Exchange List

“An opportunity to exchange for treasures?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. Inspector Liu had already hinted at this.

Inside the dimly lit room, the black-haired man waved his hand. Beyond the original twelve 3D holographic projections of plant-type spirits, an even larger 3D holographic projection appeared, categorized into ‘secret techniques’, ‘intelligent fighter jets’, ‘battle suits’, ‘weapons’, ‘elixirs’, and many other types.

Each category displayed numerous tangible projections. The sheer variety of treasures was dazzling.

“This exchange list offers 62 types of treasures for you to redeem,” the black-haired man stated.

“Elixirs.” Luo Feng ignored everything else, focusing intently on the elixir category. A quick scan revealed over a dozen types, each with astonishing effects. “No Water of Life?”

What Luo Feng cared about most was the Water of Life, the one that could help his brother walk again.

“Water of Life?”

Hearing this, the black-haired man, Hong, glanced at Luo Feng in surprise, shaking his head. “Luo Feng, every item on this exchange list would fetch an astronomical price in human society. Many are genuine treasures that powerful nations and organizations can’t acquire, even with money. The Water of Life doesn’t even qualify to be on this list.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

The Water of Life wasn’t qualified to be listed?

“You need the Water of Life for your brother to walk again?” The black-haired man pointed towards the twelve holographic projections of plant-type spirits. “Among the twelve plant-type spirits you acquired, the Hundred Dew Grass—haven’t you seen its medicinal effects? Chewing and consuming it can heal any injury, and naturally, it can help your brother stand again.”

Luo Feng immediately scrutinized it—

Hundred Dew Grass: Effective against any poison, heals any physical injury upon chewing and consumption...

“Hmm.” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed.

“Are you planning to use this Hundred Dew Grass for your brother?” the black-haired man asked, surprised.

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Haha...” The black-haired man laughed, a sound he hadn’t made in a long time. “Luo Feng, the Hundred Dew Grass is worth ten times that of the Water of Life! If you offered the Hundred Dew Grass to the American government in exchange for the Water of Life, they’d probably give you ten portions of Water of Life!”

“You’d use Hundred Dew Grass just for your brother to regain the use of his legs and stand again? That’s an incredible waste of its medicinal power,” the black-haired man shook his head repeatedly.

Hundred Dew Grass, what an incredibly precious herb.

Good steel must be used on the blade; Hundred Dew Grass shouldn’t be squandered so casually.

“In another month or two, the American government will hold an auction for the Water of Life. You can participate and buy it then,” the black-haired man instructed. “Don’t waste your plant-type spirits like this.”

Luo Feng blinked twice.

Hundred Dew Grass... worth ten times the Water of Life?

“Look closely,” the black-haired man waved his hand.

*Beep!*

Next to the twelve floating plant-type spirit projections in the 3D holographic display, prices immediately appeared: ‘2 Star Points’, ‘2.5 Star Points’, ‘3 Star Points’... Each plant-type spirit had a price, with the lowest being ‘1.5 Star Points’ and the highest ‘5 Star Points’.

The total accumulated value was 36.5 Star Points.

“This is...” Luo Feng was a little bewildered.

“This is the value of the plant-type spirits you acquired,” the black-haired man said calmly. “In this world, many treasures simply cannot be measured by money. No one would be foolish enough to sell rare artifacts for Huaxia currency or US dollars. That would be idiotic! Exchanges are always item for item.”

Luo Feng nodded. Indeed, most of the items on the exchange list Hong had given him were things he’d never heard of being sold anywhere.

Which meant...

Even with money, there was nowhere to buy them! For instance, the Black God Set—he’d never heard of it being available for purchase.

“‘Star Points’ is a unit I arbitrarily set,” the black-haired man said.

Luo Feng nodded.

“Their value is priced according to my assessment.”

“Look again.” The black-haired man pointed to the virtual projection exchange list beside them. Instantly, prices appeared next to each item on the massive holographic display: ‘1 Star Point’, ‘1.5 Star Points’, ‘3 Star Points’, ‘2 Star Points’... The prices varied, but most hovered around 2 Star Points.

The black-haired man looked at Luo Feng with a hint of a mysterious smile. “You have 36.5 Star Points worth of plant-type spirits. You can exchange them for any item here, as long as the total price doesn’t exceed 36.5 Star Points.”

The black-haired man then fell silent, allowing Luo Feng to observe and ponder carefully.

On the exchange list, Luo Feng immediately spotted the intelligent fighter jets.

King-tier intelligent fighter jet: 2 Star Points

Qiankun-tier intelligent fighter jet: 15 Star Points

Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet: 60 Star Points

“The Primordial-tier is so expensive.” Luo Feng had always thought his current reward made him quite wealthy, but seeing the ‘Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet’, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath. *Good heavens, that price is unbelievable!* No wonder Hong was the only one in the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo with a Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet.

“Look at the battle suits.”

Luo Feng stopped looking at other categories and focused on the battle suit section... The best among them was the Black God Set!

Black God Set — 5 Star Points.

“This Black God Set is quite expensive,” Luo Feng thought to himself, but it was still within his acceptable range.

“Dojo Master, I’ll take this Black God Set,” Luo Feng said, looking at the black-haired man.

The black-haired man looked at Luo Feng and said, “The Black God Set is very special!”

“Globally, Black God Sets have always been rare. Only those who successfully enter ancient civilization ruins can obtain one! And each person only gets one chance to enter, so even I can’t acquire more Black God Sets. This makes them incredibly scarce worldwide.”

“Luo Feng, our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo has a rule... anyone who receives a Black God Set as a direct reward must, when the time comes, enter ancient civilization ruins, acquire another Black God Set, and sell it to our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo,” Hong, the black-haired man, stated.

