The exchange meeting in Golden Leaf City was not like a salon or a banquet.
It was more like a product exhibition.
Within the Human Valley, the invited celebrities and students would bring their local specialties or masterpieces to the exchange meeting to display. This kind of exchange meeting was also a good opportunity to exchange knowledge and find partners to cooperate with.
Silver Maple City also had its own special products, and the most famous one was a kind of silver maple leaf that could be used as a catalyst for medicine.
The original 'Silver Maple City' was also named after this kind of silver maple leaf.
Other than that, there were several other kinds.
This included the 'purple crystal' produced by the mine in the territory of Yue Yang, the owner of the Star Diamond Castle. It was also a special mineral that could not be found elsewhere. If one could show off at the exchange meeting, it would be the best test or test for one's life assessment and future development. Many students liked to show off at the exchange meeting. It was also a way to accumulate strength for one's own improvement …
"Your Excellency Baron Titan, aren't you going to display your masterpieces with runes?" Fan Zhongzong put on a fake smile and looked for Yue Yang.
"Your Excellency Baron has just entered the academy, so you definitely haven't perfected it yet." The black-bearded old man tried to smooth things over for him.
"Is that so? Then you don't have any masterpieces. " Fan Zhongzong purposely raised his voice. He wished that everyone in the exchange meeting could hear his words and make the owner of the Star Diamond Castle, Yue Yang, embarrassed.
"Do I have to show my masterpieces to come here?" Yue Yang smiled. "Why do I feel that I would be more popular if I were a generous buyer of students?"
"Hmph!" Fan Zhongzong's expression immediately changed.
He was a smart person. How could he not understand?
Yue Yang was clearly trying to bully people with money. He was extremely unhappy when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.
No matter what, he couldn't stop the other party from spending money to buy things from the exchange meeting, right? In Human Valley, if one had money and status, who could stop them? If Yue Yang was just a normal mercenary, or an upstart merchant, Fan Zhisheng could still use his authority to suppress Yue Yang and chase him out of the Exchange Gathering. However, Yue Yang was a Baron with status and position. He had a Star Diamond Castle and four territories under his control … Fan Zhisheng was just a little more experienced, but his status and position was still much lower than Yue Yang's.
As it turned out, the Silver Maple City Lord wanted to seize the benefits of the Star Diamond Castle, and he, Fan Chengzong, had followed behind to wave the flag and shout battle cries, so that he could reap some benefits.
Now, the City Master of Silver Maple City and his tenth son, Zhong Hua, had inexplicably given up on the benefits of seizing the Star Diamond Castle. They even seemed to be secretly taking care of it. As a mere official, other than venting his frustrations, he really didn't dare to make any small moves in private!
"Little Titan, here's a thousand Sky Crystals. Buy whatever you want, don't be stingy." The principal was preparing to go out and meet up with a few old friends. Before he left, he handed a card to Yue Yang, allowing this student of his to shop as much as he wanted at the Exchange Gathering. The principal was worried that this student of his was too well-behaved and was reluctant to spend money, so he specially reminded him.
"Thank you, principal." If Yue Yang's well-behaved behavior was in kindergarten, he would definitely get a little red flower.
"Damn it!" Fan Chengzong saw this from the side. He was so jealous that he almost banged his head against the wall.
He had never seen a principal like this before!
No matter how much he loved his student, he couldn't possibly give a thousand Sky Crystals to his student to squander, right?
What did a thousand Sky Crystals mean? He was a Red Councilor, and was one of the few big shots in Silver Maple City Lord. However, his annual income, including his normal salary and all sorts of gray income, did not exceed this amount.
Now, a dignified Red Councilor's annual income could not even reach this amount, was given to this kid to spend like pocket money.
This was too unfair!
Fan Chengzong felt that if he was the heavens that carried out the Law of Punishment, he would strike this kid to death with lightning!
