Chapter 325 The Forbidden Zone Trade

Lei Ya Nu Shou (Special Equipment) (Black): Forged from celestial lightning stone, the sword body seals the soul of a thunder beast and is tempered with its blood.

Effects:

Lei Ya: Releases current from the sword body, capable of aerial slashes or being wrapped around the blade for reinforcement. Can be combined with all lightning effects.

Nu Shou: Manifests thunder into a beast form for charging attacks.

Paralysis: Has a chance to paralyze the opponent, slowing their attack and movement speed.

Swift Thunder: When fighting with Lei Ya Nu Shou, movement speed increases by 10% and attack speed increases by 15%.

Exorcism: Possesses a suppressive effect on evil creatures.

Divine Punishment: Weapons below Black quality have a small chance of being destroyed upon collision with Lei Ya Nu Shou.

Bai Ye looked at the information displayed on the screen. It was exactly as he remembered Lei Ya Nu Shou.

On the other side, the stall owner was also very satisfied with Bai Ye's items.

Ning Shuang and the famous sword Shixue were examined with a rather calm expression, but upon seeing the Insect Breathing Technique, the owner became noticeably excited.

It was clear that although all three were of Blue quality, Ning Shuang Sword and the famous sword Shixue were mere bonuses for the stall owner. What he truly desired was the Insect Breathing Technique. For those Chosen Ones who frequented this area, breathing techniques, especially rare ones, were absolute dream acquisitions.

"The items are in order," the stall owner said. "Shall we establish a contract for the exchange?"

Bai Ye nodded. "We can."

Once both parties set up a transaction contract and exchanged goods, the trade was complete.

The stall owner politely stated, "I hope for future opportunities to cooperate."

Bai Ye smiled. "Likewise."

This was a mutually beneficial transaction. Both parties obtained what they desired. In terms of value, Bai Ye had a slight loss, but considering the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Bai Ye felt he had made a great profit.

After a few pleasantries, they parted ways. Bai Ye continued to wander the market. After all, he still had Ghost Blood and Blood Demon Arts to sell.

However, though Bai Ye wanted to sell these items, and they were indeed not as difficult to sell as he imagined, it was because Bai Ye saw many ghosts in the market. Of course, these ghosts were all Chosen Ones; otherwise, the Demon Slayer Corps would have eradicated them long ago. And there were Chosen Ones willing to become demons, or rather, like Karasumaru, they were already demons before becoming Chosen Ones. Therefore, they would undoubtedly be very interested in Ghost Blood and Blood Demon Arts.

But Bai Ye still hadn't found a trading partner. It wasn't due to the others' issues, but Bai Ye's own. Ordinary items… simply didn't catch Bai Ye's eye.

It was at this moment…

The paper crane that Gao Ming had given Bai Ye suddenly fluttered its wings and flew up.

Bai Ye was startled, then followed the paper crane back to the spot where the Evil Spirit Group had previously set up their sign.

Gao Ming, seeing Bai Ye return, wore an apologetic expression. "Apologies, we might not be able to trade."

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" This surprised Bai Ye a little. In Bai Ye's view, the Evil Spirit Group should have been very interested in this transaction. They used the Hidden Dragon Society to lure Chosen Ones to join them. Therefore, whether it was to counter the Hidden Dragon Society or emulate them, controlling the forbidden zone would be a significant temptation. In fact, once a faction was established with a large number of personnel, attempting to control forbidden zones was almost a certainty.

Gao Ming explained, "Personally, I'm inclined to trade, but the discussion resulted in no one knowing the situation of the Original Domain, what can be obtained from it, or even when it will open. Even if we trade, this matter would be delayed for a long time." Gao Ming tentatively extended his hand as he spoke. "So, this is the outcome."

Bai Ye smiled. "Then, if you knew what was inside, and could enter the forbidden zone now, would you be interested?"

Gao Ming blinked. "Likely."

Bai Ye asked, "Do you know Mount Ten-Spider?"

Gao Ming laughed. "That forbidden zone has already opened."

Bai Ye casually took out a cigarette pack, placed one in his mouth, and said, "To the southeast of Mount Ten-Spider, beyond the spiritual anomaly zone, is a martial arts region. It's a currently accessible forbidden zone. The rewards for the forbidden zone mission are a remnant scroll of a super-quality ultimate martial art, a Black quality martial art, a Blue quality sword, and twenty fragments of God's Stones. Interested?"

Gao Ming frowned. "The forbidden zone has opened?"

Bai Ye replied, "It's an open forbidden zone. Why would I be making a deal with you otherwise?"

Gao Ming countered, "If you haven't entered the forbidden zone, how do you know the rewards so clearly?"

"That's my capability," Bai Ye stated. "Interested?"

Gao Ming replied, "You know the rewards so precisely, of course, we're interested. What do you want in exchange?"

Bai Ye said, "A Black quality item. The specific item doesn't matter."

Gao Ming chuckled. "Friend, that forbidden zone only yields one Black quality martial art. And as for the so-called ultimate martial art, if it's a remnant scroll, its quality is uncertain."

Bai Ye smiled. "Firstly, martial arts are personal abilities. Secondly, there's nothing more valuable than God's Stone fragments. Thirdly, if you mobilize your people in advance and enter the forbidden zone, will you truly be doing it just for the mission rewards? Some things don't need to be stated explicitly; everyone understands." After all, if they controlled the forbidden zone, they would surely hunt other Chosen Ones.

Gao Ming pondered for a moment. "How would the transaction work? Selling a forbidden zone, I've truly never heard of this before. I have no experience."

Bai Ye proposed, "You first gather your people, then give me the item. I'll be here. Then you let your people enter the forbidden zone and check if the mission reward description matches what I said."

Gao Ming considered it. "Deal."

Bai Ye asked, "Do we not need to discuss this further?"

Gao Ming responded, "You've laid all your cards on the table, and I'm very interested. At most, I'll consider the items as coming from my personal stash. Any Black quality item will do, correct?"

Bai Ye nodded. "Correct."

Gao Ming offered, "A Black card, 'Enraged Demon God.' Take a look."

Enraged Demon God (Item) (Black): Utilizes curses to inscribe the power of a demon god into a unique card, allowing its power to be unleashed at will for one's own use.

Effects: Rage: For 15 minutes, all stats except Intelligence increase by 50 points plus an additional 10% bonus. All your ability effects increase by 10%. The weapons or armor you use have their effects increased by 15%. Temporarily gain Super Regeneration ability and the Demon God ability 'Dark Devour'.

Upon seeing the effects, Bai Ye was instantly amazed. Then, upon closer inspection… it was a 15-minute trial experience.
