Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

Chapter 86 Shock, The Deal

King Golden Eyes spoke first, declaring magnanimously, "Alright. For Yunlan's sake, and for the sake of knowing a genius like His Highness Ye Feng, this batch of supplies—packaged as 28.5 billion Chaos Yuan—will be accepted by my Golden Eyes Clan."

This price is basically the highest it can go in the market.

After all, these are common supplies of the Marquis level and below. The advantage lies in the large quantity, the influence of Yunlan, and the fact that the price is more than 10% higher than the official price, which is very fair.

Ye Feng and Yun Lan exchanged a smile, both quite satisfied.

Ye Feng pressed his advantage, offering another spatial ring: "Gentlemen, could you please take a look at the resources here? If the price is right, we'll sell them all together."

With the initial investment of 28.5 billion, King Golden Eyes and King Cloud Demon completely abandoned their disdain for Ye Feng and solemnly accepted the ring.

Divine power probed in and swept—

"hiss""

The two people in charge of purchasing for their respective tribes gasped simultaneously, looking at Ye Feng in shock, then at the spatial ring. "This—this—this much Locke Divine Water, all of it was seized by Your Highness Ye Feng?"

Inside the ring was a small lake with an astonishing diameter—the Rock God Water, with a volume of 5000 cubic kilometers.

How could a realm lord amass so many resources?

"Is the battlefield outside the territory really that lucrative now?"

"I even want to go to the battlefields beyond the realm."

One cubic kilometer of Luoke Divine Water sold for 890 million Hunyuan units; 5000 cubic kilometers would be worth 445 billion Hunyuan.

This was practically their entire personal fortune. And a mere Realm Lord kid just casually took it out like that?

Yunlan looked at Ye Feng in shock, but refrained from asking questions immediately. He quickly got into character: "Rock Divine Water is a top-tier life-restoring resource, highly beneficial to both immortals and plant life. It's always been extremely rare and highly sought after. The auction's top price of 890 million is clearly inappropriate—" He paused for a moment, then continued, "How about 850 million per cubic kilometer of Hunyuan?"

"no problem."

"We, the Cloud Feather Clan, want them all."

The Golden-Eyed King and the Cloud Demon King snapped back to their senses, shouting out almost simultaneously as they glared at each other, their earlier camaraderie vanishing completely.

They can turn their backs faster than flipping through a book when it comes to these strategic resources.

Locke Divine Water is often in short supply, and given that the races behind the Golden-Eyed King and the Cloud Demon King are subordinate to human races, the channels for obtaining Locke Divine Water are even more limited.

For the sake of their respective ethnic groups' interests, they must set aside their pride and fight for it.

Yunlan secretly gave Ye Feng a thumbs up; this junior brother always managed to surprise him.

He remained calm and decisive, saying, "Alright, stop arguing. If you keep arguing, you'll only hurt our harmony."

I've made the decision for my junior apprentice: 2500 cubic kilometers per person. Raise the money quickly; it should be in the account within half a day.

With hundreds of billions of yuan in liquid funds, they must immediately consult their respective clan leaders for approval before they can use them.

The allure of Locke's Divine Water was indeed immense; in less than a quarter of an hour, both sides reached an agreement.

After that, the Golden-Eyed King and the Cloud Demon King became even more enthusiastic towards Ye Feng.

For a king of a vassal race of humanity, befriending a genius with such a promising future as Ye Feng is definitely a worthwhile investment.

The banquet continued, and at the enthusiastic invitation of the Golden-Eyed King and the Cloud Demon King, they moved to two different venues. During this time, in the Primal Universe, Ye Feng left the Dark Universe and arrived at a pre-arranged transit planet. He handed over the supplies to the teams of the two major races, and after confirming that everything was in order, the Golden-Eyed King and the Cloud Demon King readily paid.

