Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1794 - 875: Transaction_2

Song Chi remained composed in his seat, his face peaceful, as his fingers lightly drummed against the table crafted from mysterious sacred timber, creating a steady, gentle rhythm.
Yet, his eyes would now and then drift toward the central spot holding the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill, revealing his keen interest and eagerness.
Right now, he wasn't present in his role as the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market. Next to him gathered delegates from the Ninth Rank Titan of the Overlord Tribe, Ninth Rank Emperor Barbarian Clan, Ninth Rank Rakshasa Clan, and various other key enduring powers within the Ruins Market.
Exactly because of his position as the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market, he had summoned these delegates, viewing them as prospective allies for trading the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill according to his strategy.
Positioned at the shop's heart was a delegate from the Tower of Truth, an aged gentleman clad in an intricate robe adorned with silver star motifs.
His locks and facial hair were entirely silver, and within the core of his eyes, intricate three-dimensional symbols flickered in and out, identifying him as a Ninth Rank True Spirit Wizard from the Tower of Truth—Augustus Vire.
Before Wizard Augustus sat a crystal vessel brimming with tea formed from refined energy, left undrunk. Even in his advanced years, his features held gravity and vitality, laced with a clear hint of deep yearning.
"Lord of the Ruins Market..." Augustus’s tone boomed low and captivating, echoing with strange laws, utterly sincere.
"The Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill holds immense importance for our tower. Vire was dispatched by the Tower Master on a vital errand to clinch this deal. But the cost you've proposed... A strand of Seven-Colored Fire, ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal, along with ten servings of Mythical Soul, is that... "
He halted briefly, choosing his phrases carefully, reluctant to provoke this enigmatic Ruins Market ruler, while still pushing for the Tower of Truth's benefits.
"The Seven-Colored Fire counts as a cosmic wonder, scarce to the point of impossibility. Across countless ages, our tower has gathered only a handful. Regarding the Time Source Crystal, it ties into the core Time Law, making it tough to gather, and ten kilograms equals almost ten thousand years' worth of production for us. As for Mythical Soul... thirty servings feels a bit too much..."
Across from him, the illusory figure in purple robes formed by the Ruins Market's Rule Power considered briefly before replying in a mild tone.
I understand some details about the Tower of Truth's base, and factoring in the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill's benefits, this cost isn't overreaching.
The Ruins Market's Rule Power delivered the words steadily, infused with unyielding authority.
The announcement details the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill's advantages; I won't repeat them—a three-layer success probability, a civilization's shot at rising to overlord level, its worth defies standard resource valuation.
Wizard Augustus stayed quiet for a spell, the chamber filled only with the subtle buzz of flowing rule radiance. He recognized the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market's words rang true, yet as the deal's advocate, he had to fight for a bargain.
"Your words hold merit, my lord..." Augustus resumed speaking.
"It's exactly because of our tower's full commitment that I arrived in person, but... this cost goes beyond what we anticipated."
"Could you perhaps... cut down the Mythical Soul quantity? One strand of Seven-Colored Fire, 7kg of Time Source Crystal, and 10 servings of Mythical Soul—how does my lord view this offer?"
The purple haze illusion of the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market softly shook its head, cutting him off:
Vire, you and everyone else here need to grasp that crafting the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill demands far more than one might imagine. A key component is an entire strand of Seven-Colored Fire. Each pill's creation devours a wonder. The price I state is the bare minimum already.
Once done, Song Chi pulled back his mental presence, ceasing further replies.
His intent shone through plainly.
Should the price appear unfair, no obligation to pursue; seekers of the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill extend beyond just the Tower of Truth or the wizard civilization.
This statement struck Augustus's mind like a mighty blow.
While the wizard civilization backing the Tower of Truth boasts great strength, it faces competitors. Should rival groups, particularly enemy civilizations, obtain the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill ahead and forge fresh Tenth Rank myths, it would pose a grave danger.
Amid the ongoing chaos in the Mixed Elemental Divine Land Sky Ape Star Realm, only amplified mythical might can safeguard survival through the coming storm.
The creases on Wizard Augustus’s brow deepened. He mulled over it for a solid ten breaths, then drew in a long inhale, resolve sparking in his gaze.
"Lord of the Ruins Market, we accept your original terms: one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal, plus thirty servings of Mythical Soul, for a single Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill."
But this time, the purple haze illusion shook its head once more.
Augustus’s expression shifted faintly, expecting the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market to deny or hike the demand.
Instead, the purple haze illusion stated evenly:
No haste, let me outline the alternative deal option.
Beneath Augustus’s abruptly alert stare, he continued deliberately:
The Mythical Soul requirement can be waived; the deal shifts to: one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, plus ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal.
Wizard Augustus’s gaze sharpened, though he held his tongue, aware the Ruins Market Lord had additional points.
Should you consent, all future Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill deals with the wizard civilization will match this rate, but I'm especially drawn to the Tower of Truth's original research notes on the Eternal Tower Meditation Method and Elemental Truth. I wonder if "Mei’er" might share a full set of this lore with me?
Moreover, should the Tower of Truth seek additional Mixed Elemental Infinite Pills later, I can grant them first dibs on exchanges.
