Chapter 1627

Every time Schenker left, they would come to Zi Chen to see if they could exchange for something useful.

Of course, this was limited to the previous twenty people. As for Shun Tiandao and the others, they didn't have so many spirit crystals left.

"What are these?" Seeing the blood-red crystal, everyone came over curiously.

"These are special items that cost ten thousand spirit crystals each. Its only function is to summon something you've used before," Zi Chen explained.

"Is there such a good thing? We can summon anything?" Everyone was a little moved.

"In theory, yes, but having the blood-red crystal is only one of the conditions. As for the thing you summon, the price depends entirely on the value of the item."

"What do you mean?" Everyone was puzzled.

"This blood-red crystal is only a medium, a bridge to the Domain World. It can't really summon. If you want to summon it successfully, you have to pay a certain price. As for what the price is, it has to do with the quality of the thing you want to summon."

Zi Chen's explanation was very clear, and everyone understood. After pondering for a moment, they shook their heads and chose to give up.

They could only summon some weapons, and they couldn't guarantee whether the weapons would be recognized by the Domain World.

Although they had some savings, ten thousand spirit crystals was not a small amount. No one was willing to risk ten thousand spirit crystals.

"Give me one."

Wharton stepped forward and gave Zi Chen five late-stage seventh-layer beast hearts in exchange for a blood-red crystal.

With the blood-red crystal in hand, Wharton's spiritual sense probed it. After a moment, Wharton put away the blood-red crystal and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Obviously, the price of summoning something was a bit high, but this also proved that this thing was special.

"Give me one." Another voice sounded, and the crowd split to the sides. Shun Tiandao walked over.

Although Shun Tiandao was only an early-stage seventh-layer beast, he had killed an eighth-layer beast. No one present dared to underestimate him, not even Wharton.

In addition to Shun Tiandao, Fortune Teller, Man Shi, and the others were all geniuses. Although they had only been in the Battlefield of Despair for half a year, if they really went all out, it was hard to say who would live and who would die.

Half a year ago, when Shuntian Dao had first entered the Battlefield of Despair, Mou Si still had the confidence to take on ten Shuntian Dao members at once. But now, whether she could win in a one versus one battle was still a question.

Zi Chen glanced at Shuntiandao. Shuntiandao raised his hand and said, "Same old rules."

Under everyone's envious gazes, Zi Chen tossed a blood-red crystal to Shuntian.

As everyone gradually adapted to this world, Zi Chen no longer haggled over the gains and losses of Spirit Crystals. It was fine if they could pay their debts, but it was fine if they couldn't.

Shun Tiandao, who had also extended his spiritual senses and put away the crystal chip, frowned slightly. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

"Give me one too."

Just as Shun Tiandao left, a light voice rang out. Jin Qingcheng, dressed in a golden robe, walked over.

Standing in front of Zi Chen, a pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at Zi Chen. Without even needing to pay on credit, Zi Chen immediately handed over a chip.

"Thank you."

Jin Qingcheng gritted her teeth and thanked him softly. Deliberately, her voice was even softer to the bone.

Zi Chen's expression froze, and a touch of annoyance flashed across his face. Everyone around couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously, this coquettish "thank you" was very pleasant and comforting. However, Zi Chen would lose 65,555 Spirit Crystals just because of this. It was undoubtedly a big loss. It was very difficult to get the Spirit Crystals back from Jin Qingcheng. It wasn't that the latter's combat strength was too weak to get the Spirit Crystals, but nearly 05% of her expenses were spent on clothes and other decorations.

Jin Qingcheng had seven or eight pieces of clothes with many special effects, and there were also a lot of boots with special effects.

Because there were too many things, it was difficult to store them. She also owed Zi Chen a two-meter-long storage bag.

These were all debts.

After Jin Qingcheng left, the fortune-teller came forward and took a blood-red crystal chip on credit.

Man Shi and Wu Xie also came forward and looked at Zi Chen eagerly. Both of them had a new debt recently, and they were too embarrassed to ask for another debt.

Therefore, Zi Chen could only give it away for free.

In this way, the blood-red crystal chips sent by Old Man Schenker changed owners in the blink of an eye. Zi Chen couldn't even keep one for himself.

After that, everyone began to work hard for the goal on the blood-red crystal chip.

On this day, Zi Chen called Miu Si.

Miu Si stood next to Zi Chen, looking a little cautious.

Shuntian and the others were very strong, and he didn't want to provoke them. However, the strongest person in the group was neither Shuntian nor Wharton, but Zi Chen.

During this period of time, although Zi Chen didn't make a breakthrough in his realm, his combat strength had increased to an unfathomable level.

After telling Miu Si some things to pay attention to, Miu Si left with the 63 people except for Wharton.

Zi Chen turned and walked toward the secluded forest. For outsiders, the secluded forest was dangerous, but it had always been Zi Chen's closed-door cultivation place.

When the sapling discovered the intruder, Zi Chen, it extended its branches and immediately launched an attack.

Swoosh.

