Chapter 104: Orange-Quality Pure Yang Sword Pills

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the few disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect already regretted it.

To be able to bring them from the Eastern Divine Continent to this unknown place so quietly, how could the Marketplace of All Realms be anything but extraordinary? But it was too late. In the Free Market Zone, Song Chi, transformed into a vampire, willed the power of the secret realm's laws to gather rapidly in the sky, eventually coalescing into a golden dragon dozens of meters long.

Roar!

The illusory golden dragon let out a long cry, and under the gaze of over a thousand star sea races, the few disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect simultaneously weakened.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Without exception, all eight of them knelt at the entrance to the marketplace, like eight guardian deities, which made the star sea races watching them struggle to hold back their laughter.

However, while these star sea races seemed unaffected, the pressure from the golden dragon above was very real for the eight disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under this terrifying pressure, each of them felt as if they were carrying a mountain of ten thousand pounds, making it hard for them to breathe and causing their bones to crack. Under such oppressive force, they couldn't even summon their inner magic, let alone think of resistance.

At this moment, another spatial ripple appeared outside the marketplace entrance, and another figure emerged.

It turned out that the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciple who had stayed outside saw that his fellow disciples had not returned for a long time and rushed through the spatial gate.

After scanning the rule-light barrier at the entrance, and knowing his fellow disciples' personalities, he instantly deduced what had happened.

He quickly walked through the marketplace gate, his gaze sweeping over the crowd of onlookers before finally settling on the illusory golden dragon in the sky.

"Fellow disciples acted improperly, disrupting the rules of the marketplace. We are willing to offer compensation. Please forgive our unintentional offense!"

With that, he slapped his waist pouch, and nine rays of light shot out, forming nine piles of silver sand on the stone ground in front of him.

This disciple was quick-witted and had grasped the essence of the Free Market Zone's barter system. Instead of using the spirit stones common in the Primal Continent, he offered a valuable mineral resource, recognizing that spirit stones might not be accepted here.

Moreover, he included himself among the offenders, offering his own compensation, thus lowering his stance to the utmost.

From a distance, Song Chi's gaze swept over the nine piles of silver sand.

Moonlight Silver Sand, a rare resource often used in mechanical creations, was valued at about 10 strands of first-tier Floating Land Essence per ton in the Dawn Star Principality's market.

The nine piles of sand in front of him, each weighing exactly one ton, were equivalent to 900 strands of zero-tier Floating Land Essence.

After a moment's consideration, he willed the illusory golden dragon to let out another soft cry, and the secret realm's laws condensed a single word in the sky.

"Agreed."

This word, formed by the power of the laws, was instantly understood by all beings in the marketplace with just a glance.

The reason for his agreement was simple.

First, these people had only prepared to act but had not actually harmed anyone.

Second, since the opening of the marketplace, this was the first time he had encountered "human" beings, and his curiosity about them was significant, so he was reluctant to drive them away.

The power of the laws in the sky quickly dissipated, and the oppressive force on the eight blushing, kneeling disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect vanished. They finally managed to stand up, though they dared not show any resentment, only a lingering fear.

As the group of disciples looked gratefully at their fellow disciple who had just arrived, many of the star sea races in the Free Market Zone began to approach, including Song Chi in his vampire form.

Their purpose was clear; their gazes were fixed on the waist pouches of the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples.

The scene of the newly arrived disciple collecting nine tons of "Moonlight Silver Sand" was still fresh in their minds, and they could tell that these peculiar pouches were valuable spatial storage devices, just as Song Chi had deduced.

How rare were spatial storage devices? Now that they had seen one, these alien beings naturally felt envious.

Although they couldn't simply snatch it by force, if the price was reasonable, they were certainly willing to buy some.

Noticing that the various alien beings were all staring intently at the storage pouches on their waists, several of the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples instinctively placed their hands on their waists. However, they soon remembered the illusory golden dragon that had appeared earlier and relaxed.

One of the disciples, a Ninth Rank Qi Practitioner, explained, "This is called a storage pouch. It requires our internal mana to open, so you can't use it."

The alien beings didn't understand a word of what he said, but Song Chi wasn't restricted by this language barrier. His brow furrowed instinctively. If this were true, then the value of these storage pouches would be significantly reduced.

Of course, he still held out a sliver of hope. The Younieng or "shadow energy" granted by the Ember Seed had the unique property of being compatible with most forms of energy in the star sea. Perhaps it could replace "mana" as well?

With this thought, the aliens led the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples to the universal translator. After the translation, the aliens learned about the limitations of the storage pouches.

However, they were not convinced by mere words. The Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples took out several unused backup storage pouches and let the aliens try them out.

Relying on the power of the Xu Shi Fa Ze or "Marketplace Rules," Song Chi naturally obtained one of the storage pouches first. He then channeled his shadow energy into the pouch.

After a while, he felt a chill. No matter how much shadow energy he injected, the storage pouch showed no reaction. This meant that shadow energy could not activate the pouch.

Feeling extremely disappointed, he didn't even notice when an alien quickly snatched the pouch from his hand.

Since shadow energy couldn't activate the pouch, its value plummeted. While there were other ways to use it indirectly, they were far more troublesome.

For example, he could keep one of the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples by his side to use the pouch for him. Then, he could acquire a special component to enslave the disciple.

However, this method was fraught with difficulties. First, he would need to find a way to keep a Pure Yang Sword Sect disciple without arousing suspicion. Even more challenging, he would need to obtain a slave-enabling component for his ship.

