Su Yuan had been keeping a close watch on the operations of the Seven Stars Market.
This time, he had invited over a hundred Cultivators of the Mahayana Realm; the number wasn't large, which could be considered a trial run.
Overall, it was going quite well.
Su Yuan checked his System panel. His reputation level in the Netherworld had increased, so he had just taken a look at the System panel.
[Name]: Su Yuan

[Region]: Demon Origin Realm [Rank]: lv2: Slightly Famous (241 / 1000)
[Region]: Nether Origin Realm [Rank]: lv3: Rising Fame (1200 / 1w)
[Realm]: Human Immortal Early Stage (5 / 100)
[Entry 1]: Labor and Rest Combination lv8 (185w / 1000w): Accumulated rest time: 20 days (Can be alienated)

[Entry 5]: Great Power Posture lv5 (9510 / 1w)

[Entry 7]: World Traveler lv4 (500 / 1000)
[Entry 8]: Time Corridor lv3 (15 / 100)
[Entry 9]: Red Dust Heart Refining lv3 (15 / 100)
Su Yuan was surprised to find that at the end of the first Entry, [Labor and Rest Combination], it was no longer an Opportunity to modify the Entry, but an option to [Can be alienated].
Meanwhile, the second Entry, [Dao Follows Nature], had gained an additional Opportunity to be modified.
He first modified the second Entry.
[Dao Follows Nature]: You are very skilled at comprehending nature. It is easier for you to comprehend the Great Dao from the mysteries of heaven and earth, Daoist classics, and combat.
He added the word "combat" to further expand the scope of comprehension for Dao Follows Nature.
At the same time, he set his sights on the first Entry.
When his mind clicked on "Can be alienated," a prompt finally appeared on the panel.
[While retaining the original effect of the Entry, alienate one additional effect.]
Su Yuan looked over with curiosity.
[Labor and Rest Combination]: You are very good at combining labor and rest. The longer you rest or Cultivate, the better the cultivation effect. Accumulated rest time: 5 years!
[Alienation 1]: Laziness is an original sin; the longer the rest time, the more Karma you will accumulate.
[Alienation 2]: Plundering is an art. Is your rest time very long? Hand it over! Upon killing, you can plunder the lifetime accumulated rest time of suitable targets.
[Alienation 3]: Cultivation maniac possessed; rest time is infinitely reset to zero, and cultivation effects are permanently increased by a hundredfold.
Su Yuan twitched his mouth. This so-called alienation was a bit outrageous. The first alienation almost made him lose his composure; Karma is something that brings bad luck to anyone who touches it.
Only a fool would choose the first one!
But Su Yuan thought again: if it were a Cultivator of the Karma System, this first alienation Entry could be said to be invincible!
Unfortunately, he was not a practitioner of that path.
The third alienation could permanently increase cultivation effects by a hundredfold, which was also excellent, but what did "rest time infinitely reset to zero" mean? Did it mean he couldn't rest in the future?
And the second alienation was even more interesting!
His rest time could only be accumulated slowly by himself, but now that he was cultivating on his own, he could also stack cultivation effects, making the difficulty of accumulating rest time quite high!
And now, this second alienation option could perfectly solve this difficult problem.
Practitioners are also people; they definitely need to rest, especially some slackers who have accumulated an absurd amount of rest time. If these rest times were given to him, wouldn't he take off?
Thinking of this, he immediately chose Alienation 2!
On the System panel, the [Labor and Rest Combination] Entry flashed with a golden light, and then that was it.
The description of the Entry did not show any other changes; it remained the same as before.
He was very curious: what exactly was the effect of the Entry?
He casually went to a mountain forest and swung his sword at a wild boar.
The wild boar died on the spot.
[Ding, rest time + 0.0001 seconds]
After a brief silence, he took a step and instantly appeared in another place, swinging his sword to kill a seventh-Rank Demonic Beast.
[Ding, rest time + 5 minutes]
"It's impossible that these guys only rest for five minutes in their entire lives, right?"
