Stellar Radiance Water, Again?

"Goodness."

Lin Yi inwardly exclaimed, "Wow!"

Ninety-nine pieces.

They were originally worried about what to do about the remaining resource shortage, but after meeting with the Commander, not only are they full, but they're overflowing.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Now that we've arrived in the Silent Constant Great City, why rush back?

He still had a large pile of spoils from the Lightless City Battle. It was secondary that these things took up space in his inner Divine Kingdom; the key was that if he didn't get rid of them quickly, he would have to make another trip when he returned to Constant Island and wanted to sell them.

While Constant Island's exchange system is convenient, it's limited to a Points system within Constant Island. To exchange physical goods for Eternal Cosmos Crystal, you still need to go to a commercial hub of the level of Silent Constant Great City.

Besides, he did indeed need to purchase a batch of goods.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly took a step forward and caught up with Luo Mi.

"Inspector," Lin Yi bowed slightly, "I don't plan to rush back to Constant Island. This is my first time in Silent Constant Great City, so I'd like to wander around here, sell off my spoils, and buy some things. I won't trouble you to escort me back; I can go back on my own once I'm done."

Luo Mi did not answer immediately upon hearing this.

He glanced at Lin Yi, a thoughtful look flashing in his cold eyes, before slowly shaking his head.

"Since this is your first time here, I'll accompany you."

"If you try to sell those things directly to an unfamiliar trading district, you'll likely get a bad price. I'll send you back after I've bought them... With the speed of your Constant Island Constant Ban Spaceship, it'll still take some time to fly back."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then bowed again.

"Thank you, Inspector."

He was genuinely grateful.

Although Luo Mi spoke in a plain tone, Lin Yi could hear the meaning of her concern in her words.

An inspector from the Constant Source Realm is willing to spend time accompanying a Eternal Source Realm to the merchant guild to handle their spoils of war; this favor cannot be ignored.

After the two returned to the spaceship, Luo Mi didn't say anything, and the spaceship automatically entered the passage leading to the commercial area inside the Silent Constant Great City.

Looking down from the porthole, countless floating islands are arranged in an extremely precise array at the very center of the Chaos Energy Tide Belt. Each island is connected by a thick, pale purple energy beam, which weaves in the void to form a three-dimensional network covering the entire giant city.

The islands feature diverse architectural styles. Some are spires carved from a single piece of dark blue crystal, others are inverted pyramids formed by stacked ring-shaped floating islands, and still others are permanent structures converted from ancient giant warships.

Within this vast, almost boundless complex of buildings, several specially designated areas can be clearly seen.

The spaceship is heading towards one of them.

It was a circular commercial area made up of hundreds of medium-sized floating islands. Above each island, a huge projection of the Chamber of Commerce emblem floated, and the emblems slowly rotated in the void, illuminating the entire commercial area as if it were daytime.

The spacecraft landed smoothly on a designated berth on one of the floating islands.

As the hatch slid open, Lin Yi followed Luo Mi out of the spaceship. The moment his feet touched the berth platform, he felt a dense aura of chaos seeping up from the crystal slab beneath his feet.

In front of the berth is a wide main road, lined with shops of all sizes on both sides.

Various light screens projected onto the exterior walls of the shops, displaying the names, grades, and prices of various treasures.

Lin Yi glanced around casually and saw at least three shops selling materials from the Eternal Source Realm right at the entrance of the street.

"This way."

Luo Mi was clearly very familiar with this place.

He didn't stop in front of any shops, but walked straight along the main road into the depths of the commercial district. Lin Yi followed behind him. The two crossed three side streets, turned into two roundabouts, and finally stopped in front of an extremely large building.

The building's facade features a massive archway, above which floats a slowly rotating pale gold emblem.

The emblem is octagonal, with a long sword standing upright in the center, and a winding line on each side of the sword.

Lin Yi recognized the emblem; it was the emblem of the Nokhan Family, one of the oldest Dao Lord families in the Silent Constant Great City.

