Chapter 179 Calculating the Core to Change Fate
It's not just cheap, it's incredibly cheap!

Leaving aside the crafting techniques of this brush and the other spiritual materials mixed in, just that demon marrow alone is something that only a demon beast at the Heavenly Consciousness Realm could produce. Where in the Nine Provinces would it not cause everyone to fight until their brains are splattered?

With seventy computing cores, if Pei Xia used up all of them every day, it would only take about twenty days.

In just over twenty days, I managed to create such a powerful brush; I never dared to do this in my wildest dreams.

He was almost ready to buy it and give the pear the best possible treatment!

But the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Beside him, the person in the mouth grinned and looked at him.

Pei Xia smiled bitterly to himself. Where was he going to get seventy arithmetic cores? He could only afford twenty-three at most, and even that wouldn't be cash; he'd have to pay in installments.

Indeed, a thousand words are not as good as one’s own experience. No wonder Han Youzhi and Qiu Sheng value Yu Qiong so much.

The computing core can be produced by itself at almost no cost. As long as Yuqiong has enough, the investment and output will be astonishing!
Pei Xia didn't open her mouth, and the pig-headed man didn't urge her. In the end, the man in her mouth came to Pei Xia's rescue: "This seventy-yuan deal is not small. Let's go look somewhere else."

Pei Xia nodded and moved to follow the person she was talking about.

They walked from one cloud to another, seeing only four or five people in total. They didn't wander around, but sat on the clouds. Some had set up stalls, while others seemed to have come to enjoy some leisure, holding books and engrossed in reading.

Pei Xia glanced at the items and found that most of them were of excellent quality, but that wasn't always the case; some smaller, unusual magical artifacts could also be seen.

There were even stalls with stacks of silver notes or small piles of gold, shouting slogans like "Emergency Response in the Jianghu." Pei Xia inexplicably thought of the seasonings that Han Youzhi had suddenly pulled out in the underground palace, and realized that it must have been a kind of "Emergency Response in the Jianghu."

The person in the mouth didn't stop along the way, continuing to introduce to Pei Xia: "The Jade Universe has its own storage space. It can be used to store the calculation core, or to store worldly items, and to enter and exit the Jade Palace. Most of the goods in front of us come from this."

Therefore, two jade pendants and twenty calculation cores are still the ideal situation. If Pei Xia uses his space to store items, the number of calculation cores he can hold will be further reduced.

No wonder, all the items I saw other jade sellers along the way were quite miniature and small, with no large items; apparently, they couldn't bring them in.

However, as the initial shock gradually subsided, new questions arose in Pei Xia's mind.

Since he thinks that exchanging seventy computing cores for the Demon Marrow Array Brush is a very profitable business.

Why would the pig-headed man take out the array pen to replace the calculation core?

The pig-headed man didn't say much, but he actually revealed a lot of information.

For example, he mentioned that they are currently collecting computing chips, which are not easy to "replace" under normal circumstances.

Pei Xia pondered for a while and slowly understood.

Based on Yuqiong's possession of the computing chip, this applies not only to him as the "buyer" but also to those "sellers".

The fact that the pig-headed man dared to ask for seventy dollars means that he possesses at least eight jade pendants in reality!

For him, since he could produce computing cores every day anyway, accumulating a large number of computing cores was a meaningless act. Therefore, Qiongxiao Yuyu was probably bartering most of the time.

Large-scale chip transactions are unlikely to be frequent; small-scale transactions are more common.

If that's the case, then why have the pig-headed people started demanding computing chips in large quantities again recently?
First, he must have used up his reserve computing chips. Then, just recently, he had a transaction that absolutely required computing chips to complete.

If everyone is a jade holder like them, there's no reason for them to deliberately cause trouble and insist on collecting the jade core.

The only explanation is that there is another mystery related to the computing chip in the Jade Palace.

Pei Xia asked the person in the mouth, "Besides using it for trading, what else can the computing core do?" "Once the computing core is condensed, it cannot be restored to computing power. At least for us, it is of no use."

The person in the mouth raised his hand and pointed to the top of the layers of clouds: "But for this person, it may not be the case."

Pei Xia squinted and looked over, but only saw thick clouds: "What do you mean?"

"The Jade Palace of Qiongxiao should be divided into two parts, one is called Qiongxiao, which is the place we are currently in, and the other is called Yuyu."

The person in the mouth raised his chin: "It is said to be the residence of the Lord of the Jade Palace, whom we usually call 'Lord of the Tower'."

"Qiongxiao is open all the time. You saw it on the way here. Some people were bartering, and some were seeking peace and quiet. No one cared. But Yuyu is only open once a month."

"If what a high-level Su Master holds in his hands is a rare treasure in the human world, then what the Master can offer is a treasure that transcends common sense."

"This is the underlying foundation of the Jade Palace: killing, stealing jade, bartering, and earning computing cores. They take a massive amount of computing cores to the Jade Palace Tower to gamble on an opportunity that can allow them to defy fate."

When the person in the mouth said these things, he was not very emotional, as if he had already let go of those unattainable goals.

But Pei Xia's eyes narrowed slightly as she listened: "Defying fate? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

The person in the mouth stopped and turned to look at him: "As far as I know, Jade Pavilion has only completed three transactions this year, including a jade slip containing clues to the 'Proving the Dao Heavenly Pavilion,' a seventh-realm master's cheat code, and a Heavenly Longevity and Fortune Pill."

Pei Xia was filled with awe.

The Heavenly Pavilion of Proving the Dao is a legend within the Worldly Sect. It is a top-tier opportunity that allows martial artists to break through the barrier of proving the Dao. Not to mention the external divine mechanism, this thing has never been heard of appearing in public.

As for the Heavenly Longevity and Fortune Elixir, to put it simply: it grants ten years of lifespan.

Pei Xia was about to start the process of inhaling cold air when the person in his mouth blocked his breath with a single sentence: "I heard from people who have been to Yuyu Tower that these are all cheap goods."

My heart started beating faster and faster.

Over the years, especially after moving to Weishan, there have been very few people and things that could shake Pei Xia's heart.

The main reason was the existence of the calamity pig, which made him begin to take everything lightly at a young age.

But as Pei Xia gained a deeper understanding of the Jade Palace, she felt a renewed sense of determination and pursuit.

He had personally tested Qiu Sheng's magic before, and the Calamity Pig had failed to break free from it.

Does this mean that Qiongxiao Yuyu, this secluded sect, possesses the power to fight against the Calamity Pig?

If that's the case, when enlightenment, divine power, and lifespan are all considered cheap, then among those unseen "expensive things," could there be something capable of eradicating the calamity?

Pei Xia took a long time to catch her breath before she could slowly adjust her mindset.

The person in the mouth didn't seem surprised by his performance. He smiled and said, "Don't you feel like you've found a way to break all the limitations this world imposes on you?"

Pei Xia was unwilling to make such an unscientific and absolute statement.

But it must be admitted that there was a moment when the "computing chip" was elevated to an extremely high status in his mind.

Old Han can't hold on?
I can't take it anymore!
