Chapter 566: Chapter 567: Dragon Egg (4th Update)

Elder Li’s gaze toward Chu Fengmian was just like looking at a nouveau riche.

Trading with King Grade Spirit Stones and Emperor Grade Spirit Stones was an extravagance to the extreme.

These King Grade Spirit Stones and Emperor Grade Spirit Stones, once taken out, would likely need to be auctioned. Using them as currency for trading was simply insane.

Only Chu Fengmian, who now possessed infinite wealth and could directly condense Spirit Stones, would make such a move.

If they could be exchanged for these King Grade Spirit Stones, Emperor Grade Spirit Stones, they would bring tremendous benefits to the Heavenly Merchants Association.

"If Young Master Chu is willing to trade with King Grade Spirit Stones, our Heavenly Merchants Association can offer the lowest price," they quickly said, fearing Chu Fengmian might not agree.

"Alright, let’s go have a look first," Chu Fengmian said calmly.

"Good, let’s go."

Elder Li nodded and led Chu Fengmian and Bai Xuan, directly traversing through space.

They soon arrived at a stone chamber.

"Oh? This stone chamber?"

Chu Fengmian looked at the stone chamber and found that it was actually built from a kind of Sky Rock Crystal, a celestial marvel.

Sky Rock Crystal was an extremely special kind of Crystal Stone, incredibly firm but hard to refine.

Among the celestial marvels, it was considered a lower-grade material, but to build a treasury from Sky Rock Crystal, the Heavenly Merchants Association was also quite extravagant.

This treasury, even at Chu Fengmian’s full strength, would likely be hard to break through.

"Young Master Chu, please follow me."

Elder Li approached the stone chamber’s gate and activated the restriction above it.

The stone chamber’s gate burst open.

Elder Li led Chu Fengmian directly inside.

Upon entering the stone chamber and looking around, there were countless shelves arranged with numerous marvelous items neatly placed upon them.

Chu Fengmian glanced over and saw several items that were on his list.

"Bring these over."

Chu Fengmian pointed to seven or eight marvelous items and spoke.

These marvels were useful for Chu Fengmian’s current cultivation of refining his body.

Chu Fengmian’s power had reached its limit, but his body was still far from it.

Chu Fengmian could feel that his imminent life-or-death tribulation was extraordinary, knowing that when he had broken through to the realm of Divine Power, it had even attracted the Tribulation of Ten Thousand Thunders.

Should he invoke the life-or-death tribulation, it might be far more terrifying than the Tribulation of Ten Thousand Thunders.

Tribulation of Life and Death, survive and seize life, but failure meant immediate death; the higher the talent, the more dangerous it became.

Chu Fengmian’s power had reached its limit, but his body had not; only by bringing his body to its limit could he possibly survive the life-or-death tribulation.

"Okay."

Without any fuss, Elder Li swept those seven or eight marvels into the air, dissolved their restrictions, and handed them to Chu Fengmian.

"The value of these items can be settled together later. Young Master Chu, if there is anything else you need, feel free to choose."

Chu Fengmian nodded, took the items, and then looked around the treasury with keen eyes.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a massive egg.

This huge egg was about five or six meters long and took up a large space in the treasury, adorned with strange patterns and emanating essence-filled Spiritual Power.

Within this Spiritual Power, there was even a faint aura of dragon might.

"What is this?"

The moment Chu Fengmian saw the egg, a glint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"This is a dragon egg, obtained by one of our Heavenly Merchants Association’s esteemed figures. However, it no longer has any life within, thus it cannot be hatched, so it’s placed here in the treasury because it still contains some Spiritual Power," Elder Li explained.

"This dragon egg, if Young Master Chu wants it, only requires ten King Grade Spirit Stones."

"Ten King Grade Spirit Stones, that price is too steep," Chu Fengmian frowned.

"After all, this dragon egg has lost its life."

Elder Li tried to justify.

"Because there is Spiritual Power residue, there is not zero chance of hatching a real dragon, which, if raised as a spiritual beast, could have strength comparable to a high-level warrior in the Tribulation of Life and Death."

"The idea that an egg devoid of life could hatch, how could that be possible," Chu Fengmian said, shaking his head at Elder Li.

"Three King Grade Spirit Stones at most. I cultivate dragon clan martial arts and can try to understand the true essence of dragons from this egg. If it’s any more expensive, the loss would outweigh the gain."

"A dragon egg without life has no other use."

"Three King Grade Spirit Stones..."

Elder Li’s gaze flickered as if weighing his options, and then he said, "If Young Master Chu is paying with King Grade Spirit Stones, alright."

"Deal."

Chu Fengmian didn’t beat around the bush and immediately put the dragon egg into his spatial ring.

He then lost interest in looking at other marvels, turned around, and left the stone chamber.

"These items together amount to fifty-two King Grade Spirit Stones, but Young Master Chu only needs to pay fifty King Grade Spirit Stones," Elder Li excitedly said.

Fifty King Grade Spirit Stones, if converted to ordinary lower-grade Spirit Stones, amounted to a full five hundred thousand, certainly a big deal.

Their Heavenly Merchants Association did not make such large deals every day; indeed, they might not see such a transaction for several years.

This deal benefited Elder Li greatly.

"Okay."

Chu Fengmian replied without a hint of emotion, taking out a large King Grade Spirit Stone from his hand.

This one piece of King Grade Spirit Stone was just right to be cut into about fifty pieces, which he then handed over to Elder Li.

Elder Li carefully received the King Grade Spirit Stone and placed it into his spatial ring, finally feeling relieved.

"If there are items on the list you need, let me know. Price is no problem," Chu Fengmian told Elder Li.

His wealth was now boundless, able to exchange for countless marvels to enhance his strength.

Having wealth without strength was meaningless. To survive the life-or-death tribulation, Chu Fengmian needed to bring his strength to its pinnacle.

"Young Master Chu’s desired marvels are all highly valuable. Our Heavenly Merchants Association, after accumulating for thousands of years, only has those. But if Young Master Chu doesn’t mind the price, there is going to be a huge auction tonight," Elder Li said.

"This auction will feature many marvels recently unearthed from the six ancient cave dwellings. The prices will be extremely high, but with Young Master Chu’s wealth, naturally it won’t be a concern, and you could try your luck."