"The Nokhan Commerce," Luo Mi explained to Lin Yi, turning her head slightly. "It's a chamber of commerce established by the Nuokan Dao Lord family. They can basically buy and sell anything. I'm a regular customer here."

With that, he strode toward the enormous archway.

Lin Yi followed behind Luo Mi. As soon as they stepped through the archway and passed through the pale purple light curtain inside, two rows of waiters in dark purple fitted uniforms bowed simultaneously.

"Welcome to the Nokhan Commerce."

Before the waiters could finish speaking, a figure strode out from the corridor deep inside the building.

He was a tall, slender middle-aged man, with a face that appeared to be around 40 years old. He had a very short, grayish-white beard on his chin, wore a dark silver robe, and had a deep purple crystal about the size of a fingernail embedded between his eyebrows.

Lin Yi's self-glow swept over the man, and his heart skipped a beat.

Constant Source Realm.

Although the aura emanating from this person was extremely well concealed, Lin Yi had sensed the subtle resonance with the Chaos Origin Law countless times on the battlefield of Lightless City, and he would never mistake it.

This is a powerful expert at the Early Constant Source Realm, and judging from the inscriptions on his robes, he is most likely a person with considerable expertise in inscription.

The Constant Lord walked quickly to Luo Mi, a warm smile spreading across his face, and gave a slight bow.

"Brother Luo Mi, what brings you here? Are you here to buy something or to sell a few pieces from your collection?"

His tone was quite familiar, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he had dealt with Luo Mi.

As he spoke, his gaze naturally swept over Lin Yi, who was standing behind Luo Mi. After sensing the aura of the Eternal Source Realm emanating from Lin Yi, he simply nodded slightly and then withdrew his gaze without looking at him any further.

In his mind, the young man in golden armor should be Constant Guard under Luo Mi. The fact that he nodded to him as the Constant Lord was already a sign of respect.

However, Luo Mi's next reaction surprised him slightly.

"Haha, it wasn't me this time."

A smile appeared on Luo Mi's face. He turned slightly to the side, making room for Luo Mi.

"I came with Lin Constant Ban."

The Constant Lord of the Cuokan family was immediately taken aback.

accompany?

An inspector accompanying an ordinary Constant Guard? And not just any ordinary inspector, but Luo Mi, a top-tier inspector directly under the Dao Lord?

This is utterly upside down!

But he was, after all, a powerful being of the Constant Source Realm who had lived for countless Universal Epoch, and his reaction was extremely quick. He instantly grasped the key word in Luo Mi's words.

Lin Constant Ban.

The Constant Guard, who was personally accompanied by the Inspector, possessed the cultivation level of the Eternal Source Realm.

As these conditions crossed his mind, he immediately recalled the news he had recently heard from another member of his family who was at the Constant Source Realm.

In the Lightless City Battle, a three-way alliance resulted in a single Eternal Source Realm Constant Guard independently slaying a First Order of the Constant Source Realm Lightless Ones.

That Constant Guard is named Lin Yi...

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, a very enthusiastic smile immediately appeared on his face.

"So it was Lin Constant Ban..."

He drew out the last syllable, his gaze shifting to Luo Mi with a hint of probing, "This gentleman, could he be...?"

"Ha ha."

Luo Mi immediately laughed, her tone carrying an undisguised smugness.

"You're quite the informant, aren't you? Yes, it's him."

Upon hearing this, the Constant Lord of the Nokhan Family turned to Lin Yi and said with a smile, "Lin Constant Ban, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Moke Constant Ban, the head of the Silent Constant Cosmos Domain of the Nokhan Commerce of Commerce. It is an honor for our Nokhan Commerce to have you visit our esteemed association."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and took out a jade tablet carved entirely from dark purple crystal from his Divine Kingdom, handing it to Lin Yi.

The front of the jade plaque is engraved with the emblem of the Nokhan Family, while the back is engraved with an extremely complex inscription.

"Lin Constant Ban, this is a VIP pass for the Nokhan Commerce. With this pass, you can enjoy VIP treatment at any branch of the Nokhan Commerce. All goods will be supplied at a 10% discount, consignment items will be exempt from handling fees, and..."