425 billion Mixed Yuan (Rock Divine Water) + 28.5 billion Mixed Yuan (Loot) = 451.5 billion Mixed Yuan.

Ye Feng's account balance instantly surged to a number that would make even an Immortal King envious—close to the entire fortune of a High-Ranking King.

Ye Feng made no attempt to hide it and immediately transferred 400 billion Hunyuan to Yunlan.

"Senior Brother Yunlan, I'm transferring this 400 billion to you. Please do two things for me: First, get me a King-level Secret Pattern Longsword."

Second, the remaining money will all be used to purchase resources that will allow the Star-Burning Vine to advance to Immortality to its maximum potential. Do you think that's enough?

Yunlan is the most suitable person to handle this matter; he was the one who orchestrated the perfect evolution of the Burning Star Vine last time.

Yunlan didn't agree immediately. He lowered his head and calculated for a moment before looking up confidently and saying, "Junior Brother, 400 billion—a King-level longsword can only buy a very ordinary one, about 11 billion Chaos Yuan. The remaining 389 billion, plus the 1000 cubic kilometers of Locke Divine Water you provide, is just enough to arrange a top-tier immortal evolution program for the Burning Star Vine."

Ye Feng readily agreed and handed a spatial ring to Yun Lan, which contained 1000 cubic kilometers of Locke Divine Water.

Ye Feng entrusted nearly 500 billion Mixed Yuan Units to Yunlan, and Yunlan felt a surge of warmth in her heart at this trust.

The banquet was in full swing, and everyone was talking about their past adventures in secret cosmic realms.

Suddenly, "Huh?" The Cloud Demon King stood up abruptly, his expression changing drastically.

"What's wrong?" King Jin Tong, Yun Lan, and Ye Feng all looked at him in confusion.

"Hongmeng Auction House - Blood Crystal Special Auction - Starting Soon." The Cloud Demon King's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and his golden eyes burned with a desire.

"A Blood Crystal auction?" King Jin Tong and Yun Lan were also taken aback.

"I'm determined to snatch some this time!" The Cloud Demon King declared with high spirits, then looked at the Golden-Eyed King with a mix of joking and seriousness. "You're almost at the threshold of becoming a Venerable, so don't try to take anything from me this time, okay?"

"Blood Crystal? That's a treasure even effective against Universe Venerables. Why shouldn't we fight for it?" King Golden Eyes chuckled.

"Let them fight. There are plenty of other people vying for it anyway." The Cloud Demon King didn't care. "Let's go, let's hurry to the auction house."

"You go first, I'll follow later," Yunlan said.

"Your Highness Ye Feng, please excuse us." The Cloud Demon King and the Golden-Eyed King hurriedly apologized to Ye Feng and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Only Yunlan and Yefeng remained in the pavilion.

"Blood Crystals have a wide range of uses and are invaluable treasures even to Universe Venerables," Yunlan explained. "However, the human leadership maintains extremely strict control over such strategic resources, prioritizing their supply to top-tier experts, with only a small portion occasionally leaking out. It is priceless to any living being of flesh and blood."

"Auctions are usually held in units of 200, because 200 pieces are needed to extract a single drop of the precious Blood of the Beast God," Yunlan added. "My Blood Crystal Fusion has reached its limit now, so I won't compete for it this time. But when I become a Venerable, I might just fight tooth and nail for it."

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What about the other senior brothers, and Teacher Nine Swords? Do they need it?"

He still has more than 12 Blood Crystals.

As long as the virtual universe company allocates the points to its own staff and doesn't sell them publicly, it shouldn't interfere.

Yunlan's eyes lit up. "The teacher definitely doesn't need it. As for Lao Wu and Lao Liu—I'll ask them right away."

Ye Feng experienced the Blood Luo World and was then targeted by Tu Yu Wang, who stripped him of his qualification for the secret realm. Clearly, he caused quite a stir in the Blood Luo World and must have a lot of Blood Luo Crystals in his possession.