These components were extremely rare and, when they did appear, were often sought after by Ember Captains nearing the end of their lifespans. These captains would go to great lengths to obtain such components because they allowed them to enslave a vampire in advance, greatly reducing the risk of the vampire taking control after the initial embrace.

Even a white-quality slave component could sell for the price of a top-tier blue ship component, and sometimes even reach the price of a purple component. The premium was staggering, and the market was always in high demand with no supply.

Regaining his composure, Song Chi was about to turn back to the market area when he noticed that the original nine Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples had been reduced to five. Using his god-like perspective, he quickly found the missing four, along with the man named Zhou Ping who had entered the marketplace first.

These five were gathered in the newly opened "Curio Exchange Shop." Zhou Ping was at the back of the shop, while the four Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples stood at the entrance. Having learned from their previous experience, they didn't dare to act, but their intent to surround Zhou Ping was clear.

They were clearly preparing to keep a close eye on Zhou Ping, or rather, on the clearly more advanced storage pouch he held.

Observing this, Song Chi walked back to the market area without showing any emotion, his interest piqued by the scene in the Curio Exchange Shop.

Honestly, he was also curious about the storage pouch Zhou Ping held. According to the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples, the owner of this pouch was someone named "Elder Tianhe."

As a former novel enthusiast, he was well-versed in the role of elders in cultivation sects. In a cultivation sect, an elder was a significant figure. What treasures might be contained in the storage pouch of an elder?

As he pondered, the situation in the Curio Exchange Shop changed. Zhou Ping suddenly raised his right hand, which held the storage pouch, and spoke to the central projection screen:

"I am willing to pay a fee to have this storage pouch opened!"

Elder Tianhe was a newly appointed elder of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, having recently achieved the Nascent Soul stage. Even though he had fallen to the Sword Intent of Transformation, his residual spirit imprint was not something a Qi Practitioner could erase in a short time. Without erasing the previous owner's spirit imprint, the storage pouch could not be opened.

Hearing these words, the four disciples of the Pure Sun Sword Sect behind him suddenly changed their expressions and stepped forward, but they soon remembered their previous encounter and reluctantly stopped in their tracks.

In the Open Bazaar Area, Song Chi’s eyes flickered with an unreadable expression, but he did not rush to respond. He wasn’t that easy to fool.

If they were willing to pay, what exactly was the payment? A piece of iron ore could be payment, and so could a high-grade Stellar Ocean Antiquity, but could they be compared?

With a thought, a line of text appeared on the central projection screen of the Antiquity Exchange Shop.

"Please specify the exact payment."

Zhou Ping’s heart tightened. He checked his possessions and finally took out a fist-sized ore from his storage bag.

Song Chi recognized this ore.

It was Iron Matriarch, a three-hundred-year-old Iron Matriarch, whose value wouldn’t exceed fifty strands of First-Tier Floating Land Essence.

A moment later, a new line of text appeared on the screen.

[The item’s divine Flux is extremely strong, payment insufficient!]

Seeing this, Zhou Ping gritted his teeth and took out two more items from his storage bag, but they still didn’t meet Song Chi’s requirements and were rejected.

After much consideration, Zhou Ping didn’t take out any more items from his storage bag. Before this, he was just a lowly Eighth-Rank Qi Practitioner. What valuable items could he possibly have?

He pointed to the elegant storage bag in his right hand and said, "If you can open this storage bag, I am willing to select one of the five most valuable items inside as payment!"

Song Chi’s eyes paused, and his mind raced as he seriously considered this proposal. A few seconds later, he agreed. After all, it was an elder’s storage bag, and it should contain plenty of good things. Although he didn’t know the exact cultivation level of the Sky River Elder, based on the First-Tier cultivation of the ten people who entered the market, the elder must have been at least a Second-Tier cultivator.

A Second-Tier cultivator’s storage bag shouldn’t contain anything of poor quality.

[Agreed!]

After this response, the five of them felt a mysterious energy start to flow into the shop. Zhou Ping’s storage bag then slowly floated up, and the next second, threads of law power seeped into the bag.

Although Song Chi couldn’t use the storage bag, he could use the law power of the Market Secret Realm to erase the dormant divine soul imprint inside.

When the storage bag returned to Zhou Ping’s hand, he could feel that the divine soul imprint was indeed erased, and his eyes couldn’t hide his joy and excitement.

However, before opening the storage bag, Zhou Ping made one more request.

"Can you let the four people behind me leave first?"

[Agreed!]

With that, a gentle repelling force pushed the four Pure Sun Sword Sect disciples out of the Antiquity Exchange Shop.

After this, Zhou Ping had no more reservations. He surged his mana and infused his spirit into the storage bag, imprinting his own mark on it. Then, he took out all the items inside in one go.

Rustle!

In an instant, the entire Antiquity Exchange Shop was almost filled with items. In the Open Bazaar Area, Song Chi’s shoulders twitched, and he was slightly startled by this sudden commotion.

But the next second, his eyes narrowed sharply as his gaze was drawn to one particular item—a miniature short sword.

What drew his attention to this short sword wasn’t anything else but the intense orange glow emanating from its blade.

Indeed, it was an orange-level Stellar Ocean Antiquity.

As Song Chi focused, the short sword’s attribute panel quickly appeared before his eyes.

PS: Guess what this Pure Sun Sword Pill can be converted into as a ship component.