He paused, a hint of pride in his voice, "Things can be delivered directly to your door throughout the entire Seventh Constant Domain. If Lin Constant Ban needs anything in the future, he only needs to contact us via the jade token, and we will naturally arrange for someone to deliver it."

Door-to-door delivery? Only powerful forces like the Imperial Army and the Constant Guard have the resources to do that.

As expected of a business guild established by the Dao Lord's family.

Lin Yi immediately and solemnly accepted the dark purple jade token.

He stored the jade pendant within his Divine Kingdom, then bowed slightly.

"Moke, Constant Lord."

Moke quickly waved his hand, "Lin Constant Ban, you're too kind. Please come in."

As he spoke, he turned to the side and gestured for him to enter.

At the same time, two waiters quickly stepped out from the queue and led the way.

Moke personally accompanied Lin Yi and Luo Mi through the archway and along a long corridor paved with dark purple crystals toward the depths of the Chamber of Commerce.

Countless transparent crystal cabinets float on both sides of the corridor, displaying all kinds of treasures inside. Below each treasure is a semi-transparent pale purple light screen, which clearly indicates its name, grade, and price.

Lin Yi's gaze swept quickly over the crystal cabinets.

He saw no fewer than ten kinds of materials at the Constant Source Realm level among the exhibits on both sides of this corridor alone, as well as several Constant Treasure that exuded heart-palpitating fluctuations.

Although the sealing array of the crystal cabinet firmly locked away most of the aura of those Constant Treasure, even the slightest ripples that escaped were enough to suffocate ordinary Eternal Source Realm.

At the end of the corridor, an archway made from a single piece of dark purple crystal slid open silently.

Behind the archway was an extremely spacious private room.

The private room is circular, with a dome constructed of some kind of special crystal. Soft light flows through the room. In the center of the room is a large, dark jade-colored round table, surrounded by several chairs also carved from dark jade. The backs of the chairs are engraved with some kind of extremely ancient pattern.

Moreover, several constantly changing light and shadow paintings floated on the crystal walls of the private room, each painting displaying some extremely rare treasure or material, with the starting price and expected final price marked below each painting.

That was a preview of the exquisite items that the Nokhan Commerce would be launching at the upcoming Cosmic Era Auction.

As Lin Yi and Luo Mi sat down on the black jade chairs under Moke's guidance, a hidden door silently slid open on one side of the private room.

Two female attendants dressed in fitted long dresses gracefully emerged from the hidden door. Each of them was a member of the Waveglow Race, radiant and dazzling, and their cultivation was remarkably at the peak of the True Source Realm.

One of the waiters gently placed a dark purple crystal pot on the table. With a slight tilt of the spout, three streams of Amber liquid flowed from the spout and were precisely poured into three crystal cups that had been prepared on the table.

The liquid rippled gently in the glass, emitting an extremely elegant and lingering fragrance; just one whiff was enough to invigorate the spirit.

Another waiter placed several exquisite crystal platters on the table, each filled with a variety of fruits and pastries. Each item was exquisitely crafted and emitted a strange aura.

These fruits were clearly not ordinary items; with Lin Yi's knowledge, he could only recognize two of them.

After the two waiters finished doing all this, they bowed slightly to the three of them and then silently retreated into the shadows in the corner of the private room, remaining motionless like two exquisite sculptures.

Moke sat down opposite the two men, smiling, and said, "Please."

Lin Yi glanced at the Amber liquid in the glass, picked up the crystal glass, and took a small sip.

The moment the liquid entered his mouth, an extremely clear and warm energy spread from the tip of his tongue, permeating his limbs and bones along his meridians, and even his Soul Origin felt a slight sense of comfort.

Moke also picked up his cup and took a sip, then asked, "Did Lin Constant Ban come here this time to sell some spoils of war, or to buy something?"

He knew very well the way these Constant Guard operated; they disliked roundabout, polite business pleasantries, and preferred directness.

