Cosmic Trading System

In the Civilization Star Domain of mankind, Star Beasts at the early stage of Level 10 were hard to come by.

However, a Star Beast of this level was not a concern for Lin Yun.

Star Beasts were typically gigantic in size and generally more formidable than human Cultivators of the same level. However, their limited intelligence made their potential limited as well.

If this Star-Roar Beast was indeed in the early stage of Level 10, no matter how powerful it was, it could only match up to a typical Cultivator in the Mid Term Realm. So that was about it.

By now, Lin Yun was capable of defeating typical cultivators of the Mid Term Realm, and even challenge those in the advanced stages of the same level.

He alone was more than enough to defeat this Star Beast.

Adding Yang One to Yang Eleven and Shengyi to the mix, even if anything unexpected happened, they would probably have no trouble handling it.

"Coordinates 7785, 6683, 9526... Launch!"

Lin Yun pointed out the destination and promptly issued the command.

"Shengyi, continue with the interrogation of the Black Skeleton..."

Afterwards, Lin Yun left them with this comment and proceeded with the teleportation.

...

Remarkably, Shengyi continued to extract more information out of the Black Skeleton in the time that followed.

It turned out to be 300 billion Spirit Crystals and resources worth about 200 billion Spirit Crystals.

These were the secret resources reserved by the Black Skeleton in case of emergency, to help bounce back.

The place they found out was right on their way to the Heavenly-luck Flower. All they needed to do was to take a detour.

500 billion Spirit Crystals were worth the trip.

Two days later, Lin Yun and the others arrived at the place where the Black Skeleton had stashed its wealth and indeed harvested as many Spirit Crystals and resources.

"Five days away from our destination, we will cross a powerful force that Mr. Ming has not traded with yet..."

Looking at the star map, Lin Yun commented softly.

They could drop by this powerful force as they passed it, looking for opportunities to make some more profit.

As for the Heavenly-luck Flower, he was not planning to trade it on the Cosmic Trading System. He intended to use it personally or let those close to him use it. Therefore, making more Spirit Crystals was rather necessary.

Three days later, they arrived within the scope of this big power.

A half-day later, Lin Yun had garnered over 900 billion Spirit Crystals from this force.

The larger forces had mostly been visited by him and Mr. Ming, and the remaining factions had progressively decreasing funds.

The party returned to their battleship and set off again.

Two days later, they finally reached the Star Domain indicated by the Black Skeleton as the location of the Heavenly-luck Flower.

This seemed to be a somewhat barren Star Domain, along the route Lin Yun saw a sparse number of administrative stars, but more resource stars.

"Could this barrenness be due to the higher number of Star Beasts in this Star Domain?"

Lin Yun pondered.

Along the way, they encountered many Star Beasts, as well as many hunting fleets, which was a sight rarely seen in the other Star Domains of the Kodis Empire.

Speaking of it, this was already on the fringe of Kodis Empire's Star Domain.

Around it, there were two other Level 5 Civilizations, one a Cultivation Civilization and the other a technological one.

It was rumored that the natural power there was thin and the resources quite scarce. Moreover, they had to offer tributes to the Kodis Empire every year. Perhaps that was why the Kodis Empire had not annexed them.

With a satisfactory extent of territory, there was no sense in over-expanding.

Allowing those civilizations to develop on their own and to offer tributes might be more beneficial for everyone.

"I wonder if these two Level 5 Civilizations have masters of the Cosmic Trading System. If things don't work out in the Kodis Empire, could we consider expanding to these Level 5 Civilizations?" Looking at the map marks indicating the two Level 5 Civilizations, Zhao Gang contemplated.

"Although the difference between Level 5 and Level 6 Civilizations is only one level, there is a vast difference in their development status. This not only refers to the strength of natural power, but also involves the quality of population, earning capacity, consumer ability, among others.

In Kodis Empire, we can make one trillion Spirit Crystals from one powerful force, but if we move to a Level 5 Civilization, we might not be able to make a hundred billion Spirit Crystals from a powerful force there. It would be better to find a thriving administrative star within the Kodis Empire," Lin Yun advised.

Making 100 billion Spirit Crystals from a force in a Level 5 Civilization was already an optimistic estimate.

For example, how many Spirit Crystals had he made from Fang Ao's Heavenly Bamboo Star, which was barely a Level 4 Cultivation Civilization?

Of course, the Heavenly Bamboo Star, despite not having officially ventured into space yet, nor having experienced various explosive growth periods, was not representative of most Level 4 Civilizations.

However, other Level 4 Civilizations weren't any better either.

By the same token, Level 5 Civilizations, sandwiched between Level 4 and Level 6 Civilizations, had a significant gap compared to Level 6 Civilizations.

Through various posts made by other Cosmic Trading System masters on the Cosmic Trading System, he had gotten quite familiar with these matters.

"Okay then!" Zhao Gang responded without a word.

"Look, we're almost there..."

About ten minutes later, Zhao Gang looked at the star map ahead and shouted in delight.

"Seems like there are others present..." His excitement soon gave way to a furrowed brow.

Indeed, on the star map, there were several fleets around the location of the Heavenly-luck Flower.

"This Heavenly-luck Flower, although located in a Star Domain replete with Star Beasts and having blossomed for the past ten thousand years, especially attracting the attention of Star Beasts, it isn't surprising that it's been discovered by others..."

Lin Yun stated gravely.

He had expected this situation before he came.

If the Heavenly-luck Flower had not been discovered by others, that would be just fine.

If it had been discovered by others, that was also normal. In that case, he would just have to fight for it.

He couldn't possibly give up on such a rare treasure.

Whooosh -- Whoosh --

As Lin Yun and Zhao Gang were discussing, Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Fang Ao, and others appeared in a flash.

"Brother."

"Lin Yun."

Xia Qingqing and Lin Mengmeng greeted him.

"That's the fleet of the Mohe Empire, and also the Blood Slaughter Nation..."

Looking at the star map ahead, two increasingly large fleet images, Fang Ao frowned.

"Mohe Empire, Blood Slaughter Nation, are these the two Level 5 Civilizations nearby?" Lin Yun asked.

"Yes, Mohe Empire is a Level 5 technological civilization with a moderate strength - not something to worry about. But the Blood Slaughter Nation is a Cultivation Civilization and it is said that they have a Level 10 cultivator. We must not be careless about..." Fang Ao started, but trailed off.

He initially wanted to tell Lin Yun to be careful, but after a pause, he realized how pointless his warning would be.

Around Lin Yun were over ten Cultivators of Peak Level 10, including a terrifying one whose Martial Arts was at Level 11. How much importance would Lin Yun attach to a single Level 10 Cultivator?

The one who needed to be careful and worried, should be the other party.

"It seems I was overthinking..." Fang Ao laughed wryly.
