Chapter 1998: Beyond Its Worth

"This slave was sent by the Spirit Clan, and has offended a Spirit Clan disciple."

Therefore they let him endure the full agony of poison eruption; even if he is lucky enough to cling to life, he can only remain a slave for life.

If, after you buy him back, he does not die, you may only keep him as a slave and cannot restore his normal status.

Otherwise, if the Spirit Clan finds out, it will bring death upon you."

The assistant beside him pinched his nose as he came over to open the iron cage, and also reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Oh, the Spirit Clan?"

Ye Liuyun heard this and became even more interested in the man.

Only now the man has a face riddled with sores, poison still oozing, and his original appearance is no longer discernible.

He remained lying on the ground, ignoring the conversation between Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Want revenge?"

Ye Liuyun directly asked the man via Transmission Voice.

The man only then lifted his eyes to look at Ye Liuyun.

"Can you save me?"

He asked weakly.

"Of course.

Sign a Master-Servant Contract with me, and I will save you, even help you take revenge.

Otherwise why would I waste effort chatting with you!"

Ye Liuyun replied via Transmission Voice.

"Do you have a grudge against the Spirit Clan?"

The man this time asked via Transmission Voice.

"Yes.

Anyway, you're going to die.

Why not give it a try?"

I only need you to fight for me; I will not enslave you.

I will even provide you resources to strengthen yourself."

Ye Liuyun continued speaking via Transmission Voice.

The man thought for a moment; he indeed still had a grudge to settle, dying like this would be too humiliating, so he might as well take a chance.

"Fine, I accept!"

He finally agreed.

Ye Liuyun immediately drafted a Master-Servant Contract for him to sign, then had someone remove his collar and seal him inside Xuan Kong Shi.

He then instantly used Divine Sense to transmit the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra to him.

"Start cultivating right now; your internal poison source is sufficient, don't waste the chance!"

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice to him.

Ye Liuyun also prepared a large amount of Divine Crystals and some high‑grade pills for him.

"Your True Essence has been overused; perhaps this time you can break through a realm.

Use these resources as you wish!"

"Thanks!"

Although the man felt grateful, he did not utter the word 'master.'

Ye Liuyun also understood that he may have been stubborn before; otherwise he wouldn't have offended the Spirit Clan, so Ye Liuyun did not force him.

The man immediately began cultivating.

With the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra, Ye Liuyun had already transmitted his cultivation experience together, so his cultivation would be much easier.

Moreover, his original realm was already high and he had some insight, instantly realizing this method suited his current cultivation.

"This counts as finding a strong slave; not a wasted purchase! I never expected the most valuable few people to be the cheapest!"

Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly.

This strong one came to him for free.

That Dragon Clan's small Monster Beast, having shown no realm, was bought for only 200 Crystal Stones.

And that half‑beast werewolf, being hard to discipline, was bought for 30,000 Divine Crystals.

But after returning, he can lead troops, absolutely a great value.

The other Fifth and Sixth Layer Martial Cultivators range from tens to hundreds of millions each.

Although they seem numerous, these are ready‑made forces, requiring no resources to train, and Ye Liuyun finds them very cost‑effective.

After finishing at the slave market, Ye Liuyun spent nearly 20 million Divine Crystals, buying all the selected slaves, sealing them into Space World, and handing them to Ye Tiandao for training.

Ye Liuyun and the others let Ling'er accompany them, continuing to browse the Monster Beast market.

The Monster Beast market was even noisier, with beasts occasionally roaring.

Having gained experience at the slave market, Ye Liuyun continued to pick up bargains.

Soon after, he spotted an earth‑colored giant turtle lying in a large cage with a Formation, motionless.

Ordinary people could not tell whether it was alive or dead, nor discern its realm.

"Is this turtle dead?"

Ye Liuyun asked the guard assistant.

The assistant, seeing someone interested in the turtle, immediately began to enthusiastically describe it.

Honestly, he really didn't know whether the turtle was dead or alive.

Since this turtle arrived here, it has stayed curled up in its shell, neither eating nor drinking; no matter what fine thing you use to tease it, it remains motionless.

Now that someone finally came to ask, he naturally wants to try to sell it.

"Young master, this is not an ordinary turtle but an earth mysterious turtle, very ferocious! Look at the shell and pattern on its back—how beautiful!"

The shop assistant exaggeratedly introduced.

"No matter how beautiful a ferocious beast is, what's the use if it's dead!"

Ye Liuyun deliberately said disdainfully.

"Look at what you say! The ferocious beasts here have all been examined by our Elder, and they are definitely not dead!"

The shop assistant, feeling a bit guilty, explained.

"Then make it move so I can see!"

Ye Liuyun deliberately put the shop assistant in a difficult spot.

His Golden Pupil could see that the turtle had already sealed itself with True Essence.

The shop assistant probably can't wake it.

"This…" the shop assistant also wore a helpless expression.

"So it really is dead, huh?"

Seeing the shop assistant's embarrassed look, Ye Liuyun deliberately exclaimed.

"But this shell is indeed beautiful; sell the shell to me, and I'll take it back to decorate the Side Courtyard, okay?"

The shop assistant's face showed reluctance, and at this moment Ling Er also urged the shop assistant for Ye Liuyun: "It has no realm, and doesn't know life or death; why are you keeping this thing?"

"If it were me, I'd sell it for ten Spirit Stones!"

"How about this, I'll pay fifty Spirit Stones.

Who says I like it! Whether you sell it or not, if you don't, I'll just leave!"

Ye Liuyun also urged the shop assistant from his side.

"Sell it! This loss‑making item!"

The shop assistant, seeing Ye Liuyun about to leave, finally made up his mind and sold the turtle to Ye Liuyun for fifty Spirit Stones.

Ye Liuyun, after bringing it into the Space World, immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on it.

The mysterious turtle immediately broke its seal, revealing a Sixth Layer mid‑realm, and prepared to fight Ye Liuyun to the death.

But its Divine Soul Power was far weaker than Ye Liuyun's, and it was instantly marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun.

"From now on I'll call you Shadow! Remove your disguise.

I also have a Monster Beast Black Tortoise here; you can get to know it."

Ye Liuyun said, and summoned the Black Tortoise.

"This is also a Black Tortoise; you can get to know it."

After speaking, Ye Liuyun gave Shadow a Transformation Pill to help it transform.

He let the Black Tortoise take it to the Xuan Kong Shi for cultivation.

The Black Tortoise was originally curious, for this was clearly an earth mysterious turtle.

But the mysterious turtle, sensing the Black Tortoise's aura, immediately used True Essence to crack open its earth‑colored shell, revealing a black shell inside.

It turned out that the yellow shell was a disguise made from a special yellow earthen material.

The Black Tortoise, seeing this, was overjoyed, never expecting to meet a kindred.

It immediately rushed with it to the Xuan Kong Shi, letting it transform there.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's attention was drawn by a burst of arguing voices.

It was a woman scolding the shop assistant in the shop.

Everyone looked at the woman, but Ye Liuyun was drawn to a small white cat in front of her.
