Procurement

Although theft and robbery are common in Rain Ripple City, it is generally a stable and safe place.

"Let's go sell the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform corpses first." Emperor Qing was experienced and piloted the Black Flying Boat towards the Inner City. "Large-scale transactions of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform corpses almost all take place in the Primal Chaos Hall."

"The first floor of the Primal Chaos Hall is for trading the corpses of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms. The second floor is for exchanging Merit Points merits," Emperor Qing said.

"Merit Points?" Luo Feng looked at Emperor Qing.

"Killing Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform earns Merit Points," Emperor Qing laughed. "With enough Merit Points, you can exchange them for some unimaginable treasures. Like some of the treasures in the Infinite Space Treasure Trove, you can exchange them for Merit Points."

Luo Feng understood and asked, "How many Merit Points?"

"Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform in the God Emperor Early-Stage are the weakest level. Six corpses are equivalent to six Merit Points." Emperor Qing shook his head. "We accumulate Merit Points merits too slowly, so we usually sell the corpses along with the Merit Points."

"After all, it's impossible to determine who killed someone from a corpse. So as long as we bring a new corpse to the second floor for verification, we can lock the Merit Points into our name," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "Generally, only the hall masters and elders are willing to collect Merit Points on a large scale."

Luo Feng nodded.

As they spoke, a magnificent and colossal palace appeared before them. The palace was entirely a deep blue-green, its color profound, and an endless Sha Qi lurked within. Over countless ages, this palace had collected the corpses of countless Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform beings.

Of course, many Xing Zhe also died during the hunt.

Hunting is inherently an activity with both risks and rewards. Success brings great wealth, while failure can lead to death.

"We've arrived at the Primal Chaos Hall." Emperor Qing looked at the palace in front of him.

Soon, after putting away the Black Flying Boat, Emperor Qing led Luo Feng to the main entrance on the first floor of the Primal Chaos Hall.

The first floor of the Primal Chaos Hall is quite vast, divided into thirteen independent areas, each of which can be used for the trade of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform corpses.

"These thirteen companies that buy the corpses of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms offer different prices," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "Go to a few more companies and ask about their prices. Sell to whoever offers the highest price."

"Brother Emperor Qing," a plump old man greeted him warmly, "Went hunting again? Looks like you had quite a haul."

"They're just risking their lives." Emperor Qing smiled as he walked over.

"You come from the Source World, you have clones! You're much stronger than us." The chubby old man laughed. Although he was stronger and could purchase life-saving items, he rarely went hunting anymore.

The frequency with which powerful beings from billions of worlds go hunting is generally much lower than that of powerful beings from the Source World.

"We hunted down six Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform this time. Take a look and see what price you can offer for each one." Emperor Qing led Luo Feng to sit down, where the servants had already prepared delicious food and wine.

"And who is this?" The chubby old man looked at Luo Feng.

"This is my brother Luo Feng," Emperor Qing said.

"I am Bu You, and I am in charge of shop number three on the first floor of the Primal Chaos Hall," the chubby old man said warmly. "I hope Brother Luo Feng will patronize your business in the future."

Although he was in charge of this shop, he was not the owner. After all, there were only thirteen shops on the first floor of the Primal Chaos Hall, and the weaker elders were not qualified to interfere.

Luo Feng nodded. "Okay."

After some negotiation, the two parties agreed on a price.

"I'll go ask around at a few other places." After finishing the conversation, Emperor Qing stood up.

After asking the three families he was most familiar with, Emperor Qing finally sold the Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform corpses to these three families respectively.

The corpses themselves sold for a total of 6.08 million Primal Chaos Crystal, and the six Merit Points also sold for 600,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. The total was 6.68 million Primal Chaos Crystal.

"There aren't many people here to sell the corpses of Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms." Luo Feng observed the transaction process and also noticed that no other Xing Zhe had come to sell their spoils during this time.

"The entire Rain Ripple City has at most a few hundred thousand hunting teams, and they usually only hunt once every few hundred epochs or even longer. How many points of trade does the Primal Chaos Hall have in one epoch?" Emperor Qing laughed from the side.

