Chapter 223: Mental Power: 17

Chapter 223: Mental Power: 17

Oddity!

Storage Space!

The mention of storage space caused a stir among the attendees, their expressions shifting as they considered the implications.

In this world, without the existence of wizardry, crafting spatial equipment was naturally impossible, and any such items would have been left behind from the Great Cataclysm.

For example, the ring on Mashi's finger was a special piece of spatial equipment, capable of storing numerous items.

However...

While spatial equipment was rare, the seashell that Karl presented had a limited internal space, making it less valuable.

Therefore, it wasn't considered exceptionally rare.

"I want one," Mashi spoke up, "Three Divine Marrow."

Although she already possessed a piece of spatial equipment, one could never have too many of these items, especially since she understood their benefits firsthand.

The others remained silent, implicitly agreeing not to compete with her.

"Very well," Karl nodded, accepting the trade for three Divine Marrow.

Essence +0.1

+0.1

+0.1

...

Divine Marrow could be used as fuel for the Divine Flame, prolonging its existence, and also assist Divine Envoys in their cultivation.

It was quite normal to carry it around.

"I want one too," Sam spoke, "Three Divine Marrow."

"Sam," Yun Si interjected, "You're on your own, so you won't need this. Why not let us have it?"

"How won't I need it?" Sam frowned, "A person needs to carry some common supplies. You have a Phantom City for storage, but I can only carry mine with me."

"Ahem..." Karl coughed lightly, "The highest bidder wins."

It was clear that the person from the Collapse Divine Realm lacked experience in trading, so he had to remind them.

Yun San made a quick decision, "Four Divine Marrow!"

"..." Sam narrowed his eyes, thinking for a moment before speaking softly, "Five Divine Marrow!"

With this statement, the others fell silent, and the auction came to an abrupt end. While they could offer five Divine Marrow, it wasn't worth it.

The space was too small, barely sufficient for one person, and inadequate for storing supplies for a Phantom City.

Essence +0.5

Karl smiled and agreed to the trade, then waved his sleeve again, and a lifelike Bone Dragon appeared on the table.

"This is a Flying Wonder, crafted from the remains of a long serpent with 'Dragon Bloodline,'" he explained.

"It possesses a faint Dragon Aura."

He snapped his fingers, and the Bone Dragon rose into the air, breaking through the roof, transforming into a nearly hundred-meter-long dragon that circled in the sky.

"Roar!"

The silent roar echoed directly in their minds, allowing the Divine Envoys to sense the faint Dragon Aura Karl had mentioned.

Having just been promoted to Divine Envoys, they were greatly affected.

Moreover, the Bone Dragon could release mist to conceal its size and aura, appearing as a floating cloud in the sky.

"This Bone Dragon can carry people, up to two hundred at a time, but it requires Divine Stones or Divine Marrow to operate."

Karl elaborated, "The minimum price is ten Divine Marrow, and I won't accept less. Now, please place your bids!"

"Thirteen Divine Marrow," Mashi spoke first, "Everyone, the Flower Ship needs this wonder."

With the strength displayed by the Bone Dragon, it was comparable to a mid-tier Divine Envoy, and it was the kind that never aged or died.

Moreover,

it could carry over two hundred people, and with a few trips, it could evacuate an entire Phantom City.

"Divine Envoy Mashi, the Flower Ship can already fly. You don't need it as much as I do. Please let me have it," Hadis said.

"I'll offer fifteen Divine Marrow!"

His expression was twisted, and his hands clenched with veins popping out.

If he had this wonder back then, he wouldn't have had to abandon the people in his Phantom City, and more lives could have been saved.

"Divine Envoy Hadis, you've already joined Karl's Phantom City. Getting this won't help you. It's better to give it to us," Yun San said, his breathing heavy.

"I'll offer eighteen Divine Marrow!"

Sam raised his hand.

"Twenty!" Mashi said through gritted teeth.

"Let's see who can top that."

The room fell silent.

The others exchanged glances.

While they weren't afraid of Mashi's strength, they knew that the Flower Ship was the most extravagant.

"Agreed!"

Karl nodded, "Twenty Divine Marrow, and if no one offers more, the deal is done."

Essence +2!

"Magic Carpet!"

"It can carry five to six people, with average flight capabilities. One Divine Marrow each."

"I'll take ten!"

...

"Healing Potion, it can repair mental damage and enhance resistance to demonic corruption."

"The ingredients for this potion are extinct, so the price is one Divine Marrow per bottle."

Soon after,

Karl bid farewell to the others with a smile, and with a flick of his fingers, all the Divine Marrow transformed into Essence, which he converted into mental power.

Mental Power: 16

16.1!

