Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 468: A Huge Transaction

[Ding, Dao Source Fame Points +30 trillion]

[Ding, transaction completed, Transaction Power +51 trillion, equivalently converted into 51 trillion Dao Source]

After Netherdark successfully broke through to the sixth-stage Dao Lord level.

Su Yuan successfully obtained another 30 trillion Dao Source Fame Points from Netherdark.

At the same time, because he had completed a transaction with Netherdark, the Transaction Power from the Transaction Dao Principle could also be converted into Dao Source, granting him an additional 51 trillion Dao Source out of thin air.

While harvesting the Dao Source, Su Yuan also witnessed the usage effect of the Chaos Trait [Balancing Work and Rest].

The effect was astonishing. That cluster of Chaos Fire could not only be used to enhance comprehension, but could also serve as a substitute for Dao Source, and could even eliminate the rejection between different Dao Principles. Its outstanding performance made Su Yuan extremely happy.

He now had a full 4.61 million breaths of Chaos Breath in his hands, which would provide tremendous assistance for his cultivation.

However, if he were to use it, he certainly couldn’t be as crude as Netherdark had been, with much of the Chaos Fire being wasted on useless places. Su Yuan found that extremely regrettable.

Netherdark, meanwhile, opened his eyes and looked at Su Yuan with gratitude.

“Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, thank you for your help. The current me has been completely reborn, and my strength far surpasses what it was before!” Netherdark was overjoyed.

Su Yuan laughed heartily, “Fellow Daoist, it is your profound foundation that allowed the effects of the Chaos Breath to be maximized. Congratulations!”

Netherdark smiled first, but then he suddenly remembered something. If he had truly only received one-tenth of the Chaos Breath, then wouldn’t Su Yuan now have nine-tenths of the Chaos Breath in his possession?

Thinking of the astonishing effects of the Chaos Breath, he became very interested in the remaining portion.

“Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, I wonder if you could cede part of the remaining Chaos Breath to me again?” Dao Venerable Netherdark asked expectantly.

Hearing this, Su Yuan said, “You mean, you want to purchase Chaos Breath from me?”

“Uh, yes!” Netherdark suddenly sensed something was off.

“You understand the function of Chaos Breath. It is an extremely precious resource. I am willing to trade it. I will set the price at one billion Dao Source per wisp of Chaos Breath!”

Su Yuan paused, then continued, “You just used 510,000 wisps of Chaos Breath, which is equivalent to 510 trillion Dao Source! You got a huge bargain!”

“Wait a moment!”

Dao Venerable Netherdark immediately felt something was wrong, “You mean to say, I originally possessed 5.1 million wisps of Chaos Breath, worth 5,100 trillion Dao Source, and you initially intended to buy it all for 100 trillion Dao Source?”

Su Yuan explained, “That’s different. In the previous transaction, the Chaos Breath was useless to you, so the price of 100 trillion Dao Source I offered was very fair!”

“Now it’s different. I provided the method for using the Chaos Breath. This is an additional service, so it’s perfectly normal for the price to increase!”

Su Yuan said very seriously.

Netherdark fell silent, “But I can’t afford it now!”

Su Yuan said regretfully, “Then I can only apologize. Fellow Daoist, you can travel to various places in the Dao Realm to seek opportunities. Perhaps you will find enough treasures to exchange for Chaos Breath. However, I must remind you, if you wish to purchase, please make an appointment in advance. The stock is not plentiful!”

Dao Venerable Netherdark’s mouth twitched, “I want to make an advance appointment for 100 trillion Dao Source worth of Chaos Breath.”

Hearing this, Su Yuan said, “Agreed. Please first pay a deposit of 10 trillion Dao Source to sign the transaction contract.”

“I’ll sign!” Netherdark said solemnly.

Thus, Netherdark paid 10 trillion Dao Source and reserved 100,000 wisps of Chaos Breath from Su Yuan’s possession.

The moment this transaction was completed.

The Transaction Dao Principle exerted its power, and the Transaction Power was once again converted into 100 trillion Dao Source.

And so, in just this short period.

Su Yuan had obtained 191 trillion Dao Source out of thin air, along with 4.51 million breaths of Chaos Time, and had yet to receive 90 trillion Dao Source in accounts receivable.

These were the benefits Su Yuan gained from seeking out Netherdark this time.

As for Su Yuan’s expenditure, it was merely using the Chaos Trait [Balancing Work and Rest] once.

It could basically be described as getting something for nothing.

Therefore, Su Yuan bid farewell to Dao Venerable Netherdark and sought out the Lord of the Nine Pure.

After the same series of operations, the Lord of the Nine Pure also fell into the trap.

The Lord of the Nine Pure successfully broke through to the sixth-stage Dao Lord level.

Su Yuan once again harvested 200 trillion Dao Source and 5.1 million breaths of Chaos Time, along with 180 trillion in future receivables.

Then Su Yuan went to find the Lord of the Nine Separation.

The Lord of the Nine Separation was also a veteran Dao Venerable, contributing a similar amount of resources to Su Yuan, successfully allowing Su Yuan to harvest another batch of resources.

Afterwards, Su Yuan sought out other Dao Lords.

These Dao Lords had comparatively less Chaos Time, but some among them possessed a truly considerable amount.

Su Yuan conducted transactions with each of them one by one.

To prevent accidents, he had them all sign confidentiality clauses, so they did not inform on each other.

This allowed Su Yuan to hold the initiative every time during the transactions.

After Su Yuan had visited all the Dao Lords in Daochu City.

The number of Dao Source in Su Yuan’s hands had now reached 3,300 trillion! Additionally, 1.5 trillion Dao Source could still be collected in the future.

His Chaos Time had also reached 49.9 million breaths! And this was after deducting the reserved Chaos Time.

The scale of the harvest was akin to looting a household.

And after he had stuffed everyone like this, their strengths had all improved by leaps and bounds.

Second-stage and third-stage Dao Lords became commonplace, several fourth-stage Dao Lords had emerged, not to mention that Netherdark and the others had already reached the sixth-stage Dao Lord level. The changes could be described as astonishing.

And all of this was done behind the back of the Lord of the Nine Void.

When the Lord of the Nine Void consolidated his cultivation and walked out of his secluded training place, he swept his divine sense around and immediately froze.

He saw several fourth-stage Dao Lords discussing the Dao in a certain part of Daochu City.

The problem was, these few fourth-stage Dao Lords previously seemed to be at most first-stage or second-stage Dao Lords!

He saw Dao Venerable Jiemeng, who was now actually a fifth-stage Dao Lord, not far from the sixth stage.

And when he saw Dao Venerable Netherdark, he discovered the other party already possessed the strength of a sixth-stage Dao Lord, and seemed even more formidable than an ordinary sixth-stage Dao Lord.

“How long have I been in seclusion? The changes in Daochu City are too great!”

The Lord of the Nine Void suspected he had been in seclusion for too long and was hallucinating.

At this moment, Su Yuan also sought out the Lord of the Nine Void.

“Fellow Daoist, may we speak in private?”

The Lord of the Nine Void nodded, “Please!”

The two arrived at a courtyard.

Su Yuan directly said, “Fellow Daoist, I wish to purchase something from you for 500 trillion Dao Source. I wonder if you are willing?”
