Chen Lie ignored Mu Yunyao's message because he had already made an appointment with Zhang Liwu to meet in the Eastern Star Region Comprehensive Zone, and he couldn't keep a group of people waiting for him.

Chen Lie understood why the Saint Envoy Hall urgently requested a meeting with him.

The Saint Envoy Hall had already delivered all the promised Advanced Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid, Five Elements Divine Meridians, and the bones of the Starry Sky Behemoth, but they were nowhere to be seen. They were probably worried that they had been tricked by them.

If Chen Lie really doesn't show up, Mu Yunyao will be the one who suffers, since she's in the middle and essentially a guarantor.

However, there's no need for that, because Chen Lie can solve this problem.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Lie replied with a message: I have some personal matters to attend to, please wait a moment.

After sending the message back, Chen Lie chose to descend to the Eastern Star Region Comprehensive Zone and arrived at the Blue Star settlement.

Come here!

In the Eastern Star Region Comprehensive Zone, Zhang Liwu saw the newly arrived group and immediately waved.

Chen Lie, Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and finally Han Keke Xia Zhizhi all came to Zhang Liwu's side.

"Students, we're about to head to the Canglong Star Trading Market. It has a complete range of martial arts resources; whatever resources you need, you'll find it there."

But remember, everyone's chosen martial arts resources must be limited to 500,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins. It's not that the official team is unwilling to give you rewards; it's because Outer Stars are scarce, and there aren't many to begin with. This time, being able to allocate 5 million Star Dollar is already quite difficult."

"I am now sending each of you a star system transfer invitation. Please accept it and we will enter the Canglong Star Trading Market in the Central Star Region together."

As he spoke, Zhang Liwu sent a space jump invitation to Chen Lie and the others.

Chen Lie's Sumeru Illusion Realm Personal AI instantly received a reminder.

' Zhang Liwu invites you to a cross-space journey to Canglong Star. Do you accept...?'

Chen Lie directly chose 'accept'.

Immediately afterward, a dizzying sensation followed, and Chen Lie found himself in front of a building that resembled a heavenly palace.

The plaque on the building reads "Canglong Star Trading Market".

At the same time, Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and others also arrived at the Canglong Star Trading Market.

Zhang Liwu then stepped in front of the group and said, "Everyone, come inside with me!"

After Zhang Liwu finished speaking, he led the group to the outer perimeter of the Trading Market.

Upon arriving at the outer edge of the Trading Market, Zhang Liwu collected a pile of Jade Token and distributed one to each person.

"This is a specially made Jade Token to conceal your identity. When you enter the Canglong Star Trading Market, the Canglong Star Personal AI will automatically scan your identity information. Wearing this Jade Token will allow you to bypass the Personal AI's recognition and actively conceal your information."

However, wearing the Jade Token can only be used for purchasing, not for resale. We are here to buy resources, so it's best to conceal our identities for safety's sake. The interstellar environment is harsh.

Everyone is using Jade Token to conceal their identities; let's head into the Canglong Star Trading Market to purchase resources.

After Zhang Liwu said this, everyone began to hide their appearance and personal information.

Next, Zhang Liwu led everyone into the Canglong Star Trading Market.

Upon entering the Trading Market, Chen Lie saw the Trading Seat and stalls on both sides, which surprised everyone.

Zhang Liwu explained, "The Trading Seat on both sides of the Trading Market are officially endorsed by Canglong Star. Canglong Star fully guarantees that there will be no unexpected events during the transaction."

The stalls are not approved by Canglong Star. Although Canglong Star will monitor the transactions, he will not provide guarantees in case of any Canglong Star.

You can see that the people at the stalls are all wearing Jade Token, concealing their identities."

Everyone looked and saw that it was indeed true.

Han Keke, concealing her face, approached Chen Lie: "Big brother, I just saw someone selling SSSSSS martial arts techniques at a stall. Do you think it's real or fake?"

"It's probably true," Chen Lie said.

"I don't think it's expensive, only 80,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."

"How about I buy it and give it to you? Don't you lack any suitable martial arts techniques?" Han Keke asked.

"No need, I don't need it. I advise you not to buy it either. The Blood-Qi Stage will be over soon, buying it will be a waste of your time," Chen Lie said.

"Even if you don't cultivate it, you can resell it. Such a cheap 5S-level martial art, you definitely won't lose money by getting it for 80,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins," Han Keke said.

"Look at that stall owner wearing Jade Token to conceal his identity. This means he doesn't even dare to sell his martial arts after being vetted by Canglong Star. The origin of his martial arts is most likely shady. Would you dare to resell it?"

Han Keke: "What?! Is that even possible? Could the stall owner have stolen this martial arts technique?"

