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

"Hello, guest. Each Wutong Fruit costs 500 million interstellar coins, and we have five left for today."

The stall owner paused for a moment, then continued with some difficulty, "Furthermore, I regret to inform you that due to an urgent notice from above, we only have these five sycamore fruits available for sale at the market this year."

If you still want it, you'll have to go to the grand auction later. However, based on past auction prices, it's practically never sold for less than one billion.

Five hundred million interstellar coins—that must have scared off countless people.

Upon hearing the price, Mo Li instantly felt like she had been ripped off. She turned to Dongfang Yu and whispered, "..."

"Ah Yu, is buying the Wutong Fruit the only option? Aren't there any other relatively cost-effective ways to obtain it?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu extended his slender finger and pointed to two other items on the stall: "There are also paulownia seeds and paulownia seedlings."

Before Mo Li could react, the other people standing on either side of them who were interested in buying began to persuade her.

"My beautiful lady, I do not recommend that you buy sycamore seeds and seedlings, because you simply cannot get the seeds to germinate, and the seedlings are very fragile and difficult to raise."

The reason why Mo Li and Dongfang Yu have been wandering around for so long, given her fame throughout the intergalactic world, is that Mo Li has set up a mental barrier for herself and Dongfang Yu. Apart from Dongfang Yu, no one else can actually see her true face.

He would only think of her as a beautiful woman and him as a handsome and refined gentleman.

Having already gone shopping, she really didn't want to be disturbed.

In response to everyone's well-meaning advice, Mo Li smiled politely and said, "Thank you, I will think it over carefully."

Stall owner: "Sir, that's true. Away from our country's land and unique environment, it takes a lot of effort for the seeds of the parasol tree to germinate. If you want to keep the parasol tree seedlings alive, you have to be willing to spend resources."

How much does a seed cost? How much does a seedling cost?

"One seed costs 10,000 interstellar coins, and one seedling costs 100,000 interstellar coins."

Mo Li: "......"

Goodness, really goodness! You yourselves know it can't sprout and won't survive, yet you're still not being very generous with the price.

"I want two seeds."

Mo Li's actions surprised everyone present, and even Dongfang Yu's gentle face showed a slight change in expression.

Really?

This is a stark contrast to her previous extravagant purchasing style.

Dongfang Yu: "Ali, you can buy a few more if you like."

"No need, two are enough."

She already has her own personal space, and if she weren't worried that one wouldn't be enough, she would have bought one directly. As long as it can sprout, she can have many, many phoenix trees exclusive to the Phoenix Cry Empire.

She also believed that there would be a continuous supply of phoenix tree fruits, each worth 500 million, and that the ones she cultivated in her own space would have even more miraculous effects than those from Fengming Kingdom.

"Sir, are you sure you only want to buy two paulownia seeds? The effects of paulownia fruit are truly miraculous. Are you really not considering buying a couple more?"

"No need, two seeds are enough."

She herself was determined not to be taken advantage of.

After thinking for a moment, she looked up at the stall owner and asked, "Can I choose the seeds myself?"

In the stall owner's eyes, all the sycamore seeds he was selling were the same, so he smiled and said, "Please choose whichever you like."

Mo Li released a wisp of his spiritual power, scanned all the seeds placed outside, and finally selected the two of the best quality.

Ensure that the buds will germinate 100% once placed in the space.

"I'll take these two."

Seeing Mo Li make a purchase, the others were also tempted.

"Why don't we buy a seed and try planting it at home? Maybe we'll get lucky and it will actually sprout. If it grows into a seedling, we can make a profit by auctioning it off."

"What should I do? I'm also a little tempted. I don't want to grow it into a seedling to sell. I want to grow it into a sycamore tree, preferably one that can flower and bear fruit. I'm not greedy at all."

Every year, as long as two fruits grow on a tree, one can be kept for personal enjoyment, and the other auctioned off. Then you can just relax and do nothing, hahaha…”

Upon hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but twitch her lips. If it weren't for the fact that they were complete strangers, she would have given the other person a thumbs up and said, "Haha, you really are someone who dares to think big."

They really dare to dream big. Don't be fooled by what they say; they know perfectly well that buying it would be like throwing away 10,000 interstellar coins without even a ripple.

germination?

It's simply impossible. People from other empires have bought them before, and even the botanical research institutes of the major empires have purchased countless specimens, but very few have sprouted. After that, it seems that no one has ever succeeded in cultivating seedlings.

This has led to the phoenix tree fruit of the Phoenix Cry Empire becoming extremely rare, a treasure sought after by many.

Don't assume this stall only has five fruits left. In fact, judging from the stall owner's expression, he's not worried about selling them at all. Once people know there are sycamore fruits here, I believe many people will rush over.

You know, 500 million for one coin is half the auction price. Who wouldn't take advantage of such a great deal?

I won't buy from strangers.

Since she can grow it herself, she naturally feels that spending 500 million to buy a single sycamore fruit is a huge waste.

"Boss, do you still have any sycamore fruits left at your stall?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Mo Li's ears. Following the sound, she saw Bei Gong Xun'er's figure appear before her. Surrounded by handsome men, accompanied by robot nannies and bodyguards... the entourage was simply too grand. She couldn't help but think to herself:

"As expected of someone who calls herself the chosen heroine, she really needs to make a grand entrance when she goes out."

Seeing her grand entrance, everyone instinctively made way for her. Anyone with such an impressive presence was clearly no ordinary person.

The stall owner smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there are five left. These are the only five left at this Five Great Empires Exchange Fair."

"Looks like I came at the right time. Okay, I'll take all five."

"it is good."

Before the stall owner could finish speaking, another voice suddenly rang out:

"Miss Xun'er, even if you're eating meat, you should at least leave me some soup. You know, we came all this way specifically for these phoenix tree fruits. How about this, could you leave me one?"

"Hmph, haven't you heard of first come, first served? Besides, who gave you the audacity to snatch the things I value from me? You want the Wutong Fruit? Fine, there's always an auction. If you have enough interstellar coins, go and bid for it."

She immediately instructed the stall owner, "My time is precious. Since you've already bought them all, please pack them up for me, otherwise..."
