Along the way, Lu Ye only observed from afar as he walked past various shops.
Although the Nine Prefectures had been promoted to a large realm a few years ago and could be considered to be connected to the universe, it was still just the beginning. There were many things that needed to be familiarized with slowly.
For example, the various prices in the universe … The cultivators of the Nine Prefectures knew nothing about them. These things were not recorded in the Human Tribe's Resting Abyss Pavilion.
If Lu Ye wanted to buy or sell something here, he had to first understand the prices here. Otherwise, he would suffer a loss without knowing it.
After shopping for nearly a day, Lu Ye had a general understanding of the prices here.
He also saw some things that piqued his interest. For example, in a shop that specialized in selling Star Boats, he saw a small Star Boat that could be used by a single person. It was the cheapest Star Boat among all the Star Boats. However, even the cheapest Star Boat cost twenty thousand spirit jades, while the larger ones cost one hundred to two hundred thousand spirit jades.
It was not something he could afford.
He used to think that he was quite rich because he did not have to worry about cultivation. The spiritual jades he had were enough for him to cultivate for a long time. However, when he came to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, he realized that he was really poor.
For cultivators, no matter how many spiritual jades they had, they would never be enough. One day later, Lu Ye stood in front of the largest pagoda in the center of the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. This was the symbol of the Ten Thousand Elephant Island and also the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Elephant Chamber of Commerce!
With his experience in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield, Lu Ye naturally knew that if he really wanted to buy something, he had to come to this place. The things sold here might be more expensive than outside, but the quality was guaranteed. Of course, he did not come here to buy anything.
He walked in leisurely. The interior of the Ten Thousand Elephant Chamber of Commerce was luxuriously decorated and spacious. It was easy to feel reverence for this colossus.
This was also a common method used by merchants to let their customers feel their powerful foundation. This way, no matter what kind of transaction they made later, it would be much smoother.
Someone received Lu Ye and led him to a private room without asking much. After serving him tea, he left.
Lu Ye took things as they came. He sipped the tea and waited quietly. He had experienced this scene many times in the Nine Prefectures. Although the place was different and the cultivation level was different, the pattern was the same.
Sure enough, a moment later, a smiling manager of the chamber of commerce came to inquire about Lu Ye's business.
Lu Ye silently took out his Pan Shan Saber and placed it in front of the person who called himself Cao Xiang.
Cao Xiang smiled and apologized. He then held the Pan Shan Saber with both hands and slowly pulled it out to take a closer look at it. As soon as he looked at it, he had an idea. He then asked warmly, "Dao Friend, are you trying to repair this saber?"
As a person who dealt with outsiders all year round, he had long developed a pair of extraordinary eyes for discerning people. Naturally, he could see through the details of Lu Yebing's cultivation.
If a weapon cultivator took out his own Spiritual Treasure, it was definitely not for sale. Moreover, the cracks on the Pan Shan Saber were obvious. He immediately saw through Lu Ye's intentions.
"What price?" Lu Ye asked.
Cao Xiang didn't answer immediately. Instead, he silently sensed the Mountain Pan Saber. After a while, he said, "This saber is tough and durable. Although I can't tell what ores were used to forge it, it must have been recast once. Moreover, some precious materials were added during the recasting process. It shouldn't be difficult to repair this saber. There are outstanding blacksmiths in the Chamber of Commerce who can completely repair these cracks.
Lu Ye knew that Cao Xiang's asking price wouldn't be cheap, but he was still secretly speechless.
However, he had to admit that Cao Xiang's eyesight was very good. Some precious materials had indeed been added to the Pan Shan Saber when it was recast. They were all spoils of war that Lu Ye had obtained from the Alpha Origin stage.
Lu Ye's expression didn't change as he indifferently said, "Spiritual Treasures don't exceed ten thousand. Ordinary Spiritual Treasures only cost two to three thousand spirit jades. Even the better ones only cost around five thousand. I'm just trying to repair it. Isn't two thousand too much?"
With the information he had gathered the day before, Lu Ye more or less had some understanding of the price of Spiritual Treasures. Just as he said, Spiritual Treasures only cost two to three thousand spirit jades. This was a price that Constellation stage experts could afford.
Cao Xiang smiled slightly. "Dao Friend also said that I'm just trying to repair it. To a weapon cultivator, a suitable Spiritual Treasure is extremely important. What's most important is that it's easy to use. Dao Friend may be able to buy a Spiritual Treasure with two thousand spirit jades, but how much strength can you display if you use it?"
This was the truth. It was likely that Lu Ye had seen through this point, which was why he dared to ask for such a high price.
Lu Ye lightly tapped the table and said, "There are no restrictions in my saber. It's just a simple repair. It shouldn't be too difficult."
Cao Xiang was slightly stunned. "No restrictions?"
"You can feel it!" Lu Ye raised his hand.
Cao Xiang really didn't know. Although he had felt the Pan Shan Saber earlier, he hadn't examined it too carefully in front of its owner, Lu Ye.
Now that he heard Lu Ye's words, he hurriedly examined it carefully. In the end, he discovered that there were indeed no restrictions inside the saber. It was purely tough.
After working in the Wan Xiang Chamber of Commerce for so many years, this was the first time Cao Xiang had encountered such a situation. He couldn't help but feel strange. What was a saber without any restrictions used for? It wasn't good to ask too much. After all, this was Lu Ye's private matter. There were millions of cultivators, each with their own strange hobbies and characteristics. It wasn't something he could casually inquire about.
