300: Chapter 300 The Transaction in Progress! Yun Kai's Unexpected Discovery!

When it was confirmed that what Zhang Jian said was indeed three-star, Ming Kai and his son were first and foremost overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

They felt that...

If they traded at this price, Zhang Jian would definitely suffer a huge loss.

Thinking back to how they had initially wanted to make a little profit from this transaction to save up some Cultivate resources for themselves,

the father and son felt deeply ashamed.

“My Lord, whatever we can do, please do not hesitate to command us!”

Ming Kai's attitude had undergone an earth-shattering change compared to before.

On one hand, he was emotionally grateful.

Whoever helped his son was his benefactor.

On the other hand,

Zhang Jian's mysterious and unpredictable methods filled him with deep awe.

Faced with their eagerness, Zhang Jian did not make any unreasonable demands.

He simply traded over the star cores on hand and instructed them to help purchase some practical Star Arts.

Upon receiving the star cores, Ming Kai immediately ordered his subordinates to gather what was needed.

This time, because they were in a rather tight spot, Zhang Jian also converted the eight-star star core they had brought out earlier into its corresponding value.

And the twenty-three six-star and two seven-star star cores in his hands were the first batch of resources.

Speaking of which, it was quite interesting.

To quickly gather a batch of resources, Zhang Jian had almost prepared to decompose those two seven-star star cores.

He was stopped by Yun Kai.

According to Yun Kai, since Zhang Jian could gain Yun Xin as his first believer, why not look further ahead?

Placing two seven-star star cores in the outside world would already be incredible treasures!

Even if they didn't expose Zhang Jian's talent to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves,

simply trading them as normal star cores for resources wouldn't be any worse than Zhang Jian decomposing them.

Perhaps if they met someone who knew their worth, they might even gain a couple more believers.

Zhang Jian found this reasonable, so he traded them over first.

Although, with his current harvest from decomposition, decomposing a seven-star star core would yield more than exchanging it for six-star ones at normal market prices,

the possibility of gaining believers was still quite tempting.

Among the people from the Water Blue Planet,

the three team members who had already made a Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm could at most only bear seven-star star cores.

Furthermore, they were still slowly absorbing them to replenish their Star Power limit.

Reaching their own limits and making a Breakthrough to the next stage was not something that could be done in a day or two.

Leaving these two seven-star star cores sitting around would be a waste; it would be better to let Yun Xin on the other planet develop rapidly.

Besides,

with the current circulation of resources, six-star star cores were no longer a limiting factor for him to synthesize star cores.

Eight-star and nine-star ones might still require a massive accumulation of quantity and some luck.

But for seven-star ones, it was truly as easy as pie!

...

In the VIP private room of the Evernight Chamber of Commerce,

Yun Kai had already been haggling with the steward sitting opposite him for over an hour.

Ultimately, they finalized the deal at a ratio of 250 to 1.

In exchange, he obtained 500 five-star star cores from the other party.

Although this price was still a bit far from the absolute limit on the black market,

and even worse than the transaction records at auctions,

compared to the maximum exchange rate of 220 to 1 offered by ordinary chambers of commerce, Yun Kai was already very satisfied.

Most importantly, the chamber of commerce of his master clan had safety guarantees, eliminating the risk of being robbed and murdered after handing over the goods.

However, they couldn't reach an agreement regarding the six-star star cores.

Yun Kai wanted to exchange all of them for three-star star cores to maintain Yun Xin's daily Cultivate.

But the other party only offered a standard price of 350 to 1.

Even if all twenty-three were exchanged together, there was no discount at all.

In a fit of pique, Yun Kai rejected the other party's price and left in a hurry.

On the eighth floor of the chamber of commerce,

the round-faced steward who had just traded with Yun Kai, eyes flickering, went to his room, locked the door, and dialed a communication with a special signal.

“My Lord, Yun Kai of the Bluebird Clan just came to my place and exchanged two seven-star star cores for a batch of five-star ones.”

