Chapter 94: Giving the lotus
Star crystals were the main currency for transactions among high-level warriors and a primary resource for their cultivation.
"With these star crystals, along with the slot in the secret realm, it's barely enough to match the value of the four petals of the Void Lotus," Ye Xuan said.
Most newly discovered spatial dimensions had high values, surpassing even the Moonlit Void Lotus in terms of opportunities and resources.
Using a specially crafted jade knife, Ye Xuan carefully processed the four lotus petals and swiftly sealed them to preserve their spiritual essence.
Chu Feng similarly resealed the remaining lotus petals and roots, stowing them away in his storage ring.
After the transaction, the trust level between the two immediately reached its maximum, and their conversation became even more enthusiastic, as if they were long-lost best friends.
Ye Xuan enthusiastically briefed him on the situation in the secret realm. "The secret realm was discovered on the outskirts of the Kunxu Mountains, not far from the Jiangning base. According to the investigations of many powerful individuals, it holds considerable value. However, the entrance is covered by a mysterious formation, only allowing warriors under thirty to enter. Those above thirty will be crushed upon entry."
Chu Feng nodded. Various secret realms had diverse requirements.
The reason Ye Xuan gave him a slot was probably due to his ability to snatch the Void Lotus from the Devouring Celestial Octopus and defeat a city lord, making him a valuable ally.
"Do you know how many people will participate in this secret realm, and are there formidable opponents?" Chu Feng asked directly.
In such secret realms, no one would show mercy; strength determined everything.
"A thousand people will enter the secret realm this time. The formidable opponents are the four major families in Jiangning: Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue. Among the talents under thirty, the most powerful are Jia Dongyang, Wang Haotian, Shi Jiulong, and Xue Pan. They are all extraordinary geniuses and currently possess the cultivation of the Eight Extremes Realm."
"Five hundred people? That's quite a lot!" Chu Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He silently memorized the names of these four individuals, suspecting that there were more Eight Extremes Realm experts entering the realm.
Deep down, he harbored some apprehension towards the geniuses of Jiangning.
"Do you have information on the secret realm and the main figures participating in it? I want a copy." Chu Feng made his request straightforwardly.
Knowing oneself and the enemy was crucial for a hundred battles with no danger.
"No problem. The secret realm will open in two months, and when you arrive in Jiangning, the information will be delivered to you," Ye Xuan readily agreed.
Then she smiled and said, "By the way, I heard from a friend in the Jiangning Martial Arts Association that you obtained the top spot in the provincial exam. Congratulations!"
Chu Feng grinned, realizing that even though he had reached the level of a town lord, winning the top spot in the exam still seemed somewhat glamorous.
"It's just a virtual reputation. If word gets out, I'm afraid many second-generation rich kids in Jiangning will start eyeing me again!" Chu Feng laughed.
Ye Xuan's beautiful eyes flickered with surprise. This seventeen-year-old's mature mindset was genuinely astonishing.
"Amazing! I heard that Jia Yuewen from the Jia family originally aimed for the top spot. His blood energy score in the exam was 46, and his combat power reached 1.39 million. Now that you've taken the top spot, he might not be pleased. Be careful!" Ye Xuan warned with a smile.
Chu Feng was also secretly amazed; this Jia Yuewen indeed had formidable talent, not much inferior to himself!
However, if this kid thought he could do whatever he wanted with just this level of strength, Chu Feng wouldn't mind giving him a lesson.
After a moment, Chu Feng remembered that he still had many materials from demonic beasts to sell.
"I have a batch of materials from master-level and town lord-level demonic beasts. I wonder if the Nine Cauldrons Commerce is interested in purchasing them?" Chu Feng inquired with a smile.
