Chapter 625: Starlight Energy + Chapter 626: Opening Three Orifices

"Brother, I have made considerable achievements in the field of alchemy. If you need life-saving spirit pills or those that accelerate cultivation, we can discuss this further."

This must be an alchemist.

"One must sharpen their tools to do the work well. If you need treasure armor or divine weapons, feel free to chat privately."

Another person spoke gently.

This one specializes in artifact refining.

When Zhou Ping’an first entered, just like last time, hardly anyone paid attention to him.

Those faceless figures clearly did not regard him, a newcomer labeled as Nine, as anyone of importance. But as soon as he openly displayed a large amount of incense, he was immediately swarmed with enthusiastic offers.

"Genuine treasures can’t be bought with incense. If you seek specific resources, brother, why not team up with us?

Coming from the same star domain, we are, in a sense, old acquaintances. It’s rare that fate brings us into the same trade settlement, and we ought to help one another. If you’re interested, I have some good tasks here..."

This one was using the guise of being a fellow townsman to get close and pull others into completing tasks together.

It was unclear whether this was done with good intent or ill intent.

However, back in modern society, Zhou Ping’an had heard plenty of stories due to his line of work. Stories about unfortunate fools who had met their end by trusting fellow townsmen.

Why do townsmen trick one another?

Because, apart from them, no one else could deceive you the same way.

"I appreciate your kindness, but let me chat with the Traveling Envoy first."

Zhou Ping’an cupped his hands with a smile, politely declining.

He still remembered last time. He had seen the list of items offered by the Traveling Envoy but chose to be cautious and not reveal his wealth. The envoy likely held back one or several treasures from the list.

The reasoning was simple.

The treasures found in star domains are endless, and even describing them as vast as the seas wouldn’t suffice.

The envoy wouldn’t immediately reveal their entire stock to a newcomer, allowing them to pick slowly and carefully.

"Still buying information this time? I’ve got detailed intel on Bei Town’s Yue Family and West Town’s Yang Family, down to individual divine power martial arts. I’ll give you a deal—ten thousand incense per family’s intel."

The Traveling Envoy wore a look as if Zhou Ping’an had struck a bargain, throwing in bait tailored to him.

"Too expensive. If that’s the case, there’s no point in making this deal. Excuse me."

Zhou Ping’an pretended to leave.

He was here to seek useful resources, not to be the fool overpaying.

As the saying goes, there’s no business without trickery, and this Traveling Envoy lacked sincerity.

"Wait, wait! I’m just running a small business. Mr. Nine, tell me what you need exactly."

The Traveling Envoy quickly adjusted his stance.

"Let’s not beat around the bush. This time I came for convenience. Does the Shadow Pavilion have Void Star Stones for sale? Of course, Starlight Energy works too."

Other pills or weapons weren’t particularly necessary for him.

He could refine top-grade elixirs for enhancing energy and healing himself.

As for elixirs for the Divine Martial Realm and higher, he couldn’t consume them currently, making them unnecessary for now.

Only the resources required to open the Heavenly Origin Nine Orifices, as dictated by the Suppression Prison Demon Sect, were urgently needed.

To open each Body Orifice, one required a Star Stone.

Additionally, a vast amount of Starlight Energy was essential—a direct necessity that couldn’t be avoided.

Starlight Energy might be obtainable from the ruins and caverns in modern society’s Nine Layers of Hell Array, but this distant source couldn’t satisfy his immediate need. Besides, the Nine Layers of Hell Array itself was notoriously challenging.

Zhou Ping’an had done thorough evaluations.

With his current strength, it would be impressive to clear the fourth level.

Even if he collected all the Starlight Energy from the third and fourth levels, it would still fall far short of what was needed to open the remaining eight orifices.

Buying the energy outright would certainly be preferable.

As for Void Star Stones...

He currently possessed one Yin-attribute and one Gold-attribute stone, which would be enough to open no more than three orifices—leaving him six short, and searching for them would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

If he could obtain all he needed from the Shadow Pavilion, it would allow him to progress rapidly and simplify many matters.

"Why didn’t you say so sooner?"

The Traveling Envoy’s spirit revived.

"Starlight Energy—I can source that quickly. I happen to have some reserves. It’s an excellent energy source for body refinement, array refinement, or artifact refining. But let me say first, this energy is extracted from Void Stars and requires an immense amount of effort and time. It’s not cheap—one unit of Starlight Energy costs a thousand incense."

"How far can one unit of Starlight Energy support the Star Refining Body technique?"

"A True Martial Early Stage body refining practitioner would require approximately three units of Starlight Energy to cultivate into the Stellar Body. Let me be clear—this price is fixed. In certain worlds, Starlight Energy even acts as currency. Its pricing is extremely stable, and the profit margin is razor-thin. It can’t go any lower."

"Fine, a thousand incense per unit. Give me twenty units."

Zhou Ping’an calculated that to open two additional orifices, taking into account the doubling of energy requirements for each successive orifice, he would need around eighteen units.

"Straightforward."

After completing the transaction and exchanging incense, Zhou Ping’an noticed a faint ripple in the void before him, where a neatly stacked pile of twenty crystalline bricks materialized.

Picking up one Crystal Brick, he sensed the immense energy solidified within. Without commenting further, he waved his hand and stored them away.

He continued, "Let’s test the quality of this Starlight Energy first, to see if it could aid artifact refining. By the way, Traveling Envoy, do you have Void Star Stones for sale, regardless of the attribute?"

"Ah, Star Stones—that’s a challenge for me. This kind of item is typically produced by special worlds, and their stocks are exceedingly scarce. Anyone lucky enough to obtain them would likely keep them to themselves and hide them away..."
