Selling

Feeling the soul auras rapidly fading away, Jiang Ming said nothing more.

The group of four set off once again.

At this moment, Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng all heard Jiang Ming's force-transmitted voice by their ears.

"The moment we left the port, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were watching us in secret.

"Of them, those three had the strongest malicious intent, though they might not have dared to make a move."

Force transmission was a relatively basic technique among warriors and was not difficult to learn.

Soul transmission had much higher requirements, but it was also more concealed.

They understood the principle. What shocked them was merely how easily Stellar-level beings could die.

"What's this? Back then, whenever Master disliked someone, even a Realm Lord had to die."

Babata's voice rang out beside Luo Feng's ear.

Luo Feng had heard Babata talk about Hu Yanbo many times, so Babata's words did not surprise him.

But there was still a great difference between hearing a story and witnessing it with his own eyes.

When hearing stories, it only felt distant from him, perhaps something he would never see in his lifetime.

Yet seeing Jiang Ming raise a hand and burn three Stellar-level beings to death had a greater impact than Babata's tales of crushing Realm Lords to death.

The group traveled in silence and soon arrived at an enormous black city. Its end could not be seen at a glance, while colossal dragons seemingly made of glazed crystal coiled along the city walls.

The walls were only 120 meters tall, but including those glazed dragons, they reached several hundred meters in height.

"Qiu Long City."

Seeing this city, six thousand kilometers long and wide, Jiang Ming could not help but feel moved.

While teaching Luo Feng and the others, he was also teaching himself. After all, this was his first time stepping into the universe.

Qiu Long City's gates were nearly a kilometer wide.

The moment they entered Qiu Long City, a bustling street scene unfolded before them.

The lively and prosperous alien city was dazzling. As the four entered the city, they each received a Qiu Long City communication number.

After discussing it among themselves, Jiang Ming and the others headed toward the administrative building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiu Long Star.

All four of them applied for citizenship in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire at the same time. Although it was a little strange for four people to apply for nationality together,

it was not a major matter, and the process was completed easily.

They also successfully opened accounts with the Virtual Universe Company.

At that moment, Jiang Ming and the others were seated in a private room at a rather high-end restaurant on Qiu Long Star.

"Mm, let's enter the Virtual Universe."

Jiang Ming spoke.

They had already made plans. They would not discuss matters that might expose their identities anywhere their identities could possibly be exposed.

Even when Jiang Ming had used force transmission earlier, he had not said anything sensitive.

"Connecting to the Virtual Universe..."

A deep, majestic voice resounded within Jiang Ming's consciousness.

Within an ancient city, humans of all kinds walked through the streets. Though they looked different from one another, each had a little sprite on their shoulder.

"So this is the Virtual Universe? It's exactly the same as the real universe."

Thor looked around at everything and sighed in amazement.

Upon entering the Virtual Universe, they would appear on Black Dragon Mountain Island on Ganwu Continent.

No one knew how many trillions upon trillions of people lived on Black Dragon Mountain Island, and one's first appearance on the island was random. Had the four not logged in together, they would have been scattered to opposite ends of Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Thus, under normal circumstances, there was no need to worry about running into anyone who knew them.

"Come on, let's find a restaurant and talk."

Even so, Jiang Ming cautiously found a restaurant and rented a private room.

"This Virtual Universe Company is too damn impressive. They can even create a virtual space like this."

Thor looked at the utterly realistic Virtual Universe. Before opening his account, he had already learned that one could connect to the Virtual Universe Company from any corner of the universe.

Such terrifying technology was simply unbelievable.

"The Virtual Universe Company is a true colossus. Only the Universe Galaxy Bank, Universe First Bank, Giant Axe Fighting Arena, and Universe Mercenary Alliance stand alongside it. These five are the Five Great Giants of the universe."

Babata introduced them to the group.

"Everything you simulate in the Virtual Universe is one hundred percent real, so you can also cultivate within the Virtual Universe.

"However real the Virtual Universe may be, it cannot cultivate your physical body in reality.

"So excessive obsession with the Virtual Universe will ultimately lead only to tragedy."

Babata began explaining things to them one by one.

Before long, everyone had become familiar with some of the Virtual Universe's functions and no longer found it unfamiliar.

Once they were all acquainted with it, they exited the Virtual Universe. They still had many things to do that day.

Not long after, Jiang Ming and the others appeared in a treasure shop.

"Sir, how may I help you?"

The moment Jiang Ming and the others entered, a clerk approached and asked him.

"I want to sell some things. They're worth a little something."

Jiang Ming spoke casually, his eyes carelessly inspecting the treasures within the shop as he talked.

"Very well, customer. Please follow me."

Soon, the clerk led Jiang Ming and the others into a reception room.

"See how much these are worth."

Jiang Ming tossed a Space Ring to a Stellar-level old man seated in a chair, as casually as if he were throwing out a pile of junk.

The old man did not pay much attention when he accepted it, but the instant his consciousness entered it, he was stunned.

"Flowing Silver Guards!"

The old man cried out in shock.

"Mm. See how much they're worth. Sell them all."

The Flowing Silver Guards were of little use to Jiang Ming or Earth as it now was. It would be better to sell them for cultivation resources.

Aside from the Flowing Silver Guards, there were also some relatively valuable items Jiang Ming had collected on Earth and had Babata appraise, as well as some things found within the Sun Ruins.

With the Fire God clone's Universe-level strength, exploring the sun was quite easy. It had not taken long to conduct a rough search.

He had indeed found some civilization ruins, but unfortunately, there were basically no particularly valuable items.

Thus, the two Flowing Silver Guards remained the main attraction in that Space Ring.

"Six hundred million Black Dragon Coins is the purchase price I can offer."

"Eight hundred million."

Jiang Ming said.

"Customer—"

Seeing the old man about to bargain, Jiang Ming picked up the Space Ring and prepared to leave.

Seeing Jiang Ming act this way, the Stellar-level old man seemed to grit his teeth.

"Fine. Eight hundred million it is."

The two secondhand Flowing Silver Guards were worth at most five hundred million, but the other items Jiang Ming had brought out were also quite valuable, so they could be sold for eight hundred million.

"Oh, right. We ran into a few blind little rats on the road. See how much these are worth."

Jiang Ming signaled with his eyes to Luo Feng, who immediately took out the three storage rings Jiang Ming had thrown to him earlier.

The old man took the storage rings and inspected them. He immediately understood why the person before him was even selling Flowing Silver Guards.

Judging from the value of the items within, the former owners of these three rings had likely all been relatively powerful Stellar-level beings.
