The Ancient Church of Truth Seeking, the Thirteen Heavenly Realms, Divine Authorities, [Mortal Fetus Astral Realm]
Upon hearing this, the newly Middle Tier dwarf immediately fell silent.
With his current wealth, he would struggle to produce even 10 Second Tier extraordinary crystals, let alone hundreds just for a single meal.
The last group was led by Fogem into the offline extraordinary resource trading market, where he said as they walked, "This is the largest Second Tier extraordinary resource trading market in the southern part of the entire Sparse Star Domain."
"Look, many of these are unique resources produced by the Thirteen Heavenly Realms of the Ancient Church of Truth Seeking."
The team walked along, scanning the market for fragments of artifacts, metal ores, broken tools, and shattered stone slabs displayed on both sides.
Those things that truly have a clear purpose are basically invisible; these are the only things that can be displayed offline.
Just like the two earth-elemental treasures their team encountered—two pieces of spiritual soil and tiles imbued with the aura of laws—they wouldn't come to this kind of offline trading market, but would be traded through a trading platform.
Although there are some extra transaction fees, it also saves a lot of trouble. To ensure the authenticity of the items, no one would try to get a bargain in a Second Tier resource transaction.
So people come here mainly to browse and see if there's anything they like; everyone is hoping to find a bargain.
Fogem, who was walking at the front, also quickly scanned the various broken pieces displayed in the shops on both sides.
Suddenly, a piece of metal caught his attention.
Judging from his skill in forging extraordinary artifacts over the years, it was very likely a fragment of a Middle Tier three or higher weapon, and it was extremely compatible with his natal weapon, the Thunderfire Warhammer.
Thinking of this, a shrewd look flashed across Fogem's broad face. He then walked into the store and pretended to browse around, examining the items carefully.
After some back and forth, they finally decided to buy it first.
"Alas, this powerful dwarf, I truly cannot argue with you. However, this fragment is highly likely to be a weapon fragment of a god who holds the power of forging. Even this small piece of metal has reached the Middle Tier third grade, and it would sell for no less than 1500 outside. The price you offered is too low."
But when the shop owner saw Fogem get up and leave, and Fogg didn't even say whether he wanted it or not, but went straight to the other side to look at the same weapon fragments, it immediately made Fogg a little anxious.
Finally, with a pained expression, he agreed, "I'll sell it to you at a loss this time, consider it making friends."
Amidst the admiring gazes of his fellow team members, Fogem purchased the weapon fragment for 1000 Tier Second Tier crystals.
The Elf Race girl asked with some confusion, "Captain Fogem, even if this weapon fragment were sold as extraordinary metal, it should be worth the price the shopkeeper mentioned, right?"
Fogem put away the fragment, glanced at the shop owner who was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, and led his team forward until they entered the sound isolation zone before he explained.
"If it were just a simple piece of Second Tier extraordinary metal, then it would indeed have this value, but as you see..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a palm-sized fragment of weapon, its surface covered with flame-colored runes arranged in a geometric pattern, and it even retained some of the characteristics of being forged.
"These are caused by the corruption of the laws and authority possessed by the gods of the Ancient Church of Truth Seeking Cult."
"If you take it to a specialized recycling center, the recycling fee would probably be more than 500 second-grade low-level crystals. Only someone like me, who has mastered forging techniques and is extremely compatible with this kind of law authority, would find it somewhat useful."
"Even if others bought it for 1000 yuan, it would be a useless item."
As the group listened to Captain Fogem's eloquent explanation, they also gained their own understanding of the trading market.
Finally, the group arrived at the official store of the Human Federation. The first floor was also filled with various broken fragments, but this time they went directly to the second floor, where complete Second Tier, first-level treasures were stored.
As soon as everyone entered, they felt a powerful Formation Domain covering them, and on the rooftop, there was even the Supreme Yin Divine Light of a lunar artifact orbiting the planet, which seemed to have been obtained from somewhere.
Even though the Supreme Yin Divine Light shining on their bodies didn't cause any specific harm, it was enough to make them feel like they were being watched by a terrifying being at all times, and they dared not touch the Second Tier, first-level extraordinary items that were displayed and wrapped in array restrictions.
A puppet attendant, seeing the guests arrive, immediately began explaining to them.
"Gentlemen, this floor contains seven unique and complete Second Tier Level 1 extraordinary items produced by the Ancient Church of Truth Seeking."
"At the same time, our Human Federation also sells Second Tier Level 1 Extraordinary Interstellar Warships, Second Tier Level 1 [Emotion-Dispelling Mist-Breaking Yin Radiance Lamp] which can effectively resist the interference of Dark Universe Chaos emotional energy, and Second Tier Level 1 Mechanical Puppets."
The puppet servant then led Fogem and his group of six to explain in detail the function and origin of each extraordinary item.
They arrived at the edge of a fish tank-like object, where a floating space was faintly visible, with several metal platforms placed inside.
"After careful tracing, this artifact has been confirmed to be an item from within the [Mortal Fetus Astral Realm]."
"The technological civilization within utilizes extremely advanced spatial technology to carve out a large space. According to our current detection, it can hold 1000 cubic meters. Compared to a storage bag that starts at 100,000 low-grade extraordinary crystals and only has one cubic meter of space, it can be described as an essential item for home and travel."
After taking a look, everyone saw that the item was priced at 19,999, which was indeed much cheaper than a storage bag, and it also had much more space.
However, the six people present who were able to advance to the Middle Tier were certainly not fools.
Something so cheap and with so much storage space, if it hasn't sold yet, it probably has some fatal flaw.
So, the somewhat curious elf girl asked the puppet servant, "What's wrong with this spatial equipment? Why isn't anyone buying it?"
The puppet servant answered methodically, "Based on current experimental data, the use and storage of this spatial equipment must be carried out in an area free from extraordinary laws. Otherwise, it is highly likely to cause instability in the internal space, thereby triggering a spatial storm and tearing apart the 1000 cubic meter space it occupies."
Upon hearing this, the crowd's initial interest waned considerably.
Carrying this item also requires purchasing equipment to isolate the extraordinary laws, making it extremely inconvenient to use. If the isolation equipment is damaged during a fight, it will cause the laws to leak, making it a ticking time bomb.
None of the people present had the spare money to buy such a thing.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the puppet servant spoke again.
"If any of you are interested in purchasing, our Human Federation offers another solution. If you do purchase, we can request the Federation's Supreme Councilor Great Perfected Heavenly River, to specially create a space stabilizer to prevent it from being affected by the transcendent laws."