"If it's for sale, Lin Constant Ban has two options. First, our Chamber of Commerce can consign the item to us, where it will be kept until a suitable buyer comes along. This way, we can get the highest possible price. However, the consignment period is uncertain; it could take hundreds of thousands of Epoch, or even one or two Universal Epoch."

"Secondly, sell directly to the Chamber of Commerce. The price will be lower than consignment, but the advantage is that the payment is settled on the spot, with the goods exchanged for money immediately, which is clean and efficient. I wonder which option Lin Constant Ban prefers?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi acted almost without hesitation.

"Sell directly to the Chamber of Commerce."

Consignment? Starting at hundreds of thousands of Epoch, waiting one or two Universal Epoch is common?

The concept of time among the Constant Lord is often measured in units of Universal Epoch, but he doesn't have that kind of time to spare.

Besides, he already has most of his resources in place, so he can cash in on his spoils as soon as possible and feel more at ease. There's no need to leave his goods to gather dust in the guild just to make a little extra profit.

Upon hearing this answer, Moke smiled.

Since the other party has chosen to sell directly, the Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly earn more.

However, he also knew his limits.

Although the young man in front of them was only at the Eternal Source Realm, he had great potential for the future. Moreover, the Inspector Luo Mi had personally accompanied him, which meant that he had clearly been given special attention by Commander Lan Chen.

Deliberately trying to drive down prices on such people can lead to losses far exceeding just one deal if discovered.

Therefore, the asking price should be public, or even slightly higher.

This is called long-term investment.

"In that case, please have Lin Constant Ban bring out the items. I'll take a look at the goods and give Lin Constant Ban an estimate."

Lin Yi nodded and waved his hand.

Multiple storage crystal boxes flew out from his inner Divine Kingdom and lined up on the black jade round table. The lids popped open silently, revealing the mountain of spoils inside under the soft, pale golden light of the private room.

The first thing that catches the eye are the belongings of the thirty-odd Lightless Ones at the Eternal Source Realm.

Various sizes of storage crystal boxes, several weapons emitting different colored law fluctuations, a pile of half-melted armor fragments, and several bottles of cultivation aids sealed in crystal tubes.

These things were piled up haphazardly, looking like a junk heap just dug out of the ruins of some battlefield.

But Moke's gaze swept over the pile of "junk" without the slightest hint of disdain.

He reached out, casually picked up a small, palm-sized, dark green bottle, turned it over and over in his palm a few times, and then nodded slightly.

"These are artifacts from the Abyss Venom Race. The craftsmanship is crude, but the materials are good; remelting them can yield many valuable items."

He put down the small bottle, then picked up the half-broken dark red longsword and flicked the blade lightly with his fingertip.

The blade emitted an extremely deep hum, and the remaining law patterns on the blade flickered slightly within the hum.

"A High Order of the Eternal Source Realm, the inscription is only so-so, but the base material is top-quality Crimson Abyss Gold. It's a pity it's broken in half; it could be worth some money if it were dismantled for materials."

He then picked up several pieces of armor fragments and examined them one by one.

While looking at them, I silently estimated their value in my mind.

A moment later, he put down the last piece of spoils from the Eternal Source Realm and looked up at Lin Yi.

"Lin Constant Ban, these items from the Eternal Source Realm Lightless Ones are of varying quality, but the quantity is considerable. Our organization can offer 60 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal to buy them all. What do you think of this price, Lin Constant Ban?"

Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly.

Sixty million.

In his private calculations, based on the intelligence he possessed, he estimated the value of this pile of spoils from the Eternal Source Realm to be between forty and fifty million.

Moke's offer of 60 million was significantly higher than the upper limit of his estimate.

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.

Moke's smile deepened.

Then, Lin Yi took out several black jade boxes from his Divine Kingdom, placed them on the table, and opened the lids.

The moment the lid was pushed open, a scorching and violent aura burst forth from the box.

Moke's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He picked up the dark red lava crystal core and examined it carefully.

