Chapter 506: The Dragon’s Lair

More than two thousand people became excited, and many had already quickly left.

The value of medicine no longer needs to be demonstrated.

Everyone has already seen it.

More than half of the two thousand people had already vanished, and everyone understood the value of the medicine in Lu Yu’s hands.

To gain more, one must act quickly.

This medicine is worth far more than the Evolution Serum, drop for drop.

Based on Lu Yu’s personality, whoever makes the first move will get the sale.

So you have to be fast, definitely fast.

Such a deal could influence the development of various organizations in the coming years.

Some people left, while others stayed behind.

They also needed to keep watch over the stalls. In order to make the most of this trade fair, various organizations had put out many valuable items for sale, hoping to enhance their reputation through the worth of these goods.

Now they have gathered here and witnessed a miracle, and that is enough.

Moreover, Lu Yu must have other things in his possession.

Given Lu Yu’s personality, the items he sells are definitely top-notch.

So they were also waiting for Lu Yu to continue bringing things out.

Lu Yu glanced at those who had stayed behind and continued, “Everyone just witnessed the effect of the medicine. To be honest, though, this medicine is extremely valuable and difficult to produce, so even if there is some available, the quantity won’t be large. I still have one hundred vials of evolution liquid left—each vial can be exchanged for one piece of the Blue Planet’s Soul.”

Lu Yu smiled and took out a small bottle from his robe, gently shaking it.

The liquid in the bottle splashed against the sides, making a clinking sound.

“This—” Qian Hai and the others felt a moment of embarrassment, not expecting Lu Yu to actually sell the hundred-drop evolution serum.

The value of the Blue Planet’s Soul and Evolution Liquid is equivalent, as both are extremely rare.

They really can’t afford such an exchange.

“We’ll take them all,” a group of humanoid warriors said loudly. “One hundred coins for one hundred drops, a bargain.”

The warriors of the humanoid race were overjoyed; this was clearly prepared especially for them.

They wouldn’t lack Blue Planet Souls. Moreover, in their missions, sometimes submitting a drop of evolution liquid could earn them two Blue Planet Souls, and there was also a considerable chance of obtaining Blue Planet Souls from other tasks.

The value of the evolution liquid here is even higher than that of the Blue Planet’s Soul.

A group of humanoid warriors quickly gathered a hundred Blue Star Souls and exchanged them with Lu Yu for a vial of evolution liquid.

A snake person took it, opened the small bottle, sniffed it, and confirmed that the item was correct.

“Lu Yu, do you still have that kind of medicine? At what price will you sell it?” The snake man picked up the bottle, then stared at Lu Yu while asking.

Someone expressed dissatisfaction, saying, “Mr. Lu, why don’t you exchange your medicine for the soul of Blue Planet instead? Very few humans can afford it, otherwise. Aren’t you just giving the humanoids a free advantage?”

The humanoid warrior immediately glared at the speaker with eyes full of fury, each of them radiating a deadly aura.

The man, however, was not in a hurry at all. He merely curled the corner of his mouth, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

In front of Lu Yu, if they dared to lay a hand, it would be nothing short of suicide.

Qian Hai said eagerly, “Exactly, Mr. Lu, if you’re willing, we can exchange something of equal value with you, not a penny less.”

At this time, the child and his parents had already left.

The child’s task was completed.

As for the child’s future development, whether he will be worth a thousand jin or a little less, the major organizations do not really care.

However, in some organizations, this child could actually hold a position as high as a team leader.

Qian Hai and others valued the effect of this medicine.

Just one drop can create a super genius.

“I still have four drops of this medicine in my possession. However, the item I want in return will also be something very special. Without it, I won’t sell the medicine.”

Lu Yu listed more than 40 different items in one breath; most of these were primary ingredients for star artifacts, and some were also rare and crucial materials for refining such artifacts.

As the power of the star artifact in his hand was unleashed, Lu Yu also began to eagerly desire having his own star artifact.

But it’s still early, he needs to prepare.

More than forty items were listed, and everyone took out paper and pen to carefully write them down.

The humanoid warrior frowned and said, “Lu Yu, you know the value of these items better than anyone else, otherwise you wouldn’t have proposed the exchange. One drop of medicine for one item—you really think that’s fair?”

Lu Yu glanced at the other person and coldly said, “You can choose not to exchange, and you can choose not to trade. When I believe my items can no longer be sold, I will naturally lower the price. But right now, I have no intention of lowering it.”

“Hehe, if you all don’t want to buy, we certainly will,” Qian Hai laughed. “I’ll go back and mobilize my subordinates to search for these items. I wonder, Mr. Lu, if you’ll be able to guarantee enough medicine for the transaction when the time comes?”

Lu Yu deliberately sighed and said, “I can’t guarantee how much medicine I have. Whether you can buy it or not depends on your luck.”

Everyone and the demons nodded in agreement.

You know what you need to know, and the necessary reports have already been made.

The rest depends on who can take the lead first.

When the crowd learned that Lu Yu had nothing else, they gradually dispersed.

Lu Yu watched as the crowd dispersed and everyone returned to their stalls, resuming their calls to attract customers. He touched the Blue Planet Soul he had acquired in exchange, and a smile spread across his face.

Let me calculate. The most expensive ingredient for the hundred drops of evolution liquid is the Blue Planet Soul. The rest of the ingredients combined don’t even amount to a price of one million star spirit stones.

