Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1013: Trading with the Chaos Trading Firm
TL: Etude
A vast quantity of Dao Artifacts, Half-Dao Artifacts, Divine Crystals, Chaos Stones, along with various precious materials, elixirs, and inheritance scrolls… the sheer amount was too overwhelming to calculate.
“My wealth just skyrocketed dozens of times over!” Ye Tian sighed with emotion.
This enormous trove of treasures and resources was enough to sustain his cultivation all the way to the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Grand Dao Realm. If he were to sell off all the Dao Artifacts and inheritances, he could potentially cultivate to the peak of the Grand Dao Realm.
For others, this would be more than enough to push them to the Dao Ancestor Realm, but Ye Tian was different. His foundation was excessively solid, far surpassing others at the same level, meaning he consumed many times more resources than the average cultivator.
Even with such high consumption, the resources he had now were more than enough to support his cultivation journey.
This calculation also took into account inflation, since Dao Artifacts had flooded the market, drastically reducing their value. If their previous value had been used as a standard, these resources would have been enough for Ye Tian to reach the level of Dao Ancestor Void Sky—perhaps even beyond!
“The value of Dao Artifacts will definitely keep depreciating. Once I return, I need to trade away all these Dao Artifacts and Half-Dao Artifacts through the Chaos Trading Firm!” Ye Tian made up his mind.
After all, hoarding such treasures while their value kept dropping meant suffering losses every moment he waited. Now, Ye Tian pondered whether or not he should continue lingering in the battlefield ruins.
From the current situation, most areas within the battlefield ruins had already been explored. Although a few Dao Fields and sect ruins remained partially undeveloped, they wouldn’t stay that way for long.
There was also the possibility of encountering remnants of Second Heaven forces, like the Sunset Sect, within the battlefield ruins. However, such ruins posed extreme dangers, as they might awaken True Ancestors from Second Heaven forces lying dormant within.
Thus, the value of staying in the battlefield ruins wasn’t as high as it once was.
After the last incident, where the Sunset Sect’s True Ancestor slaughtered countless True Monarchs, most True Monarchs and even Half-Step True Ancestors would likely avoid staying in the battlefield ruins and prepare to return to the quasi-Dao Realm.
“I’d better head back. I don’t lack resources or treasures for now, and the battlefield ruins no longer offer any substantial benefit. Staying here any longer would just be a waste of time. Better to leave behind some opportunities and treasures for other True Monarchs and the Heavenly Monarchs from the quasi-Dao Realm.”
With this in mind, Ye Tian left the small domain and made his way toward the exit of the battlefield ruins, from where he returned to the War God True Nation.
Afterward, Ye Tian traveled to the Sky Ape City.
The Chaos Trading Firm had a branch in Sky Ape City, and Ye Tian headed directly to this branch. There, a True Monarch received him.
When Ye Tian expressed his intent to trade a large quantity of Dao Artifacts, Half-Dao Artifacts, and various rare materials, the Chaos Trading Firm immediately dispatched ten Half-Step True Ancestors from the Chaos Trading Nation it controlled.
In the past, the Chaos Trading Firm’s highest experts were usually just True Ancestors. However, with the battlefield ruins yielding countless opportunities, the number of Half-Step True Ancestors across all factions had skyrocketed.
The fact that the Chaos Trading Firm casually sent ten Half-Step True Ancestors illustrated how many they now possessed. While it was unlikely that they had more than a hundred, they definitely had several dozen.
The sheer volume of Ye Tian’s trade was so vast that one Half-Step True Ancestor alone couldn’t handle it, necessitating the deployment of ten of them.
Of course, the Chaos Trading Firm strictly followed its protocols—no one dared to rob Ye Tian.
They had also heard of Ye Tian’s formidable combat prowess. He was more powerful than an average First Heaven Dao Ancestor’s incarnation and had already slain several incarnations of First Heaven Dao Ancestors.
No matter how strong they were, trying to rob Ye Tian would be tantamount to courting death.
Inside the Chaos Trading Firm’s branch was a massive secret trading hall.
The ten Half-Step True Ancestors from the Chaos Trading Firm began the transaction with Ye Tian, watching in amazement as he took out one Dao Artifact after another, along with Half-Dao Artifacts and numerous other unidentified treasures from his internal universe. The sheer quantity of these treasures was staggering.
In the past, just a single Dao Artifact would have shaken the entire Chaos Trading Firm, and it might have even attracted the attention of Dao Ancestors. However, things had changed—Dao Artifacts no longer held the same weight.
The ease with which Dao Artifacts were crafted in the Divine Heaven Domain had flooded the market, resulting in an overabundance. Even just the emergence of the battlefield ruins had brought forth an incredible number of Dao Artifacts.
As a result, the value of Dao Artifacts had plummeted many times over.
That said, they were still extremely valuable—ordinary True Monarchs could rarely afford to purchase even one.
“For now, let’s trade these. I wonder if the Chaos Trading Firm can handle it all,” Ye Tian asked.
The appraiser, a True Monarch named West Sky, responded with a quick, polite smile. “Rest assured, Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws. The Chaos Trading Firm has vast wealth, and thanks to the recent influx of transactions from the major factions, our financial strength has multiplied many times over. We are more than capable of handling these treasures.”
He paused briefly before continuing, “However, I must ask: what would you like in exchange? Do you want Chaos Trading Firm points, or would you prefer a barter? If you wish to settle the deal with Dao Coins, I’m afraid we don’t have enough Dao Coins to cover the entire transaction.”
“I need cultivation resources—everything from body-tempering materials to divine force enhancers and spirit-forging resources. I need them all!” Ye Tian replied decisively.
West Sky seemed hesitant. “Well… Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, everyone nowadays is eager to exchange unwanted treasures for cultivation resources. As a result, there’s a severe shortage of these resources. It would be impossible for our firm to exchange all of your items solely for cultivation resources. My suggestion is to convert part of your treasures into resources and the rest into inheritances or Heavenly Dao Stones.”
“Heavenly Dao Stones, huh…” Ye Tian mused, already familiar with their nature. In essence, they were an upgraded form of Dao Coins, originating from the Domain Realm.
A Heavenly Dao Stone was a type of energy stone refined by Third Heaven Dao Ancestors, containing not only immense energy and Dao power but also a trace of the comprehensions of a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor.
The battlefield ruins had yielded many Heavenly Dao Stones, and Ye Tian himself had obtained a significant number. Additionally, various factions—and Ye Tian as well—had acquired the secret technique to refine Heavenly Dao Stones, a technique publicly available within the Domain Realm. However, without the strength of a Third Heaven Dao Ancestor, it was impossible to refine these stones.
At present, the major factions and all of Chaos had gradually begun using Heavenly Dao Stones as currency at the True Ancestor and Dao Ancestor levels. One Heavenly Dao Stone was equivalent in value to one billion Dao Coins.
“Fine,” Ye Tian agreed. “I’ll take Heavenly Dao Stones and inheritances as part of the deal.”
“Excellent! We’ll begin the valuation of your treasures right away,” West Sky responded eagerly.
The ten Half-Step True Ancestors immediately set to work, organizing and appraising every item that Ye Tian had brought out. Each piece was carefully evaluated.
After about half a day, the valuation was complete.
The Chaos Trading Firm then mobilized its operations, delivering a massive amount of resources to Ye Tian. Alongside the resources, they also provided him with hundreds of chaos divine ability inheritances, various secret technique inheritances, and one million Heavenly Dao Stones.
This was the wealth Ye Tian had obtained from his transaction with the Chaos Trading Firm!
