Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 742: Chapter 533: Shopping_2

After thinking it over, Shi Hao asked, "Mr. Watcher, what price do you intend to sell this dragon corpse for?"

"You can call me Akas. If you want to buy this Legendary Realm dragon corpse, you’d probably have to offer about 2.3 million demon crystals. You can ask your master; this price is already quite cheap." The person spoke while making an inquiring look toward Chen Zhixing.

Well, in fact, Chen Zhixing could be considered one of their major customers. In recent times, the powerful life corpses found by the Watchers outside have basically all ended up in Chen Zhixing’s possession, and Akas originally intended to sell this dragon corpse to Chen Zhixing as well.

Seeing this, Shi Hao also looked at his master, but his meaning was different from Akas, directly asking, "Master, what is a demon crystal? Is it a kind of Spirit Stone from the Cosmic Realm?"

Chen Zhixing nodded but did not explain to Shi Hao, merely raised his head to Akas and said, "Send the thing to my place, and later go to Sos for the money."

"It’s my honor, Mr. Chen." Akas bowed, not worried that Chen Zhixing would default, nor worried that the God of the Human World would fail to pay him.

In fact, if possible, Akas very much hoped to exchange with Chen Zhixing for the Spirit Stones that Shi Hao mentioned, even at a discounted price. Unfortunately, the one who had always conducted transactions with Chen Zhixing was the God of the Human World, and none of these Watchers had managed to establish a trading channel with him. It had always been that Chen Zhixing bought the stuff, and they would go to Sos for payment.

After the master and apprentice bid farewell to Akas and headed to the next treehouse, Chen Zhixing roughly explained the Cosmic Realm’s prices to Shi Hao.

"The Cosmic Realm’s demon crystals are similar to Spirit Stones; both are mass-produced energy storage units. However, the size of demon crystals is only about seventy percent of the standard Spirit Stone unit, and their energy storage is only a quarter to a third, so they can be considered inferior Spirit Stones."

"Ah? Master, are you talking about low-grade Spirit Stones?"

"What else? Would you use top-grade Spirit Stones as a daily pricing unit?"

"Uh... you mean those that aren’t much bigger than a fingernail?" Shi Hao asked with a bewildered expression.

In reality, there’s no essential difference between the Celestial Profound Realm’s top-grade Spirit Stones and low-grade Spirit Stones. A top-grade Spirit Stone is roughly finger-thick, while a low-grade Spirit Stone is the size of a fingernail.

Logically, about eleven or twelve low-grade Spirit Stones can be pieced together into one top-grade Spirit Stone.

However, in terms of energy storage, the latter can store a hundred times the Spiritual Qi of the former, so the price is naturally a hundred times different!

And it’s still priceless in the market....

Simply because some high-grade Magical Artifacts, Immortal Ships, and Arrays all require top-grade Spirit Stones as energy drivers, while the only role low-grade Spirit Stones can play other than being currency and for daily absorption is for things like firework-making, miscellaneous labor, driving mechanisms, and consumables.

Chen Zhixing’s own home has many Spirit Stone Veins, so he naturally knows that so-called low-grade Spirit Stones are produced during the mining and casting process of Spirit Stones, where some are chipped and fragmented or their shape upon extraction doesn’t match top-grade Spirit Stones, and so they are sliced into what are called low-grade Spirit Stones.

They belong to small change.

Generally, cultivators use them to purchase some scattered daily items.

So here’s the question.

Two million three hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones are priced at just two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and you can buy a legendary strong person’s... Nirvana Realm, Peak Realm expert’s corpse. Is this price normal?

It’s not normal!!!

At this price in the Celestial Profound Realm, you can at most buy a pill that a Nirvana Realm cultivator can take. If you really wanted to buy a Nirvana Realm corpse, the price would need to be fifty times higher!

As for Peak?

