Chapter 1136: Chapter 1135: Top-Grade Nether Stones

"This city has eight major teleportation formations, including the Reincarnation Formation, the Purgatory Formation, the Abi Formation, the Ghostly Formation, and so on. The Ghostly Formation is the only way to the next level. We could fight our way through, forcefully enter the teleportation formation, but if we do that, our journey in The Nether World will become exceedingly difficult."

At this moment, Yusuf Zuck and Fatty had already entered the city. There were quite a few souls like them in the city—these were the plainest of citizens.

"Just tell me how to get through," Yusuf Zuck said impatiently.

"Bribery, of course. In any realm, as long as there are sufficient benefits, anything is possible!" Fatty spoke as he walked into a business called ’Heaven and Earth Bank.’

Two armed Netherworld cultivators stood on either side of the bank’s entrance, both seemingly of no low rank, and the clerks inside the bank were also Netherworld cultivators.

The biggest difference between Netherworld cultivators and ordinary souls is that Netherworld cultivators have a blood qi, they can breathe, and their bodies are warm. On the other hand, souls are just empty shells, lacking blood qi, heartbeat, and breath, cold to the touch.

This Heaven and Earth Bank appeared to be a rather large bank.

When Yusuf Zuck saw Heaven and Earth Bank, he reckoned it was similar to the fake currency burned in the Mortal World for the dead, labeled with names like ’Heaven and Earth Bank,’ and the notes had denominations of a hundred billion, a trillion, and so on.

He was quite interested in watching how Fatty would make the exchange, and wondered whether the Nether currency used here was just pieces of paper?

Fatty approached a clerk and whispered, "I have Immortal Spirit Stones, do you exchange them?"

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck was momentarily startled behind him, as was the clerk, who then scrutinized Fatty up and down a few times before shifting his gaze to Yusuf Zuck.

The two were wearing robes, hence bereft of any Immortal Spirit Qi or Netherworld cultivator aura. From an outsider’s perspective, the pair looked like ordinary souls, the most common kind of souls.

"How many do you have?" the clerk asked, his mouth curving into a smile. Two mere Nether souls actually possessing Immortal Spirit Stones was a rare spectacle.

In The Nether World, the term for souls is ’Nether Souls.’

Fatty seemed unconcerned with the clerk’s attitude and thought for a moment before declaring seriously, "About a billion."

"What?" The clerk nearly leaped up in shock, his eyes widening.

"Can you exchange them?" Fatty continued to ask.

"Please wait, just a moment!" The clerk hurriedly ran towards the back of the counter.

"You’re going big!" Yusuf Zuck warned in a soft voice.

"Yes, if you’re going to play, play big, right? I’m hungry, there’ll be something to eat soon!" Fatty chuckled mischievously.

Yusuf Zuck struggled to keep up with her train of thought. How did it turn to eating again? After exchanging for Nether currency, were they planning to go for some dose of Yin energy?

There was a rustling sound as the curtain behind them was lifted, and then a Netherworld cultivator stepped out.

Yusuf Zuck discerned that this Netherworld cultivator’s aura was roughly equivalent to a Fusion realm cultivator from the Mortal Cultivators. He must be a Fusion Netherworld cultivator.

After the Fusion Netherworld cultivator sized up Yusuf Zuck and Fatty, particularly when his gaze fell on Fatty, he frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask if you died from obesity in the Mortal World?"

Yusuf Zuck nearly laughed aloud; this Fusion Netherworld cultivator really had a sharp tongue.

"Never mind how I died. Can you make the exchange or not? If you can’t, I’ll find another place!" Fatty didn’t care at all about what others said or thought about her.

"Yes, we can make the exchange. One Lower Grade Immortal Spirit Stone for one Lower Grade Nether Stone!"

"Nether Stones?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback. Not Nether currency? But Nether Stones?

"That’s right. The Netherworld cultivators here need to train as well, so naturally, they use Nether Stones. Otherwise, how would they cultivate with just pieces of paper?" Yusuf Zuck had an epiphany.

"Is this place a rip-off?" Fatty sneered. "What, because we’re Nether Souls, you think you can fleece us?"

