Chapter 1310: Business

“Every transfer station world is guarded by a chaotic saint-level powerful being, so it’s generally a safe place,” Xu Fan said as he walked through the city with Zhang Weiyun.

“With a chaotic saint here, there must be plenty of good stuff around!” Zhang Weiyun exclaimed, looking around with curiosity.

At that moment, the two were walking along the busiest street in the world, following the guide.

“Grape, let the disciples out for some fresh air, and make sure they don’t cause any trouble,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master.”

A tall spatial gate appeared at the entrance of the transfer world, and the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples began to emerge one by one.

Inside a shop filled with the scent of herbs, Xu Fan noticed a heavenly spirit root.

“The Ten Thousand Medicine Tree contains a large world and can grow all kinds of spiritual herbs, both inside and outside the realm,” said a black-skinned Spirit Race member, whose features were hard to make out due to his dark complexion.

His white teeth stood out vividly as he spoke.

“How much in Primordial Purple Qi crystals?” Xu Fan asked.

He examined the Ten Thousand Medicine Tree and found that it was infused with various spiritual energies and chaotic auras, mixed with a special energy that could speed up its growth by ten thousand times.

It was ideal for cultivating higher-level spiritual herbs that only thrive in chaotic aura environments.

“If you’re interested, it’s 20,000 lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystal.”

“Plant it outside your world, and even the most basic chaotic grass will pay for itself within three epochs,” the black-skinned salesman assured confidently.

“Lower it to 15,000 lengths, and I’ll take it,” Xu Fan bargained, sensing that he wasn’t in urgent need of this heavenly spirit root at that price.

“Sir, how about I throw in a Hunyuan Fruit seed? They say that after ten epochs of cultivation, the fruit can extract the chaotic truth.”

The black-skinned vendor extended his hand, revealing a seed that radiated pure chaotic aura.

Xu Fan stared at the seed for a long moment before leaving with Zhang Weiyun.

“Sir, wait!”

“We can negotiate!”

“15,000 lengths it is!”

The black-skinned salesman chased after them, looking as desperate as a swallow chasing its prey.

But Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun had already vanished from sight.

“Husband, why didn’t you buy it?” Zhang Weiyun asked curiously.

“That heavenly spirit root and the seed are problematic. Buying them would lead to big losses later,” Xu Fan explained.

After inspecting the Hunyuan seed, Xu Fan used the Heavenly Position Pearl to check its details and also inquired about the Ten Thousand Medicine Tree.

But the answers he got were troubling; it was clear that bringing them back would only cause headaches.

“Alright~”

“Grape, send the list of scams used in the ten transfer worlds of the South Six Region to the Yuan Lord, the Lord of the Demon Domain, and all the disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect,” Xu Fan ordered.

“Understood, Master.”

“In this transfer world, the shops run by the Thirteen Large Powerful Families are somewhat trustworthy, but the rest are all traps.”

Inside the Heavenly Merchant Clan shop, Xu Fan and Zhang Weiyun felt like they had stepped into a treasure trove.

All sorts of supreme treasures, spiritual treasures, and incredibly rare chaotic spirit ore were neatly arranged on the shelves, each with its own description.

After browsing for a while, Xu Fan bought a batch of chaotic spirit ore that could be used to refine Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures.

At checkout, the Heavenly Merchant Clan noticed Xu Fan’s Heavenly Position Pearl and respectfully escorted the two to the core area.

As soon as they entered the core area, the system runic sphere within Xu Fan’s spirit stirred, radiating a sense of hunger.

Xu Fan’s attention was immediately drawn to the center of the core area.

There, he spotted the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure chaotic vial, containing a swirling mass of chaotic truth.

Xu Fan’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the chaotic truth inside the vial, fighting to suppress the cravings of the system runic sphere within him.

"This vial of chaotic truth is equivalent to the amount found in five chaotic giant beasts," Xu Fan remarked.

"And this pure form of chaotic truth is what truly pushes a Great Saint to take that final step," he added, checking the price of the vial.

"Three million lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystals, plus ten Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures."

After a quick glance at his savings, Xu Fan decided it was better to stick to hunting chaotic giant beasts for now.

Still, it wasn’t a total loss. Xu Fan felt he had gained some insight into the pure state of chaotic truth and even had a new idea for extracting it.

After seeing the chaotic truth, Xu Fan lost interest in everything else in the core area.

The earlier hunger from the system runic sphere suddenly made Xu Fan feel like he was on the brink of breaking through to the Great Saint level.

"No, I need to figure out a way to get more Primordial Purple Qi crystals," Xu Fan muttered.

He pulled out the Heavenly Position Pearl and began making inquiries.

Two hours later, Xu Fan withdrew his thoughts from the pearl.

"Husband, did you come up with a plan to get Primordial Purple Qi crystals?" Zhang Weiyun asked.

"I’ve got a few ideas. First, we need to rent a shop," Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.

In the core city of the transfer exchange world, a small shop opened on a quiet street.

Xu Fan, Yuan Lord, the Lord of the Demon Domain, and six human race elders gathered inside.

"Esteemed seniors, you’ve all seen the price of the chaotic truth, right?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it’s ridiculously high," the Arrow Elder blurted out.

Of the group, the chaotic truth tempted him the most.

"I just checked with the Heavenly Merchant Clan. A chaotic saint-level giant beast costs 30,000 lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystals," Xu Fan explained.

"And the chaotic aura I extract from it, which contains chaotic truth, can sell for at least 150,000 lengths."

"So, I’m planning to start this business in the major transfer worlds."

"We’ll build our reputation by offering 40,000 lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystals for chaotic saint-level giant beasts, and I’ll handle the extraction of chaotic aura."

"This way, we’ll save time compared to hunting them one by one," Xu Fan said confidently.

At that moment, Yuan Lord, the Lord of the Demon Domain, and the other human race elders exchanged uneasy glances.

"Things have been expensive lately. I’ve only got a little over 20,000 lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystals on me," the Lord of the Demon Domain admitted, scratching his head.

"I’ve got 30,000," said another.

"I’ve got 23,000," added a third.

After pooling their resources, they realized they only had enough to buy two chaotic giant beasts.

"How about we hunt a few first to gather more Primordial Purple Qi crystals?" the Lord of the Demon Domain suggested.

"That could work. I saw a shop earlier that sells information on chaotic giant beast locations," Yuan Lord chimed in.

"Alright, let’s hunt three chaotic giant beasts. I’ll refine them into chaotic aura, and we’ll use the profits to open the shop," Xu Fan decided.

At the exit of the transfer world, the Human Palace appeared, swiftly heading in a clear direction.

They had spent 20,000 lengths of Primordial Purple Qi crystals to buy the locations of three chaotic giant beasts from the information shop.
