“Now?” Yun Che was startled. He had never thought that the Sea Queen was a woman, and he had never thought that she would be so decisive in matters concerning the forbidden land.
"In three days, it will be the Demon Sword Conference. The Emperor will be very busy these days preparing for the mysterious formation used in the Demon Sword Conference and may not have time to take care of other things. If this matter is settled early, the Emperor can avoid being distracted. Do you have any doubts?" The Sea Emperor said with a stiff face.
Yun Che thought quickly, then nodded heavily: “Okay! Now then!”
“Very good!” The Sea Emperor nodded, then looked to the side and said, “Zi Ji, you will personally take Yun Che to the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave! Let’s go now!”
"Hehe." A peaceful laugh sounded. A door on the left side of the Sea Emperor Palace was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a purple robe and with an elegant face walked out slowly with a smile on his face: "Yun Che, it's only been a few months since we last met, and your profound strength has really improved a lot. This growth rate is truly amazing."
“Senior Zi is indeed from the Supreme Ocean Palace.” Yun Che also replied with a smile, not at all surprised by Zi Ji’s sudden appearance.
Zi Ji nodded slightly: "With your intelligence and understanding, you really already knew it. Fortunately, the Sea King agreed to the Moon Slaughter Demon Cave, and I, Zi Ji, am fortunate enough to repay your favor of ten medicinal pills. In addition, the task you entrusted me with last time we met has been completed, and I will definitely not let you down."
After Zi Ji finished speaking, he spread his palms, a mysterious light flashed, and two pitch-black wooden boxes were already in his hands. Although he didn't know what was in the wooden boxes, the heavy smell in the air proved that these two wooden boxes alone were definitely extraordinary.
“Could it be two Xuandan?” Yun Che’s eyes focused, and he immediately asked, “Then I wonder if it’s the Xuandan of Tyrant Profound Beast or the Xuandan of Sovereign Profound Beast?”
"You'll know once you find out." Zi Ji said with a faint smile.
Yun Che took a step forward and took the wooden box from Zi Ji's hand. He did not open it, but directly poured two streams of profound energy into it. Suddenly, his profound energy touched two extremely dense auras, which were at a level as high as the Sovereign Profound Realm.
They were actually two Xuandan of the Junxuan beast.
Great… Yun Che muttered to himself, and then put away the two wooden boxes: “Senior Zi is indeed very powerful. According to the original agreement, these are two precious pills.”
Yun Che flicked his finger and pushed two Overlord Pills to Zi Ji. Zi Ji took them and put them away very carefully, with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Junxuan Beasts are extremely difficult to find, and even more difficult to hunt. For these two Junxuan Beasts, our Ocean Palace has put a lot of thought into it. But it is worth it to get two peerless pills."
The Sea Emperor glanced at Zi Ji and said, “Yun Che, although the rumors about your master ‘Old Man Duo Tian’ came from the Sun Moon Divine Hall, and the Sun Moon Divine Hall’s actions also revealed a strong fear, this emperor still only believed it 20% and doubted it 80%. However, this peerless precious pill that even my Ocean Palace could not refine with all its efforts, but your master can refine dozens of them with just a wave of his hand. With such a great ability, this emperor has to believe it.”
“But don’t worry. Zi Ji only told me about this precious pill. No one else in the world knows about it except us three.” The Sea Emperor had a blank expression on his face, his eyes as cold as a pool of ice.
“I naturally have no doubts about what Senior Sea Emperor said,” Yun Che replied.
"Zi Ji also mentioned that you commissioned the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce to auction twenty precious pills for you a few months ago, and promised that after these twenty pills, you would not sell any more to the Four Holy Lands. Is that true?"
“Of course.” Yun Che nodded decisively: “No matter how precious something is, it will become worthless if it appears too often. If I were not in urgent need of a large amount of Purple Veined Divine Crystal during this period, I would not have sold it to others.”
“That couldn’t be better.” The Sea Queen nodded solemnly. She knew very well that once the twenty Overlord Pills from Yun Che were made public, it would cause a huge sensation, and the other three holy places would also take them at all costs. The most likely outcome would be that the four holy places would share the twenty pills equally, and as for the holy places outside, forget it.