Luo Feng understood.

Since a person only had one chance to obtain a Black God Set, if the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo gave one as a reward, their inventory would decrease. Naturally, they would need to acquire another to replenish it. This was how they maintained a sustainable supply.

“If you want to buy this Black God Set, I’ll give you two options.”

“First, spend 5 Star Points to buy the Black God Set. Your obligation will be to enter ancient civilization ruins in the future, acquire another Black God Set, and sell it to our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. We will not undervalue it.”

“Second, you can receive the Black God Set for free now. In the future, when you enter ancient civilization ruins and acquire another Black God Set, you will give it to our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo for free.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

“I choose the second option,” Luo Feng said without hesitation.

Getting it for free now and replenishing the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo later was like an interest-free loan; only a fool wouldn’t choose it.

“Haha, you’re a sly one,” the black-haired man smiled. “Luo Feng, you’re a talent, and our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo has never been stingy with rewards for talent... However, you’ve already gained a lot this time, so I haven’t given you many additional rewards. This second option for the Black God Set is just a small bonus.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Getting a Black God Set for free, even if he had to repay it later, meant he could exchange for more treasures now.

“Dojo Master, there are so many dazzling treasures. I hope you can guide me on which ones I should acquire,” Luo Feng quickly said. How could his judgment compare to the Dojo Master’s, who was clearly very knowledgeable about these treasures?

“Haha...”

Hong, the black-haired man, couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. His generosity towards Luo Feng, besides Luo Feng’s own talent, was also due to the Moyun Vine. Acquiring the Moyun Vine... was far more precious to Hong than any Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet! It was this inner joy that made Hong speak so much to Luo Feng.

“Very well,” the black-haired man said, looking at the exchange list. “Among the secret techniques, some are ultimate moves that only beings beyond Wargods can master. Buying them now would be useless for you. I advise you to first acquire the ‘Psychic Master Fundamentals’, valued at 3 Star Points.”

“I’ll buy it,” Luo Feng nodded.

Luo Feng had initially been quite surprised to see ‘Psychic Master Fundamentals’ priced at 3 Star Points. Why was it so expensive? After all, a single portion of Dragon Blood on the exchange list was only 1 Star Point.

“As for elixirs, you don’t need to buy any now. Your body has already consumed Dragon Blood and Millennium Willow Heart consecutively, and a large amount of their medicinal effects are still latent within you. You only need to cultivate, and your strength will rapidly increase!” Hong, the black-haired man, continued. “Regarding other treasures, only one is perfectly suited for you. For the rest... you can choose freely.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Besides the Black God Set and ‘Psychic Master Fundamentals’ he had already acquired, according to Hong, there was still one more item perfectly suited for him.

“Which one?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“If you pick it, consider yourself lucky. If not, then so be it,” Hong, the black-haired man, offered no further hints.

Luo Feng stared blankly at the exchange list, wondering which one would be most suitable for him.

A treasure suited for him?

A treasure?

Something Hong was so reluctant to reveal, even unwilling to give too many hints about, must be extremely valuable!

“Yes, it must be very valuable.” Luo Feng immediately scrutinized the list, not the items themselves, but their prices... The most expensive item on the entire exchange list was the ‘Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet’, priced at 60 Star Points. Next were the secret techniques, ultimate moves that only beings beyond Wargods could master—‘Phoenix Soaring Strike’, priced at 36 Star Points.

The third most expensive item was a weapon called ‘Sky-Shuttle’, priced at 30 Star Points.

The fourth was also an ultimate move, named ‘Flash of Lightning’, priced at 25 Star Points.

...

“As the Dojo Master said, those ultimate moves are useless for me to buy now. And from what Inspector Liu and the Ice Mountain Guard discussed, ultimate moves also depend on an individual’s primal energy characteristics.”

“I can’t afford the top-ranked Primordial-tier intelligent fighter jet.”

“So, this Sky-Shuttle?”

Luo Feng carefully read the Sky-Shuttle’s description. The description was sparse, just a simple introduction—

Sky-Shuttle: A weapon suitable for Psychic Masters to control, relatively energy-efficient in terms of psychic energy.

It was important to note that among the weapon category, since it was for Luo Feng’s exchange, most of the weapons Hong provided were suitable for Psychic Masters. Their descriptions were all brief; without looking at the price, one wouldn’t notice anything special about the Sky-Shuttle.

“So expensive, 30 Star Points!”

Luo Feng was a little reluctant. All twelve plant-type spirits combined were only 36.5 Star Points, and a single Sky-Shuttle cost 30 Star Points.

“Dojo Master,” Luo Feng gritted his teeth, looking at the black-haired man, Hong. “I’ll buy the Sky-Shuttle.”

Hong, the black-haired man, showed a hint of surprise. “You actually picked it. Tell me, how did you choose it?”

“The Dojo Master was so reluctant to tell me, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary treasure, so its price must be high. That’s why I looked at the prices from highest to lowest, item by item...” As Luo Feng spoke, Hong, the black-haired man beside him, couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems I was being stingy. You and this Sky-Shuttle truly have a connection. The true value of this Sky-Shuttle is far more than 30 Star Points. Its power will become even more apparent when you one day become a being beyond a Wargod! However, even now, it’s the best weapon for you.”

Hong had also been moved to add the Sky-Shuttle to the exchange list because he had acquired the Moyun Vine.

Otherwise...

Why would he have added the Sky-Shuttle? And considering Luo Feng’s plant-type spirits only totaled 36.5 Star Points, he had priced the Sky-Shuttle at 30 Star Points.
