Age of Evolution#-Chapter 549 - 550: Merging with the Star Illusion Stone

Chapter 549: Chapter 550: Merging with the Star Illusion Stone

Lin Zhen picked up the Star Illusion Stone and examined it. The Star Illusion Stone was a beautiful little stone with two sides, one real and one illusory.

The real side represented the main body, and the illusory side represented the avatar.

Only such a stone could merge the Star Power of the main body and the avatar into one.

However, absorbing the Star Illusion Stone might take some time, and there was not enough time now, as the number of people pouring in and the amount of treasures here were dwindling, especially since Mount Sumeru had been open for nearly a month.

When Lin Zhen first came here, he was not among the first batch, because although he knew about this event, he forgot the specific year it took place, after all, it’s impossible to remember the exact date of events that happened a thousand years ago.

Lin Zhen looked around and found that Ye Hua had left at some point.

Just as he was about to leave, Chris suddenly spoke.

“Master, are you just leaving like this?”

“What else am I supposed to do?”

“Of course, it’s to exchange for treasures. Look, Master, the treasures here are getting less and less, but there are still a few valuable ones. People from the foot of the mountain are coming, I guarantee there won’t be any treasures left here in a while, they will all be exchanged by others.”

“But I don’t have any Luminous Stones.”

“You can buy them, buy them on the spot, many people here don’t have enough Luminous Stones to exchange for treasures and are looking for buyers. If you buy now, you’ll definitely make a fortune.”

Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up, that’s right, Martial Artists generally don’t trade with each other due to competition, but isn’t this a great opportunity?

Lin Zhen immediately posted in the regional Dimensional Universe that he would buy Luminous Stones for ten Cosmic Crystals each!

Ten Cosmic Crystals might not sound like a lot, but when exchanged, that’s a million Kirin Coins!

A million Kirin Coins can be exchanged for a billion Sanjiang Coins!

With a billion Sanjiang Coins, going to a lower-level Universe Country, it might not make you the richest person in the country, but on a regular Life Star or even within some Small Asteroid Systems, you would definitely be the wealthiest individual!

Many Martial Artists with a billion Sanjiang Coins would choose to retire and become a local emperor on a Life Star, living a carefree life for thousands or tens of thousands of years, which is not a bad choice at all.

So, the price offered by Lin Zhen was definitely not low, considering that the Martial Artists here were not all from high-level civilizations, most came from average or even lower ones!

Ten Cosmic Crystals for a Luminous Stone made many people go crazy.

Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe system immediately received countless trade requests.

Lin Zhen had instructed Chris to accept all normal trades in advance, and he didn’t care about spending this small amount of money as he was already worth hundreds of billions.

Chris was quick and accepted all trades in record time. Lin Zhen couldn’t initiate more trades unless he actively canceled the current ones, which was a constraint of the Dimensional Universe trading system.

When Lin Zhen set his price, many people reacted and tried to buy in the second wave, but the vast majority of Luminous Stones had already been taken away by Lin Zhen.

Ye Hua, who had made a fortune, was nowhere to be found, offering a hundred Cosmic Crystals per Luminous Stone and attracted quite a few people, but still couldn’t compare to Lin Zhen.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Zhen obtained hundreds of thousands of Luminous Stones, and those who had completed the trade had to come to the Temple to finalize their transactions with Lin Zhen, while regretting their decisions.

“Chris, what should I exchange for?”

“Master, I’ve already picked out a few things for you. You should exchange for the Ambidexterity Mastery Secret first. If you learn it, you can use two spears with both hands in battle, greatly increasing your damage in group battles.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Lin Zhen immediately exchanged, using ten thousand Luminous Stones.

“Also, the most expensive one, Star Gold, is an essential material for forging Heavenly Tools. This large chunk for seventy thousand Luminous Stones is perfect for you to forge Heavenly Tools.”

Lin Zhen immediately exchanged, and then spent the remaining tens of thousands of Luminous Stones on whatever treasures were available, using them all up.

By the time Lin Zhen finished plundering, only a few items remained.

Soon, the last few items were also exchanged and taken away.

When all the treasures were gone, the intelligent life in the Temple said, “All the treasures here have been exchanged, and the temple will close. Everyone can leave now.”

“Lin Zhen, let’s go.” Ni Ke, the dwarf, had obtained several desired items and was very happy.

Lin Zhen followed Ni Ke out of the temple and down the mountain.

********

Inside the Dimensional Universe, Ye Hua had just finished buying Luminous Stones when he saw the news that all the treasures had been exchanged.

“Damn! That bastard Lin Zhen, how could he screw me over like this?”

With veins popping on his forehead, Ye Hua’s anger had reached its peak.

Without question, he knew that Lin Zhen would never sell the Taiyuan Sword Skill to him.

However, he was determined to get his hands on this sword skill, but asking Ye Hua to go and try to take it from Lin Zhen by force was impossible since he was not confident that he could defeat Lin Zhen without his metal robot.

After some thought, he contacted Xuan Jiang in the Dimensional Universe.