"So how would you like to exchange?" The fusion Nether Cultivator was somewhat uncertain. Logically speaking, all Nether Souls living in The Nether World would be trembling with fear upon seeing a Nether Cultivator, who would dare to speak to them so confidently?

Yet this fat woman spoke with great assurance, and he saw no fear in her or the man with her. Of course, it could also be that they were just puffing themselves up, deliberately making themselves appear confident. Hence his uncertainty.

"I don’t ask for much, one hundred million Spirit Stones in exchange for three hundred million Lower Grade Nether Stones. Say no and I leave immediately. I don’t want to hear any nonsense!" Fatty said briskly.

"Agreed, please proceed with the trade inside!" the fusion Nether Cultivator readily replied.

"No need for inside trades, here are one hundred million Lower Grade Spirit Stones!" Fatty produced a ring and said.

"Is that an Immortal Ring?" The fusion cultivator was greatly surprised, for the ring Fatty had brought out radiated Immortal Spirit Qi. Their Space Rings here were all Nether Rings, devoid of any Immortal Spirit Qi!

"I’ll give you the Immortal Ring as well, no need to thank me!" Fatty said nonchalantly.

"Alright, please wait a moment!" the fusion Nether Cultivator grabbed the ring and headed to the back hall.

A short while later, he returned, holding a ring that emitted a dark, ghostly aura – it was a Nether Ring.

Fatty took the ring, glanced at it briefly, and then turned to leave.

"Wait a second, let me take a look at that ring," Yusuf Zuck called out to Fatty, gesturing for her to hand over the ring.

Fatty, not understanding his intention and thinking that Yusuf Zuck wanted to verify the amount, handed over the ring while smiling, "Exactly three hundred million, not one more, not one less!"

"Let me see it first." Yusuf Zuck took the ring and directly retrieved a Nether Stone from within!

"Huh~" As the Nether Stone came into his possession, it was cool and slightly heavy, but his Purple Blood Beads showed no reaction at all!

He wanted to see if the Nether Stone could unlock the Purple Blood Beads.

"Do you have any Superior ones?" he asked the fusion Nether Cultivator.

"We do, would you like to exchange?" the Nether Cultivator replied.

"May I see one?" Yusuf Zuck continued.

"That’s no problem." The Nether Cultivator casually pulled out a Superior Nether Stone and handed it to Yusuf Zuck.

The moment Yusuf Zuck took the Superior Nether Stone, the Purple Blood Beads deep in his mind flashed, and a streak of purple light flashed by!

"It’s effective; just like Immortal Spirit Stones, Superior Nether Stones can unlock my Purple Blood Beads!" At this moment, Yusuf Zuck’s heart was flipping with excitement because he had not anticipated this unexpected blessing.

He hadn’t come to The Nether World to cultivate or to unlock the Purple Blood Beads, yet, he had now found out by chance that the effects of the Superb Dark Stone and Superior Immortal Spirit Stone were the same, both capable of unlocking the Purple Blood Beads.

At least for now, the Superb Dark Stone definitely had a major effect!

"Do you have any Superb Dark Stones? I want to exchange!" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed loudly.

"Superb Dark Stones?" The fusion Nether Cultivator was taken aback, then chuckled bitterly, "We might have some at our main estate, but they would definitely not be available for exchange. Superb Dark Stones have a price but no market, as they’re scarce resources, unobtainable!"

"Of course, if you have any... If you have any Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, I could ask on your behalf!" the fusion Nether Cultivator said with a grin.

"Superior Immortal Spirit Stones?" Yusuf Zuck was flabbergasted. He had used up all of his Superior Immortal Spirit Stones; not a single one was left!

"I happen to have two, please go and ask for me," Fatty suddenly said.

The fusion Nether Cultivator’s eyes sparkled with interest and continued, "Very well, please leave your contact information. Once I’ve made contact with the higher-ups and if the exchange is possible, we will seek you out!"

"We don’t have any contact information, we are currently residing and cultivating on a mountain three thousand li outside the city!" Fatty replied, shaking her head.

The fusion Nether Cultivator nodded, "Understood, we will send someone to notify you once we have news."
