Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 767 - 425: Luo Venerable’s Guidance, Cooperation with the Trading Building, Further Understanding the Inner Ring of the Star Ruins Realm (2)

Jiang Shu's thoughts flashed past, he directly walked towards the Trading Building.

Every step he took was incredibly ordinary, yet some geniuses in the Inner Circle who had originally paid attention to him all noticed something crucial.

Jiang Shu's injuries... had completely healed in such a short time!

This method definitely involved intervention from a Venerable of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance!

Even within the Inner Circle, an Eleventh Rank Venerable is a lofty figure, whose every action represents the face of the Venerable.

Healing a genius is as simple for a Venerable as raising a glass of water.

But what they perceived was the meaning behind it!

For a Venerable to treat Jiang Shu indicates that Jiang Shu's performance in the Eternal Tower this time has definitely brought prestige to the Commerce Alliance. In this context, perhaps they guessed wrong from the start; Jiang Shu didn't clear the Third Floor, but rather the Fourth Floor?

Geniuses who realized this crucial point couldn't help but have their eyes filled with astonishment; some of them had only cleared the Third Floor, fully aware of the high difficulty of the Fourth Floor.

And now, someone from the Outer Circle who initially just barely became a supreme genius of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, Jiang Shu, actually cleared the Fourth Floor, this... can't be true.

Wait!

The direction Jiang Shu is heading in is the Trading Building; perhaps he will record his progress in the Eternal Tower in the Trading Building.

Every time a genius clears a floor, they receive a floor mark from the Eternal Tower.

With the mark, upon re-entering, they can start without clearing from the first floor again.

The Trading Building uses this to verify authenticity.

"Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, Jiang Shu, cleared the Fourth Floor, situation recorded here."

Jiang Shu summoned the battle with the clone from the Fourth Floor, recorded it in the Jade Talisman, and handed it to the Trading Building. He understood Luo Venerable's intention; this time, the other supreme geniuses of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance were all stuck on the Fourth Floor, his success would be sufficient to motivate the other geniuses of the alliance.

Additionally, it would also compel the forces and geniuses of the Inner Circle to acknowledge the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance.

"Cleared the Fourth Floor?"

"Lord Jiang, please wait."

The Ninth Rank elder in the Trading Building's eyes brightened, after confirming the battle recorded in the Jade Talisman, he immediately sent a message; a genius who cleared the Fourth Floor is far beyond his capacity to receive.

Their Trading Building stands within the base not to conduct business, but to establish early connections with geniuses.

Especially some geniuses coming from the Outer Circle, their foundations are relatively shallow; establishing early connections will lead to immensely large future returns.

Moments later, a Tenth Rank expert, with a delighted smile, voluntarily led the way to a secret room, saying: "Jiang Genius, please."

...

"Cooperation?"

Within the secret room, in front of Jiang Shu, floated one glowing sphere after another.

Ordinary geniuses, upon entering the Trading Building, at most just sell the scenes of their battles to the Building to exchange for some cultivation resources. This transaction is the most basic deal, neither valuable to the Building nor the genius.

The truly valuable aspect lies here.

The Trading Building is equipped with a Transmission Array, able to connect to various secret locations.

The time flow rate of the Eternal Tower allows geniuses to continuously cultivate, but cultivation will eventually encounter bottlenecks; at this time, solely relying on time grinding makes breakthroughs difficult.

What's needed is targeted cultivation.

Choosing a secret place means going there to break through bottlenecks.

Of course, this is also a win-win for the Trading Building. For a genius to enter these secret places means accepting tasks from the Building, they need to obtain some scarce resources for the Building in the perilous secret places.

"Everything has already been discussed. Rest assured, Jiang Genius, our cooperation with you is entirely open, it doesn't mean you are betraying or leaving the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance. If that were the case, with Luo Venerable's methods, he would have crushed me long ago. After all, our conversation here can be hidden from other geniuses, but not from the Venerables."

