The Ancient Star City was split into three major districts, the outer district, the inner district, and the core district.
Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist noticed that the outer district was more active with demonic beast and demon kings. Most of the demonic beast and demon emperors would be in the inner district.
After asking around, Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu found out there was a requirement to enter the inner district. One had to be at the Law Phase Realm or accumulated a transaction amount of 100 million mid-grade spirit stones in the Ancient Star City and the Ancient Star Merchant Guild.
100 million mid-grade spirit stones wasn’t a small sum and most of the Primary Sea Realm monarchs didn’t have such wealth. Only half-emperors and combat emperors would have such wealth.
“Let’s take a look around the outer district first.”
Li Fuchen wanted to look around to see if the outer district had any precious artifacts that could recover their qi blood source.
The outer district had a trade hall and many of the demonic beast kings had set up their stalls here.
There might not be a lot of human monarchs in the Ancient Star City, but that was only in comparison with the demonic beast race. There were still around a few thousand human monarchs and they were all the customers of the demonic beast kings.
“10,000-year Deep Sea Pearl, 1 million mid-grade spirit stones for each pearl. I have a total of three.” There was a long-faced middle-aged demonic beast king with aquatic grass-like hair that was hawking out near the duo.
“2 million mid-grade spirit stones for three. Deal or not?” Yan Qingwu asked.
Women always had a preference towards pearl-like things, it was the same for great empresses.
“2 million is too little, at least 2.8 million.” The grass-haired demonic beast king shook its head.
“If you aren’t going to sell for 2 million, then there is no deal.” Yan Qingwu turned and left.
“2.5 million… 2.3 million… At least 2.1 million… You humans are too ruthless! Deal at 2 million then!” The grass-haired demonic beast king had no choice but to make the deal after seeing that Yan Qingwu was unmoved.
Once Yan Qingwu handed over the 2 million mid-grade spirit stones, the demonic beast king’s eyes still revealed a trace of happiness.
2 million mid-grade spirit stones might be below his expectations, but it was still better than to sell to the Ancient Star City. The city was only accepting 10,000-year Deep Sea Pearls for 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones each.
The additional 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones was enough for the demonic beast king to cultivate for a period of time.
“Fire Jade Coral, one for 5 million mid-grade spirit stones.”
“Cold Water True Extract, one drop for 3 million mid-grade spirit stones.”
“Sky Desolate Rock, 8 million mid-grade spirit stones.”
…
There was constant hawking in the trade hall. After the demonic beast kings transformed into humans, they didn’t have as much ferocity and were more like profiteers. It was truly a rare sight.
“How much are you still this Dragon Blood Treasure Pearl for?” Li Fuchen pointed at a blood red pearl in the stall that was owned by a bald middle-aged man who was closing his eyes.
Inside the blood red pearl, there was a dark red strand swimming around and it looked like a small dragon.
The Dragon Blood Treasure Pearl was an artifact that could replenish the qi blood source by a little. It might not be as effective as the Thunder Calamity Herb, but it would still be worth at least 1000 high-grade spirit stones on the Emperor Sky Continent. It would be equivalent to 10 million mid-grade spirit stones.
“100 million mid-grade spirit stones.” The bald middle-aged man didn’t even blink his eyes.
“100 million mid-grade spirit stones? Too expensive…” Li Fuchen frowned.
The Dragon Blood Treasure Pearl didn’t really contain dragon blood, moreover, if it really contained dragon blood, one would need to see what kind of dragon blood was contained. The price difference between flood dragon blood and true dragon blood would be poles apart.
“Why? You don’t wish to buy it?” The bald middle-aged man opened his eyes. It was a pair of blood red eyes and it was filled with unending ruthlessness and bloodiness.
“Too expensive, I can’t afford it.” Li Fuchen walked away.
“Don’t you know that if you look at my things and ask me for the price, you have to buy it.” The bald middle-aged man threatened.
“This is the Ancient Star City, do you wish to make a move here?” Li Fuchen asked.
“Of course, I cannot make a move in the Ancient Star City, unless you stay here for your entire life.”
“You don’t need to fret over it.” Li Fuchen left.
