This year's National Day Golden Week holiday is eight days long, and Lin Caogen has one last day of vacation left. He went to Wuwei Town alone.
Purchasing the materials for cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is of paramount importance. However, it is best to keep this matter a secret from others as much as possible.
Lin Caogen killed the three wealthy Core Formation stage experts from the Demonic Sect and plundered their life's wealth. A rough estimate suggests that Lin Caogen's sellable items, plus cash, are worth several million Immortal Yuan Coins.
For ordinary people or cultivators on the Three Rings Continent, several million Immortal Yuan Coins is already a considerable fortune. This amount of money is enough to equal Du Yumei's father's entire wealth. In a slightly more remote part of the Three Rings Continent, this money would be enough to build a very large mansion, leaving a legacy for future generations.
However, for Lin Caogen, these millions of immortal coins were simply not enough to spend.
He put on a straw hat and headed straight for the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce in Wuwei Town.
Although Wuwei Town is just a small town, the buildings of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce are grand and magnificent.
Like some chain organizations on Earth, the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce has a uniform standard in terms of scale and decoration.
Lin Caogen walked through the magnificent gate and saw ten saleswomen in short skirts, high heels, and stockings on each side of the hall.
One of the beautiful sales assistants was overjoyed to see a customer coming in wearing a straw hat and a veil!
She knew her luck was on the horizon; customers who were unwilling to show their true faces were usually big customers!
She trotted over in her high heels and said, "Welcome, distinguished guest, to the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce! How can I help you?"
Lin Caogen sighed inwardly, feeling that the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce was indeed extraordinary, with high-end, sophisticated, and classy services.
Lin Caogen said in a hoarse voice, "I have some weapons, pills, cultivation techniques, and immortal arts to sell here. I can exchange them for immortal coins and then use them to buy some materials rich in the five elements. Can you do that here?"
The saleswoman said happily, "No problem, sir! Our Ziwei Chamber of Commerce guarantees your satisfaction. If some items are out of stock locally, we can get them from our headquarters in Zhongzhou. As long as you have enough money, there's nothing you can't buy!"
Lin Caogen was taken aback, not expecting the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce to be so powerful. He immediately asked tentatively, "Since they can buy anything, is it possible to buy the third-tier immortal fruit, the Fire Dragon Fruit?"
The saleswoman hurriedly explained, "My lord, you may not know this, but the Third Ring Continent is a harsh and cold land. Dragon fruit doesn't easily survive there. Generally, wild dragon fruit can only be found in fertile places like the First Ring Continent or the Central Plains. Some large families also cultivate dragon fruit themselves. If customers in the Third Ring Continent need dragon fruit, they need to place an order in advance. We report our supply needs to headquarters every three months, and it takes at least three months for headquarters to send the supplies over. Therefore, a round trip takes half a year."
Lin Caogen thought to himself, "So that's how it is! Dragon fruit isn't a rare item on the Immortal Gang Continent, but it's extremely precious on the Three Rings Continent! Fu Yunxuan from the Brahma Valley is so anxious to save her father. If she buys dragon fruit from the Ziwei Merchant Guild, she'll probably have to wait for more than half a year, and her father probably won't be able to endure that. Whether on the Immortal Gang Continent or Earth, first-tier cities are better. They have abundant resources, and employment, education, and medical care are all convenient. Smaller places aren't as stressful, but they lack various resources. Buying something is like ordering a package. If it's not produced locally, it takes a long time to transport it from other places, which is really inconvenient."
Seeing Lin Caogen in a daze, the saleswoman continued, "Great hero! My name is Gu Xun'er, you can just call me Xun'er. Our Ziwei Chamber of Commerce has the same layout throughout the entire Immortal Continent: first floor is a reception café, second floor is a cultivation technique hall, third floor is a magic arts hall, fourth floor is a weapons hall, fifth floor is a materials hall, sixth floor is a formation hall, and seventh floor is a pill hall. We can have some cat poop coffee on the first floor and rest for a while. Let me give you a brief introduction, and then I'll take you to all the floors above. Is that alright?"
Lin Caogen shook his head and said, "I'm short on time, so coffee won't be necessary! Let's go straight to the second floor! I have a question: why is your pill hall located on the seventh floor, the very top floor?"
Gu Xun'er laughed, "Doesn't the great hero know? Alchemists are the most prestigious profession on the Immortal Continent. A top-tier alchemist has the power to defy fate and seize the creation of heaven and earth! That's why the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce placed its pill hall on the seventh floor. The profession below alchemists is the array master. A top-tier array master can move mountains and fill seas, arrange feng shui, and set up protective arrays for sects. They possess unfathomable abilities. It's just a pity that no alchemist or array master has ever become an Immortal Emperor. I've heard that there were quite a few alchemist Immortal Emperors and array master Immortal Emperors in ancient times!"
Lin Caogen sighed and said, "As people grow older, the new generation surpasses the old, but I never imagined that each generation would be worse than the last!"
Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "Maybe it's because the ancient immortal emperors all became gods and took away the resources of the Immortal Gang Continent. I heard from my elders that if society is to develop, it must abide by the principle of sustainable development. If our elders excessively damage the environment and recklessly mine resources, future generations will suffer!"
Lin Caogen's eyes lit up, realizing that Gu Xun'er's casual remark was absolutely true. Perhaps there are gods in the world! So many ancient Immortal Emperors couldn't all have died fighting each other! They must have gone to the God Realm! These ancient Immortal Emperors exhausted the resources of the Immortal Continent and left, making it incredibly difficult to advance to Immortal Emperor status now.
According to the laws of conservation of energy and matter, the current situation must have been caused by the departure of these ancient Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Continent. If these ancient Immortal Emperors had all died on the Immortal Continent, their bodies would have released immeasurable immortal essence after disintegration. However, since they have all left, it is difficult to find the remains of any ancient Immortal Emperor on the Immortal Continent. The ancient Immortal Emperors who took away massive amounts of immortal essence are the root cause of the decline of the Immortal Continent.
