Cosmic Trading System

"You're not overthinking it. According to Black Skeleton, that Star Beast is only in the initial phase of the tenth level. In that case, a cultivator at level ten already qualifies to fight for the Heavenly-luck Flower. Therefore, we cannot dismiss our competitors lightly," Lin Yun shook his head.

It was not rare for a weaker party to profit from the disputes among powerful ones during treasure hunting. If they started dismissing others due to their superior strength, they would be too arrogant.

"Your Majesty is correct," Fang Ao agreed, his tone full of respect.

At present, he held Lin Yun in the highest regard.

Despite being over three thousand years old and appearing very youthful with a promising future, compared to Lin Yun and his team, he was nothing.

Each time he progressed to the next stage, it took him centuries, didn't it?

And now?

He'd just broken through to the initial phase of the tenth level not long ago, but since following Lin Yun, in no time at all, he had broken through to the Mid Term Realm of the tenth level. Moreover, Lin Yun had even elevated his Mental Strength to match this level!

At this point, he was confident he could face cultivators at the late phase of the tenth level without losing ground.

Compared to his initial strength, his power had increased more than twofold, hadn't it?

This was evidence of his immense potential!

Therefore, his admiration, respect, and loyalty toward Lin Yun only grew stronger.

He believed that following Lin Yun was a tremendously fortunate opportunity!

Even if someone tried to drive him away now, he would refuse to leave.

He was more worried whether Lin Yun would keep him around!

After all, he knew that Lin Yun's current strength was no less than his own!

In a while, Lin Yun's strength would effortlessly surpass his and that was certain. Then, would Lin Yun still find him useful?

That was why he utilized every moment of rest to cultivate in hopes of not falling too far behind. Additionally, during their time in the Kodis Empire, he put in his best effort to contribute ideas to prove his worth.

Soon, the Star-Roar Beast and the Heavenly-luck Flower both showed up on their battleship's star map.

The Star-Roar Beast on a planet was absorbing the power of the brilliant stars, which was its way of cultivating.

However, while cultivating, the Star-Roar Beast intermittently opened its lantern-sized eyes to glance at the Heavenly-luck Flower not too far away. The Beast's body was moving restlessly back and forth, its mood seemingly irritable.

It seemed to have sensed something.

Its eyes occasionally scanned the surroundings, pausing slightly in the direction of some fleets.

Beasts were naturally instinctive. Sensing danger in the environment was common for them.

"The flower should bloom in about three days..."

Lin Yun looked at the Heavenly-luck Flower on the star map, compared it with the data on the Cosmic Trading System, and quickly furrowed his brows.

In three days, the flower would bloom. They had arrived just in time.

However, several powers would arrive here in three days.

He didn't know what changes the next three days would bring.

Most importantly, the Heavenly-luck Flower... the flower bloom would last for three days. The longer it bloomed, the better its effects. Allegedly, if the flower was harvested at the last hour of the third day, it could enable a cultivator at the tenth level to break through two levels, a cultivator at the ninth level to break through three, and one at the eighth level to break through four levels.

But, there was a drawback.

If the Heavenly-luck Flower was harvested within the last hour, under any means, it couldn't be preserved for long. It must be consumed within an hour.

This wasn't a problem for Lin Yun and his team.

But, the disturbance of the miraculous rain was not minor. If they waited until the third day, what unexpected event could occur during the process?

What worried Lin Yun was, according to their battleship's scanning equipment, Master Ming and his group were getting closer rather than farther away from here in these three days.

Based on their current trajectory, they might get even closer after three days.

Six days...

Especially, the last three days brought major changes.

"Let's stop here for now,"

Lin Yun commanded.

He didn't allow the battleship to move any further.

Because he feared alarming the few fleets ahead.

Although he was confident he could quickly eliminate these fleets, on the one hand, he didn't want to kill indiscriminately, and on the other, he feared the information from here would leak if these people were wiped out.

After all, with so many people coming here to work, wouldn't they have thought about possible accidents?

If an accident did occur, wouldn't they benefit someone else?

These were considerations Lin Yun had to make.

Three days. Once news of the Heavenly-luck Flower spread, it was enough for many forces to come forward.

Furthermore, Lin Yun wanted to keep the flower blooming for a longer span.

If he could maintain it until the end, that would yield six days.

Although Lin Yun now had eleven robots with the strength of Grade 10 Peak martial artists and one robot with the strength of an early-stage Grade 11 martial artist, he wasn't arrogant enough to believe he was invincible in this Star Domain.

Master Ming and his group alone were a force Lin Yun couldn't currently contend with.

In six days, they would have ample time to make several trips.

Soon, their battleship stopped on a small planet, while they kept their top-tier shield device operating at full power.

If you didn't see their battleship with your own eyes, you wouldn't have detected it with ordinary scanning equipment.

"That's the royal fleet of the Mohe Empire... That's the core fleet of the Blood Slaughter Nation... That's the duke's fleet of the Kodis Empire..."

In the time that followed, Fang Ao continued to introduce the histories of these incoming fleets to Lin Yun.

The duke's fleet from the Kodis Empire even brought along two top-tier battleships of Level 7 technological civilization and a number of other Level 7 technological civilization battleships.

Lin Yun had never traded with them, but he knew that they had traded with Master Ming's group. These Level 7 technological civilization battleships must have been acquired from them.

On seeing this fleet, Lin Yun frowned slightly.

If they had traded with Master Ming's group and thus had a means to contact them, wouldn't the news here be exposed if they got in touch?

Of course, the Heavenly-luck Flower was very precious, and the owner of this fleet might not necessarily want to let Master Ming's group know.

However, if these people encountered an accident, it was hard to say if they would pass on the information here to Master Ming's group.

Lin Yun planned to let the Heavenly-luck Flower bloom for three days...

These people may not wait.

As such, Lin Yun would definitely have to make a move.

How was he to ensure that the information here would not be leaked by these people then?

Another point, now that many of the forces of the three great civilizations knew about this Heavenly-luck Flower, how many people in the influential Kodis Empire knew?

If this Kodis Empire duke didn't wish to share this information with Master Ming, would nobody else?

Especially considering that Master Ming's group was currently trading with the major forces, their Level 7 technological civilization battleships were very attractive. Those lacking money yet desiring things might use this information in exchange.

The fleets from the Mohe Empire and the Blood Slaughter Nation had similar considerations. Now that a very powerful fleet had arrived, their chances of obtaining the Heavenly-luck Flower were slim. Would they accept it?

With this in mind, would they then let the information here leak out?

As he thought about it, Lin Yun's mood darkened even more.

"Get that Black Skeleton over here!" Lin Yun said through gritted teeth.

A huge opportunity?

Now, with so many forces coming, even Level 7 technological civilization battleships are here, and there are even two top-tier ones among them. If he hadn't arrived, would the Black Skeleton have even a shred of a chance to benefit?

Was this the huge opportunity the Black Skeleton spoke of?
