Great Mastery of the Chaotic Starlight Body

"I'll take all 260 portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold. What's the price?"

Speak frankly, Gu Jinlai.

"Alright, the retail price of Thunder Magnetic Essence is around ten million. We don't support large-scale purchases of such a precious resource, and there are no discounts for large quantities. In addition, the demand for Thunder Magnetic Essence has been quite high in the outer ring cities recently..."

The Primordial Spirit True Lord looked at Gu Jinlai and said with a smile, "So, can you accept the price of eleven million?"

"Eleven million."

Gu Jinlai had anticipated that the price of Thunder Magnetic Gold would be high outside of the Purple Thunder Chamber of Commerce and the Wind and Rain Chamber of Commerce, but he never expected it to be this high.

"Recently, there is a high demand for Leici Yuanjin in the outer ring cities, and eleven million is already considered a bargain."

The Primordial Spirit True Lord spoke slowly and deliberately.

"This is way too dark."

Zhao Yushu muttered to herself.

She knew very well the price of magnetic gold.

Depending on the different channels accessed by different chambers of commerce, the cost price is often around five to six million.

It's understandable that these chambers of commerce charge ten million per item, since not every chamber of commerce is qualified to get their hands on such top-tier resources. However, they could raise the price from ten million to eleven million...

That's a classic case of treating people differently based on their status.

Of course, they might have thought that someone was going to use Thunder Magnetic Essence to forge a sacred body recently, so they slightly raised the price of Thunder Magnetic Essence to make more money. But in this world, Yunhai City is not the only place that sells Thunder Magnetic Essence.

"Three days ago, a peak Saint from our Haifeng City comprehended his own Dao and is preparing to break through to the Void Immortal realm. If Your Excellency, the Martial King, wants to buy it, he will probably have to act quickly."

This is the True Lord of the Primordial Spirit.

"Trying to break through to the Void Immortal realm?"

Gu Jinlai was slightly taken aback.

To shake the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth with one's own Dao, and to dominate the will of Heaven and Earth with one's own will, will attract the tribulation of lightning from Heaven and Earth, which is extremely dangerous. However, if one can cultivate Cultivation Method similar to the Thunder Primordial Spirit Body, or master more lightning-based Divine Ability, one can reduce the risk of passing through the tribulation of lightning.

"Indeed, when attempting to break through to the Void Immortal realm, the Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold provides considerable assistance in overcoming the tribulation."

The Primordial Spirit True Lord smiled and said, "Some important figures who want to befriend that Saint are collecting Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold to please him and bringing gifts to his door. In addition, due to the increased demand for Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold in the outer cities, the price of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold has increased by 10%, which is normal. If this Martial King wants to buy it, he should hurry up."

"One thousand one hundred it is."

Gu Jinlai calmly said, "I want two hundred portions."

"A wise choice."

The Primordial Spirit True Lord responded with a smile, "I will go and make preparations right away."

"Senior Gu, should we compare prices from different vendors? Paying an extra million is equivalent to spending two hundred million for nothing."

Zhao Yushu whispered.

"The production of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold within the Holy Dynasty is not high. Apart from the Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold collected and nurtured in thunderstorms, most of the Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold was brought by exiles and left over from the Hai Domain back then."

Gu Jinlai, pausing for a moment. "The total amount of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold circulating in the entire Holy Dynasty is estimated to be only about five or six thousand units, with an annual increase of only a few dozen units... To be honest, I personally find it somewhat surprising that I was able to buy two hundred and sixty units of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold in one go."

Zhao Yushu understood after hearing this.

The meaning of " from Gu Jinlai" is...

Is quantity more important than price?

She thought of the Stormy Chamber of Commerce.

This is a super guild that brings together the strength of all the merchants in Fengyu City. However, even though they knew that Gu Jinlai was making great efforts to acquire Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold and spent time preparing, they still only managed to gather 190 portions. This shows how small the Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold market is.

"The mainstream in the cultivation world is to choose the more cost-effective Immortal Refined Gold when condensing the Sacred Body. There are hundreds of thousands of Immortal Refined Gold circulating in the market, and you can buy as much as you want. But Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold... it depends a lot on luck to buy two hundred portions at once."

This Gu Jinlai.

In this respect, he should really thank Jin Sixian.

Without Jin Sixian's help through the Zi Lei Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't have been able to acquire a total of 700 units of Thunder Magnetic Gold at a price of six million per unit.

"Although the quantity of Thunder Magnetic Gold is small, if we travel to each city one by one, even if we can only buy fifty or sixty portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold per city, two hundred portions would only take us to three or four cities. At your speed, Senior Gu, including the round trip, it would only take ten to fifteen days..."

As Zhao Yushu spoke, she glanced at Gu Jinlai.

To save ten or half a month of time, why spend an extra 200 million?

That's such a waste.

However, this has not been explained Gu Jinlai.

Soon, that Primordial Spirit True Lord returned.

Returning at the same time as him was a Celestial Person whose every word and action could evoke the power of heaven and earth.

"I am Yun Haoran, the vice president of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. May I ask your name, Martial King?"

The Celestial Person being smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

My surname is Gu.

Gu Jinlai, they have responded without revealing their own names.