Luo Feng nodded slightly after making a calculation.

"We divided the spoils."

"You made a great contribution by covering the rear this time. I'll give you 500,000 Primal Chaos Crystal from the total spoils. The rest will be split between you and me." Emperor Qing distributed the spoils right there in the Primal Chaos Hall. "You get 3,590,000 Primal Chaos Crystal, and I'll get 3,090,000 Primal Chaos Crystal."

"I owe you 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal, and I can pay you back today," Luo Feng said.

Emperor Qing nodded, and with a flick of his hand, he took out an object—a dazzling polyhedron shimmering with many strange colors. "Brother Luo Feng, how about I sell you this treasure for 90,000 Primal Chaos Crystal?"

"The Illusory World Maze?" Luo Feng recognized it at a glance.

This is a storage treasure in Rain Ripple City with a uniform price of 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. It is a treasure that can be carried with you and stored. There are very few people in the entire Nine Rivers Holy World who can steal it. Almost every God Emperor has one.

Luo Feng was poor before and unwilling to buy.

But if you have over three million Primal Chaos Crystal on your first hunt, you'll be devastated if they get stolen.

"Buy, buy, buy! Of course I'm willing to buy!" Luo Feng laughed. "Brother Emperor Qing, where did you get the extra 'Illusory World Maze' treasure?"

"Being vulnerable to robbery and assassination while out in the world naturally leads to counter-robbery and assassination, which is how you end up acquiring a few 'Illusory World Maze'," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "Those shops all charge 100,000 Primal Chaos Crystal. But if I sell them to them, they are only willing to buy them for 80,000 Primal Chaos Crystal."

Luo Feng understood.

"I knew you'd definitely need to buy things after this hunt, so I prepared some in advance," Emperor Qing said. "Alright, let's part ways here. I'm also going out to do some serious shopping."

"Okay." Luo Feng easily refined the Illusory World Maze. This was an extremely high-level spatial treasure. In terms of skill, it was probably already at the Half Primal Chaos level. It was only because of its simple materials and single function that its price could be reduced to such a low level.

"After buying the Illusory World Maze, I still have 3.4 million Primal Chaos Crystal left." Luo Feng exuded an air of wealth and extravagance. "This time, I'm definitely going to go on a big shopping spree."

Last time, he bought almost all of the cheapest materials in Rain Ripple City, and there were many things he wanted but couldn't bring himself to buy.

"Information on all the God Emperors in the entire Rain Ripple City, 10,000 Primal Chaos Crystal per copy? I'll take one first!" This time, Luo Feng didn't hesitate and casually bought a copy of the information. This information was stored in black jade and contained a secret mantra technique.

"To read intelligence, one must first actively cast this mantra, using one's own mental power to imbue oneself with a layer of mantra?" After briefly understanding the contents, Luo Feng immediately used the black jade to actively cast the mantra.

Once the incantation was completed, the black jade dissipated, and a piece of information merged into Luo Feng's consciousness—the detailed information of numerous God Emperors in Rain Ripple City.

"The 10377th God Emperor intelligence report for Rain Ripple City. The current number of God Emperors in Rain Ripple City is approximately 3.47 million. We have collected intelligence on 3,397,320 God Emperors."

"The First God Emperor of Rain Ripple City: Hall Master Wei Yang. Half Primal Chaos Realm Enlightenment Seeker, a powerful figure in the Source World, and suspected to be the strongest existence in Rain Ripple City. He has displayed his powerful physical body, using its might to kill Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform at the ' God Emperor Completion-Level in a one-on-one battle. He has also displayed terrifying formations, using them to surround and kill an entire group of low- Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform forms, with very few managing to escape..."

The intelligence report also included some scenes of Hall Master Wei Yang taking the initiative, and also contained some speculations about the detailed battle scenes.

"It's confirmed that nearly a hundred elders in Rain Ripple City have completely sided with Hall Master Wei Yang. They have formed the largest force in Rain Ripple City, controlling half of all trade within the city. The three forces that have long been stealing and plundering in the city —'Insect Nest,' 'Myriad Shadow Pavilion,' and 'Strange Workshop' —have all pledged allegiance to Hall Master Wei Yang..."

