Chapter 3379: Resource Trade

The Clan Chief produced two pieces of ore, one entirely black, looking like an iron lump but weighing dozens of times more; at Ye Liuyun's realm, he could feel its heft in his hand.

The other stone was gray, clearly rock, but it contained many gold-colored impurities like sand. Those impurities glittered with Golden Light, clearly a special metal.

Ye Liuyun, upon seeing the two items, knew they were valuable, but he was not well-versed in ore and dared not assess their worth.

After obtaining the Clan Chief's consent, he stored both pieces of ore in the Space World and gave them to Tong Xin, the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, and other Formation Masters to examine. Please download the Ai Yue app for the latest content.

The black ore was immediately verified by the refiners to be several times higher in quality than the ore they currently use. After refinement, the metal with gold impurities was also confirmed by many refiners as a rare metal, its texture superior to the black ore, but its metal content was too low to extract much.

At this point, the tribe members brought out the roasted meat. Most of the meat was handed to Ye Liuyun and his companions, while the remaining tribe members each received only a small piece.

Their grilling skill was not lacking; the meat had a distinct flavor, said to be slowly smoked over a special fruit wood that imparted a fruity aroma. Ye Liuyun thus learned a free grilling technique.

Clan Chief Yao Tianling displayed these items to Ye Liuyun, intending to trade with him.

Ye Liuyun and his group ate while chatting with the Clan Chief. The Chief also introduced them to his tribe's unique body‑refining technique, a special bloodline circuit.

During the demonstration, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil already saw clearly the tribe's unique circuit, which essentially merged various forces.

Ye Liuyun thought this method was ordinary and offered little benefit to the others' body refining. He had already told them about it; the only difference was a slight variation in the circuit.

Therefore Ye Liuyun had no desire to exchange for their technique.

In the end, he and Yao Tianling agreed that he would teach them the basics of refining, alchemy, and Formation, in exchange for a piece of transplantable Red Burning Grass and Diamond Fruit,

as well as unrestricted access to water suitable for body refining, and the tribe would teach them how to cultivate medicinal herbs and fruit trees.

The remaining Red Flame Grass and Diamond Fruit would be exchanged for monster meat and Divine Crystals. As for the ore, Ye Liuyun would trade an equal volume of true‑tier weapons, armor, treasures, Flying Boats, and Warships.

Ye Liuyun lacked none of these resources and could exchange them in bulk. The Yao Tribe had abundant stocks of medicinal herbs and spirit fruits, had cultivated several small hills with rich reserves, and the Mineral Veins lay within their jurisdiction.

Both sides were satisfied with the exchange terms, feeling they had made a great profit. After signing a Divine Soul Contract, they began arranging the trade.

Ye Liuyun gathered several low‑level refiners, alchemists, and Formation Masters, transmitting all the basic knowledge they possessed to the other side; the locals also let Ye Liuyun transplant medicinal herbs and fruit trees from two hilltops, and led him to an underground cavern at the foot of a distant snow mountain to fetch water.

These waters originated from melted snow atop the mountain, slowly filtered through the mountain layers before seeping underground. Ye Liuyun guessed that some special treasure within the mountain allowed the water to have body‑refining effects.

However, he did not greedily blast open the mountain, feeling that obtaining this water was enough. The underground water was inexhaustible; Ye Liuyun filled almost every container, and even dug several reservoirs within the Space World, lowering the water level by half.

In the end, he thought the water would suffice for the Death Legion's body refining for half a year, and then he stopped.

Then both sides exchanged monster meat and Divine Crystals for their stockpiles of Red Burning Grass and Diamond Fruit. Trades were calculated by volume; the exchange ratio of herbs to monster meat or Divine Crystals was ten to one, i. e., ten portions of herbs for one portion of meat.

Monster meat and Divine Crystals were important resources for the locals. Herbs and fruit trees they could grow themselves, so they still found the deal worthwhile.

Ye Liuyun also lacked no Divine Crystals, so he used as many Divine Crystals as possible to exchange, and only a small amount of monster meat for additional trades.

Then Ye Liuyun dispatched a Demon Race army of one hundred thousand to help mine the Mineral Vein, and exchanged equal volumes of weapons, armor, and Flying Boats, which just exactly the very

excess acquired inventory equipment was all cleared.

For the remaining portion, Ye Liuyun also used meat jerky made by Zhu Youfu to exchange for a lot.

The many monster carcass fragments they had obtained earlier in the Burning Blood Xing Xi were turned by Zhu Youfu into meat jerky for the army's reserves.

With this jerky, they exchanged for even more resources. The locals also learned a method of preserving meat.

After the trade ended, both sides were grinning from ear to ear.

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected these inconspicuous items to be so effective. If he hadn't gotten along well with the locals and they hadn't presented the items, at most he could have found only the black ore's Mineral Vein; he would have missed all the other resources.

Within Ye Liuyun's Space World, the refiners and alchemists had already begun to bustle.

The refiners were using this black ore to extract metal, providing all Death Legion soldiers with uniform armor, while the extracted gold dust was reserved for Ye Liuyun's companions' refining.

Long Nv's power‑amplifying gloves and armor were damaged, and the Heavenly Fire Ancestor used this gold dust to forge new ones, resulting in a higher grade and greater power.

Ye Liuyun also kept a portion, using the Nine‑Dragon Swallowing Heaven Cauldron to refine, to raise the grade of his War God armor. His own Demon Slaying Sword, the two swords of his clone, and the weapons of those around him could also be further strengthened.

The alchemists began researching ways to enhance the efficacy of these herbs and potions, preparing to forge a pill with superior body‑refining effects. They temporarily named this pill Diamond Pill and began continual refinement.

Monster Beast and Term (generic, exclude) took advantage of this period to frequently spar with the locals. They also discovered that although these people's realms were low, the power of their Physical Body, when fully unleashed, truly was not weaker than theirs.

However, their combat abilities in other aspects were poor; in a life‑or‑death battle, the locals would definitely be at a disadvantage. For regular sparring, they made decent targets.

Ye Liuyun stayed here with his group for a month, giving him more time to be with the women beside him, fearing that after entering the Taixu World, constant daily battles would leave no time to care for them.

Thus, during that month, everyone lived quite leisurely.
