Chapter 331 Exchange of Rare Materials
Yun Muhan walked steadily down the street, his mind racing as he quickly planned his next move.
Two thousand gold coins and two hundred amethyst crystals—although a single gold coin could be equivalent to several years' income for an ordinary family—in a sacred land of alchemy and talisman-making like the Realm God Kingdom, their purchasing power might be far less than expected.
“Indeed, the currency exchange rate is a headache, but we can’t give up because of it,” Yun Muhan said in a deep voice, his eyes searching for possible clues among the shops on both sides of the street.
Their first needs were to find ancient resin and Netherworld Crystal. These two materials were not common in the Realm of Gods and were quite expensive.
Yun Muhan knew he had to find a suitable way to trade, or look for some special trading markets where prices might be more reasonable.
His steps stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary herbal medicine shop. The shop's facade was not conspicuous, but Yun Muhan noticed that the stone lions at the entrance were carved with exceptional detail, their eyes seemingly containing profound wisdom.
Yun Muhan entered the shop, which was filled with the aroma of various medicinal herbs. He went straight to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "I need ancient resin and Yellow Spring Crystal. Do you have any in stock?"
The shopkeeper looked up at Yun Muhan, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "Both of these materials are extremely precious. We do have them in our shop, but they are quite expensive. Moreover, due to the exchange rate, you may need to prepare more currency."
Yun Muhan nodded. He took out some amethyst from his ring and placed it on the counter: "This is my current currency. If it's not enough, perhaps we can discuss other ways of trading."
The shopkeeper carefully examined the quality and quantity of the amethyst, then nodded: "These amethysts can be used as part of the payment, but some more will be needed. We can discuss some special transaction methods, such as barter, or you can provide some information or services that we are interested in."
Yun Muhan's heart stirred; he knew this was an opportunity. His movements were gentle and mysterious, as if he were performing a ritual that only he could understand.
As my fingers gently brushed against the ring, the seemingly ordinary ring suddenly emitted a faint glow.
As soon as he thought of it, the light on the surface of the ring flickered slightly, and then some precious herbs and alchemy materials slowly emerged from the ring.
These herbs and alchemical materials were all precious treasures he had acquired during his travels in his previous life, or through careful trading.
They are stored in the ring's alternate dimension, and despite the passage of time, they still retain their original purity and vitality.
These materials are undoubtedly coveted treasures for alchemists in the Realm of Gods. Their value lies not only in their rarity but also in their magical efficacy.
The leaves of the herbs still carried the freshness of the morning dew, as if they had just been picked from the embrace of nature, emitting a faint fragrance that calmed the mind.
Each of those alchemy materials shimmered with a strange light. They were either crystal-clear ores, exotic animal bones, or rare spiritual fruits, each containing powerful spiritual energy that was enough to drive alchemists crazy.
He took out these precious materials one by one and placed them in front of him, handling each one with utmost care, as if they were the most precious works of art.
“These materials might serve as supplementary payment,” Yun Muhan said.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He carefully examined the herbs and alchemy materials, then nodded: "Very good, these materials are very valuable to us. We can make a deal."
Yun Muhan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that through this method, he could not only save his currency but also obtain the ancient resin and Yellow Spring Crystal he desperately needed. It was a successful transaction and an important step in his journey.
After the transaction was completed, a satisfied smile appeared on Yun Muhan's face, and his movements became exceptionally cautious and meticulous.
He gently stored the ancient resin and precious Yellow Spring Crystal into his storage space; these materials were undoubtedly priceless to him.
His fingers were gentle and steady, as if touching the most delicate porcelain, ensuring that every crystal and every drop of resin was properly placed and undamaged.
The ancient resin exudes a faint fragrance, and its amber-like color appears particularly mysterious under the light, while the Yellow Spring Crystal shimmers with a deep light, as if it contains endless power.
Yun Muhan's appreciation for these materials was evident in every subtle movement he made. He knew the importance of these materials and the role they might play in the future.
Dugu Jianling: "Why are all the people heading east of the city? You should go and take a look too. If there's no danger, I won't show myself. The people in the Realm God Kingdom are all worldly-wise. If they recognize me as a divine artifact, then it will be dangerous."
Yun Muhan nodded, understanding Dugu Jianling's concerns. The Realm God Kingdom was teeming with experts; if Dugu Jianling's identity were exposed, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble and conflict.
He replied softly, "Alright, I'll go check on the situation. You can rest in my ring for now."
As the crowd surged forward, Yun Muhan followed them toward the east gate.
The shops lining the streets gradually thinned out, replaced by makeshift stalls and bustling crowds. People's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, and murmurs of conversation rose and fell.
"Have you heard? The alchemy competition in the east of the city opens today. Alchemy masters from all over will gather there to showcase their skills!"
"Yes, this is a grand annual event in the World God Kingdom. Not only can you see exciting alchemy duels, but you also have the opportunity to buy precious pills."
Yun Muhan's heart stirred; the alchemy competition was a good opportunity for him. He could use this opportunity to learn more about alchemy techniques and the latest trends, and might even encounter merchants selling the materials he needed.
Following the flow of people, Yun Muhan arrived at the square in the east of the city. A huge alchemy platform had been set up in the center of the square, surrounded by concentric circles of spectator seats.
Various alchemical tools were laid out on the stage, and the furnace fire was already lit, radiating a scorching heat. Several alchemists dressed in robes of various colors stood on the stage, ready to begin their performance.
Yun Muhan found a seat and scanned the stage and audience. He noticed that besides the ordinary audience members, there were also some merchants and alchemists dressed in luxurious clothes, their eyes sharp, as if searching for something.
Yun Muhan understood, of course, that these people were probably looking for partners or buying rare materials.
His gaze finally fell on an old man's stall. The old man's stall was not conspicuous, but a sign on the stall caught Yun Muhan's attention—"Exchange of Rare Materials".
Yun Muhan was overjoyed; he might be able to find the remaining materials he needed here. He immediately stood up, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the old man's stall.
The old man looked aged, but his eyes revealed a wisdom that came from years of experience.
Yun Muhan asked respectfully, "Senior, I have some materials I would like to exchange. I wonder if you would be interested?"
The old man looked up at Yun Muhan and smiled slightly: "Young man, what treasures do you have? Take them out and let me see."
Yun Muhan took out some precious materials from the ring. These were all collected during his journey in his previous life, and each one was a rare treasure.
The old man's eyes lit up. He carefully examined the materials and then nodded: "Indeed, these materials are valuable. Tell me, what do you want to exchange them for?"
Yun Muhan was overjoyed; he knew his chance had come. He took out a list from his pocket, which listed the materials he still needed: strange crystal cores, dream god fruit, agave, datura flowers, jasmine, and lilies.