"If there are no restrictions, it'll be much easier to repair it. I'll lower the price by two hundred spirit jades to one thousand eight hundred!"
"One thousand!" Lu Ye looked at him with a calm expression.
Cao Xiang couldn't help but laugh. "Fellow Daoist, our Wan Xiang Chamber of Commerce has its own rules for all kinds of transactions. We can't just randomly haggle like outside."
Lu Ye leisurely said, "This is my first time coming to the Wan Xiang Chamber of Commerce. In the future, I'll surely disturb you. If it's convenient, we can exchange musical notes. If there's anything else I want to trade, I'll look for you directly."
Cao Xiang hurriedly took out a musical note and handed it to Lu Ye. He beamed with joy. "Thank you for your kind intentions."
Lu Ye also took out his own musical note.
After the exchange, Cao Xiang gritted his teeth. "One thousand five hundred, Fellow Daoist. This is the lowest price I can decide. If it's any lower, we can't do business."
Lu Ye knew that Cao Xiang wasn't telling the truth. However, since he was doing business, he naturally had to give Cao Xiang a bit of profit. He was afraid that he couldn't lower the price.
He nodded and said, "Alright!"
"Fellow Daoist is straightforward!" Cao Xiang showed a grateful expression. Whether it was true or not, Cao Xiang's attitude was good.
Afterwards, he took out a special weighing instrument and recorded the Mountain Pan Saber's weight and length in front of Lu Ye. He also recorded the Mountain Pan Saber's various characteristics with his Divine Sense before handing it to Lu Ye. "This is the receipt. Fellow Daoist can come to the Chamber of Commerce to pick up the saber in ten days. Just show this jade slip when the time comes."
Lu Ye nodded and carefully put away the jade slip before handing over one thousand five hundred spirit jades to Cao Xiang.
It had to be said that the Wan Xiang Chamber of Commerce's business was quite standard and had won the trust of their customers.
Cao Xiang could tell that Lu Ye had other things to trade, so he tentatively asked, "Does Fellow Daoist have any other instructions?"
"Does your Chamber of Commerce trade information?"
Cao Xiang smiled and nodded. "Naturally. What kind of information does Fellow Daoist want to inquire about?"
Lu Ye nodded. "I want to inquire about the location of a galaxy."
Cao Xiang said, "If you want to inquire about the galaxy's location, you'll need to pay one thousand spirit jades." Lu Ye's eyelids twitched. Asking for a thousand spirit jades at the drop of a hat? Who knew how long the spirit jades he had would last?
"Are you sure you can give me an answer?" Lu Ye asked cautiously. It would be too much of a loss if he didn't get a satisfactory answer after paying with his spirit jades.
"Basically, the Vientiane Trading Firm knows the locations of all the galaxies in this star field. Of course, there are some exceptions. After all, the starry sky is vast, and there are always some remote places that have never interacted with the Vientiane Trading Firm. If that's the case, then I'll only take three hundred Spiritual Jades as a deposit. Once I've found out more about it, you can pay the rest."
It made sense.
When Lu Ye said the two words' Yu Luo ', Cao Xiang even specifically asked how to write the two words' Yu Luo '. Obviously, he was afraid that there would be an accent.
"Please wait for a moment, Fellow Daoist," Cao Xiang said and left. He was probably going to investigate this matter.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Cao Xiang returned with an awkward expression. "Fellow Daoist, the situation is like this.
I didn't find any records of the Jade Conch Galaxy. If you're not in a hurry, I'll take a look.
The Chamber of Commerce can send someone to inquire about it. There should be some clues. "
"There's no hurry!" Lu Ye calmly took out three hundred Spiritual Jades and paid the deposit.
Tang Jun would sooner or later inquire about the Jade Conch Galaxy through the Vientiane Trading Firm, but Lu Ye wouldn't save the Spiritual Jades. He couldn't rely on others for this kind of thing. In the end, Lu Ye still didn't have complete trust in Tang Jun. If this old man found out about the Jade Conch Galaxy's location and ran away alone, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Therefore, he would rather spend a thousand Spiritual Jades than pin his hopes on others.
As he got up and walked out, he suddenly thought of something, "Can you find me a copy of the price of the various fire attribute materials in your Chamber of Commerce?" Cao Xiang was startled for a moment before nodding, "No problem."
A moment later, Lu Ye walked out of the Vientiane Trading Firm with a jade slip.
This time, his assets had shrunk by nearly ten percent!
Moreover, Lu Ye had a hunch that he wouldn't be able to keep the rest of the Spiritual Jades because the things he was about to buy were the most important!
His Talent Tree's fuel reserves were running low!
He hadn't replenished his Talent Tree's fuel for a long time. Ever since he ascended to the Constellation Realm, every cultivation consumed the Talent Tree's fuel, and the consumption rate was much faster than before.
This was normal. Before he ascended to the Constellation Realm, he mostly focused on stealing heaven's secrets and refining spirit pills. However, after ascending to the Constellation Realm, he needed to refine the energy in the Spiritual Jades. If it was just refining, it wouldn't consume much of his Talent Tree's fuel, because the process of absorbing and refining the Spiritual Jades would remove a lot of impurities.
However, he often chose to consume Spiritual Jades and Star Beasts' Monster Cores in order to recover faster.
This method consumed a lot of his Talent Tree's fuel.
