Chapter 472 Selling Mysterious Materials, Mysterious Crystals Hard to Buy, Encountering Wei Longfang City Again (Please Subscribe)

"Brother Gui, how could I possibly accept this—"

Wei Long's expression immediately improved. Although he said this, his hands honestly took the shrimp pearl worth a thousand blood coins, stuffed it into his pocket, and thumped his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, Brother Gui."

"The attack on the Inner Sea by 'Covering the Moon City' won't stop anytime soon; there's bound to be even more good stuff to come—"

At this point, he seemed to remember something, his eyes darted around, and he leaned closer to Zhu Yu, whispering, "If—I mean, if—I were to get you a descendant of 'Lord Zhenhai,' what price would you offer, Brother Gui?"

As if afraid he might not know "Lord Zhenhai," he added, "Lord Zhenhai's true form is a dragon capable of riding the clouds and mist—"

Zhu Yu gave him a strange look. Who exactly was this guy?

It would be good enough if they could get the offspring of the "Sea Devouring King". After all, the "Sea-Turning Toad" is difficult to grow and consumes a lot of resources. For the big shots in "Moon-Covering City", it has no value in cultivating.

But "Zhenhai Jun" is different.

That's a dragon! He glanced at it from afar earlier, and even if it wasn't a pure-blooded dragon, it was still a dragon-type demon beast with extremely rich blood.

Such a precious monster.

Even the big shots in "Covering the Moon City" would fight tooth and nail for it.

Selling his offspring—Wei Long really dared to think of that.

Zhu Yu casually replied, "Brother Wei, as many as you want." Having said that, he stepped to the carriage shaft and used his supernatural powers to pretend...

The "Sea Toad" lifted the water tank with a strange gesture.

Nodding to Wei Long, who was beaming with joy, he turned and walked toward the stall that offered the highest price for strange materials.

Arriving at the stall.

He said to the old man across the stall, "There are quite a lot of strange materials; can you handle them all?"

Sensing Zhu Yu's "Blood Fiend" realm aura, the old man dared not be negligent in the slightest. He rose, cupped his hands in a salute, and said with a slightly arrogant expression, "My Wu family has been running a 'Strange Material' shop for hundreds of years. We even have a shop in the 'Central Capital' of the dynasty. We can handle any amount of strange materials."

Upon hearing this...

Without wasting any words, Zhu Yu directly took out all the thousands of strange materials he had picked from the strange realm, piling them up in a dazzling display, and said calmly, "Give me an estimate."

The old man snapped out of his daze, his wrinkled face contorting into a smile, and nodded repeatedly. "Alright, please wait a moment, sir. I'll give you a price estimate right away."

As he spoke, he instructed the group of people around him to count the strange materials.

The old man was very measured in his actions. Every time he counted a strange material, he would announce its origin and value, while his attendant would record it.

Count them one by one.

Since most of them were "Blood Realm" materials, the price quickly exceeded 100,000 Blood Coins and is still rising.

This sight drew strange glances from passersby and caused humans to frequently turn their heads in disbelief.

Some stall owners couldn't help but cast their gazes in.

"Where did he get so many 'Blood Realm' artifacts? I've never heard of a 'Blood Realm' being opened up in the 'Black Dragon Ghost Field'—"

"Hiss, could it be the storm from the other day? This guy's really lucky—"

"Hmph, luck? Do you even have the ability to snatch it up?"

"I heard that because of this, the Kowloon Gang suffered considerable losses, and many people also died in 'Moonlight City'—"

'

'

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, but no one dared to harbor any greedy thoughts.

The person who can produce so many valuable artifacts at once must either have powerful connections or be incredibly strong.

Regardless of which one.

None of them are people they can afford to offend.

Not far away.

Wei Long was about to drive away when he caught sight of the mountain of strange materials that Zhu Yu had taken out, and when he heard the old man's price, he couldn't take his eyes off them.

Coming to my senses, I was filled with frustration and regret.

"I deserve to die—"

After calming down, he took a deep look at Zhu Yu, raised his whip, and drove away from the "Black Dragon Ghost Field".

soon.