16.2

...

17.1!

"Boom!"

The mental sea roiled with energy, and the spell circuits flashed rapidly.

"Awesome!"

Karl's eyes lit up with excitement.

"It's a pity that there are only a few of us, and I've already informed everyone that I need a large amount of Divine Marrow, but there won't be much to squeeze out of them."

"But..."

"As long as we make a name for ourselves, more Divine Envoys will come, and we can obtain more Divine Marrow."

With Divine Marrow, one could rapidly improve their cultivation.

So, of course, he supported Mashi's suggestion, but the Collapse Divine Realm's message channels were too few and too slow.

Without offering enough incentives, these few people might not be willing to exert themselves.

"Next..."

"It's up to you now!"

"I never imagined that High Priest Karl would have so many good things on him; he's like a treasure trove."

After leaving the trading event, Hadis received Mashi's invitation and once again boarded the Flower Ship. As he sat down, he sighed:

"With Divine Marrow, you can even trade for the method to create reservoirs and the seeds of Earth-Fattening Silkworms from him."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Yes!" Mashi's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"It's a pity I have so little Divine Marrow on me; otherwise, I'd definitely get a few more things."

Wings that could increase flight speed, potions to conceal one's form, crystals that allowed direct insight into techniques...

All sorts of rare items were taken out by Karl, dazzling and overwhelming.

As for the seeds of the Earth-Fattening Silkworms, she didn't consider acquiring them since the silkworms still had defects.

The method to create reservoirs was too expensive.

She couldn't afford it at the moment.

What truly piqued her interest were the magic carpet and the Flying Wonder that could carry people, including their refining methods.

"Among us, Flower Ship is the richest, and even you think the Divine Marrow is insufficient. The others can only look on with envy." Hadis smiled wryly.

"To be honest, High Priest Karl has already squeezed all the Divine Marrow from me."

"No way!"

He thought for a moment and clenched his teeth.

"I need to make a trip. I'll go to Gris and see if I can convince him to move the Phantom City over here."

"If not..."

"I'll make him come here!"

Hadis believed that once Gris saw the situation here, he would definitely agree to bring the people of the Phantom City.

"Mmm."

Mashi slowly nodded.

"I'll also make a trip. High Priest Kent's Divine Flame in the Phantom City is struggling to last, so he should agree to come."

"The Divine Gift..."

"I regret letting High Priest Karl come into contact with the Divine Gift. Otherwise, we could have exchanged it for something else."

She sighed helplessly.

At today's trading event, Karl directly stated that insights into the Divine Gift could be exchanged for five Divine Marrows.

Of course,

These five Divine Marrows weren't actually given but could be exchanged for other items.

Five of them!

That wasn't a small number.

The techniques gained from insights into the Divine Gift could also be exchanged, but at most, they could only be traded for three Divine Marrows.

"Be careful!"

Hadis spoke up.

"The Fallen Angel might still be nearby."

"Yes."

Mashi nodded.

"I'll find a way to avoid it."

The same went for Yun Si, Sam, and Yun San.

They gathered to discuss inviting other Divine Envoys from the Phantom City to come here.

Karl had made a promise to them.

If Divine Envoys introduced by them purchased items with Divine Marrow from Karl, he would give them a ten percent commission.

Ten percent might not seem like much, but if converted into food, it would be enough to sustain the Phantom City's people for a period.

This was a tangible benefit.

Two months later.

"High Priest Karl!"

Yun Si rushed over, his face filled with anxiety.

"I just received news that Yun Lou Phantom City encountered demonic beings on their way here. I hope you can help."

"Oh!"

Karl, who was in the Nurture Room examining John's experimental results, turned around upon hearing this. After some thought, he put down his work.

"How far is it?"

"About two hundred li from here."

"Two hundred li?"

Karl pondered briefly and nodded.

"Alright, I'll go take a look."

The two of them rose into the air, led by Yun Si, and flew towards the location where Yun Lou Phantom City had sent out a distress signal.

"Swoosh!"

"Crackle..."

Two figures appeared in the air, one in front of the other.

In front of them, a massive cloud floated, with several flying demonic beings frantically attacking it.

Yun Lou Phantom City was that cloud.

Through the dispersing cloud, one could vaguely see the silhouettes of people inside and occasionally hear their screams.

"Third Brother!"

Yun Si roared and charged forward.

Karl's gaze, however, was fixed on a demonic being among them—a Fallen Angel. His fingers twitched, and his expression changed abruptly.

The Fallen Angel!

He abruptly turned around, and the Buddha Illusion appeared, blasting towards the rear.

"Boom!"

Amidst the collision, Karl's figure retreated violently.
