An era is but a fleeting moment for the powerful beings of the Universe Ocean.
Soon, the day of the Master of Extended Edge Trade Fair arrived.
Lu Qingshan had the Master of Stone Steps secure two spots in advance, and arrived at the location on time before the trade fair began.
This is an abandoned ruin in the Inner Domain the Star Ruins, where a huge platform has been cleared out to serve as a temporary gathering place.
Many powerful individuals have come to participate in the trade fair.
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across the room, revealing a total of more than twenty people. The weakest among them was Fourth-Order Universe Master, and there was even a True God participating in this trade fair.
It is evident that the prestige of the Master of Extended Edge far surpasses that of Universe Master.
Everyone landed on the high platform. Those with large divine bodies deliberately shrank their divine bodies, and each powerful person occupied an area. Those who knew each other were also talking to each other.
Lu Qingshan had never interacted with any of these twenty-odd powerful individuals, but many knew of his reputation.
Some people even greeted him, showing great respect for this master craftsman.
Lu Qingshan responded just as enthusiastically.
Soon, a handsome man with silver-white skin, a beautiful face, and even a somewhat Yao Rao flew over and landed in the center of the crowd. " Master of Extended Edge!"
" Yanfeng!"
One by one, the Universe Master stood up to greet them, and even the True God who had entered early nodded in acknowledgment.
Master of Extended Edge smiled broadly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. He said with a smile, "We're all old acquaintances, no need for formalities. We have two new friends attending this trade fair."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lu Qingshan: "Is this Master Xue You? I've long admired your name."
"You flatter me Master of Extended Edge."
Lu Qingshan responded calmly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
"At today's trade fair, if Master Xue You sees anything he likes, feel free to make an offer; everyone will give a newcomer face."
"This is what Master of Extended Edge said politely."
He was very prudent in his actions, treating Lu Qingshan with great courtesy and even giving face to the Master of Stone Steps.
Logically speaking, given the status of the Master of Stone Steps, he should not be qualified to participate in such a high-level trade fair.
" Yanfeng, now that everyone has met their new friends, let's begin the trade fair." An Old voice broke the pleasantries.
" Elder Gu."
Master of Extended Edge smiled and nodded, saying, "Since the Elder Gu has spoken, let's begin the trade fair. According to the rules, newcomers should state their needs first."
Upon hearing this, everyone else turned their gaze toward Lu Qingshan and the Master of Stone Steps.
Of the more than twenty powerful individuals present, only these two were newcomers.
Lu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I need special materials from the Universe Ocean, whether it's ores, life forms, or relics—anything novel, I'll buy... Also, I need materials from Universe Ocean creatures; if I don't currently possess them, I'll buy them at a high price. Finally, I need maps of the dangerous areas of the Universe Ocean, especially maps of the Star Ruins and the Sunken Moon Pool..."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
The Wonder, relics, and biological materials are alright, since some powerful individuals can use them for special purposes. But maps... very few forces would sell their maps; these things are far too important.
" Master Xue You, you probably can't buy the map, but everything else is fine."
"The Master of Extended Edge said with a smile."
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "There's nothing you can't buy, it's just a matter of price. If you can offer the core maps of Star Ruins and Sunken Moon Pool, I'd be willing to trade even the Supreme Supreme Treasure for them!"
" The Supreme Supreme Treasure!!" Everyone took a deep breath.
His gaze shifted repeatedly.
If Master Xue You says this, does he possibly possess some Supreme Supreme Treasure?
" Master Xue You, please don't joke around. The Supreme Supreme Treasure extremely precious... I have a piece of ore here that I obtained during my adventure in the Inner Domain of the Star Ruins. It is exceptionally sturdy. Master, please take a look and see if it meets your requirements."
A Universe Master from the Second Reincarnation Era took out a piece of grayish-white ore.
"May I take a closer look?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
"Of course, no problem."
The Universe Master didn't care, and with a flick of his wrist, the ore landed in Lu Qingshan's hand.
A pale green light gleamed in Lu Qingshan's eyes. After a moment, he put down the grayish-white ore and said, "It is indeed a decent item. How about I offer a High-grade Supreme Treasure in return? Any type is fine."
"Any type, even High-grade Soul Supreme Treasure will do?"
The Universe Master looked surprised. "You can!"
Lu Qingshan raised his hand and took out a smooth, round pearl. "If you're willing to trade, you can take it."
"Change it, haha, definitely change it!"
The Universe Master laughed excitedly and quickly put away this Soul Defense Supreme Treasure.
Soul Defense Supreme Treasure are the most precious items; even a high-grade one is extremely valuable...
He had studied this ore for countless eons, but found no information about it, and it couldn't even be used to forge Supreme Treasure, so keeping it was pointless.
" Master Xue You, you are truly magnanimous."
" Master Xue You, that's quite a generous gesture."
After the transaction was completed, everyone spoke in surprise, clearly knowing that the Universe Master had gotten the better deal.
Soon, another powerful figure spoke up.
" Master Xue You, I have some materials from Universe Ocean creatures here, which I prepared when I was researching secret techniques. Do you need them?"
Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was the Master of Bijia from the First Reincarnation Era. "I need to take a look first."
"Please proceed, sir."
Lu Qingshan quickly reviewed the materials, eliminating duplicates, and found that there were approximately one hundred million usable ones.
He said, "I want all these biological materials of yours, excluding the duplicates. You can exchange them for any type of High-grade Supreme Treasure, or Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon and armor."
Do you have top-tier dual hammers?
The Master of Bijia quickly asked.
" Master of Bijia, you have armor but don't want dual hammers? These are special High-grade Supreme Treasure, their value is even greater than Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapons, right?" a Universe Master laughed.
