Drip … drip … drip … drip …
Amidst the crisp sounds, a skinny but vigorous long-armed ape that was seven to eight meters tall appeared.
It carried a huge silver egg on its shoulder as it slowly walked through the market. This …
This long-armed ape was none other than the corpse puppet refined from the corpse of the primordial long-armed ape that had been extracted from the raw bone jade ore.
The corpse puppet that had been refined by the Corpse Puppet Ancestor from the Primordial Era was so powerful that it defied the heavens!
Chu Xingyun had tried it before. Even if he used the Seven Star Ancient Sword with all his might, he couldn't cause any damage to the corpse puppet.
The Corpse Puppet Ancestor was one of the top hundred experts on the Emperor Ranking. Its strength was on the same level as Di Tianyi's. Until …
It was hard to say who was stronger between the Corpse Puppet Ancestor and Di Tianyi. If they didn't fight, they would never know the result. Overall …
In other words, the Corpse Puppet Ancestor was the most powerful existence on the mid-level Archean Battlefield.
Even in the vast Starry Sky Sea, the Corpse Puppet Ancestor was one of the top existences.
Originally, Chu Xingyun's plan was to let Hu Li stand out and pretend to be a big-breasted, brainless girl with a lot of money to create the illusion that she was easy to fool. But …
He didn't expect that Bruiser's intuition would be wrong. That …
The corpse of the Primordial Era had been found in the Bone Jade Ore!
But all in all, Chu Xingyun didn't lose anything.
Although the corpse of the Primordial Era was precious, it depended on who had it.
Even if Chu Xingyun gave it his all, he would only be able to refine a corpse puppet that was comparable to an ordinary cultivator at best. It would be wishful thinking if he wanted to refine a corpse puppet that could contend against an expert from the three rankings.
In fact, not to mention a corpse puppet refined by Chu Xingyun, even if Chu Xingyun attacked with all his strength without any external help, he definitely wouldn't be a match for an expert from the Monarch Ranking.
And now, although he had lost the corpse of the Primordial Era … But …
He had obtained a piece of land and a permanent tax exemption. Most importantly … although the corpse puppet belonged to the Corpse Puppet Ancestor in name, the right to use it was under Chu Xingyun's control.
Of course, there was a condition. The corpse puppet … couldn't leave Puppet City.
Moreover, if the Corpse Puppeteer Patriarch wanted to use them, he could recall them at any time.
Fortunately, even if the Corpse Puppet Ancestor wanted to use it, it would return it after using it.
Of course, this Long-Armed Corpse Puppet could only be used in Puppet City, but it was enough for Chu Xingyun.
The most important and precious resource in the Intermediate Ancient Battlefield was the Bone Jade.
With the protection of the Long-armed Corpse Puppet and the Corpse Puppet Ancestor, as long as they were in Puppet City, the Ghost Squad was absolutely safe.
Even the top hundred experts on the Monarch Ranking would not dare to provoke the Corpse Puppet Ancestor.
Similarly, the Corpse Puppeteer Progenitor did not dare to provoke the other experts on the Monarch Ranking either.
Every single one of the top 100 was a domineering existence. Unless it was absolutely necessary … they would never fight against each other …
Although the top 100 had different rankings, it was hard to say who would win if they really fought against each other.
Chu Xingyun was not an expert on the three lists, but with the help of the Void Whip, he was able to make an expert on the Imperial Ranking run away. That was the power of external objects. This …
Chu Xingyun was not the only one who had such external objects. The other experts on the three lists all had them.
However, after Chu Xingyun had subdued the three thousand Void Whips, the Broken Land had become his nest.
In Chu Xingyun's territory, he naturally had the final say.
If Chu Xingyun went to the nests of the experts on the Imperial Ranking, he would not have the three thousand Void Whips.
Without the Void Whips, Chu Xingyun would not be a match for them even if they were bare-handed. And …
Moreover … there were basically experts on the three rankings who possessed existences similar to the Void Whip. But …
Which expert on the three lists did not have a few trump cards?
Chu Xingyun had not expected to find the Desolate Ancient's corpse, his plan had not been ruined.
Even if Hu Li had found the Desolate Ancient's corpse, she had only been lucky.
In the end, Hu Li had been fooled by everyone. Apart from …
Apart from the Bone Jade Ore that contained the Desolate Ancient's corpse, the other nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces of ore were all real big stones. They were not even worth a single Spiritual Bone. Because …
Thus, Chu Xingyun's goal was finally achieved. The image of Hu Li as a fool with a lot of money and a gullible person was established …
Hu Li set up her shop in the middle of the market, on the huge piece of land that the Corpse Puppet Patriarch had given her.
Since she did not have any ores, Hu Li patted her head and sent Bruiser to buy a lot of ores in the market.
After Bruiser obtained the right to purchase ores, he had a dimensional space in his body. Therefore, in the following days, Bruiser had nothing to do, so he went from stall to stall and bought all the Bone Jade Ore that he had a feeling for.
The price of Bone Jade Ore was set according to its size, and the price was basically fixed.
There was a difference in quality, as the stall owner, the hired puppets could only sell the ores according to the price and could not adjust the price at will. Because …
Every day, Bruiser would buy a large amount of Bone Jade Ore and bring it back to the shop to sell.
What made everyone speechless was that Hu Li would not hesitate to double the price of all the ores that Bruiser bought and sell them to the public.
Although there was a fixed price in the market, there was no explicit rule on the price to be sold.
Therefore, although Hu Li had broken the unspoken rules of the market by setting the price at will, no one could find trouble with Hu Li.
More importantly, with the Long-armed Corpse Puppet in charge and the Corpse Puppet Patriarch behind her, no one in Puppet City had the right and courage to provoke her.
Hu Li's stall was located directly above the Corpse Puppet Patriarch. Making trouble here was equivalent to standing on the Corpse Puppet Patriarch's nose. Wasn't that courting death?
Even without the Long-armed Corpse Puppet, no one would dare to mess around.
In the next few months, everyone gathered in the Desolate Ancient Tomb every night to continue harvesting soul fragments.
During the day, Chu Xingyun and the others cultivated in seclusion. Only Hu Li and Bruiser showed up.
At a high price, Hu Li hired hundreds of stone-cutting masters to cut open all the ores that Bruiser had purchased on the spot. Cut open
The Bone Jade Ore that was cut open was displayed on a wooden shelf. As for the ores, Hu Li did not waste them and stored them all in the dimensional space.
The dregs of these ores were very precious.
Ores contained a large amount of strange energy. This energy was what the Cockroach Emperor and the Cockroach Army needed the most to grow.
Bruiser's feeling was very accurate. All the Bone Jade Ore that Bruiser had picked out were either wrapped in spirit bones or contained strange energy.
Ores that contained strange energy were in large quantities.
According to Chu Xingyun's guess, these ores that contained strange energy should have been condensed from the blood of the various races in the Desolate Ancient War.
After hundreds of millions of years of gestation, the blood had long decayed. However, the energy and essence contained in the blood had been absorbed by these ores.
