Chapter 405: Chapter 399: The Old Voice of the Valley

Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill!

Made from four types of innate spiritual medicine as main ingredients, assisted by a hundred heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and refined by an alchemy grandmaster through a secret technique. Upon consumption, it allows martial artists below the Heavenly Vein level to newly condense and enhance an innate bloodline.

These few lines of text not only made Ye Zhen’s eyes widen, but also stirred up a storm in his heart.

Strangely, when Ye Zhen saw this, his first thought wasn’t the price, but instead, he thought of Floating Cloud Master’s ultimate work in Floating Cloud Cave.

Floating Cloud Master, who had lived a frustrated life due to a low innate bloodline.

If Floating Cloud Master saw this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, he would probably risk his life to obtain it.

Of course, that was also Ye Zhen’s choice.

Having cultivated until now, Ye Zhen deeply understood the importance of the quantity of innate bloodlines. In the future, when his cultivation reached the Soul Sea Realm or even the Vein Forging Realm, the number of innate bloodlines had become the most critical factor in determining a martial artist’s combat power.

Therefore, for Ye Zhen, who only had four innate bloodlines, there was only one choice—obtain it!

Without needing to think, Ye Zhen knew that for a long time to come, his goal would be this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill.

"I wonder how much it costs...."

With a thought of his divine sense, the detailed information of the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill appeared in the hazy light and shadows of the Ten Thousand Stars Plate.

Hiss!

"Fifty....million star points....."

Although Ye Zhen had mentally prepared himself and anticipated that the price of the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill would be very high, extremely high, he still gasped in shock when he saw the actual price.

This was simply..... astronomical.

Fifty million star points, equivalent to fifty million Low Grade Spirit Crystals.

What does fifty million Low Grade Spirit Crystals mean?

The total annual income of Spirit Crystals for the Qiyun Sect, including all sources such as mines, shops, disciples completing sect missions, and sect businesses, amounted to about ten million Low Grade Spirit Crystals a year.

This was just the total income and did not mean that the sect’s treasury could net an increase of ten million Low Grade Spirit Crystals in a year.

The sect elders, True Disciples, and many deacons, stewards, and Inner Sect Disciples of the Qiyun Sect all had to receive a fixed number of Spirit Crystals from the sect every month, not to mention the Outer Disciples and servant disciples who consumed a huge amount of pills, and the large number of people involved.

With various expenditures, eighty to ninety percent of the total income would mostly be consumed.

In a year, the Qiyun Sect could barely save over a million Low Grade Spirit Crystals at most.

In other words, if Ye Zhen became the leader of the Qiyun Sect, it would take about fifty years to save enough to exchange for one Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill at the Stars Tower.

This was assuming the entire Qiyun Sect was under Ye Zhen’s control without any other major expenditures; otherwise, it might not even be enough in seventy or eighty years.

This exorbitant price of fifty million star points was thus conceivable.

However, this astronomical price of fifty million star points didn’t scare Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen believed that as his cultivation level increased, he would be able to earn star points and Spirit Crystals faster, and there would always be hope if he worked hard.

What was really deadly was not other conditions, but the two words under the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill that left Ye Zhen feeling cold.

Out of stock!

Out of stock or not, it finally provided Ye Zhen with a way to increase his innate bloodlines. Ye Zhen believed that since this pill existed, the shortage might be temporary, perhaps it would be available again someday unexpectedly.

Of course, before it became available, Ye Zhen still needed to accumulate those fifty million star points.

Fifty million star points was not something he could accumulate overnight; Ye Zhen could only gradually work towards this goal.

"Whew!"

Taking a long breath, Ye Zhen marked the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill as important, and then continued browsing to see if there were other good items in the Stars Tower.

Actually, there were many good items, including pills for cultivation and even high grade treasures, but they were all exorbitantly priced.

Originally, with Ye Zhen’s thirty thousand star points on the Stars Plate, plus the total value of over three hundred thousand Mid-grade and High Grade Spirit Crystals in his storage ring, Ye Zhen would have been considered wealthy among Spirit Transformation Realm martial artists.

However, in front of the exorbitant prices of various treasures in the Stars Tower, that really wasn’t much.

Now, Ye Zhen’s only hope lay in those few Supreme Attribute Spirit Crystals he had obtained from the Black Dragon Secret Palace; he wondered what their value might be.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen naturally recalled the mountainsides of the Attribute Spirit Mountains within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, covered in Supreme Attribute Spirit Crystals.

Not to mention obtaining all of them, just if Ye Zhen managed to secure one ten-thousandth, one hundred-thousandth, or even less, it might probably suffice to meet his needs.

However, he shouldn’t hope for entering the Black Dragon Secret Palace again.

If after five years Ye Zhen’s cultivation hadn’t broken through to the Soul Sea Realm, then he might still participate once again in the Black Dragon Ranking contest, but the Black Dragon Secret Palace would be impossible.

The Black Dragon Secret Palace opened at intervals of at least a hundred years or even longer.

"Hm? Purple Spirit Jade?"

As Ye Zhen was browsing through various treasures on the Stars Plate, his gaze suddenly fixed, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

The elusive Purple Spirit Jade, not even found in the Jade Gathering Family’s Jade Water Lake, surprisingly appeared in the sales catalog of the Stars Tower.

Purple Spirit Jade was an essential resource for Ye Zhen to continue his cultivation of the Shattered Jade Scripture.

