Bartering Treasures

Chaos City, inside the City Lord Mansion.

When the City Lord of Chaos emerged from seclusion and broke through to become the Universe Supreme Being, Lu Yan'an descended upon this place once more. His target was the Human Race Treasury, where treasures could be exchanged.

"Lord of Heavenly Heart"

"Lord of Heavenly Heart." Many guards and servants in the City Lord Mansion naturally recognized Lu Yan'an. As a great Universe Master, everyone naturally paid him the highest respect. Lu Yan'an nodded to the guards and servants and then walked into the City Lord Mansion's mansion.

Before Lu Yan'an arrived, he also learned about the extent to which treasures were offered to the tribe through the Virtual Universe.

The Human Race Treasury... is located in an ancient side hall of the City Lord Mansion in the Initial Universe. To exchange for treasures, one must first apply in the Virtual Universe, as the ancient side hall is usually closed. Only after applying... will the side hall automatically open upon arrival.

Lu Yan'an walked to the side hall.

"Boom..." The ancient palace gate slowly opened, revealing a bronze gate over a hundred meters wide.

He then stepped inside.

Boom... The palace doors slammed shut once more.

"Is this where the clan exchanges treasures?" Lu Yan'an looked at the entire side hall. The side hall was very spacious, with a huge stone plate about 100 meters in diameter placed in the very center. As long as the treasure was placed in the stone plate, the Virtual Universe System could conduct a detailed inspection of the treasure through the stone plate.

"That old bastard, the Machine Race Father God, is deliberately trying to disgust me!" Lu Yan'an thought to himself, then stepped forward and placed the Peak True Treasure spear he had received as compensation on the stone plate.

Buzz...

Strands of cyan silk threads rose from the stone slab, enveloping the entire spear, and began to examine it meticulously.

Suddenly a voice rang out in the side hall.

"The Gale Spear, offered to the clan, will grant 1284 Supreme Treasure Points. Lu Yan'an, are you willing to offer this treasure to the clan?" The voice was gentle and soothing.

"Only worth 1284 Supreme Treasure Points? I knew that old man wouldn't compensate with anything good!" Lu Yan'an shook his head slightly, but he was already mentally prepared and wasn't particularly disappointed.

Generally speaking, 1200 Supreme Treasure Points can buy a typical Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon. The Peak True Treasure spear that the Machine Race Father God compensated with is just an extremely ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon, and in terms of value alone, it is far inferior to those Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure. This is because even a slightly inferior Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure would cost at least 2000 Supreme Treasure Points to exchange in the Human Race Treasury.

"If that's the case, then let's change it! Anyway, the teacher said he'd cover for us." Lu Yan'an smiled.

Card...

The stone disc suddenly split open in the center, parting to both sides, and the entire Gale Spear, under invisible manipulation, slowly fell into the ground. Immediately afterward, the stone disc closed again, returning to its original state.

"This is a detailed list of precious treasures that can be exchanged among Human Race," the gentle voice continued. At the same time, a hazy, enormous gray form suddenly appeared in mid-air above the side hall, displaying four large categories: Supreme Treasures, Heavy Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources...

Lu Yan'an looked up at the huge gray form in mid-air.

"Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon." Lu Yan'an began. His primary goal was clear: Peak True Treasure longsword. So he went straight to the point.

Wow!

The form then changes, with rows of resources appearing on top of it.

"Let's take a look. The cheapest Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon 1187 Supreme Treasure points, and the rest are all over 1200 points..." Lu Yan'an carefully examined the weapon, and soon his eyes locked onto one of the Peak True Treasure longswords called "Morning Glow Blade" which was worth 1748 Supreme Treasure points!

The Morning Glow Blade, Peak True Treasure longsword, possesses combined light and time attributes and requires 1748 Supreme Treasure points to acquire.

What attracted Lu Yan'an the most were the words "combined attributes of light and time," and he immediately said, "Help me get the detailed information on the Morning Glow Blade."

Wow!

