Chapter 338: Chapter 288: Throne brings goods (asking for monthly tickets)

Iyueluxi was born within the Oasis, and at the time of her birth, the Black Stone Alliance had already reached the level of the Great Oasis, with a population exceeding a million, and there was a Six Senses Sovereign seated in power within the Oasis.

It was her grandmother.

Her grandmother rose to prominence at the end of the world, leading the people of a fallen nation to find an oasis. Over the years, she built up the oasis, strengthening and expanding it until it became what it was today.

Her journey could be called legendary.

Today, her grandmother was over a hundred years old, an advanced age for ordinary people, but for a Six Senses Sovereign who could live up to two hundred years, it was just past the halfway point.

However, the idea that a Six Senses Sovereign could live to two hundred years was theoretical. Due to factors like their state of health, pollution erosion, old wounds, and others, the vast majority do not reach this age, with one hundred seventy or eighty being considered a long life.

Her grandmother, however, appeared even older, carrying an air of imminent decline.

Iyueluxi understood the reasons for this.

Her grandmother had fought her way out of a calamity, and throughout her journey, she had engaged in countless battles and sustained countless injuries. Moreover, she had used her Inhuman State several times, and the corrosion from pollution to her body and spirit had taken deep root. Early injuries, due to a lack of medical attention, had also left lingering issues.

More importantly, the conditions for Awakening back then were very poor, and there was little knowledge about the intricacies of Awakening. The Awakening Ceremony had been quite rudimentary.

For her to have risen to a Six Senses Sovereign under those conditions was both legendary and a miracle.

Many of the old-age contemporaries of her grandmother had either died in battle, passed away due to old age, or perished due to failed Awakening. Nowadays, not many were left.

Her grandmother often said that she had lived a fulfilling life, but Iyueluxi was unwilling to accept this.

She clenched her fists so tightly that she almost pierced her skin without noticing, her gaze fixed squarely on An Jianyou.

"Is what you’re saying true?"

"But... how can you prove it."

After all, it’s an item of value rivaling the Legendary Tier, and she didn’t recognize it.

An Jianyou, on the other side, was taken aback as well, not expecting Iyueluxi’s reaction to be so intense. She first asked Iyueluxi to wipe her mouth before falling into deep thought herself.

On the surface, she seemed to be pondering, but in reality, she was calling upon the name of her mentor in her mind.

Drip, drip, drip—

After a while,

A peculiar large bird flew in and perched in front of An Jianyou.

...

Ghastly Realm, Black Stone Oasis.

The girl with silver hair opened her eyes, filled with excitement, her hands trembling.

It took Iyueluxi a moment to compose herself, patting her cheeks to contain her emotions. She left her high tower with a mix of seriousness, tension, excitement, and a feigned calmness, and headed towards the distant, most grandiose Black Tower.

En route, she encountered a man in a formal black attire leading a group of over a dozen attendants on an outing.

He looked to be in his middle years, his brown hair neatly combed, but what caught the most attention was the prominent hook nose on his face. He walked with his hands on his back, exuding an aura of natural authority.

"It’s young Iyueluxi."

"Lord Bernigan of the tower, good day."

The man she now faced appeared to be only in his forties, but in reality, he was already in his seventies or eighties. He was the other Six Senses Sovereign of the Black Stone Alliance, second only to her grandmother, the second tower master of the Oasis.

He inquired with an air of concern.

Iyueluxi maintained a polite demeanor, greeting him with a smile.

After exchanging a few words and watching Iyueluxi’s retreating figure, the hook-nosed man turned his gaze towards the first tower, a symbol of the pinnacle of power within the Black Stone Alliance, pausing momentarily.

"Let’s go."

...

The first tower was grandiose and vast but felt excessively cold and austere.

There were few servants inside the tower, where lamps burned with a flickering, dim yellow glow.

The servants and guards all recognized Iyueluxi, the master of the seventh tower and the star of the alliance who was also the tower master’s granddaughter.

No one stopped her.

She made her way up to the higher levels of the tower, arriving at a wooden door from behind which a hoarse but kindly voice could be heard.

"My dear granddaughter, you’ve arrived."

Iyueluxi pushed open the door, and the room inside was still dimly lit, illuminated by a weak candlelight.

Under the light of the candle, a figure turned to face her.

The old woman’s body was bent and thin, her face as wrinkled as tree bark, her hair dry and white, her eyes blind in one, and the other glowing eerily red as if something alive was writhing within.

Her arms were mismatched, one thin, the other thick, with the thin one as gaunt as kindling and the thick one crossed with wrinkles and bulging veins that resembled tiny snakes winding over it, a truly ghastly sight.

This was the first tower master of the Black Stone Alliance, the strongest among them!

In recent years, this old woman’s health had gradually deteriorated, and she had rarely left her home; her entire body shrouded in the aura of twilight. It was evident to everyone that the life of this Sovereign-level powerhouse was nearing its end.

Seeing her grandmother in such a state, Iyueluxi felt no fear, but her tears were hard to hold back.

Her grandmother’s health was deteriorating day by day!

She bit her lip.

"Grandmother, this time I’ve made a new discovery on Blue Star that might help extend your life."