The magma patterns flowing on the surface of the crystal core were extremely intricate, and the fluctuations emitted by the fist-sized crimson crystal core inside caused even him Early Constant Source Realm, to feel a burning pain.

He quickly calculated in his mind for a moment, then said out a number.

"This lava core crystal, Constant Source Realm Mid-Rank material, is of excellent quality. It can fetch 100 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. The seventeen bone beads, while slightly inferior in quality, are more numerous; I'll offer 50 million Eternal Judgment Crystal. These two pairs of Venom Fang fang daggers and the broken armor are of lower quality; together, I'll offer 35 million Eternal Judgment Crystal. As for these miscellaneous items, I'll offer 15 million each."

"These spoils from the Constant Source Realm have fetched a total of 200 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. Adding that to the 60 million from the Eternal Source Realm, the total comes to 260 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. What do you say, Lin Constant Ban?"

After hearing the quote, Lin Yi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he quickly calculated the figures.

His own previous estimate was that the spoils from the Constant Source Realm would probably sell for less than 200 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal, so Moke's offer of 200 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal was the highest price he could get.

As for the 60 million in the Eternal Source Realm, it was much higher than he had estimated.

Clearly, they probably didn't intend to make money from this acquisition.

"Moke, Constant Lord," Lin Yi said with a smile. "I'm very satisfied with this price."

Upon hearing this, Moke's smile deepened. "In that case, I'll arrange for the handover immediately. Lin Constant Ban wait a moment."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and lightly tapped the air with his index finger.

A pale purple beam of light shot from the fingertip and silently disappeared into the crystal wall of the private room.

After doing all this, Moke turned his attention back to Lin Yi.

"Let's set aside the transaction for now. Is there anything else Lin Constant Ban needs to purchase? This is Lin Constant Ban don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment.

He had already made a list of the things he wanted to buy in his mind.

"First, I need some Cosmic Source Soul Crystal and True Source Soul Crystal. One thousand Cosmic Source Soul Crystal. One hundred True Source Soul Crystal."

These things are rare in those remote areas, but they're no problem for him at all.

Moke nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Secondly, I need a batch of auxiliary materials for cultivation in the Cosmic Source Realm and True Source Realm. These include cultivation manuals, secret technique crystals, and treasures to aid in comprehension, roughly worth ten million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. I'm not very familiar with the specific types, so I would appreciate it if your esteemed merchant could help me with a selection, prioritizing practicality over anything too fancy."

Lin Yi paused, then added.

"We also need two Mechanical Servants shells for Intelligent Life to inhabit. As for their level... early stage of the Eternal Source Realm is sufficient."

As Moke listened, he silently calculated in his mind.

One thousand Cosmic Source Soul Crystal and one hundred True Source Soul Crystal are not a large number; for the Nokhan Commerce, they are just regular inventory.

The budget of ten million Eternal Cosmos Crystal for auxiliary supplies used by the Cosmic Source Realm and True Source Realm is not high; a batch of medium-to-high quality goods can be easily transferred from the warehouse.

The lack of Mechanical Servants's body is a bit more troublesome. Mechanical Servants's body at the initial stage of the Eternal Source Realm is a controlled item, and ordinary people really can't buy it. But for the Constant Guard, as long as they go through the proper registration process, it's not a problem at all.

What really caught his attention was the intention behind Lin Yi's purchase list.

The Cosmic Source Soul Crystal, True Source Soul Crystal, auxiliary cultivation materials, and the Early Order of the Eternal Source Realm unmanned Mechanical Servants body—clearly, none of these things were what Lin Yi needed himself.

With Lin Yi's cultivation at the tenth level of the Eternal Origin Realm, the Origin Soul Crystal and the True Origin Soul Crystal were completely useless to him. As for the initial level of the Eternal Origin Realm servants, Lin Yi could kill them with a single slap, and he himself would never need to use them.

These things were clearly bought for someone else to use.

to whom?

Moke remembered that someone had mentioned before that Lin Constant Ban seemed to be born from Cosmic Clam.

These people who originated from the Cosmic Clam all share the same style: after they become successful, they never forget to take care of their old friends.

