Chapter 1352: with translation of chapter title

In the blink of an eye several hours passed, the territory war finally ended, Tian Kong cleared up, and hundreds of millions of players flooded into the imperial city, as if mosquitoes had dispersed.

"Finally can go out."

Xiao Feng waited several hours, seeing he could leave, he immediately used the Heavenly Market's dedicated return-to-city talisman, heading straight to the market gate.

After the war ended, NPC shops resumed business; he could almost be considered the first customer.

Da Bai stayed outside to view the scenery; he alone entered the market and ran to the wholesale market on the third floor.

"Esteemed supreme-level guest, Xiao Feng Xiao Immortal, welcome back to the Heavenly Market purchasing area!"

After throwing away a trillion Spirit Stones, Xiao Feng had become one of the top customers in the Heavenly Market; along the way, NPCs constantly greeted him with salutations.

He arrived at the purchasing area's manager NPC and asked, "How are the immortal crystals I collected doing?"

More than twenty days have passed; there will surely be a harvest, just unknown how much.

The manager NPC flattered, "Immortal, you've come at just the right time; the immortal crystals have been purchased in considerable amounts according to your set ratio, and we're about to send them over."

These are just pleasantries; Xiao Feng couldn't be bothered to listen, directly asking the manager for the list.

The manager immediately gave him the list.

Immortal crystal transaction record:

Low-grade immortal crystals: 1,993 pieces, consuming 3,587,400,000 Spirit Stone

Medium-grade immortal crystals: 89 pieces, consuming 1,691,000,000 Spirit Stone

High-grade immortal crystals: 14 pieces, consuming 2,800,000,000 Spirit Stone

Labor expenses: 21 days (excluding 3 days of territory war), total 2,100,000 Spirit Stone

Total Spirit Stone expenditure: 8,080,500,000 Spirit Stone

"Only this much?"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown upon seeing it.

He gave 100,000,000,000 Spirit Stone to collect items, but after almost a month, less than 10,000,000,000 had been spent…

Is it that money is too hard to spend, or that immortal crystals are too hard to collect?

"Immortal… we've already been working hard to help you purchase immortal crystals, even running several free ads. But the quantity of this item is truly too scarce; scattered and sparse, being able to gather this much is already not bad." The manager explained.

"Sigh, fine…"

Xiao Feng originally thought he would at least collect tens of thousands of immortal crystals, enough for the sapling to eat for 180 days.

But with this amount, it was finished in just over a month.

This doesn't even consider the possibility that the sapling's appetite will grow as it matures!

Looks like we still need to persevere and put more effort into the lumberjack's tasks!

Moreover, speaking of which, leaving that many Spirit Stones in the Heavenly Market seems like a loss of interest!

"Does your market have any high-value goods that aren't selling lately? Let me take a look." Xiao Feng now really wanted to splurge and buy some nice things.

The manager thought and replied, "Ordinary items, Immortal, you probably wouldn't be interested, but there are a few that qualify as rare treasures, stored in the auction house; if you're interested, you can go check them out."

"Hmm, thanks."

Xiao Feng took the immortal crystals and immediately went upstairs to have a look.

The auction area on the fourth floor was unusually quiet; players hadn't flooded in yet, and it was now desolate.

Xiao Feng asked the counter manager, who immediately gave him a list of unsold treasures.

Players can set their own starting bid and buyout price for consigned goods.

If no buyout price is set, only auction is possible; if set, direct purchase is possible.

However, generally speaking, buyout prices are relatively expensive.

Xiao Feng glanced and found most things were quite ordinary—nothing but pills, equipment, equipment materials, etc., not even magical weapons.

But there was one item of extremely high quality that made Xiao Feng buy it without hesitation!

【Slaughter Book (fragment)】: Records a fragment of the 8th-rank Secret Art Slaughter Formation; collecting 999 fragments can synthesize the complete Slaughter Book.

I haven't seen this in a long time; I didn't expect to find it while browsing the market.

There are a total of 3 consigned fragments, from two sellers.

Their set buyout prices differed, but to Xiao Feng it was nothing; the three fragments together cost only over 7,000,000 Spirit Stone, and he bought them on a whim.

Adding these three pages, he now has seven fragments of the Slaughter Book; though still far from 999, gradual collection will eventually bring hope.

After buying the fragments, he didn't bother with anything else.

Xiao Feng continued to stroll around the market.

About half an hour later, Yu Cixue and Xue Ningzhen almost simultaneously sent him messages.

Xue Ningzhen: "Fellow Daoist, we've finished our affairs; shall we start the dungeon challenge now?"

Yu Cixue: "Senior Brother, the territory war has ended, rewards have been distributed; when will you take me to run a dungeon?"

Both women's purposes are the same.

Xiao Feng replied to Xue Ningzhen: "You go first to the Six Saints Sect and wait for me; I can teleport there relatively quickly."

Then he replied to Yu Cixue: "Don't rush; I'll first team up with the Azure Blue Realm folks to run a 500-level dungeon once more, to see the situation outside the reclamation period."

Xue Ningzhen indicated understanding and immediately led people away.

Yu Cixue had no objections either, so she could only first lead people to clear the low-level dungeons, waiting for Xiao Feng to seek her out.

High-ranking war zones in the territory war receive experience bonus rewards; this time Azure Blue Realm came in first, with 72 hours of double experience.

The Hidden Dragon Continent, meanwhile, placed in the top ten, gaining a 50% experience boost.

Three days isn't long; if not an overwhelming squad attempting the dungeon, they might not finish all dungeons in three days, so they must seize the time.

Therefore, even knowing he would lead them, Yu Cixue dared not idle; she must first handle the cultivation dungeons below level 400 to avoid loss.

Xiao Feng is currently out and about, unable to receive his hometown's territory war settlement reward; he can only take the 【7-Day Double Experience Pill】 himself, which lasts a long time, so he's not in a hurry.

He immediately ate the pill, and the speed of his cultivation increase began to double.

Originally the Chaos Tree automatically increased cultivation by 1000 per minute, now it has become 2000.

If one meditates and cultivates, holding the Heavenly Dao Whisk, they can achieve over 9000 cultivation per settlement.

Xiao Feng cultivated in the market town for an hour, estimating that Xue Ningzhen and the others should soon arrive at the Six Holy Sect.

Thus he went out, summoned Da Bai, first teleported to East Zhongzhou, then took out the Void Umbrella, performed a long-distance void shift, and directly arrived near the entrance of the Six Holy Sect instance.

The Nine Provinces land is vast; if calculated from the Primordial Imperial City, the destination cannot be reached, as they are separated by over 5 million kilometers.

From East Zhongzhou it's fine; no need to take the minor teleportation array again.

When Xiao Feng arrived, Xue Ningzhen and the others had not yet come, and the instance entrance was also empty.

Although the guide to the Six Holy Sect has already been disseminated, the challenge threshold is too high, and having just finished a territory war, so no one is lingering here now.

Xiao Feng modified his personal information a bit.

The name Sole Sword Sovereign is too conspicuous, the Sword Tomb First Clear Auction has too much influence, so to avoid trouble he plans to change his ID.

Hmm… this time he changed his name to Myriad Worlds Sword Sovereign, level 385, HP 8.8 billion!

His war zone affiliation is… the Cangqing Realm!
