Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

"Guest, are you sure you want them all? I still want to remind you that they are very delicate before they emerge from their cocoons, and the emergence rate in our Kate Empire is seventy percent."

"Upon arriving in the Central Empire, due to the limitations of its land and environment, the emergence rate has dropped to only about forty percent. Perhaps you should reconsider?"

"No need. I think this is quite interesting. Boss, please pack up all the ones I've selected. As for how to raise them, what resources they need, and... please tell me in detail. If you have any electronic information, please send me a copy as well."

"Okay, okay, since the customer has made this decision, then I'll pack it up for you."

"No, where did this tycoon come from? As she points with her finger, I feel like my eyes are going blurry. How many is there already?"

"Aren't you worried that none of the ones you buy will emerge from their cocoons, or that even if they do, they'll all be low-grade, or that they won't survive?"

"Buying so much at once, I have to say, it really takes courage."

Mo Li was already used to the discussions among the other guests around her, because she had heard similar things when she bought battle beasts and plant fossils before.

"Ah Yu, do you think I bought too much?"

"As long as Ali is happy, that's all that matters."

other people:"......"

Haha, you really haven't seen us poor folks.

The shopkeeper packed everything Mo Li had bought and put it into the spatial storage button she had given him:

"Guest, you only need to take the cocoons out of the box when you need to feed them. At other times, they are in a dormant state in the box in order to preserve their vitality."

"okay, I get it."

As Mo Li and her companions were about to leave after paying, the shop owner suddenly called out to her, "Please wait a moment, sir."

"What's wrong, boss? Is there anything else?"

"Well, since you've bought so many at once, I happen to have a special cocoon here. I can't guarantee it will actually hatch into a butterfly, because it's been stored for so long, almost a thousand years."

We tried many methods, but it still didn't break free. Gradually, we gave up and could only let it exist in a dormant state.

"Seeing that you really like these cocoons, it just so happens that the cocoons are very beautiful. Even if you don't break them open, they would be very beautiful as decorations."

Mo Li took the jet-black box made of special minerals from the stall owner and opened it under the curious gazes of everyone present. Instantly, those who saw it couldn't help but gasp in shock.

For no other reason?

It is true:

The stall owner wasn't lying; the cocoon was truly beautiful, shimmering with iridescent light and even possessing a mysterious radiance that captivated all who saw it.

"Boss, is this really a free gift from you? That's a bit too generous."

"Ah, ah, I regret it so much. Why didn't I buy so many at once? Then these beautiful cocoons would have been mine."

Are you sure you have that kind of purchasing power?

"Hmph, you see through me but don't say anything. We can still be fun friends. You're really..."

"Yes, this is the only free gift available. It has already been given out. Whether it can emerge from its cocoon depends entirely on luck."

Mo Li's eyes flickered. When it came to her, there was only one possibility: that it would definitely be hatched.

With her spatial abilities at her disposal, there's nothing she can't do. In particular, its unique environment allows any living being inside to instantly radiate boundless vitality.

No amount of feeding resources are needed for her; at most, she'll give her a bath in a spiritual spring.

"Let's go, Ayu, we still have many other stalls to visit. If we don't leave now, it will really get dark."

"it is good."

"Shouldn't we still be missing some local specialties from Fengming Kingdom that we haven't bought yet?"

"Yes, is Ali going straight to the Phoenix Cry Kingdom's stall area now?"

"No, let's go in order, one passage at a time, one stall at a time. We don't necessarily have to go for the local specialties. Maybe we'll come across something interesting. We're already here, so we should try to make the most of what we have."

As it turned out, Mo Li's gains were indeed quite good.

Not just her?

Dongfang Yu also purchased many rare ores that he needed, which he could only buy on the black market by expending a lot of effort.

at last

They wandered into the Phoenix Kingdom's stall area.

Mo Li went straight to the main stall this time. Every imperial stall area has such a stall. Previously, the war beasts, plant fossils, and iridescent butterflies they bought were all bought at such main stalls.

These main stalls are linked to their respective empires. It should be noted that items that are unique to an empire cannot be easily sold; they must be approved by the imperial family and the interstellar alliance.

Moreover, the quantity and types of goods sold are all regulated. Exceeding these limits is a violation of relevant regulations and will be severely punished.

They decided to temporarily refrain from purchasing local specialties from the Central Empire, which belonged to Mo Li and his group. That left only the Fengming Empire. Standing in front of the main stall, they glanced over and immediately saw the three products for sale: phoenix tree seeds, phoenix tree seedlings, and phoenix tree fruits.

The most popular fruit among everyone is naturally the sycamore fruit, which is known as the "fruit of opportunity" because eating it brings varying degrees of benefit to many people—it's incredibly magical.

He was once deemed to have no chance of developing superpowers in his lifetime due to a genetic defect and a mental strength level of F. He was abandoned by his family and was about to be exiled to a desolate planet. However, because of his mother's love for her son, she gave him a Wutong fruit.

As a result, he directly activated his fire-type ability and jumped to the third tier, thus avoiding exile.

Some people even experienced a two-level jump in their abilities after consuming the Wutong Fruit, and their powers mutated, increasing by more than double compared to before.

There was even a soldier whose mental sea was destroyed by the insectoids on the battlefield. After consuming the Wutong Fruit, his mental sea was directly repaired, even though his ability level dropped by one level.

But it also created a miracle.

There are many such miraculous effects. The production of the Wutong fruit is limited each year, and it is basically supplied to the Fengming Empire itself. Apart from being used for diplomacy with other imperial families and for the Interstellar Alliance, only fifty fruits are publicly auctioned each year.

These are limited to ten per day and were prepared for the main booth at the annual exchange meeting of the five great empires.

"Boss, how much is one of these paulownia fruits? How many are left unsold today?"
