Chapter 2018: Chapter 2116: The Path to Wealth Creation

Although Peter Brown is an Emperor of a Divine Nation, after arriving here he realized that not even the emperors of Divine Nations were wealthy.

After tallying everything in his Ring, Peter Brown let out a wry smile; he was really short on money. Despite bringing so many items with him, after a careful calculation, he estimated that selling all his items would only amount to perhaps just over ten thousand starlight coins.

Such a small sum of money!

Thinking about the large amount of money he brought with him and that it was insufficient for doing much, Peter had an idea. For him now, the priority was to make money; only by acquiring money could he have good prospects upon arriving in the Starlight Domain.

Purchasing some items here and sending them back to Hua Kingdom or even selling them to other Divine Nations would surely turn a profit. However, what Peter was considering was sourcing items from Hua Kingdom that could also turn a profit in these places.

Returning to the market once again, this time Peter was serious about his perusal, especially focused on items that could make money.

"What are you buying this time?"

Seeing Peter’s arrival, the middle-aged vendor who had sold him items before, asked with a smiling face.

He had made some money from Peter.

"I’m mainly looking to see if anything brought from our places might be of value."

The middle-aged man laughed: "With a place like yours, what valuable things could there be? No offense, but I’ve seen plenty of people from those regions, and our place has everything they bring, even better versions. So if you’re thinking of bringing things over, it really isn’t profitable."

An old man nearby interjected: "Who says they don’t have good things? The less civilized a place is, the more abundant the faith energy. The faith energy they get there can sell for a high price."

The middle-aged man slapped his thigh: "Exactly, that stuff is valuable even in the Starlight Domain regions."

"How do you collect faith energy?" Peter was taken aback, as he didn’t expect there really was something valuable. He knew that he could Collect it in his Elixir Sea, but didn’t know how to do it externally.

"There are Faith collectors for that, it’s a kind of Divine Artifact, I sell them here. Unfortunately, even with such an object, it’s not easy to collect, as you need believers. Some temples make it easy to collect, but those places are controlled by certain powers, and ordinary people have no way to collect."

Peter inquired, "Which type of collector is it?"

The middle-aged man actually handed a Divine Artifact that looked like a wine jug to Peter, saying: "See? This is it."

Peter examined it for a while but couldn’t quite figure it out.

"The most mystical part of this thing," continued the middle-aged man, "is that it contains a Gathering Array inside. When someone generates faith, there is a mutant energy in Heaven and Earth. With this array, that mutant energy naturally enters inside. Every single instance of faith from a person is an energy, and this container can store up to ten thousand such energies."

"That mystical?"

The old man nearby said, "The Refining Damian is available everywhere. If you need one, I have a Divine Arts here for Refining."

There’s even a Refining Divine Arts!

Peter asked, "How much?"

With a slight smile, the old man replied, "No matter what Divine Arts it is, it’s still a form of Alchemy. A million medium-grade Divine Stones, and it’s yours."

Peter Brown knew he could afford it and handed over the Divine Stones.

The elder just mentioned it in passing and didn’t expect Peter to actually have so many Divine Stones; he looked him up and down greedily.

Peter was also startled inwardly, realizing he had shown his wealth, which was not a good thing.

Nevertheless, Peter wasn’t genuinely worried. The old man was only at the Twelve-Star Level, and even without using Heaven-Exploding Thunder, Peter could easily wipe him out.

"If you want other items, you can trade your Divine Stones or materials in exchange," the old man’s eyes gleamed at the prospect.

Peter thought that his Divine Stones were not that useful, so why not exchange them for materials to Refine Divine Artifacts and sell them? With this thought, Peter exchanged for quite a few materials.

This time both vendors were happy, gaining substantially from Peter.

After the exchange, Peter, too, was pleased. With these materials, he could certainly refine some low-end Divine Artifacts. Such artifacts were still able to fetch a good price in these areas. If brought back to Hua Kingdom, they could significantly upgrade the strength of the nation, which was truly a good affair.

Of course, Peter had another idea, to possibly expand the influence of Hua Kingdom and rally the nation’s people’s confidence. As long as he achieved these goals, the faith energy he collected would substantially increase. Then, with faith energy equating to money, he’d have some financial foundation upon his arrival at the academy.

"How is this Faith collector used?" Peter asked casually.

"Simple," the elder explained, "just place this collector on top of a temple or hide it somewhere. As long as there are faithful people at the temple, a sense of reverence will rise in their hearts. Naturally, the Faith collector will start to function and gather faith inside. Once it’s full, just go and Collect it."

"But some people’s faith is directed towards specific Divine Beings, it should go to those Divine Beings, right?"

"That’s targeted, of course, it works. But some people don’t worship Divine Beings; they have their own beliefs. Secretly placing this device near others’ beliefs can also Collect it. After all, the Faith collector can only collect ten thousand instances of faith; any excess will dissipate into Heaven and Earth. If it’s not collected, it will be wasted."

Upon hearing this, Peter immediately thought of the myriad temples he saw on his way here, considering collecting all that faith energy.

Next, he thought that his own faith energy could remain untouched, and he could use others’ faith energy for refining or making money.

The more Peter thought about it, the more he saw it as a possible source of income.

"So does everyone hide their collectors in others’ places?"

"Of course, they would," replied the elder. "However, if someone powerful discovers it, they will find and destroy the collector and possibly kill the thief. You should be careful too."

The elder naturally regarded Peter as someone aiming to steal others’ faith energy.

Peter smiled and said, "I’ll have someone bring it back to my Family; it might be useful."
