Chapter 398 Ch 398: Buying Treasures
After the treasury opened, Ling Xiaolong, Lin Weiwei, and Elder Mo finally stepped into the true treasury.
The treasures within the vault were resplendent, emitting layers of magnificent light that were enough to bedazzle anyone.
Elder Mo, Mo Yuan, explained, "The treasures you see here are exceptionally valuable. They are not meant to be displayed to the public or passengers on board. These treasures are all designated for sale in various lands. Even if VIPs wish to purchase any of these treasures, they must wait until we reach a land to offload them from the ship."
"However, we are making an exception solely for you, Brother Ling Xiaolong. This is primarily due to the extraordinary value of the treasure you've presented, compelling us to break our own rules. Brother Ling Xiaolong, feel free to take whatever you desire. Of course, the value of the treasures you choose must not exceed the value of the Dry Leaf."
"Just inform me of the calculated value for the Dry Leaf," Ling Xiaolong inquired.
"We've determined the Dry Leaf's value to be equivalent to 500 billion Mystic Crystals. Adding the value of the Luminous Essence Crystals, we'll offer you a total of 510 billion Mystic Crystals." Elder Mo conveyed.
He then gestured towards the treasures and continued, "The treasures you see here, each one holds a value in the tens of billions. Some of them alone cost more than a hundred billion Mystic Crystals. The least expensive item here is priced at 15 billion Mystic Crystals."
Ling Xiaolong nodded in understanding. By now, he was aware that Mystic Crystals served as the currency throughout the Chaos. Obtained mainly in the Mystic Realms, they earned their name from this association. Aside from that, there was no mystery or hidden meaning to their name.
While 500 billion Mystic Crystals constituted a substantial sum, exchanging them for various treasures could swiftly deplete such a considerable amount of money.
Ling Xiaolong nodded his head and started looking around. There are simply too many treasures stored here. No wonder the treasure vault has so many levels and each level was protected by so many powerful experts. Even Masters of Chaos were stationed at the entrance of the second and third gates with the purpose of guarding the vault.
It had to be said that the treasures in the treasure vault were really rare. No wonder they were put here. It is because they were safe here, unlike the treasures in the trading area.
A few moments later, Ling Xiaolong found many treasures that he could use for his cultivation. These treasures all contained a larger amount of Celestial Energy and together, they were enough to allow Ling Xiaolong to successfully advance.
"Eh?"
All of a sudden, Ling Xiaolong saw a blood-red red jade. The jade contained a terrifying violent energy.
If the violent power in this jade could be unleashed, it would be enough to severely injure a peak Celestial Sovereign.
"This jade stone is..." Ling Xiaolong turned to look at Elder Mo.
After discovering this jade stone, Ling Xiaolong realized that there was a pile of such jades behind it.
Elder Mo explained without holding back, as if there was nothing to hide from Ling Xiaolong. He said, "This jade is called Fiery Wildflower Jade. It comes from the Land of Wildflowers. This Land is uninhabitable because of various reasons. We obtained these Fiery Wildflower Jade by luck from that Land. In order to obtain them, our three Peak Celestial Sovereigns were heavily injured. If not for the quick action of a respected Master of Chaos, those three and others would have died even before they could bring any Fiery Wildflower Jade from that dead Land."
There was not just a single jade, there were many Fiery Wildflower Jades, about ten of them. Each one of them holds an unreasonable amount of energy. The only negative side of these Fiery Wildflower Jades is their violent energy. The energy was so violent that absorbing them was almost impossible.
However, Ling Xiaolong was different. He had his own ways to absorb the energy from Fiery Wildflower Jades. So he immediately decided to take all of the Fiery Wildflower Jade.
Each Fiery Wildflower Jade was priced at 20 Billion Mystic Crystals. There were 10 of them. Just these Fiery Wildflower Jades alone could make Ling Xiaolong spend 200 billion Mystic Crystals.
But Ling Xiaolong did not regret this decision. He bought them without hesitation.
