--- Chapter 80 ---

At the highest floor of the Black Moon Pagoda, Zi Ji(The Merchant Guild's Master) stared at the young man sitting before him. Even though he disappeared for three years, Zi Ji could still find the resemblance to the Lost Heaven Master's disciple's younger self.

The shocking young talent three years ago has grown into a ferocious monster with unfathomable strength. To destroy a platform made with luminous rainbow stone crystal, which was a peak of Emperor Profound Realm materials, Yu Long probably has reached the early stage of Tyrant Profound Realm.

Yu Long sipped his tea and commented, "Nice tea."

"I'm glad you like it. The Black Moon Merchant Guild always provides the best quality of tea." Zi Ji responded with a humble smile. "This season is quite good. The floral leaves used to make 'Crescent Gold Tea' are growing nicely."

Yu Long nodded because the tea Zi Ji served was actually a rare spiritual medicine that could refine one's mental power. The effect is weak for Yu Long, who has deep and endless mental power.

"So, what's the purpose of your visit? Oh, the disciple of the Lost Heaven Master..." Zi Ji uttered calmly.

The corner of Yu Long's mouth twitched as he waved his hand, "Don't call me like that. Yu Long is fine."

"Then, Young Master Yu Long, may I know why you are here?" Zi Ji fixed his sentence.

Yu Long stared at him and answered, "Just for a breather."

"I've been training in solitary for too long, so my master gives me a leeway to enjoy my time outside."

"Also, sorry for the crystal stone stage and array formation."

"Haha, it's okay. Although the luminous crystal stones are rare, they aren't scarce enough to make my merchant guild flustered. We also have a dedicated array master for this matter." Zi Ji responded with a small laugh.

"A new one will be on the plaza in a week or so."

"You guys are rich." Yu Long chuckled in amusement.

"We are merchants. Money is our thing. They come and go in a matter of seconds..." Zi Ji enjoyed the conversation.

After all, he could show Yu Long that the Black Moon Merchant Guild is the best in the Profound Sky Continent.

"So, I assume you don't want the compensation of one hundred Greater Heart Linking Pills?"

Crash!

Zi Ji choked on his tea and accidentally crushed the armrest of his chair into dust. He failed to control his strength, which allowed Yu Long to determine his cultivation base.

'Hmm, He's at the 8th Level of Sovereign Profound Realm. Not bad for a shady businessman.' Yu Long thought to himself.

However, when Yu Long thought about it, it was 'normal' for this purple-robed elder to reach such a realm.

The public didn't know, but Zi Ji is 'intimately' related to one of the Great Sacred Grounds. Yes, he's the husband of Supreme Ocean Palaca's ruler.

It would be weird if Zi Ji didn't have a high cultivation.

So, this elder is quite fortunate.

"G-Greater Heart Linking Pills..." Zi Ji frowned slightly.

"I-If I may know, what's the effect of this pill?"

Yu Long opened his mouth and answered, "They are two or three times better than ordinary Heart Linking Pills. Upon consumption, one could enjoy the sensitivity for a longer period."

Zi Ji was shocked but tried to calm himself down. "How long?"

"Depends on the person, but usually three hours." Yu Long casually returned.

It left Zi Ji in a difficult position.

When Zi Ji opened the sixth box, Yu Long's eyebrows finally furrowed.

Lies inside the cold wooden box is a heart-shaped crimson crystal with intense blood energy, something one below Tyrant Profound Realm couldn't handle.

An example is the female servant, who has fallen on the ground with a foaming mouth.

"This is..."

"Crimson Heart, a near-extinct core harvested from Tyrant Profound Beast called Olden Wood Nightmare." Zi Ji answered quickly, closing the box again. "This is one rare medicine with the property to refine one's body to the mortal limit."

"However, I must warn you that the process is 'extremely' painful. In ancient records, three people tried to consume the Olden Wood Nightmare's Core a.k.a the Crimson Heart, and two ended up dying from pain..."

"One survived and dominated an era before perishing due to prolonged heart disease."

"And those people were Sovereign Profound Realm Experts!"

It is the kind of treasure one couldn't buy, not because one didn't have money, but because one was afraid of having it.

"I will take it. Next." Yu Long said calmly.

After talking with Yu Long for several minutes, Zi Ji slightly understood the surface personality of Yu Long, so he didn't persuade him further about the Profound Core.

Zi Ji opened the seventh box, and the item inside was a vial of blood.

"This is the blood of a long-extinct Profound Beast. It's called the Great Mawing Beast, a great tonic for a profound cultivator as it strengthens one's profound strength by two levels."

"I'll take it."

"Next."

"8th box. Moon's Blessing."

"A pendant made of pure and refined moon crystal. It increases one's cultivation speed three times, but only for profound practitioners below the Sovereign Profound Realm."

"There is a built-in 'escape array' in the Moon's Blessing that could teleport its wielder from danger. You can set the mark of teleportation, and the limit is two spots. "

"Is there a limit of usage?"

"Unfortunately, Moon's Blessing can only be used once every week because it requires a massive amount of energy to teleport."

"The design is nice. I will take it as well."

"Next."

"Ninth box. This item is something the Black Moon Merchant Guild discovered about sixteen years ago, but even after so long a time, we couldn't determine its origin."

"We called it Star Egg because this sphere-shaped object releases rich star and life energy, which is very beneficial for a certain profound practitioner."

"On top of that, the Star Egg could make one's blood essence recover faster and cause a transformation in one's physique to that of a profound beast's characteristic."

"But don't worry, the transformation is temporary."

"Young Master Yu Long, are you listening?" Zi Ji noticed the quietness.

Yu Long's expression subtly darkened as he gazed into the ninth box. He couldn't be more familiar with this item.

Because it was none other than Essence Sphere, something only he, the Kaiju Maker, could create!

How did Essence Sphere end up here??
