Chapter 1516

An hour later, after spending several thousand Paradise Coins, the exclusive room was restored to its original state. The Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Beni, and Amu combination had already left the exclusive room; they were selling equipment in the trading market.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was selling equipment, while Su Xiao needed to procure, which meant buying items with attributes similar to 【Consciousness Conduction Resin】.

According to the message Beni sent, it and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had not found items similar to 【Consciousness Conduction Resin】 in the trading market, so Su Xiao could only seek out the Black Merchant and the God Emperor Adventure Group.

What made people helpless was that the Black Merchant and God Emperor didn't have this either. It wasn't that this item was rare, but that it had no market at all. Perhaps only one in ten thousand Qiyuezhe needed this. Over time, Qiyuezhe who obtained similar items would process them uniformly, which meant selling them to the exclusive room. Although the price was lower, it was much better than hoarding them for several or even a dozen derived worlds without being able to sell them.

After discovering this, Su Xiao had a headache. But after he contacted those idiot merchants from Red Maple with a trial attitude, those people actually hoarded items with properties similar to 【Consciousness Conduction Resin】. Judging from those guys' tone, it seemed they had as much as one wanted.

When Su Xiao proposed to buy 2000 grams, split into two purchases, those people from Red Maple agreed immediately, but their asking price was a bit high: 4000 Paradise Coins per gram.

Su Xiao still needed 940 grams of 【Consciousness Conduction Resin】, which meant he needed to pay 3.76 million Paradise Coins.

Even if Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Beni sold all the items obtained from the treasure chests, whether they would have 2 million Paradise Coins was unknown, let alone 3.76 million.

The attitude of those people from Red Maple was very firm: if you don't buy, forget it. They would continue to hoard; anyway, they had already hoarded for more than 20 derived worlds, and they didn't care about hoarding for a few more world progresses.

Su Xiao had asked all the channels he could find. The only merchant group that could produce 940 grams of "Consciousness Conduction Crystal" was Red Maple. They were the only ones.

However, before buying "Consciousness Conduction Crystal" from Red Maple, Su Xiao still needed to clarify the doubts in his heart, which was why he had a sense of familiarity with "Consciousness Conduction Crystal."

Su Xiao began to search in his storage space. He took out everything and checked them one by one. After two hours, an irregular crystal the size of a fist appeared in Su Xiao's hand, with smoke swirling inside the crystal.

【???】

Origin: Xiya Continent

Quality:??? (Awaiting identification)

Type:??? (Awaiting identification)

Effect:??? (Awaiting identification)

Rating:???

Introduction:???

Price: To be determined

The crystal in Su Xiao's hand was obtained after he killed the old king in the Xiya world. For a long time, he didn't know what kind of ghost thing this was. The identification fee was also very strange: 600,000 Paradise Coins + three pieces of ice-attribute gold-grade equipment. But 【???】 was not ice-attribute; Su Xiao could be sure of this.

Now Su Xiao finally knew what 【???】 was. This was a large piece of "Consciousness Conduction Crystal," with some kind of consciousness sealed inside.

After learning the general characteristics of 【???】, Su Xiao placed it on the wooden table. While drawing Checking Zhan Long Shan, he directly knocked on it with the hilt of the sword.

With a crisp crack, 【???】 shattered. The ice-attribute consciousness sealed inside was exposed to the air and quickly dissipated. When Su Xiao checked the attributes of 【???】 again, this time he could view it without identification.

【Consciousness Conduction Crystal】

Quality: Legendary

Type: Material (670 grams)

Effect 1: Can conduct, seal, and block consciousness-type energy.

Rating: 530+

Introduction: Extremely rare material

Price: 1,752,800 Paradise Coins

Su Xiao finally knew why the price of 【???】 was to be determined. If this thing wasn't shattered, it belonged to the category of living materials, and its value wasn't high. But if shattered, it was 【Consciousness Conduction Crystal】, and its value was extremely high.

Su Xiao was still wondering why he had a sense of familiarity when he previously obtained 【Consciousness Conduction Resin】 from Ma Wen Waltz, and even felt he had obtained this thing before. The fact was indeed so, but after he obtained it, he didn't know what it was at all.

