King Of Chaos

Given that this was a merchant ship, Ling Xiaolong inquired about the possibility of showcasing and selling some of his treasures.

Even though Lin Weiwei and her companions had permitted Ling Xiaolong's entry onto the merchant ship, they remained cautious. Upon hearing his intention to sell treasures, their eyebrows were raised in surprise.

Eventually, under Lin Weiwei's gesture, Elder Hong nodded his head and informed Ling Xiaolong that he could indeed sell any valuable items he possessed.

Generally speaking, Ling Xiaolong did not need to sell anything, but he could see their guards up against him. He could also understand their situation, but it was not a pleasant feeling to be constantly under someone's watchful eyes.

In order to let them know that he is really not a pirate so that they can relax, Ling Xiaolong decided to take out some of his treasures.

As long as the value of his treasure is beyond something pirates could take out, these people will definitely let their guard down.

And thus followed the next series of actions.

Ling Xiaolong first took out a few Four-Marked and Five-Marked Luminous Essence Crystals.

Before departing from the Land of Luminous Essence, Ling Xiaolong had hunted down thousands of Luminous Beasts with varying strengths to acquire their Luminous Essence Crystals. It took him only a few minutes.

Undoubtedly, these were highly valuable treasures, particularly outside the Land of Luminous Essence. After all, these crystals were exclusive to this Land and couldn't be found anywhere else.

The people on the Sun Family's Merchant Ship were already familiar with the Land of Luminous Essence, and upon a quick glance, they recognized the Luminous Essence Crystals. This further affirmed that Ling Xiaolong had been truthful; indeed, he had been in the Land of Luminous Essence before stepping into the void.

Ling Xiaolong did not stop there. He was about to take out the Saint Spirit Fruit when he suddenly felt something inside his personal Chaos.

Looking inside, he saw that Chaos had started stabilizing. The Chaos has not completed its evolution, it was still expanding. However, the speed at which it was expanding had decreased a lot.

The Lotus of Chaos had surpassed its previous limits, appearing so majestic and domineering that even Ling Xiaolong found himself momentarily stunned.

Most importantly, a few other Lotus Buds had grown out from the same roots.

Regarding the Lotus of Chaos, it wasn't just the flower; it also possessed leaves, a petiole, rhizomes, and roots.

The roots had already covered every corner of his personal chaos like a network grid, closely keeping control over Chaos to prevent any mishaps from happening.

With numerous evolutions, additional leaves had sprouted, and new lotus buds had unexpectedly emerged. This development caught Ling Xiaolong by surprise.

These buds were interconnected and constituted integral parts of the main Lotus of Chaos.

This time, The Lotus of Chaos had gone through a huge change, and this change was definitely connected to his mysterious bloodline somehow.

Ling Xiaolong manifested as an astral projection in front of the Lotus of Chaos, closely observing it. The more he observed, the more awe-inspiring this Lotus became in his eyes.

It was a pity that he could talk with the Lotus for the time being. There were a few questions he wanted to ask, but he had to wait.

Suddenly, Ling Xiaolong's gaze fell upon a dry leaf. Despite its withered appearance, the leaf retained a huge amount of pure energy. But this amount of energy was not enough for Ling Xiaolong's advancement into the next stage of his cultivation, after all, the amount of energy he required to advance each stage was simply too much, mainly when he needed to supplement his personal Chaos with a huge amount of energy as well.

Surprisingly, this energy was identical to the pure energy that had abruptly surged within Ling Xiaolong's body, resembling an ocean.

"I'll be taking this!"

A smile appeared on Ling Xiaolong's face as he pulled the dry leaf out of a sub-petiole, and then his astral projection disappeared.

Back to his main body, Ling Xiaolong took out the dry leaf and presented it in front of Lin Weiwei and Elder Hong.

The moment this leaf was out, it attracted everyone's attention. Even Elder Mo, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared.

"This is..."

Elder Mo could feel that if he could refine the dry leaf and absorb the pure energy it contains, the chances of him becoming a Master of Chaos would increase by at least 30%.