Luo Feng looked at it carefully.

The three groups that dared to steal and plunder within the city were actually backed by Hall Master Wei Yang and nearly a hundred elders? They also controlled half of the city's trade? Truly terrifying.

"The Second God Emperor of Yulan City: Lord Yuanxiang. A half-primordial level Dao comprehender, a powerful being from the Origin World. The founder of Yulan City! He made immense contributions to Yulan City! During the city's construction, he led many elders in numerous battles against lower-level primordial life forms, and in terms of explosive power, he was even stronger than Lord Weiyang. However, his physical body is relatively ordinary, and he is always injured... As a powerful being from the Origin World, he has multiple clones, but each clone is injured. They are suspected of being corrupted by higher-level primordial life forms."

The intelligence report includes multiple scenes of the Hall Master Yuan Xiang taking action.

The Hall Master Yuan Xiang has a relatively weak physical body, so he always attacks from a distance, and his power is devastating.

Just by looking at him, you could feel his weakness; his life force seemed to be struggling to stay afloat.

"He is the City Builder?" At this moment, Luo Feng also felt some respect for this Hall Master Yuan Xiang.

Building a city in the Nine Rivers Holy World is extremely difficult.

Hall Master Yuan Xiang was the City Builder and made great contributions, with nearly a hundred elders on his side. However, because Hall Master Yuan Xiang himself was weak and rarely took action, the force he led was relatively inferior.

"The Third God Emperor of Rain Ripple City: God Emperor Gai Tao".

"The God Emperor Gai Tao is Half Primal Chaos level Enlightenment Seeker and a powerful figure in the Source World. In the entire Nine Rivers Holy World, he ranks among the top three in terms of weapon crafting! He disdains fighting and instead leads only about thirty elders who are interested in weapon crafting to focus on weapon crafting together."

"The various Weapon Secret Treasure he crafted are sold in many cities of the Nine Rivers Holy World."

"With the power of his Weapon Secret Treasure, God Emperor Gai Tao's strength is unfathomable, perhaps no less than that of Hall Master Wei Yang. However, he has made too few moves to accurately assess his strength."

The three battle scenes included in the intelligence report all involved very casual attacks.

It released a huge spherical abyss, which directly swallowed a Primal Chaos Lifeform at the God Emperor Completion-Level.

With a single outstretched hand, his enormous palm crushed an elder who dared to offend him to death. He was brutally killed, and the other two palace masters said nothing. Although that elder was a powerful figure from the Source World and possessed an avatar, he never returned to Rain Ripple City after that.

On another occasion, in a fit of rage, he killed a disciple who followed him and swallowed the disciple whole. This suggests that his physical body was also like a secret treasure.

Information on 3,397,320 God Emperors.

There are three people Enlightenment Seeker at the Half Primal Chaos level.

There are 723 people God Emperor Late-Stage Enlightenment Seeker or are at the same level of strength.

There are 52,092 people Enlightenment Seeker at the God Emperor Mid-Stage or at the same level of strength.

The rest were all at the God Emperor Early-Stage Enlightenment Seeker, at the level of enlightenment.

Rain Ripple City does not recognize someone like Emperor Lord Ming, who barely reached the God Emperor level through bloodline power. 'God Emperor Early-Stage level Enlightenment Seeker' is the minimum threshold they consider for a God Emperor.

"We have also discovered 53,321 individuals who are suspected to be God Emperor Early-Stage Enlightenment Seeker."

The information about the Enlightenment Seeker in the God Emperor Early-Stage is much more concise.

Rank 51029: Luo Feng, who recently arrived in Rain Ripple City, lives in the same cave abode Emperor Qing. He is suspected to be God Emperor Early-Stage Enlightenment Seeker and a strong person from the Source World.

That's all the information there is about Luo Feng.

"I'm actually in the intelligence report too, though I'm at the very end," Luo Feng chuckled.
