Chapter 424: Chapter 297: Epic Three Stars, Ashen King’s Bone (6K)

Mu Yuan, like a bandit, had cleaned out the goods brought by the Mysterious Merchant.

This is an exaggeration, but not entirely so.

He had bought more than half of the merchandise.

Indeed, the goods brought by the Mysterious Merchant were not plentiful or refined. Perhaps a financially capable Great Lord could have emptied the inventory as well… right?

Mu Yuan carefully inspected the merchandise in front of him, the most valuable of which was The Hero’s Proof.

Next was the ‘Concealing Pearl’ which could be used permanently and possessed top-notch utility.

He had not initially considered The Hero’s Proof as a must-buy, but now, with an equivalent exchange not lacking and plenty of ‘money,’ he decisively made the purchase.

He also directly acquired the Misfortune Charm Flower, which he had not planned to buy at first.

He even bought several ‘100% series’ items for Isloa to study.

He also purchased two Soul Remnants — an Excellence One-star Black Knight and an Excellence One-star Rocky Giant.

As for High-order Soul Remnants like the Flame Demon and Jackal Man Chieftain, which were too expensive, Mu Yuan ignored them, as his money didn’t come from the wind.

“There are 5 Spatial Shift Scrolls, which can be called life-saving divine items. As long as the enemy doesn’t possess the ability to lock down space, the user can even escape from under the nose of Legendary beings.”

“Three sets of small energy storage stones. These energy storage stones contain vast energy; while they can’t be used for cultivation, they can power various facilities. A set of energy storage stones can ensure that the Staff of Divine Right, which maintains the Large-scale Magic ‘Night Illusory Curtain’ day and night, doesn’t have to worry about any energy consumption for 10 days.”

“A one-time-use Enchantment base ‘Holy Barrier’ that can form a complete protective barrier over a territory, without dead angles above and below ground. This barrier can even withstand several attacks from Legendary beings. Regrettably, this set of enchantments is consumable and can only be maintained for a few hours.”

Besides these, Mu Yuan had bought many treasures for cultivation.

‘Baptism Rain (Special): Troops that bathe in this rain will gain a small amount of Soul Power experience.’

‘Bone Tempering Crystal Dust (Excellence): A natural treasure that significantly improves one’s bone strength after refining and absorbing.’

‘Body Refining King Fruit (Excellence): A natural treasure that, once consumed, significantly boosts one’s physique and muscular strength; however, some special life forms may not be suitable for its use.’

‘Three Dimensional Keystone (Excellence): After refining and absorption, it can slightly improve one’s three dimensions, suitable for any life form.’

‘Divine Radiance Crystal Core (Excellence): Absorption grants a large amount of Soul Power experience.’

All these were treasures of Excellence order; though a single item’s value couldn’t compare with that of The Hero’s Proof or High-order Soul Remnants, they were plentiful in quantity.

Seeing this noble guest sweep clean his inventory, Qiye could hardly keep from grinning ear to ear.

However,

“The goods here aren’t plentiful enough.”

If it had been any other Lord who said this, Qiye would have had to retort, but since it was Lord Shepherd who made the suggestion, Qiye could only agree: You’re absolutely right.

He saw that this guest was indeed not satisfied, looking troubled by having money but nowhere to spend it.

And he felt troubled too.

If he still had suitable goods, wouldn’t his performance continually soar?

Lord Shepherd wasn’t so wealthy that he had money with no place to spend it; it was more like he was taking advantage of a situation, spending more freely.

No, how could the crowdfunding effort be considered taking advantage? The Feather of Wind King and the Bone of Grey Silence were genuine treasures, and in the short term, Jun and ‘Bone Two’ wouldn’t be able to gather another batch of such by-products.

But he was indeed not quite satisfied.

He could afford to spend now, but the Mysterious Merchant didn’t have the most necessary items for him.

“How come you don’t have any defensive fortress arrays here?”

This was what the Tianyuan Territory urgently needed at the moment. Of course, a real defensive fortress array was a rare commodity, not even present in Shiling Town or many great territories.

For a defensive fortress array to operate continuously, the energy consumption is terrifying, and it requires supporting facilities like an ‘Energy Well.’

For the vast majority of territories, setting up a defensive fortress array? That’s a luxury.

With that kind of money, you could buy how many High-order Soul Remnants and cultivate how many powerful beings.

“A defensive fortress array, you say? That’s no problem, I can arrange that for you the next time I come over,” the Mysterious Merchant said.

From the Mysterious Merchant’s demeanor, it seemed that Mu Yuan was now a VIP customer, which was why he received special treatment and could pre-order certain types of goods.

But Mu Yuan not only wanted a defensive fortress array, if he could choose, he would specify ‘an array with hiding capabilities, capable of concealing his entire territory.’

“That’s a bit difficult, our Mysterious Merchant Alliance naturally has all kinds of goods, but there are rules limiting what can be taken out for sale, we can only see what’s available at the time…”

So he said.

And he mentioned that the price of ‘pre-ordered goods’ would be 50% to 100% higher than normally stocked ‘random goods,’ and that the number of pre-ordered items could not exceed two.

This was also a rule.

Whether the rules were as such or the Mysterious Merchant was a shrewd trader, Mu Yuan thought it was acceptable. Compared to the price, his concern was whether he could acquire the items he urgently needed.

So, he pre-ordered another item from the Mysterious Merchant — Miracle Blueprints for the Energy Well.

Just waiting for the Merchant to restock and visit again.

“When will you be coming next, Lord Qiye?”
