Chapter 2107: Selling the Void Eye

Netherworld Crystal Stone?

What is that?

It was the first time Jing Yan heard of this item; he hadn’t heard of Netherworld Crystal Stone even when he was in the Chaos World. Moreover, its value was astonishing - one Netherworld Crystal Stone was worth tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Black Crystal Stones!

Jing Yan’s eyes lit up.

The Yellow Spring Cave mentioned by Lord Ying Zhu indeed was a shortcut to resource acquisition; the only downside was that the opening time of the Yellow Spring Cave was unknown, and when it would open next was also uncertain.

The five million Black Crystal Stones just obtained from Lord Ying Zhu, although seemingly significant, would likely be quickly expended when truly used. Jing Yan had spent over a million Black Crystal Stones in just ten years; of the two million Black Crystal Stones from his sale of a Netherworld Realm treasure, only about three hundred thousand remained. Such a consumption rate was already Jing Yan being relatively frugal.

If all five million Black Crystal Stones were used solely for realm restoration, it might roughly restore him to the peak level of the All Things Realm. But the cultivation of the Seven Luminaries Technique would be delayed.

The Seven Luminaries Technique, as it progresses, requires more and more materials. For the Fifth Layer of the Seven Luminaries Technique, Jing Yan estimated it would require several million Black Crystal Stones. Cultivating the Sixth Layer would definitively require in the tens of millions of Black Crystal Stones. As for the materials for the Seventh Layer, they were even more astonishing.

This was inevitable, as the Seven Luminaries Technique was a top-level secret technique in the Chaos World. Mastering such a fearsomely powerful spell naturally required an extraordinarily high price.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, if you wish to enter the Yellow Spring Cave, you must obtain a spot from the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch. The current situation is that the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch likely doesn’t yet know of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s name. Even if the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch learns of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s existence, obtaining that spot would still be a difficult endeavor,” Lord Ying Zhu said, looking at the silent Jing Yan.

”I understand. We’ll take it slow. If we can enter, we’ll enter; if not, there’s no forcing it either.” Jing Yan smiled.

”I’ll try to let Lord Heavenly Monarch know about Fellow Daoist Jing Yan first. When the Yellow Spring Cave opens, the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch also hopes to send the strongest Wanwu Realm Practitioner into the cave, as a stronger practitioner is more likely to obtain the Netherworld Crystal Stone within the cave. However, I cannot give any guarantee to Fellow Daoist Jing Yan; I can only say I will do my best.”

Lord Ying Zhu chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, ”I’m not afraid of Fellow Daoist Jing Yan laughing; I have little status in front of the Wuxia Heavenly Monarch. I might not even be able to meet him.”

”No need to say that, my lord. I’m already very grateful for your help,” Jing Yan said sincerely.

”Now that Fellow Daoist Jing Yan understands, I am at ease,” Lord Ying Zhu exhaled.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, if you’re short on Black Crystal Stones, I’ll try my best to help you stockpile,” Lord Ying Zhu was determined to ally with Jing Yan.

Jing Yan simply smiled.

The resources he lacked were not ones that Lord Ying Zhu could provide. Lord Ying Zhu himself was merely at the Nether Sky Realm. Although he managed a territory, what could it produce in ten thousand years? Moreover, Jing Yan couldn’t allow Lord Ying Zhu to give most of his yield to him, right?

After some thought, Jing Yan decided to sell another item.

Jing Yan took out the Void Eye from the Qiankun World. This Void Eye was originally one of the top secret treasures of the Void Divine Hall in the Chaos World. After acquiring this Void Eye, Jing Yan gleaned some information about virtualization ability. However, later on, Jing Yan obtained a higher-level treasure of this kind—the Shadow Logic Divine Cloth. With the Shadow Logic Divine Cloth, Jing Yan no longer had much need for the Void Eye.

But this Void Eye could probably fetch a good price, as it was one of the top secret treasures in the Chaos World. Its value vastly surpasses any Netherworld Realm treasure, and should even exceed most Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm treasures.

”Lord Ying Zhu, I have an item I wish to sell; do you have any good avenues for sale?” Jing Yan took out the Void Eye and asked Lord Ying Zhu.

”This is...” Lord Ying Zhu’s pupils contracted upon seeing the Void Eye.

He didn’t recognize the Void Eye, but he could still discern its extraordinariness. This was definitely a treasure of Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level. Although the pattern on its surface didn’t quite align with the laws of the Immortal Domain, Lord Ying Zhu’s heart was pounding.

Even Lord Ying Zhu himself only had one Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm treasure, and it was merely the most ordinary kind.

”I don’t need this item for now, so I plan to exchange it for Black Crystal Stones or materials,” Jing Yan squinted his eyes.

He wasn’t worried that Lord Ying Zhu would harbor any malicious intent for profit. Although they were in Divine Martial City, and he might not currently pose a threat to Lord Ying Zhu, if he wished to leave, Lord Ying Zhu definitely couldn’t stop him. Jing Yan’s ability in the Void wasn’t any lesser than his other strengths.

From his brief interaction with Lord Ying Zhu, Jing Yan could roughly judge that he wouldn’t harbor any ill intentions for a single Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm treasure.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you... you want to sell this Immortal Rhythm treasure?” Lord Ying Zhu’s eyes widened.

Normally, cultivators wouldn’t easily sell powerful treasures acquired, even Netherworld Realm treasures weren’t easy to buy, let alone Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm treasures. These enormously powerful treasures were easy to trade for Black Crystal Stones but hard to buy using them.

”Yes.” Jing Yan confirmed again.

”Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the value of this Immortal Rhythm treasure is at least tens of millions of Black Crystal Stones. If you want to sell it, you should avoid selling it to institutions like the Mystic Moon Trading House. They’re blood-sucking vampires who will try every way to squeeze the price down; even a 10-20% decrease is a significant loss. In my opinion, if you truly want to sell this treasure, you should put it in a high-end auction. In our Blue Rain Divine Continent, many would be interested.”

”Speaking of which, I recall there’s a high-end auction coming up in Radiant City soon. Radiant City is the main city of the Chunyu Family’s territory. The Chunyu Family is one of the most powerful families in Blue Rain Divine Continent, far beyond what my small Ying Family can compare with. There, no riffraff dare to make trouble.” Lord Ying Zhu explained slowly.

”In that case, let’s auction it there.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Alright, I’ll arrange it. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, just wait for my news. It may be quick, three to five years, or slow, ten to twenty years,” Lord Ying Zhu spoke casually.