Turning it around for a hundredfold profit—such a deal is simply too good to pass up.

As long as relations with the humanoid race are maintained, a large amount of Blue Planet Souls can be accumulated in a short period of time to produce Domain Guardians. With further enhancement through evolution liquid, he intended to build Fanggang into the safest fortress in the world.

Lu Yu took another round at the convention center, then the old ancestor of the Snake Clan and Qin Hai hurried over. Upon learning what Lu Yu intended to trade, both of them couldn’t help but frown.

But this is the benefit of a monopoly.

If you don’t buy, there’s a huge crowd ready to purchase.

In the following days, Lu Yu bought a few more things at the fair. Although they were not very valuable, they were all things he needed.

During these three days, the old snake man, Hai Qin, and Lu Yu also handled hundreds of harassment incidents.

After all, the transaction will be too large, and it’s impossible for everyone to follow the rules.

Some people snatch, some kill, and there are also troublemakers.

The three of them should be dealt with accordingly: those who deserve execution shall be executed, those who should be expelled will be expelled, and those needing discipline will be disciplined.

Lu Yu had barely rested for three days, but thanks to his efforts, the lives and property of the people here were maximally protected. Moreover, the third day of the fair saw the highest peak in both attendance and transactions.

In the end, when the underground organization and Lu Yu’s group of three split up, Lu Yu received thirty-six billion star spirit stones.

Earning this amount in three days is something many people might not achieve in their entire lifetime.

Lu Yu was very satisfied that his efforts over the past three days had paid off.

After the fair, Lu Yu returned to Fanggang.

Liu Xing brought Lu Yu the news, which was about the Dragon’s Nest.

“After all these years, is there finally some news?”

The message sent by Heizi Wu Wenjie to Lu Yu stated that over the years, the Wu family, the Chen family, and others had been collecting clues about the Dragon’s Nest in Chang County and even across the country. For nearly two decades, they had never stopped, all in order to fulfill the promise they made to Lu Yu back then.

Not long ago, they finally found news about the Dragon Clan.

“The Dragon Clan wasn’t completely destroyed,” Lu Yu said, reading the letter Liu Xing handed him, his voice filled with surprise. “The Dragon King’s corpse was merely a body left behind after a transformation.”

The news delivered by Wu Wenjie and others came as a surprise to Lu Yu, yet it was somewhat expected.

If the Dragon King is truly a king, he must also have ways to protect himself, just like the Spirit King and others who have such abilities.

In the Dragon’s Nest of Chang County, the Wu family uncovered some clues. Following these leads, they traveled across the country for twenty years, encountering many demons along the way, before finally obtaining this information.

The Dragon Clan took away the most precious items back then; what was left in the dragon’s nest was merely a collection of secondary treasures.

“There’s actually another Star Artifact,” Lu Yu said, crushing the letter in his hand into pieces. A flicker of flame ignited in his palm, reducing the remaining scraps of paper to ashes.

“Whatever they need, Liu Xing, provide them with full funding,” Lu Yu said earnestly. “Make sure they keep this matter strictly confidential—absolutely no leaks.”

Liu Xing nodded in understanding and said, “Mr. Lu, Wu Wenjie has come here in person this time and has something he wants to tell you himself.”

“Oh?” Lu Yu was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t seen Wu Wenjie in many years.

At that time, Lu Yu had also granted Wu Wenjie and others access to the core areas, in order to allow everyone to seek refuge at any time if they were in danger.

However, Wu Wenjie had not returned for many years and did not directly enter the core area. Instead, he waited within the first domain for Lu Yu’s return.

Liu Xing had Wu Wenjie brought back into the core area. Lu Yu noticed that the once thin and dark少年 had now grown into a burly man.

Wu Wenjie was still somewhat cold-hearted, but his strength was incomparable to what it was back then.

“Mr. Lu.” Wu Wenjie’s expression turned excited when he saw Lu Yu.

Over the years, he had often heard news about Lu Yu. He had already greatly admired Lu Yu back then, and now, meeting again, his excitement was even more intense.

Lu Yu smiled and said, “It’s been over a decade since we last met—you’ve become much stronger. You’ve already reached the level of a Thousand Venerables. Not bad, not bad. Your progress hasn’t been slow at all. It seems you still have great potential for improvement.”

Wu Wenjie felt somewhat shy from Lu Yu’s remarks and kept scratching his head while laughing, “I’m nowhere near as good as you. Hehe, hehe.”

This time, in front of Lu Yu, Wu Wenjie could no longer pretend to be cold or composed at all.

“It’s good that you can find the real dragon’s nest. I’ve already asked Liu Xing to provide you with all the assistance you need. You can go directly to him whenever you require anything. However, remember that everything must remain strictly confidential.”

Lu Yu earnestly warned Wu Wenjie.

Wu Wenjie said earnestly, “Mr. Lu, please rest assured. Aside from our group, no one else knows about this matter. We will never forget the grace of you saving our lives back then. It has already been unsettling for us that we’ve had only a little information all these years. This time, besides bringing you news about the Dragon’s Nest, I also have another piece of information for you.”

“What news?” Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise. “This must be important if you came here personally. Could it possibly be more significant than the Dragon’s Nest?”

Wu Wenjie nodded and said seriously, “It’s still about the Dragon’s Nest, but this time it’s not about the dragon race—it’s about the Dragon’s Nest itself.”
