Chapter 2804

Before going to the Ancient Battlefield, Su Xiao had to sell several items first. Aura Release ability had evolved to lv. 1, but its tier was much higher than before, so the cost of a single upgrade shouldn't be low.

Bringing Xiang Bubu Wang and Baha, Su Xiao rushed to the trading street. Xiang Bubu Wang and Amu were responsible for repairing the exclusive room and purchasing furniture, etc. The same style as before would do, as Xiang Bubu Wang occasionally dismantled the house, so it was very skilled in purchasing furniture.

After strolling around the trading market, Su Xiao arrived at the nearby trading street. Although the trading market was larger, high-quality items rarely appeared there. Occasionally, good things put out by newcomers were bought by merchants waiting there, then sold at high prices to mid-to-high-tier contractors.

Basic passive scrolls, world-class treasure chests, essence, and other items also had output at low tiers. Newcomer contractors didn't know the price and thought they had marked high prices, but in reality, they hadn't even sold them for one-thousandth of the price, such as basic passive scrolls and world-class treasure chests.

Walking into the trading street, there were many fewer contractors passing by. Su Xiao found a stall at random and, after paying the rental fee, sat behind the stall and began to price several items.

【New Moon Bud】 was priced at 3200 Soul Coins, 【Hunting God】 at 950 Soul Coins. This thing was too niche; there wouldn't be many people buying it in the Reincarnation Paradise.

【Talent Stone】 was priced at 300 Soul Coins; adventure groups would be willing to buy this thing. 【Crystal Gun】 was 100 Paradise Coins, just waiting for a merchant to buy it; this thing had professional prerequisite requirements.

Besides these, Su Xiao also put up the 【Basic Passive · Charm Spirit】 scroll. This thing was only for exchange, not for sale. Basic passive abilities with Strength, Agility, and Stamina characteristics would all do. If it were a basic passive ability with Willpower and Soul Strength characteristics, that would be even better.

The stall opened. Baha volunteered to experience the feeling of running a stall, but a few minutes later, Baha was almost brain-hemorrhaged with anger. Opposite the stall was a bald man with tattooed arms; the expression on this guy's face was twisted.

Miraculously, a while later, Baha actually sold 【Hunting God】. Xiang Bubu Wang to the side was full of question marks.

Ignoring Baha's unique selling method, Su Xiao took out three marks from his storage space. These were 【Directional Coordinate (Holy Spirit-grade)】.

Consuming 10 Soul Coins to notarize a 【Directional Coordinate】, its attributes appeared.

【Directional Coordinate】

Origin: Apocalypse Paradise

Quality: Holy Spirit-grade

Category: One-time item.

Usage Effect: After consuming this item, a small fixed-point spatial coordinate will be constructed.

Hint: If two spatial coordinates are connected, mutual teleportation can be performed. This is ultra-long-distance teleportation. There cannot be overly strong energy interference in the surrounding area. Spatial coordinates can be reused.

Hint: This item cannot perform cross-world teleportation.

Introduction: Time is life.

Selling Price: 420000 Paradise Coins.

【Directional Coordinate】 could not be used in combat, nor could it be set in dangerous areas. This thing had no concealment, but that didn't mean it was useless.

If entering a very large world, then 【Directional Coordinate】 would be useful. After setting three coordinates in different regions, not only could it save time on the road, but many plans could also turn from impossible to possible.

For example, in the Canglong Continent, as long as coordinates were set in advance in Black Melt City, Winter City, and the Royal Capital, Su Xiao could be in Black Melt City one moment, and the next moment appear near Winter City in the North, or appear in the Duoyin Royal Capital.

The only pity was that 【Directional Coordinate】 could not be moved after being set and could only be fixed at one point.

After running the stall for a few minutes, Xiang Bubu Wang sold 【New Moon Bud】. In this way, Su Xiao's existing Soul Coins reached 4407, enough to go raise Aura Release.

Leaving the trading street, Su Xiao didn't go directly to the Skill Upgrade Hall but arrived near stall No. 2100 in the trading market, where God Emperor and Old Goat were waiting.

"Brother Bai Ye."

God Emperor's aura was very steady. He was sitting behind the stall and handed over a scroll.

Su Xiao took the scroll. He felt that he had a lot of fate with this kind of thing recently.

【Basic Passive · Rain Pheasant, lv. 1.】

Type: Basic Passive Scroll

Prerequisite: None

Skill Effect: For every 5 points of Charm attribute raised, Agility attribute will be additionally raised by 1 point.

Skill Upgrade Requirement: Charm attribute 3 points or higher (Unavailable).

This was for assassination-type contractors. There was a large category of assassination types that were dual-specialized in Agility and Charm. They had another name called Mind Killers. Agility attribute provided high mobility and could boost technique-type abilities for small weapons, such as Dagger Mastery, etc.

