Chapter 1685: Origin Pill Trade

Those Martial Cultivators, upon seeing the corpses of Corpse Demons scattered all over the ground, couldn't help but be stunned.

Upon seeing hundreds of Metal Puppets gathering Origin Pills, someone immediately shouted at Ye Liuyun: "Young man, were all these Corpse Demons killed by you?"

"Not bad!"

Ye Liuyun nodded.

A few Martial Cultivators, seeing him admit it, couldn't help but feel surprised.

"So many Corpse Demons, all at Tianzun Realm—can you really kill them?"

Someone raised a question.

Ye Liuyun smiled and retorted: "Whether I killed them or not, what does it matter?"

"Anyway, it wasn't you who killed them!"

That person also gave an embarrassed laugh, then said: "The rule among Martial Cultivators is that whoever sees gets a share—you couldn't have killed so many Corpse Demons alone; you're just riding on others' coattails."

"These results naturally ought to be shared with others!"

That Martial Cultivator, thick‑skinned, grinned and approached the nearest Corpse Demon.

The other Martial Cultivators, seeing this, also wanted to join in.

Before they arrived, they had all seen Ye Liuyun cultivating.

They guessed he had just fought, his True Essence was insufficient, and he certainly couldn't stop them.

As for those Metal Puppets, being only at Earth Sovereign level, they weren't worried either.

So they wanted to move in and loot directly.

The bounty offered by the dynasty here is high—one Origin Pill can be exchanged for many resources.

How could they possibly pass up this opportunity?

At this moment Ye Liuyun was also anxious, wanting to act, but his Mysterious Origin was indeed insufficient to deal with them.

Seeing Ye Liuyun stand still, those Martial Cultivators grew bolder, directly sucking out an Origin Pill from a Corpse Demon and storing it in their Storage Rings.

Seeing Ye Liuyun really dare not act, the others immediately rushed forward.

"Oh no! I'm exhausted!"

At that moment, Qiong Qi's voice came from afar, releasing the pressure of a Divine Realm expert.

Those Martial Cultivators froze, immediately stopping their hands and warily watching the direction the pressure spread.

"You've finally come; otherwise my all‑out effort would have been wasted! Those Corpse Demon Origin Pills are about to be snatched away!"

Ye Liuyun also spoke toward Qiong Qi's direction.

Qiong Qi also flew over, looked at the Corpse Demons littering the ground, and asked in surprise: "So many?

"Did you finish them off?"

Ye Liuyun nodded: "I wrecked two sets of armor and eight Formation Plates, exhausted to the bone, and then a few opportunists showed up!"

Qiong Qi had long seen Ye Liuyun's tattered clothes and knew he must have just gone through a major battle.

He glanced at those Martial Cultivators, giving them a start.

Qiong Qi's Divine Realm expert pressure was unleashed on them without holding back.

"Dare to loot our things?

I'll pound your marrow dry!

Saying that, he acted without hesitation, slapping each Martial Cultivator dead with a palm, and seized all their Storage Rings.

At that moment, more Martial Cultivators came from behind, saw the scene, were frightened to stay away, and hid far off to watch.

In their view, those Corpse Demons were surely killed by that Divine Realm expert.

Otherwise, ordinary people couldn't possibly have the strength to leave such a huge pile of Corpse Demon corpses.

The Metal Puppets had by then finished gathering Origin Pills, handed them to Ye Liuyun, and he stored them in his Space World.

Qiong Qi also gave those Martial Cultivators' Storage Rings to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then took the Origin Pills of the Foreign Tribe and began absorbing them to recover.

"Brother, do you still remember me?"

The Martial Cultivator who had once stopped Ye Liuyun to inquire about the situation shouted from afar toward Ye Liuyun.

He also cautioned Ye Liuyun: "These Corpse Demon Origin Pills cannot be absorbed; they contain an evil aura.

If you want to cultivate, I'll exchange some Spirit Stones with you?"

"Oh?

How many Spirit Stones for one Origin Pill?"

Ye Liuyun also became interested; if there were enough Spirit Stones, the exchange would be worthwhile.

After all, absorbing Spirit Stones is far less taxing than absorbing Corpse Demon Origin Pills.

The young man immediately stepped forward and told Ye Liuyun: "The dynasty's price is fifty million Spirit Stones per Origin Pill.

If you urgently need Spirit Stones, I can exchange a portion with you."

Seeing the young man's sincere demeanor, Ye Liuyun was inclined to agree.

Fifty million Spirit Stones for a Corpse Demon Origin Pill—this deal isn't a loss.

At that moment another Martial Cultivator jumped out, saying: "What fifty million Spirit Stones per pill—who are you trying to fool?

Origin Pills of the Tianzun Realm are worth over a hundred million, and late‑stage Tianzun Origin Pills fetch even more!"

That man looked bold, unafraid of Qiong Qi's pressure, walked up to Ye Liuyun and said: "For each Origin Pill, let me earn five million Spirit Stones; I'll exchange with you at the dynasty's price."

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect the dynasty here to be so wealthy, so generous.

If such a price existed, he would certainly exchange.

The youth also didn't expect that, with a Divine Realm expert present, someone would dare step forward to compete for his business.

His sincerity vanished from his face; he said somewhat embarrassedly, "What I just said was only the price of elemental pills for the Earth Sovereign realm—if it's Tianzun realm, the price naturally goes up! Brothers, we've known each other longer; why not trade with me first? I'll definitely not shortchange you!"

At that moment, seeing Ye Liuyun moved, someone immediately offered a higher price: "I just need to make three million spirit stones per pill."

"You're being too greedy! I'll trade for one million!"

Another martial cultivator raised the price.

One elemental pill can earn a million spirit stones; if a thousand such pills could all be traded, it would be no different from striking a fortune.

Even if only part could be traded, those spirit stones would be free gain!

The martial cultivator who had wanted to earn five million earlier, hearing this, puffed up with indignation and was about to retreat, muttering, "You didn't say anything before; I spoke up, and now you come to snatch it away!"

Ye Liuyun, however, called out to him: "I'll trade with you! Take as many as you can exchange; the rest I'll give to them—whoever offers the higher price gets it!"

Ye Liuyun called out to him because at that time he was the only one daring to speak up.

If he hadn't spoken, Ye Liuyun might have been deceived by that youth.

"Really?"

That martial cultivator obviously hadn't expected that someone had already offered Ye Liuyun a higher price, yet he could still trade with him.

"Of course it's true!"

Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Good! Haha, you kid have enough righteousness! But I don't have many spirit stones—I can only trade for over a hundred."

He said that, then placed all his spirit stones into a storage ring and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun likewise piled all the elemental pills outside and told that martial cultivator, "Pick for yourself!"

That martial cultivator was also straightforward, picking the corresponding number of elemental pills according to the spirit stones he gave Ye Liuyun.

The remaining spirit stones were not enough for him to exchange even one pill, yet Ye Liuyun still gave him an elemental pill as thanks.

The martial cultivator repeatedly thanked him, gathered up the elemental pills, and left satisfied amid the envious looks of the crowd.