"It's only a possibility!"

Zhang Liwu said, "Chen Lie is right. Our Blue Star society is stable and there will be no murder or robbery."

But the Outer Stars is not like Blue Star. In the future, when you go to Starry Sky University, you must be cautious in everything you do and pay more attention to everything. It might save your life."

"These individual Trading Seat are irrelevant to our resource purchase this time. We are going to the direct market of the Canglong Star Trading Market."

The Canglong Star Direct Market is officially opened by Canglong Star. Although it may not have rare or unusual martial arts resources, it should have all the martial arts resources you need!

Come with me, I'll show you how to choose!

Zhang Liwu led everyone through the Trading Market's corridor and into the Canglong Star Direct Market.

Upon entering the directly operated market, Chen Lie was greeted by a dazzling array of martial arts resources, divided into sections such as "Qi and Blood Martial Artist," "True Qi Martial Artist," "Martial Arts Techniques," "Divine Sense Master," and "Materials and Weapons."

"Everyone, go and pick one out. After you've made your choice, come report to me."

After Zhang Liwu finished speaking, he instructed everyone to go and select resources.

Chen Lie went to the Qi and Blood section and started looking at things at the counter.

It must be said that the martial arts resources in the Canglong Star Trading Market are quite abundant, but for Chen Lie, these things are rarely of use anymore.

To break through to the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, specifically the Aperture Refining Stage, one relies on Strength Value and the number of times one has Blood Tempering. In addition, one needs Spirit Medicine and Martial Dao Rare Treasure to enhance their Blood Qi Value.

After Origin Aperture Stage, special resources are needed to advance one's realm, but these cannot be provided by conventional martial arts resources.

After the others dispersed, Han Keke approached Chen Lie and asked, "Big brother, are there any martial arts resources here that you like?"

"Let's take a look first!" Chen Lie said.

"You are very knowledgeable and experienced. What do you think I should do to select martial arts resources?"

Chen Lie glanced at Han Keke and said, "I suggest you go directly to the ' True Qi Martial Artist Zone'. 500,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins are enough for you to choose a decent Spirit Marrow or Spirit Vein."

Choose the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) or the wind, ice, thunder, and lightning-related spiritual essences to prepare for future cultivation of True Qi.

"Oh, is that so? Okay then, I'll go check out the True Qi Martial Artist area."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Han Keke immediately went to the True Qi Martial Artist area.

After looking around the 'Qi and Blood Martial Artist Zone' and finding nothing, Chen Lie went to the adjacent 'Scroll Fragment Zone'.

'Scroll Fragments Section' -- Description: All items sold in this section are scroll fragments from Ancient Star Ruins. Canglong Star does not guarantee the validity of the scrolls, and once sold, returns and exchanges are not accepted.

"The Canglong Star actually has a scroll section?"

Chen Lie narrowed his eyes.

The so-called scrolls, called ' True Spirit Scroll ', are made by top-level experts, Martial Dao Saint who have entered the Primordial Essence Domain, or Divine Sense Master of the tenth rank or above, using special materials. There are many types of scrolls, including curse scrolls, attack scrolls, empowerment Spirit-Opening Scroll, and so on.

However, scrolls were popular in the last era, and nowadays, very few people in the Central Galactic Empire know how to make them.

"However, these scrolls are all fragments, severely incomplete, and excavated from Ancient Star Ruins. They're probably unusable due to their age."

Chen Lie started walking around the scroll area and found that he recognized most of the characters on the scrolls.

After all, in his previous life he had been in charge of the Scripture Library at the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy, so he had some knowledge of the writing system from the previous era.

After walking along the counter for a while, Chen Lie saw various scrolls such as the ' Wind Spirit Scroll ', ' Divine Awakening Scroll ', and 'Attack Scroll', as well as some characters he did not recognize.

These scrolls all have serial numbers, such as scroll number one, scroll number two, and so on.

It seems the people of Canglong Star probably don't recognize the writing system from the previous era, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with such a serial number system.

As Chen Lie walked, he suddenly saw a blue scroll with the words "Nine Yin - Spirit-Opening Scroll" from the previous era.

"Nine Yin Spirit-Awakening Scroll?"

Chen Lie saw the scroll and fell into deep thought.

A Spirit-Opening Scroll is a scroll that can awaken spirituality and stimulate dormant physical constitution.

The Nine Yin Spirit-Awakening Scroll likely refers to a scroll capable of awakening the Nine Yin Body.

"I just don't know if this scroll will still be effective."

Ruan Liusu's physique seems to be the Nine Yin Sacred Vein. If the energy of this scroll has not dissipated, it should be able to have an effect on Ruan Liusu.

"I'll buy this scroll number 58. How much is it worth?"

