Lu Ye didn't go straight to Wanxiang Island this time. Although Wanxiang Island is the largest spiritual island in the Wanxiang Sea, with abundant resources, it doesn't mean that other spiritual islands are not viable.


Many Spirit Islands are occupied by powerful forces, with an entire star system or a top-level domain backing them. There are also quite a few good things to buy and sell on the Spirit Islands, especially some local specialties that can only be found in these specific places.

When Lu Ye arrived on the island, he clearly felt the divine sense of Yue Yao sweeping over him. That was obviously a powerful cultivator from Yue Yao's realm stationed on Dafang Island probing.


He doesn't mind, this is someone else's territory, he came over himself, they would definitely check him out.




Following the crowd, Lu Ye's family walked past each shop. They bought suitable fire attribute treasures along the way. By the time they left Dàfāng Island, it was already noon.


For the next month, Lu Ye kept doing this. Some Spirit Islands required a certain amount of spirit jade to enter, just like Wanxiang Island, but most Spirit Islands didn't require any fees.


Then Lu Ye discovered that the Spirit Islands that required Spirit Jade to enter had no less popularity than other Spirit Islands, even surpassing some. And each of these Spirit Islands, without exception, possessed their own unique treasure. Cultivators who wanted to purchase these treasures had to go to these specific Spirit Islands. The cost of a few or even dozens of Spirit Jade was naturally not something they would mind too much.


During his time in Lingdao, Lu Ye must have walked across a hundred or so islands. It truly broadened his horizons. He saw many strange and wonderful things, especially some local specialties that were quite good. Lu Ye felt that some of them could be useful to him, so he casually bought some.


Bai Zeling Island is insignificant compared to the vast Ocean of Ten Thousand Forms. Lu Ye didn't visit any other spirit islands, because if he wanted to explore all the spirit islands, it would take at least a year or two. The other spirit islands were inferior in both scale and depth compared to the ones Lu Ye had visited, so there was no need to waste time.


It wasn't until after January that Lu Ye arrived at the Wanxiang Island, paid several spirit jade, received a pass, and went straight onto the island.


He rushed straight to the location of the scattered market, arriving at the place where he had previously purchased Dragon's Breath Crystals.




It was still the same vendor as before, which wasn't surprising since he claimed to be stationed here by order and would have to stay for several years before anyone replaced him. It seems like it's not time yet.


After several encounters, Lu Ye had become familiar with him and knew his name was Anzhe.


"Greetings, old friend. It's been a long time! Are you here to buy Dragon Breath Crystals again?" An Ze greeted with a smile. After the Starry Sky Pavilion opened, almost all the cultivators from the Starry Sky Realm had left. He hadn't seen Lu Ye since then.


In fact, Lu Ye had seen him before because this fellow went to Hall No. 88 to do business. When he was shopping in Hall No. 88 at the time, he even took care of him.




Lu Ye nodded. "How much inventory is there?"


When An Zhe heard this, his spirit lifted: "Quite a few!"

Anzhe had long suspected that Lu Ye bought the Dragon's Breath Crystals not for himself, because Lu Ye bought them too frequently. No one person could possibly use that many Dragon's Breath Crystals. Now that Lu Ye said this, Anzhe immediately understood that there was a powerful force behind Lu Ye. Although he didn't know what they were planning, they clearly needed a large amount of Dragon's Breath Crystals.

"Selling to others, seven hundred pieces, no bargaining. If a fellow cultivator wants it, then on the original price basis, we'll lower it by five pieces. Of course, the prerequisite is that the fellow cultivator needs a large enough quantity!" Lu Ye said: "How many do you have? I want as much as you have!"


"That fellow, you'd better take a good look!" Saying this, he reached into his bosom and

He silently rejoiced, thankful that he had made a trip to the open market before heading to the Wanxiang Merchant Guild. His harvest was indeed quite good.




According to the agreed price, Lu Ye took out the corresponding number of Spirit Jade. The deal was struck with silver for jade.