“I don't know where he got these resources. He claimed he obtained them by accident on a battlefield, and since his family is small and his business is humble, he couldn't afford to use them, so he wanted to exchange them for some Advanced star cores.”

“Yes, My Lord, you are wise. I saw that his words were vague and his eyes were drifting; there is definitely something wrong!”

“Good, good, good! Then I will trouble you, My Lord, to put in a few good words for me in front of Saint Yu Daocheng!”

Hanging up the communication, the round-faced steward had an extremely smug expression.

Looking through the window at Yun Kai downstairs from the chamber of commerce, he snorted coldly in his heart.

“A destitute fellow, yet you still want to secretly develop and intercept the Saint Lord's opportunities?”

“Truly not knowing the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth!”

...

Stepping out of the chamber of commerce's main entrance, a cold breeze blew. Looking at the six-star star cores in his hand that hadn't been traded, Yun Kai felt a bit of regret.

If he were to go to other chambers of commerce now, as a member of the Evernight Clan, it wouldn't look good if he was seen.

Furthermore, two seven-star star cores could still be explained as a fortuitous encounter to gloss things over.

But over twenty six-star star cores were not something a desperate Transcendence Realm cultivator could easily produce.

In the end, he stomped his foot.

He couldn't cause more trouble!

Forget it.

I'll go back first with these resources, have Yun Xin imprint some star cores, and trade them to Lord Zhang Jian.

Feeling a trace of fatigue in his body, he felt somewhat helpless.

Lately, he had been overworking himself and hadn't focused on Cultivate for a long time.

This had caused his Realm to become somewhat unstable again.

Slipping from the Peak of the Transcendence Realm decades ago to the eighth stage of the planet-level.

Lately, he felt like he couldn't even stabilize his strength at the seventh stage of the planet-level.

Previously, for the sake of Yun Xin's future, he had given up on himself and barely invested any resources in his own body.

Now, things had taken a turn for the better.

His son would surely soar to the sky, with boundless prospects.

As his father, he couldn't fall too far behind either.

A surge of pride rose in his heart.

At worst, he would keep these six-star ones for his own Cultivate.

Taking an airship back to his own planet, he didn't even have time to rest before handing the 500 star cores over to Yun Xin for synthesis.

He then entered another secret chamber and picked up a six-star star core.

Immersing his mind, his inner vision manifested.

Before Yun Kai's eyes, he saw the star cores that were deeply rooted and constantly revolving inside his body.

There were a total of twenty-five of them.

However,

the twenty-one star cores representing several Realms from one-star to six-star shone dazzlingly, slowly revolving around a six-star one that had made a Breakthrough for promotion, running extremely stably.

But the remaining four that underwent Fusion after the seven-star level were all somewhat tottering, their light dim.

Yun Kai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If this continued, he might drop back to the six-star level.

Fortunately, there was still hope.

He slowly tightened his grip on the star core in his hand, striving to establish a connection.

Although his strength had declined severely, he had once been at the Peak of the Transcendence Realm after all, and his comprehension of star cores was incomparable to that of ordinary Transcendence Realm cultivators.

Almost in just an instant,

he established a connection with the six-star star core in his hand.

He could feel even more clearly in his heart that he could absolutely succeed in integrating this star core into his body, making it the twenty-sixth star core inside him.

And for him, who had originally used a six-star star core to make a Breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm,

if he started from now and filled all the remaining star core slots in his body with six-star ones,

his strength would be twenty percent stronger than at his Peak!

Yun Kai was overjoyed.

Just as he was about to absorb it,

a figure abruptly appeared in his mind.

This scene felt somewhat familiar.

He instantly remembered.

The process Yun Xin had described of seeing Zhang Jian's figure during his Breakthrough and subsequently gaining faith was exactly like this.

Yun Kai was first stunned.

Then, he was ecstatic.

Do I also have the opportunity to believe in Lord Zhang Jian?
