Chapter 2717: Chapter 1251: Kunpeng True Spirit

Although Chen Mobai currently doesn’t have any new demon-contaminated planets in hand, he often visits the Demon Market Platform for no particular reason.

After all, since leaving Earth Element Star, he found this industry is the easiest way to earn Dao Merits.

Once online, Chen Mobai multitasked, browsing recent posts while checking his private messages.

Most were hunters wanting free access to demon-contaminated planets, and some were intelligence merchants. Although Chen Mobai was publicly banned by major intelligence merchants for disrupting the rules by offering free services, there were still some enterprising individuals wanting to collaborate with him.

Since Chen Mobai was offering things for free anyway, he might as well give them directly to these folks; as long as they could verify the information, they were even willing to share their earned Dao Merits.

This willingness came not only from intelligence merchants but also from the hunters.

To them, it was free intelligence, and the promise of sharing profits was contingent upon earning Dao Merits. As long as Chen Mobai provided them the coordinates of demon-contaminated planets, it was a guaranteed profitable deal.

Having taken business-related courses at Repairing Heaven Institute, Chen Mobai understood this very well.

Sometimes, free offerings, if managed well, could also generate substantial income.

As he finished going through his private messages, Chen Mobai suddenly came across a message from "Golden Needle Master," the hunter who had uploaded the video of the siege of the Three-eyed King.

She expressed gratitude to Chen Mobai and wanted to pay some Purple Cloud Coins as a fee for the intelligence.

Though the biggest benefit of capturing the Three-eyed King was taken away by two other hunters, she managed to sell off half of the remaining Three Eyed Tribe and refined lots of valuable Sixth Rank essence from the fragmented planet, which earned her a Dao Merit.

Even though Chen Mobai had stated it was for free, she felt a bit guilty.

However, the minimum units for account transfers on the Portal side are Dao Merits, so she asked for Chen Mobai’s Cosmic Bank account to transfer a hundred thousand Purple Cloud Coins.

Chen Mobai naturally couldn’t expose his real information for a mere hundred thousand Purple Cloud Coins, so he directly declined in the private message.

Unexpectedly, Golden Needle Master was online, and she admired Chen Mobai’s honesty and character for sticking to his word about offering free services.

As they continued chatting, Chen Mobai clicked on her avatar and discovered that apart from her name and gender, other information was hidden.

This is overly cautious, isn’t it?

Chen Mobai mused as he suddenly noticed a label resembling a storefront next to her avatar. Clicking on it revealed a store on other platforms linked to the Portal.

A seller?

Surprised, Chen Mobai checked out the store’s products, many of which were elixirs and Rank-5 and Rank-6 raw materials. Although it was a small shop, the sales volume was considerable, evidently a reputable shop.

Due to the vast range of products, Chen Mobai filtered by price from high to low.

Then the most expensive elixir popped up, causing him to widen his eyes in astonishment.

[Xuanxu Pill, Sixth Rank elixir, available for reservation, deposit one Dao Merit, consult customer service for details.] 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

If Chen Mobai remembered correctly, this Xuanxu Pill is exclusively produced by Xuanhu Dojo. Its high demand means it isn’t available at the Xuanhu Flagship Store on the Portal side; only during the centennial store celebrations are a few released for the top ten loyal customers.

But now this shop called Golden Needle Pavilion claims it can reserve Xuanxu Pills!

Is it true?

Doubtful, Chen Mobai decided to ask the person involved directly.

[To be frank, I’m Song Qingyi from Xuanyang Star System, an unregistered disciple of Xuanhu Daojun, known in Xuanhu Four Stars. If the Xuanxu Pills end up being over-produced, getting a few extra won’t be an issue...]

Golden Needle Master revealed her identity, noting she had taken on the Three Eyed Tribe task because it was her turf.

Having benefited and earned a Dao Merit, she was also willing to address Chen Mobai’s questions seriously.

Whenever Xuanxu Pills are refined, aside from being exported to other dojo arenas, the rest are distributed among Nascent Soul Cultivators at Xuanhu Dojo.

Each star system gets some based on relationships and strength.

Song Qingyi also has several Divinity Transformation disciples, but only one requires the Xuanxu Pill for achieving Perfection. Keeping the extras was useless to her, so she listed them in her shop.

Profits from Dao Merits are ideal; if they don’t sell, she could exchange the resources with other Divinity Transformation factions under her command.

[They might not sell?] Chen Mobai expressed confusion.

[Most owners of Gate of Taixu branches are Nascent Soul Cultivators, who do not need Xuanxu Pills. The few Divinity Transformation cultivators have tremendous backgrounds, likely being direct disciples or descendants of Daoist Monarchs who could buy Xuanxu Pills directly from Xuanhu Dojo at the original price.] Song Qingyi, though puzzled by Chen Mobai’s question, attentively explained.

Understanding dawned upon Chen Mobai.

Theoretically, this is indeed the case.

Although, exceptions like him exist.

Chen Mobai: [So how much are your Xuanxu Pills?]

Song Qingyi: [The original price is 8 Dao Merits, but it has inflated to 10 Dao Merits in the market. If you need one, I can offer it at a slight loss, just 9 Dao Merits.]

After hearing, Chen Mobai checked his account balance and uncertainly replied: [I’ll consider it.]

