Chapter 404: Chapter 398: Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill

To be honest, when the Tower Master of the Stars Tower, Hai Luoshuang, revealed Yan Kun’s background and identity, Ye Zhen immediately felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his head.

Because according to what Hai Luoshuang said, compared to Yan Kun’s background, the Tiannan Huaa Family’s status behind Huaa Wushuang was practically insignificant.

With each of the nine domains of the True Profound Continent having a branch of the Stars Tower, the Yan Clan to which Yan Kun belonged was one of the oldest and most prestigious families within the Stars Tower.

Otherwise, Yan Kun would not have become the Deputy Tower Master of the Black Dragon Domain’s Stars Tower.

But the fact that Yan Kun could obtain his family’s support to become the Deputy Tower Master of the Black Dragon Domain’s Stars Tower, and was even on the verge of taking Hai Luoshuang’s place as the Tower Master, spoke volumes about Yan Kun’s status or importance in the Yan Family.

In short, as Hai Luoshuang put it, killing Yan Kun could potentially bring Ye Zhen a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Hai Luoshuang couldn’t help Ye Zhen in this matter, because there were too many witnesses, and she could only report the truth to the Main Building.

However, under such circumstances, Ye Zhen was also fortunate.

The heinous act committed by Yan Shaqi was witnessed by everyone, which, if spread, would be a stain on the Yan Family’s reputation.

Except for a few evil cults like the Blood God Sect, goodness and justice have always been the most mainstream voices everywhere, at least superficially so.

Therefore, as long as this matter was reported truthfully, even if Yan Kun held a high position within the Stars Tower’s Yan Family, he was basically done for.

The Yan Family could not openly and directly trouble Ye Zhen.

However, as the saying goes, one can never see a person’s true thoughts, so whatever actions the Yan Family might take in private remained unknown.

All of this was what Hai Luoshuang told Ye Zhen, leaving him feeling somewhat gloomy.

Nevertheless, this gloom lasted for only a hundred or so steps; once Ye Zhen returned to his Refined House, he cast aside all thoughts of the Yan Family’s potential threat.

Firstly, Ye Zhen’s conscience was clear.

If the incident were to happen again, even knowing Yan Kun’s background, Ye Zhen would still unhesitatingly execute Yan Shaqi and his son without the slightest mercy.

Secondly, Ye Zhen couldn’t care less because he had more pressing concerns than fearing lice or debts.

Counting on his fingers, Ye Zhen had offended quite a few powerful forces.

Recently, there were Sword Origin Sect and Phantom Divine Sect, with the Sect Master of Sword Origin Sect personally taking action to deal with Ye Zhen, though he was blocked by the Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing.

As for the Phantom Divine Sect, it goes without saying, their True Inheritor Bu Changtian died at Ye Zhen’s hands, and Sect Elders like Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Qing Yii, and Hongfeng all hate Ye Zhen to the core.

As for Xie Lvu, the Law Enforcement Elder of Qingluo Sect, and True Master Tianzhu, Ye Zhen didn’t even take them seriously.

From afar, there was the number one noble family in the Black Dragon Domain, the Tiannan Huaa Family, where even the Flower King’s direct lineage bloodline, Huaa Wushuang, died at Ye Zhen’s hands, although this matter was kept secret.

However, Ye Zhen didn’t believe he could stay out of it forever.

Just like the death of Bu Changtian, the True Inheritor of the Phantom Divine Sect, although no one from the sect saw him die by Ye Zhen’s hand.

Yet, both the Thousand Illusion Eagle King and Elder Qing Yii firmly believed that it was Ye Zhen who did it.

All defenses ring hollow against such certainty.

Similarly, once the Tiannan Huaa Family turned their suspicions towards Ye Zhen, it would be considered the truth whether it was true or not.

Just as Ye Zhen executed Yan Shaqi.

Although no one witnessed Yan Shaqi torturing Banxia’s family to death, upon seeing the dead bodies of Banxia’s family, Ye Zhen was convinced that it was Yan Shaqi’s doing.

It was intuition.

It was also a direct reflection of the power of strength.

As long as one has enough power, all sophistries can be ignored; even if you are wronged, you are still considered guilty.

When one is burdened with many mountains, another one hardly matters.

Thus, after returning to his room, Ye Zhen completely relaxed, tossing aside all thoughts of Yan Kun’s background and the Tiannan Huaa Family.

After meditating for a while, a flash of light appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand and the exquisitely delicate Ten Thousand Stars Plate appeared in his palm. The moment it appeared, a hazy jade-like radiance emerged, and streams of concise, vigorous information darted through the hazy light of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Ye Zhen planned to thoroughly research the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Since obtaining the Ten Thousand Stars Plate, Ye Zhen had realized that he had wasted such a treasure.

Thus far, the only function of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate Ye Zhen had used was to offer bounties and purchase information. Of course, Ye Zhen also knew about its function to search out and explore mysteries.

However, the secret realms that appear on the list of the Stars Tower are mostly unremarkable. The really good stuff doesn’t easily show itself.

Also, with star point transactions and accepting tasks, these were all the functions of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate that Ye Zhen knew of.