"So much money, what should I buy? Sometimes, having too much money is also a problem! " Yue Yang purposely waved the card in front of Fan Chengzong. Fan Chengzong was so angry that he almost bled from his seven orifices. Damn it, don't you know when to stop? Do you want to anger others to death to be happy? If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't use force in Human Valley, Fan Chengzong would have snatched it by force.
"The principal is really generous!" The black bearded old man was also extremely envious.
Furthermore, he now understood why the City Master of Silver Maple City and his tenth son, Zhong Hua, who was in the limelight the most, would change their attitude and support Baron Titan instead of secretly scheming to seize the star diamond castle like before … It turned out that the original owner of the star diamond castle had not only left behind a castle, he had also left behind an incomparably large network of connections for his son. There were people taking care of him everywhere, including the most upright and strictest principal in the school!
It would be strange if the Silver Maple City Lord would become enemies with such a person.
The black bearded old man thought it through.
He couldn't help but secretly have a thought. Since this Titan Baron, who had inherited the Star Diamond Castle, had so many people taking care of him, why not add flowers to the brocade?
Being on good terms with a leader with real power, status and a bright future was far better than being on good terms with a colleague of the same level … Almost instantly, the black bearded old man drew a clear line between himself and Fan Chengzong. Red Consul? This wasn't a lifelong job, it was just an official that was elected once every five years. How could it be compared to a leader who had a territory and power for life? For a person like the Star Diamond Castle's owner, his future was limitless. Forget about being a City Lord, he might even become a King in the future. Right now, investing in him at the very beginning was undoubtedly more effective than investing in him hundreds or thousands of times in the future.
"Titan Baron, if you are not familiar with the Exchange Conference, I have a servant beside me who is quite quick-witted. Why don't you let her accompany you for a walk?" The black bearded old man decided to use a honey trap. Gifting a beautiful female servant was one of the most commonly used methods of forming alliances among nobles.
"Thank you for your kind intentions. Maybe next time. Right now, I still need to focus on my studies." Yue Yang declined tactfully.
"Yes, yes. When Baron Titan's evaluation ceremony is over, I will immediately congratulate Lord Baron. At that time, Lord Baron might have already been promoted to Viscount, or even an even higher Earl!" The black bearded old man laughed heartily, not minding the fact that he was rejected by Yue Yang in the slightest. He could also see that a young leader with a bright future like Baron Titan would definitely be the school's goal of nurturing him with all its might. If not, the principal would not be so extravagant as to give this young leader a thousand Sky Crystals to buy as much as he wanted.
"Thank you for your kind intentions once again. I have something to do and will be heading out for a while. Let's talk again later!" Yue Yang smiled as he bid farewell.
"What do you mean?" Fan Chengzong felt more uncomfortable than a person who had been constipated for ten days. He could not hold it in any longer and asked the black bearded old man, "He is just a brat who is still wet behind the ears. Do you really need to suck up to him like this? Although we belong to different factions, we have always been on good terms. You did not lend me a helping hand today, but instead hit me when I was down and changed your direction to support that brat? "
"Fan Chengzong, there are actually many choices as a person. There is no need to stubbornly stick to one path." The black bearded old man was also a political expert. Even after being scolded, his smile did not change.
"Fine, then we'll see!" Fan Chengzong was furious. Traitor, you still have reason?
"I won't be seeing you out." The black bearded old man chuckled on the surface, but in his heart, he seriously despised Fan Chengzong's actions. You're not an idiot, are you? Why do you have to risk your life and become enemies with a leader like Baron Titan for the sake of a bit of face? Even a blind person could see that this young man's future had already been paved ten years ago. Even people like Silver Maple City's Master and Zhong Hua fawned over him. What does a mere Red Councilor count for? If you were born an idiot and couldn't see the big picture, then so be it. But you are a smart person, yet you let your jealousy blind your eyes. Even though you know you are in the wrong, you would rather die than turn back. It really makes people speechless.
You are trying to throw an egg against a rock, seeking your own death is your own business.
But you can't drag your ally down with you, right?
I am only your political ally, not your biological father. Even if I were, it would be natural for your biological father to turn to someone else in this situation!