An Zhe received the storage ring filled with spiritual jade, then spoke, “Fellow Daoist, you mentioned earlier that you hoped for a long-term friendly cooperative relationship between our two families…”

Anzhe’s eyes crinkled into a smile. "Yes, yes, we have them. But we're out of stock right now. I need to go back and report this, then order more from within the sector. It'll take at least half a year for the shipment to arrive, though... just wondering, how urgent is your need?"


The batch of goods on him wasn't brought out of the Domain all at once by himself, but rather accumulated here over time by his predecessors who brought them in piecemeal.

For the realm behind him, it was also a good thing. Millions of spirit jade coming in all at once is a considerable fortune no matter where you put it.


And if Anzhe can really connect with Lu Ye and establish cooperation, he'll have truly made a great achievement. In the future, there will be no shortage of sales outlets for the dragon breath crystals produced in our domain.


"No need to rush, when you're prepared for this matter, just contact me!" Lu Ye spoke. "Would the Daoist friend be convenient to exchange a sound note mark?" Anzhe asked. Lu Ye naturally agreed.


After they exchanged musical notes, Anzhema left without delay, apparently preparing to return to his own domain. However, with such a large sum of Spirit Jade on him, he certainly needed to be careful and avoid being intercepted halfway. Otherwise, it would be a disaster.


After leaving the open market, Lu Ye pondered for a while but still didn't go to the Wanxiang Merchant Association. Let me know if you need anything else translated!


"I was originally planning to buy enough Fire Essence Treasures from the loose market. If I couldn't get enough there, I would have bought them from the Wanxiang Merchant Guild. Although it would be more expensive, it wouldn't be as expensive as what they sell at the 88th Hall. Now that I've bought so many Dragon Breath Crystals from Anzhe, I don't need to anymore."


He also considered bringing back the seagrass and seashells he had brought from Xīngxù Diàn, as well as the various Star Beasts he had slain, to sell. But after careful consideration, he decided against it.


It is undeniable that these things hold immense value, but their origin remains a mystery. It's impossible to tell people they were brought up from the vast ocean of possibilities.


Since I don't need Spirit Jade for the time being, there's no need to cause trouble.

After leaving Wanxiang Island, Lu Ye took out a star chart and consulted it before heading in a particular direction.


Two days later, they arrived at a remote island. Such uninhabited islands were common in the vast Sea of Ten Thousand Phenomena. Some were large, some small. When cultivators had nowhere to go, they would often stop here to rest. Islands like this, unoccupied by cultivators, didn't even have a name on the star charts, only a simple marker.


Some very small islands don't even have markers.


This island isn't too small, but because its location is not very good, few cultivators pass through here.

This way, if he encounters any sudden
emergencies, he won't be trapped in the cave and can use the previously prepared equipment to escape.




After setting up several formations to conceal their location, Lu Ye finally sat cross-legged.




The purpose of coming here is to let the talent tree devour itself buy.


Those flames that came from the treasure, after experiencing what happened at Xingxu Hall before, Lu Ye felt that he had to let Tianfu Tree stockpile more fuel. That way, it could be prepared for any emergency.


But he didn't rush to do so. Instead, he first took out two spirit jade stones and held them in his left and right hands, silently refining them.


Now that he has advanced to the late stage of the Starry Sky, he wants to know how much his cultivation will increase the consumption of Spirit Jade.


When he first ascended to the Star Venerable realm, he only needed over a hundred spirit jade crystals per month to meet his cultivation needs. It wasn't that he could only refine that much; with the talent tree by his side, the efficiency of refining spirit jade crystals could be increased several times over. However, doing so would only cause unnecessary waste.


>>One hundred dollars a month is the best, most reasonable pace of practice that won't lead to waste.


Later, as his cultivation level increased, so did the demand for spirit jade. By the middle stage, he needed around four hundred pieces every month.


It's already the later stage, so there's definitely room for improvement. After some attempts, Lu Ye came up with an answer. Looking at it now, his demand for spirit jade is roughly one thousand pieces a month. This is within expectations, but as his cultivation level gradually increases in the future, the demand will inevitably increase as well.