In this way, his Sea Palace also has five on the surface, but in fact there are a full seventeen! The price paid is only twenty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal and Yun Che entering the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave once. These twelve extra Overlord Pills will not have a significant effect in the short term, but in another generation, the top-level strength will definitely be far superior to the current generation, and it is even possible to suppress the Royal Extreme Holy Land!
“This Demon Sword Conference has attracted many heroes from all over the world to gather together, which is a perfect opportunity for an auction. After the Demon Sword Conference, this emperor will let Zi Ji arrange this matter.” The Sea Emperor raised her long sleeves and flipped her palm. A gem that flashed with faint blue light floated in her palm, and then she gently pushed it to Zi Ji: “This is the Sea Emperor Seal of my Supreme Ocean Palace. It is the symbol of my Ocean Palace’s emperor, and it is also the only thing that can open the prohibition of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave. Zi Ji, you take it, and take Yun Che to the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave now. After the matter is done, come back as soon as possible!”
Zi Ji didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and grasped the Poseidon Seal in his hand.
Yun Che’s expression remained the same, but he had been secretly observing the expressions of the Sea Emperor and Zi Ji… As the Emperor of the Sea Palace, the highly respected Great Elder Mo Chenfeng was extremely respectful of her, but Zi Ji’s state in front of the Sea Emperor was almost the same as when he talked to him face to face, without any fear at all. When the Sea Emperor ordered Zi Ji, the majesty in his tone was far weaker than when he ordered Mo Chenfeng… and it was completely subconsciously restrained.
The relationship between Ziji and Haihuang...seems unusual.
Yun Che’s mind raced, his brows twitched, and he quickly spoke: “Senior Haihuang, Senior Zi, regarding this auction of precious pills, I have a new deal, perhaps you will be very interested.”
"Oh?" Hai Huang's eyes squinted. Zi Ji, however, was full of anticipation, and asked with a smile: "What deal?"
Yun Che said slowly, “Back then at the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Senior Zi said that one treasure pill could be sold for at least two kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals. And then Senior Zi didn’t hesitate to take out twenty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals at once, and mentioned the taboo of ‘Moon Slaughter Devil Cave’, in order to buy ten pills from me. Obviously, in Senior Zi’s opinion, selling one treasure pill for two kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals is still an extremely conservative estimate. When the real auction is held, it will be much more than that.”
"Hehe." Zi Ji laughed lightly and listened to him continue. Although he had a very high status in the Supreme Sea Palace of the Xuanjie Holy Land, compared to the Xuanzhe, he was always willing to call himself a businessman. And a businessman would certainly not easily reveal the "bottom price" in his heart. After knowing the medicinal properties of the Overlord Pill, he was extremely sure that its value was not just two kilograms of purple vein divine crystal... Especially at the level of the Holy Land, it was far more than that.
Because the Holy Land has never lacked resources that can build up its strength, and elixirs like the Overlord Pill that can forcibly break through high-level bottlenecks are what the Holy Land dreams of.
Yun Che grabbed the Sky Poison Pearl and directly took out twenty Overlord Pills. A thick, rich, and violent medicinal aura filled the entire Sea Emperor Palace in an instant, causing the atmosphere in the Sea Emperor Palace, which was shrouded in an extremely powerful profound formation, to change drastically.
Zi Ji and Hai Huang's eyes fell on the twenty Overlord Pills at the same time... Even Hai Huang, faced with the medicinal energy that was considered earth-shattering in his cognition, could not help but be moved.
"I was going to give these twenty precious pills to Senior Zi for auction. But now, I have changed my mind."
"Oh? Are you planning to give up the auction?" Zi Ji asked.
“No! I’m just changing the method.” Yun Che turned his wrist but did not take back the twenty Overlord Pills. He said seriously, “Before I go to the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, I want to sell these twenty Overlord Pills directly to your Supreme Ocean Palace at the price of forty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals. After that, all the proceeds from the auction of these twenty precious pills will belong to you and have nothing to do with me!”
"..."The eyebrows of Haihuang and Ziji moved noticeably.
"Why is that?" Zi Ji asked calmly, "These twenty precious pills sold to the Four Sacred Grounds are definitely worth more than forty kilograms of Purple Vein Divine Crystal. I can tell you frankly that the price of two kilograms per pill is just the most conservative estimate. With its ability to break through the bottleneck of the Overlord, even if it is priced at three kilograms per pill, the Four Sacred Grounds will definitely fight for it with all their might."