Song Qingyi: [Sure, I’ll note it down, and when the Xuanxu Pills arrive in my hands, I’ll ask if you still want them.]

Because she had gained the upper hand with the Three Eyed Tribe, Song Qingyi didn’t require Chen Mobai to pay a deposit of one Dao Merit.

After the conversation, Chen Mobai had only one thought: to earn Dao Merits.

He also asked Song Qingyi about when the Xuanxu Pills would arrive at Xuanyang Star System, and she estimated forty to fifty years, during which she’ll personally collect them from the Xuanhu Four Stars side.

Moreover, many God-Transcending cultivators who purchase Xuanxu Pills choose to follow her to Xuanhu Four Stars, to prevent such precious elixirs from being hijacked on the way.

After all, Xuanhu Dojo is close to the Mystic Palace, and since its destruction, numerous Devil Cultivators have been hidden there.

Elixirs like the Sixth Rank Xuanxu Pill, if the news spreads, will surely attract greedy individuals.

Once they have the elixirs, renting a Cave Dwelling on Xuanhu Four Stars to directly refine and impact Cultivating Void is the approach most cultivators take.

Chen Mobai, after hearing this, felt a deep sense of familiarity.

Isn’t this just like the Tianhe Realm!

Unexpectedly, after leaving Earth Element Star, he reached a larger Tianhe Realm.

The ethos of the Purple Cloud Universe is somewhat inferior.

After voicing some complaints inwardly, Chen Mobai also finished browsing the information on the Demon Market Platform, with nothing worth noting.

Just as he was about to leave the Portal, a new post suddenly refreshed.

[A planet suspected to be demon-contaminated has been found in the Xuanyang Star System, guarded by the Kunpeng True Spirit. If interested, please private message with a price.]

Chen Mobai was immediately drawn by the word "Kunpeng."

Such a True Spirit can advance to the Seventh Rank, and in the Purple Cloud Universe, it is considered rare.

It is as valuable as the Hundred-Armed Giant.

However, since the opening of Xuanhu Dojo, the appearances of Kunpeng True Spirit can be counted on one hand.

And coincidentally, it is in the Xuanyang Star System guarded by Song Qingyi.

Could it be the Spiritual Venerable?

The more Chen Mobai thought, the more possible it seemed. After all, when the Spiritual Venerable left with Bai Guang, they were only at God-Transcending, at most wandering within the Xuanyang Star System. Later, Bai Guang cultivated Emptiness but encountered Death God’s Tribulation, directly contending with the True Body of Death God.

Before Bai Guang went to chop down the Death God, they should have settled the Spiritual Venerable first.

Estimated to be finding a planet rich in Spiritual Energy within the Xuanyang Star System.

Perhaps Death God’s strength was beyond expectations, so there’s still no news from Bai Guang. Thus, the Spiritual Venerable is confined once more.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai immediately privately messaged the post’s author.

Only after sending it did he realize his message was marked with an exclamation point.

This means he was blacklisted by the author.

Upon closer inspection, he recalled it was one of those intelligence merchants who accused him of ruining the market.

Damn, this person is so petty.

Chen Mobai cursed inwardly, and could only first click into the post to have a look, though specifics needed a private chat, the basic situation of the planet was still introduced.

Chen Mobai found that the author used the term "suspected Sixth Rank" when introducing the planet-guarding Kunpeng True Spirit.

Has the Spiritual Venerable also cultivated Emptiness?

Chen Mobai was somewhat puzzled, but thinking about the deep accumulation over thousands of years by the Spiritual Venerable, after breaking free from Earth Element Star’s shackles, cultivating Emptiness with sufficient Spiritual Energy would be normal.

But if so, surely the Spiritual Venerable would assist Bai Guang, there’s no reason to stay within Xuanyang Star System alone.

Might it not be the Spiritual Venerable?

With thoughts racing, Chen Mobai’s desire to privately chat with the author to understand the details grew stronger, yet after being blacklisted, even changing his account name was to no avail.

Helpless, he could only ask Song Qingyi, whom he just talked to, for help.

Stating his great interest in the Kunpeng True Spirit, but being blacklisted, requesting her aid in chatting on his behalf.

Song Qingyi was quite forthright, quickly bringing the detailed information over.

[It is certain that the Kunpeng has the essence of Sixth Rank. Initially, when the author discovered that planet, they entered but found the place already enveloped by Law Domain. The author thought they were doomed, unexpectedly the Kunpeng was seriously injured. With a desperate struggle, the author managed to escape the Law Domain’s binding and get out.]

Law Domain!

Then it must be the Spiritual Venerable!

But why was it injured, could it be the work of the Death God?

After this revelation, Chen Mobai was increasingly shocked and eager. A True Spirit who mastered Law Domain is invaluable, no less than the Three-eyed King with the Destruction Magic Eye.

[How much did the intelligence merchant bid?]

[1 Dao Merit. If it turns out not to be a demon-contaminated planet, half will be refunded.]

This is the standard market price on the Demon Market Platform.

Looking at his account’s balance of 1 Dao Merit, Chen Mobai bit his lip, about to ask Song Qingyi for help.

Just then, his phone began to pop up windows.

It was from the Purple Cloud Palace.
