Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

"Tsk tsk tsk, Gao Sheng, you're doing business too shady. Be careful you don't give birth to a son without an anus!" Lao Tie laughed loudly in Gao Sheng's mind, and it seemed like Xiao Ai was also giggling.

"Bullshit! I gave him a way out, but he didn't choose it. He wanted fifty million instead of over fifty billion. Is that my fault? In the end, it's because he doesn't trust me. Let's go to the slave market." The last sentence was said to Meng A.

"If he chooses the first option, I don't believe you'd give him five billion. How much you sell it for is up to you, haha. What, you want to buy cosmic-level slaves? I remember your family wanted to send cosmic-level guards to your castle, but you refused."

"My friend! You may not believe in my character, but don't doubt the reputation of the Wei Di family! If he really chooses the first option, what's wrong with me giving him half? Is my family's reputation only worth that much money? As for cosmic-level slaves, it wasn't necessary before, but now that Wei Lin has received fifty million cosmic coins, although he's unlikely to know the actual value of this sword, what if? What if he's resentful and does something irrational? He can afford low-level cosmic-level slaves, so I have to be careful." Gao Sheng smiled.

They knew the way well and headed straight for the largest slave market.

Upon receiving the message from his subordinate, the green-haired supervisor hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Mr. Gao Sheng, it's nice to see you again. Are you buying more goods this time?"

"Mr. Wula, you said last time that you had connections to cosmic-level slaves?"

The green-haired man was overjoyed: "We have the goods! Please come in."

In the reception room, Gao Sheng carefully observed the virtual projection in front of him, showing the appearance, strength, race, and other characteristics of a large number of slaves.

A first-tier slave at the cosmic level typically costs between ten million and tens of millions of cosmic coins.

A fourth-order cosmic-level object would cost hundreds of millions.

Universe-level seventh order, starting at 10 billion.

Both eighth- and ninth-order slaves at the cosmic level cost 30 billion or more.

Note the word "starting price". This kind of price is usually for older people. If it were younger, the price would rise sharply!

Of course, a 90,000-year-old and a 70,000-year-old of the same age are different; the younger one will be much more expensive and may even appreciate in value.

Planetary-level slaves are extremely cheap, even cheaper than Force weapons. Constant-level slaves are also not expensive, with high-level ones being about the same price as psychic weapons of the same level. However, cosmic-level slaves are almost as expensive as laser guns of the same level!

Why?

Because cosmic-level items are extremely rare.

Among the various major hurdles for human cultivators to overcome, the transition from the Eternal Star level to the Cosmic level ranks second in difficulty! While it's possible to overcome one of the other hurdles with only a few hundred or even a few dozen attempts, it's extremely rare for even one in a hundred thousand Eternal Star level cultivators to break through to the Cosmic level!

The most difficult thing is, of course, breaking through from a realm lord to an immortal god.

After looking at it from all angles, Gao Sheng was not entirely satisfied.

He wanted to buy a mentalist, one who had to have a domain and be at a higher level. The level of the universe-level wasn't that important, since most of them didn't have a domain. Only high-level mentalists occasionally had domains, and even then, they weren't very high, maybe one or two levels.

"It's difficult to find talent among slaves. Those who are truly talented and strong in combat are either bought by powerful forces or sent to the Giant Axe Arena to make money for slave traders." Gao Sheng shook his head.

After browsing for a while, Gao Sheng's eyes lit up. A third-tier cosmic-level mentalist, fourth level of the domain? Hmm, normal human appearance, age: over 2,700 years old, priced at 16 billion cosmic coins, more expensive than many seventh-tier ones!

"How much discount can you offer?"

Wu La was shocked: "What? Mr. Gao Sheng, you want to buy this? This price could buy a seventh-tier item."

Give me a real price.