“I know.” Yun Che smiled faintly and said, “Otherwise, with Senior Zi’s mentality like a thousand-year-old dead tree, he wouldn’t have been so eager to buy ten.”
Zi Ji: “…”
“I’m not a greedy person.” Yun Che continued, “The price of two kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal for one has already exceeded my initial expectations. Although the proceeds from the auction of these twenty precious pills will be more than forty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal, this amount is enough to meet my needs, and the extra part is not of much significance. For me, it is much more reassuring to be able to get it earlier.”
Zi Ji was silent for a moment, then he said, "In three days, it will be the Devil Sword Conference. After the Devil Sword Conference ends, before the heroes of the world leave, I will personally hold an auction ceremony in this Ocean Palace. It will only be four or five days later. By then, the price will be at least more than fifty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal! You would rather get less than ten kilograms, or even dozens of kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal just to get the Divine Crystal a few days earlier!?"
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded: “Of course, this is just my personal wish. If Sea King and Senior Zi don’t want to, I won’t force them.”
Zi Ji and Hai Huang looked at each other and said with a smile, "How can our Hai Palace not accept such a great gift? If you really want to do this... Hai Huang, it seems that it is necessary to use that part of the divine crystal."
“It is indeed necessary.” The Sea Queen also nodded slightly. Her eyes swept across Yun Che’s eyes and she slowly said, “The Purple Veined Divine Crystal is the most precious and rare treasure in the Profound Sky Continent! It is extremely difficult to take out forty kilograms at once.”
“Oh?” Yun Che glanced sideways. “The resources of the Four Sacred Grounds must be far richer than most people imagine. Moreover, Ocean Palace also has the support of the Black Moon Merchant Guild. Forty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals may be an astronomical figure for other forces, but for your Supreme Ocean Palace, it shouldn’t be too difficult, right?”
“It seems that you don’t have a very clear concept of the rarity of the Purple Veined Divine Crystal.” The Sea Emperor glanced at him calmly and said, “In terms of the abundance of resources, my Supreme Ocean Palace is the most abundant among the four holy places. Do you know how many Divine Crystals my Ocean Palace allocates to the most talented disciples every five years?”
Yun Che: “…”
The Sea King slowly stretched out a finger and said, "It's one or two taels! Moreover, this amount can only be obtained by those with the highest talent and status, including this king!"
“That is to say, even if you are my son, you can only get one kilogram of Purple Veined Divine Crystal in fifty years! The Royal Holy Land, Sun Moon Palace, and Heavenly Mighty Sword Domain will only have less than this amount! As for other Tianxuan forces, it is a lifetime blessing to get a Divine Crystal the size of a grain of sand! And you are willing to give up such a large amount of Divine Crystal just for a few more days of ‘peace of mind’. This kind of ‘open-mindedness’ is really eye-opening!”
Yun Che’s expression remained unchanged: “I, of course, know how precious the Purple Veined Divine Crystal is. Since your Ocean Palace is no longer able to produce 40 kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal at once, then just pretend that I never mentioned this matter. Senior Zi, please take me to the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave.”
Yun Che's face was full of calmness, as if it didn't matter if it was a few days earlier or later, or if it was a few pounds more or less.
"Forty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystal is indeed an extremely huge number, but it does not mean that our Ocean Palace cannot take it out at once."
Zi Ji said with a smile: "The twenty kilograms of divine crystals that I spent on buying ten of your precious pills last time accounted for nearly half of the divine crystals that my Ocean Palace can use. In other words, the divine crystals that my Ocean Palace can freely use now are only about twenty kilograms. But in addition to these, there is a part of divine crystals that cannot be used."
“Cannot be used? Could it be that it is used to guard against possible crises?” Yun Che thought for a moment and said.
"Haha, you are really smart." Zi Ji nodded: "My Supreme Ocean Palace has been sealing up fifty kilograms of purple veined divine crystals for a long, long time. This part of the divine crystals is used to activate the protective formation when the Ocean Palace encounters a huge crisis, so there has been a strict order for generations that it must not be used unless it is a crisis. In fact, this fifty kilograms of divine crystals have been sealed for more than eight thousand years, but they have never been used."
Because in the Profound Tian Continent, there is nothing that can put the Supreme Ocean Palace into a catastrophic crisis.
