Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1742 - 850: Transaction Results and the Mythical Poisonous Flood Dragon

"Just this solitary shard won't be enough if you want to acquire the Star Core’s Tear..."

It was clear that Yue Feng valued the Golden Rule Fragment far more than the Titan Ancestor Blood that the Ninth Rank Titan had offered earlier.

As a Ninth Rank Dominator hailing from the Star Moon Universe Civilization, Yue Feng's primary cultivation paths had originally centered on the laws of metal and light. However, upon reaching the Dominator Rank and attaining a vastly increased lifespan, he had branched out his research into various standard laws, including earth, fire, and force.

Had he not lacked a natural affinity for the supreme Starry Sea laws of space and time, he certainly would have pursued those two paths as well.

Of course, despite the significant effort he invested in these secondary pursuits, his mastery over them remained vastly inferior to his initial insights and the two subsequent Law Amplitudes of his metal and light laws.

Song Chi perceived this with total clarity; even though Yue Feng suppressed every trace of his Power of Laws, he could not hide his true nature from Song Chi's gaze.

"Is that so?"

"But wouldn't you say this Golden Rule Fragment is a much better fit for your requirements than that drop of Titan Ancestor Blood?"

The starlight surrounding Yue Feng began to flicker unevenly at those words. He found it difficult to maintain his composure after realizing his secrets had been exposed.

"You—"

He started to speak, but for some unknown reason, he cut himself off and redirected his statement:

"Since you are capable of seeing through my hidden cards, you must be aware that my need for a Light Rule Fragment is even greater. If you can provide a Light Rule Fragment, I will agree to this deal."

Song Chi shook his head, refusing the proposal without hesitation.

This Golden Rule Fragment had been unexpectedly salvaged from Origin Star by an Extreme Ninth Rank Black Wizard of the Wizard Civilization. Even on Origin Star, rule fragments were rare treasures. The difficulty of hunting down a specific Light Rule Fragment was obvious, and he had no intention of undertaking such a troublesome quest.

However, he had foreseen this outcome. The Ninth Rank Titan from the Overlord Tribe had previously offered a Seven-Colored Strange Object, which already surpassed the value of the "Star Core’s Tear." Trying to trade for it with only a Golden Rule Fragment was clearly unrealistic.

"What if I include these two items as well?"

Two more objects materialized in his hand as he spoke.

[Ruins Market Walking Rank]

[Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit]

As expected, Yue Feng’s eyes lit up with intense brilliance the moment he saw these two new additions.

Unseen by his counterpart, Song Chi gave a quiet internal laugh; it was obvious that he had struck Yue Feng's weak point, and the man was now on the verge of relenting.

In the current era following the "Origin Star’s Fall," the majority of Ruins Market Tokens were held by the Titan, Wizard, and Torch civilizations. The remaining tokens were mostly in the hands of long-term patrons like the Ancient Dwarfs, the Divine Domain Continent’s Half-Rodent People, the Deep Sea Nagas, and the Dark Night Elves. These entities understood the true worth of the Wizard Tokens and refused to trade them away.

Yue Feng had previously made numerous attempts to petition the Ruins Market Lord for a token and had tried to buy them from those veteran clients at exorbitant prices, only to be turned down every time. Consequently, the [Ruins Market Walking Rank] shown by Song Chi was a massive temptation for him.

Furthermore, the [Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit] was a Spirit Fruit capable of instantly boosting a user's Time Law comprehension to 40%. For a Ninth Rank Dominator who dabbled in multiple conventional laws, such an item held equal allure.

...

Yue Feng's eyes darted between the [Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit] and the [Ruins Market Walking Rank], his voice caught in his throat as he hesitated.

Song Chi did not pressure him, choosing instead to wait in silence.

He was well aware of how much a Ninth Rank Dominator prized resources that could increase the success rate of a myth achievement by 20%—even considering the high probability that Yue Feng possessed more than one "Star Core’s Tear," or else he wouldn't have put it up for trade.

Still, Song Chi was confident that the items he had put forward were incredibly tempting to the other man.

Following a lengthy silence, Yue Feng finally spoke in a low, heavy tone:

"While the [Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit] and the [Ruins Market Walking Rank] are indeed things I desire, they are still insufficient to trade for the 'Star Core’s Tear'."

Song Chi's eyebrows twitched slightly; his previous calm demeanor vanished, replaced by a darkened gaze.

He looked around several times as if searching his memory before finally recalling something.

"What if I add this to the pot?"

A stone the size of a palm appeared in his hand before he even finished speaking. Its surface sparkled with transparency, and chaotic gases swirled within its core.

Yue Feng recognized it immediately.

"An Intermediate Chaos Mirror Image Stone!"

Coming from the Star Moon Universe Civilization—a premier High-Level Starry Sea Civilization—he was certainly familiar with such unique items as the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone], especially given their history of building a unique chaos city within the Chaos Divine Land.

This time, Yue Feng did not dither. He knew Song Chi had reached his absolute limit. If he tried to push further, the deal would likely collapse.

He stared at the [Intermediate Chaos Mirror Image Stone], the starlight in his eyes shimmering as he mentally calculated the benefits.

After a moment, Yue Feng gave a slow, solemn nod:

"Very well, I accept the trade."

As he spoke, starlight coalesced in his palm, and a crystal shaped like a tear slowly manifested. It appeared to hold a miniature Star River inside, glowing with a profound radiance.

——[Star Core’s Tear]!

Song Chi’s eyes flashed as he reached out to claim it. The instant his skin made contact with the crystal, a massive surge of Power of Stars flooded his senses, causing his heart to skip a beat.