Now Su Xiao still needed 270 grams of "Consciousness Conduction Crystal," which, at Red Maple Merchant Group's asking price, was 1.08 million Paradise Coins.

Su Xiao checked his existing Paradise Coins. After some selling by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Beni, he now had a total of 846,500 Paradise Coins.

After agreeing on the time and place, Su Xiao met with the people from Red Maple Merchant Group on the east side of the trading market.

"Hello, dear guest, I am from Red Maple Merchant Group..."

Although Red Maple Merchant Group didn't lower prices, their service attitude was mysteriously enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Su Xiao felt a bit uncomfortable.

"The agreed 2000 grams of 'Consciousness Conduction Crystal' have all been brought. I wonder if..."

The merchant meeting Su Xiao was about forty years old, with a small mustache, his face glowing when he smiled.

"Trade 270 grams first. I'm currently scraping the pot and selling iron."

Su Xiao originally wanted to report a larger purchase quantity to lower the price. Now it seemed that the people from Red Maple didn't bargain at all.

"Only 270 grams?"

The small mustache seemed a bit disappointed.

"How about... we give some freebies? You buy a bit more?"

The small mustache was clearly a bit unwilling.

"Not needed for now."

"Alright then..."

The small mustache sighed. Red Maple's trading style looked like idiots, but this was their way of survival: they didn't open for business easily, but once they did, they could eat for three years. No matter how strange and bizarre things were, these guys had stock; they specialized in venture capital.

Soon, Su Xiao's Paradise Coin count exceeded 1.08 million, and 270 grams of "Consciousness Conduction Crystal" were in hand. The materials to drive the "Blade Demon Sealing Device" were finally gathered.

According to Beni's estimation, the remaining items could sell for about 700,000 Paradise Coins. Of these 700,000 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao planned to take 500,000 to upgrade his abilities, and the remaining 200,000 would be split equally among Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Beni, and Amu. As for whether it would be invested in Beni, this financial meow, or used for other things, it was up to them to decide freely.

The remaining Paradise Coins would take some time to arrive. Su Xiao headed straight to the arena; he hadn't fought in the arena for some time.

Ten minutes later, in the arena lounge.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Good.】

【Ranking: 9570th (Fourth Tier).】

【Winning Streak: 0 matches.】

【Top Five Reward: Not obtained.】

Last time he fought in the arena, Su Xiao lost one match. At that time, opponents within the top 10,000 of the Fourth Tier arena were all disgusting.

But today, Su Xiao's strength was very different from before. He chose to match opponents.

【Matching opponent...】

【Matching complete, opponent ranking 9438th.】

The familiar feeling of teleportation appeared. When his vision recovered, Su Xiao was already standing on a circular arena platform. Because both sides had entered, the atmosphere in the audience seats began to liven up.

Su Xiao's opponent was a long-legged royal sister holding a leather whip. Before the competition even started, she gave Su Xiao a flirtatious look.

"If you can defeat me, I'll let you have a go."

The whip-wielding royal sister giggled, her expression charming.

Soon, a countdown appeared above the arena.

【Competition, start!】

The battle began. Su Xiao didn't rush at the enemy. After drawing Checking Zhan Long Shan, he actually slashed his own chest.

Blood splattered. Su Xiao checked his current HP. This was the first time he had personally felt how sharp Checking Zhan Long Shan was. With his physique, one slash took 29% of his HP. One had to know, this was even excluding the damage from Green Steel Shadow.

Su Xiao's puzzling move caused the whip-wielding royal sister not to rush forward. Just then, Su Xiao slashed his chest two more times.

"Not good."

The whip-wielding royal sister's body tensed, subconsciously regarding Su Xiao as a pervert who liked self-mutilation. Fighting such an enemy was clearly not a pleasant experience. It was fine if she won, but if she lost, the process would definitely be a shadow she would never forget for the rest of her life.

After his HP dropped below 35%, Su Xiao lowered his body.

Bang! An air explosion spread, and Su Xiao disappeared from where he was, his speed exceeding the limit. When he appeared again, he was already behind the whip-wielding royal sister. A streak of blood floated in mid-air. Su Xiao had used the Absolute Shadow Flash ability.

With a crack, light particles exploded, and the whip-wielding royal sister was sent back to the lounge. The entire battle took 2.8 seconds.