However, Su Yuan had already guessed that this so-called "suitable target" should refer to living beings with a Realm higher than or equal to his own. Killing those with a lower Realm would cause the obtained rest time to shrink significantly.
"This is just shrinking; if I were to slaughter countless living beings in a world, the accumulated rest time would definitely be massive!"
A strange light flashed in Su Yuan's eyes. As expected of "alienation," this was simply tempting people to go in a sinister direction!
Option one is "Sinner," option two is "Killing Sin," and option three is "Berserk!"
No matter which one it is, they all have some bad characteristics.
However, Su Yuan's state of mind had the blessing of the ninth Entry, and now his state of mind was completely up to standard, so he would not be swayed by this at all.
Su Yuan believed that the ninth Entry, [Red Dust Heart Refining], was the most bug-level Entry. An unremarkable Entry, yet it was the true king.
Suddenly, Su Yuan's gaze narrowed; his attention was drawn by the actions of a Mahayana Realm Cultivator.
His consciousness crossed countless worlds and arrived at a special world.
Zheng Jicheng was a Mahayana Realm Cultivator and a super powerhouse of the Cloud Heaven Realm. On the surface, he was a native, but in reality, he was a member of a Boundary Sea bandit group.
The Boundary Sea refers to the place composed of Space Turbulence, the Spirit Realm, and the Mortal Realm.
In the seemingly empty Space Turbulence, many cross-boundary organizations survive. These organizations are actually not too high-end; the truly powerful organizations are those mixing in the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm. Those mixing in the Space Turbulence can only be said to be better than nothing, but worse than the best.
Zheng Jicheng accidentally obtained the qualification to go to the Seven Stars Market, which made him covet the Seven Stars Market.
His discernment was much stronger than that of the natives of ordinary worlds. He could see that the so-called market master was actually only at the Early Stage of Human Immortal, and he had wandered around several times without finding any powerful people; there wasn't even an Earth Immortal.
Among the people invited, there were also Mahayana Realm and even Tribulation Realm Cultivators; it looked like they were taking the low-end route.
In that so-called Seven Stars Tower, there were only a few simple types of immortal Materials; any place above the second floor was definitely empty! It was all used to bluff people!
He had already investigated this through special means.
Therefore, Zheng Jicheng could be sure that this was actually an extremely ordinary small cross-boundary force.
However, no matter how small the force was, the Immortal Boat itself was a rare item. Immortal Boats that could stay in the Space Turbulence for a long time were at least Medium Grade Immortal Artifacts or higher. The value of each one was extremely good!
So Zheng Jicheng immediately contacted his leader.
He kept the Seven Stars Card in his Immortal Cave, while he himself went to a teleportation array alone.
Soon, his figure disappeared completely.
When he appeared again, he had arrived at a brand new world.
He had actually used a cross-boundary teleportation array!
"Oh, little Zheng?"
On a small natural Void Island, three Immortal Boats of different sizes were docked.
Members of the Holy Hall Boundary Bandit Group were stationed here.
An Earth Immortal Elder was guarding the teleportation array. Seeing Zheng Jicheng, he immediately asked with a smile: "Did you not go back to your world to Cultivate? Have you already broken through?"
Zheng Jicheng shook his head and said: "No, Elder Tu, I encountered an important matter and need to report it to the leader!"
"Oh?"
"What matter requires asking the leader?"
Zheng Jicheng said straightforwardly: "I discovered a small cross-boundary force. It seems they have just entered the Boundary Sea not long ago. They have an Immortal Boat of very good quality!"
"Eh, there's such a thing? An Immortal Boat, that's not cheap!"
"Yes!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to find the leader."
The two soon arrived at the leader's residence.
The leader of the Holy Hall Boundary Bandit Group was a blonde beauty with outstanding looks, but her temperament gave people a feeling of ruthlessness.
Her cultivation had actually reached the Middle Stage of Profound Immortal!
"What's the matter?" the beautiful leader asked.
