Walking on the streets, Qin Hao constantly entered and exited various shops, searching for rare items that might be useful to him.
However, after passing through a dozen streets, Qin Hao was quite disappointed with his gains.
There was almost nothing unique in any of the shops on the streets.
Most of them were novelties brought by outsiders like Qin Hao.
The items that the indigenous Human Race and Monster Race could provide leaned more towards resources, and truly special local items were extremely rare.
Although disheartened, Qin Hao did not leave immediately.
Coming here was originally a process of prospecting for gold.
If he found something, he found it; if not, he would just treat it as a leisurely outing.
“Divine Crystals, large quantities of Divine Crystals, come buy them quickly!”
Entering another street, shouts reached Qin Hao’s ears.
A roadside vendor was holding a Divine Crystal and continuously shouting.
However, no one paid any attention; they didn't even glance at the Divine Crystals.
Seeing this situation, Qin Hao was very curious.
Divine Crystals could be said to be very rare on Viska Star; even among Undying families, there were only small quantities.
Now, they were actually being sold like this, and no one even bothered to look.
“How are Divine Crystals sold?” Qin Hao went forward, picked up a Divine Crystal, examined it, and asked.
“At a glance, brother, you’re a man who knows his stuff.
Divine Crystals are hard to come by, so the price naturally won’t be cheap,” the thin vendor said with a smile, his eyes constantly darting around.
Qin Hao looked at the vendor’s expression and knew the trick behind it.
Although he didn’t fully understand the situation in the Ancestral God Tomb, he could tell from the attitudes of others that these Divine Crystals didn’t have much value in the Ancestral God Tomb, otherwise no one would ignore them.
Qin Hao held the Divine Crystal in his hand and didn’t answer directly.
Although he was somewhat curious about Divine Crystals, Qin Hao didn’t make a move immediately.
He had obtained Divine Crystals outside the Ancestral God Tomb before, and had used them to enter the Ancestral God Tomb.
When he was outside, Qin Hao had also carefully observed the Divine Crystals.
However, he hadn't discovered anything else; they contained the power of Time Law and Space Law, which he couldn't manipulate at all.
It was only when he entered the Ancestral God Tomb's trial that he saw the Divine Crystals being converted into energy to start the Ancestral God Tomb's trial process.
Now, holding the Divine Crystal again and feeling the power contained within it, Qin Hao mobilized his spiritual power to probe into the Divine Crystal.
This time, the power seemed less stable than outside, and he could already manipulate a trace of its power.
Feeling the change, Qin Hao calmly put down the Divine Crystal and didn't choose to buy it directly.
“Brother, why did you put it down?
Divine Crystals are hard to come by; they are invaluable treasures that even the Undying want to collect,” the vendor continued, his tone showing some urgency.
“Since even the Undying want to collect them, why don’t you offer them to an Undying to gain some resources?” Qin Hao asked.
Although the Ancestral God Tomb was vast, conditions were not good, and resources were very limited.
More resources depended on new trial-takers entering from the outside.
“It’s just that I don’t have the connections,” the vendor continued to say sheepishly, his tone already lacking much confidence.
“Is it that you don’t have the connections, or that no one wants them?” Qin Hao said directly, without mincing words.
From the vendor’s and others’ reactions, Qin Hao knew that Divine Crystals had no use in the Ancestral God Tomb, and few people even paid attention to them.
Few people even bothered to collect them.
The vendor in front of him just wanted to trick newcomers like Qin Hao.
After all, newcomers had just arrived, and a large part of their impression of Divine Crystals was still based on their extreme rarity outside.
However, this business was also difficult to do, as this was the Second Layer, and there were quite a few people from the First Layer who had some understanding of Divine Crystals.
The good thing was that the First Layer was relatively chaotic, mostly World Lords and Domain Lords, so information was still relatively scarce.
“How many do you have? And what’s the price?” Just as the vendor felt disappointed and thought he wouldn’t gain anything, Qin Hao asked directly.
Upon hearing Qin Hao’s words, the vendor instantly perked up, his gaze towards Qin Hao changed, and a smile couldn't be suppressed at the corner of his mouth.
“Don’t try to overcharge.
Everyone knows the situation of Divine Crystals in the Ancestral God Tomb.
I just want to collect some to study and see if there are any new discoveries.
Moreover, I don’t have many resources on hand; I need to save some for survival,” Qin Hao said straightforwardly.
“I’ll give you one chance to quote a price.
I’ll take all your Divine Crystals.
If your quote is too high, then I’m sorry, there won’t be a second chance to quote,” Qin Hao continued, his tone very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Qin Hao’s firmness made the vendor hesitate.
He looked at Qin Hao, unsure how to quote.
Quoting too low would be unwilling, as they were hard-earned collected items.
Quoting too high might lose this customer.
“Ten thousand pieces, ten thousand points, or twelve thousand mixed-origin units.
If you pay directly with World Crystals, it only costs nine thousand mixed-origin units,” the vendor finally decided and said.
Although each Divine Crystal was worth a lot of money outside, it had no use in the Ancestral God Tomb and couldn't even be taken out of it.
Now, the only way was to deal with them here and exchange them for some resources.
Upon hearing the vendor’s words, Qin Hao also knew that this person was from an outside Human Race force.
However, even so, Qin Hao was not prepared to give any special consideration.
He chose to pay directly in mixed-origin units.
Among the three payment methods, points were exchanged internally within their respective forces, and he still needed a large amount of energy for World Crystals, so he wasn’t prepared to use them.
Mixed-origin units transferred through the bank could be anonymous, which wouldn't leave too many future troubles for himself.
“Twelve thousand mixed-origin units.
Give me your account number, and I’ll transfer it immediately,” Qin Hao told the vendor.
After getting the account number, he directly transferred twelve thousand mixed-origin units, obtained ten thousand Divine Crystals, and Qin Hao left directly.
“I didn’t expect someone would actually want your Divine Crystals.
You made quite a profit,” the vendor next to him said to the thin vendor after Qin Hao left.
“What profit? It’s all hard-earned money, but I didn’t expect anyone to still want Divine Crystals,” the thin vendor said.
“He’s probably a newcomer.
These Divine Crystals can’t be taken out of the Ancestral God Tomb, and they can’t be used inside the Ancestral God Tomb.
I really don’t know why the Ancestral God Tomb produces so many Divine Crystals when their quantity is so small outside.”
“Exactly.
They’re too useless.
To think we spent so much effort collecting Divine Crystals outside to enter the Ancestral God Tomb, only to find them so common inside.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.
Come on, I’ll treat you to a drink.
Twelve thousand mixed-origin units is enough to live lavishly for a while.” Saying this, the two packed up their stalls and left.
