Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: A New Way to Acquire Energy_1

By now, Peter Brown had clarified his combat strength, which was sufficient to engage in battle with a Demon General.

Although it was somewhat lower, Peter was still satisfied with this result. After all, he had managed to elevate himself to such a height in such a short period of time, which was quite an achievement.

After leaving the assessment room, Peter headed towards the Trading Market.

Arriving at the market, Peter found it to be bustling with activity. There were Demon Clan members of various appearances, and when he looked at the items laid out on the ground, Peter was pleasantly surprised to find many types of immortal grass that he needed.

Upon examining some of the materials, Peter was equally surprised. These materials would be hot commodities in the Immortal Realm, but here they were strewn about carelessly, which indicated a lack of refining knowledge in this area.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need assistance?" At that moment, a Demon Beast that somewhat resembled a black gorilla approached Peter from behind and asked.

"Who are you?"

"I, Jackson Blackwood, know all about this market. For just ten Immortal Stones, I can be your guide."

So it was a member of the Demon Clan. Peter nodded slightly and said, "Agreed!"

Jackson Blackwood, hearing Peter’s agreement, let out a hearty laugh and said, "Rest assured, I know everything, even much about the Human Clan’s affairs."

No wonder this gorilla asked for Immortal Stones; he had recognized that Peter was from the Human Clan.

"What is the exchange rate between Immortal Stones and Demon Cores here?" Peter inquired.

"Officially it’s one to one. That’s the standard here, but the black market offers a higher rate, around one to one point two," he explained.

Peter slightly nodded and said, "Why are there so many refining materials here, with nobody collecting them to refine artifacts?"

"The Demon Clan is weak in the field of artifact refining, and they have an innate fear of fire, which naturally leads to fewer of our clan studying this field. If you are skilled in artifact refining, the materials here are indeed very cheap."

Only then did Peter realize that the Demon Clan really feared fire; no wonder the materials were so undervalued here.

"I suppose there aren’t many who practice alchemy either?"

"The same principle applies, there aren’t many studying Alchemy. We do have a lot of immortal grass in our territory, and Human Clan strong persons often lead their armies here to plunder it."

"The Demon Cores you mentioned must be the lowest level, right?"

"Yes, the cores of Infant Demons and first-level Demon Lords have a one to one exchange rate with Immortal Stones. For each level higher, the rate multiplies by ten."

Now truly curious, Peter followed Jackson Blackwood to an Exchange Point where he exchanged ten Demon Cores and ten Devil Crystals.

Looking at these beautiful objects, Peter’s curiosity about the energy they contained increased.

Holding a Demon Core in his hand, Peter immediately began to absorb its energy using the Swallow method.

As he absorbed the energy, a look of pleasant surprise crossed Peter’s face.

Jackson Blackwood, seeing Peter absorb the energy of a Demon Core, laughed and said, "Don’t worry, the energy in Demon Cores is no weaker than that in Immortal Stones. In fact, since Demon Cores are the result of the Demon Clan’s years of cultivation, they are easier to absorb, and their energy merges more fully. Compared to Immortal Stones, the higher the level of the Demon Core, the better it is."

Peter then grabbed a Devil Crystal and began to absorb it as well.

This time, Peter was pleasantly surprised to find that the Devil Crystal directly provided Divine Sense Energy, which could be transformed into Divine Sense energy and was also directly absorbable.

"Devil Crystals can replenish and strengthen Divine Sense Energy, however, fellow Daoist, you should be cautious. Many members of the Demon Clan seek to possess others to be reborn, so they often feign death and hide their Divine Sense within the Devil Crystals. When you absorb the energy of the Devil Crystal, they may take the opportunity to enter your Brain Domain. Without protection, they can possess you at any time," he warned.

There’s such a thing?

Peter Brown also became cautious.

Peter Brown took out an Immortal Staff and asked, "How much is this Immortal Artifact worth?"

Jackson Blackwood’s eyes turned red with excitement as he said, "This is no ordinary item. If it were taken to an auction firm, it would be worth at least fifty Demon General’s Demon Cores."

This thing is worth fifty Demon General Cores?

Peter really hadn’t expected that the Immortal Artifact he obtained from killing someone would be so valuable.

"Sixty Demon General cores, I’ll buy it."

At that moment, a person who seemed to be a Demon General looked towards the Immortal Artifact in Peter’s hand.

After thinking for a bit, Peter nodded and said, "Okay."

A smile spread across the face of the Demon General as he asked, "Do you want to swipe a card or do you want the cores directly?"

"I’ll take the cores directly."

Peter was in need of a large number of Demon Cores to improve his strength.

The Demon General then took out sixty Demon General cores from a ring and handed them over.

Peter also handed over the Immortal Artifact to the other party.

After both obtained what they needed, the Demon General left excitedly.

Jackson Blackwood said enviously, "I didn’t expect you to get rich so quickly. Those sixty Demon General cores are quite a fortune, enough to buy lots of stuff. Many demons saw that; you’d better be careful."

When Peter swept the area with his Divine Sense, he indeed saw several lights of Divine Sense heading towards him to investigate.

Peter wasn’t worried about something happening here. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much material can these cores buy?"

"Materials aren’t expensive here. If you go to the regular material stores, it will definitely be much cheaper, and you can buy quite a lot of materials."

Guided by Jackson Blackwood, Peter arrived at a material store, and sure enough, there were many materials Peter needed. This time, Peter spent all sixty Demon General cores, filling his ring with various rare materials from the Immortal Realm.

When Peter came out, Jackson Blackwood shook his head and said, "Why did you buy so many materials? Are you an Alchemist?"

Peter just smiled and said, "There aren’t that many good things in the Immortal Realm."

"You still have to be able to take them back with you!"

After receiving twenty Immortal Stones from Peter, Jackson still left in excitement.

Watching Jackson leave, Peter found a secluded spot and used the Transformation Technique, morphing into the appearance of a Demon General.

His entire demeanor had already changed to resemble the Demon General he had traded the Immortal Staff with.

Using this identity, Peter moved between various auction firms and weapon stores, selling off the Immortal Artifacts that seemed like trash in his ring.

Looking at the thousands of Demon Marshal Level Cores and thousands of Devil Marshal Level Devil Crystals in his ring, Peter felt a bit more confident. In such a place, upgrading his cultivation was key, and now Peter had to further improve his strength.