The black saber was unsheathed, and the shining saber light drew a perfect circle around Zi Chen. The circular saber light spread in all directions, extending for a hundred meters.

All life within a hundred meters disappeared.

Sheathing the saber, Zi Chen went deeper. As for the tree sap, Zi Chen didn't have the leisure to pick it up.

Soon, Zi Chen walked to the area of the big trees that contained the tree crystals. He used to stop here, but these trees couldn't stop him now.

The attacks of the big trees were even sharper. Every branch was like a spear, shooting at Zi Chen.

Looking at the spears and branches shooting at him from all directions, Zi Chen's figure flashed, and he flashed through the attacks like a wisp of smoke. He then unsheathed his saber and slashed at the tree.

"Ka."

The armor-piercing effect was activated. The saber light cut open the tree, and a sparkling tree crystal appeared in front of Zi Chen.

The value of the tree crystal was ten times higher than the tree marrow, and it was purer. It was equivalent to the heart of a late-stage seventh-layer alien.

After taking the tree crystal, the tree still had a tenacious vitality. The branches were still struggling. A silver light flashed, and the Dragon Spear pierced into the tree. It began to devour the tree's energy, turning it into its own.

After reaching the tree crystal area, Zi Chen walked a few more miles. He killed more than a hundred trees and obtained more than a hundred tree crystals.

Then, Zi Chen sat cross-legged at the center of the area and began to refine the law fragments.

Due to his 655% success rate, Zi Chen had accumulated a lot of law chips. At present, Zi Chen had only refined two types of law chips. One was strength, and the other was combat agility.

Only Zi Chen could be so picky. Moreover, he was only refining the law fragments of late-stage seventh-layer law fragments.

While Zi Chen was refining the law fragments, Cauldron Spirit was also refining other items.

At present, Zi Chen still had more than a hundred armor-piercing weapons on him. These were Zi Chen's private stash. If he sold all of them, he would be able to make an immeasurable fortune.

Currently, Zi Chen didn't lack spiritual crystals, law chips, or magical robes. The only thing he lacked was time. If Zi Chen was given enough time, he was confident that he could make a breakthrough to eighth-layer in one go.

In this state of cultivation, another month quickly passed. Zi Chen had gotten used to appearing once a month and trading once a month.

During this month, more trees grew and Zi Chen had to deal with them.

When he arrived at the border between the secluded woods and the desert of death, he saw piles of male scorpion corpses. These were the loot of the other members of Shuntian Mansion.

Old man Schenker once again came as agreed. Zi Chen grew more and more curious about the old man's combat strength.

After another round of trading, old man Schenker asked Zi Chen what he needed next. Then, the old man asked, "What do you think of that matter?"

Zi Chen pondered for a moment before he replied, "The plan is feasible. But if we don't cooperate well, we will be wiped out."

"I know what I'm doing. I will cooperate with you," said the old man with a solemn face.

"Good. Send people over. Don't send too many. Just send a batch every two months." As he spoke, Zi Chen smiled coldly. "If that's the case, some people must be vomiting blood."

After arriving here, Shuntian Mansion had already informed Zi Chen of the scene they had seen. Clearly, someone was plotting against them.

They would never have expected that they had already gained a foothold in this desert of death. This place was no longer dangerous. Moreover, when Meng Xi was teleporting, he seemed to be intentionally moving in Zi Chen's direction.

"Two months? Isn't that a bit rushed?" Old man Schenker asked in surprise.

"As long as you have enough resources, two months is not rushed at all. However, I only want geniuses with high comprehension. As for those who are just here to make up the numbers, don't come. After all, if they die, I won't be able to collect my debts."

"That's good. However, the first batch will take two months at the earliest."

"Two months should be enough. I think most of them will be able to raise their realms."

Old man Schenker left, and Zi Chen gathered everyone back.

Including Wharton, there were a total of 06 people. Muse Si and the others had not returned yet.

"Now, we'll start the exchange for rule chips. The original price of 15 will be changed to 85."

As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, the crowd immediately cheered. With their understanding of this world, they knew that 15 per piece was already Zi Chen's cost price. This price was much cheaper than the base price.

But now, it had been reduced by half.

Without explaining the reason, Zi Chen said, "During this period, you all should try to raise your strength as quickly as possible. As for the spirit crystals, you can owe them first."

The crowd cheered. If they had endless rule chips to refine, they would be able to raise their realms quickly.

Next, everyone began to collect their rule chips. Everyone tried their best to collect as much as possible. Although these were all debts, there was no burden to having too much debt. They already owed tens of thousands of spirit crystals. Who would care about a few dozen spirit crystals?

After distributing the rule chips, everyone began to look for a safe place to refine them.

Everyone gathered not far away. Zi Chen stood guard for everyone while waiting for Muse Si to return.

This time, he arranged for Muse Si to do something special.

Two days later, Muse Si returned in a sorry state.

When she left, Muse Si had brought a total of 63 people with her. But when she returned, she was the only one.

"What happened?"

Seeing Muse Si covered in wounds, Zi Chen couldn't help but frown.
