Chapter 1597 - 457: The Saint’s Extinction! Fellow Daoist Lu, Do You Really Wish to Shoulder This Karma, Never Resting Until Death? (Part 3)
Zhou Guang raised his head to glance at Lu Changsheng.
What a young and vibrant mind.
Zhou Guang envied him greatly.
Sadly, his own mind was like stagnant water.
Nothing can stir his mind anymore; it gradually fades into silence.
"Friend Zhou Guang."
Lu Changsheng nodded his head.
Zhou Guang didn’t waste any words and directly tossed out a Space Treasure.
"The things Friend Lu wants are all inside. Not only thirteen sets of cultivation resources, but also many other treasures and secondary-level cultivation resources, all given to the friend."
"As for some Chaos Treasures, let them stay in Zhou Guang World; anyway, Friend Lu has the Black Light Tower, so those Chaos Treasures are not worth mentioning."
When Saint Zhou Guang spoke, he seemed lifeless, appearing weak and feeble.
A dignified Chaos being, even having undergone a Life Transition, has ended up in such a state.
Cultivation is difficult.
It’s the same for Chaos beings.
The difference might be that Chaos beings are stronger and live longer.
But when the end inevitably comes, Chaos beings are no different than ordinary people.
Ultimately, they can’t escape death.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the various supplies within the Space Treasure.
He immediately noticed five strands of Hongmeng Qi and eight strands of equivalent-level cultivation resources.
He felt very satisfied.
Zhou Guang looked at Lu Changsheng and slowly said, "I must trouble Friend Lu, let those young ones come to pay their respects to Friend Lu now?"
"Sure."
Lu Changsheng was well aware of Zhou Guang’s intention.
However, he had already accepted thirteen sets of cultivation resources, which meant that the agreement had been settled.
Naturally, he should meet the people of Zhou Guang World.
Soon, one Ascension God Level cultivator after another arrived.
They met Zhou Guang and Lu Changsheng.
They were slightly surprised.
Zhou Guang hadn’t informed them beforehand. Instead, he commanded directly, "Quickly pay homage to Friend Lu. After my passing, Friend Lu will protect Zhou Guang World, and you must obey all his orders."
"Yes, Ancestor."
These people all knelt down and paid their respects.
Lu Changsheng calmly accepted their reverence.
After all, for a long time in the future, he would protect Zhou Guang World.
It was only right for these people to pay their respects to him.
"Friend Zhou Guang, Brother Lu won’t disturb you any longer. If there is anything, you can notify Brother Lu; with the Black Light Tower, Brother Lu can reach Zhou Guang World immediately."
Upon saying this, Lu Changsheng vanished in a flash, already traversing away.
One could not predict when Zhou Guang would fade away.
But there should still be some time.
Lu Changsheng could also cultivate calmly.
After returning to the Black Light Realm, the first thing Lu Changsheng did was tell Zi Sang: "Zi Sang, immediately release the information. I want to acquire eight strands of Hongmeng Qi by exchanging them with the eight sets of cultivation resources provided by Zhou Guang."
Then, Lu Changsheng also notified Chen Yuan.
To have Chen Yuan post the transaction information within the Tongzhou Association.
These eight sets of cultivation resources and Hongmeng Qi are of equal level, allowing for a one-to-one exchange for eight strands of Hongmeng Qi.
Lu Changsheng certainly couldn’t waste them.
Subsequently, Lu Changsheng began attempting to refine the Hongmeng Qi.
A year, two years, three years, four years, five years!
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Changsheng refined all five strands of Hongmeng Qi.
He sensed a noticeable enhancement in his physical body.
Lu Changsheng immediately opened the panel to check his condition.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: Top-level comprehension
World Master: 0 (incipient)
Chaos Life: 7% (initial)
Indeed, Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Life progress reached 7%, increasing by a whole 5%.
And it only took five years.
The improvement was tremendous!
However, there’s also a problem.
After five years, Lu Changsheng’s eight cultivation resources remain untraded.
Not even a single strand of Hongmeng Qi has been exchanged.
This made Lu Changsheng furrow his brows.
He knew Hongmeng Qi was extremely scarce.
Still, no Chaos life exclusively cultivates with Hongmeng Qi.
On the contrary, very few Chaos beings use it for cultivation.
Five years, yet not a single strand of Hongmeng Qi has been traded?
"Zi Sang, what is going on?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Master, this is a normal situation. Although you have eight sets of cultivation resources, the cultivators who possess Hongmeng Qi and happen to need those eight sets are rare; you can only wait patiently."
"If, master, you urgently need Hongmeng Qi, you may directly exchange it from the Black Light Tower, but the exchange rate is higher, with a commission of ten percent per resource."
Zi Sang explained.
"Ten percent?"
Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.
The price is indeed steep.
But what choice does he have?
Private exchanges have seen no activity in five years.
Private exchanges require no fees.
However, with no activity over a long period, no fees don’t matter.
Trading with the Black Light Realm exacts a ten percent commission per resource.
Essentially, trading ten resources warrants a tribute of one cultivation resource to the Black Light Realm.
The cost is exceptionally high.
Lu Changsheng finally understood why the Black Light Realm could reward those top-ranking Chaos beings with cultivation resources.
Relying on the "transaction platform" they’ve built, the Black Light Realm amasses numerous cultivation resources.
As for others or groups attempting to establish a transaction platform, it’s not easy.
Even with a couple of Source Lives, ensuring security is difficult.
Given the vast cultivation resources, even Source Lives would go mad.