The old man then finished counting all the strange materials that Zhu Yu had brought. He took the book handed to him by his attendant, checked it against the book again, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked at Zhu Yu and quoted the total price.

"Guest, you have sold a total of 2,782 'Blood Realm' artifacts and 1,560 'Dark Realm' artifacts—"

"The total price is—"

"Two million eight hundred and seventy thousand 'blood money' coins"

The old man chuckled, "I'll make the decision; how about we accept two million nine hundred thousand 'blood money' from the guest?"

This statement came out.

This immediately caused a collective gasp of surprise.

Two million nine hundred thousand "blood money"!

Ninety-nine percent of the people present had never even seen a ghost, let alone made a profit from it.

In a short time.

Some were envious and jealous, while others harbored malicious intentions, but their gazes toward Zhu Yu were filled with overflowing envy.

"Can."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "I want 400,000 'blood coins,' and the rest will be exchanged for 'black-grade' ghost crystals."

The "blood money" contains a thin "spiritual origin".

Even a thousand "blood coins" might not be enough to extract a "spiritual essence". Its main components are still "blood and qi power" and "yang flame" aura, which are not very useful to the "body".

"Black-grade Mysterious Crystal—"

The old man gave him a strange look, but did not refuse. He gave a few instructions to his attendant, who ran off and soon returned with a bald, burly man carrying a wooden box on his shoulder.

When it came close.

The old man cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Hall Master Zhao."

The bald, burly man, Zhao Da, placed the wooden box on the stall table, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "The ghost crystals that have been piling up in the warehouse will be sold to you guys anyway, it doesn't matter when we sell them."

Although he said that, the old man did not think so. He took out a piece of yellowish-brown cloth-like paper from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Da's hand, saying with a smile, "A little something to thank you. Please have some tea with Master Zhao and the brothers."

"Look at you, we're old acquaintances now—"

Zhao Da glanced at it and saw the number one thousand on it. His smile widened. After refusing several times, he finally put it in his pocket and pretended to be dissatisfied, saying, "We're like family, big brother. You can't do this again."

"Okay, okay."

The old man didn't believe him at all. He chuckled and nodded in agreement. He turned around, opened the box, and revealed a dense pile of strange crystals, filling the entire box. He looked at Zhu Yu and said with a smile, "Here are one million low-grade strange crystals."

"Furthermore, I would like to add another 500,000 'blood money' for the guest. Is that acceptable?"

"it is good."

After a moment's thought, Zhu Yu nodded in agreement.

Although the purchase price of a low-grade "mysterious crystal" is two "blood coins", the selling price is doubled to four "blood coins".

The price the old man offered him was already quite fair.

Seeing that Zhu Yu readily agreed, the old man was also satisfied with completing a big deal and quickly settled the "blood money" and "mysterious crystals".

They knew that the supernatural disliked using "blood tickets".

The money delivered was all real, hard-earned money.

Zhu Yu put the "mysterious crystal" and "blood money" into the Mysterious Domain, glanced thoughtfully at Zhao Da who was still standing to the side, took out a thousand "blood money" from the Mysterious Domain, handed them to Zhao Da, and said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Hall Master Zhao. This is a small gift. Please have some tea with Hall Master Zhao and the brothers."

"Oh, brother, you're too kind—"

Zhao Da's tense face immediately relaxed. After refusing for a couple of minutes, he accepted the "blood money," said "Brother, come find me if you need anything," and then turned and left happily.

Zhu Yu exchanged a glance with the old man, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

After releasing the baby "sea toad" back into the haunted area and instructing Bai Jingjing to feed and care for it, he left the haunted area again.

The following month.

Zhu Yu left the territory of "Zheyue City" and wandered around the black markets of the neighboring territory of "Tianhuo City" and some inland cities.

He sold all three hundred "Longevity Pills" that his main body had transferred to him for about 300,000 "blood money" each.

They obtained a total of 90 million "blood money".

But just when he wanted to exchange "blood money" for "mysterious crystals", he found that it was impossible for him to buy "mysterious crystals" in large quantities.

"Strange crystals" are scarce in inland areas.

