His confirmation made Xia Yue even more astonished.
*The previous trade had been worth tens of thousands of Cent Star Stones; this time… it was bound to exceed a hundred thousand!*
*That wasn’t even the entirety of his gains. He had kept the most valuable Shining Star Level Star Core to feed Ruan Ruan.*
*Having failed to contribute during the earlier battles, Ruan Ruan had felt deeply guilty and committed itself to intense cultivation ever since returning from Black Wind Domain.*
*With the Devouring Law and an abundant supply of Shining Star Level Cores, Ruan Ruan was consuming them so rapidly that it was nearing its limit. If not for the strain on its body, it might have already broken through to Gold High Stage.*
*Once the remaining cores had been devoured, it wouldn’t just reach Gold High Stage—it might even hit the Gold Limit.*
*If cores ran out, switching to pure Star Stones was always an option.*
*Unlike others who needed the Star Mist Pool to convert Star Stone energy into usable Star Power, Ruan Ruan could absorb the pure energy directly and even faster than from Star Cores!*
Xia Yue took a deep breath and, without further delay, began identifying the star artifacts one by one right in Su Yuan’s room.
“Roughly estimated, the total is just over two hundred thousand Star Stones.”
After what felt like an eternity, Xia Yue finally exhaled and reclined against the chair.
*Su Yuan nodded quietly to himself—excluding the Shining Star Level cores, this matched his estimate of around two hundred thousand.*
“I’ll take these items back to Demon Capital’s regional division for recovery. Do you have any special instructions?” she asked.
“No.”
“Alright.” Xia Yue nodded and stored everything back in the rings.
Su Yuan spoke again. “Aside from these items, I do have one more thing I’d like you to help me exchange for something.”
“Exchange?” Xia Yue asked, visibly intrigued.
When Su Yuan flipped his hand to reveal a glowing Purple Card flexing with Star Power, her gaze instantly froze.
He placed the Purple Card carefully onto the table and slid it toward Xia Yue. “This is it. Have a look first.”
Xia Yue’s breathing grew visibly erratic. Her hands trembled ever so slightly as she carefully picked up the card, her attitude far more delicate than before.
On the surface of the card appeared a blazing Light Arrow striking straight at divinity.
“The Divine Destruction Arrow!”
Just the name alone caused Xia Yue to inhale sharply.
“Where did you even get this?”
*On Silver Stage, Purple Cards were exceedingly rare, and for Gold or Shining Star Level stages, they were precious treasures beyond imagination.*
*For Silver Stage cultivators, seeing one in person was already extraordinary.*
*Even as the daughter of the Beidou Consortium, Xia Yue had never personally handled an Epic Grade Star Card before.*
“Luck—it was a spoil from an enemy,” Su Yuan replied nonchalantly.
Xia Yue took another deep breath, gazing at the purple card in her hand. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of terrifying opponent had possessed such a card.
*Clearly, they were on a far higher level than she was.*
*At that moment, the confidence and joy she’d felt from her recent breakthrough to Silver High Stage were rudely shattered by the young man before her…*
*Damn, this guy is a complete freak!*
Xia Yue couldn’t help but curse internally.
“What’s wrong?”
Su Yuan, oblivious to her inner turmoil, was puzzled by her slightly annoyed expression.
“Nothing.” Xia Yue quickly waved it off and asked, “You mentioned earlier that you want to exchange this card?”
“Yeah, I’m looking to trade it for Space Star Cards or other Fire Element ones. Epic cards are rarely available in the marketplace, but you major commerce networks should have specialized channels for high-end trades, right?”
“We do, but the success rate for such trades tends to be very low. The process starts by imprinting the card’s details into the system and listing it publicly on the platform.” Xia Yue explained.
“That works. I’m mostly trying my luck anyway.” Su Yuan replied.
Xia Yue nodded. “Alright, let me record it first.”
The earlier loot was one thing, but a treasure like a Purple Card of Epic Grade was no trivial matter.
*Regardless of whether Su Yuan trusted her, Xia Yue couldn’t possibly just casually pocket something of such immense value.*
She pulled out a blank “Model Card,” placing it on top of Divine Destruction Arrow. After a faint shimmer, the card’s information had been imprinted onto the model.
Handing the Divine Destruction Arrow back to Su Yuan, Xia Yue reminded him, “By listing it on the platform, whether during the public display or the final trade, there will be transaction fees—a few thousand Cent Star Stones, most likely.”
“Not an issue.” Su Yuan casually handed over another ten thousand Star Stones to cover additional costs. “Go ahead and list it now.”
Xia Yue clicked her tongue in disbelief. “You sure have deep pockets. Whatever’s left over will be returned to you along with the payout for the other items.”
“Thanks for handling it. Truly.”
Xia Yue crossed her arms. “Hmph. Words mean nothing! If you really appreciate me, you’d properly reward this lady.”
Su Yuan chuckled and gestured toward the pile of star artifacts on the table. “Then pick one of these as your reward?”
*Selling off such a vast haul was certainly time-consuming and inconvenient.*
*With Xia Yue taking over, he could save time, avoid hassle, and trust that she wouldn’t undersell the value.*
*Allowing her to pick one star artifact as her compensation felt entirely appropriate. Besides, Su Yuan wasn’t the least bit attached to these spoils.*
“Not necessary. Processing these items will still earn profit for Beidou Commerce,” Xia Yue replied, seemingly uninterested in taking a labor fee. Her eyes twitched mischievously as she added, “If you’re serious, how about treating me to dinner instead?”
“Done. That’s easy enough.” Su Yuan grinned. “You set the time.”
Xia Yue’s eyes lit up with joy as she considered her schedule. “I’ll be busy handling all this over today and tomorrow. Let’s have dinner the night after.”
“Alright.”
