Chapter 618: Sequential Realizations
Si Kong Youlan didn’t beat around the bush and directly mentioned that someone was looking to her to purchase items from Ye Feng.
“What do they want?” Ye Feng asked.
“A third-tier divine skill… I’m not sure if Mr. Ye can obtain it…” Si Kong Youlan stared intently at Ye Feng as soon as she spoke, fearing he might say no and hoping to read some indication from his expression.
“Well, that’s a bit difficult, and as for the price…” Ye Feng didn’t outright refuse.
“You don’t need to worry about the price at all. Ten times the price of a second-tier divine skill is absolutely acceptable. But please don’t set it too high,” Si Kong Youlan said with a smile.
“Of course. I’m not the type to do one-time deals,” Ye Feng nodded and smiled. “Is there anything else?”
“Of course. If you have second-tier divine skills, they’re also willing to buy them,” Si Kong Youlan said with a smile. “But the price might be a bit lower than the highest bid in the auction just now.”
“Hmm, I can consider it!” Ye Feng nodded. “But I still have a few second-tier divine skills. I’m not planning to sell star crystals; I’d like to exchange them for something else.”
“I wonder what Mr. Ye wants to exchange them for?” Si Kong Youlan asked.
“Any martial arts techniques will do, preferably those related to swordsmanship or blade arts,” Ye Feng said, focusing on those areas.
“That might be a bit troublesome, because by common sense, such techniques only exist in the upper realms. Even if someone here has them, they’re likely unwilling to exchange them for a second-tier divine skill,” Si Kong Youlan said with a forced smile.
“What about two second-tier divine skills in exchange for one?” Ye Feng asked with a smile. He knew it was unlikely to work on a one-for-one basis.
“If that’s the case, we can try discussing it with them!” Si Kong Youlan finally nodded.
“Is there anything else you need?” Ye Feng continued.
“Supreme spiritual treasures—can Mr. Ye obtain those too?” Si Kong Youlan asked cautiously.
“I can get them, but compared to that, I’d prefer to sell divine skills,” Ye Feng shook his head. An ordinary supreme spiritual treasure would fetch at most less than one billion in price, while palace or ship-type treasures might sell for seventy to eighty billion. But Ye Feng really wasn’t willing to sell such things, as their value was lower compared to divine skills.
“Mr. Ye is worried he won’t get a good price, right?” Sikong Youlan seemed to read his thoughts. “If it’s a top-tier spiritual treasure of the palace type, I have three groups of clients willing to pay over 20 billion to acquire it. Of course, the specific price can be discussed in detail later. If it’s a top-tier spiritual treasure of the ship type, someone is willing to pay 30 billion to buy it…”
Only then did Ye Feng nod. “It’s worth considering!”
“When roughly?” Sikong Youlan pressed further.
“In about two months. I need some time to prepare.” Ye Feng set the deadline at two months because he only had the right to claim items for free once every three days—twenty times in two months. By then, he would be well-prepared.
“Then I’ll inform the clients to conduct the transaction in two months,” Sikong Youlan said with a smile.
“I’ll get in touch with you then,” Ye Feng nodded. “By the way, I remember you also sell information, right?”
“What would Mr. Ye like to know?” Sikong Youlan was momentarily surprised before asking promptly.
“Give me all the information about the Genius Competition and the Strongest Competitions in the star realms.” Ye Feng didn’t want to waste words; it would be more straightforward to buy the materials and read them himself. “How much does it cost?”
“That can be provided for free,” Sikong Youlan smiled. “Because this information is basically common knowledge, with no real secrets or value. Besides, as our distinguished guest, we can offer this service for free.”
As she spoke, she called over a waiter to organize the materials Ye Feng needed.
“Do you know when the next Genius Competition and Strongest Competitions will be?” Ye Feng couldn’t help asking another question.
“To be precise, it’s in 233 years,” Sikong Youlan casually mentioned the date, making Ye Feng doubt if she was lying to him. Seeing his skeptical expression, she explained, “Since the Genius Competition and the Strongest Competitions are held at the same time, as one of the participants in the Strongest Competitions, I naturally know the exact date of the next event.”
“I see!” Ye Feng realized now that the date she gave wasn’t made up.
Before long, the waiter who had organized the materials handed a storage ring to Sikong Youlan. “It’s all organized. Everything has been put inside the ring.”
Sikong Youlan checked it briefly before handing the ring to Ye Feng. “I’ve taken a look. The information is comprehensive. All the information you need should be here.”
“Then thank you!” Ye Feng transferred all the items from that storage ring to his own, then returned the empty ring to Sikong Youlan.
Sikong Youlan was taken aback and shook her head with a smile, “I originally intended to give you this ring as well, but you’ve returned it to me…”
“I already have enough storage rings; better not take it…” Ye Feng smiled as he returned the ring, “I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll take my leave now!”
