Chapter 3137

"Yeah, originally they were all our reserves of ferocious beast food. Young Master Li doesn't need to buy it all at once; you can buy as much as you can consume." The administrator also replied truthfully.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then asked the administrator: "If I buy all of them, can the price be reduced another 20%? I can stock up more, so I won't have to keep running to the Royal City. The rules of the Royal City merchants' association are too bizarre; buying things still requires proof. Do you mean I can't just buy them back and eat them myself?"

Ye Liuyun feigned dissatisfaction, actually just wanting to haggle more. Actually this price is already very cheap; the price of ferocious beast food can be exchanged for corpses with core pellets, he has already earned many times over. But he feels that under such bizarre regulations, the merchants' association's goods are also hard to sell; he might as well take the opportunity to slaughter them.

The administrator thought it over and finally agreed. If these resources aren't sold, when the next batch arrives, it will cause inventory backlog.

"This is also our misfortune, just happening to coincide with the dynasty issuing such an order. But since Young Master Li has spoken, I'll give you another 20% discount!"

Ye Liuyun nodded satisfied, also feeling the price was acceptable. Any cheaper and the merchants' association would be giving it away for free.

He calculated the time for his clone to arrive, had the administrator keep these resources for him, and paid a 30% deposit. When the time comes, the administrator only needs to verify that it's a Magic Flood Dragon, and they can complete the transaction.

After Ye Liuyun and the administrator finished discussing these matters, it was already late. Ye Liuyun saw the administrator off, and also simply let Qingyu come tomorrow to take her out for a walk.

He then immediately returned to the Space World, conducting a Soul Search on each of the newly bought slaves to learn about their star system's situation and the Fire Seal Dynasty Army's situation.

Those Ninth Layer Late Stage elders really knew their own star system well, including strength, resources, and population. And those few he thought were leaders also had a particularly detailed understanding of the Fire Seal Dynasty Army's strength.

After summarizing this information, he found that these star systems' strength was inferior to the Fire Seal Dynasty Army, even lacking Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators. Some star systems hardly even had Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators.

In the Fire Seal Dynasty Army, the elite troops number over ten thousand, all being Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators, and even Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators number close to a hundred.

Their ordinary soldiers are half Seventh/Eighth Layer and half Middle Layer; thus this strength is already enough to sweep other star systems.

Currently, the Fire Seal Dynasty's four main armies have only 100,000 of their own soldiers, but the reinforcement troops consistently maintain a scale of 200,000, all made up of conscripts from various star systems, used to fight their own people. This itself doesn't consume much; only occasionally are some squads dispatched to carry out missions.

The star systems they attacked, despite putting up full resistance, ultimately could not escape the fate of annihilation.

Ye Liuyun also inquired about the direction and distance of these star systems, and roughly knew the marching direction of the Fire Seal Dynasty Army.

According to these people, the Fire Seal Dynasty Army had already conquered the star systems ahead of them before attacking them. For almost every star system, they left half of the Xingqiu as their territories, allowing them to continuously acquire resources.

Ye Liuyun also specifically looked into the four Martial Cultivators he favored. The big-bearded one is called Xiao Heng; he is indeed the leader of a 100,000-strong army, brave and skilled in battle. The steady middle-aged man is a deputy leader, and his cultivation method is indeed similar to the Mysterious Origin Qi Cultivation Technique. These two were not from the same star system originally, but together they are quite suitable.

The young man who appeared timid is named Meng Tianlin; he was forcibly conscripted by his star system. He cultivates an ancestral method; the special runes on his core pellet can double his True Essence quality in battle, unleashing attack power that crosses two or three layers.

However, his combat experience is lacking; upon his first battlefield appearance, he was knocked out and captured by a stronger opponent. When he woke up, his home Xingqiu had completely disappeared. M..

Another man with a gloomy visage named Lin Mo was indeed an assassin before joining the army, later taking charge of intelligence gathering in the military.

He also handled assassination tasks and was a minor leader of an assassination squad. Once an assassination mission failed, he was captured while covering his comrades' retreat.

Ye Liuyun compared assassination skills with him, finding their strengths not far apart, and their perceptual acuity also very similar. This surprised Lin Mo, who hadn't expected Ye Liuyun's assassination ability to be so high.

Ye Liuyun chatted with these four people about his situation; upon hearing he wanted to go to war with the Fire Seal Dynasty, they were all eager to serve him.

Ye Liuyun kept these four people, planning to later hand them over to Yu Xiaofeng to be collected into the Space World for cultivation. Others would first be selected with suitable realms to serve as sparring partners for women, while the rest waited for Yu Xiaofeng to return and then be assigned to them for practice.

Those four Eighth Layer elders, he kept nearby as servants. Should he ever get a chance to return to their star system, they might still be useful.

But Ye Liuyun worried they might be seized by others for a Soul Search, so he didn't tell them much about his own situation, merely informing them that he would someday visit their star system, bring them along, and restore their freedom, which already satisfied them.

From the Sea of Consciousness of these people, Ye Liuyun also learned the strength of the Fire Seal Dynasty Army, so it wasn't a waste of money. Moreover, these people all harbor hatred toward the Fire Seal Dynasty; if Yu Xiaofeng and company encounter suitable individuals in the future, they could also make use of them.

Ye Liuyun conducted a Soul Search on each of these people, piecing together information and communicating, which also took considerable time. Fortunately, his Soul is now strong enough that he feels no fatigue at all. After settling these people, he immediately began his own cultivation, condensing his Divine Core.

His two avatars also weren't in a hurry to rush; the first avatar changed its appearance again, acting as a family Elder to deliver the Magic Flood Dragon to Ye Liuyun, continuing toward the Royal City. Along the way, besides arranging scouts, he also captured two Independent Cultivators of the Eighth Layer to serve as his guards.

The Second Clone was robbed by a bandit gang on the road; he casually wiped them out, captured a few of their underlings, and as a result also rescued a Wan Hua Sect Formation Master they had taken prisoner.

That Formation Master, after completing his sect mission and returning, had his True Essence sealed by the bandits, who also took his Transmission Talisman, leaving him unable to escape or call for help.

The bandits didn't use Soul to control that Formation Master, so the Wan Hua Sect merely thought he had gone out on a mission and hadn't returned yet, unaware that he had been captured by the bandits.

That Formation Master was also spineless, immediately surrendered, and helped those bandits draw up a Defense Array, making their hideout impregnable; if it weren't for the Second Clone transforming his appearance to match the bandits', one couldn't enter their hideout.