"Leader of the Holy Hall, I encountered a small cross-boundary force!" Zheng Jicheng replied quickly. He told everything he had seen along the way and even took out a Jade Slip made from his memory fragments.
The Holy Hall leader glanced at the Jade Slip. The moment she saw the Yellow Springs water, her pupils shrank.
"Yellow Springs water? There is actually Yellow Springs water here?" The Holy Hall leader showed a look of surprise.
Zheng Jicheng was stunned, then said: "The leader needs this? I bought a portion of all four types of immortal Materials at that time!"
"Take it out!"
Zheng Jicheng hurriedly took out all four Materials.
The beautiful Holy Hall leader carefully took the Yellow Springs water. After untying the Seal, her eyes lit up: "It really is Yellow Springs water. To be able to get this kind of thing, this Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce doesn't look simple!"
Zheng Jicheng wondered: "But, I didn't see anything special!"
The Holy Hall leader nodded: "Your news is very valuable. I want this Yellow Springs water too. Your contribution is very great. I will give you one Opportunity to go to the treasure vault to exchange for treasures!"
Hearing this, Zheng Jicheng immediately said pleasantly: "Tha, thank you, leader!"
"Hmm, besides, the situation of that force cannot be rushed. After you go back, continue to find opportunities to go to that Seven Stars Market, then find a way to confirm their location in the Boundary Sea. It won't be too late to take action after investigating the other party's background or trump cards!"
The Holy Hall leader was not carried away by the treasures. Although she was eager for the Yellow Springs water, she still had enough caution in her heart.
Elder Tu on the side patted Zheng Jicheng's shoulder and transmitted his voice with envy: "You kid, you've made a fortune. The treasures collected in the treasure vault of our Holy Hall Boundary Bandit Group are all-encompassing. The treasures are more than you can imagine. You must keep your eyes sharp. Don't treat ordinary treasures as treasures. The leader's meaning is obviously to let you choose one at will!"
"I understand!" Zheng Jicheng said excitedly.
However, he also knew when to stop while he was ahead. He wouldn't deliberately pick those extremely valuable treasures. He had already decided to pick a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact long saber!
A Medium Grade Immortal Artifact is suitable for Earth Immortals to use. Many ordinary Earth Immortals don't even have a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact. To be able to obtain one at the Mahayana Realm can be said to be a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!
The beautiful Holy Hall leader was also a decisive person. She immediately took Zheng Jicheng directly into the interior of the treasure vault, which was heavily sealed by Formation Restrictions.
After arriving here, Zheng Jicheng immediately saw a massive amount of treasures.
It really made his eyes dazzle. There were many treasures with powerful auras that he couldn't even get close to. Fortunately, with the leader protecting him, he was not hurt by the treasures.
He collected his thoughts, went to the Immortal Artifact area, found a long saber marked as a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact, and said: "Leader, I want this one!"
"Oh? You want this one? The value of your news is worth more than just a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact long saber!"
The beautiful Holy Hall leader said calmly.
That Immortal Boat was secondary; the main thing was that the other party could actually sell a large amount of Yellow Springs water, and the price wasn't expensive, which made her very concerned.
Yellow Springs water is a material for a kind of life-extending pill. The biggest advantage of that kind of life-extending pill is that its drug resistance is extremely low, and it can be taken continuously many times. For a Cultivator like her who is close to the limit of her Lifespan, it is extremely needed!
A Profound Immortal's Lifespan is ten billion years, which seems very long, but there is always a time when it runs out!
And she was a Profound Immortal with only one hundred million years left, close to the limit of her Lifespan. This thing was very useful to her.
"Yes! I want this one!" Zheng Jicheng said.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the so-called Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce was rubbish. Look at his Holy Hall Boundary Bandit Group; the treasures here were massive!
"Okay!"
The beautiful leader casually sealed the long saber and then bestowed it upon Zheng Jicheng.
The two quickly exited the treasure vault.
Only a consciousness floated above the treasure vault, leaving behind a [Mind Mark].
