weak races.
After all, the demon scorpions and the Flame Lizards were insignificant races in the starry river. The Blood God wouldn't even spare them a glance.
However, to Yu Yuan, who craved more bloodlines, these Blood Essences were still of great value.
After an unknown period of time...
The Blood Essence in the dozen or so crystal tubes merged into the Life Altar and was easily refined. Then, it nourished his flesh, tendons, and bones, as well as branded many mysterious imprints in his sea of consciousness.
He also noticed that the Heavenly Force Shield bracelet on his wrist had also absorbed a few dozen wisps of flesh aura.
"The Heavenly Force Shield!"
Staring deeply at the dark-green bracelet, he suddenly realized that after his tireless efforts, it wouldn't be long before this Heaven Grade treasure from the Yu Clan's underground palace revealed its true miraculous abilities.
"Soul Wander Realm, continue to refine my Yin Soul..."
With a thought, his Yin Soul suddenly appeared outside the Fiend Demon Cauldron without being hindered by it.
The commotion caused by his Yin Soul immediately alerted Lady Peach, Zhan Ruonan, Sun Jun, and a few other high-grade outsiders who had a certain level of understanding of souls.
Many eyes and attention were fixed on the Fiend Demon Cauldron.
Yu Yuan's originally illusory Yin Soul gradually condensed into a visible soul form above the cauldron, like an Heavenly Devil that rampaged in the outer realms.
"Y-Yin Soul..."
Corden of the Rock people stood at the edge of the continent tied with golden chains and looked deeply at Yu Yuan in his soul form. He seemed a little surprised. The human race had seen a lot of Yang Souls, but it was very difficult to see a Yin Soul.
Even more powerful Freedom Realm cultivators would directly descend with their true bodies, and wouldn't let their Yin Souls wander.
Therefore, many outsiders revealed curious expressions when they saw Yu Yuan in his soul form.
"Be careful when releasing your Yin Soul in the outer realms!"
Zhan Ruonan of the Red Devil School warned from afar with a serious expression. "The terrifying supernatural abilities in the outer realms, and the astral winds that can tear souls apart, will be the nightmare of our Yin Souls! We are not Heavenly Devils, and we are not outsiders who have adapted to the filth of the outer realms the moment we were born. You know what you're doing! "
A foreign bandit on the leading continent shouted in a soft foreign language, "Remove the fluorescent energy shield!"
