Chapter 2238

Lin Moyu asked, "Why does fighting result in gaining luck?"

Lu Fengyao continued to explain, "There is a secret technique within the army. As long as you kill the demon race, you can harvest luck from them."

So that was it. Plundering luck from the demon race—in this way, all parties would likely send people to participate.

Moreover, this method was essentially no different from the Dongling Empire's attacks; everyone was killing for the sake of luck.

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Then where is the battlefield?"

Lu Fengyao said, "North of the Southern Continent, south of the Northern Continent, on the Boundary Sea, there is a large island called Panlong Island."

"There are several origin spirit veins on this island, and the battlefield is located there."

The origin spirit veins made the island's terrain solid, and Panlong Island was large enough for cultivators to display their skills.

It seemed that the two races and the sea clan had reached an agreement, with both sides having fixed shipping routes to travel to Panlong Island.

Beyond the conflicts between the two sides of the war, they were also competing for each other's luck, as well as the origin spirit veins on Panlong Island—it could be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.

Lin Moyu felt strange at the same time, "Why would an island have so many origin spirit veins?"

Lu Fengyao said, "I don't know. It is said to be related to the King of the Boundary Sea. Furthermore, legend has it that there is a ninth-grade origin spirit vein on Panlong Island, but it has never been found."

"Quite a few people are going there specifically for this ninth-grade origin spirit vein."

A ninth-grade origin spirit vein—this was a top-tier origin spirit vein, and its value was immeasurable.

Counting the history of the Origin Continent, the number of times a ninth-grade origin spirit vein had appeared could be counted on one's fingers.

Several top powers were trying to find ways to elevate their own origin spirit veins to the ninth grade, but so far, none had truly succeeded.

If Daoist Tianlei had been able to obtain a ninth-grade origin spirit vein back then, perhaps he could have broken through the shackles of the Dao Venerable Realm.

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "If there really is a ninth-grade origin spirit vein, then it is indeed worth fighting for." Lin Moyu developed some interest in Panlong Island and might go there in the future, but not now.

Lu Fengyao sighed, "That is why I say all paths can lead to the peak; it just depends on how you choose."

"For now, establishing your own power is indeed a good method. Although it is difficult, it is at least stable." Her statement coincided with Lin Moyu's own thoughts.

The two chatted while wandering around the free market.

The free market was too large; to truly walk through it all would take several days.

Piece after piece of treasure and material was bought by Lin Moyu. He spent a little money, which was nothing to him.

It was just a pity that, apart from the first lucky find, he didn't encounter any other opportunities.

Instead, the scene of people arguing in the street happened again.

This time, it was a shouting match between a customer and a stall owner, which ended with the customer winning.

After wandering for most of the day, the World Tree suddenly sent a strange vibration.

At the same time, Lin Moyu heard the intermittent voice of the World Tree.

"Spirit vein… remains."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred. There were actually remains of an origin spirit vein here.

His spiritual sense had not discovered it, and the World Tree could not point out the specific location. The Heaven-Swallowing Mouse was not by his side either. In this case, he could only search through things one by one.

Lin Moyu said to the World Tree, "Try to find the direction."

Chapter 2255

Lin Moyu activated his Rule World, allowing the World Tree to sense it more clearly. Unfortunately, the World Tree was still unable to pinpoint the location accurately. For now, he could only use some crude methods.

Lin Moyu randomly chose a direction and walked quickly. After walking less than a hundred meters, the World Tree sent information that its sensing had weakened.

A weakening sensation meant the direction was wrong.

Subsequently, Lin Moyu retreated and tried another direction.

Wrong, then retreat. Trying again and again, trial and error.

Lu Fengyao followed by Lin Moyu's side, going in and out, and asked strangely, "What is wrong with you?"

Lin Moyu said, "I am looking for something."

Lu Fengyao was even more surprised, "You are looking for something like this?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

He did not explain too much, and Lu Fengyao could only choose to trust Lin Moyu, continuing to follow him as he went back and forth. The free market extended in all directions, and the internal routes were extremely complex. After trying more than a dozen times, Lin Moyu finally found the right path.

After walking several hundred meters and passing dozens of stalls, Lin Moyu finally locked onto a stall.

The owner of this stall was a Dao Venerable, and the items being sold were various rare ores.