Clearly, these things are intended for those people.

"He's quite sentimental, which is even better; he's worth getting to know better."

"Moke sighed inwardly, his smile becoming even more genuine.

"None of these are problems."

Moke smiled and said, "The Cosmic Source Soul Crystal and True Source Soul Crystal are in regular stock and can be replenished at any time. I will personally help Lin Constant Ban put together several sets of auxiliary materials to ensure practicality, avoiding anything flashy or impractical. The Mechanical Servants body is a bit more complicated, but it's just a matter of going through the motions, so Lin Constant Ban rest assured."

Lin Yi nodded, picked up the crystal glass on the table, and took another sip.

Then he raised his eyelids and spoke slowly in a casual tone.

"Oh right..."

He paused, as if considering his words.

"If your esteemed merchant possesses any treasures that can enhance soul comprehension, I am willing to purchase them. They don't need to be particularly rare, haha, I can't afford them anyway, as long as they can reach the Eternal Source Realm level of soul comprehension. Even if you don't have them in stock now, please keep an eye out for them if you consign such items in the future."

Upon hearing this, Moke immediately understood.

Treasures that enhance soul comprehension are rare, but not impossible. However, a treasure that can reach the Eternal Source Realm soul comprehension is something that even those at the Early Constant Source Realm stage of the Constant Origin Realm might not be willing to buy, let alone those at the Eternal Source Realm.

However, it was clear that this thing wasn't for Lin Yi's own use.

He's already at the tenth level of the Eternal Source Realm, and with his talent, he doesn't even need a soul talent treasure for the Constant Source Realm.

Moke estimated that it was most likely bought for one of his most important but less talented people.

As for who it's for, that's not something he should be asking.

"A treasure that enhances the soul's understanding..."

Moke repeated it, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and raised his hand to lightly tap the air.

A semi-transparent, pale purple light screen silently unfolded before him, displaying a densely packed list of items.

His fingers moved quickly across the screen, stopping at a line of text in no time.

Moke stared at the line of text for a moment, then slightly raised his head, a smile appearing on his face.

"Lin Constant Ban, you're really lucky."

He pointed to the line of text on the screen and slowly read it aloud.

"A drop of the Stellar Radiance Water. It was stored approximately ninety million Epoch ago."

Moke turned the light screen towards Lin Yi and continued speaking.

"This Stellar Radiance Water is an extremely rare treasure for enhancing soul comprehension. It's considered quite good even among soul comprehension treasures in the Eternal Source Realm. After consuming it, one's soul comprehension can be directly elevated to a level sufficient for cultivation to reach the mid-stage of the Eternal Source Realm."

He paused, then continued, "Originally, our merchant guild intended to save this drop of Stellar Radiance Water for the Cosmic Era Auction. The starting bid was one hundred million Eternal Cosmos Crystal, but..."

He deliberately drew out the syllable, then leaned forward slightly and said with a smile, "Since this is Lin Constant Ban's first time visiting our Nokhan Commerce, I'll take the liberty of making friends. If Lin Constant Ban wants it, I'll sell it to Constant Ban at cost price of one hundred million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. How about that?"

Lin Yi's gaze fell on the light screen, and his heart skipped a beat.

It actually exists.

He didn't actually have high hopes when he asked that question.

Treasures that enhance soul comprehension are rare and hard to come by, and this drop of Stellar Radiance Water is considered quite effective even among soul comprehension treasures in the Eternal Source Realm.

If he were to take it himself, his spiritual enlightenment would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

I'm about to experience that feeling of "having a brain" again.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt an irrepressible sense of anticipation welling up inside him.

However, despite his excitement, Lin Yi did not let his emotions cloud his judgment.

He wasn't unmoved by the price Moke offered, but he couldn't take advantage of it.

Lin Yi quickly calculated the costs and benefits involved in this matter in his mind.

When acquiring the spoils, Moke had already offered a price that was too high.

After all, it was his first time here. He wanted to make friends, so offering him a discount and making less profit for the sake of long-term business relationships is a normal business logic.