If Ye Zhen wanted to advance his current Red Jade Spiritual Power into more potent Purple Jade Spiritual Power, a large amount of Purple Spirit Jade was indispensable.

According to the Shattered Jade Scripture, to transform the Red Jade Spiritual Power Seed into a Purple Jade Spiritual Power Seed, a minimum of one thousand pieces of Purple Spirit Jade was required.

Ye Zhen’s divine sense entered the detailed information of the Purple Spirit Jade without hesitation.

Ten thousand star points!

Each one!

This price once again took his breath away.

Such pricing was indeed exorbitant.

In the realm of Spirit Jade, the value of Green Spirit Jade was comparable to that of a Low Grade Spirit Crystal, and the market price was basically a one-to-one ratio.

The energy contained within Red Spirit Jade was similar to that of a Mid-grade Spirit Crystal, although slightly less. However, due to the uniqueness of the energy within Red Spirit Jade, the exchange rate between Red Spirit Jade and Mid-grade Spirit Crystals had reached ten to twelve or even thirteen.

Ten pieces of Red Spirit Jade could generally be exchanged for twelve or thirteen Mid-grade Spirit Crystals.

The energy contained within Purple Spirit Jade was similar to that found in High Grade Spirit Crystals, and its value was also referenced to that of High Grade Spirit Crystals.

However, Purple Spirit Jade was extremely scarce; occasionally appearing within a Spirit Jade mine, maybe only a hundred or eighty pieces would be found.

Under such circumstances, in the Black Dragon Domain, the exchange rate between Purple Spirit Jade and High Grade Spirit Crystals reached one to two or even one to three.

And a single High Grade Spirit Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals; thus calculating further, the market price of Purple Spirit Pills in the Black Dragon Domain would be about twenty thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals.

But within Stars Tower, the selling price of Purple Spirit Jade was as high as one hundred thousand stars points per piece, equivalent to one hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals for one piece.

That was five times the market price.

Definitely exorbitant!

However, even if it was exorbitant, Ye Zhen had already decided to endure this gouging.

But not now.

With Ye Zhen’s current assets, he could only buy six or seven Purple Spirit Pills, which wouldn’t be of much use.

Ye Zhen suddenly realized that he was very poor!

Especially after seeing the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pills and Purple Spirit Jade one after another, he felt incredibly impoverished.

After putting the Ten Thousand Stars Plate back into the storage ring, Ye Zhen realized that in his eyes, there were only two words left—Spirit Crystals!

As long as he had enough Spirit Crystals, Ye Zhen’s combat power would skyrocket, and he could even gain an additional innate bloodline.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen felt somewhat confused.

Dazzled by the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pills and Purple Spirit Pills beckoning him from ahead.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen’s willpower was extremely strong. He sat cross-legged right there and after a long time, he managed to regain his usual mindset.

In fact, all of these were cultivation resources.

It’s just that they were urgently needed by Ye Zhen.

Everyone, including Guo Qijing, the Sect Leader of Qiyun Sect, Yu Ruhai, Fuh Dongxing, and others, faced the same problem as Ye Zhen.

Scarcity of cultivation resources.

Time is also a type of cultivation resource.

Of course, all of this isn’t something you can achieve just by thinking about it, except for time.

"Whether it’s Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pills or Purple Spirit Pills, they will be the goals of my struggle! However, for now, I still need to follow my own path.

Advancing my cultivation, practicing the Black Dragon Tyrant of Heaven Style, unraveling the secrets of the second black innate bloodline...."

Suddenly, Ye Zhen remembered a phrase once said by Guo Qijing, the Qiyun Sect Leader:

When your cultivation reaches a new height, you will find that those past matters are trivial!

.....

Six days later, a blinding brilliance suddenly rose from within Star Luo City.

The General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat of Stars Tower was like a sun, blinding everyone in Star Luo City.

In almost a breath’s time, the speed of the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat soared to the extreme, trailing a dazzling tail of light in the void and vanishing into the distant sky dome in an instant.

Only after the General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat had disappeared did the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses who had been inconspicuously gathering intelligence outside Star Luo City rush upwards in a fluster, and then exchanged glances in disbelief!

The elders of Sword Origin Sect, Zhii Sheng, Kong Shan, and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King from the Phantom Divine Sect, were utterly depressed.

Damn, they weren’t given any chance at all.

They couldn’t even grasp the future direction in which Ye Zhen might head.

No way, the Celestial Spirit Boat was urged on to an extreme speed of twelve thousand miles per hour, which was too fast.

Meanwhile, the smile on Ye Zhen’s face as he stood by the ship was somewhat radiant and full of scorn as well.

"These guys are really shameless, enduring so much. Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, acting as spies around Star Luo City for a month or two!"

"So they ended up eating dust, didn’t they?" Du Xinglei, who was accompanying him, chuckled.

"Actually, Ye Zhen, you’ll gradually find that these things aren’t really that shameless...." Hai Luoshuang’s expression was somewhat distant!

Before long, several Talisman Communications flew out from outside Star Luo City, heading in all directions.

The messages within the Talisman Communications were all similar: Stars Tower was deploying a General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat to escort Ye Zhen, with virtually no possibility of ambushing him!

....

Almost at the moment when Hai Luoshuang, the Stars Tower Master, was having Ye Zhen sent away with the Celestial Spirit Boat, deep within a valley in the Eastern Mountains of the Phantom Divine Empire, an old voice suddenly echoed above the valley,

"Huaa Zhu, has Wushuang Sun returned?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it and give monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