“That kid is certainly dead. The Blood Demonic King’s father is the Blood Demonic Great Ruler. The Blood Demonic Great Ruler is the strongest demonic beast ruler within hundreds of millions of miles2miles1 Chinese mile = 500 meters. Even the Ancient Stary City would need to show respect to him.”
“I reckoned that he doesn’t know who is the Blood Demonic King!”
“Previously, two human monarchs offended the Blood Demonic King. After they left the Ancient Star City, they were killed. If the kid is smart enough, he should just stay in the Ancient Star City for his entire lifetime. He will definitely die if he ventures out.”
The demonic beast kings were in a heated discussion.
“I really don’t know if you have great luck or you are great at inviting trouble? You have just arrived but you already provoked a great ruler of the demonic beast race.” Yan Qingwu shook her head.
Li Fuchen laughed bitterly, “Who would have known that I will offend a second generation ancestor.”
The humans had second generation ancestors, it was obviously the same for the demonic beasts.
Even if he spent 100 million mid-grade spirit stones to purchase the Dragon Blood Treasure Pearl earlier, he would also be targeted.
‘Do not expose one’s wealth.’ This was a saying that was very true.
Most of the demonic beast kings’ stalls were selling deep sea artifacts. Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu might not need them right now, but they had ample wealth and didn’t mind purchasing precious items that weren’t available in the human world.
It was especially the case for Li Fuchen as he had close to 1000 million mid-grade spirit stones. He had plenty of high-grade spirit stones too, therefore, it was nothing for him to purchase some items.
In the outer district, the duo had already gone through most of the major trading halls and there weren’t any artifacts that could replenish the qi blood source.
“It seems like we have to trade with the Ancient Star City.”
Even if the duo were fools, they knew that the Ancient Star City sold things at an expensive price, after all, they took hold of the monopoly of this place.
As expected…
“Dragon blood Treasure Pearl, 30 million mid-grade spirit stones.”
“Thunder Calamity Herb, 10 million mid-grade spirit stones.*
“Heaven Dragon Fruit, 30 thousand high-grade spirit stones.”
“…”
In the Ancient Star City’s resource hall, there was a white-haired elderly monarch who introduced.
Without any choice, the duo bought a Thunder Calamity Herb each.
With the Thunder Calamity Herb, the duo had to find a place to rest and go into seclusion.
In the outer district, the inns were separated into four classes, A, B, C, and D.
D class inns provided a place to rest and to go into seclusion. It would cost 100 mid-grade spirit stones a day.
C class inns were covered with a cultivation array and the effects were comparable with the Seven Color Continent. Each day would cost 500 mid-grade spirit stones.
B class inns were slightly better. The cultivation effects were comparable to the inner parts of the Red Rainbow Sect. It would cost 3000 mid-grade spirit stones for each day.
As for A class inns, the cultivation effects were comparable with the Emperor Sky Continent. A single day would need 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
The cultivation arrays in the Ancient Star City were constructed above the quasi-class 9 arrays, therefore, the effects were extraordinary.
These were just the inns in the outer district.
The inner district also separated the inns into the classes, A, B, C, and D.
The D class inns in the inner district had cultivation effects that were better than the outer district’s A class inns. A single day would require 1 high-grade spirit stone.
C class inns would need 2 high-grade spirit stones a day.
B class inns would need 5 high-grade spirit stones per day.
A class inns would require 20 high-grade spirit stones each day.
The duo had already accumulated transaction values above 100 million mid-grade spirit stones and were qualified to enter the inner district.
However, the duo didn’t wish to waste high-grade spirit stones and had a chosen D class inn in the inner district which would only need 1 high-grade spirit stone a day.
“The cultivation effects are indeed great. It is a pity that the heaven and earth law isn’t as comprehensive as on the Emperor Sky Continent.” Li Fuchen silently thought after entering the inner district’s D class inn.
Without a comprehensive heaven and earth law, it would be harder to comprehend it. After all, the cultivation of the martil dao wasn’t just to absorb heaven and earth qi.
Of course, Li Fuchen could see that the inn owners in the Ancient Star City were targeting the demonic beast race. The demonic beasts didn’t have to comprehend too many things. They simply had to absorb qi and excavate their bloodlines.