Sorry, things from the Peak Realm are simply not for sale in the Celestial Profound Realm. They can only be exchanged between Noble Families or with the Holy Lands; even if ordinary loose cultivators have money, they can’t buy them!

"Master, if the corpse of a Peak Realm Fierce Beast were really sold for Spirit Stones, it would sell for tens of millions, right?" Shi Hao said, referring to top-grade Spirit Stones, fearing that others might overhear and misunderstand.

Chen Zhixing listened and, smiling, shook his head.

He naturally understood what Shi Hao meant.

But it wasn’t necessary.

No matter what price the Watchers would offer Shi Hao, once he traded with Sos, it would be another price.

Yes, the Cosmic World does need Spirit Stones desperately, causing its market prices to become insane. But some things are internal transactions; if sold to outsiders, the price would naturally differ.

Chen Zhixing didn’t intend to take advantage of this.

The price he offered might not compare to the Celestial Profound Realm, but in terms of real profit, it was five times over; this was something he had brought up to Sos, clarifying how much profit he would make.

Sos stated that since Chen Zhixing was conducting interdimensional business, if they couldn’t even offer him a fivefold profit, they’d be embarrassed to keep doing business with him.

So, selling at fivefold was an agreed price after their discussions.

It wasn’t as cheap as Shi Hao thought.

Of course.

The price of a Legendary Realm corpse in the Celestial Profound Realm would certainly differ. Just like those Golden Tigers eaten by the dogs, if sold in the Celestial Profound Realm, because they’re a rare species, as long as the supply were controlled, they would be snatched up for nearly a billion top-grade Spirit Stones.

If Chen Zhixing purchased by that standard, it wouldn’t take many decades for him to amass wealth equivalent to the size of the Ziwei Chen Family in the Celestial Profound Realm.

Though Chen Zhixing wasn’t very interested in this.

To him, Spirit Stones were things that sufficed for use. What he really needed couldn’t be bought with Spirit Stones unless he stumbled upon another Sos.

As for starting from scratch, using resources to cultivate cultivators... could it be faster than robbing?

Chen Zhixing has already begun cross-world robbing business with Sos, in which he holds a two-percent stake. How could cultivating and nurturing possibly match the speed of using the resources of an entire world like they’ve been doing to cultivate warriors for robbing?

So, Spirit Stones are for the amusement of his disciples. If he truly needed some treasure critically, following the old rules, he’d rally a handful of friends and make a move!

Of course, he did not deem it necessary to share these thoughts with Shi Hao.

And if calculated correctly, his disciple now might actually be quite wealthy in the Cosmic Realm. Should Shi Hao remember that he possesses a Cyan Wood Longevity Realm, he could instantly rank among the top wealthy in the Cosmic World, just under Sos.

Therefore.

For three days, master and disciple roamed around the Divine Wood Spring City. During this time, Shi Hao indulged himself like a true magnate, purchasing everything in sight without asking the price, simply having things packed and sent to his home.

Life was quite sweet.

Unfortunately, it only lasted three days.

After three days.

Along with Chen Zhixing, he met Sos and witnessed the majesty of the God of the Human World in the Cosmic Realm.

"My foolish disciple will be wandering in the Cosmic Realm in the future; please look after him."

"No problem."

"Well, why don’t we visit his Cyan Wood Longevity Realm together later and see if there’s anything there not meant for him to handle. You can take it away."

"My friend....."

"Don’t rush to refuse. I’m not worried you’d harm him after I leave. I just don’t trust those old folks from the Stone Race or the Great Venerable Cyan Wood who left the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm. This kid’s mind isn’t very sharp; I’d appreciate it if you’d help ensure his well-being so his grave isn’t overgrown by the time I return."

"My friend, with you putting it like this, how could I refuse? When shall we set off?"

"Right now."

"Now?"

"Hmm, let’s go."

"Alright."

Just like that, Shi Hao listened to a baffling conversation, and when he came to his senses, he found himself at the entrance of the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm....
