Of course, for the sake of his own life, Ye Luo could only make such arrangements.
For an elder, Ye Luo would offer no more than a fist-sized piece of fruit flesh.
The reason is simple; if he offered too much, he would surely arouse suspicion!
Ye Luo didnât meticulously inspect the contents of that Qiankun Ring because he couldnât afford to linger too long.
Moreover, Ye Luo dared not stay long. First, according to the rules, Ye Luo couldnât remain in this Forbidden Land for too long.
Second, if Ye Luoâs transaction were discovered by any elder, it would be dangerous.
But if they couldnât find Ye Luo, it would be fine. After all, these elders were very aware of each otherâs situations. If news of the Fruit of Life leaked, their own days wouldnât be easy, which might even lead to a blood feud.
So no one would stupidly announce that they obtained the Fruit of Life.
This was Ye Luoâs opportunity and plan; Ye Luo wanted to visit each elder here to gain the greatest benefit!
Therefore, in every aspect, Ye Luo needed to complete the transaction as quickly as possible, and before others reacted, he would continue to seek out targets and continue trading.
A piece of the Fruit of Lifeâs flesh was enough to make this trip worthwhile for Ye Luo!
Soon, Ye Luo came out of the elderâs house, not lingering, and immediately proceeded to the next target.
The entire process could indeed be described as unnoticed and stealthy.
Ao Dan waited outside all along, a suggestion by Ye Luo himself.
He didnât know what good things Ye Luo could bring out to impress these elders. In Ao Danâs heart, even if Ye Luo could make a transaction with one or two elders, it would already be a huge gain. Little did he know, as long as Ye Luo offered the Fruit of Life, no elder would be stingy.
Harboring ulterior motives?
Ye Luo came bearing the title of Ao Longâs disciple. How dare these elders try anything?
To put it bluntly, if they truly offended Ao Long, even if Ao Long moved to obliterate them, probably no one would say a word in their defense.
After all, they basically held no value anymore.
So, the transactions were indeed very smooth.
Not long after, Ye Luo approached Ao Dan with a satisfied smile.
Looking at Ye Luoâs smiling face, Ao Dan asked, "So, did you get what you wanted?"
Ye Luo nodded: "Yes, the harvest was abundant. Here, take this Qiankun Ring. If it werenât for you bringing me here, I wouldnât have been able to trade for so many good things this time, so itâs rightfully yours."
Ao Dan accepted it without hesitation, thinking that Ye Luo probably wouldnât bring out anything too valuable.
But when he took a glance inside the Qiankun Ring, he was deeply shocked, as the resources inside were undeniably a colossal fortune!
In Ao Danâs eyes, it seemed like a third to half of the resources were given to him!
This was because the value of the goods inside the Qiankun Ring was just too high!
But he didnât know that the Qiankun Ring given to him had already had most of its good stuff taken out by Ye Luo.
The extent of Ye Luoâs gain this time might be known only to himself.
Itâs not that Ye Luo was stingy, but some matters are best left unsaid. Even if Ao Dan was trustworthy, if Ye Luo offered resources that were too plentiful and too good, and Ao Dan mentioned it to others, it would inevitably attract unwanted attention.
Though benefiting Ao Dan, Ye Luo had to consider many aspects.
Only after completely parting ways with Ao Dan did Ye Luo return to the inn to begin inspecting todayâs haul.
Although those elders were definitely willing to spend considerable resources to exchange the Fruit of Life from his hands, Ye Luo was still stunned when he checked the contents of those Qiankun Rings!
It was too abundant, extraordinarily abundant indeed!
If exploring Secret Realms could yield good items and sudden wealth, then this single trip, with merely a Fruit of Life,
was equivalent to exploring over a dozen Secret Realms!
Even the resource value here might surpass the total accumulations of a small Sect!
Of course, this is speaking only about the resource values.
For Ye Luo, resources he didnât need might only be convertible into Immortal Stones.
But what truly delighted Ye Luo, or could be said to be useful to him presently, amounted to only three treasures.
The first is a sword, a seemingly ordinary but undoubtedly extraordinary Dragon Bone Sword!
This sword was crafted from Divine Dragonâs Dragon Bone, exceptionally sharp, with many special effects.
During the transaction, the elder solemnly handed the sword to Ye Luo, advising him to treasure it well.
Yes, this sword was created with genuine Dragon Bone and incorporated many other precious materials.
Truth be told, the materials alone outshine Ye Luoâs Lingyun Sword by an indeterminate amount!
Though Ye Luo indeed has deep sentiments for the Lingyun Sword and is reluctant to abandon it, the Lingyun Sword no longer complements Ye Luoâs growing strength, so itâs time to let go.
Ye Luo took out both the Lingyun Sword and the Dragon Bone Sword, while Xiao Ling stayed silent because Xiao Ling understood well that despite Ye Luoâs attachment, for the sake of enhancing his strength, and perhaps for survival, he had to set aside the Lingyun Sword.
In the past, Ye Luo had thought about reforging the Lingyun Sword, but itâs hardly as simple as imagined.
To reforge the Lingyun Sword, not considering other factors, equaling the Dragon Bone Swordâs level alone would require an unknown amount of expenditure.
The expenditure is too great, and it isnât a matter of worth; itâs about whether Ye Luo possesses the capability to reforge it at all.
...
However, just at this moment, Moon Spirit suddenly spoke.
"Master, where is the Artifact Spirit of this Dragon Bone Sword? Why hasnât it come out to meet us?"
Artifact Spirit?
Ye Luoâs eyes lighted up. Yes, Artifact Spirit, although the materials for this Dragon Bone Sword are top-notch, the elder mentioned that when he initially forged it, it wasnât intended for combat but as a commemoration.
It is said that the Dragon Bone Sword was crafted from the Dragon Bone of an old friend of his, who had unfortunately perished in battle far from Dragon Island, making the task of returning the body challenging. So, he directly took his friendâs reverse scale with the original intent of making a token of remembrance. Eventually, it was forged into this Dragon Bone Sword.
