Chapter 227 It's Okay, I Will Take Action! No Matter Who It Is, I Will Win! _2
The last activation was already completed.
To activate it again, one would have to wait another ten years.
So, besides the Void Spirit Mountain, where else could there be Void Devils?
Particularly Void Demon Kings!
Killing ordinary Void Devils, no matter how many, wouldn't yield Void Demon Pearls.
Only Void Demon Kings can produce Void Demon Pearls.
Lu Changsheng didn't know much about the situation in the Holy Land.
But there were others who did.
Lu Changsheng immediately took out his Communication Stone and contacted Li Guang.
Soon, Li Guang responded.
"The Demon Abyss?"
Seeing Li Guang's reply, Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought.
The Demon Abyss indeed had Void Devils.
And many of them at that.
Additionally, it was certain there were Void Demon Kings.
If Lu Changsheng could sweep through the Demon Abyss, then he surely wouldn't lack Void Demon Pearls.
However, the Demon Abyss wasn't an ordinary place.
It was exceptionally dangerous.
Not only was it perilous for Divine Power Realm experts, but even Martial Saints faced significant risks of falling there.
In the past, a large number of Martial Saints had fallen in the Demon Abyss.
Among them were even Heavenly Saints!
Lu Changsheng had great confidence in his strength.
But not to the extent of believing he could roam the Demon Abyss unchallenged.
To truly venture into the Demon Abyss would be to gamble with one's life.
That wasn't confidence—it was sheer foolishness!
"Void Demon Pearls, the major powers in the Holy Land must have some stockpile."
"Not just Void Demon Pearls, but also things like Innate Five Elements Essence, or even Void Divine Crystals—some factions surely possess them."
"The Martial Saint Mansion, aside from providing free cultivation techniques and a portion of cultivation resources, offers its greatest benefit in the Outer Mansion."
"Within the Outer Mansion, there's a Trading Hall. It facilitates exchanges among the major powers, recruits top-tier Divine Power Realm experts, or allows trades between them."
"The rewards for these transactions are essentially materials and resources for constructing one's Sacred Body."
"Perhaps I should visit the Trading Hall and take a look."
Lu Changsheng thought of the Martial Saint Mansion's most distinctive feature—the Trading Hall.
Originally, the Martial Saint Mansion had no such hall.
But as the mansion prospered, especially after the establishment of the Outer Mansion, the major powers saw an opportunity.
Even many top-tier Divine Power Martial Artists, though not joining the Martial Saint Mansion, gathered here where numerous peers assembled, sharing resources they didn't need in exchange for those they sought.
Gradually, the Trading Hall came to be.
And so, Lu Changsheng got up and left the first cave mansion, heading directly toward the Outer Mansion Trading Hall.
Upon arriving at the Outer Mansion, Lu Changsheng saw crowds bustling like a sea of people.
Compared to the Inner Mansion, the number of people in the Outer Mansion was tens of thousands of times greater.
This was no exaggeration.
Of course, most people here weren't actually affiliated with the Martial Saint Mansion.
Some weren't even part of the Outer Mansion.
At best, they were martial artists who had heard of its fame.
The Outer Mansion had effectively become something akin to a trading center for the Holy Land.
The Divine Power Realm was a very unique stage.
It heavily relied on external resources.
After all, constructing a Sacred Body required all kinds of rare external materials.
For Divine Power Realm martial artists, relying only on themselves or their own factions would be inherently limiting.
But the Martial Saint Mansion Trading Hall was different.
Here, all sorts of Divine Power Realm martial artists gathered, cultivating all kinds of Sacred Bodies. The resources for cultivation were vast and varied, and everyone could exchange whatever they needed with others.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng had entered the Outer Mansion Trading Hall.
The place was even more lively.
Martial artists came and went in droves.
Most of them were Divine Power Realm experts.
Before many of these martial artists, there were signs laid out on the ground.
The signs displayed the materials they were offering for trade.
Or the materials they were seeking.
For example, Lu Changsheng noticed that the most common signs involved "recruitment."
Yes, recruitment.
For example, recruitment of top-tier Divine Power Realm experts.
With specific requirements, such as having mastered Great Divine Powers.
They offered materials necessary for constructing Sacred Bodies as compensation.
However, upon becoming Martial Saints, these recruits would have to serve for a set number of years.
Such terms were abundant.
Though most top-tier Divine Power Realm martial artists had some backing, a few were rogue cultivators.
For these rogue cultivators, obtaining resources for constructing a Sacred Body was exceptionally difficult.
The Trading Hall allowed them to negotiate with various factions, which presented one way forward.
Of course, demands such as serving for some years after becoming Martial Saints were relatively benevolent terms.
Most factions wouldn't provide cultivation resources for free.
Typically, one had to swear allegiance for a certain number of years, with a set annual quota of resources provided by the faction.
Such arrangements were the norm.
The more talented the martial artist, the better the resources they could command.
"With my qualifications, how many cultivation resources could I obtain if I were willing to be recruited?"
Lu Changsheng mused to himself.
He was, after all, an Inner Mansion martial artist in the Martial Saint Mansion. Not to mention, he occupied the first cave mansion and had already mastered Infinite Divine Power.
With such qualifications, Lu Changsheng could be considered a rising star with limitless potential!
Many factions would undoubtedly vie for him.
However, accepting recruitment often came with losing much of one's autonomy.
Moreover, could those factions truly provide the resources Lu Changsheng needed?
That was highly doubtful.
Most likely, they could provide only a small part or a limited portion.
For Lu Changsheng, that wasn't particularly beneficial.
Still, the hall boasted a wide array of opportunities, and Lu Changsheng began searching through them one by one.
"Hmm?"
"This post is recruiting top-tier Divine Power Realm martial artists, preferably those with Martial Venerable-level strength."
"It requires arena combat, in public battles. Victors will be rewarded with Refined Geng Metal Essence!"
Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.
He knew the Refined Geng Metal Essence—it was essentially the Gold Attribute variant of the Five Elements Essence.
But it wasn't the Innate Five Elements Essence. Rather, it belonged to the Acquired Five Elements Essence.
It was extracted bit by bit from large quantities of Geng Metal and was extremely precious nonetheless.
Many Flying Sword treasures, or other magical treasures, required Refined Geng Metal Essence.