“Don’t forget to let me know in two months!” Sikong Youlan reminded him.
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget,” Ye Feng nodded before leaving.
After leaving the auction hall in Longquan City, Ye Feng brought Long Tian and the others into the Absolute Martial Ark, then entered it himself with a flash.
“Convert all 15.8 billion star crystals into sixth-tier domain value!” Ye Feng sent his spiritual power into the void realm. The total amount obtained from the auction was 12.5 billion, plus 3.3 billion seized from the Asura Ring, totaling 15.8 billion.
“Conversion successful. 15.8 trillion points of sixth-tier domain value obtained.”
“A permanent privilege reward selection right has been granted.”
“What kind of privilege is this?” Ye Feng looked at the complicated name and carefully read the description.
“The privilege reward selection right is a permanent privilege. Its function is to allow one to choose the system-awarded privilege within a certain range when receiving a privilege reward.”
After reading this explanation, Ye Feng understood a bit better. Previously, the system randomly assigned privileges, but now he had the option to choose himself.
“Remaining rewards: two Supreme Privileges, three Supreme Comprehension Privileges, three Ultimate Repair Privileges.”
“Available options: Supreme Privileges, Supreme Comprehension Privileges, Ultimate Repair Privileges, Ultimate Exchange Privileges, Ultimate Replication Privileges, Ultimate Enhancement Privileges.”
“I’ll choose the Supreme Comprehension Privilege and the Ultimate Replication Privilege,” Ye Feng decided after some consideration. He still had enough Supreme Privileges left to exchange for other privileges.
“One Supreme Privilege can be exchanged for two Supreme Comprehension Privileges or ten Ultimate Replication Privileges.”
“One Ultimate Repair Privilege can be exchanged for one Ultimate Replication Privilege.”
The system provided these two options.
“I’ll exchange both Supreme Privileges for Supreme Comprehension Privileges and all three Ultimate Repair Privileges for Replication Privileges,” Ye Feng decided quickly.
“The selected rewards are: seven instances of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege and three instances of the Ultimate Copying Privilege. Are you sure?”
“Sure!”
“You have obtained seven instances of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege and three instances of the Ultimate Copying Privilege!”
Ye Feng checked the privileges panel. The number “2” next to the Supreme Comprehension Privilege had now changed to “9”, while the “0” next to the Ultimate Copying Privilege had changed to “3”.
Ye Feng also noticed that the number of privileges obtained through this selection was different from those obtained through converting privileges. When using the permanent conversion privilege, one Supreme Privilege could only be converted into one Supreme Comprehension Privilege, and one Supreme Privilege could only be converted into three Ultimate Copying Privileges. It seemed that there was considerable loss during the conversion process, especially for the Supreme Privileges. However, making the direct selection eliminated such losses, allowing Ye Feng to acquire more privileges.
With nine instances of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege, Ye Feng was certainly not reluctant to use them to further enhance his strength.
“Using the Supreme Comprehension Privilege!”
“Usage successful. One instance of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege used. Remaining count: 8!”
Ye Feng retrieved all the divine techniques from the martial arts manual. He now had all the divine techniques corresponding to the eighty-one divine powers he was practicing.
Under the effect of the Comprehension Privilege, Ye Feng flipped through them one by one. It took him three full days, using one instance of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege, to raise all sixty of the later-developed divine techniques to the sixth level.
Having tasted success, Ye Feng used the Comprehension Privilege a second time.
Another three days passed, and all eighty-one divine techniques were raised to the eighth level. At this level, he could now amplify the power of similar divine powers by fifty times.
But Ye Feng seemed addicted and used the Comprehension Privilege a third time.
“Three consecutive uses of the Supreme Comprehension Privilege. No further use allowed within one year!” After these words appeared, the third use of the Comprehension Privilege was activated.
In three days, Ye Feng finally completed the stacking of his domain to the ninth layer. Despite putting in all his effort, he couldn’t break through any further, but the radius of his domain surged to 10,000 meters. Such a domain size was comparable to that of the strongest among the peak stars-level warriors. Even ordinary early-stage stars-level warriors only had domain radii in the tens of thousands of meters.
Learning that he could not use the Enlightenment Privilege again for a year, Ye Feng felt quite frustrated and blamed himself for acting impulsively by using it three times in a row. Yet, he was also relieved that prolonged enlightenment could rapidly boost his strength in a short time, though it would surely harm his foundation over the long term. This was why, after using it three times, the privilege was locked by the Void Realm for a year. He saw this time as an opportunity to strengthen his abilities properly. After thinking this through, Ye Feng entered the guest room of the Ultimate Martial Ark, sat in seclusion, and began another round of cultivation.
