Chapter 159: Frenzied Exchange!

TL: Etude

In the Loose Cultivators Alliance, there was a room specifically for exchanges. Ye Tian met with the Frenzied Sword Saint there.

"A Martial Saint!"

The Frenzied Sword Saint curiously glanced at Ye Tian, realizing he did not recognize him, but he didn't mind. After all, it was common for people to ascend to Saint-level at any time, and since he often wasn't at Zhonghai Super Base, it was normal for him not to recognize newly ascended Saints.

The Loose Cultivators Alliance focused solely on exchanges, not involving any other matters.

"Are you the one who wants to exchange Gold-level sword techniques with me?"

Frenzied Sword Saint asked directly.

"Yes!"

Ye Tian nodded but immediately added, "I indeed have a group attack Gold-level sword technique, but the value of a group attack Gold-level sword technique is much higher than that of a single attack Gold-level technique."

Ye Tian's implication was clear – his Gold-level sword technique was more valuable, so the other party should pay a higher price.

However, the Frenzied Sword Saint replied, "You might not understand, but Instant Slash not only possesses the amplification effect of a single attack Gold-level sword technique, but it can also amplify sword skills by 2 times. Its value is not comparable to ordinary Gold-level techniques. If it weren't so, I wouldn't have offered an equivalent exchange for a group attack Gold-level technique. The Loose Cultivators Alliance values equivalent exchange, and as one of its high-ranking members, I won't break the rules."

"Able to amplify sword skills by 2 times!"

Ye Tian was delighted internally; this effect was similar to his own Silver-level sword technique, Heavenly Extreme Slash!

"Alright, I agree!"

Ye Tian nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, both swore oaths and exchanged their Gold-level sword techniques. Ye Tian handed over the original copy of his Gold-level technique, Desolate Sword Domain, to the Frenzied Sword Saint, and in return, the Frenzied Sword Saint gave Ye Tian the original copy of Instant Slash. The two exchanged their Gold-level techniques.

After confirming everything was correct, the exchange was completed.

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

Throughout the process, the Frenzied Sword Saint never asked for Ye Tian's name, and Ye Tian didn't offer it.

In equivalent exchange, only the items were exchanged, nothing else was asked.

After the exchange of the Gold-level sword technique Instant Slash, Ye Tian was very satisfied. He then found a buyer interested in a large quantity of sword techniques, trading six Silver-level techniques and several Bronze-level techniques, in exchange for 100,000 Qi stones.

Afterward.

Ye Tian posted the two top-grade primary force cultivation secrets from the Black Sky Corpse Sect for exchange, requesting three items that could add high-level special talents to a martial body, or alternatively one item that could add a top-level talent.

Items that could enhance talents were always priceless and scarce, but so were top-grade primary force cultivation secrets. Moreover, his exchange requirements were not high, asking only for items that could add high-level special talents or top-level special talents to a martial body. If it were to enhance a King-level talent, the value would undoubtedly be much more expensive.

It was more cost-effective to cultivate martial bodies from a young age. If one waited until advancing to King-level before cultivating their talents, the cost would be tens or even hundreds of times more expensive.

Cultivating talents at Saint-level was almost unrealistic, as no power could afford that.

Thus.

Ye Tian wanted to quickly enhance his sister Ye Yu's talents; otherwise, once Ye Yu advanced to King-level, the cost of enhancing her talents would be too high, unaffordable without the support of a top-level power.

Just three days later, someone responded to Ye Tian's post, and they contacted him for an exchange.

Once again at the Loose Cultivators Alliance, Ye Tian met with the martial body he was exchanging with.

The other party was a King-level, and Ye Tian recognized him.

"It's you!"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised; the other party turned out to be a King-level he had previously met in the Divine Temple space, ranked 23rd on the King's List, Lu Feng.

"Ye Tian, so you're the one I'm exchanging with. It seems that the two top-grade primary force cultivation secrets you've acquired must be from the Divine Temple space, right?" Lu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"Correct!"

Ye Tian nodded in agreement.

"This is the Tianlin Cold Marrow, capable of endowing a martial body with top-tier ice talent. Unfortunately, it's not very effective for King-level, only offering a one percent chance of granting top-tier ice talent. I already possess a top-tier attack talent, so this treasure isn't very useful to me. However, a top-grade primary force cultivation secret is useful for me, as I can use it to cultivate my own power," Lu Feng explained.

Ye Tian knew Lu Feng was not lying. Lu Feng possessed a top-tier wind spear talent, and top-tier ice talent was of little use to him. Moreover, as a Martial King, the chance of generating top-tier ice talent was less than one percent; it was highly likely that it would only yield a medium-tier ice talent. Therefore, exchanging the Tianlin Cold Marrow was the most profitable choice for him.

"Alright, let's proceed with the exchange!" Ye Tian suggested.

The two made oaths and then began the exchange. Lu Feng browsed through the two top-grade primary force cultivation secrets Ye Tian provided and was delighted: "These are excellent top-grade primary force cultivation secrets, even better than the ones I practice. Although they are a bit peculiar, in this era when beast corpses are not rare, using these two cultivation secrets to cultivate my forces is more than appropriate."

"Great, then it's a pleasure doing business with you!" Ye Tian smiled slightly.

After this exchange, Ye Tian left. He didn't plan to exchange the remaining treasures; he had only exchanged what was needed.

Now, he had another important task – to go to the Demon Sea Base and bring his sister Ye Yu over! Having been in Zhonghai Super Base for so long, he had learned that there was only one way to get a martial body below King-level to join Zhonghai Super Base: a recommendation from a Saint-level.

However, a Saint-level had only one recommendation slot. Once used, it couldn't be used to recommend another martial body to join Zhonghai Super Base, unless an Emperor-level intervened. A Martial Emperor could bring a whole family into Zhonghai Super Base, regardless of the number of members.

Since the strongest forces in the super base were at the Emperor-level, the base naturally welcomed the addition of Martial Emperors, offering various generous treatments. The more Martial Emperors joined, the happier Zhonghai Super Base was, as it directly strengthened their power.

Previously, Ye Tian was only at King-level, and even ranked on the King List. However, no matter how powerful he was, he was not at the Saint-level and didn't have the right to let a martial body join Zhonghai Super Base. This was a rule that couldn't be broken!

But now, Ye Tian had stepped into Saint-level and naturally had the right to bring his sister Ye Yu over.

Back at home, Ye Tian asked Xiao Xue, "I'm planning to go back to the Demon Sea Major Base to bring my sister over. Do you want to come along?"

"No, I need to cultivate!" Xiao Xue rejected promptly.

Ye Tian understood Xiao Xue's thoughts; he was still affected by the setback. Xiao Xue, who had received the Dragon Clan's inheritance and made rapid progress recently, had comprehended a profound technique. His top-tier strength talent had evolved into a pseudo-mystic level, and in terms of power, he was even comparable to a four-star King-level powerhouse.

Unfortunately, the gap with Ye Tian was too wide, and now that Ye Tian had ascended to Saint-level, the setback felt by Xiao Xue was even greater. Despite cultivating even harder recently to comprehend more profound techniques and catch up to Ye Tian's strength, the pressure was immense.

"Then I'll go alone!" Ye Tian patted Xiao Xue's head and then turned to leave.
