The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2091: Polite on the Surface

Several days later, the hundred pieces of Black Crystal Stone gifted to Jing Yan by the Seventh Young Master Ying Zuo of the Ying Family were consumed. Consequently, Jing Yan smoothly recovered from the Law Realm to the All Things Realm level.

In the Ying Family Territory, a cultivator in the All Things Realm is considered quite powerful.

"I need to find a way to acquire some resources. Elevating my realm and practicing the Seven Luminaries Technique requires many resources." Jing Yan pondered.

Should he go ask Ying Zuo for more?

Jing Yan truly didn’t have the face for it. He had been at Ying Zuo Mansion for merely ten days, and Ying Zuo had given him quite a lot already. If he stayed for decades or even hundreds of years, he wouldn’t need to ask, Ying Zuo should proactively offer resources again.

The time has been too short.

Moreover, even if Ying Zuo were excessively generous, he couldn’t possibly satisfy the endless demands of his guests.

"Material resources are indispensable."

"I must quickly boost my strength, transitioning from the Law Realm to the All Things Realm is easy, but recovering to the Controller Realm is much harder. Returning to the Title Controller requires astonishing resources, even if there are no Dao Skill impediments."

"For now... I have no good plan!"

"I can only first sell some secret treasures," Jing Yan thought to himself.

He didn’t bring much out from the Chaos World, but he did have some secret treasures from there, with the lowest level being treasures used by Controllers. In the Immortal Domain, these should exchange for a lot of resources.

However, these secret treasures, being from the Chaos World, have internal structures and engraved Divine Patterns that differ greatly from those in the Immortal Domain. If Jing Yan wants to sell the secret treasures, he first needs to change their Divine Patterns so they can be used in the Immortal Domain.

Doing this is not difficult for Jing Yan.

In the Chaos World, Jing Yan already possessed very high Artifact Refining Ability. Since coming to the Immortal Domain, he had become more familiar with the Power of Laws there. Moreover, the Power of Laws in both worlds originates from the same source—in essence, though changes are needed, they are not fundamentally different.

If the power of the modified secret treasures decreases somewhat, Jing Yan can accept that.

Thus, Jing Yan spent a few more days transforming a defensive secret treasure.

"It’s done!"

"This Dao Extreme Clothing, after my modifications, can now be used in the Immortal Domain, with its power not significantly reduced. Even Nether Sky Realm cultivators should have considerable interest in it. Hopefully, it can exchange for many resources." Jing Yan squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the gray secret treasure floating before him.

A tea’s time later, Jing Yan arrived at the largest business building in Divine Martial City, named Mystic Moon Trading House.

The owner of Mystic Moon Trading House is an extremely powerful cultivator. Mystic Moon Trading House is widespread throughout many places in the Immortal Domain, with the branch in Divine Martial City being just a regular one.

When Jing Yan entered Mystic Moon Trading House, a middle-aged woman approached him.

"Mr. Jing Yan, welcome to Mystic Moon Trading House," the middle-aged woman greeted Jing Yan with a smile.

"You know me?" Jing Yan was slightly surprised.

The woman unexpectedly mentioned his name, which indeed caught him off guard. He hadn’t been in the Immortal Domain for long, and it had only been ten days since arriving at Divine Martial City and becoming a guest at Ying Zuo Mansion. Additionally, this was his first time leaving Ying Zuo Mansion during this period.

"It’s my first time seeing Mr. Jing Yan in person, but I know he is a guest of the Seventh Young Master of the Ying Family. Before this, I have seen Mr. Jing Yan’s portrait, so I can recognize him now," the middle-aged woman replied with a smile.

She wore a smile on her face, but it was obviously formal, and beneath this courtesy, she likely didn’t hold Jing Yan in high regard.

If Ying Zuo himself had come here, she would take him seriously. However, since it’s just a guest of Ying Zuo, she showed up to greet him as a courtesy to Ying Zuo.

Jing Yan could undoubtedly perceive her perfunctory attitude, but he didn’t mind. He came to Mystic Moon Trading House with the intention of selling the Dao Extreme Clothing to exchange for the Black Crystal Stone and other resources he needed.

"So that’s how it is." Jing Yan nodded.

"Mr. Jing Yan, are you here to purchase any resources this time? If you find something interesting, please let me know," the middle-aged woman said, looking at Jing Yan.

She was the manager of the Mystic Moon Trading House in Divine Martial City, but above her was a higher-ranking Building Owner. However, a Building Owner of Mystic Moon Trading House does not oversee a single branch, typically a Building Owner manages all Mystic Moon Trading Houses in a region, which can include up to a hundred or at least a few dozen branches. Therefore, under normal circumstances, a trading house manager like her wields significant power within a branch.

She herself is a cultivator in the All Things Realm.

"Could you please take a look at this?" Jing Yan took out the modified Dao Extreme Clothing.

Upon seeing the Dao Extreme Clothing, the manager’s expression didn’t change. She knew Jing Yan probably intended to sell something by showing the Dao Extreme Clothing. However, what good things could a mere cultivator in the Law Realm possess? So, she wasn’t very attentive and casually took the Dao Extreme Clothing in her hand while activating Divine Power to examine it.

Divine Power enveloped the Dao Extreme Clothing, easily penetrating it. Yet, the manager’s face changed, as her Divine Power seemed lost in the Dao Extreme Clothing’s internal space without any feedback.

What’s going on?

The trading house manager’s gaze shifted, and her expression became serious. She activated Divine Power with more deliberation, slowly penetrating the Dao Extreme Clothing again.

"This... this..." The manager took a deep breath.

Being a knowledgeable cultivator, managing a Mystic Moon Trading House indicates she surpasses ordinary All Things Realm cultivators. The treasures she has seen are likely beyond what many Nether Sky Realm cultivators can compare. Nonetheless, seeing the treasure Jing Yan presented surprised her.

It’s not that she hasn’t seen treasures of this caliber before, but she couldn’t fathom how a cultivator in the Law Realm could possess a treasure of this caliber.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the treasure in her hand should be of the Nether Sky Realm level and a defensive type magic treasure.

"Mr. Jing Yan, do you... you intend to sell this magic treasure?" The manager returned her gaze to Jing Yan, trying to control her inner turbulence.

Within the Mystic Moon Trading House branch in Divine Martial City, Nether Sky Realm level magic treasures are rarely seen. A few are displayed and for sale, but they all carry staggering prices. The cultivators able to purchase such magic treasures in the Ying Family Territory are extremely few.

"I’ve shown you this magic treasure for inspection because I intend to sell it," Jing Yan replied with a nod.