But yesterday, while having drinks and a chat with Du Xinglei, Ye Zhen discovered the real reason the Ten Thousand Stars Plate attracted the attention of heroes from all over the world — and it was something Ye Zhen still didn’t know.

The Ten Thousand Stars Plate had another vital function aside from what Ye Zhen already knew—it was a trading platform for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as secret techniques!

By projecting your Divine Sense into a specific area of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate, you could see all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all listed openly with set prices.

If you could find the item you wanted in the trade catalog of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate and had enough star points, you could buy such treasures.

As Du Xinglei had said, as long as it wasn’t an extremely rare treasure, you could basically find and purchase anything on the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Moreover, what martial artists considered extremely rare treasures varied.

For instance, what a Spirit Transformation Realm warrior considered a rare treasure could be trash to a Soul Sea Practitioner or a Vein Forging Realm warrior. Treasures in the eyes of a Vein Forging Warrior could be worthless to a King of the Establishment Realm.

An Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skill might be extremely precious within the Black Dragon Domain, a treasure of the major sects, but in other regions of the True Profound Continent, it might be quite ordinary.

However, the main business of Stars Tower was profiting from this price difference.

They would sell items that were common in other domains in the Black Dragon Domain, and of course, at the Black Dragon Domain’s prices.

Many of these items sold for sky-high prices.

Yet the existence of Stars Tower at least provided many martial artists within the Black Dragon Domain a direction for their efforts. Normally, even if a mid-tier Martial Arts Family gave it their all, they couldn’t obtain an Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skill.

Nowadays, if you had enough Spirit Crystals, enough star points, you could buy an Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skill.

Of course, besides Spirit Crystals, the prerequisite was that you had to be qualified to make the purchase.

This was also why the Stars Tower had such enormous influence in the Black Dragon Domain; it was said that even the major sects, including Phantom Divine Sect, purchased some scarce resources through Stars Tower.

Of course, the prices were high, sometimes even exorbitant.

The Ning Shen Jade Liquid that Ye Zhen was most familiar with and drank the most, he had already found it in the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Ning Shen Jade Liquid.

Purchase qualification: any member of Stars Tower.

Price: two hundred thousand star points.

(Note: ordinary members can only purchase up to ten bottles at once, while Assistant Stars and above have no limit.)

This was the detailed information of the Ning Shen Jade Liquid on the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Truth be told, this price was outrageously inflated.

At the auction held by Fragrant Pill King, one bottle of Ning Shen Jade Liquid would sell for only ninety thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals, yet Stars Tower’s selling price was as high as two hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals—more than double.

However, Stars Tower had a sufficient supply.

As long as there was a purchase, they could provide the goods.

Furthermore, because of the Ning Shen Jade Liquid’s essential role in healing Divine Soul Injuries, many major sects made it a rule to stock up on several bottles, but they would seldom use it.

There was no helping it; Ning Shen Jade Liquid was just too scarce in the Black Dragon Domain. Elsewhere, no matter how many Spirit Crystals you had, you couldn’t buy it. You could only turn to Stars Tower, and in such a situation, a bit of price gouging didn’t seem so bad.

Naturally, ordinary members didn’t have the convenience of someone possessing a Ten Thousand Stars Plate like Ye Zhen; they could only visit a Stars Tower outpost to inquire about purchases, and it’s said that there’s an additional charge for buying at the outpost.

Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skills and cultivation techniques were also available on the Ten Thousand Stars Plate, and there were many varieties.

However, their selling prices were absolutely terrifying.

An Upper-grade Earth Level mental method called Black Nether Technique was priced at two million star points, equivalent to two million Low Grade Spirit Crystals, or twenty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals. Slightly smaller sects could hardly afford this price.

Moreover, for Upper-grade Earth Level mental methods and Martial Skills, there were not only exorbitant prices but also purchase qualifications that were limited to members of the Seventy-two Meteor and above.

However, looking at it from another angle, if a small sect could attain the qualification of the Seventy-two Meteor and picked an Upper-grade Earth Level mental method, they might work generations just to get a hold of such a manual.

Stars Tower was extremely strict with the restrictions on items like cultivation technique manuals, and it was said they even sold Divine Power Martial Skills.

But to purchase those, you’d need to be an Assistant Star, Star Suppressing, or even a Main Star, and special materials needed for cultivating Divine Power Martial Skills could also be bought.

The only regret was that Ye Zhen, currently only one of the Seventy-two Meteor in Stars Tower, couldn’t see such Divine Power Martial Skills or even more precious treasures in his Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

But this didn’t hinder Ye Zhen from browsing through various items in the Ten Thousand Stars Plate; it felt like visiting a super large Treasure Tower, and the only slight disappointment was not being able to see the actual items.

Suddenly, as Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense leisurely browsed through the information of various items, it abruptly came to a halt, his attention freezing on a line of information.

Seeing this line, not only did Ye Zhen’s gaze stiffen abruptly, but even his hand holding the Ten Thousand Stars Plate trembled violently.

Ye Zhen’s breath, which usually remained steady even if mountains collapsed before him, became rapid because of these words.

This line wasn’t long, just seven characters, but it made Ye Zhen’s gaze unable to shift away.