Gao Sheng doesn't have any cosmic-level enemies to deal with like Luo Feng, so of course he wouldn't buy any cosmic-level ninth-tier slaves. Cosmic-level ninth-tier slaves aren't safe. Although the chance of a cosmic-level ninth-tier slave who is about to die of old age breaking through is about zero, it's not zero after all.

Gao Sheng took a liking to this slave and was very satisfied. Not only did he have territory, but he was also young. There was a reason why he was so expensive.

Finally, the contract stipulated 15.2 billion cosmic coins. Gao Sheng paid a 10% deposit and left. It was impossible to take them away immediately, as there were no cosmic-level slaves in Qiulong City; they were all shipped from the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom.

Back at the castle, Luo Feng and his two companions were still immersed in the virtual universe battle space.

Gao Sheng also entered the virtual universe and summoned Yasuo, who lived alone in the Dragon City.

This time, Gao Sheng is going to give his father a really big business deal!

3.5 billion Cosmic Coins!

Gao Sheng reappeared in the killing arena hall.

Luo Feng and Lei Shen were absent, but Hong was leisurely twirling his wine glass; "Brother Gao Sheng, what's up? Where did you go just now?"

"I had to go out for a bit, and it's been half a day now. Have the three of you been in the Killing Space the whole time?" Gao Sheng said with a smile as he sat down.

Hong laughed and said, "It's so expensive here, wouldn't it be a waste not to make the most of our time?"

The three Luo brothers were extremely excited and went crazy when they came to the Killing Space for the first time and were able to fight against so many virtual opponents with different styles. They fought for a whole day!

Gao Sheng originally wanted to remind them that they couldn't cultivate their bodies through virtual space combat, but then he thought better of it. Hong and Lei Shen were probably already on the verge of breaking through, so whether they cultivated their genetic energy or not wouldn't make much difference. As for Luo Feng, he was a Golden Horned Beast.

Dream Castle.

Luo Feng and the other two finally opened their eyes.

The servants of the Mengbei tribe in the castle immediately sprang into action.

Gao Sheng sighed deeply, "You guys finally came out! I'm exhausted!"

"That was awesome, so awesome!" Thor exclaimed, still wanting more.

"I've never fought against so many opponents before. Their styles and methods are truly eye-opening," Hong exclaimed.

After the banquet, Luo Feng and his two companions were heading to the killing field again.

"Damn it, you three are crazy! I'm not playing along!" Gao Sheng shouted.

You may not be cultivating, but I still need to.

Of course, for Luo Feng and the other two, this killing space can definitely help them improve their strength to another level in a short period of time.

Gao Sheng never expected that this time, the three brothers would stay immersed in the virtual universe and not come out at all.

Nine days later, at dusk, in the castle's banquet hall, maids moved about, and rare and delicious dishes were served to and from the tables like a flowing stream.

"Nine days! You've finally come out, my God!" Gao Sheng sighed.

"Awesome! So awesome, I really don't want to leave!" Thor ate heartily at the table.

"Brother Gao Sheng, we've really troubled you this time. We brothers are preparing to leave tomorrow," Luo Feng said.

Gao Sheng didn't try to stop him. "Oh, okay, anyway, meeting in the virtual universe is the same."

Luo Feng said he would go back in a few days, but he has stayed for more than ten days.

No matter how good Qiulong Star is, it's not home. Without a peaceful home, Luo Feng and his companions can't be true space adventurers.

The next morning, Luo Feng and his two companions left with the slave caravan, flying directly to the planetary port where he had just bought his new C9-class spaceship. As for the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship, he insisted on giving it to Gao Sheng, and his refusal was futile, because Gao Sheng had simply left it in the castle after the spaceship's access was revoked and didn't take it with him!

Gao Sheng was speechless... Well, Corey loves collecting antiques, so we might as well sell this spaceship to him.

Although Luo Feng and his two companions left, it did not prevent them from meeting in the virtual universe, and they still spent every day in the killing field.

In the dark universe, Thor broke through to the star level.