Yun Haoran didn't insist, and opened the two boxes with a smile, "Two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold are here. Please take a look, Ancient Martial King."

From Gu Jinlai the present, they picked up these Thunder Magnetic Elements from the box and examined them one by one.

After a long while, he nodded and took out twenty-two gold and jade coins from his person.

Upon seeing the gold and jade that Gu Jinlai out, Yun Haoran's pupils shrank.

After a moment, he said, "The Ancient Martial King actually has such valuable currency. Hehe, our Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has many other good things. Would you like to take another look? We will definitely not disappoint the Ancient Martial King."

"No."

Gu Jinlai a mere gesture of invitation.

After Yun Haoran put away the twenty-two gold coins, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "The money and goods are settled. Farewell."

"Welcome back next time, Ancient Martial King."

Yun Haoran also smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Soon, Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yushu left.

After Gu Jinlai and the other person left, Yun Haoran took out the gold and jade pieces again. After a while, he confirmed. "These gold and jade pieces were withdrawn from the Holy Dynasty Bank, but... didn't the news say that the person who withdrew the gold and jade pieces was a Celestial Person and a True Lord? How did it become a Martial King and a Qi Refining?"

After pondering for a moment, he solemnly instructed the Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord: "What happened today must not be told to outsiders."

"Yes."

The Primordial Spirit True Lord responded solemnly.

"1.2 billion, 2.2 billion... a price difference of 1 billion... this Yunhai Chamber of Commerce is really too greedy."

On the way back to Xiansheng Tower, Zhao Yushu kept muttering to herself, deeply distressed that ten billion taels of silver had been wasted in the Gu Jinlai.

Gu Jinlai saying a word, they went directly to the Manifestation Pavilion and opened a courtyard with the best security.

This courtyard is not only large in area, but also includes a cultivation area in addition to the accommodation, living, and leisure areas. It is equipped with soundproof, shadow-blocking, and defensive formations. Ordinary martial masters, or even Primordial Spirit True Lord, cannot break through the walls reinforced by the formations in a single breath.

Of course, the price is also expensive, costing thousands a day, and the cost of activating the formation is calculated separately.

"Aren't we going back to Wind and Rain City now?"

Zhao Yushu looked at Gu Jinlai he led her to a room at Xiansheng Tower and asked, puzzled.

"The matter is not yet accomplished, so naturally we cannot go back like this. Don't forget, I came to Haifeng City on a mission to arrest people."

This Gu Jinlai.

Zhao Yushu was taken aback. "You really want to take action against the Ouyang family in Haifeng City?"

"How could it be fake?"

Gu Jinlai, pausing for a moment, "I need to cultivate for a while. You are free to move around outside. You can buy or go about whatever you want."

"Oh."

Zhao Yushu nodded obediently.

What I love most about her, Gu Jinlai, is that she never asks too many questions about any of his plans.

His words and actions were extremely measured.

"Finally, we've got them all."

In the cultivation room shrouded by the array, Gu Jinlai looked at the two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence in the two boxes in front of him.

He created his Chaotic Star Body some time ago, but he has been unable to achieve mastery of it due to a lack of sufficient Thunder Magnetic Essence.

At the moment...

Without further hesitation, he directly threw portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold into the Eternal Furnace.

As the Eternal Furnace operated, the temperature in the training room continued to rise.

Fortunately, although the cultivation rooms in these high-end courtyards like Xiansheng Tower are not particularly high-end, the materials used are quite substantial. The high temperature generated by Gu Jinlai operating the Eternal Furnace is less than that of burning the cultivation room.

Furthermore, since he has already activated the formation, the heat wave will not spread outwards, so his cultivation will not cause any damage to the surrounding area.

As one piece of Thunder Magnetic Gold was continuously added, Gu Jinlai clearly felt a sense of "transformation" in his body.

This transformation is not like the breakthrough from Martial King to Martial Saint, a transformation from death to life, but rather an evolution rooted in the essence of life.

As more and more Thunder Magnetic Element Gold is consumed, this feeling becomes increasingly obvious.

Finally...

When the 138th Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold Gu Jinlai refined, the evolution and transformation seemed to have entered a new stage.

At that moment, he clearly felt that he had become the darling of heaven and earth, and had formed a mysterious connection with the world.

Even if he wanted to...

He can directly guide the collision of positive and negative electrons in the void, causing thunder and discharge phenomena.

This ability, like the human instinct to breathe, requires almost no additional consumption of energy.

However, just as humans need an oxygen-rich environment to survive.

As his body underwent these changes, his mysterious connection with the world also propelled his body to continue evolving in an irreversible way.

Like a fish that has just stepped ashore trying to learn to breathe and adapt to the world on land...

It was a wonderful feeling that could not be described in Gu Jinlai.

Although he is still in the process of "learning," he is like a fish leaping out of the water, reaching for the sky...

What unfolded before him was a vast expanse of land unlike any he had ever seen before.

Every cell in his body was celebrating this change.

"Fish leap over the dragon gate, koi carp transform into dragons!"

These are the only words that can describe the changes in him at this moment Gu Jinlai and modern.

In the spiritual world, the information of the light sphere belonging to the Chaotic Astral Body also changed silently without the use of the Clear Light.
