Chapter 167: Silvermoon City Resource Point (2)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Sect Leader Su,” Li Wen, who had been attending to some matters, immediately bowed upon seeing Su Yang.

“Yes, I came to talk to you about something,” Su Yang replied with a nod. Even though it was unclear how long Li Wen had been cultivating and how many times his age exceeded Su Yang’s in this world of cultivation, in such a world, strength was respected, and those with greater strength were naturally addressed as seniors.

This term referred to those who were ahead in their cultivation journey. It didn’t necessarily rely on age to determine seniority. If age were the criteria, Su Yang would probably have to address many as seniors.

“Please go ahead,” Su Yang said.

“Do you have a map of the origin locations of star systems?” Su Yang asked.

“Yes, I have one, but it only covers a part of it and isn’t comprehensive,” Li Wen responded.

“Does the map record the resource points controlled by different races and the locations of evil spirit nests and the like?” Su Yang inquired, specifying what he needed.

“Of course, it does. I’ve recorded everything I know on the map,” Li Wen replied.

Listening to Su Yang’s questions, he had probably guessed what Su Yang was planning to do. He was preparing to attack these resource points controlled by other races.

Indeed, cities couldn’t be attacked, but attacking resource points should be acceptable, right? However, there was an issue; even if they were captured, they couldn’t be defended. With Su Yang alone, he could only defend one resource point at most, and its utility didn’t seem significant.

Nevertheless, Li Wen didn’t question Su Yang; he just needed to cooperate, and he understood this well.

Su Yang quickly obtained a map of the origin locations of star systems. It wasn’t very large, covering seventeen small cities and seven medium-sized cities. Among these, there were five small cities and one medium-sized city inhabited by humans. The rest were cities of other races. Although the map was not large, it provided comprehensive information about the surrounding areas.

[Black Earth Region – Black Serpent Plains (Partial Area)] Medium-sized cities: Seven – One inhabited by humans Small cities: Seventeen – Five inhabited by humans Dangerous areas: 103 Origin nodes: 3221 Stable resource points: 453

These were the total statistics on the map. Every resource point and city were clearly marked, along with their respective levels and danger ratings.

With the map in hand, Su Yang could continue with his next steps. Before proceeding, he discussed with Li Wen about resource blockade and the Starry Market construction.

Regarding resource blockade, Su Yang inquired whether humans could disguise themselves as other races to buy resources and thus evade the blockade. He also asked whether there were any other races willing to trade with humans at prices ten times or more than the normal rate.

Firstly, humans could disguise themselves, but every other race had detection methods. As long as your strength could bypass these detection methods, it was possible. Secondly, such trades did exist but were rare. They were conducted secretly and on a large scale. Small transactions were not made.

These covert traders were generally controlled by individuals who managed medium-sized human cities or above. These profiteering individuals needed to bear risks as well. Engaging in such transactions could lead to sieges if other races found out, so they usually didn’t engage in low-volume trades.

These sellers among other races kept their contacts very secretive, and only a few people knew about them. Introduction of new customers required personal recommendations and their own clandestine systems. They were in no hurry

to expand their customer base because trading with humans invariably earned them multiple times more than usual, and all they had to focus on was safety.

Su Yang had concerns about resource blockade. The universe was vast, and complete blockade wasn’t feasible, but this blockade made humans pay a higher price for the same resources.

Besides resource blockade, Su Yang also inquired with Li Wen about how the Starry Market was constructed. On this matter, Li Wen admitted he didn’t know; his level of influence had not reached that far.

“Sect Leader Su, I heard that you wanted to build a city in the origin locations of galaxy? Am I right?” Li Wen asked, with an undertone in his words.

“Yes, what’s the matter?” Su Yang inquired.

“Well, if you use galaxy cores to build a city, it might take some time. During this process, it could attract attacks from other races,” Li Wen explained. “They won’t let human cities be built that easily. Destruction is advantageous for them.”

“When galaxy cores are transformed into cities and get destroyed during the process, the galaxy core used for building the city will explode and disperse a large amount of origin energy in all directions. They can easily collect a vast amount of origin energy during this process,” Li Wen continued.

“Galaxy cores…even Core Formation stage cultivators of medium-sized cities would be tempted. If you’re the only one trying to defend a city in the process of transformation, it might be quite dangerous,” Li Wen revealed the information he knew.

Last time, when Su Yang took action, he demonstrated his Nascent Soul stage strength through the power of his spells. Li Wen judged Su Yang’s level based on the displayed power of his spell. He wasn’t sure about Su Yang’s specific realm, but based on Su Yang’s casual statement about wanting to build a city, it was very likely that he possessed more than just Nascent Soul stage power.

Obtaining a complete galaxy core, even for Core Formation stage cultivators, required a considerable amount of luck and time..
