Chapter 1602 The Treasure is Tempting

Chapter 1602: The Treasure is Tempting Chapter 1602: The Treasure is Tempting Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Braydon Neal maintained his calm expression as he regarded the dwarf indifferently.  The widely acknowledged price for low-grade path soil stood at 100 million star coins per gram.  For path soil approaching middle-grade quality, it commanded a staggering one billion star coins per gram.  Yet, the dwarf had proposed an egregiously low price to Braydon, clearly attempting to deceive him.  It was a blatant disregard for the Northern King’s authority and a provocation.

Historically, those who dared such acts rarely met with favorable outcomes.  Undeterred, the dwarf continued, “If you trade with the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce, Young Master, we guarantee your safety and expedient transaction.

Among the galaxies, only we can swiftly handle such large-scale transactions without delay.

Furthermore, we promise there will be no outstanding debts.” The offer might seem tempting to others, promising more than tenfold profit.  But Braydon remained unmoved.  From his ethereal spirit, he produced a book titled “Classification of Path Soil,” which detailed the specific uses of path soil.  It was essential to certain plant life and had the unique ability to awaken dormant mutants, transforming them into formidable demons on the path of cultivation — nurturing ominous potential.

This explained why path soil commanded such high prices; certain tribes within the demon race had an insatiable demand for it.  The shrewd dwarf noticed Braydon consulting the ancient book, realizing that someone well-versed in the soil’s uses wouldn’t hastily part with it.  Using path soil for exchanges of rare and precious resources not typically circulated in the universe was its most prudent application.

In the vast universe, countless unique items existed that were so rare they couldn’t be openly traded in markets.  Obtaining them typically required exchanging them for something of equivalent value.

“Young Master, what do you think?” the dwarf asked anxiously.

“I do possess path soil, but I’m not interested in selling it at this moment,” Braydon replied calmly, meeting the dwarf’s gaze before closing the ancient book in his hand.

The dwarf’s face turned ashen.

“Are you joking?” “Maybe,” Braydon responded nonchalantly, unwilling to deceive the dwarf.  To the Northern Army, path soil held significant importance, and it wasn’t the right time to part with it.

Furious, the dwarf warned, “There are consequences for trifling with the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce.

Even the royal family in the Milky Way Empire respects us; they wouldn’t dare provoke us!” The Milky Way Chamber of Commerce operated under the Cosmos Chamber of Commerce’s jurisdiction, boasting substantial influence in the starry sky.  Such credentials were effective in intimidating most cultivators.  However, attempting to intimidate Braydon was futile.

Braydon raised his hand, summoning forth a piece of purple gold.  “This is…” The dwarf’s anger dissipated instantly as he examined the purple gold.

Swiftly recognizing it, his demeanor changed.  “Purple Gilt Supreme Path Stone!

It’s a primary material for forging supreme weapons, extremely valuable.

Such an item shouldn’t be found in the Dragon River Empire; supreme-grade weapons are usually wielded by lineage masters.

Only they can fully unleash the weapon’s power.” Such a supreme path weapon, once fully awakened, could rival a lineage master in power.  Therefore, any material capable of forging such a weapon would attract countless experts in the cosmos.  Even lineage masters would find it tempting, given its significance as the primary material for supreme weapons.

Braydon had acquired this item from the lair of the Bright Lord in the Bright Lord Manor.  The Bright Lord had previously warned Braydon about its value.  Though the Bright Lord didn’t care about these items, it didn’t diminish its importance to other cultivators.

“How much is this item worth?” Braydon inquired once more.

“Who are you?” the dwarf asked in horror.

The presence of the Purple Gilt Supreme Path Stone in the Dragon River Empire and in Braydon’s possession was unexpected.  It was inconceivable for a youth to own such a treasure, even if they had inherited it from an expert.  The dwarf pondered the implications of its previous owner.

“I’m asking how much this thing is worth!” Braydon replied calmly.

“I can’t estimate it,” the dwarf murmured, his eyes betraying a trace of greed masked by caution.  He understood the gravity of the situation; the appearance of the Purple Gilt Supreme Path Stone surpassed his authority.  Possessing such an item could attract attacks from formidable experts against the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.

The dwarf’s demeanor turned solemn and cautious.  He stood up and said, “Please wait a moment, Young Master.

The appearance of any supreme path stone is of great importance.

This matter exceeds my authority.

I need to report it.” Braydon nodded slightly.  The dwarf vanished in an instant, slipping into a concealed chamber.  “Contact the Northern Chamber of Commerce Headquarters,” he directed.

The territories of the Milky Way Empire and Dragon River Empire fell within the Northern Stellar Realm’s jurisdiction.  Many surviving factions maintained their headquarters in this region.  Among them, a colossal white planet with three layers of star rings, known as star belts, dominated the area.  This massive planet dwarfed Earth by thousands of times, capable of accommodating over 100,000 starships daily.

In a palace nestled within a bustling ancient city on this planet, a slender middle-aged man sat cross-legged, engaged in what appeared to be cultivation.  A virtual artifact adorned his wrist, signaling an incoming communication.

Opening his eyes, the middle-aged man projected an image onto his wrist—the respectful dwarf seeking contact.

“What is it?” His tone was cold and commanding.

“Lord Aree, someone is selling the Purple Gilt Supreme Path Stone!” the dwarf exclaimed urgently.

“What?

Who’s the seller?” Aree Luya, the middle-aged man, queried in a hushed voice.

“A youth in white robes, origin unknown.

He appears to have inherited a treasure from a powerful figure of his race.

He possesses a substantial amount of path soil and is selling a Purple Gilt Supreme Path Stone!” The dwarf reported truthfully, withholding nothing.

With a swift motion, Aree activated a virtual artifact, stepping into the Second Universe.  He teleported directly to the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce’s base without cost.

The Cosmos Chamber of Commerce, as a major power, paid substantial star coins annually to the Virtual Spirit Association.  Members enjoyed ten daily teleportation privileges within subordinate territories, provided at a significant discount compared to standard long-distance rates in the cosmos.

Aree arrived at the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce.

“Lord Aree,” the dwarf personally greeted him with a respectful bow.  “Where is this youth?” Aree demanded upon reaching the top floor of the Milky Way Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters, striding purposefully downstairs.
