Chapter 352: Chapter 300-301: Chaos Crystal Stone, Cave Residence Seclusion

Such staggering wealth!

HUM~

A light flashed, and Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi vanished, one after the other, from the sixth floor of the Kunpeng Palace.

The second floor was filled with countless members of the Demon Race, constantly moving about.

Quite a few of them had even revealed their true forms, appearing extremely ferocious.

The many Cultivation Resources were arranged within the great hall, organized into different sections.

Each section had a corresponding member of the Demon Race to assist customers.

The Kunpeng Palace had its own monitoring Arrays, so there was no fear of any Demon Race members being overcome by greed and attempting to steal.

Spirit Treasure Class, Elixir Medicine Class, Demon Talisman Class, Puppet Class, Array Class, Spirit Plant Class, Curiosities Class, Support Class...

Xu Chang’an scanned the area and decided where to go.

The first floor of the Kunpeng Palace was extremely vast, but Xu Chang’an did not use his Primordial Spirit Power, instead choosing to walk normally.

As he walked over, he noticed an area where a large crowd of Demon Race members had gathered.

"Fellow Daoists, come take a look! A cave residence in the west district of the Demon City has just gone up for sale!"

A short, dwarf-like old man in a gray robe stood in the middle of the crowd of demons.

Upon closer inspection, the old man’s feet were not like those of the Human Race, but were slender, like the legs of an insectoid demon.

"This is the layout and furnishing of the cave residence!"

A small screen of light hovered around the old man, displaying a live view of the cave residence.

"This cave residence is a bit small!"

A member of the Demon Race in the crowd remarked.

"No kidding! Cave residences in the Demon City are incredibly precious! If it weren’t small, why would it be sold on the first floor!"

"That’s true!"

"..."

Xu Chang’an was just passing by, but he took the opportunity to check the price of the cave residence.

This particular cave residence was, one might say, exceptionally small!

The cave he had lived in back on Langlang Mountain was even slightly larger than this!

Even if a Void Refining Demon Race member knew some Spatial Arrays, the living experience would definitely not be that great!

But even a residence like this was priced at twelve thousand Spirit Crystals!

In terms of value, that was equivalent to a decent Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Living in the Demon City is no easy feat!

Even for a Demon Fiend, it would take countless years of accumulation to afford a cave residence in Kongchen Demon City.

The price of this cave residence was considered the most expensive resource on the first floor of the Kunpeng Palace.

Although the Great Realm was rich in Spiritual Qi and offered long lifespans, it was also chaotic to a degree unimaginable in ordinary worlds.

A cave residence within the Demon City wasn’t just a place for cultivation; it also meant safety!

After this brief inquiry, Xu Chang’an didn’t linger and left directly.

Soon, he arrived at the sales area for the Spirit Treasure Class.

He planned to buy two Ordinary Spiritual Treasures!

Since he was planning to devour their Artifact Spirits, Xu Chang’an wasn’t picky about the Spiritual Treasures’ style or function.

In just a moment, he had selected two Spiritual Treasures.

One was like a writing brush, shimmering with golden light, and the other was like a gourd, purple all over.

The first Spiritual Treasure cost twenty-five Spirit Crystals, and the second cost thirty, for a total of fifty-five Spirit Crystals.

Having achieved his goal, Xu Chang’an did not leave.

Instead, he started wandering around.

Although the resources sold on this first floor were ordinary, they were still an eye-opener for Xu Chang’an.

Many of these resources were things that could not be found in the Cangyu World.

Spiritual Treasures with various effects and impressive power were everywhere.

Numerous Elixirs were also on display.

For example, there were Elixirs that could cause one’s Demon Body to expand dramatically upon consumption, Spirit Plants and Flowers that resembled their own self-contained spaces, and Demon Pattern inscriptions capable of capturing living creatures...

And so on and so forth!

Xu Chang’an looked around as he walked.

’Hm!? What’s this?’

Xu Chang’an had seen something that interested him.

A young woman in a white robe approached him.

She was one of the receptionists of the Demon Race at the Kunpeng Palace.

"This is a Chaos Crystal Stone. It can be used to strengthen one’s Demon Body and Spirit. However, the Chaos Crystal Stone contains a large amount of impurities, and requires a great deal of effort and Primordial Spirit Power for Refining before it can be used for strengthening!"

’Strengthen my Demon Body and Spirit!?’

Xu Chang’an’s interest was piqued.

’I’ll buy one and see how it works!’

Xu Chang’an’s current Demon Body and Spirit was already far superior to that of ordinary Demon Race members of the same Realm. But no one would complain about their Demon Body and Spirit being too tough.

"I’ll take one Chaos Crystal Stone!"

The price for the Chaos Crystal Stone was listed nearby. The name "Chaos Crystal" sounded formidable, but the price wasn’t particularly high—ten Spirit Crystals per piece.

At that price, with his current wealth, Xu Chang’an could naturally afford to try it.

"Of course."

The woman gave him a sweet smile.

"Honored guest, if you have ample funds, you might want to try the Chaos Liquid instead of the Chaos Crystal Stone!"