She spoke of the longevity fruit and presented the photo.

"Impossible!"

"My granddaughter..."

The elderly crone’s eyes bulged, her figure, though still hunched, stood tall like a giant propping up the sky, emitting an invisible aura of terror that filled the entirety of the First Tower, causing all the servants and guards within to tremble and fall to their knees.

In the old woman’s view, Blue Star was merely a new world where the birth of a Superhuman Rank was difficult enough, let alone such precious treasures capable of extending lifespan.

She had never seen nor heard of a fruit with countless spiral patterns.

It couldn’t possibly be real!

A world that had just mysteriously emerged, so utterly backward, yet dared to deceive her granddaughter.

"But, Grandmother, I have already verified it. I used the ’Judgment Coin’ and, while it’s unclear if it can extend life by as much as sixty years, it can definitely prolong life quite significantly and also improve the body’s condition and heal some hidden injuries," said An Jianyou.

The old woman paused.

The photo that was fluttering in the wind came to rest before her, the peculiar green fruit coming into view.

There was a moment of silence.

An Jianyou continued, "From past transactions, this world has proven to be quite reliable. Moreover, the price of this ’Life-extending Fruit’ isn’t high, and there’s even a small jar of Water of Life included as a gift."

"There’s just one additional small condition."

...

...

The transaction was quickly completed.

No one knew what means An Jianyou employed, but her transportation of goods was much more efficient and fast. It was evident that her status in the Black Stone Alliance was no ordinary one, far surpassing the likes of a minor elite like Matissa.

The intent was discussed last night, and the transaction took place at noon.

Goods were exchanged hand-to-hand.

The Life-extending Fruit was ultimately sold for the price of ’one Eternal Shine Stone’, with an extra gift of about ten to twenty drops of Water of Life included.

It could be said to be a quite fair price.

Seeing An Jianyou’s barely concealed excitement, Fang You believed that even if he had asked for ’two Legendary Level Materials’, the deal would still have been sealed.

However, as a believer in the ’Win-Win Doctrine’, he would not change the price once set.

Ahem, the foregoing is secondary.

The main reason was...

"If the Life-extending Fruit is as rare as it appears, and if it can only be born from a Crimson Grade ’Yiduola Tree of Life’, it’s quite normal for the Great Oasis to be unaware of it. Perhaps even the people of the Super Great Oasis have rarely seen it."

"No matter how precious the treasure, it’s worthless if no one recognizes its value."

If it hadn’t always been a pleasure to collaborate with An Jianyou, if it weren’t for the Strange Implement she possessed with unique functions, if it weren’t for her urgent need...

Without these various reasons, this deal would have been difficult to negotiate, at least not as swiftly.

Even Lady of Snakes next door seemed skeptical. No matter how pleasant her words, Fang You wouldn’t be fooled.

In the future, if he wished to market the Life-extending Fruit as an Oasis specialty, it wouldn’t do for customers to be doubtful, as that would prevent it from fetching a high price.

Therefore,

Fang You proposed a small condition.

— A Throne-level endorsement.

The Great Oasis had its own circles. If the news of a Six-Senses Throne rejuvenated in one’s twilight years spread throughout the Great Oasis, the effect would be much better than him marketing it himself.

Letting those in need come to him was the way to sell at a higher price.

"It’s a pity, the Oasis has not yet entered that circle, and our current connections are very limited. Otherwise, creating momentum behind the scenes, building up the unbelievable effects of the Life-extending Fruit, would be a hundred times more effective than having the Black Stone Alliance put on a buyer’s show."

"After all, when it comes to marketing, Blue Star has no shortage of professionals."

Compared to many worlds that were still in feudal, slave societies, or even barbaric eras before the mysterious arrival, his Blue Star was still quite strong, with many advantages.

These essences of Blue Star must be preserved and passed on.

This too is part of human heritage.

"Managing affairs among the Great Oasis must be done gradually. Perhaps the next step could be to send some envoys to the Great Oasis? No, that will be the step after next."

"Another point is to continue building Blue Star’s reputation. As long as the name is resonant and the credibility is high, in the future, even if we offer unusual and rare treasures, most customers will tend to believe rather than doubt."

"Of course, if there are treasures like notarized contracts or ceremonies for verification, that would be even better."

Fang You inspected the Yiduola Tree of Life, which was still small with only a few unripe fruits hanging on it. The previous one was grown using the drops of Life Essence and Liu Chang’s Ability, specifically induced to mature.

It had come at a considerable cost.

Hmm, compared to Legendary Level Materials, that was nothing.

This Tree of Life could be described as a Cornucopia. Once it entered a phase of growth and expansion, it would become a Great Cornucopia, a Super Cornucopia.

"Unfortunately, it seems the Black Stone Alliance doesn’t have a second Eternal Shine Stone."

"With the current stock, we can only manage to build a small defensive circle in Dong Huang."

A small defensive circle could at best greatly delay the devouring from the Ghastly Realm but wasn’t enough to resist the erosion and form a delicate balance.

However, if it could delay considerably, he would have much more time on his hands.

And now, it was time to undertake another task.