Upon hearing Lu Yan'an's request, an image appeared on the screen in mid-air. In the vast starry sky, a mighty golden light suddenly appeared. From the remnants left after a supernova explosion, this long sword imbued with the power of Years was born. Because its environment was within the range of multiple supernova explosions, it had been imbued with a trace of light attribute under the illumination of light-attribute cosmic energy over the years.

After this Supreme Treasure longsword appeared, the supernova system was completely annihilated.

"The Morning Glow Blade is Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon, suitable for those who cultivate the laws of time and light. In battles across the universe, it can draw upon all light-attribute energy, making its power virtually limitless." A gentle voice rang out. "Because it is Peak True Treasure longsword with combined time and light attributes, it can only be used by those who have achieved immortality in the Law of Light, while generally only those at the Time Venerable can unleash its basic power."

"Other cultivators, such as Space Venerable, are not suitable to use the Morning Glow Blade." The gentle voice returned to calm after speaking.

Lu Yan'an nodded with satisfaction after reading the introduction.

In fact Lu Yan'an had always been quite satisfied with his superior Supreme Treasure Weapon, "Arc Light." In fact, during the tribal war, Lu Yan'an relied on this Supreme Treasure to chase the Lord of Chiron and the Lord of Moyun to the point that they had nowhere to run or hide.

However, if the opponents we face in the future are stronger, then this power will not be enough.

Against powerful opponents like the "Lord of Galaxy," mere high-grade Supreme Treasure Weapon are nothing more than child's play toys!

"If I possessed this even more powerful Peak True Treasure longsword, my attack power would increase by two levels," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "If that were the case, even if the Lord of Moyun's Divine Body were ten times larger, I could easily annihilate it completely."

"The Morning Glow Blade!" Lu Yan'an's gaze fell upon the Morning Glow Blade. Perfect timing! The Lord of Darkness had previously stated that he would cover the transaction fees for exchanging the Supreme Treasure longsword. This nearly 500 Supreme Treasure points in transaction fees, rounded up, was practically free! "That's it!"

"The Morning Glow Blade requires 1748 Supreme Treasure Points to exchange. Lu Yan'an, would you like to exchange it?"

"Exchange!"

Lu Yan'an did not hesitate at all.

"Boom..." The stone disc slowly cracked open, the cracking speed was very slow, until it revealed a passage leading to a bottomless abyss. Immediately afterwards, a treasure slowly flew up, which was a long sword that was radiating golden light all over its body! Its body was covered with red Secret Pattern, and it looked particularly bewitching from a distance.

The long sword flew directly towards Lu Yan'an, Lu Yan'an easily caught it in his palm. With a couple of swings, even the Chaos energy permeating the treasure vault was severed by the sword!

"Hiss! It's so sharp! This Morning Glow Blade... truly lives up to its reputation as Peak True Treasure longsword." A wisp of divine power seeped into Lu Yan'an's palm, imprinting his Life Imprint upon it. Instantly, the longsword connected with Lu Yan'an's consciousness, causing an extremely complex pattern to appear on Lu Yan'an's right palm.

"That's more convenient. Now, with a thought, the Morning Glow Blade can quickly appear in my hand. However, I'd better check how much tax I paid first!"

Lu Yan'an looked up at the screen in mid-air and quickly flipped to the list of Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon! In the "Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon" section... sure enough, among the many treasures, there was now a Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon called "Gale Spear," priced at 1358 Supreme Treasure points. That's a premium of nearly 200 Supreme Treasure points!

The extra Supreme Treasure Points were clearly the transaction fees he had to pay when exchanging for Supreme Treasure.

Lu Yan'an also understood

This is the meaning of "contribution".

The powerful provide treasures to their clans at a slightly lower price, and the clans reciprocate by offering them to the powerful at the normal price. This back-and-forth exchange allows the clans to easily amass a considerable amount of treasures, which they then use to nurture their weaker members, geniuses, and immortals.

He, Lu Yan'an, the Lord of Heavenly Heart, has become a proud taxpayer of his clan from this day forward!
