The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1794: Chapter 1794: Deliberately Taking the Bait

Although the dangerous terrain where Purple Copper City is located has long since ceased to yield any treasures, the city’s presence ensures a steady stream of cultivators visiting. Some come by, while others plan to settle here.

Travelers like Zhan Yue Celestial are common in Purple Copper City, and such cultivators frequently visit the Purple Copper Commercial Building to purchase resources. The guards at the business building harbor no suspicion towards Zhan Yue.

”Are you worried that I don’t have enough Divine Crystals?” Zhan Yue Celestial interrupted the guard.

”That’s not what I meant, but according to the building’s rules, a Purple Card is required to ascend to the second floor for purchases.” The guard said with a forced smile.

The guards at Purple Copper Commercial Building didn’t particularly care about these passing cultivators.

After all, Purple Copper Commercial Building belongs to the esteemed Lord Bao Yi.

”Hmph, see if these Divine Crystals are enough to qualify me for the second floor!” Zhan Yue directly threw a Space Ring to the guard.

The guard instinctively caught it. With a Divine Thought, he probed the Space Ring.

The moment he did, his expression became quite interesting. His eyes shone brightly, and his breathing grew noticeably heavier. Truth be told, he was shocked by the number of Divine Crystals within the ring.

Even though he was just an ordinary guard at the Purple Copper Commercial Building and his realm wasn’t high, he had seen many notable figures and had considerable exposure. Although he had seen Divine Crystals, the quantity of ninth-level Divine Crystals in the ring startled him. The otherwise inconspicuous Space Ring contained hundreds of thousands of ninth-level Divine Crystals, piled like a small mountain.

”Is it enough? If not, I have more here!” Zhan Yue Celestial said boldly, an air of wealth about her.

”Enough, enough, enough! I’m truly sorry, I was being reckless earlier, please forgive me, esteemed guest.” The guard apologized, returning the Space Ring to Zhan Yue with both hands, subtly changing her address to esteemed guest.

”Call your manager over, I want to purchase something very valuable.” Zhan Yue said, her gaze shifting.

”Yes, esteemed guest, please wait a moment.” The guard immediately responded.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a blue robe appeared, following the guard to Zhan Yue.

”Esteemed guest, this is Manager Huang Mu of our Purple Copper Commercial Building.” The guard respectfully said to Zhan Yue.

Huang Mu was one of the managers at Purple Copper Commercial Building. Just now, after hearing from the guard that a passing cultivator had come to the building, and casually threw out a Space Ring containing hundreds of thousands of ninth-level Divine Crystals, he was immediately invigorated. He was a cultivator in the Heavenly Venerate Realm, his strength roughly reaching the First Tier of the Heavenly Venerate Level.

When he followed the guard out and saw that the passing cultivator was an exceedingly young and beautiful woman, he became even more excited.

Zhan Yue Celestial’s beauty was comparable to that of Bai Xue. Across the entire Chaotic Universe, it was exceedingly rare. In a place like Purple Copper City, a beauty of Zhan Yue’s caliber was almost unseen.

”Esteemed guest, I am Manager Huang Mu of the Purple Copper Commercial Building. I heard you wish to purchase some precious resources here?” Huang Mu said proactively, smiling.

”Yes, to save time, let’s go directly to the second floor. I hope I haven’t come here for nothing.” Zhan Yue responded, casting a cold glance at Huang Mu.

”Of course, please follow me.” Huang Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he led Zhan Yue up to the second floor of the Purple Copper Commercial Building.

The arrangement on the second floor was similar to the first, but the counters on the second floor were more refined and luxurious. Inside the counters were many precious Divine Grasses, minerals, and a few weapons and armors.

Zhan Yue quickly glanced across the second floor and then approached one of the counters.

Zhan Yue extended her hand and pointed, ”Take that out and let me see it.”

The servant inside the counter, seeing that Zhan Yue came with Manager Huang Mu, dared not utter any nonsense and immediately retrieved the selected piece of ore for Zhan Yue.

The ore was placed on the counter, its rich coldness quickly permeating the air.

”Esteemed guest, do you intend to purchase this piece...” Manager Huang Mu enthusiastically began to introduce the ore.

”Yes, this Cold Moon Stone is precisely what I need!” Zhan Yue interrupted before Huang Mu could finish.

Cold Moon Stone!

Huang Mu was slightly taken aback hearing the name. What he intended to say was not Cold Moon Stone, but Cold Sand Stone.

Although Cold Moon Stone and Cold Sand Stone differ by only one character, their values differ by a hundredfold. It’s worth noting that Cold Moon Stone and Cold Sand Stone are extremely similar, even down to their aura. Without in-depth research into these two ores, it’s incredibly easy to mistake one for the other. Similar stories circulate throughout the universe where unsuspecting adventurers, through fortunate circumstances, obtain extremely precious Cold Moon Stones, but mistakenly treat them as Cold Sand Stones, resulting in significant loss.

Upon hearing Zhan Yue address Cold Sand Stone as Cold Moon Stone, Huang Mu instinctively swallowed back the words ’Cold Sand Stone’.

The servant inside the counter glanced at Manager Huang Mu but remained silent.

”Manager Huang Mu, what’s the price of this Cold Moon Stone? If the price is right, I’ll buy it.” Zhan Yue decisively said.

”Haha, well... Cold Moon Stone is an extremely precious resource...” Huang Mu’s eyes shifted, deliberately slowing his speech, while internally contemplating what price to offer.

”Divine Crystals are no problem! Manager Huang Mu, just name a price, I don’t want to waste time.” Zhan Yue impatiently said.

Huang Mu looked at Zhan Yue.

From the first moment he saw Zhan Yue Celestial, Huang Mu was captivated, unable to resist the thought of perhaps developing a relationship. However, in this brief interaction, Huang Mu realized he might not stand any chance. This excessively beautiful woman hadn’t even looked directly at him.

Alright then! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless. After all, you were the one who mistook Cold Sand Stone for Cold Moon Stone.

”Cold Moon Stone, this piece isn’t small. It’s priced at... at three hundred thousand ninth-level Divine Crystals.” Huang Mu took a slight breath and quoted an astonishing price.

Three hundred thousand ninth-level Divine Crystals!

An ordinary strong Heavenly Venerate Level expert might not easily produce three hundred thousand ninth-level Divine Crystals at once.

”Hmm, seems like a fair price. Then, I’ll purchase this Cold Moon Stone for three hundred thousand ninth-level Divine Crystals.” Zhan Yue declared, showing no intention of bargaining, decisively buying the stone.

Upon hearing Zhan Yue’s words, Manager Huang Mu’s face flushed. For a cultivator like him, three hundred thousand ninth-level Divine Crystals was an enormous sum. The servant inside the counter also held her breath, not daring to exhale loudly.