Often, even a dozen or so black markets cannot gather a million "mysterious crystals".

The territories of each major city along the coast are far apart.

same.

It's difficult to buy large quantities of Mystic Crystals; you can only buy them little by little.

Zhu Yu spent more than half a month running back and forth between the three interconnected cities of "Tianhuo", "Zheyue", and "Wuya", dodging countless ambushes and pursuits, before finally purchasing nearly ten million "ghost crystals".

However, this has also attracted the attention of many forces.

Helpless, Zhu Yu had no choice but to return to the Ghost Field, forge an altar, and transfer the eleven million "Ghost Crystals" in his hand to his main body. He then obediently stayed in the Ghost Field, nurturing and caring for the monsters he had raised.

It's better to say something than to say it.

"Turning Sea Toad" truly lives up to its reputation as a monstrous talent with the potential to reach the "Netherworld Rank".

As soon as it entered the water.

They then dispersed and forcefully occupied the tens of thousands of acres of strange fields.

Whether it's the "King Crab" that has been promoted to the black level, the "Ring-tailed Snake" or the "Thousand-thread Pupil" or the "White Tower Jellyfish" or the "Firefly Floating Life" and other strange creatures, they have all become one of the prey of these giant tadpoles.

Fortunately, there was the blood-nourishing food prepared by Zhu Yu.

The "Turning Toad" monster is more interested in chasing prey to expend its energy than in its own body.

Time passed day by day.

With him sparing no expense and providing ample "blood food," the strange seedlings in the strange realm grew extremely fast, flourishing vigorously.

Although Zhu Yu did not leave the haunted field, he would take Bai Jingjing to visit the market set up at the entrance of the haunted field every few days.

When they see good seedlings, they buy a batch, which greatly enriches the ecosystem of the ghost field.

I also occasionally buy some strange crystals.

Over time, he became acquainted with Zhao Da, who guarded the Black Dragon Ghost Field, and they would occasionally have a few drinks together, acting like brothers on the surface.

This information was obtained from conversations between Zhao Da and market vendors.

Because it launched a surprise attack at the beginning, it severely injured "Sea Devourer".

"City of Covering the Moon" occupied the iceberg of "King Devouring the Sea" and used it as a base to launch attacks on the inner sea territory. The attacks were very successful, and a large number of strange materials, strange crystals and spiritual items were transported back to "City of Covering the Moon" every day.

Then it is transported inland.

It is said that the production of materials in "City of Shadows" caused the price of rare materials in the inland areas to plummet, which made "City of Shadows" amass unimaginable wealth.

And in the "Ghost Realm".

Wealth is, in a sense, equivalent to power.

With the accumulation of "blood money," the number of martial artists in "Covering Moon City" has exploded. From time to time, there are rumors of someone entering the inner sea to hunt monsters and breaking through to the "Ascension Realm."

There are even rumors that the ancestor of a certain family broke through to the "Radiant Sun Realm" by refining a precious spiritual object.

This news came out.

This completely ignited the spirits of the warriors in "Covering the Moon City," and countless warriors boarded ships and rushed to the inner sea to make "Covering the Moon City" shine brightly in the open-up of the inner sea.

Its value plummeted due to its bizarre nature.

Many phantom troupe owners chose to close their troupes and went to the inland sea to make their fortune.

Zhu Yu knew how dangerous the Inner Sea was at this time, so naturally he wouldn't go. Not only did he not go, he didn't even want to leave the Black Dragon Ghost Field.

Taking advantage of his superficial brotherhood with Zhao Da, and the insignificant face of "blood money".

He also contracted another 50,000 mu of "strange fields".

Its location is connected to his "Ghost Field" (甲一).

By this point, his "mystery field" covered an area of ​​100,000 mu.

This day.

"Um?--"

Zhu Yu and Bai Jingjing were strolling among the scattered stalls in the market when they suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly. They turned around and looked on in confusion.

It was visible outside the market.

Three exceptionally tall horses pulled a jet-black carriage that looked as if it were made of fine iron, and they sped towards us.

Bai Jingjing, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "Whose carriage is this? It's pulled by three 'White Scale Horses' that are comparable to Qi and Blood Realm martial artists."

