Lu Ye almost forgot when he last replenished the Talent Tree's fuel. Since the Talent Tree stopped producing new Spiritual Runes, he no longer cared about it. However, it was foreseeable that as his cultivation increased, the consumption of the Talent Tree's fuel would increase as well, as the amount of resources he could refine would increase.
In order to ensure his future cultivation, it was imperative to replenish the Talent Tree's fuel!
Repairing the Mountain Pan Saber and collecting information about the Jade Conch were things he had to do at the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, but replenishing the Talent Tree's fuel was not necessary.
He did not have a lot of Spiritual Jades on hand, thus he had to save them as much as he could.
After exiting the chamber of commerce, he soared into the sky and flew in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, he arrived at a spacious area near the edge of the Island of Versatility. The area did not have any crisscrossing streets, as if it was a separate space.
The trade on the Island of Versatility was mainly done by the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, which was bustling with people. Next were the shops on the streets of the Island of Versatility. The factions behind the shops were from different realms, and the items sold in the shops were specialties from different realms.
However, the people on the Island of Versatility had also considered what to do if some cultivators wanted to sell their goods. Some of them were not willing to sell to the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce, and wanted to do their own business. Therefore, they had set up a space for those cultivators who did not own a shop to set up their own stalls.
The market was open!
Lu Ye had accidentally stumbled upon this place when he was strolling around yesterday, thus he was quite familiar with the place.
Without further investigation, he went straight to a stall and picked up an irregular crystal the size of a fist. The crystal was fiery red in color, like a Fire Crystal. Lu Ye slightly activated the power of the Talent Tree, and could clearly feel the surging power contained within it.
The quality of this item was much higher than the Earth Core Fire of the Nine Continents. Lu Ye had been to the stall yesterday, and was quite interested in this item. He had asked the stall owner about its name, and learned that it was called the Dragon Breath Crystal. However, he had only inquired about it, and did not show any intention of buying it, mainly because he did not know the price.
Now that he was prepared, Lu Ye had an idea of the price of this item. "Fellow cultivator, if you like it, feel free to buy it. This item is not expensive, only eight hundred Spiritual Jades each!"
Lu Ye casually asked, "How was this thing born?"
The stall owner said, "Since it's called the Dragon Breath Crystal, it's naturally related to the Dragon Clan. To tell you the truth, a thousand years ago, a giant fire dragon came to my domain and occupied a quiet place. When it was sleeping, the dragon breath it breathed out fused with some nearby minerals. After a thousand years, the Dragon Breath Crystal was slowly born."
Lu Ye nodded slightly. This stall owner's story was no different from what was recorded in the jade slip that Cao Xiang gave him. It seemed that he was not lying.
The jade slip that Cao Xiang gave him not only recorded the prices of various fire-attribute treasures, but also their origins and possible origins. It could be said to be very detailed. However, it was also because of this that Lu Ye realized that when a Dragon Breath Crystal appeared, it wasn't a single piece, but an entire field!
In other words, this stall owner definitely had a huge pile of Dragon Breath Crystals.
In front of him, Lu Ye took out the jade slip that Cao Xiang gave him. "The Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce's Dragon Breath Crystals are only eight hundred. Why are you selling them for eight hundred?"
Normally, the items sold in the scattered market were cheaper than the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce. Only then would there be enough competition. Otherwise, who would come to the scattered market to buy things if everyone's prices were the same?
The stall owner looked at Lu Ye, then looked at the jade slip in his hand and chuckled. "So you came prepared. In that case, I'll give you ten Spiritual Jades cheaper." He didn't blush. This was how business was. There was no need to talk about favors. If the other party didn't know, he would sell it at a higher price. If the other party knew, he would sell it at a lower price.
Lu Ye didn't even blink as he mercilessly slashed. "Five hundred!"
The stall owner was dumbfounded. "Fellow cultivator, you can't bargain like this."
"I need a lot!" Lu Ye looked at him calmly.
The stall owner said, "No matter how much you want, I can't sell it for five hundred. This isn't my personal item. It's a product from the realm I'm in. The Spiritual Jades sold will be brought back to be divided among many people. I really can't give you this price. If you want to buy it for five hundred, you'd better go elsewhere."
"Five hundred and fifty!"
"Fellow cultivator, I advise you to be kind. If you act like this, you'll be killed when you leave the Myriad Elephant Sea."
"Six hundred!" If you're selling, I'll take it. If not, I'll leave! "
The stall owner stretched out his hand, indicating for Lu Ye to do as he pleased.
Of course, Lu Ye wouldn't really leave. Bargaining required one to be thick-skinned and ruthless. If he succeeded, he would be happy. If not, he wouldn't lose anything.
"Give me your lowest price!" Lu Ye looked at the stall owner. The reason why he took a fancy to this Dragon Breath Crystal was mainly because the quantity was large enough. If he went to buy other fire-type treasures, he might have to buy many more types. When the time comes, he would have to bargain one by one. He might even lose out.
