Chapter 261 Starlight Canopy Pearl
Li Xiang’s interest was greatly increased as he said, “That’s good. Coincidentally, I’m also very interested in your manor. However, I’m curious what currency are we using for the transaction? Crystal coins?”
A hint of approval flashed in Hou Chun’s eyes as he said bluntly, “Crystal coins are a currency that circulates more widely. However, the Myriad World Continent’s real currency is the Demon Nucleus!”
“Demon Nucleus?”
Li Xiang’s heart throbbed as he asked, “I wonder what use this Demon Nucleus has for it to be more valuable than crystal coins?”
Hou Chun gestured and led Li Xiang along a flight of stairs formed by the Heavenly Wind Pterosaur’s tail. As they walked, he said, “The Demon Nucleus’ function is very simple. It can be directly absorbed and used to increase one’s strength. If there are talents who are proficient in Alchemy and Medicine, they can even develop related Evolution Potions.”
Hearing that, Li Xiang’s doubts did not dispel.
Because the crystal coin was also an energy body, the energy inside could also be absorbed. Perhaps it was not as convenient as the Demon Nucleus in absorption, but its value should not be lower than the Demon Nucleus.
Hou Chun saw Li Xiang’s doubts and said indifferently, “This is the rule set by the Alliance of Gods in the Myriad World Continent. Its purpose is first to promote the increase in the hunting of demons among various forces and open up more living spaces. Secondly, it is to unify the trading order to facilitate the flow of goods and transactions between the various forces.”
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes, and his tone became indifferent upon hearing that.
“I’m afraid they have other intentions? Perhaps their true purpose is to monopolize currency transactions and kidnap the forces’ economies, indirectly affecting and controlling the various forces. Looks like this so-called Alliance of Gods is very overbearing!”
Hou Chun looked at Li Xiang with slight astonishment and nodded. “Looks like the world Country Lord Li came from has extraordinary economic achievements. It must have been very prosperous in the past!”
Li Xiang did not want to talk about the matters of his previous life. He continued asking, “Are there no other factions resisting? I don’t believe the Alliance of Gods can say whatever it wants in a special place like the Myriad World Continent without being opposed.”
Hou Chun said, “What Country Lord Li said is true. However, the eight great transcendental races established the Alliance of Gods. Its influence is extremely strong. Even if many factions oppose it, it is useless. After all, many rare and precious resources are in the hands of the eight great transcendental races. Either they do business with them and use Demon Nucleus, or they don’t get to buy rare and precious resources and greatly impact their development and strength.”
Li Xiang took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand!”
Just then, the two of them arrived at the manor’s entrance.
At the entrance, there were two stone lions, which were shining with a strange luster. At a glance, it was obvious that they were not just for decoration. They should also have special functions such as guarding and scouting.
Under the lead of Hou Chun, the two of them came to an inconspicuous attic.
“This is where I store my goods.”
The two of them pushed the door open and entered. Li Xiang immediately discovered.
The attic that did not take up a lot of space on the outside was an incredibly massive space after entering. Evidently, it had undergone the expansion of spatial magic and was not as simple as it looked from the outside.
The hall on the first floor was divided into two parts.
On the left were massive, thirty-foot tall shelves, and on the right were goods stacked with huge wooden boxes. No one knew what was inside the wooden boxes.
Hou Chun led Li Xiang to the left shelf and walked more than a hundred feet. They came to a shelf and took out an exquisite wooden box that was one-foot square.
They opened it gently and saw a crystal ball shining with starlight inside.
“This is…”
“Country Lord Li, this is a treasure I have collected, the Starlight Canopy Pearl. As long as it is integrated into the country’s cornerstone, it will immediately form a starlight canopy covering the entire country. Although its defense is not very strong, it can effectively prevent the chaotic and evil energy from the outside world from entering your country.”
After listening to the introduction, Li Xiang indeed felt this equipment was excellent.
“Can I take a look at it in my hand?”
Hou Chun smiled and placed the treasure in Li Xiang’s hand.
[Starlight Canopy Pearl]
Quality: Legendary
Type: Rare treasure
Description: Like the core of a country, it draws on the power of the country to form a starlight canopy. It can isolate the aura inside and outside and has a certain degree of defensive ability.
Note: As the Lord of Starlight Shrine and the Lord of Dawn, you have one chance to level up. Invest enough resources, and you can level up one or two ranks depending on the quality of the resources.
Li Xiang’s heart moved when he saw the last slightly blinking note.
Could all equipment with “Starlight” have such an effect?
If that were the case, it would be too beneficial for him.
The Lord of Dawn was only something he displayed for others to see. His real goal was to become the King of Stars.
With Starlight Shrine’s talent, he believed that he had a chance.
But before that, he could not reveal his goal.
Li Xiang asked, “I want this rare treasure. How do I trade it?”
Hou Chun said with a smile, “That depends on what Country Lord Li wants to trade with. I’m interested in all valuable materials, especially spiritual rice, spiritual materials, all kinds of extraordinary materials, and finished equipment. They can be used for trade as long as their quality is B-Rank and above.”
Seeing that Li Xiang’s expression was calm and unmoved, he said, “Of course, in addition to bartering, you can also use crystal coins as currency to buy. However, the purchasing power of this crystal coin is somewhat uneconomic.”
Li Xiang knew very little about the Myriad World Continent, so he had no way of judging the authenticity of Hou Chun’s words.
However, he was determined to get that rare treasure, so he directly said, “Just name a price. I’ll consider it freely!”
“Okay!”
Hou Chun didn’t hesitate and reported a price.
“If you use crystal coins to trade, this rare treasure costs 3,000 crystal coins. This is the lowest price. If you use spiritual rice to trade, you only need 100,000 Jin of spirit rice!”
“100,000 Jin of spiritual rice? 3,000 crystal coins?”
Before Hou Chun made his bid, Li Xiang had never thought that this rare treasure would be so “cheap”!
Yes, in Li Xiang’s opinion, 3,000 crystal coins to buy that rare treasure was really too cheap.
Even if it were a common rare treasure, previously in the Trial Continent, the price would still be around 1,000 crystal coins according to the different functions of the rare treasure.
This rare treasure now only cost 3,000 crystal coins, which was the price after the crystal coins depreciated. That made Li Xiang somewhat puzzled.
However, he did not show it on his face, but there was some doubt in his words.
Fortunately, Hou Chun did not notice that and thought Li Xiang felt the price was too expensive. A wry smile appeared on his face at the right time. “This is definitely the lowest price. Although the value of crystal coins had decreased, if there is an opportunity, we could still exchange them with the people from the Alliance of Gods through the system. The ratio is not bad. It is usually 1:3. Three crystal coins for a Demon Nucleus. This is definitely the most reasonable price. After all, this is my first time doing business with Country Lord Li. I do not dare to destroy my reputation.”