Chen Lie summoned the staff of Canglong Star's directly operated market and asked them a question.

"Our Canglong Star Trading Market only accepts transactions in Galactic Coin. This scroll is over 80% intact and is priced at 188,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."

"But we cannot guarantee the scroll's effectiveness, and Canglong Star will not be involved in any subsequent disputes," the staff member explained to Chen Lie.

"Okay, I got it. I'll buy the scroll!"

"Okay, I'll generate an order for you here. Once you successfully pay with Galactic Coin, Scroll No. 58 will be removed from the shelves and shipped over."

"Um!"

After some maneuvering by the staff, Chen Lie successfully contacted Zhang Liwu and purchased the scroll.

Although I don't know if this scroll is effective, as long as there's even a sliver of hope, buying it won't be a loss.

If Ruan Liusu can truly awaken the ' Nine Yin Sacred Vein ', Ruan Liusu future will be immeasurable.

Before long, Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and the others had all selected and purchased the resources.

Jiang Yuan purchased a Qi Gong technique at the True Qi Stage, Zuo Yuan'er purchased a martial arts technique at the Earth-Grade, and the others purchased various items.

Following Chen Lie's advice, Han Keke purchased an ice-attribute spiritual vein.

Looking at the scroll Chen Lie had bought, Han Keke help but say, "Big brother, why did you buy this useless thing? Didn't you read the description?"

This is from the previous era, buried beneath Ancient Star Ruins for who knows how many years. It's probably just a piece of waste paper by now, a waste of money."

Zuo Yuan'er looked at Chen Lie and said, "If we don't have the resources we need at this stage, we can hold onto this opportunity or cash it out."

"That's exactly what I want. As for whether it'll work or not, I'll take a gamble," Chen Lie said.

Zhang Liwu had intended to persuade him, but upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, he gave up and said, "Chen Lie, your performance in the competition has been particularly outstanding. You can choose two items; the scroll counts as one now, and you can look at the other one later!"

"Good!"

After listening to Zhang Liwu's words, Chen Lie went to the Qi and Blood Zone and walked to the innermost part.

Deep inside, he saw a red, sprout-like Spirit Medicine.

The Spirit Medicine herb is described as ' Spirit-Nourishing Grass ', which states that it can nourish many acupoints and help the Primordial Aperture connect with the Divine Aperture.

Year 3800, Price: 128,000 Galactic Coin (Rare, in high demand).

Upon seeing the ' Spirit-Nourishing Grass ', Chen Lie immediately stopped in his tracks.

He has just broken through to the ' Spirit Aperture Stage '. If he buys this Spirit-Nourishing Grass and nourishes it, he can save the time of settling down and directly break through to the Earth Aperture.

As for the connection between the Primordial Aperture and the Divine Aperture, Chen Lie doesn't need it. With his profound foundation, the breakthrough of the Primordial Aperture into the Divine Aperture is a natural process for him, requiring no martial arts resources to assist him.

So Chen Lie summoned his staff and said, "I'll buy this Spirit-Nourishing Grass!"

"Okay, I'll generate the order right away."

The staff member rushed over, and after operating the Personal AI of the Sumeru Illusion Realm Canglong Star for a while, said, "The order has been generated."

Once you complete the payment, this 3,800-year-old ' Spirit-Nourishing Grass ' will be taken off the shelves and shipped directly to the address you provided."

"OK!"

Chen Lie nodded, called Zhang Liwu over, and was about to pay in Galactic Coin when a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait!"

Chen Lie turned his head and saw a woman in Ancient Garments, about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, walking towards him without any attempt to conceal her appearance.

Behind the woman in Ancient Garments followed a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, whose hair was styled in double buns and who was also dressed in Ancient Garments.

Upon hearing the woman in Ancient Garments shout to stop him, Zhang Liwu asked, "Young lady, what brings you here?"

The woman said calmly, "Our Beimang Star Sacred Martial Dynasty has taken a liking to this Spirit-Nourishing Grass."

"Are you from the Beimang Star Sacred Martial Dynasty?" Zhang Liwu asked somewhat reservedly.

"You don't need to ask any more questions. We've had our eye on the Spirit-Nourishing Grass for a long time, and we'll take it!"

"This..."

Zhang Liwu glanced at Chen Lie, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Chen Lie was speechless. You've already hidden your identity, so what does it matter if it's the Sacred Martial Dynasty or not? What are you afraid of?

Seeing that Zhang Liwu remained silent, Chen Lie took the initiative to say, "When buying things, it's a matter of first come, first served. I don't know what you mean by 'I've had my eye on something for a while now,' but the situation is that I arrived first, and you arrived later, so the item should rightfully belong to me."