"Chaos Liquid!?"

"Yes, Chaos Liquid! It is made by continuously refining Chaos Crystals using a special Secret Technique, eventually forming the Chaos Liquid! If you consume the Chaos Liquid directly, you don’t need to spend a great deal of time and energy. You can strengthen your Demon Body and Spirit at the fastest possible speed!"

"I see! And how much does this Chaos Liquid cost?"

"Two hundred Spirit Crystals per drop! The effect of one drop of Chaos Liquid is roughly equivalent to one Chaos Crystal Stone!"

Two hundred Spirit Crystals per drop!

The same effect, but twenty times the price!

’With a cost-effectiveness like that, who else would buy Chaos Liquid besides those demons with ridiculously terrifying wealth!?’

Perhaps sensing Xu Chang’an’s doubt,

the woman smiled faintly and explained.

"Honored guest, you may not know this, but to refine a single Chaos Crystal Stone, even a Demon Race member at the Refining Void Realm would need to enter secluded cultivation without any distractions for several thousand years to completely digest and absorb it!

"You can imagine, if one wanted to refine hundreds or thousands of Chaos Crystal Stones to strengthen their Demon Body and Spirit, the time required would be absolutely terrifying! After all, no matter how powerful a member of the Demon Race is, they can’t stay in seclusion forever. They need to go out to earn Spirit Crystals, travel, and adventure.

"The Chaos Liquid, however, is the perfect solution to this problem. By taking Chaos Liquid, one can completely digest a drop in no more than a month! With such a drastic difference in time, some wealthy members of the Demon Race are willing to spend Spirit Crystals to save time on absorption and refinement!"

"I see!"

Xu Chang’an nodded slightly.

The lifespans of the Demon Race might be long, but they couldn’t spend all of it in seclusion.

Besides, if one focused wholeheartedly on refining Chaos Crystal Stones, it would inevitably delay their Cultivation!

In that light, the twenty-fold price difference made sense.

After buying one Chaos Crystal Stone, Xu Chang’an wandered around the first floor of the palace for a while.

He and Chu Xianyi had agreed to meet on the first floor of the Kunpeng Palace after they had finished their business.

Now that he was done, he just needed to wait for Chu Xianyi to finish buying her treasures and come find him on the first floor.

There were many good things for sale on the first floor, but Xu Chang’an’s mind was focused on devouring Spiritual Treasure Spirits. Although these items were good, they didn’t attract much of his attention.

With the help of his panel, he was walking the path of the physical body, and he didn’t crave external objects that much!

’No matter how good external objects are, they are ultimately still just external objects!’

’Only one’s Cultivation and physique are real!’

This was Xu Chang’an’s dao!

Chu Xianyi was on the third floor of the Kunpeng Palace, buying who knows what.

She took quite a while, only coming to the first floor to find Xu Chang’an a full hour later.

Chu Xianyi still had that cold and stunning demeanor. The two demons met up, and without much conversation, left the Kunpeng Palace.

From selling their resources this time, both Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi had a large amount of assets they had yet to process.

So, after a quick discussion, the two demons decided to stay in Kongchen Demon City for a period of time.

They would enter secluded cultivation to improve their strength!

Renting a temporary cave residence in Kongchen Demon City was extremely expensive, so they used a brokerage to rent a medium-sized cave residence in the southern district of the Demon City.

They signed a lease—a hundred-year lease!

Having stepped into the Refining Void Realm, the lifespans of the Demon Race were long, so renting for such a term didn’t seem particularly conspicuous!

The environment of the cave residence was quite good.

A High-level Gathering Spirit Array was in place, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi was so dense it was almost tangible.

Inside the cave residence, there were several Meditation Rooms, as well as a dedicated space for practicing Magic Techniques and Divine Techniques. There was also a huge courtyard with a Spirit Garden, rockeries, and flowing water.

To have so much space within the Demon City was naturally thanks to the wonders of a Spatial Array.

Both Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi were extremely satisfied.

"If anything comes up, contact me with a Demon Talisman!"

Before entering their Meditation Rooms for secluded cultivation, Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi exchanged Communication Demon Talismans.

This time, neither knew how long their seclusion would last!

Leaving a Communication Demon Talisman would prevent one from having to forcefully interrupt the other’s seclusion if something came up.

By comparison, the method of using a Communication Demon Talisman was far less disruptive.

In the Meditation Room, Xu Chang’an, in the form of a young Child, sat cross-legged.

Two Spiritual Treasures floated before him.

A golden-glowing writing brush and a Purple Jade Gourd.

Both of these were Lower-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

’Refining the Chaos Crystal Stone will take a lot of time. I should prioritize raising my Cultivation first!’

Lightning flashed and Flames appeared around Xu Chang’an as he unleashed his Demon Sense at full power, probing toward the Spiritual Treasures.

With his current strength, devouring the Artifact Spirits of Ordinary Spiritual Treasures was, of course, incredibly easy.

As the Spirituality flowed in, streams of Energy continuously gathered and were absorbed by his panel.

On the panel, the numbers began to change continuously!
