Chapter 1139: Long Er
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ou Yangming came out of the room and found Elder Long Shao.
He was a guest of the Dragons, so Long Shao naturally told him everything.
Long Shao not only told Ou Yangming where to buy good materials but also personally sent him through the Teleportation Formation.
Before leaving, Long Shao even gave his token to Ou Yangming.
The Dragons had the privileges as nobles in the nearby planets. With the token, Ou Yangming could avoid a lot of trouble.
“Is that the Hidden Dragons Island?”
A light flashed, and Ou Yangming looked at the huge island hanging in the void. This place was the Hidden Dragons Island mentioned by Elder Long Shao. It was also the most lively planet in the nearby star systems..
“Sir.”
Ou Yangming had just come out when a few burly men dressed in sturdy clothes greeted him respectfully.
These burly men were half-drakonids. They had a certain amount of the Dragons’ bloodline. Their strengths were decent, and they were all Venerable Ones. It was also because of this that they were qualified to guard such an important place like the Teleportation Formation.
They might be half-drakonids, but they had some bloodline of the Dragons. Their status on the Hidden Dragons Island was still very high. They did not regard ordinary people as anything.
In the Great Wide World, there were very few people from the Dragons and the Phoenixes. As compared to the many living creatures, the members from the 2 races were almost negligible. Therefore, those races that were related to these 2 races also had a higher status than the other races.
Nonetheless, the half-drakonids did not dare to be disrespectful toward Ou Yangming because on the other side of the Teleportation Formation was the 10,000 Dragons Valley. That place was full of pure dragons, and even they were not qualified to enter that place. Although this young fellow was a human, since he came from that valley, the half-drakonids did not dare to be careless.
Ou Yangming did not understand all of that, and he just thought that these men were polite to everyone. He took a step forward and asked, “I want to buy some refining materials. Do you know where I can buy some?”
Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, the half-drakonids knew this was his first time here. The strongest half-drakonid walked out.
He was nearly 3 meters tall, and he was much taller than Ou Yangming.
In front of Ou Yangming, this half-drakonid was very honest as he said, “Sir, the Hidden Dragons Island is most famous for its refining resources. If you want to buy materials, there are many shops here, but the most famous one is the 10,000 Treasures Pavilion. That said, the prices of the materials there are very high. If you have good eyesight, you can go to the East City Square instead. There’s a market over there where you can trade freely. If you’re lucky, you can even meet a blacksmith master.”
After hearing what he said, Ou Yangming smiled slightly. Before coming to the Great Wide World, was he not addressed as Master Ou?
He said without thinking, “I’ll go to the East City Square then.”
In the Great Wide World, other than the headquarters of the Dragons and the Phoenixes, Ou Yangming had never been to any other place. He did not understand the rules here, and buying things required money. He even knew a little about the currency of the Great Wide World. He could not go to the shops and barter with them, right?
“Okay, sir, I’ll take you there,” the half-drakonid’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly responded.
This enthusiasm surprised Ou Yangming. He thought that it was good enough for the half-drakonid to guide him, but he did not expect that he would take him there.
‘Are all the creatures of the Great Wide World so polite?’
“Thank you.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands. He really did not know much about this place so having a guide would be the best.
Ou Yangming did not think of letting the half-drakonid help him for free. When the time came, he would reward him.
“Sir, you’re welcome. This is what we should do,” the half-drakonic said excitedly. He turned around and gave a few instructions. Subsequently, under the envious gazes of the other half-drakonids, he and Ou Yangming walked into the distance.
There were very few people who came out of the 10,000 Dragons Valley, to begin with. There were even fewer people who came here for the first time. If the half-drakonids could build a relationship with such people, they would be able to benefit endlessly.
The streets were bustling. There were places selling all kinds of materials everywhere. Both sides of the streets were filled with dazzling displays of ores.
There were many customers in the shops. Only after the half-drakonid explained to him did Ou Yangming realize that the creatures from the nearby star areas would basically come here to buy refining materials.
In this place, there were only materials that one could not imagine or afford. There was nothing that one could not find.
Of course, this was a little exaggerated, but it also reflected the prosperity and professionalism of the Hidden Dragons Island.
Ou Yangming also found out about the name of the half-drakonid, which was Long Er. This name was very simple, and it was simply because he was ranked second in his family.
Long Er also had 2 brothers, which were Long Da and Long San.
Seeing Long Er being so polite, Ou Yangming voiced out many of his doubts. Although Long Er felt a little strange, he answered them one by one.
Time passed quickly while they were chatting.
There was a large grassland in front of them, and people were boisterous. This was the East City Square that Long Er had mentioned before this. After sending Ou Yangming here, Long Er took his leave.
“Sir, I’ll leave first. I still need to look after the Teleportation Formation.”
Ou Yangming stopped him, took out an arm guard from the Long Feather Band, then he threw it over. “Thank you for your help today. This is for you.”
