Chapter 1615

The self-introductions at the beginning were meaningless to them.

In the Battlefield of Despair, there were only two kinds of people. The former were the living and the latter were the dead. In this place, who cared what you were called or where you came from?

However, Zi Chen's last sentence was like a hammer to their hearts, causing them to tremble and their hearts to fiercely beat.

A late-stage Seventh Stage existence looked at Zi Chen excitedly and asked, "What did you say … you … are …"

Because he was too excited, his voice was trembling.

He was afraid that the words he had just heard were an illusion. Alchemists, to the current him or them, were really too important.

Zi Chen looked at him and gently smiled, "You didn't hear wrong. Or rather, you didn't hear wrong. I am an alchemist, an alchemist who can refine Spirit Crystals."

"Ah!"

Everyone couldn't help but lose their composure and cry out. There were even some people who were prepared to cheer.

The Spirit Crystals at the feet of this human called Zi Chen were extremely tempting to them. However, as an alchemist, Zi Chen was more useful to them.

This was the main difference between them, who pursued the path of the strong, and those scumbags. Scumbags only wanted to rob and not think about tomorrow. However, they didn't only think about tomorrow, but also the future.

"Alright, that's all for the self-introductions. How many good things do you have on you? Take them out and give them to me. However, I'll say this first. I can only refine Spirit Crystals. As for the other healing medicines, I don't have the materials to refine them." After saying this, Zi Chen sat down defenselessly.

Of course, if anyone really thought that Zi Chen was defenseless and wanted to take advantage of the situation, they would undoubtedly suffer a great loss.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he could refine Spirit Crystals. What else could they hope for?

As for their injuries, they would naturally recover in time.

Looking at the Spirit Crystals in front of them, everyone hesitated. Because there was a limit to the number of Spirit Crystals, they had a total of twelve people. Who would be the first to exchange was a problem.

And now, every Spirit Crystal was equivalent to an extra life.

Everyone looked at each other warily and didn't immediately step forward.

Zi Chen smiled casually and said, "Don't worry, I still have some Spirit Crystals on me."

Finally, a cultivator in the middle stage of the seventh layer stepped forward and said nervously, "How do I exchange the tree sap for spirit crystals?"

One must know that back then in the Royal Sky City, it was a hundred for a piece of jade. But now, they didn't dare to make such a guarantee because the other party was the only alchemist here.

The others were also a little nervous. The exchange price of the tree sap would indicate the increase in the exchange price of other things.

Zi Chen stretched out his finger and gestured the number seven.

"Seven hundred." Everyone's expression changed. Even they couldn't accept the exchange rate of one to seven.

Zi Chen shook his head. "Seventy."

"What?"

Everyone stared at Zi Chen in disbelief. Such a price, even if it was in the Royal Sky City back then, there was no profit at all. Maybe, if it was placed in the hands of ordinary alchemists, they might even suffer a loss.

Such a low price, could it be that this person had other plans?

For a moment, everyone was on guard again.

Zi Chen didn't care about the thoughts of the others. He continued, "You guys should know that the Royal Sky City has fallen, right?"

Everyone nodded, but the atmosphere was somewhat stifling.

Zi Chen continued, "So, right now, we are a lone army. If we don't support each other, our final outcome would be death."

Everyone was speechless. In such a situation, everyone couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone support each other.

Zi Chen picked up a piece of spirit crystal and weighed it in his hand. Everyone's gazes followed the movement of the spirit crystal. Zi Chen continued, "This is my cost price. The reason why I'm giving it to you guys is because I hope that you guys can agree to a condition of mine."

Everyone was relieved. There were even some who looked at Zi Chen in disdain, thinking that he really had a motive. But in the next moment, those who had such thoughts felt extremely guilty.

"My condition is that if you guys meet other people, I hope that you guys can help them. Or, you guys can use the same price to exchange for some life-saving spirit crystals for them."

Everyone lowered their heads, feeling touched in their hearts.

Clearly, this alchemist wasn't doing this for himself but for others. In the selfish Battlefield of Despair, such a person was naturally rare.

"Alright, let's start the exchange. Let's exchange for tree sap first. If you guys have the heart of a foreign race, you can also exchange for it." Zi Chen interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"We can also exchange for the heart of a foreign race?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course." Zi Chen smiled. "I guarantee that the price will satisfy all of you."

Immediately after, the first cultivator stepped forward and decisively took out 255 portions of tree sap, handing it to Zi Chen.

"Here are ten spirit crystals. Take it."

Zi Chen took out ten spirit crystals and handed it to the other party. The other party received the ten spirit crystals with trembling hands. There was also a small interlude. The other party had over 85 portions of tree sap and wanted to give it to Zi Chen. However, he was rejected by Zi Chen, saying that if you can get over 85 portions of tree sap, you can exchange for one more tree sap.

This person was extremely touched.

These people were all experts. It wouldn't be a problem even if they entered the depths to hunt for tree pith. Unfortunately, their energy consumption was too great and they didn't dare to enter.

Therefore, the next items to be exchanged were all tree sap.

Be it tree sap or tree pith, they were all the same. Currently, Cauldron Spirit could condense one spirit crystal out of thirty portions of tree sap. Therefore, he asked them for seventy.

