The liver is a late bloomer!

"There is no other way but to do this."

"Saving 30% of the journey home is already quite good."

"Then we'll look for some areas of spatial turbulence and slowly find spatial passages closer to home using the same methods as before."

"Rest here for a while. It's a good opportunity to improve your acquired spiritual treasure factory."

"Keep 1000 million of the existing Dao Origin Immortal Crystals as reserves, and you can use the rest as you see fit," Xu Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"You mean you want our main bodies to come over too?" Da Xu asked.

"Of course, the area that such a powerful race can cover is unimaginable."

"The region of stars they occupy should be the most resource-rich. In the areas outside of them, there are more or less some small tribes that submit to the might of the God Clan."

"Wanting to cross the territories of these small tribes to return home would involve countless dangers. Rather than that, it would be better to stay here, complete the acquired spiritual treasure factory, and also see if you can finish your puppet reincarnation tower. That way, you'll have some protection on your journey."

Upon hearing Xu Chen mention the Puppet Reincarnation Tower, golden light immediately shone in Da Xu's eyes.

"You can buy any materials you want from the God Clan, so feel free to use them."

"I'll wander around the outer realms of the Divine Race to see what the human race can learn from, record it, and bring it back to the human race."

As Xu Chen spoke, his gaze passed through the external projection in the temporary cave dwelling, looking at the Imperial God Clan's innate spiritual treasure-level warship patrolling in the sky.

"Alright, give me 20,000 years. 8000 years to build the Spirit Treasure Factory, and the rest of the time to build the Puppet Reincarnation Tower."

"That `s a deal."

After finalizing the plans with Da Xu, Xu Chen left his temporary cave dwelling and began to wander around the outer capital of the Divine Race.

In a renowned restaurant in the capital city, Xu Chen savored the specialties of the Divine Clan in a secluded private room.

"This meal cost me 320 catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals, so expensive."

"But it's really worth it." Xu Chen picked up a piece of stir-fried dish made with Great Luo Realm Azure Immortal Fish Floss and put it in his mouth.

An extremely delicious flavor burst in Xu Chen's mouth, soft, tender, fresh, and smooth, accompanied by a unique nourishing power that slowly replenished Xu Chen's essence.

He picked up another piece of the dragon tendon from the Golden Immortal Realm, put it in his mouth to savor it, and his soul was once again elevated.

"Delicious, truly delicious!"

After the banquet, Xu Chen felt that his cultivation had improved slightly, saving him at least a thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Xu Chen walked contentedly down the bustling street.

Although it is the outer capital of the God Clan, half of the creatures walking on the streets are of other races.

Xu Chen arrived at a magnificent pavilion and saw various kinds of precious light emanating from it. Curious, he went inside to find out about the prices of goods in the Divine Race.

The main hall on the first floor was filled with all sorts of Dao artifacts, each one a masterpiece in Xu Chen's eyes.

“Esteemed guest, a senior like you should go to the third-floor main hall. Please follow me.” A young woman in a yellow robe with a purple gemstone between her eyebrows approached Xu Chen and said respectfully.

"Then let's go to the third floor." Xu Chen nodded slightly.

"But before that, I'd like to know what the unit is for the number three hundred marked on this artifact?"

"What is the exchange rate between it and the Dao Origin Immortal Crystal?" Xu Chen pointed to the Dao artifact he had just looked at.

"What is marked is Immortal Crystal Coins. One jin of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals can be exchanged for 10,000 Immortal Crystal Coins."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen did a quick calculation and found that one immortal crystal coin was roughly equivalent to ten human contribution points. The exquisite Dao artifact he had just mentioned would be worth 3000 human contribution points after conversion.

This amount is enough to buy a celestial artifact among humans.

"Prices are indeed high," Xu Chen thought to himself.

After the alien girl went up to the third floor, Xu Chen saw the acquired spiritual treasure displayed in the main hall.

"Honored guest, this is the third-floor hall. I'll go down now." The alien girl bowed respectfully to Xu Chen and then quickly left the third-floor hall.

Not far away, a woman from another ethnic group, dressed in a purple robe, gracefully walked towards Xu Chen.

"Your Excellency's gaze upon these acquired spiritual treasures seems rather indifferent. Are these acquired spiritual treasures beneath your notice?" The alien girl approached Xu Chen and spoke softly.

"Most of the acquired spiritual treasures displayed in this hall are ordinary; there are very few that catch my eye."

Xu Chen looked around and saw that all the thousands of acquired spiritual treasures in the hall were just ordinary items in his eyes.

"Would the distinguished guest be willing to come with me to see some exquisite acquired spiritual treasures?" the alien girl in the purple robe invited.

"Sure, but I have a question before I go: why aren't these acquired spiritual treasures priced?"

