Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 237 News
"As expected, the Secret Pattern School is not something that can be easily deciphered! However, I am only at the Realm Lord level now, so I have plenty of time. Let the Ancestral Dragon Avatar study it slowly." Jiang Ye shook his head helplessly.

"I'll have to research it."

"What is the actual value of the other two world rings and all those massive treasures?"

……

The two world rings together are worth at least hundreds of billions of Chaos Units, and Jiang Ye needs to make an overall estimate of all of this.

However, due to the sheer number and variety of items, Jiang Ye and Xiao Pi worked together diligently to search and study the materials carefully in the study of the Yuxiangshan Primitive Area Manor.

Different items, sold in different ways, have different prices. So it's not as simple as just checking the price of each item and calculating the total. Moreover, some weapons, like those of the Yanji indigenous people, are uniquely manufactured by them, and you simply can't find relevant price references online.

……

Jiang Ye, leveraging his status as a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, utilized the virtual universe network and mobilized his connections in Hongmeng City to conduct a thorough investigation through various shops and channels.

For seven whole days, without sleep or rest, we finally obtained approximate prices for all the items.

"The first World Ring, although the most expensive items are only for the use of the World Lord, is actually made up of mountains, lakes, and countless other items that make up an entire landmass... The total value is approximately 2350 billion Chaos Units."

"The second World Ring is a treasure used by immortal gods. There are far fewer of them, but when accumulated, they are worth approximately 3620 billion Chaos Units."

"Add all together."

"Approximately 6000 billion mixed units."

Inside the study in the primitive area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain.

Jiang Ye and the fist-sized Pi were both looking at the screen, watching the final calculated total value.

Little Pi blinked excitedly and said in a clear voice, "Congratulations, Master, you've made another fortune!"

"Haha... It's just a small amount of money!" Jiang Ye grinned. For him, if he wanted money, he only needed to take some treasures, upgrade the Qiankun Cauldron, and then sell them to make a hundred or a thousand times the profit. However, for Jiang Ye, money was enough as long as he had enough. He wouldn't waste his time and energy on something like this.

As strength increases, especially for those at the level of Cosmic Venerable or above, the treasures they need become increasingly scarce and rare. Many of these treasures cannot be bought with money and can only be obtained through bartering.

Take the Night Dawn, Jiang Ye's worst possession right now, for example; there's nowhere to buy it with money.

The wealth of the powerful is almost entirely comprised of fixed assets.

Jiang Ye possesses a vast amount of fixed assets, including the Starry Sky Cloak, the Devouring Abyss Sword, the Flowing Light Gale Disc, and various primordial artifacts… all of which are fixed assets. He is unwilling to sell these precious treasures, as while treasures can be exchanged for money, money may not be able to buy enough treasures. For example, if Jiang Ye were to urgently need a particular treasure one day…

But that treasure was unavailable for purchase.

Jiang Ye could then publicly declare, "I will exchange my supreme treasure, the 'Starry Sky Cloak,' for a certain treasure." This would make it much easier to succeed, as certain super-powerful beings from the universe who desperately wanted the Starry Sky Cloak would be willing to provide Jiang Ye with some treasure in exchange for the cloak.

"The most precious treasures have all been preserved."

"Those things that are useless to me and are common in the universe should be sold off," Jiang Ye thought to himself. What suits me is what's best.

However, the treasures of other powerful figures who have attained the rank of king may not be suitable for him.

In the days that followed, Jiang Ye began to handle these goods in an orderly manner.

The vast array of items in the First World Ring were far too ordinary for Hongmeng City, which specialized in dealing with powerful figures who had reached the King level, and were simply unsellable.

With such a large quantity available, ordinary shops simply couldn't afford to buy them all. Left with no other option, Jiang Ye had to sell to the Virtual Universe Company. Fortunately, the Virtual Universe Company's acquisition department, out of consideration for Jiang Ye's status as a disciple of the Chaos City Lord, didn't dare to lower the price.

"Sell!"

"Convert all the useless and common things into money." Jiang Ye worked hard, but he felt happy.

******
Jiang Ye was methodically processing the massive amount of treasures he had through various channels when a message from Hongmeng City caught his attention.

Hongmeng City, a renowned trading hub for the human race.

now,

Jiang Ye was in a luxurious restaurant in the city.

Inside the private room, the aroma of sandalwood wafted through the air, and soft lighting cast a warm yellow glow on the gilded tables and chairs. The exquisite paintings hanging on the walls came to life under the light, adding a touch of elegance to the entire room.

Sitting opposite Jiang Ye was King Tianmei, who was also a member of the human race.

King Tianmei was from the fox-human race. He was tall and slender, and his moon-white robe swayed gently in the wind. His fox tail would occasionally sway playfully, and his handsome face had a pair of eyes that shone with a cunning light.

As their conversation drew to a close, King Tianmei elegantly raised his gilded wine glass. The spirit wine within shimmered with a crystalline luster and emitted an alluring aroma.

She took a small sip, her gaze fixed intently on Jiang Ye: "Honghuang, this transaction went extremely smoothly. I look forward to our next collaboration!"

Jiang Ye smiled slightly, stood up and replied, "You're too kind, Mr. Tianmei. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

After saying that, he straightened his clothes and prepared to leave.

At that very moment, a burst of lively conversation suddenly came from the next table, sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet environment.

"Hey, have you heard? The Morning Sand Starfield in the Seventh Outer Battlefield has been acting strangely lately. Many powerful figures have mysteriously disappeared after entering, even the renowned Crimson Flame King has vanished without a trace after going in!" A shrill voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Ye stopped abruptly, his gaze turning towards the next room.

Tianmei Wang's fox ears also stood up, and his aura solidified. The two exchanged a tacit glance.

On this day, Mei Wang, like Jiang Ye, was also in the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield.

“That’s right!” another rough voice chimed in. “I’ve also heard that someone saw an ancient altar in the core area of ​​the Morning Sand Starfield. The altar was covered with strange runes, each one emitting an eerie light, as if it could devour people’s souls. Perhaps the Crimson Flame King and the others were taken away by this altar.”

"However, as the old saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity it often holds. The Morning Sand Starfield is a well-known adventure zone in the Seventh Outer Battlefield, and that altar that suddenly appeared there might just be a treasure!" The shrill voice carried a mysterious aura, as if sharing a shocking secret. "I've heard that many alien king-level powerhouses who were originally in the Star Tower in the Seventh Outer Battlefield have secretly formed teams and gone there. The Zerg's Nan Cheng, the Mechanical Race's Mingyun King, and even our human race's Seven Sword Kings seem to have gone there."