Elder Mo gave Ling Xiaolong ten Fiery Wildflower Jades and spoke, "You have already spent 200 Billion Mystic Crystals. You now have 310 Billion Mystic Crystals worth of treasures."
It was not just Elder Mo, even Lin Weiwei was surprised by Ling Xiaolong's decision.
They had to put the Fiery Wildflower Jades inside treasure because they indeed are very rare to come by. They also have many functions and are mainly used to craft weapons by Weapon Craftsmen.
However, absorbing the violent energy is simply impossible.
Ling Xiaolong had clearly told them that he wanted treasures that could improve his cultivation base.
Then why was he buying these unabsorbable Fiery Wildflower Jades?
Anyway, this had nothing to them. It was fine if Ling Xiaolong wanted to waste his money. What does it have to do with them?
In the end, they will profit from Ling Xiaolong's meaningless purchase.
From this purchase alone, they managed to keep 200 Billion Mystic Crystals worth of true rare crystals safe.
In these merchant's eyes, this was all profit.
Ling Xiaolong kept the Fiery Wildflower Jades and started looking at other treasures, completely ignoring Elder Mo's words that sounded more like a reminder of his wealth.
After that, Ling Xiaolong chose three treasures. They were Celestial Essence Fruit, Saint Light Celestial Fruit, and Golden Immortal Honey.
The Celestial Essence Fruit was priced at 50 Billion Mystic Crystals. Saint Light Fruit was bought by Ling Xiaolong after spending 80 Billion Mystic Crystals.
As for the Golden Immortal Honey, it cost Ling Xiaolong almost his entire fortune. It was priced at 160 Billion Mystic Crystals.
Now, he was left with just 20 Billion Mystic Crystals.
After that, no matter what Elder Mo said, Ling Xiaolong said that he would keep the remaining 20 Billion Mystic Crystals with him, and he would no longer purchase anything.
Seeing that Ling Xiaolong didn't want to buy anything more, Elder Mo sighed and no longer forced Ling Xiaolong to buy something. He simply gave all the treasures Ling Xiaolong purchased and also gave him the remaining amount.
After buying all the things he needed to buy, Ling Xiaolong decided to leave and rest for a while.
.....
Outside the treasury...
Lin Weiwei said, "Sir Ling Xiaolong, I'll bring you to the VIP area. The villa in the VIP area had a special training chamber. The materials used to build the walls of that chamber are the same as those used to make the body of this merchant flying ship. It is enough to withstand a single strike from the Master of Chaos above the 10th Level. Therefore, you can cultivate in the secret chamber without worrying about causing any damage."
Ling Xiaolong's eyes lit up. He had obtained so many treasures this time, and with the help of the treasures he had accumulated in the Land of Luminous Essence, he was preparing to cultivate and increase his strength. He will do this for as long as he is on this ship. When this ship lands, he can stop cultivating.
Now that he knew that the cultivation chamber in the VIP area's villa was sufficient to withstand a single strike from such a powerful expert, Ling Xiaolong felt relieved.
He nodded and agreed.
.....
In the VIP area...
Lin Weiwei brought Ling Xiaolong to the villa and chatted with him for a while before turning around and leaving. Lin Weiwei did not notice that there were a few shadows sticking their heads out not far away. After she left, these shadows also disappeared.
Ling Xiaolong, on the other hand, noticed these shadows and couldn't help but frown.
In the end, Ling Xiaolong did not pay any attention to them and closed the door.
In another villa in the VIP area, a young man with a gloomy face was listening to his subordinates' reports. His expression was incomparably gloomy.
"That woman, Lin Weiwei, never gave me a good look. I thought she was some kind of chaste woman, but I didn't expect her to be a bitch. She was talking and laughing to a foreign man. What does she think I am?"
The young man flew into a rage.
Lackey One hurriedly said, "That's right. That Lin Weiwei is a slut. Putting aside a genius like you for a foreign man is truly shameless."
Ling Xiaolong and Lin Weiwei had only exchanged a few words, but under Lackey One's words, it became like they were having some kind of adultery. It could be seen that Lackey only knew how to exaggerate the truth and was not a good person.