But if even this drop of Stellar Radiance Water is purchased at cost price, that would be abnormal.

This stuff has no trouble selling at all, and they've stockpiled 90 million Epoch in their warehouse. Storage and preservation costs—every single one of those costs money!

If he really takes it at cost price, then he'll owe him a favor.

It's hard to repay favors you've accumulated.

Constant Guard owes favors is even more troublesome.

Because you never know what the other person might ask you to do in return for that favor in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has money now.

It's one thing to be poor; it's not shameful to owe favors in order to save resources when you're poor.

In this situation, it's unnecessary and undignified to owe a favor to a chamber of commerce just to save money.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi gently placed the crystal cup back on the table and looked at Moke.

"Constant Lord Moke, this is very inappropriate."

Moke's smile faltered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Your Chamber of Commerce originally intended to auction this drop of Stellar Radiance Water at the Cosmic Era Auction. If you were to sell it to me at cost price, your Chamber of Commerce would suffer a considerable loss. Lin Yi appreciate your kind intentions, but it would be better to set the price according to market practice."

"Based on past practice, what price range would this drop of Stellar Radiance Water typically fetch at auction? I hope it will be around that price."

Moke paused for a moment.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Luo Mi sitting next to him.

Luo Mi held the crystal glass, her face bearing an expression that said, "I knew this would happen," and the smile at the corner of her mouth became even more pronounced.

Moke sighed.

"As expected of the Constant Guard."

He turned to Luo Mi, who was smiling broadly, and complained, "You Constant Guard are all the same. Everyone else comes to the Merchant Guild hoping to take advantage of something, but you guys are afraid of taking too much. Even if you do manage to take advantage, you'll quickly find a way to get it back."

Luo Mi laughed and put down the crystal cup in her hand.

"How rare? Aren't we just like that?"

Moke shook his head helplessly and turned back to Lin Yi.

He knew the style of the Constant Guard; what they hated most was insincere politeness and politeness. If they said they would pay the market price, they really meant they would.

Continuing with polite formalities would only make him seem disrespectful.

"OK."

Moke gave a number.

"Then it'll be 130 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal."

Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this. "Then it's 130 million. Moke, Constant Lord."

Moke waved his hand, "Then let me summarize for Lin Constant Ban. Stellar Radiance Water, 130 million. One thousand Cosmic Source Soul Crystal, each 10,000, totaling 10 million. One hundred True Source Soul Crystal, each 500,000, totaling 50 million. Auxiliary cultivation supplies, 10 million; I'll provide this part for Lin Constant Ban, and the list will be provided later. Unmanned Mechanical Servants husks, market price 15 million each, two husks totaling 30 million."

"In total, it amounts to 230 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal. With the 10% discount for VIPs, the actual amount received is 207 million Eternal Cosmos Crystal."

Lin Yi silently checked the accounts in his mind, then gave Moke a slight bow.

"Thank you for your help, Constant Lord Moke."

Moke stood up and made a vague gesture in the air.

A pale purple beam of light shot out from his fingertips again, disappearing into the crystal wall of the private room.

He then sat back down in his chair and smiled at Lin Yi and Luo Mi, saying, "The delivery will take a moment, please have a seat. The process for the Mechanical Servants's body will be a little slow. If Lin Constant Ban is unable to wait, I can arrange for someone to deliver the goods."

Lin Yi thought for a moment, "I'll take the rest of the things first, and send the Mechanical Servants's body to Constant Island."

Moke nodded in agreement.

While waiting for the goods to be transferred, Moke poured two more rounds of tea for the two of them and chatted for a while about the recent situation in the Seventh Constant Domain.

He was very well-informed, and had knowledge of the battle situation on the Black Mist Sea Frontline, the allocation of supplies in the Silent Constant Great City, and even the aftermath of the Lightless City Battle.

Lin Yi mostly listened quietly, occasionally replying with a few words when Moke asked a question.

This kind of casual conversation was not difficult for him to handle.