""

She clicked her tongue twice, turned to look at Zhu Yu, and chuckled, "Master, why don't you buy one too? Wouldn't that make the whole family look so impressive?"

Zhu Yu glanced at her and said indifferently, "Since you have this intention, go and buy one. I will remember your kindness—"

""

"Should I buy it?"

Bai Jingjing paused for a moment, blinked, and forcibly changed the subject, saying, "Master, look, that stall owner is selling what seems to be 'Night Floating Life,' should we buy some? It's said that they grow faster when raised together with 'Firefly Floating Life'—"

Zhu Yu raised his hand and pointed at her; just as he was about to go and take a look, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures, one fat and one thin, getting out of the luxury car.

"Why are they here? Do they have some good stuff again—?"

His eyes brightened slightly, and he turned around to meet him.

Bai Jingjing was puzzled for a moment, then followed his gaze and was immediately stunned. She then pouted and said, "So it's the fat guy who sells counterfeit goods—"

"He can actually drive this kind of carriage; God is truly blind—"

He muttered a few words to himself and followed after them with small, quick steps.

The two men, Guailong and Fangcheng, who stepped down from the carriage, immediately saw Zhu Yu and his servant. Upon seeing each other, they both noticed the words "blood money" on each other's faces.

With a smile on his face, he stepped forward to greet her.

"Brother Gui."

"Brother Guai, Brother Fang."

"7

The three greeted each other with clasped hands.

After a few pleasantries, Zhu Yu got straight to the point, asking, "Did you two brothers bring any good seedlings?"

Guai Long and Fang Cheng nodded in unison.

The strange dragon's smile faded. He looked around and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to talk, Brother Gui. Please continue in the carriage."

Be cautious when you see two people.

Zhu Yu became even more interested in the strange seedlings they were selling, nodded slightly, and followed the two into the carriage.

The carriage looked small from the outside, but it was extremely spacious inside, about the size of a main room. It was fully furnished with tables and chairs, and in the center was a stone vat, which was sealed tightly with a piece of blue stone with gold patterns.

"It doesn't seem like an array; it looks more like something naturally formed. Is it made of a material similar to the 'Beast Bag,' possessing the ability to shrink objects?"

Zhu Yu looked around the carriage and was surprised.

"The jungle is so big!"

Bai Jingjing touched the doorpost and exclaimed in amazement.

Upon hearing this, the strange dragon immediately said smugly, "Never seen it before, have you? Cong Ke is a master craftsman from 'Moon-Covering City,' who crafted the Milky Way carriage using the strange materials from the 'Blood Realm' sea toad."

"It looks small from the outside, but it has a whole world inside."

"And then there's the milk-carrying ship, which has even more space and can carry goods in one trip, equivalent to more than a hundred trips before—"

Bai Jingjing blinked and said enviously, "It must be very expensive, right?"

The strange dragon glanced at her sideways and sneered, "Expensive? You can't buy it without connections. Even if you did, it would cost 100,000 'blood money' for just one carriage!"

Bai Jingjing calculated her belongings. Including the strange corpses she had caught a month ago, plus the rewards Zhu Yu gave her from time to time, she could afford to buy them, but after buying them, she would be penniless.

Cong quickly snapped her out of her daze and replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, it's fine—"

"Is it a trick involving a 'sea toad'?"

Zhu Yu nodded inwardly, and seeing the strange dragons about to boast to each other, he interrupted, saying, "Brother Strange, Brother Fang, you are from another world, what kind of strange creatures do you have? You can show them now—"

Then, his eyes turned to the stone vat.

Fang Cheng also found the strange dragon's ramblings strange. He nodded slightly to Zhu Yu and stepped forward to the stone vat.

He took out a talisman from his pocket and activated it. As soon as it landed on the stone lid of the water vat, countless golden lines surged out and then dissipated into specks of spiritual energy.

"rise!"

Fang Cheng placed his hands on the stone cover, his arm muscles bulging, and with a forceful lift, the stone cover was immediately blown off and landed on the ground.

"Aww—"

With a weak roar, a unique pressure emanated from it.