"The prices of embryos and spirit ores used to refine acquired spiritual treasures fluctuate constantly, so there are no fixed prices. The price will be determined based on the market price of the day if a customer wants to buy one."

Upon hearing this explanation, Xu Chen's expression turned somewhat strange.

"In the outer realms of the Divine Race, there is a department called the Department of All Things, which collects spiritual minerals and materials from the Divine Race and all surrounding areas. The price of each material there changes constantly. If you are interested, you can contact the merchant guilds in the Department of All Things to purchase them."

"Isn't this just the futures market?" Xu Chen thought to himself.

In a secluded paradise filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, tens of thousands of acquired spiritual treasures have transformed into various mythical beasts, frolicking here.

As soon as Xu Chen entered, he saw a magical sword transformed into a crane flying towards him.

"Honorable guest, buy me! Your swordsmanship aura is the perfect match for mine!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a giant eagle flew in like lightning and swatted the crane away with one wing.

"Use me, sword." The giant eagle's tone was cold, but its gaze toward Xu Chen was extremely fervent.

"How much is this acquired spiritual treasure?" Xu Chen became interested. Although he had more than a dozen acquired spiritual treasure battle swords, most of them were second-hand goods that had been used by other powerful people.

Xu Chen could tell that the weapon in front of him had been forged not long ago and was a brand new acquired spiritual treasure.

"Honored guest, this acquired spiritual treasure was born from the fusion of sword intent and a piece of Purple Star Immortal Stone in the cave of a Sword Dao Saint Venerable. It contains a trace of the Heavenly Sword aura comprehended by that Sword Dao Saint Venerable."

"When you break through to the Great Luo or even the Great Venerable realm in the future, this trace of aura will be of great help to you."

"So the price is a bit high."

The girl from another race first laid the groundwork, preparing Xu Chen mentally.

"Twenty-three thousand catties."

Upon hearing this number, Xu Chen couldn't help but think of the cargo he had brought with him.

The ten acquired spiritual treasures he brought were each priced at less than five hundred catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

"This one acquired spiritual treasure is almost as good as thirty of his acquired spiritual treasures."

Can I try it?

As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, the giant eagle transformed into a black battle blade, unleashing a terrifying blade intent.

"Honorable guest, you may try it out. This acquired spiritual treasure is one of the finest pieces in our shop. Its unique characteristics cannot be replaced by ordinary acquired spiritual treasure battle swords, so the price is a bit higher."

"I'll know if it's worth it once I try it out." Xu Chen gripped the battle sword, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted and soared into the sky.

All the spirit beasts transformed from acquired spiritual treasures in this secret realm prostrated themselves on the ground in terror.

Carefully sensing this acquired spiritual treasure battle blade, one can feel the trace of the aura left behind by the Sword Dao Saint Venerable deep within the blade.

In an instant, the figure of a powerful member of the Divine Race appeared in Xu Chen's consciousness space.

The figure stood with a knife in hand, as sturdy as a pine tree, forcefully pulling Xu Chen's consciousness in as well.

The two sides met and, without exchanging a single word, immediately launched into a fierce battle.
The powerful warrior of the Divine Clan suppressed his own cultivation level to the Golden Immortal realm. Using only his battle blade and without any supernatural abilities, he still managed to overpower Xu Chen.

"Senior, is there a reward for winning?"

Xu Chen responded with his own sword technique. The alien girl had mentioned that the sword contained a trace of the aura of a Sword Saint, which must be the one before him.

"Win, you're overthinking things, you little alien."

A domineering and ancient voice rang out, and just from the voice alone, Xu Chen felt as if the will of heaven had transformed into a blade and was slashing at him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen immediately lost interest. He glanced at the surrounding barriers of will, broke through them, returned to his original body, and then sealed the acquired spiritual treasure battle blade in his hand.

"Make it cheaper, I'll buy it."

Looking at the battle sword, Xu Chen felt it was necessary to buy it back. He planned to have a proper conversation with the will attached to that aura after he was far away from the secret realm of the Divine Race.

"Honored guest, no bargaining." The foreign girl looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll buy it~"

Xu Chen nodded and took out the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal he carried.

"Pack it up for our esteemed guest immediately."

With a wave of her hand, the alien girl opened a spatial passage and sent the acquired spiritual treasure sword over.

At this moment, Xu Chen was surrounded by hundreds of spirit beasts transformed from acquired spiritual treasures, all exuding sword intent, and they all looked at Xu Chen with expectant eyes.

“Your Excellency has already purchased the best acquired spiritual treasure sword. If you are still interested, I can introduce these acquired spiritual treasures to you in more detail,” the alien girl asked tentatively.