The black bearded old man shook his head and directly blacklisted Fan Chengzong. It was better to cut ties with this kind of political ally as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would ruin big things in the future.
Yue Yang walked out of the Silver Maple exhibition hall alone.
There was a wide plaza inside. There were various exhibition halls built in a ring around it. There were dozens of them.
There were large and small halls. The one in Silver Maple City belonged to the large category. Inside, there were stacks of specialties and puppets being assembled. There were close to a hundred of them. Other than the outer hall, the inner hall also had resting rooms and guest rooms, providing all kinds of conveniences. The small halls were usually only a third of the size of the large halls. The smallest was only a fifth. These were all joint exhibition areas provided for the use of large merchant associations or large mercenary guilds. The contents of their exhibitions were also slightly different from those of the upper class.
Other than that, there was also a main hall in the central plaza.
It was just that the Exchange Conference had not been opened yet. The various things inside were still being prepared, and the doors had not been opened yet.
Yue Yang walked around the exhibition halls in a few cities. He found that most of the specialties were still on display, and the puppets were still being assembled urgently. None of them were completely prepared to open their doors to welcome the guests. Seeing that the large cities were busy, Yue Yang paid more attention to the specialties and did not make a move to buy them.
The price would definitely not be cheap if he hurriedly made a move before the curtain was even opened and the others were not prepared.
Moreover, this was the case.
It was also easy to expose his true needs.
Hence, even if he saw a very good special product, Yue Yang would only smile and pass it by. He didn't ask about the price, and didn't even inquire about their attributes … Of course, with his Heaven Eyes Divine Vision, Yue Yang didn't need to waste his time.
The large exhibition halls were busy. On the other hand, there were a few small exhibition halls where a few merchant associations had entered in advance. They were more well-prepared.
This was also related to the fact that they, as merchants, placed great importance on the Exchange Conference.
"How much is the warbeast egg?" Yue Yang turned to a small exhibition hall that was jointly rented by a few mercenary groups. He discovered that the things inside had already been prepared and were just waiting for the guests to come. However, their exhibition hall was completely deserted. There was not a single person who showed any interest in it. When Yue Yang went in to take a look, he realized that the things inside were too 'abnormal'. In the Human Valley, things like puppets and puppet beasts that could be converted into combat power were the most popular. Treasures like the Spring of Life and the Hundred Flowers Wine that could directly improve one's state were also very popular. However, things like weapons that could not be used, warbeasts, and items that could not be converted into the Human Valley were very cheap.
The Human Valley, or rather, the humans, was just that practical.
If a warbeast that could reach the fifth level of Heaven Stage was placed anywhere, not to mention Tong Tian Tower, even in any region of the Heaven Realm, it would be a rare warbeast that was highly sought after by everyone.
But in the Human Valley, they were not even comparable to some edible carnivorous Earth Stage beasts.
Because warbeasts could not be used in the Human Valley, no matter how powerful a warbeast was, it was only 'useless' and a waste of painstaking nurturing. Of course, it could not compare to those Earth Stage beasts that could be converted into meat or sold for a large number of offspring. It could be said with certainty that in Human Valley, the price of a Heaven Stage Level 5 Black Dragon was far lower than that of an Earth Stage Level 3 Oily Skin Demon Pig. It was even lower than that of an Earth Stage Level 1 Long-haired Snow Rabbit and Flowerback Guinea Pig.
Flowerback Guinea Pigs could reproduce in large numbers. Other than providing a large amount of meat, they could also be used to eat beans.
There was a type of bean in the Human Valley called the Red Gold Bean.
It was extremely hard.
Only a few kinds of pikas could be half-digested.
If this kind of half-digested Red Gold Bean was used to make wine, it would be perfect … In the Human Valley, who knew how many mercenaries and civilians relied on Flowerback Guinea Pigs to eat beans and then sold red gold wine to merchants to make a living.
Could a Heaven Stage level 5 Black Dragon do this?
The Black Dragon was just a glutton!
