The congratulations from everyone shocked the leaders!

Several people collected a large snake and obtained more than fifty general skill books in total, including five advanced proficiency skill books obtained from collecting the leader snake. There were also various materials such as snake skin, teeth, meat, etc. Yu Qian proficiently waved his hand, storing all the materials in the spatial warehouse. Then, he directly put all the skill books up for sale in the "Trading Area."

However, upon seeing the several buckets of water brought back by the troops, he had an idea. "These waters seem like they can be sold..." He just glanced at the world chat and found many people requesting to buy water, even more urgently than requesting skill books. Because, even without skill books or meat, one could still bear hunger. But without water, it was a direct threat to life, extremely painful to endure.

However, the next day, there was still not a single person selling water in the "Trading Area." Of course, it was understandable. Water was also a precious resource for wild beasts in the wilderness. Therefore, near water sources, there would often be a bunch of powerful beasts, at least 3-star or 4-star, and it wouldn't be surprising to encounter 5-star elite bosses.

As for other leaders, the number of troops reaching 3 stars was very few, and they couldn't even defeat them. Getting water could only rely on "stealing," at most barely self-sustaining, but it was impossible to have extra to sell. So, more leaders and troops could only drink the foul and smelly beast blood. But beast blood was impure, and continuously consuming it could even affect the bloodline and soul of leaders and troops, causing madness or even level regression. The consequences were extremely serious!

Yu Qian made ten gourds for the troops to carry water and then put the gourds up for sale in the "Trading Area."

Skill books: Fifty intermediate books, and five advanced proficiency books.

Clean water, ten units. [One unit of clean water can be exchanged for six magic crystals or other high-value items.] [Note: Clean water comes from a water source, naturally pure without pollution, and drinkable.]

This statement was indisputable. The water he drank was all from that water source. This time, the sale of skill books on the shelves became slow, taking almost more than an hour to sell out. Of course, it wasn't difficult to understand.

The next day, the leaders gave birth to more troops, and their overall strength was enhanced. Killing 2-star beasts, or even 3-star beasts, was no longer particularly difficult, and they obtained more skill books. Although the level of the skill books wouldn't be high, it wasn't difficult to deal with the current situation.

Then, more and more powerful leaders followed Yu Qian's example, joining the competition at lower prices, diverting many people. Finally, after the initial panic, the communication between various leaders became closer. The situation of exchanging resources became more common.

Yu Qian's high-priced skill books could only be bought by those leaders who had no choice due to various reasons, just as Lin Xuexin had determined. Ignoring other leaders would only alienate oneself. Yu Qian had become well-known, but infamous. Many leaders were trying various ways to unite and resist this price-hiking behavior.

Regarding everyone's strong resistance, Yu Qian naturally didn't care. After all, at the current stage, compared to meat and skill books, water resources were the scarcest and most valuable. Many people had high-level or even top-level bloodline troops, and they could try their luck to obtain some meat or skill books. But not water. Water sources were often guarded by even more powerful beasts, such as 5-star elite beasts. Most troops under leaders were 3 stars or below, making it difficult to even approach, let alone fetch water. But everyone needed to drink water! Troops couldn't keep drinking foul and harmful beast blood. And currently, only Yu Qian was selling water, so everyone had no choice.

"To be able to seize a water source in the territory of 5-star elite beasts is domineering! Just when everyone is short of water, Qian God truly lives up to the name, this water is worth more than its weight in gold!"

[Golden Titan exchanges one unit of water. Note: Congratulations to Qian God for occupying the water source, taking a solid step towards dominating the Divine Descendant Continent!]

[Demon Lord exchanges one unit of water. Note: Congratulations, Qian God is invincible!]

[Angel Sanctuary exchanges one unit of water. Note: Congratulations, Qian God, your reputation precedes you, I've admired you for a long time.]

[The return of the Undead...]

The buyer's information was not displayed in the "Trading Area" unless specifically noted.

"Wow, Qian God has managed to lure out so many diving big shots!"

"Golden Titan, isn't that the strongest among the Titan race?"

"And Demon Lord, does your troop have succubus?"

"Hey, upstairs, isn't your fight a bit too straightforward? Demon Lord, I want to fight your succubus!"

"Is your fight upstairs even proper?"

"Angel, wow, it's Sister Xue Xin. You've been silently following Qian God, as expected!"

"Oh my, they're all top-level bloodline troops, a gathering of strong individuals!"

"As expected of the strong, not hesitating to spend six magic crystals!"

"Qian God: You guys chat, I've earned sixty magic crystals, quietly making a fortune, hehe!"

"Upstairs, you're seeking death. If Qian God wipes out your area, you'll be doomed (manually amusing)"