The Charm-characteristic mind branch could help them construct weapons, a type of weapon that ignored physical and energy defense and targeted the mind. This type of contractor could perform mid-range assassinations, and they would succeed with the slightest carelessness.

Su Xiao already had one Charm-characteristic basic passive scroll. Having one more at this time was not bad. In the trading market, compared to acquiring them with Soul Coins, exchanging basic passive scrolls was easier.

After completing the transaction with God Emperor, Su Xiao headed straight for the Skill Upgrade Hall. Ten minutes later, inside the skill upgrade cabin.

【To raise 'Aura Release lv. 1', you need to pay 50 Soul Coins. Yes/No to pay.】

The initial upgrade cost was not low. Su Xiao chose to upgrade. Because the tier of Aura Release had been raised, he couldn't be sure if raising Aura Release at this time would still allow him to reach the Ancient Battlefield.

Paying 50 Soul Coins, spatial fluctuations appeared around Su Xiao, which made him feel much more at ease.

The feeling of teleportation struck. When Su Xiao's vision recovered, he had arrived at the Ancient Battlefield.

The ground was dark red, as if soaked in blood. The corpse of a giant dragon lay prone on a small hill, holding a black heart in its mouth. Not far from it was a giant wearing red armor, with an empty chest.

The corpses of powerful individuals of various races were scattered on the Ancient Battlefield. Because there were corpses of the Demon race, the Ancient Battlefield was filled with a sulfur smell. Just smelling this scent made one feel dizzy.

Scarlet mist drifted on the Ancient Battlefield. This was the blood energy of countless powerful individuals before their deaths gathered here.

Su Xiao stood on the dark red ground. The blood energy of the surrounding Ancient Battlefield surged toward him. This blood energy had extremely strong erosive power and could not be absorbed directly; instead, one had to use their own aura to resist it, thereby raising their own aura.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't do that. He released his blood energy, leaped, jumped onto the skull of a giant dragon, and sat cross-legged on it.

Green Qing Qing Gang Ying surged in Su Xiao's palm. He converted 27000 points of mana into Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, thereby constructing a simplified version of the Devour Core.

A few minutes later, a simplified version of the Devour Core appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Although it was a simplified version, this Devour Core was incomparable to the previous few times. At that time, he didn't have so much Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy.

Having constructed the simplified Devour Core, an energy line the thickness of a little finger linked the simplified Devour Core and Su Xiao.

Inside this energy line, there were 32 small simplified Devour Cores. The large simplified Devour Core was responsible for absorbing more Ancient Battlefield blood energy and completing the first filtration, purification, and refinement of the Ancient Battlefield blood energy, then entering the little-finger-thick energy line to undergo 32 more precise purifications and refinements.

The simplified Devour Core floated above Su Xiao. Following his manipulation, dozens of small holes on the simplified Devour Core opened, and like a long whale sucking water, it instantly sucked the Ancient Battlefield blood energy within a hundred meters around into it.

Crack, crack, crack...

Imperceptible cracks appeared on the simplified Devour Core. This thing was a consumable. Having this change was actually a good thing, representing that the erosive power of the Ancient Battlefield blood energy had all been consumed by the simplified Devour Core.

A large surge of blood energy was sucked into the simplified Devour Core. The simplified Devour Core began to operate, purifying and refining this blood energy.

Soon, a surge of light red energy surged out from the simplified Devour Core. At this time, the simplified Devour Core was already blood-red, and its interior was full of blood energy impurities.

The pure blood energy was conducted toward Su Xiao along the energy line. The 32 small Devour Cores inside the energy line began to operate, purifying this blood energy time and time again. By the end, the blood energy had been purified to be almost transparent, and only a very faint red could be vaguely seen.

The blood energy that had undergone multiple purifications merged into Su Xiao's aura. He closed his eyes to perceive himself; his aura was rapidly strengthening, and no side effects appeared.

Confirming this point, Su Xiao increased the absorption power of the Devour Core. A few seconds later, the Ancient Battlefield blood energy in a very large area began to surge toward him.

Two kilometers away, a lidless stone coffin was located here. Seemingly due to the change in the Ancient Battlefield blood energy, a withered hand reached out from the stone coffin and pressed on the edge of the stone coffin. Several cracks appeared on the stone coffin.

"Ha~"

A withered corpse with sparse hair rose from the stone coffin. It breathed out white air from its mouth. From the hole in that withered face, one could see its dry yellow teeth. Unmasked malice was released from its body.

"Who dares to disturb our sleep."

Boom!

A loud explosion came from afar. The withered corpse's aura condensed, and it immediately turned its head to look to the right. A figure was standing on the giant's corpse a few meters away, and the Devour Core to the side was still absorbing the surrounding blood energy.

"Today, it is your death..."

Zing.

A green-blue blade light slashed out. Both the stone coffin and the withered corpse were shattered. On the head of the withered corpse that had been slashed into two halves, there was an expression of disbelief.