During his time on Constant Island, his clone spent almost every day attending social events. Every few days, students would invite him to drink and parties, and his ability to handle social situations was no longer at the level he had when he first came out of Mist Sea City.

After a while, the hidden door to the private room slid open again.

The waiter who had led the way earlier entered carrying a crystal tray, on which were neatly arranged several storage boxes and an exquisite crystal bottle.

The crystal bottle was only the size of a thumb, completely transparent, and its surface was covered with extremely fine sealing inscriptions. Through the bottle wall, one could vaguely see a tiny but exceptionally bright droplet of water slowly rolling inside.

The Stellar Radiance Water.

Lin Yi carefully stored the crystal bottle into his inner Divine Kingdom, and then checked each of the storage crystal boxes one by one, finding none missing.

After he had packed everything up, he gave a slight bow to Moke.

"Moke Constant Lord today."

Moke quickly bowed in return, "Lin Constant Ban kind. From now on, please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Luo Mi also stood up and casually waved goodbye to Moke.

Accompanied by Moke, the two left the private room, walked through the long corridor paved with dark purple crystals, and returned to the berth outside the Chamber of Commerce's huge archway.

A moment later, the spaceship rose up and merged into the void channel surrounding the Silent Constant Great City, heading towards Constant Island.

As the spaceship passed through the Protective Light Screen surrounding the Silent Constant Great City, Lin Yi stood by the porthole, gazing at the massive, dark golden spire gradually disappearing into the distance. Reflecting on the day's events, he felt quite pleased.

I received one million contribution points and ninety-nine Origin Constant Crystal from Commander Lan Chen.

The spoils included one thousand Cosmic Source Soul Crystal, one hundred True Source Soul Crystal, a complete set of auxiliary cultivation supplies, two Eternal Source Realm Mechanical Servants shells, and a drop of Stellar Radiance Water.

A total of 207 million was spent, and 53 million remains in cash.

Adding the original 190,000 Points and 1.94 million contribution points, his current amount of both Eternal Cosmos Crystal and contribution points is quite considerable.

Not to mention the Origin Constant Crystal within the Divine Kingdom of the body.

Since he began cultivating, he has never fought such a fruitful battle.

Luo Mi didn't say much along the way, only turning to look at Lin Yi after the spaceship landed at Constant Island berth.

"Lin Constant Ban, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to headquarters to find me."

Lin Yi had come to understand the taciturn inspector somewhat by this point, knowing that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Inspector. If I have any questions, I will certainly ask you."

Luo Mi nodded, said nothing more, and returned directly to the spaceship, leaving Constant Island.

Lin Yi watched the golden light disappear into the distance, then walked along the main road of the inner island toward the Seventh Court.

I didn't encounter many people on the way.

Back in the Seventh Court, after entering the underground cultivation room, Lin Yi sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform and immediately focused his mind on his inner Divine Kingdom, preparing to use the Stellar Radiance Water.

He was already quite impatient.

However, at that moment, a communication notification suddenly came from Constant Island Emblem.

Lin Yi checked and found it was Constant Lord Eric.

"Logically, Constant Lord Eric should be studying the inscriptions I brought back, so why is he looking for me now?"

Lin Yi was a little puzzled, then opened the communication.

Constant Lord Eric's voice immediately emanated from the emblem.

"Lin Yi, you're back? The Dao Lord Xi Mo summons you."

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback.

The Dao Lord is calling me over?

He subconsciously recalled the ninety-nine Origin Constant Crystal and the one million contribution points in the emblem.

Commander Lan Chen summoned him and gave him these things.

Now the Dao Lord Xi Mo is calling him over again?

What are you doing?

Is he going to give me something again...?

Thinking about this, Lin Yi was speechless.

He sat on the stone platform in silence for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the cultivation room, silently complaining to himself.

If I become Dao Lord in the future, what should I name my autobiography?

<Dao Lord: It Starts with Receiving Gifts?>

He was almost amused by his own thought, but he didn't stop walking.

After all, if the Dao Lord Dao Lord you, there's no reason to keep him waiting, regardless of whether you offer anything or not.