Lu Fengyao whispered in Lin Moyu's ear, "He is in the Dao Venerate Second Realm."

Lin Moyu could sense that the other party was a Dao Venerable, but if he did not activate the Eye of the Undead, he could not see the other party's specific realm. Unlike Lu Fengyao, who could tell at a glance.

Lin Moyu was about to go over when he suddenly stopped. He then took out a red silk scarf and wrapped it around his forehead.

After the red silk scarf was activated, it disappeared. It was also at this moment that the Sun Origin and Lunar Origin began to alternate.

Seeing Lin Moyu's actions, a hint of doubt flashed in Lu Fengyao's eyes, but she did not say anything.

The red silk scarf covered the taiyin talisman, and Lin Moyu had been shrouded in a faint light.

When the Sun Origin was shining, this faint light was not obvious.

But now that the Lunar Origin had come out, the surrounding light dimmed, and the faint light outside Lin Moyu's body began to become obvious.

This was also the shortcoming of the divine light wood; it could not completely hide the divine light. Many experts could clearly see that Lin Moyu was using divine light wood.

Lin Moyu hid his aura and came to the stall, bowing slightly, "Greetings, Senior."

The stall owner, a Dao Venerable of the Second Realm, sat with his eyes closed, ignoring Lin Moyu, looking slightly arrogant. After a few seconds, he spat out a few words, "Look for yourself."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly and did not mind. There were all kinds of people in the world, and there were countless people with strange tempers. If he had to be displeased by everything, he would just be making things difficult for himself.

There were over a hundred pieces of ore scattered on the stall.

These ores all emitted a not-weak Power of Origin. Each piece was a decent material for refining weapons.

The worst were excellent materials in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and a few better ones had already reached the Dao Venerable Realm.

Lin Moyu picked up one of them, sensed it for a moment, and then put it down.

Seeing that his actions did not cause the other party's resentment, he continued to do so.

Throughout most of the day, he had encountered many stall owners. Some stall owners only allowed looking and not touching, while others were more enthusiastic and allowed looking and touching.

This Dao Venerable had been dozing off, letting Lin Moyu look at whatever he wanted.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry, looking at them one by one.

The Power of Origin contained in these materials was not weak. If one did not hold them in hand and sense them carefully, it was impossible to distinguish which piece was the remains of an origin spirit vein.

It looked like Lin Moyu was sensing, but the one really sensing was the World Tree.

The World Tree extended a tiny tentacle from the Rule World, sticking to Lin Moyu's skin, and together with Lin Moyu's palm, inspected the materials.

One after another, the other party did not show impatience, and Lin Moyu remained silent from beginning to end, making the scene appear somewhat eerie.

The seller was strange, and the buyer was also strange.

Finally, when checking the fifty-ninth piece of ore, the World Tree trembled violently, sending a wave of consciousness, "This is it, this is it."

The ore in his hand had a hint of green, just like a piece of beautiful jade, but looking closely, it was full of impurities.

The World Tree was slightly excited, but Lin Moyu remained calm and put down the ore in his hand.

Lin Moyu continued to check other ores, one after another, just like before.

Finally, at the eightieth piece, a voice sounded faintly, "You've seen enough, right? Are you going to buy it or not?"

Lin Moyu said, "I've already picked out a few pieces, and I wanted to see if there are any others suitable. If there are, I'll buy them all together."

That Dao Venerable opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were incomparably deep, and in that moment, Lin Moyu felt as if he saw the starry sky.

A deep gaze swept over Lin Moyu, "You've picked out a few, can you afford them?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "It should be fine. How about I buy a few pieces first?"

As he spoke, Lin Moyu picked up five pieces of ore, "Just these five. Please give me a price."

The Dao Venerable swept his eyes over them and said casually, "The prices are clearly marked. Look for yourself."

Only then did Lin Moyu notice that there was a small sign standing behind this Dao Venerable… The small sign clearly marked the price: 200 third-grade high-quality origin crystals per piece of ore, a unified price for different materials.

Lin Moyu knew that not everyone could clearly sense the grade of materials like he could. Even some people in the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce had to use some special means or rely on rich experience to judge.

And he relied on his powerful spiritual sense to roughly judge the grade of the materials.