This 30% increase in probability was actually a large scale that could not be counted.

"I'll be taking this. You can ask for anything you want. As long as it is a suitable price, I'll pay up!"

Without waiting for anyone to say, Elder Mo immediately presented his offer.

"Elder Mo?"

Both Lin Weiwei and Elder Hong looked at Elder Mo with some resentment. They also wanted to buy this dry leaf from Ling Xiaolong, for they could tell that the opportunity to become stronger was right in front of them.

Ling Xiaolong smiled at them and spoke, "I just need treasures that could help me with my cultivation!"

Ling Xiaolong was sure that the dry leaf could not help him much. However, it was an unrivaled treasure in the eyes of other warriors. He could definitely exchange it with treasures that will be enough to advance to the Eighth Stage at the very least.

What Ling Xiaolong currently needed was a substantial quantity of Celestial Energy. Obtaining treasures brimming with Celestial Energy and absorbing them would directly impact his cultivation.

He was confident that he could exchange the dry leaf for enough resources to advance to the next stage. After all, the pure energy contained within the leaf could also be transformed into Origin Energy, a necessity in becoming a Master of Chaos.

Elder Mo and even Elder Hong will definitely fight for this treasure.

What if put it in auction?

Ling Xiaolong was sure to obtain more benefits. However, he'll need to waste who knows how much time just to put the dry leaf on auction. So, he decided otherwise!

"Cough cough!"

Elder Hong also did not want to give this treasure up, for he could feel the chance to advancement was right in front of him. So, he decided to fight for this treasure as well.

Coughing, he directed his words at Lin Weiwei, "Miss, why don't you bring this sir around the ship and show him our treasures as well? Who knows he might be interested in some!"

Lin Weiwei sighed and nodded her head.

Ling Xiaolong had no intention to refuse. He also wanted to give them enough time to decide the winner among themselves and come up with a value for dry leaf on their own.

So he left with Lin Weiwei.

.....

The interior of the Sun Family's Merchant Ship was very huge, larger than the largest village out there in any Land. This ship was also filled with many buildings.

It was roughly divided into residency areas, visitation areas, and food areas. There were even combat areas that were specially given to some warriors for sparring.

Of course, there were also trading areas, commercial areas, and so on and so forth.

The accommodation area primarily served the passengers on the merchant ship, with divisions into several levels such as the civilian area, noble area, and more.

In the civilian area, the more individuals shared a room, the lower the price they paid for their stay. However, opting for shared rooms meant sacrificing freedom and privacy. Moreover, with multiple occupants in a single room, conflicts were more likely to arise.

This reason also gave birth to what was known as the battle zone on the merchant ship.

Superior to the civilian area was the ordinary area where civilians with more money could be found. Here, each room typically accommodated only one person, though the rooms weren't particularly spacious.

Next up was the Noble Area and then was the Aristocratic Area.

The rooms progressively grew larger and more luxurious, offering an increasingly enjoyable experience.

The highest level was the VIP area. The VIP area was filled with luxurious mansions. Entering the mansion was like entering another world, enjoying the highest service of the Sun Family's Merchant Ship. There were also some extremely beautiful maids and handsome menservants, and they were specially reserved for VIPs with unique hobbies.

There were actually no strict restrictions in these several areas. So long as you were able to take out enough money and pay the sufficient price, you would naturally be able to stay in any of these areas and enjoy that level of treatment there.

However, the VIP area was not a place one could move in with money.

Those who were able to live in the VIP area were either from Great Powers or had extraordinary origins that Sun Family's Merchant Ship took the initiative to curry favor with and befriend.

[A/N]: The terms "noble" and "aristocrat" are related and often used interchangeably, but they can have distinct meanings.

Nobility refers to a social class traditionally composed of individuals and families who hold hereditary titles of nobility granted by a King or another authority.

Aristocracy, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses individuals who belong to the highest social class based on birth, wealth, or both.