“Ye Hua, you still have the nerve to come looking for me?”

Seeing it was a message from Ye Hua, Xuan Jiang was furious. He had been attacked by Ye Hua’s metal robot and suffered heavy casualties. His great plan to acquire the Taiyuan Sword Skill through the Five Ghosts was also destroyed. If it wasn’t for Ye Hua’s father being a World King in the machinery realm, Xuan Jiang would have sought revenge on Ye Hua long ago.

“Xuan Jiang, there’s no need for you to shout at me. Our grievances aside, I’m here to discuss a deal with you. If you feel like a 30 billion cosmic crystal deal is worth it, then let’s do it. If not, then forget it.”

“Oh, let’s hear it.”

“Lin Zhen, I want to make sure this brat can’t leave the mountain. Kill him for me on Mount Sumeru. Can you do that?”

Xuan Jiang didn’t make a sound. In fact, without Ye Hua saying, Xuan Jiang wanted to get rid of Lin Zhen too, he was happy to make more money in the process.

30 billion cosmic crystals was not a small sum, but Xuan Jiang still wanted to pretend to be picky.

“This price might not be enough. Ye Hua, you’re a rich man now, 30 billion isn’t that much to you, right?”

“Xuan Jiang, don’t be too greedy. If it wasn’t for Mount Sumeru, do you think I would come to you? After leaving the mountain, there’ll be plenty of people willing to take on the job for 300 million cosmic crystals, let alone 30 billion. Besides, that Lin Zhen should have some nice things on him too. You’ll get those after killing him. If you don’t agree, then forget it, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer.”

“Deal! Transfer the payment!” Xuan Jiang was afraid Ye Hua would change his mind, so he simply agreed.

“Here’s 15 billion. You can have the other half after completing the job.”

“Alright. I know the rules. Just wait for my good news.”

Since Xuan Jiang accepted Ye Hua’s commission, he immediately sprung into action.

He announced in the Dimensional Universe that anyone who could provide Lin Zhen’s location would be rewarded with one million cosmic crystals.

At this price, many people would risk their lives. People all over Mount Sumeru began searching for Lin Zhen’s whereabouts.

“Lin Zhen, I’m leaving.”

At the foot of the mountain, the dwarf Ni Ke was preparing to leave. She had gained a lot from following Lin Zhen this time and was very satisfied.

“Ni Ke, do you have a team in the arena?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Yes, I’m just following along.”

“Don’t stay with that team. Wait for my message, we’ll form a team together. I don’t have a team right now.”

“Okay, I believe when you return to the arena, you can teach Xuan Jiang and others a lesson. I’ll wait for your message, but it’s not easy to form a team with just the two of us.”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll find more people, I’m sure we’ll have a full team.”

Ni Ke felt relieved. She warned Lin Zhen to be careful as there were people all over the mountain looking for him. It wouldn’t be easy for him to leave Mount Sumeru.

Lin Zhen waved his hand, signaling that it was no problem, and Ni Ke left by herself.

Lin Zhen had been thinking about forming a team for a while now. Now that he had obtained the Star Illusion Stone, there was no one in the arena he needed to fear. But he needed teammates, otherwise, he couldn’t participate in team battles.

He already had some targets in mind. One was Yan Qiyue, as a person of Earth, he would definitely join him. Another one was Ni Ke.

He had two more, both of whom were old acquaintances from the arena. One was the Black Wing Clan princess Zi Qianxia from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, whom he had once let go.

At present, the Black Wing Clan’s princess was now a super expert at the Star System Level 7. He believed she would not refuse his invitation to form a team.

As for the other person, he wasn’t so sure but it was worth trying. This person was from the Tianhe Empire, the Imperial Emperor Long Juetian.

Long Juetian was at Tier Nine Star System. In the arena, his ranking was quite high, not far from Xuan Jiang’s. Inviting him would surely not be a waste.

Lin Zhen felt that he should communicate with Long Juetian since they both came from an advanced civilization Universe Country and had a connection.

But he had to get through his current predicament first.

Xuan Jiang announced in the Dimensional Universe that he would hunt Lin Zhen down. Many people were searching for him everywhere. It wouldn’t be easy for him to leave Mount Sumeru safely.

Or at least it used to be not easy, as for now, Lin Zhen was no longer afraid.

Although Mount Sumeru wasn’t huge, finding a hidden spot to hide for a while was still manageable.

Lin Zhen only needed a little time.

He found a secluded valley not too deep into the mountain, but it would still take a while for anyone to get inside from outside.

Deep in the valley, Lin Zhen sat down.

Raising his hand, the Star Illusion Stone appeared in his palm, emitting a soft blue light.

“Star Illusion Stone, finally in my grasp. Once I absorb it, my main body and avatar can transfer Star Energy between each other. To be on the safe side, I even brought my avatar here.”

“Come on, you guys. Once you find me, I’ll show you a brand-new Lin Zhen!”

A blue light shone, and Lin Zhen began to absorb the stone!
