Chapter 968 The Fire-Stabilizing Pearl, Shopping on the Heavenly Street
"How could this be?"
From the depths of a bottomless abyss, a voice, ancient and weathered, spoke with a sense of bewilderment.
Countless tree roots coiled around and formed the face of an old man, who looked puzzled.
It was Emperor Huai.
At this moment, he was looking at the restored Liejun Grassland, his heart churning.
As an ancient and powerful being who was both omnipotent and omniscient, he had not experienced such a great emotional fluctuation in a long time.
Because just now, a little guy had gotten out of his control.
The brat from Leizhou could tell that he had received the inheritance of Wu Dao, so he concluded that he would definitely ask him for two things.
He had originally planned to keep it mysterious and test him, but who knew that this kid had no intention of looking for him at all, and actually found the backup plan left by Wu Dao and obtained the cauldron.
This is incredible!
Emperor Huai pondered for a long time, but still couldn't understand how that little devil had managed to do it.
Is it really just luck?
Emperor Huai was very hurt. He felt that he had lost face and never expected to be tricked by a mere brat.
Of course, this little thing wasn't enough to anger Emperor Huai, but it did make him even more interested in Ye Kang.
"You don't need to ask me for this, but there's another matter you absolutely must ask me for," Emperor Huai thought to himself.
……
Meanwhile, Ye Kang was completely unaware that his actions had caused Emperor Huai to lose face.
He had just subdued the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl when the system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the innate spiritual treasure: the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl]
【Fire-Stabilizing Pearl: Born from the first wisp of fire at the dawn of creation, yet it possesses no fire element; on the contrary, it is the natural enemy of all fire, making one impervious to all flames】
The simple introduction greatly excited Ye Kang.
As we all know, the shorter the introduction, the stronger the product or service.
He eagerly took the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl in his right hand, while a wisp of green flame appeared on the tip of his left finger, which was the Azure Flame that had undergone several growths.
Ye Kang moved the Azure Flame closer to the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl, but the next second, the invincible Heavenly Flame began to tremble, revealing instinctive fear. It actually moved away and swam to Ye Kang's shoulder, hiding far away.
Ye Kang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect that the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl was really not an exaggeration. It can even block heavenly fire. Now, if I encounter a fire-cultivating martial artist again, I will be invincible."
Ye Kang put away the Fire-Stabilizing Pearl with great satisfaction, and then went to the Spirit Merchant Platform.
Now he has accumulated three thousand Tianjie coins, which is a considerable fortune, all of which he gained from the sales turmoil.
The large heads naturally came from Crocodile God, but some also came from other customers.
In order to reforge the Desolate Dragon Blood Cauldron, Ye Kang decided to go to the Heavenly Street to find some Heavenly-grade rare materials.
Soon, Ye Kang, concealing his identity, arrived at the most bustling central avenue of Commercial Street.
This place is bigger and longer than Zhuque Avenue, with more people and a wider variety of goods for sale; if you can imagine it, you can buy it.
Ye Kang went into several large, luxuriously decorated stores, but the result was the same. He walked out again with a black line on his face.
These large stores are naturally very powerful, and they sell all kinds of rare and precious materials. However, the starting price for Heavenly Rank treasures is more than 5,000 Heavenly Street Coins.
Previously, Ye Kang could buy a piece of Earth-grade rare materials with just a few hundred Heavenly Street Coins, but the price difference between Earth-grade and Heaven-grade materials exceeded his imagination.
This also indirectly shows that Heaven-rank rare materials are far more precious than Earth-rank materials.
These large stores contain top-tier treasures, so naturally they are more expensive.
Ye Kang couldn't afford it, but he wasn't discouraged. After all, there were many individual vendors outside, and there was room for negotiation.
Ye Kang went directly into a small alley filled with stalls. He casually walked to one of the stalls and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any Heavenly-grade rare and precious materials for sale?"
The stall owner glanced at Ye Kang and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, you've asked the wrong person. How could I possess such a treasure?"
"Really? Then what is this?"
Ye Kang smiled slightly and pointed to a corner of the stall, where an ordinary-looking stone was placed.
In fact, Ye Kang didn't ask casually; the system had already given him a hint as soon as he passed through this area.
【Ding】
[Discovery of a rare and precious treasure: Moon Goddess's Tears]
【Moon Goddess's Tears: The goddess of the moon washes her face with tears, which fall onto stones and linger there all day. After ten thousand years of nourishment, they eventually become a wondrous stone containing boundless moonlight power. It can be used to forge supreme Dao weapons, and it can be used to refine tenth-order divine pills】
This introduction completely dazzled Ye Kang, so he immediately started asking questions.
Of course, he didn't make it sound mysterious. The Heavenly Street was so vast that there was no need to be fixated on this treasure.
Upon hearing this, the stall owner looked at Ye Kang in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, you actually have such insight? I underestimated you. I apologize. Fellow Daoist, you have a keen eye. This stone is a specialty of my Great World, extremely precious, but I do not sell it to those who lack discernment."
The stall owner raised his head with a haughty air, his tone full of confidence.
Ye Kang could tell that this person was probably a powerful figure from another world, and wasn't really there to make money.
Ye Kang cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I do not recognize this treasure, but I can sense that it is no ordinary object. Placing it here like this is like a pearl being covered in dust."
“Fellow Daoist is right. It’s a pity that there are too few people with your discerning eye. Since you’ve seen it, I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. I’ll give this treasure to you for three thousand Heavenly Street Coins.”
The stall owner was very generous in asking for three thousand, but Ye Kang knew that it was really not expensive; it was practically a friend's price.
But he still frowned: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I don't have that many Heavenly Street Coins on me. I wonder if you could take out 2,500 Heavenly Street Coins and exchange them for something else?"
"Of course, as long as what you offer satisfies me."
"I don't know if you will like it, but this wine is a 'Storm Brew,' a spirit wine that I brewed."
Ye Kang then took out the all-purpose Storm Brew. Although he always said that there wasn't much stock left, there was actually quite a lot in the Black Jade Realm.
When he took it out, the stall owner was immediately taken aback: "Fengbo Brew? Is that the aphrodisiac wine that has recently gained fame?"
"Uh... Fellow Daoist, you've also heard of it?"
At this moment, the stall owner suddenly stood up: "You really have it! This item is very interesting to us in the Xuan Yang Great World... no, I am quite interested in this item. If you can bring out two hundred catties, I will agree to the exchange."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's lips curled into a smile. The Xuan Yang Great World? This guy really knows how to make things up without thinking.
Those who can come to the Heavenly Street, are they ordinary people?
This guy casually revealed his origins; anyone who believes him is a fool. It's definitely a ruse. This guy could come from any world, but he couldn't possibly come from the Xuan Yang Great World.
But Ye Kang didn't care. He said with difficulty, "Two hundred catties is really too much. This wine is in short supply, and I don't have that many on hand..."
