"Twenty units of divine power?"
Li Yue pondered.
He currently had one hundred and fifty units of divine power.
But even so, twenty units was no small sum to him.
He guessed—
This female Deity named "Chu Yue" had probably asked quite a few Blue Star Deities who were looking to buy Spirit Rice Seeds.
But they probably hadn't made a deal.
After all—
The price was a bit too high.
Of course—
In another three months, this price wouldn't seem expensive.
But it had only been a little over two months since everyone became Deities. Divine power was especially precious, so the price naturally seemed a little steep.
"How much are you selling?"
he replied.
If the quantity was large enough, it would still be worth it.
After all—
The sooner he planted the Spirit Rice, the sooner he could harvest it.
And as a resource that could greatly increase Believers' cultivation speed, Spirit Rice would undoubtedly be a hot seller in future Regional Trading.
"About five jin."
Chu Yue answered.
"Five jin..."
"That should be enough to fill one mu of Spirit Field."
Li Yue nodded slightly.
He only had one Spirit Field Divine Talisman, which could transform into one mu of Grade C Spirit Field.
Of course—
He had also seen people selling Spirit Field Divine Talismans on the Regional Trading interface.
But their prices were all outrageously high. Even the cheapest cost one hundred and fifty units of divine power each.
At this stage—
He figured no one besides him could afford one.
And even he couldn't possibly spend one hundred and fifty units of divine power on a Spirit Field Divine Talisman right now.
After all—
One hundred and fifty units of divine power was everything he had!
However, he had always had a plan to earn divine power.
He simply hadn't put it into action before, because he'd considered that the other Blue Star Deities didn't have much divine power.
But now—
It had been over two months. Although the Blue Star Deities still hadn't saved enough divine power to advance to Subordinate Ninth Rank, they must have built up a decent amount by now...
He didn't haggle with Chu Yue and immediately chose to trade with her.
The items being traded displayed detailed information, so it was easy to tell whether they were really seeds.
A moment later.
Twenty units of divine power vanished from his body, and five jin of White Jade Spirit Rice Seeds appeared before him.
Each grain of White Jade Spirit Rice was plump and round as jade, gleaming with a white sheen.
It was a kind of First-Rank spiritual object. Eating it could greatly speed up the nurturing of one's vital energy and blood, making it one of the most suitable kinds of Spirit Rice for ordinary people and Body Refining Realm Martial Artists.
If eaten without fail for years on end, even someone with the worst talent could complete four Metamorphoses of vital energy and blood, becoming a Body Refining Realm Martial Artist at the First-Rank limit.
"I can open up a Grade C Spirit Field now."
His gaze turned toward the Land God Temple's entrance.
But after thinking it over, he decided to wait a little.
Li Youming had gone out to recruit people. If nothing unexpected happened, plenty of people would soon join Four Seas Village.
And he couldn't waste the divine spectacle of opening up a Spirit Field.
It was the best way to make newcomers develop a strong faith in him right away!
"First, I'll try to earn some divine power..."
His eyes glinted.
That was the important thing!
Whoosh—
He stretched out his right hand.
Ten units of divine power immediately spread out, slowly tracing the shape of a chain before him.
Two hours later.
The chain took shape, becoming a tangible Soul-Binding Chain.
A great many strange runes appeared across its surface. It looked eerie yet carried an air of authority, with terrifying power to suppress all ghosts.
It was a Yin Soldier Artifact!
That's right—
His plan to make money was to sell Yin Soldier Artifacts on the Regional Trading interface!
A Ghost Messenger who possessed a Yin Soldier Artifact was no longer a Candidate Ghost Messenger.
Instead, they could advance to become an official Grade D Ghost Messenger, with strength far beyond that of a Candidate Ghost Messenger.
"Candidate Ghost Messengers are roughly at the middle of the First Rank."
"The Strengthen Yin Soldiers Divine Technique can advance Candidate Ghost Messengers to Grade D Ghost Messengers, giving them strength around the lower Second Rank."
"And with a Yin Soldier Artifact, a Candidate Ghost Messenger can also advance to Grade D and reach the lower Second Rank."
Li Yue's eyes flickered.
As things stood—
There probably wasn't a second Subordinate Ninth Rank Orthodox Land God yet.
At least, there wasn't one in the region he was in.
Which meant—
He was the only one who could sell Yin Soldier Artifacts!
It was a monopolized business.
What kind of business made the most money?
Naturally, a monopolized business.
He figured—
Quite a few Blue Star Deities had probably already appointed Candidate Yin Soldiers or Candidate Ghost Messengers.
Among them—
There were surely Blue Star Deities who wanted to strengthen their Candidate Yin Soldiers or Candidate Ghost Messengers.
That meant his Yin Soldier Artifacts had a market.
"Anyway, I won't sell them for too much..."
"At least, the Blue Star Deities who want to buy one should be able to afford it..."
he murmured.
Without hesitation, he opened the Regional Trading interface.
He immediately listed the Yin Soldier Artifact, the Soul-Binding Chain, for sale.
"Twenty units of divine power each."
"I'm only making a one-hundred-percent profit on my hard work. I really am too kind."
He sighed.
Then—
He looked at the information for the Soul-Binding Chain displayed on the Regional Trading interface.
[Name]: Yin Soldier Artifact—Soul-Binding Chain [Rank]: Second Rank [Effect]: After refining it, a Candidate Yin Soldier/Ghost Messenger can advance to Grade D Yin Soldier/Ghost Messenger; a Grade D Yin Soldier/Ghost Messenger can advance to Grade C Yin Soldier/Ghost Messenger
"With an effect like this, it should be quite enticing..."
"At this stage, it's extremely enticing."
Li Yue murmured.
If he didn't already have Li Youming, who had the strength of a mid-Second-Rank warrior, under his command, he would have promoted Liao Xiu'er and Liao Chengping as well.
After all—
Without any Second-Rank fighters under his command, it was hard to deal with matters outside his Jurisdiction.
"Once I've earned some divine power from this wave..."
"I'll give Liao Xiu'er and Liao Chengping a boost."
"With two more Second-Rank fighters under my command, I'll be able to get more things done."
His eyes flickered.
Then he closed his eyes and continued comprehending the Divine Technique, Heavenly Thunder Art.
"Yin Soldier Artifact?"
"It can advance Candidate Yin Soldiers/Ghost Messengers to Grade D Yin Soldiers/Ghost Messengers?"
Inside the Land God Temple of a certain mountain village, the wild god Chu Yue's eyes immediately lit up.
She had already appointed five Candidate Ghost Messengers.
But she now felt that the five Candidate Ghost Messengers were too weak.
After all, the Inner Region of that Treasure Land was guarded by a Second-Rank Monster Beast!
Her Believer had previously obtained ten jin of White Jade Spirit Rice Seeds just in the Outer Region.
She could imagine that the Inner Region must contain even more good things.
But her followers weren't strong enough.
The Treasure Land was also outside her Jurisdiction, and she had racked her brains over it for a long time without coming up with a solution.
But now—
The appearance of this Yin Soldier Artifact gave her hope.
Twenty units of divine power was a little pricey.
But after hesitating, she decided to pay the twenty units.
She had just earned twenty units of divine power, after all, so spending them didn't hurt too much.
But just as she was about to buy it, she discovered that someone had already bought the Yin Soldier Artifact.
"Who was so fast?"
She immediately felt a pang of regret.
She shouldn't have hesitated!
She kept refreshing the Regional Trading interface.
Now she could only hope someone else would list a Yin Soldier Artifact for sale!
