Chapter 2612: Chapter 1438: Unexpected and Can’t Wait_2

“Is it really a [God Stone]? That’s quite unexpected indeed.”

Leo Ray looked at the words on the attribute column and thought to himself.

He knew that the [God Stone] was not only the key to unlocking the truth of the Era of Blankness but also the only force capable of combating “Corrosion” at present. Of course, he would not miss it, even though it was currently in a dormant state.

“However, expecting me to trade a set of sixth-tier equipment and a sixth-tier magic potion for a dormant [God Stone] is not so easy.”

Leo Ray arched his brow slightly and then looked at Xiao Jie beside him.

Although Xiao Jie was stationed at the Mysterious Market, Xiao Jie, with her ability to deploy absolute defense barriers, had always been by his side.

The purpose of Leo Ray’s action was to have Xiao Jie determine when the stone might awaken.

“Lord, judging from the extremely weak energy fluctuations, the [God Stone] must have suffered severe attacks back in the day.”

Xiao Jie understood and nodded at Leo Ray, saying, “Therefore, I cannot determine when it will awaken, it might be a year, or maybe a hundred years.”

Of course, being in sync with Leo Ray, Xiao Jie did not finish the sentence, as it could also be a day or a week.

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray shrugged and looked at Loris, who was determined to obtain the stone, saying, “Your excellency, Desert Leader, you heard it too. This [God Stone] is in a dormant state, which means it cannot help me at all. Trading such an inactive item for a set of sixth-tier equipment that is extremely precious and perfectly suited for your excellency, isn’t that somewhat unfair?”

“Exactly, furthermore, a dormant [God Stone]’s specific tier cannot be determined. Based on the last 500 years of trade records at the Mysterious Market, only a sixth-tier [God Stone] would equal the value of a set of sixth-tier equipment.”

The administrator seized the opportunity to agree.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Loris, who was initially ready to intimidate Leo Ray, was at a loss for words, losing his composure entirely.

He was extremely aware of these facts; in his initial plan, acquiring any sixth-tier divine weapon would have been worth the trip. Just that the trade at Mysterious Market was about mutual needs, hence, he tried to exploit Leo Ray’s needs with a high demand.

Yet, from the current situation, it’s evident that this Emperor of the Human Race isn’t easily intimidated.

If he were to walk away with just one sixth-tier divine weapon, he’d be quite dissatisfied. As Loris hesitated in his thoughts, Sina seized the moment of opportunity and swiftly said, “Your Majesty, if someone isn’t sincere, perhaps you could take a look at what I’ve brought.”

With that, Sina gently pushed ten radiant crystal clusters forward, introducing them, “As Your Majesty can see, these aren’t ordinary magic crystals, but ten exceptionally rare high-quality containers, suitable for all Tier 5 and below powerhouses, needing no external grinding or processing to be used.”

“As for the specific function of the containers, there’s no need for me to elaborate, right?”

Sina smiled warmly as she supplemented, “For Your Majesty, exchanging a set of sixth-tier equipment for these would be immensely valuable.”

As Sina finished her words, the administrator stepped forward, examined them, and nodded at Leo Ray, saying, “Your Majesty, these indeed are ten high-quality containers suitable for Tier 5 and below powerhouses.”

Familiar with operating the Mysterious Market for long, the administrator, being top-level appraiser, could easily identify such items.

“Containers capable of containing essence?”

Leo Ray looked at the glimmering crystal clusters, nodding thoughtfully.

No wonder he found the energy fluctuations somewhat familiar; it turned out he’s seen them before in the ancient mines, as it could contain many ancient dark elves. The container capacity was undoubtedly vast.

“The containers from the ancient mines have already been used, unable to be reused, and most natural containers require special secret spells to polish before they can function normally. Otherwise, it would affect aspects like sanity, just as it did with Jess and other ancient dark elves.”

“In this light, these usable containers are indeed rare and something I need; after all, Fei’er, Old Silver Fire King, and others need containers to leave their original places.”

“Just that they can only house essences from Tier 5 and below, although they can’t be used by Fei’er or Old Silver Fire King, they could be used on Old Roy and the other three Apocalyptic Knights at the Loren King Capital Ruins, their essences are dissipating, if not found soon, it might be too late.”

With this thought in mind, Leo Ray took a deep breath.

Despite Old Roy and others being merely Tier 5 level, unable to offer too much assistance, he had promised back then to find them again, it’s time he honored that promise.

“Right, another fellow who might use it is King West, that old guy! His power is at Tier 5 peak, fitting the conditions!”

“But to see him again, we’ll need the Sacred Stone, which I haven’t found yet.”

Just as Leo Ray considered this, the Market Guard brought the containers over.

Leo Ray looked at the dazzling crystals before him, then opened the attribute column.

[Name: Holy Crystal]

[Resource Level: Level 5 (Rare)]

[Specification: 15cm]

[Purity: S-Level]

[Note: One of the rare primal containers, typically grows in the borders of underground dislocated objects, capable of housing essences from Tier 5 and below.]

“Just a Rare Resource, not an upgradeable tier item? Though acquiring ten at once is indeed a significant gain!”

With this in mind, Leo Ray looked at the administrator, showing a questioning gaze.

Being unaware of the containers’ value, he needed the administrator’s explanation.

“Your Majesty, according to trade records from the Mysterious Market, these containers are more valuable than the [God Stone] we discussed. After all, in a sense, containers save lives.”

The administrator explained without hesitation, “Although even so, these containers aren’t comparable to the sixth-tier equipment valued by the Desert Leader.”

Upon hearing the administrator’s words, Sina slightly furrowed her eyebrows.

Just as the administrator said, she naturally knew the value of these items, just that Leo Ray seemed poorly informed, maybe allowing her some benefits.

Unfortunately, the big-mouthed administrator exposed the mystery, leaving her with no further options.

By right, as the Mysterious Market’s administrator, one wouldn’t be involved in trades, nor make casual suggestions; however, Leo Ray clearly had a deep relationship with the administrator, thwarting her small schemes.

“Regrettably, Your Excellency Desert Leader, it’s clear, the situation couldn’t be more evident.”

Leo Ray shrugged, smiling as he said, “Seems the value of your items is relatively limited, if Your Excellency can offer higher-quality containers, that would be ideal.”

“Your Majesty, containers are incredibly rare, and this is already my entire inventory, if there were others, I’d have shown them already.”

Sina’s beautiful eyes lowered, sighing helplessly, “Can’t Your Majesty reconsider?”

With that, Sina’s eyes sparkled as she directed a charming smile at Leo Ray, saying, “Perhaps I could give Your Majesty some other experiences.”

“Tsk, Your Majesty won’t fall for that.”

Loris seized the moment, saying, “Your Majesty, besides the [God Stone], the Desert Leader can offer some other things as well!”
