Chapter 1069: Won’t We Exchange?

As Huang Long spoke, complete silence fell over the Golden Dragon Sacred Temple. Even the dozen or so Sacred Kings who had been shouting behind Bai Wuliang exchanged glances in silence.
“Huang Long, do you think we don’t know that you must be in urgent need of gathering such a large amount of Wanluo Divine Water? Don’t let him scare us. If we don’t exchange, what can he do?!” Jin Wubba from the Golden Domination sneered at that moment.
The Sacred Kings who had been watching hesitated after hearing Huang Long’s words, but after Jin Wubba spoke, they resolved to act.
Huang Long scanned the Sacred Kings in the hall and sneered, “If that’s the case, I won’t force anyone!” With that, he reached out with both hands and drew back the spiritual veins high in the sky into his body.
Unhurried, he drew them back one by one, at a steady pace. As the high-quality spiritual veins in the sky dwindled, the Sacred Kings who had planned to wait and see grew anxious.
Why had they gone through so much trouble to gather ten drops of Wanluo Divine Water?!
Wasn’t it to exchange for one of Huang Long’s high-quality spiritual veins?!
“Wait, I’ll exchange!” Finally, when half of the high-quality spiritual veins remained, one Sacred King couldn’t hold back anymore.
A dark glow shone above this Sacred King’s head, illuminating the sky and earth. It was the Ghostly Sacred Lord of the Ghostly World!
The Ghostly Sacred King stepped forward, holding a jade bottle, and threw it at Huang Long, saying, “Inside is ten drops of Wanluo Divine Water!”
Huang Long scanned it with his divine sense. There were exactly ten drops of Wanluo Divine Water in the bottle. He nodded and said, “Good, ten drops!” Then, with a wave of his hands, he sent one high-quality spiritual vein to the Ghostly Sacred King.
The Ghostly Sacred King, filled with excitement, nodded at Huang Long before stepping back.
“Is there any other Sacred King who wants to exchange for a high-quality spiritual vein?” After the Ghostly Sacred King stepped back, Huang Long scanned the others calmly and, with another wave of his hands, drew back another high-quality spiritual vein.
“I’ll exchange!” As soon as Huang Long spoke, another Sacred King stepped forward.
This Sacred King was surrounded by starlight, with stars formed from innate star power orbiting him. He was a Sacred King from the Star King World— the Star-Shining Sacred King!
The Star-Shining Sacred King stepped forward and handed a jade bottle to Huang Long. After confirming with his divine sense that it contained ten drops of Wanluo Divine Water, Huang Long gestured with his hands and sent one high-quality spiritual vein to him.
With the Ghostly Sacred King and the Star-Shining Sacred King having successfully exchanged for high-quality spiritual veins, the other Sacred Kings who had intended to do the same could no longer hold back and stepped forward to exchange with Huang Long.
Three, four, five!

Bai Wuliang and Jin Wubà looked gloomy. What annoyed them the most was that even the Sacred Kings who had been shouting behind them eventually couldn’t resist using the Wanluo Divine Water to exchange for Sacred Grade spiritual veins. One after another, they exchanged a total of 1,320 drops of Wanluo Divine Water before stopping. Huang Long glanced at Bai Wuliang, Jin Wubà, and the others and asked, “Is no one willing to exchange for Sacred Grade spiritual veins?” Bai Wuliang and Jin Wubà exchanged a look; it was clear they had also intended to exchange for such veins, but out of pride, they held back. “If that’s the case, then let’s proceed to exchange for King Grade and Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts!” Seeing that Bai Wuliang and the others remained silent, Huang Long sneered inwardly and continued, “One thousand Supreme Grade spiritual veins for one King Grade Dao Artifact each, and ten thousand for one Supreme Grade artifact. Surely, there are no objections this time?” The Sacred Kings turned to look at Bai Wuliang and Jin Wubà, who snorted coldly but raised no further objections. With a sneer, Huang Long began the exchange for King Grade and Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts. These items were not auctioned by the Ten Great Merchant Guilds, but the Sacred Kings and powerful figures possessed them. Since Huang Long only specified King Grade and Supreme Grade items without setting further rules, the Sacred Kings usually offered ordinary King Grade and Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts in exchange. Of course, for Huang Long, as long as they were King Grade or Supreme Grade, it was sufficient. In the end, Huang Long obtained 36 King Grade items and 22 Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts! He was very satisfied with this result. Thirty-six King Grade items were enough to elevate Huang Long’s true body to the peak of King Grade! Once he found the materials needed to advance to Supreme Grade, his true body could then reach that level. After absorbing all the King Grade and Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts into his body, Huang Long looked at the Sacred Kings in the hall and had an idea. He said, “I have been refining pills recently and need a batch of materials. I wonder if any of you have them? Of course, I’ll pay double the price!” “Oh? What materials does Brother Huang Long need?” asked the Ghost Sacred King, interested. The other Sacred Kings also stared at Huang Long. “Tai Xu Divine Water, Wan Hai Yellow Mud, Ultimate Yin Divine Armor, Ultimate Yang-Yin Stone, Ghost Sacred Spring, Star Gold Crystals, Nine-Pattern Demon Stones, Thousand-Eye Demon Flowers…” Huang Long listed over 300 different materials. Each one was extremely rare. The Sacred Kings grew more and more astonished, even Long Xiao, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord. They simply couldn’t imagine what kind of pill Huang Long needed to require so many precious treasures.

Of course, Huang Long didn’t intend to use these materials to refine pills. Instead, they were meant to be used when his true form reached the peak of the king tier, as materials required for ascending to the supreme tier. If not for some of these materials already gathered within the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, the number would far exceed three hundred. Just thinking about how powerful his true form would become upon ascending to the supreme tier! Naturally, ascending to that tier wasn’t easy at all. Without Huang Long’s substantial financial support, gathering such materials and great divine artifacts would take countless eras. When Huang Long mentioned over three hundred materials, everyone in the Golden Dragon Sacred Temple fell silent; no one spoke for a long time. Seeing this, Huang Long didn’t rush them either. “I have the Void Divine Water and the Nine-Stripe Fiend Stone!” After a while, a Fiend Saint from the World of Chaotic Fiends stepped forward and said. As he spoke, a glimmer appeared in his hand, and a mass of crystal water emitting a faint blue light, resembling clouds or mist, appeared. Next to it was a strange divine stone with nine patterns. “Good. With this Void Divine Water and Nine-Stripe Fiend Stone, how about three hundred supreme-tier spiritual veins?” Huang Long asked with a smile. This price was about twice as high as the market rate. “Agreed!” The Fiend Saint was quick to agree and immediately handed over the Void Divine Water and Nine-Stripe Fiend Stone in exchange for three hundred supreme-tier spiritual veins. Naturally, with one person leading the way, more followed. Before long, 99% of the over three hundred materials Huang Long needed were obtained; only three were left. Though somewhat disappointed, Huang Long wasn’t too concerned. With his strength, it should be easy to find the remaining three.