Another example was the Long-haired Snow Rabbit. This kind of rabbit could grow its hair crazily and could be cut and sold all year round. Its quality was naturally not as good as the best White Snow Wool, but it reproduced quickly, had a high survival rate, and was easy to rear in captivity. It was much easier to rear than the Golden Horned White Sheep that had to be served well. How could a Heaven Stage level 5 Black Dragon compare to this?
Even if it was an Oil-skinned Demon Pig, it could still be killed and sold for meat!
Therefore, in the special environment of the Human Valley, warbeasts, especially battle-type warbeasts, were a tragedy!
The warbeast eggs that Yue Yang asked about were a pile of battle-type warbeast eggs that were piled up in the corner. It was unknown how long it had been since anyone had asked about them … Among them, the quality of these warbeast eggs were mostly above Gold rank, and almost all of them were Heaven Stage warbeasts.
Raising a Black Dragon of Heaven Stage Level 5, he could sell some dragon blood for money, but before he could sell the dragon blood, the Black Dragon would probably go broke.
Moreover, hatching a Black Dragon from an egg to an adult dragon …
It was impossible for a thousand or a few hundred years.
Therefore, if there was anything more tragic than a Heaven Stage warbeast, it would be a Heaven Stage warbeast egg. These were existences that no one would care about, unless there was a noble who wanted to eat a Heaven Stage warbeast egg drop soup!
"This … These are not carnivorous or support-type warbeast eggs, they are all battle-type warbeast eggs." The mercenary receptionist who heard the noise had a bitter expression on his face. Even if Yue Yang wanted to buy them, he wouldn't dare to sell them. He was afraid that Yue Yang would turn around and find trouble with him once he left. For a noble like Yue Yang, even if he was a hundred times more courageous, he wouldn't dare to lie to him.
"Aren't warbeasts divided into elemental-type, strengthening-type, warbeast-type and special-type?" Yue Yang laughed.
"Yes, it is indeed divided like that. But in private, we usually ignore elemental-type and strengthening-type warbeasts. There is no market for those warbeasts. Warbeasts are divided into carnivorous and non-carnivorous warbeasts. Generally speaking, special-type warbeasts are more popular, especially for rankers with grimoires. " The mercenary receptionist hurriedly explained and introduced to Yue Yang, "If esteemed guest likes, you can go over there to take a look. That is our main selling area, maybe there will be something you are interested in."
"Although I don't really lack warbeast eggs, I really can't bear to see such a waste of natural resources." Yue Yang felt that if he brought this pile of Heaven Stage warbeast eggs back to Tong Tian Tower, the kings of various races would probably go crazy with joy.
"You really want to buy?" The mercenary receptionist's eyes were even bigger than a cow's, and his mouth could fit a Thunder Toad.
"Name a price. If it's suitable, I'll buy them all." Yue Yang felt that if it was possible, it would be best to fill up all his storage rings.
"Ah, then, you, you are serious? You really want to buy them? How about this, please give me a total of five Heaven Crystals. Ah, no, three Heaven Crystals, you can take all of them … What do you think? " The mercenary receptionist was afraid that Yue Yang would turn around and leave, so he took the initiative to lower the price. He anxiously waited for Yue Yang's reply, deeply afraid that Yue Yang, who looked like a young master of a noble family, would slap him in the face.
"I'll place an order of fifty Heaven Crystals. I hope that at this time tomorrow, I can see more battle-type Heaven Stage warbeast eggs piled up in front of me." Yue Yang patted the mercenary receptionist's shoulder, causing him to feel extremely flattered. "Listen, if you can do this well, I'll give you an additional reward of five Heaven Crystals."
"Ah!" The mercenary receptionist was completely dumbfounded. He didn't even know when Yue Yang left.
In his mind, Yue Yang's words kept repeating endlessly: Listen, if you … I'll give you an additional reward of five Heaven Crystals …
'Five Heaven Crystals … Alright, last year, I worked hard for an entire year, and my income was not even half of five Heaven Crystals. But today, a noble young master casually mentioned it, and it became a tip that I might be able to get. My god, is this true?'