It wasn't that Zi Chen wasn't willing to lower the price. However, if he were to lower the price, it would undoubtedly arouse their suspicions. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zi Chen asked for seventy.

Each of the cultivators exchanged for a dozen or so spirit crystals. They all had excited looks on their faces.

It was at this moment that the cultivator who was the first to exchange for the spirit crystals hurriedly returned. He was holding a bundle in his hand. The bundle was filled with bulging items. When the bundle was opened, one could see alien hearts sealed with energy. There were at least thirty of them.

Among the thirty hearts, there were a few at the middle stage. The rest were at the early stage.

After bringing the alien hearts to Zi Chen, the cultivator nervously asked, "Can these be exchanged?"

Zi Chen nodded and replied, "Of course you can. However, I am not too familiar with refining alien hearts. Therefore, I won't give you too high a price. At most, I will give you eighty to ninety percent of the price in Imperial Sky City."

The cultivator hastily nodded. Eighty to ninety percent? He thought that Han Shuo would only give him fifty percent.

Zi Chen simply didn't know anything about these hearts. Therefore, he directly gave them the lowest price. Twenty for each of the early seventh stage heart, two hundred for the middle seventh stage heart, and two thousand for the late seventh stage heart.

Soon after, the other cultivators also came over with alien hearts. In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen's ten thousand plus spirit crystals were all exchanged. Apart from that, Zi Chen also owed a debt of five thousand.

He owed it to a late-stage seventh-tier Ascension Stage cultivator. The other party had three hearts of late-stage seventh-tier Ascension Stage cultivators. Zi Chen expressed that he could not accept it. The other party threatened to owe him first, and only offered five thousand.

Zi Chen was speechless.

But when he thought about it, it made sense. The other party definitely couldn't bear to part with them. That was why he wanted to give them to Zi Chen.

"Alright then. I have to find a safe place to refine these things. I will come back here half a month later. At that time, there might be some unexpected surprises." Zi Chen mysteriously smiled.

"An unexpected surprise. Could it be a law crystal?" Everyone felt their hearts trembling.

Zi Chen took out the interspatial pouch in his hand and smiled, "With so many alien hearts, I think I should be able to condense some. Naturally, the price wouldn't be lower than the price in Imperial Sky City. If you guys want to exchange for them, it's best that you kill more alien races. Now is a dangerous time. I suggest you guys form a group."

"Form a group?" Everyone was stunned.

Zi Chen smiled. He glanced at the late seventh stage expert who owed him a debt and continued, "After forming a group, your strength will increase and your rewards will naturally be greater. In addition … you won't die so easily."

After speaking, Zi Chen walked towards the depths of the forest. Undoubtedly, he was charging in recklessly, not caring about the consumption of his energy.

Even though everyone had hundreds and thousands of spiritual crystals on them, they couldn't help but click their tongues at this sight. They inwardly exclaimed that this was what it meant to be rich and overbearing.

After clearing a safe area and making sure that no one was around, Zi Chen transmitted his voice to Cauldron, "Senior, how is it?"

"The more the better." Cauldron Spirit's laughter sounded.

The more he refined, the deeper his understanding of the edicts of this world would be.

As for the time required to refine, it was nothing to Cauldron Spirit.

One must know that back in the Martial Heaven Continent, Cauldron Spirit could refine hundreds of thousands of pellets in one go.

As for the tree sap that Zi Chen exchanged for, he could refine them all in one go.

As for the alien hearts, he needed to refine them three times.

He could refine all of them one level at a time.

In this world, Cauldron Spirit could be considered an existence that completely ignored the edicts. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of the consumption of his energy. However, Zi Chen couldn't. He had to put all of them into his cauldron. During this period of time, he would consume a large amount of his soul energy.

This was also why the edicts were unable to do anything to Cauldron Spirit. Instead, they gave Zi Chen a heavier punishment.

The first thing that Cauldron Spirit refined were the early seventh-stage alien hearts. As for the law chips, Zi Chen continued to refine and comprehend the edicts contained within them.

Next was the middle stage, the late stage, and finally the tree sap.

Cauldron Spirit was able to refine a portion of the edicts from each alien heart. After exchanging for over a hundred early seventh-stage alien hearts, Zi Chen was able to refine over a hundred portions of the edicts.

During the refining process, Zi Chen's understanding of the edicts had undoubtedly sped up significantly. His strength was also constantly increasing.

At the same time as his strength was increasing, Zi Chen's realm was also increasing. His domain realm in particular was growing at a much faster rate. Seemingly due to the fact that Zi Chen had mastered some of the edicts of the edicts, his domain realm was also growing at a much faster rate.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. When the appointed time arrived, Zi Chen once again barged his way to the outside world.

When Zi Chen arrived at the outside world, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw the group of people who were already waiting there.

Last time, there were twelve people. But this time, there were eight more people in the group, making it a total of twenty.

These eight newcomers were undoubtedly here to exchange for spiritual crystals.

Fortunately, Zi Chen had the foresight to obtain quite a lot of tree pith in the past half a month. Every pith could be refined into three spiritual crystals.
