The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 5103 Black Horn City

This city is not built on a planet, but is pieced together from countless huge meteorites and star fragments. It is pitch black and exudes an ancient and weathered aura.

The city was surrounded by countless small airships and caravans, creating a bustling scene.

"That's Blackhorn City, the largest transit station and supply point in the Chaotic Starfield."

Luo Yunsheng explained, "This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it's also a center for intelligence gathering and black market transactions. We need to replenish some special supplies here before heading to the Heavenly Court's Boundary Sea, and also gather the latest information."

Su Bai nodded, put away the divine ship, and the two of them transformed into two streaks of light, landing at the entrance of Blackhorn City.

At the entrance to Blackhorn City, there was no strict inspection like in ordinary cities. There were only two rows of guards in heavy black armor, with a cold aura, standing there, symbolically collecting some entrance fees.

The rules here are simple: anyone can get in as long as they pay.

As long as it's not about killing people in the street, anything is acceptable.

Su Bai casually tossed a few top-grade divine crystals to the guards, and then led Luo Yunsheng into the city without incident.

Upon entering the city, a noisy and decadent atmosphere hit me. Shops lined both sides of the street, and various shouts, arguments, and even fights rose and fell.

The goods sold here are incredibly diverse, ranging from rare medicinal herbs and minerals to enslaved alien creatures and even bloodstained armor just salvaged from the battlefield.

Although Su Bai and Luo Yunsheng had disguised themselves and concealed their auras, their outstanding qualities still attracted a lot of attention. However, the two ignored them and headed straight for the largest "black market exchange" in the city center.

"We need to purchase a large number of 'Stabilizing Beads' and 'Boundary-Breaking Talismans' this time."

As Luo Yunsheng walked, he transmitted his voice, "The spatial turbulence in the Heavenly Court's Boundary Sea is extremely terrifying. Without these things, even a god-level expert could easily lose his way or be swept into a spatial rift and killed."

Su Bai nodded. These supplies were hard to buy outside and could only be found in places like this where all sorts of people gathered.

As soon as the two entered the exchange, a shrewd manager came to greet them.

"What would you two distinguished guests like? Our black market exchange has everything. If you can think of it, we can sell it!" The manager smiled broadly, his small eyes gleaming as he sized up the two men.

"We need fifty of the best Sky-Stabilizing Beads. And one hundred top-tier Boundary-Breaking Talismans," Su Bai stated his requirements directly.

Upon hearing this, the manager's eyes flashed with surprise, then his smile widened: "Oh my, you two are really generous! These things are in high demand and rarely seen. But you two are lucky, a new batch arrived just yesterday."

As he spoke, he led the two to an elegant VIP room, ordered someone to serve fragrant tea, and then took out an exquisite jade box.

The jade box was opened, revealing dozens of beads that emitted faint spatial fluctuations, and a stack of talisman paper covered with complex runes.

"These are all made by famous artists, so the quality is absolutely guaranteed," the manager explained. "However... the price might be a little bit high."

"How much?" Su Bai asked.

"Each Sky-Stabilizing Bead costs 10,000 divine crystals, and each Boundary-Breaking Talisman costs 5,000 divine crystals. In total... one million divine crystals," the steward announced.

Su Bai frowned slightly.

One million divine crystals, while not a large sum for him, was clearly overpriced.

However, he didn't want to waste time haggling and was about to take out his money when he saw Luo Yunsheng wave his hand.

“We don’t want this kind of mass-produced product,” Luo Yunsheng said calmly. “We want a special edition that can withstand the erosion of the ‘Chaos Storm.’ If you don’t have it here, we’ll look elsewhere.”

The manager was taken aback, then his mercenary smile vanished, and he said seriously, "You two are indeed experts. We do have that special edition, but... those things are not traded for with divine crystals."

"Not using divine crystals?" Su Bai was somewhat surprised. "Then what will we use?"

The manager smiled mysteriously and slowly uttered four words: "Chaos Origin Crystal".

"Chaos Origin Crystal?"

Su Bai and Luo Yunsheng exchanged a glance and frowned slightly.

The value of Chaos Abyss Crystals is not low, even for gods!

Seeing that the two were somewhat puzzled, the steward patiently explained, "You two may not know this, but in this chaotic star field, especially near the Heavenly Court's boundary sea, ordinary divine crystals can be used, but the real hard currency is this Chaos Origin Crystal."

"It is not an ordinary energy crystal, but a rare treasure of heaven and earth containing a trace of primordial chaos energy. It can not only be used for cultivation to enhance one's understanding of the laws of chaos, but also to drive many high-level arrays and magical treasures, and is even an indispensable resource for breaking through to the Immortal Realm!"

At this point, a hint of longing appeared in the steward's eyes, "Even a piece of Chaos Origin Crystal the size of a fingernail is worth tens of millions of divine crystals, and it is often priceless."

Su Bai's heart stirred. Essential for breaking through to the Immortal Realm? This piqued his interest greatly.

He's currently stuck at the peak of the God Realm, just one step away from the Immortal Realm, and perhaps this Chaos Origin Crystal is the key.

"We don't have any Chaos Origin Crystals on us," Su Bai said frankly. "Could we use other treasures as a substitute?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in the manager's eyes, but he still smiled professionally and said, "Of course. Exquisite artifacts, top-grade divine medicines, or rare cultivation techniques can all be used for valuation."

Su Bai nodded and casually took out a broken artifact—a shattered demonic sword—from his storage ring, which he had seized from the demon gods.

Although it is incomplete, it still exudes a terrifying, immortal magical power.

Upon seeing this, the steward's pupils constricted sharply, and his breathing became rapid: "This is... an immortal demonic weapon from the Demon Kingdom?!"

After some appraisal and bargaining, the damaged demonic blade was finally valued at ten low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals.

With these ten Chaos Origin Crystals, Su Bai not only bought the Void-Stabilizing Pearl and Boundary-Breaking Talisman he needed, but also purchased some of the latest information about the Heavenly Court's Boundary Sea.

Stepping out of the exchange, Su Bai toyed with a remaining piece of Chaos Origin Crystal in his hand. The crystal was entirely gray and seemed inconspicuous, but holding it in his hand, he could feel a heavy, mountain-like aura, as if he were holding a small world.

"nice one."

Su Bai tried to absorb a trace of the chaotic energy within, and immediately felt as if the divine power within his body was boiling. The bottleneck that had been difficult to advance even began to loosen slightly.

"It seems that if one wants to gain a foothold in the Realm of Myriad Realms, or even break through to the Immortal Realm, this Chaos Origin Crystal is an indispensable strategic resource," Su Bai sighed.