Among the five materials he picked, besides the ore containing the remains of the spirit vein, the other four included two in the Heavenly Venerable Realm and two in the Dao Venerable Realm.

Now it seemed that he had really done something unnecessary.

"Not thinking big enough!"

Lin Moyu mocked himself, casually taking out a sixth-grade high-quality origin crystal, "Is it okay to pay with this?"

The Dao Venerable's eyes lit up instantly, "No problem."

He snatched the origin crystal from Lin Moyu's hand as if afraid that Lin Moyu would go back on his word.

Lin Moyu also put the five pieces of ore into his storage space at the same time.

Money and goods cleared, and the transaction between the two was considered complete.

Now, even if the other party wanted to go back on his word, it was too late.

This time, no one came to disturb them, and the transaction went very smoothly.

The Dao Venerable said, "Alright, continue choosing."

Lin Moyu smiled and chose for a while longer, picking out a total of ten materials.

These materials were all in the Dao Venerable Realm, which could be considered worth more than the price.

Leaving the trading market, Lu Fengyao finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly were you trying to buy just now?"

From the constant aimless walking and trial and error, to the materials he finally bought, Lu Fengyao knew that Lin Moyu must have wanted to buy something special.

She hadn't asked before, but finally spoke up now.

Lin Moyu didn't keep her in suspense, "The remains of an origin spirit vein."

Lu Fengyao's eyes widened, "What do you want that for?"

Before Lin Moyu could answer, Lu Fengyao had already found the answer for him, "I know, you want to use it to feed an origin spirit vein."

Lin Moyu had established his own power and must possess an origin spirit vein.

However, Lu Fengyao estimated that Lin Moyu's origin spirit vein was not strong, so he needed the remains of an origin spirit vein to feed it.

Since there was such a good explanation, Lin Moyu didn't need to say anything more.

Lu Fengyao added, "It's just that I'm very curious, how did you discover the remains of the origin spirit vein?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "My spiritual sense is relatively strong and I can sense it, but it's often inaccurate; it depends on luck."

Chapter 2256

In the space where the three ancestors of Shang City were located, there was a screen in front of them.

The screen showed every move Lin Moyu and Lu Fengyao made in the free market today. Every word they said, every sentence, fell clearly into the eyes of the three ancestors.

The Third Ancestor whispered, "Little Lian, what do you think?"

Lu Lian's voice sounded, "Lin Moyu and Miss Feng Yao have a good relationship."

The Third Ancestor chuckled, "I'm not asking about that. I'm asking what you think of Lin Moyu as a person."

Lu Lian evaluated truthfully, "Cautious, intelligent, with excellent talent. As long as he can survive smoothly, his future achievements will be limitless."

The Third Ancestor smiled, "It seems Little Lian thinks highly of him. Then tell me, compared to Miss Feng Yao, who will have higher achievements in the future?"

Lu Lian hesitated for a moment before speaking, "According to my calculations, it's fifty-fifty."

The Third Ancestor was slightly moved; this evaluation was higher than before.

Lu Fengyao was cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce with all its might; whether in terms of resources, temperament, or knowledge, she was incomparable to ordinary people.

Moreover, after Lu Fengyao became a Dao Venerable, her cultivation speed would not decrease, but rather get faster and faster.

Lu Lian knew this clearly, but she still had such a high evaluation of Lin Moyu.

Lu Lian suddenly asked back, "Third Ancestor, what do you think?"

The Third Ancestor laughed out loud, "What do I think? I'm sitting and watching!"

"At least this kid doesn't have bad intentions toward Miss Feng Yao. He has passed the test of character."

"Has the matter of the red silk scarf been investigated?"

Lu Lian said, "It has been investigated. The final ownership of the red silk scarf belongs to the Hanshui Holy Land."

The Third Ancestor murmured, "Hanshui Holy Land, Hanshui Holy Land… How could their item be in his hands? What kind of relationship does he have with the Hanshui Holy Land?"

After muttering to himself for a few sentences, the Third Ancestor continued, "Who is the Holy Master of this generation of the Hanshui Holy Land? Pull out all the information, and by the way, pull out their purchase list from recent years as well."

Little Lian said "En," and immediately pulled out all the relevant information.