The Tenth Rank expert in the Trading Building chuckled: "Of course, it's best to go to these secret places after reaching Tenth Rank. These secret places are all within the Inner Circle, extremely dangerous, some even contain the inheritance of fallen Venerables. So, Jiang Genius, no need to rush. Reach the Tenth Rank then you can come to our Trading Building."

"Besides, the better the secret place, the higher the required access level; reaching the Fourth Floor affords only the lowest access level. If Jiang Genius has the strength to spare, by all means, continue to aim for the Fifth Floor, it's absolutely advantageous."

"These resources can be considered as our Purchasing Jiang Genius' information from the Trading Building."

Glancing at the various Cosmic Crystals and cultivation materials within the glowing spheres, Jiang Shu nodded, receiving all into his Sleeve Universe.

The secret locations mentioned earlier by the Tenth Rank expert in the Trading Building were continuously being sifted through in his mind.

Compared to the Outer Circle, the Inner Circle is more orderly, and each secret place already has an owner; unless through a mediator like the Trading Building, even if the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance settled in the Inner Circle, geniuses like him could not enter these secret places.

What's more, the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance is currently still in the Outer Circle.

If he could go to various secret places through the Trading Building, it would bring not only a boost in strength but also allow him to access the Inner Circle of the Star Ruins Realm in advance.

Otherwise, he would be stuck cultivating within the base endlessly.

Indeed, only when talent and realm reach a certain level, can one touch a new world.

...

"Rest assured, I, old Yuan, within two years, will definitely clear the Third Floor! This time I passed the Second Floor with ease, almost there on the Third Floor; I've had an epiphany!"

At the entrance of the Eternal Tower.

Yuan Tai laughed heartily; while bragging with another genius from the Commerce Alliance, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking over, his eyes filled with surprise: "Lord Jiang Shu, when did you return!"

"Just now."

Jiang Shu responded with a smile as he looked at Yuan Tai.

Among the twenty-seven geniuses in the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, he was most familiar with Yuan Tai.

From Yuan Tai, he gained better insight into the Blood Essence Dao.

Although their relationship is not deep enough to share Blood Essence, conversing and sharing cultivation insights were certainly doable.

"Hehe, let's talk about it later! We finally gather, let's relax for a bit. Later, join me for a fight, these Inner Circle geniuses are strong, but they all rely on spiritual power; few match my physical strength. All these years, my best match is still you, Lord Jiang Shu."

Yuan Tai scratched the back of his head, paying no mind to the blood covering his body, pulling Jiang Shu towards the arena.

He's crude but careful, knowing that Jiang Shu's time is precious; seeing that he intends to re-enter the Eternal Tower, he ignores his wounds wanting a match with him first.

After all, he knows full well, since he can't defeat Jiang Shu, whether in a peak state or injured state, there isn't much difference; he aims to learn as much as possible.

As long as Jiang Shu is willing to feed him moves.

"No need to be in such a hurry, even if your physical injuries aren't severe, it's not the right moment for sparring now. You've just come out from the Eternal Tower, take time to absorb the battle with the clone, that's what's most needed. Engaging me, you would only perceive me, not yourself."

"With your talent and strength, clearing the Third Floor shouldn't be difficult, but you shouldn't rush to clear it; you can linger on the Third Floor longer, accumulate more, then fully unleash on the Fourth Floor, see if you can clear it successfully. Even if there's a sliver of chance, you should try."

Jiang Shu shook his head, as he prepared to continue his advice.

Then several figures who had entered the Trading Building earlier suddenly leaped out, locking eyes on Jiang Shu, all were stunned.

They said nothing, but their behavior showed that Jiang Shu achieved something truly grand.

Even Yuan Tai sensed something amiss, whispering to Jiang Shu, shortly after, Yuan Tai heard Lord Jiang Shu in front of him, as if not caring in the least, speaking lightly:

"It's okay, they are looking at me probably because I went to the Trading Building earlier to share my information about clearing the Fourth Floor."