The stall owner grimaced for a while. He could tell that Lu Ye was sincere in buying it. He pondered for a while and said, "To be honest, before I came out, the elders of this realm set the lowest price for me at seven hundred and fifty. Seeing that you're so sincere, I'll sell it to you for seven hundred and sixty. Any lower and I won't accept it!"
"Since the lowest price set for you is seven hundred and fifty, why are you increasing my price?" The stall owner was speechless. "I'm selling things here. You have to let me earn some hard-earned money, right? It's not easy for everyone to go out. Fellow cultivator, you have to understand each other! I've been selling my stall here for a long time. If I have the time, I might as well search for Spiritual Jades in this realm. Whatever I find is mine. "
"Okay … then!" Lu Ye reluctantly agreed. The main reason was that he couldn't cut it down. Moreover, the stall owner was right. He did have to let others earn some money.
A Dragon Breath Crystal was forty spirit jades cheaper than the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce. It wasn't a small sum.
After counting the spirit jades he had, Zhou Yuan left a little over five hundred for cultivation and handed the rest to the stall owner. In the end, he obtained twenty-four Dragon Breath Crystals.
The majority of the spirit jades he had came from the Alpha Origin spirit jade mine.
Although he had consumed some during his exploration of space outside the Nine Provinces, he could still find some along the way. Overall, he didn't suffer any losses and even had a small surplus.
After giving Nian Yue Xian one thousand five hundred spirit jades on Fangcun Mountain, he was only left with a little over thirteen thousand.
But recently, he had obtained some Spiritual Jades from Tang Jun's storage ring. Previously, he had also killed three robbers and obtained a small amount of Spiritual Jades. The three of them were also poor, so he didn't know how long the energy contained in the 24 Dragon Breath Crystals could last! Lu Ye suddenly realized that his comfortable days weren't over for long. He had to start worrying about cultivation resources again.
Back in the Nine Provinces, when his cultivation wasn't high, he spent all his time thinking about how to earn merits. Later on, he thought about earning battle merits. Now, he no longer needed any merits or battle merits. What he needed now was spirit jades, and a large amount of them at that...
The stall owner was in a good mood after selling the Dragon Breath Crystals. He said, "Fellow cultivator, if you want more goods in the future, feel free to look for me!" He clearly still had a lot of stock on hand.
"How long have you been running this stall?" Lu Ye asked offhandedly.
The stall owner's face was filled with melancholy. "Almost three years! Sigh, let's not talk about it. However, someone will soon come to replace me. My stall won't change. Fellow cultivator, feel free to come here. "
It wasn't easy to find a suitable stall in a place like this. Hence, many stall owners took turns with their companions from the same region to maintain the principle of not changing stalls. This also made it easier for regular customers to find them.
If the Nine Provinces could freely travel to and from the Myriad Elephant Galaxy, they would likely use this method to sell their specialties. After all, the Nine Provinces didn't have the capital to occupy a shop here.
After bidding farewell to the stall owner, Lu Ye felt melancholy.
When he came here, he still had some money in his pocket. However, he had spent most of it in just a few moments.
The Island of Versatility was bustling with activity, but Lu Ye didn't know where to go. He had to go to the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce to retrieve his Mountain Pan Saber in ten days. What should he do during this period of time? There were places to stay on the island, but it would obviously cost a lot of Spiritual Jades. Lu Ye didn't want to spend so much money.
It was unrealistic to just wait around. After thinking for a while, he soared into the sky and flew out of the island. There were some things that he wanted to test and verify.
A moment later, he left the Island of Versatility. The moment he left, Lu Ye heard a crisp sound coming from the pass hanging on his waist. When he looked down, he saw that the pitch-black pass had cracked open from the middle. It was obviously broken.
This also meant that he would have to spend another five Spiritual Jades to enter the Island of Versatility.
He searched as he flew. He couldn't go too far from the Island of Versatility, but it would be inconvenient if he was too close. The closer he was to the Island of Versatility, the more cultivators there would be.
A day later, Lu Ye finally found a suitable location and settled down. A moment later, he landed on a reef island with a radius of about ten feet.
It was not safe for him to travel alone. The Island of Versatility and many other large spiritual islands forbade personal fights, but no one would care on the Island of Versatility. In other words, if someone found Lu Ye an eyesore and tried to bully him, no one would stand up for him.
Lu Ye remembered seeing a spiritual island being besieged on his way here.
However, some things couldn't be avoided just because it wasn't safe. How could a cultivator be absolutely safe?
To be safe, Lu Ye set up some defensive formations on the reef island. This way, he would at least have time to react if he was attacked.
He then sat down with his legs crossed and sensed his surroundings.
The seawater of the Island of Versatility was condensed from extremely dense starry sky energy. Although it was condensed and didn't dissipate, it would still affect the surrounding cultivation environment, especially the spiritual islands on the surface of the sea.
Under Lu Ye's perception, he could tell that the location he was in contained more Starry Sky energy than normal Starry Sky.
The starry sky energy was like the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivators below the Star Constellation.