"No need," Xu Chen waved his hand.

Xu Chen then inquired about the prices of other acquired spiritual treasures in the main hall. Most acquired spiritual treasures were priced between 1500 and 2000 jin of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals.

Xu Chen could barely accept this price.

Before long, the alien girl brought Xu Chen a wooden box containing the acquired spiritual treasure sword.

"This acquired spiritual treasure is already linked to your identity jade card. If it is lost and found, you can use the identity jade card to prove your relationship with this acquired spiritual treasure. Please make sure to keep it safe," the alien girl instructed.

"Understood." Xu Chen nodded, accepted the box, and left.

Inside the temporary cave dwelling, Xu Chen savored dishes delivered by another restaurant.

"The nourishing power of this top-quality dish is also extraordinary, but it's a pity that it's a waste to consume too much of it, unlike the kind of food we used to eat every day."

Xu Chen savored the delicious food, his tone tinged with regret.

Reflecting on my experiences in the capital during this period, I have gained a deeper understanding of the God Clan.

"The Divine Race is relatively law-abiding. At least we don't have to worry about safety when their true forms come over, and they can buy any resources they need."

"We'll make all the necessary preparations within the Divine Clan, increase our strength, and then leave directly. This will reduce the risks on the road."

A huge three-dimensional light and shadow appeared in front of Xu Chen, displaying a rough map of the territory and surrounding areas of the Divine Race.

Xu Chen observed that if he left the Divine Race directly and headed home, he would have to pass through dozens of large and small alien territories along the way.

With Xu Chen's current strength, he can survive under the attack of a Grand Luo expert, but if he is discovered by a Great Venerable expert, he will not be able to escape no matter how many methods he uses.

"Let's just lay low for a while."

After making plans for what would happen next, Xu Chen went to a small shop called "Alien Know-It-All".

Xu Chen was told about this small shop by the waiter who served him food at the hotel. He learned that for a small fee, he could learn some long-standing information about the Yushen Clan.

On a quiet street away from the bustling main street, Xu Chen arrived at a small shop that resembled a teahouse.

"Welcome, senior!" The shopkeeper and the shop assistant were both at the Spirit Immortal Realm, and they quickly bowed when they saw Xu Chen enter.

The shop is tiny; there are only five tables in the main hall, and if you include him, there's only one customer.

"No need to be so polite. You are all from the Divine Race, how could I allow you to bow to me?" Xu Chen said with a smile.

"You flatter me, senior. You're a guest as soon as you come in." The waiter quickly poured Xu Chen a cup of tea and then sat down across the table.

"How much does it cost?" Xu Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then silently put it down.

"100 Immortal Crystals a month, 1000 Immortal Crystals a year. Senior, we can answer any questions you may have about the Divine Race." The shopkeeper took out his identity crystal card to add Xu Chen as a friend.

Both the Jade Card and the Gold Card have the function of sending messages and making calls.

"It's not expensive, just give me another ten years." Xu Chen casually tossed out a Dao Origin Immortal Crystal the size of a ping-pong ball.

Upon seeing that a wealthy customer had arrived, the shopkeeper and his staff immediately surrounded him.

"Bring me the finest tea, the celestial tea I obtained from the Mystic Spirit Ancient Tree!"

The shopkeeper pushed the waiter away with his buttocks.

"Senior, please tell me what the problem is. I will answer it to the best of my ability!"

"Then I have a lot of questions." Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Please ask, senior."

"How can I settle down in the capital world?" This was Xu Chen's first question.

"The first type is that foreign tribes must own property in the capital city if they want to settle down."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he waved his hand and released a map of the entire capital city.

“In the most prosperous areas, 50,000 catties of Dao Yuan Immortal Crystals are needed per mu. Even in the most remote areas, 30,000 catties of Dao Yuan Immortal Crystals are required. The minimum property size is 10 mu.”

Upon hearing the price, Xu Chen was shocked; the real estate industry was indeed extremely profitable.

"The second method is for Saint-grade weapon refiners, spellcasters, array masters, and alchemists to join the Divine Race. This allows them to rent houses in the capital world and not be restricted from entering or leaving the world."

Hearing the second explanation piqued Xu Chen's interest.

"What restrictions are there after joining the Divine Clan, or is it possible to leave whenever you want?" Xu Chen asked.

"Once you join, you cannot leave; otherwise, you will be considered a traitor. As for the rest, it involves completing the tasks assigned by the clan on a daily basis, and of course, the rewards are commensurate."

"Most importantly, if one wishes to reincarnate and begin cultivation again, the clan will provide a large sum of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals. Regardless of the level of the Saint-grade cultivation, the starting price will be at least 500 million catties of Dao Origin Immortal Crystals." (End of Chapter)
