Chapter 2048: Chapter 2046: Military Trading Market

Louis Harrison is a decent man, earnestly introducing some matters of the military to Peter Brown and also explaining the local situation to him.

"There is also a trading market in the military, if you have Cosmic Coins, you can go to that market to exchange for some items."

Louis Harrison suggested that Peter go take a look at the market.

"Although you don’t have many Cosmic Coins, your Faith Energy should be able to be exchanged for some Cosmic Coins, as Faith Energy is still a scarce resource here."

"Is it useful here?" Peter was surprised.

Louis Harrison smiled slightly and said: "You only have a cultivation of 200 Star Level, the primary reason you could suppress the flag is because you possess Faith Energy, so, for your survival, the best method is to make good use of your Faith Energy."

Initially, Peter really had no other options, the only one being Teleport using the Elixir Sea. Hearing that Faith Energy is very useful, Peter’s eyes lit up. If it indeed was so, it would be a tremendous boon for him.

"This is some of the Faith Energy I brought, here’s a jar for you."

Peter handed a jar containing ten thousand strands of Faith Energy to Louis Harrison.

Not expecting Peter to actually gift him this thing, Louis Harrison seemed hesitant, wanting to accept but feeling embarrassed.

"Comrade, please accept it. If you hadn’t taught me, I wouldn’t have known anything about this place."

"Alright, then I won’t be polite. As long as I, Louis Harrison, am alive, I will protect the Purple River Star Region for a hundred years!"

Louis Harrison made a promise.

Peter smiled and said: "Alright, it’s settled!"

After seeing off Louis Harrison, Peter sat cross-legged to reconsider his situation.

"It indeed is a dangerous place!"

After some thought, Peter realized he had to get some items from the market; otherwise, he really worried that a moment of inattention could get him killed.

Following the path described by Louis Harrison, it didn’t take long for Peter to arrive at the military’s trading market.

Only after arriving did Peter realize this place was bustling. At first glance, one couldn’t tell it was part of the military; it rather seemed like the market of some remote area.

Walking through the market, Peter was surprised that everyone enthusiastically introduced their items to him.

"Peter, your cultivation level is too low; you need some Divine Artifacts for survival. Look here, this formation can withstand a full force attack from a 5000 Star Level person. With this, your chances of surviving increase, and it only needs 100,000 strands of Faith Energy."

"Peter, one formation is not enough, it can only withstand one strike to avoid death. What if the opponent attacks twice? You would still die. Rather it’s my Elixirs that are better, everything relies on oneself. Just one Elixir can help you raise your cultivation by one Star Level, you can even upgrade to 1000 Star Level with my Elixirs. One thousand strands of Faith Energy for one Elixir. It’s cheap."

"This Divine Shield is the good stuff. Once erected, your protected area will be secure, the same ten thousand Faith Energy can get you one."

...

Listening to everyone’s introductions, Peter understood that they all knew of him, and moreover, they all knew he possessed Faith Energy, wanting to exchange it.

"Why do you want Faith Energy?" Peter asked.

People looked puzzled at Peter for a while, then one person explained: "Don’t you know? Faith Energy is actually a kind of strong defensive energy. Having Faith Energy can neutralize the erosive energy from fractures, most importantly, it prevents the consciousness of Outer Region People from possessing your body. The outer region species have a special ability to possess bodies. Faith Energy is issued in the military, but having more of it enhances the protection greatly, especially when refining Divine Artifacts with Faith Energy, the artifact’s strike power against outer region enemies is doubled. If Faith Energy is added during Elixir refining, the success rate for pill formation significantly increases, and when added to formations during the refining, it halves the attacking power of opponents."

A soldier at a stall started to introduce this to Peter.

Another stall owner said: "Your cultivation is too low, no matter how much Faith Energy, it’s useless. So, for you, the best thing might be to exchange as much Faith Energy as possible for items that can save your life."

It was apparent that no one viewed Peter optimistically; everyone shook their heads regarding his chances of survival.

Naturally, Peter was aware of their thoughts, but as he looked at the items, he still found them interesting.

Considering the Divine Pill called Foundational Building Pill, Peter calculated quietly that exchanging one thousand strands of Faith Energy for one pill, he would need to exchange eight hundred to reach the 1000 Star Level. However, it still seemed like a good deal.

Seeing Peter looking at the Elixirs, a stall owner laughed: "Comrade, don’t be fooled. After consuming one Elixir, it requires a lot of time to dissolve the medicine’s Power; where do you have the time to dissolve it? A war is coming up soon; it’s better you prepare some life-saving items."

Everyone laughed: "Right, for you, even if you raise several hundred Star Levels at once, it’s still useless. Better to focus on survival."

Peter looked at the crowd and asked: "Can this Elixir really raise Star Levels without side effects?"

The stall owner blushed a bit responding: "Actually, this Elixir only works here; it won’t work anywhere else because dissolving the Elixir’s energy requires entering the fractures, inhaling the elemental energy there, allowing the medicine’s Power to tightly integrate with the body."

Another stall owner said: "Sending Peter into those fractures is essentially sending him to death. All he can do here is absorb some diffused energy to dissolve it, thus a single Elixir would take a lot of time to dissolve."

But now, Peter, with a smile on his face, asked: "How many Foundational Building Pills do you have?"

Hearing Peter inquire, that stall owner perked up: "There are eight hundred available."

Peter said: "It doesn’t matter, since the Elixir is useful to me. I’ll exchange with Faith Energy, eight hundred pills then! But your asking price is a bit high!"

"I’ll tell you, if you really want to buy that many, then five hundred strands per pill, and for eight hundred pills, it’s 400,000 strands!"