The Master of Bijia shook his head. "These materials are of little use to me. It's already quite good that we can exchange them for a Top-tier Supreme Treasure. We can't let Master Xue You suffer too much of a loss."
"Don't worry about me being taken advantage of; I've already negotiated all the prices I quoted."
Lu Qingshan shook his head, then said, "Coincidentally, I have a suitable Supreme Treasure here."
As he spoke, he took out the twin hammers he had previously crafted for the Master of Azure Rock and handed them to the Master of Bijia.
After the Master of Bijia acknowledged him as his master, he showed a surprised expression. Suddenly, he stood up, bowed to Lu Qingshan, and said, " Master Xue You, I've taken advantage of you greatly."
"It's alright." Lu Qingshan didn't seem to care.
The Master of Bijia looked at the others and said, "The twin hammers, Top-tier Supreme Treasure given to me by Master Xue You, are the finest among Top-tier Supreme Treasure. Their value surpasses that of many Top-tier Supreme Treasure Armor. Master Xue You is giving away freebies, so if you have anything good, don't keep it to yourself..."
Upon hearing this, everyone had no further doubts and took out the treasures that Lu Qingshan needed.
Even those who hadn't initially intended to exchange were now tempted, since no one would want to miss an opportunity to make money for free.
" Master Xue You, I have several rare treasures from the Universe Ocean here."
" Master Xue You, I don't have many materials here. See if you can use any of them."
"Master, take a look at my..."
The items that these high-level Universe Master could offer were naturally not ordinary goods, and Lu Qingshan accepted them all without hesitation, paying a premium for each one.
As one Supreme Treasure after another was scattered, even the Master of Stone Steps was terrified. If he didn't know the true strength of Master Xue You, he probably would have already been planning to sneak away.
Master Xue You has flaunted far too much wealth!
Displaying wealth at this kind of trade fair is hardly a wise choice. "Could it be...?"
The Master of Stone Steps glanced discreetly at the others, whose expressions varied, and revealed a strange thought.
"Is Master Xue You planning to fish?"
Master Xue You could instantly kill even Level 8 Star Demon. All the people present combined probably wouldn't be a Master Xue You for him.
"Who is Master Xue You's target? Could it be Master of Extended Edge? The master has shown great interest in the Holy Land Universe before..."
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
After all, the Master of Extended Edge has a very good reputation and has never made a mistake in a long time.
At that very moment, the voice urging the trade fair to begin rang out again.
" Master Xue You is indeed generous. I have a Wonder here; I wonder if you would be willing to accept it..."
These Wonder naturally belong to the category of wondrous treasures in the Universe Ocean.
"Receive!"
Lu Qingshan looked at the Old- looking old man. He had learned about the man from the Master of Stone Steps: True God Guyuan.
The old guy from the First Reincarnation Era.
"I wonder what True God Guyuan requires in exchange?"
Lu Qingshan asked slowly.
Guyuan reached out and took out a broken branch. The branch was the size of a mountain peak, and a grayish-white aura of destruction flowed from the broken end.
Looking at this Wonder, he smiled and said, "This is a treasure I obtained when I almost perished in a dangerous place in the Universe Ocean. Later, when I acquired the Supreme Supreme Treasure, I discarded it. Master Xue You should know the value of this Wonder. I need ten Peak Supreme Treasure, not ordinary types like weapons and armor. I wonder if Master Xue You can provide them?"
After saying this, True God Guyuan revealed a playful expression.
A look of curiosity appeared in the eyes of the Master of Extended Edge.
As for the other Universe Master, they couldn't help but take a deep breath upon hearing the offer.
Ten Peak Supreme Treasure, not even including weapons and armor—this price is outrageous! Keep in mind that many of them only possess a single, most ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon.
Ten supreme Peak Supreme Treasure of the highest special type are enough to arm all the powerful members of an entire clan.
The price is clearly too high. But in Lu Qingshan's opinion, the price is not only not high, but actually too low.
In his Universe Ocean, the value of Wonder would be far greater. Only special, top-tier Peak Supreme Treasure like the Mad Demon God-Destroying Armor would qualify for such an exchange, and even then, it would be multiple items for one.
When the Black Universe Founder made his exchange with me, he used three special-type Peak Supreme Treasure, the Heart of the Earth, and biological materials... If he could have gotten it for ten ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure, the Black Universe Founder would probably be laughing in his sleep.
However, in this Universe Ocean dimension, the probability of encountering Supreme Supreme Treasure is very high. Even True God possess Supreme Supreme Treasure, greatly diminishing the value of Wonder. On the contrary, Peak Supreme Treasure and Top-tier Supreme Treasure are extremely scarce. Super powers like the Sea Race Alliance and the Primal Universe cannot even gather enough materials for a single Top-Tier Soul Defense Supreme Treasure.
Lu Qingshan discovered that becoming a middleman between the two realms seemed like a pretty good business.
He smiled slightly and, under everyone's gaze, slowly took out one Peak Supreme Treasure after another.
" Peak Domain Supreme Treasure, Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, Peak Flight Supreme Treasure, Peak Sealing Supreme Treasure..."
Besides the Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, Lu Qingshan took out two or three of each.
Upon seeing these treasures, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, and even the Master of Extended Edge couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even the True God Guyuan looked somewhat taken aback.
" Master Xue You, are you sure you want to trade these for me?" he asked to confirm.
"If we don't exchange them, do you think I'm joking with you by offering these treasures?" Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and these Peak Supreme Treasure landed in front of True God Guyuan.
A struggle flashed in True God Guyuan's eyes before he finally tossed away the Wonder tree branch in his hand.
Lu Qingshan caught it, glanced at it, and put it away. He then asked again.
Are there any other people who want to trade with me?
