Chapter 185: Chapter 167: Hope to Cure Feng Bqing
Presale exhibits were items displayed for viewing, destined to be sold at an auction after the trade fair concluded.
Items for sale, however, could be purchased on-site at the trade fair and taken away imdiately.
Any for-sale items that remained unsold during the trade fair would likewise be sent to the auction three days later.
The piece of Oasis Mother Tree Resin that Su Ze had his eye on, while quite precious, had a passable annual yield. Thus, it was rely an item for sale and could be purchased directly.
"We accept paynt in points from Evolutionary Technology or Life Pharmaceutical," the saleswoman said. "If you’re a mber of our Oasis Comrce Association, you can also use our association’s points. Of course, you may also trade high-level Evolution Items directly."
Su Ze didn’t waste any more ti and paid directly with his Evolutionary Technology Points.
’This tiny piece of resin is worth a hundred thousand points!’
The saleswoman placed the resin in a sealed tal box and handed it to Su Ze.
She also issued Su Ze a mbership card for the Oasis Comrce Association; his spending there would increase his mbership level.
Su Ze wasn’t in a hurry to absorb the resin. He continued to browse the exhibition hall, which displayed a vast array of goods—tens of thousands of items in total.
After browsing all the items for sale, Su Ze didn’t find anything else that could enhance his skills, but he did spot sothing he needed.
’Sun and Moon Epiphyllum Honey!’
It was a natural redy superior to Tomorrow Flower Petals, capable of significantly accelerating an evolver’s rate of digesting Evolutionary Material.
However, the price was also terrifyingly high.
Su Ze had already been planning to purchase this kind of natural redy. He intended for his next extract to be a Tier Four, and digesting that would take a great deal of ti. Aiding the process with only Tomorrow Flower Petals would likely take anywhere from two or three months to half a year.
He knew this from Mrs. Yun and Mr. Ya’s experiences; both had absorbed a Tier Four Grade-A extract, and their digestion processes had been exceedingly long.
Su Ze wanted to save ti. ’This is an expense I can’t avoid. I have to spend the money.’
So he splurged again, spending another 150,000 points on a large bottle of Sun and Moon Epiphyllum Honey.
’I’ll need this sooner or later. Buying extra won’t be a waste.’
With that, Su Ze only had 200,000 Evolutionary Technology Points left.
He originally had 900,000 points. But between the recent purchase of the Sand Blind Snake Extract, various skill-upgrade materials, and now this bottle of Sun and Moon Epiphyllum Honey... he had burned through 700,000 points in a flash!
’This really burns through money!’
Su Ze might have seed to be worth tens of billions, but in reality, it was never enough.
Of course, few people spent as freely as he did. What other evolver would need so many high-level materials during their Cocoon Stage?
The saleswoman handed Su Ze’s mbership card back to him. "Sir," she reminded him, "you’ve t the spending threshold with the Oasis Comrce Association and have been upgraded to a Platinum mber. You are now entitled to complintary food and lodging in the VIP reception area at our headquarters."
The Oasis Comrce Headquarters had accommodations comparable to a five-star hotel, but the rates were steep. For a mber like Su Ze to have the right to free room and board was a nice perk.
Su Ze and Mr. Ya then proceeded to the center of the exhibition hall. Here, displayed in more upscale, individual crystal cases, were the presale exhibits—items all destined for the auction.
Comparatively, the exhibits here were rarer and more valuable.
Su Ze even spotted several treasures he recognized among them.
’The fruit of the Tier Five Spiritual Plant, Qiankun Wood! It can be used to craft storage items!’
’The Tree Marrow of the Tier Four Spiritual Plant, the Spirit Root Tree! It can extend one’s lifespan!’
Seeing the familiar Tree Marrow, Su Ze’s heart stirred. ’If Mrs. Yun could consu so more Tree Marrow, her chances of breaking through to the Saint level would be much higher. She wouldn’t have to rush things like she is now.’
But Su Ze knew its value was absolutely staggering. Especially at an auction, it was certain to fetch a heavenly price.
’With the two hundred thousand points I have on , there’s probably no hope.’
Su Ze deliberately moved a little closer and confird that this Spirit Root Tree Marrow didn’t trigger any reaction in his body. It seed that even if he consud more Tree Marrow, it would no longer be able to induce an upgrade for his Regeneration Body skill.
Su Ze turned his attention to the other exhibits, approaching them one by one to test for a physical reaction, but he felt nothing.
Finally, he looked toward the tallest, most conspicuous, and most luxurious pedestal, located right in the center of all the exhibits. On it sat a transparent glass bottle containing a single drop of liquid.
The transparent liquid looked just like water, but the placard beside it clearly stated that this was the main feature of the trade fair and the grand finale item for the upcoming auction: a single drop of Miracle Spring Water.
However, the area around the pedestal was cordoned off with barriers, and two evolvers from the Oasis Comrce Association flanked it, standing guard.
Su Ze couldn’t get near it.
Nevertheless, he brazenly leaned forward, his upper body tilting as he tried to get a little closer to the water.
’The closer I get, the more likely it is to trigger a physical reaction.’
Su Ze’s actions quickly drew the gazes of the two security guards.
Su Ze didn’t shrink back at all. Instead, he asked, "Can I get a little closer to see it?"
The two guards exchanged a look, uncertain how to proceed. Su Ze didn’t look like a thief or a robber; he seed to be driven by pure curiosity. Besides, many of the attendees were distinguished guests of the Oasis Comrce Association, and the two guards didn’t dare to cause offense.
But this Miracle Spring Water was extrely precious, and they didn’t have the authority to make that call.
Just as the two were hesitating, Su Ze’s eyes suddenly lost their focus.
His heart began to race. An instinct was driving him, compelling him to get closer to the water!
’This attraction... It’s the sa feeling I had when I encountered the Tier Four Coral Worm Tentacles!’
Since he wasn’t too close to the water, Su Ze didn’t lose control and quickly snapped back to his senses.
He straightened up, gave the two security guards an apologetic smile, and voluntarily took a few steps back.
He already had his answer.
’The Miracle Spring Water is a treasure that can upgrade my skills!’
