Chapter 3766: The Purpose of the Trading Market

Lin Moyu continued executing his plan, selecting materials that suited his needs.

Meanwhile, in another Small Spirit Domain, a concealed formation opened up an independent space.

Wood Slaughter Realm Master appeared within the space, where eight others were already present, making a total of nine.

These individuals were all extremely powerful, none weaker than Wood Slaughter Realm Master himself.

However, none of them were present in their true forms not even avatars merely projections.

One of them spoke softly, "Number Nine, why have you summoned us here?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master replied, "Naturally, there's a reason. A human cultivator from another spirit domain has arrived in the World Tree Great Spirit Domain."

Number Three interjected, "What's so unusual about that? Such people show up almost daily."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master's gaze turned cold as he snapped, "Number Three, keep your mouth shut."

Number Three huffed but said nothing further.

Number Six asked, "What's special about him?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master explained, "His cultivation level is second-tier soul, but his combat strength far exceeds that of Dao Lords and by a significant margin."

The group was visibly surprised; this was highly unusual.

If his strength was only slightly above average, it might be acceptable, but being far stronger raised serious questions.

Number Six pressed for details. "Explain further!"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master didn't hold back. "He defeated five Dao Lords from the Outsider Alliance."

The eight others' expressions changed drastically. A second-tier soul Great Dao cultivator defeating five Dao Lords? It sounded like a fantasy.

Wood Slaughter Realm Master continued, "And it's true he possesses such combat strength. Moreover, he's extremely cautious he managed to isolate my spirit domain compass from tracking him. That alone is beyond what ordinary Dao Lords can achieve."

"I've met him personally. When facing me, he remained calm and composed. This suggests he's accustomed to dealing with individuals of my level."

"Honestly, I suspect that even if I tried to kill him it wouldn't be easy."

None of them doubted Wood Slaughter Realm Master's words. Number Three asked, "Even if he's exceptionally talented, what does this have to do with us?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master explained, "He's currently selling a pill in the trading market called the Great Dao Refining Pill. I've tested it it's more effective than soul pearls. If we can obtain its formula."

The group's expressions shifted immediately; such a pill could be incredibly valuable for their purposes.

Number Three remained skeptical. "Do you really think he'll hand over the formula easily? Even if we get it, the required materials might be hard to acquire."

Wood Slaughter Realm Master glared at Number Three but restrained himself and replied, "I've spoken with him he's willing to trade the formula if I help him with something. Additionally, the pill is easy to refine."

"But here's the most important part you don't know why I'm so interested in this formula."

Number Six asked quickly, "Why?"

Wood Slaughter Realm Master revealed, "Because if multiple pills are refined and consumed simultaneously the pure soul power within them can erase imprints."

This revelation left the other eight stunned; their expressions varied dramatically.

Finally breaking his silence, Number Eight cautioned, "Don't act recklessly if this alerts him or others."

Though trusting Wood Slaughter Realm Master's claim, Number Eight worried about unintended consequences.

Wood Slaughter Realm Master seemed excited. "We've been searching for a way to break free from him and now there's hope. Leave the rest to me just pretend you never heard this."

"This meeting was simply to share good news nothing more."

Lin Moyu purchased three top-tier materials from three rare Great Daos all missing from his Thousand Worlds.

While these materials might eventually evolve naturally through Yin-Yang Origin Power it would take far too long and Lin Moyu couldn't wait.

With these materials and the help of elemental liches, Lin Moyu could directly evolve Great Daos saving an immeasurable amount of time.

His transaction volume surpassed 100,000 soul pearls granting him access to Market Eight.

Market Eight exerted even greater pressure than Market Seven. Most participants here were Dao Lords; even first-tier soul Great Dao cultivators were rare and Lin Moyu stood out as a second-tier soul cultivator.

Looking up toward Market Nine the pinnacle of trading markets Lin Moyu felt drawn to its offerings but knew he wasn't qualified yet.

His current transaction volume had just reached 100,000 a far cry from the required one million.

Still, Market Eight wasn't lacking; it featured many materials at the Dao Lord level.

The cheapest Dao Lord-level materials cost 30,000 soul pearls and treasures started at 100,000 pearls.

"Market Eight sells Dao Lord-level items. Market Nine must offer realm master-level treasures."

"What could they possibly have?"

Lin Moyu faintly sensed an overwhelming pressure emanating from Market Nine it belonged to the Human Sovereign.

Pulling his gaze away for now that place was beyond his reach.

After browsing Market Eight thoroughly Lin Moyu admired its offerings but couldn't afford everything he wanted.

One item particularly caught his attention a treasure called the Great Dao Golden Shield.

This shield accumulated energy over time and could envelop its user during activation blocking all attacks.

If enough energy was stored it could even withstand strikes from realm masters.

Additionally, the shield could harness realm master-level attacks to tear open Soul Void space allowing instant escape across vast distances.

Having experienced Wood Slaughter Realm Master's power firsthand Lin Moyu felt compelled to acquire such a treasure as an extra layer of protection.

Even against the world will of the Origin Continent it would provide valuable survival options.

Unfortunately, the Great Dao Golden Shield was priced at 150,000 soul pearls a sum Lin Moyu couldn't afford yet.

Reluctantly leaving Market Eight behind Lin Moyu flew out of Spring Encounter Small Spirit Domain entirely.

Taking out his newly purchased spirit domain compass he followed its guidance toward the edge of World Tree Great Spirit Domain.

To safely refine Void Soul Pills he needed to leave this domain entirely and avoid attracting unwanted attention.

Refining higher-grade pills like double- or triple-refined Void Soul Pills required vast quantities of soul crystals a resource Lin Moyu would need to gather extensively.

Summoning Little Python as his mount Lin Moyu reflected on his gains from the trading market.

While it hadn't offered much novelty it confirmed his suspicion that the market served dual purposes: benefiting cultivators while acting as a tool for the Human Sovereign's wealth accumulation.

At Lin Moyu's level wealth was easily attainable but the market's real purpose lay in distributing soul pearls widely among Great Dao cultivators. 

Through these pearls the Human Sovereign could exert control over countless cultivators and by extension the entire domain itself. 

Leveraging this collective power the Human Sovereign could pursue even greater ambitions.
