Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1794 - 875: Transaction_2

Song Chi remained composed in his seat, his face tranquil, as his fingers lightly drummed against the enigmatic divine wood table, creating a steady, gentle rhythm.
Yet, his eyes would drift now and then toward the central display of the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill, revealing his keen interest and eagerness.
Right now, he wasn't here in his role as the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market. Next to him gathered reps 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.
Through his position as the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market, he had summoned these representatives, viewing their groups as promising 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 gleamed pure white, while within his irises, intricate 3D runes flickered in and out, identifying him as a Ninth Rank True Spirit Wizard of the Tower of Truth—Augustus Vire.
Before Wizard Augustus sat a crystal vessel brimming with tea formed from sheer energy, left undrunk. Even in advanced years, his features held gravity and vitality, laced with a clear hint of yearning.
"Lord of the Ruins Market..." Augustus's tone boomed low and captivating, echoing with strange laws, utterly sincere.
"This Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill holds immense importance for our tower. I, Vire, was dispatched by the Tower Master on a vital errand to clinch this deal. But the terms you've proposed... one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal, and ten shares of Mythical Soul, is that...?"
He halted briefly, choosing his phrases carefully, reluctant to provoke this enigmatic overlord of the Ruins Market, while still pushing for the Tower of Truth's benefits.
"That Seven-Colored Fire counts as a cosmic wonder, scarce to the point of impossibility. Across countless ages, our tower has scraped together just a handful. The Time Source Crystal ties into the core Time Law, tough to gather, and ten kilograms equals almost ten thousand years' worth from the tower. As for Mythical Soul... thirty shares feels a bit much..."
Across from him, the phantom in purple robes, forged by the Ruins Market's Rule Power, considered silently before replying in a mild tone.
I understand some basics about the Tower of Truth's setup, and factoring in the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill's benefits, this cost isn't over the top.
The Ruins Market's Rule Power voice stayed even, but it held an 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 overlord elevation, its worth defies standard resource valuation.
Wizard Augustus stayed quiet briefly, the chamber filled only with the subtle buzz of flowing rule light. He recognized the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market's words rang true, yet as the deal's advocate, he had to try bargaining down the cost.
"Your words hold merit, my lord..." Augustus resumed speaking.
"It's exactly because of our tower's deepest commitment that I arrived in person, but... these terms surpass what we anticipated."
"Might you think about... cutting back on the Mythical Soul? How about one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, 7kg of Time Source Crystal, and 10 shares of Mythical Soul—does that seem fair to you, my lord?"
The Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market's purple mist form subtly 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 guess. A full strand of Seven-Colored Fire serves as one key component. Each pill's creation devours a wonder. The offer I made stands as the bare minimum.
Once done, Song Chi pulled back his mental presence, ceasing further reply.
His intent came through loud and clear.
Should the terms appear too steep, no point in forcing it; 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 might, it faces competitors. Should rival groups, particularly enemy civilizations, snag the Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill ahead and birth fresh Tenth Rank Myths, that would pose a grave danger.
In the midst of the current chaos across the Mixed Elemental Divine Land Sky Ape Star Realm, only added mythical strength can shield one amid the coming storm.
Creases on Wizard Augustus's brow deepened further. 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'll accept your original terms: one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal, and thirty shares of Mythical Soul, all for a single Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill."
But again, the purple mist form shook its head this time.
Augustus's expression shifted a touch, expecting the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market to deny or hike the price.
Instead, the purple mist form stated steadily:
No hurry, let me outline the alternate deal option.
Beneath Augustus's abruptly sharpened stare, it continued unhurriedly:
We can waive the Mythical Soul; the new terms become: one strand of Seven-Colored Fire, plus ten kilograms of Time Source Crystal.
Wizard Augustus's gaze tightened, though he held his tongue, aware the Ruins Market Lord wasn't finished.
Should you accept, all future Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill trades with the wizard civilization will match this rate, but I'm especially keen on the Tower of Truth's core research notes for the Eternal Tower Meditation Method and Elemental Truth. Would "Mei’er" care to share a full set of this lore with me?
Moreover, should the Tower of Truth seek additional Mixed Elemental Infinite Pills down the line, I can grant them first dibs on exchanges.