“You’re welcome, sir. This is my du...” Before Long Er could finish his sentence, his eyes were attracted to the arm guard in his hand.
“This is a Good Grade magic weapon!”
Long Er’s voice was slightly trembling.
He had lived on the Hidden Dragons Island for so many years, so he naturally understood how precious such a treasure was. Even with his military salary, he could not afford one in 200 years.
Guarding the Teleportation Formation was a very lucrative job, and he was the captain of it. Even so, after so many years of accumulation, he only had 2 Common Grade magic weapons.
Long Er would not refuse other tips, but this was really too precious.
Holding the arm guard in his hand, Long Er felt that it was a little hot.
Ou Yangming smiled. “Take it. You deserve it.”
After saying that, Ou Yangming turned around and walked toward the venue. Long Er was stunned for a moment. He looked at the young fellow’s back as he left, then he looked at the armguard in his hand. His face revealed an ecstatic expression.
He did not know that the Good Grade magic weapon, which he regarded as incomparably precious, was just an ordinary item to Ou Yangming.
There were many people in the East City Square, and most of the people who came here had extraordinary strengths. Most of them were Venerable Ones, and their levels were much higher than that of the people on the streets.
Those who were selling things sat on the ground casually and put the things they wanted to sell in front of them, waiting for customers to come. There were also people shouting to sell.
Ou Yangming looked at the refining materials on the ground. Many of the materials were very good and even better than the materials he used to refine the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer. Nevertheless, he was still not very satisfied. Since he came to this place full of refining materials, he also wanted to strive for perfection.
After walking for a while, Ou Yangming saw a decent ore. He walked over and asked, “How much is this ore?”
“3,000 high-grade spirit coins.”
The seller slightly raised his eyelid and lost interest when he saw that it was a young fellow. In his opinion, the young fellow could not afford it.
‘So expensive.’
Ou Yangming secretly exclaimed. Spirit coins were the common currency of the Great Wide World and were very valuable. They were divided into 3 grades, which were high, middle, and low. The exchange rate between different grades was 1 to 10. In other words, 3,000 high-grade spirit coins were equivalent to 300,000 low-grade spirit coins. Long Er’s annual salary was only 10,000 low-grade spirit coins.
“This is the lowest price. If you can’t afford it, go somewhere else to look,” the stall owner said unhappily. Talking to this young fellow was purely a waste of time.
Ou Yangming smiled slightly and got up to leave.
Not to mention 3,000 high-grade spirit coins, he did not even have 3. Despite that, he was not worried. He had a lot of magic weapons. If he sold a few items at random, he would be able to get the money.
Having said that, before setting up a stall to sell things, he still needed to inquire about the prices. Only after knowing the specific prices would he not be cheated.
Ou Yangming once again walked in front of each stall. Most of the items sold here were materials. Magic weapons were very rare. Even if he encountered any, most of them were only of the Common Grade. Good Grade magic weapons were very rare. As for High Grade magic weapons, the young fellow saw 2 of them, but he did not find any Fine Grade ones.
Magic weapons were very expensive and were more than 10 times the price of materials. A small Common Grade Rank One magic weapon would cost at least 1,000 high-grade spirit coins.
Ou Yangming also asked a stall owner why he did not sell magic weapons after refining them using the materials he had if magic weapons were so valuable.
This question was even ridiculed by the stall owner. Only then did Ou Yangming understand that in the territories of the Dragons of the Great Wide World, blacksmiths were very rare.
Not everyone could hire a great blacksmith. Even if one was hired, after paying the blacksmith, who would normally have a low success rate, the stall owners would not be able to earn much.
The Dragons were different from the Phoenixes. They did not have unique conditions like the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, so they were very backward in refining tools and pills here.
After walking around for 2 hours, Ou Yangming basically understood what he should know and roughly figured out the prices.
,000 high-grade spirit coins seemed like a lot but in fact, it was just the price of a magic weapon above Common Grade Rank Three. Ou Yangming had a lot of such magic weapons on him.
Just as Ou Yangming was about to find a place to sell a few magic weapons, he saw a group of people gathered in the distance. In the middle of the crowd was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes. He stood in the middle like a moon being surrounded by stars, and more people gathered around him.
Out of curiosity, Ou Yangming also walked over quickly.
After squeezing into the crowd, Ou Yangming discovered that the triangular-eyed man was refining a piece of equipment. The flames in his hand were surging, and a model of a treasure sword had gradually appeared.
The triangular-eyed man looked very skilled, and his movements were smooth. To the outsiders, he looked like a master but to Ou Yangming, such an exaggerated refining method was purely for show. Furthermore, the young fellow discovered that when the man was refining, there were many mistakes that should not have occurred.
“Woosh, woosh.”
The flames surged. After about 15 minutes, a dark brown sword appeared in front of everyone. The triangular-eyed man looked somewhat proud.
“Good start! I succeeded on my first try today.”
The man excitedly flicked the sword.
