Even Yi Tianxing found no issue with the pricing of the Glutton Rings.
Spatial treasures were always valued above other magical items of the same grade. A regular storage ring was already rare—let alone one that could store energy. That added function made it even more tempting for many cultivators.
"Nannan, would you like one of these Glutton Rings?"Yi Tianxing asked with a smile."If you want it, I'll buy not just one, but all of them."
"No need," Nannan replied, smiling softly as she gently touched the bronze ring on her finger."The one you gave me is enough."
She had never taken it off since the day she received it. Over the years, she had refined it, increasing both its rank and storage capacity. It was no less powerful than any other ring.
"Very well. Still, these gold-tier Glutton Rings are excellent.If others can't get them, I'll buy them. They'll only increase in value over time."
Yi Tianxing nodded and smiled. He didn't buy them just for personal use—they were solid investments.
"I'll take all three of the gold-tier rings. Here are the Eternal Coins—please count them."
With a wave of his hand, he tossed a storage pouch to the goblin stall owner.
"What?! He bought them all? Three gold-tier Glutton Rings! That's eight hundred thousand Eternal Coins each—2,4 million in total! How can someone spend that so casually?!"
"Wait... that's the Emperor of Yi!"
Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd. Upon recognizing Yi Tianxing, many were stunned—though it quickly made sense. Only the ruler of the Great Yi Dynasty, which minted Eternal Coins, could spend so freely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the business."The goblin bowed, slightly nervous but overjoyed as he handed over the three rings.He had counted the coins—not a single one missing.
Though many now recognized Yi Tianxing, few dared to approach him. Everyone present was a cultivator, after all—pride and self-restraint were still intact. But he certainly drew a lot more attention.
Yi Tianxing's purpose was twofold:
Acquire powerful items.
Circulate Eternal Coins to stimulate the market economy.
Currency only held value when it flowed. And Yi Tianxing's public spending would inspire confidence.
Indeed, the moment he bought the rings, interest in the Glutton Ring surged.Cultivators swarmed the goblin's stall, eager to buy—if even the Yi Emperor valued them, they must be worth it.
The goblin's eyes practically disappeared in joy.
"Brother, those incense coils over there... something feels unusual about them."Nannan pointed toward another stall.
There, incense coils were neatly arranged. A bald monk, face full of kindness and compassion, sat behind them. Just seeing him filled people with peace.
A faint, pleasing aroma floated from the coils—calming and pleasant, not pungent.
"This is Sandalwood of Buddhist Fat (佛脂檀香)," the monk explained with a serene smile."When a monk dies, we feed his body to a Divine-Demon Seed.Eventually, it becomes a Sandalwood Tree of Buddhist Fat, and this incense is harvested from it."
"Burning it calms the mind, repels inner demons, and aids in cultivation.It enhances comprehension of natural laws and helps one enter deep meditative states.One may even hear faint Buddhist chants while bathing in its aroma."
This was without a doubt one of the most valuable Divine-Demon Specialties.On the battlefield, heart demons were often more dangerous than external enemies. But Buddhist treasures like this were especially effective in resisting them.
"Great stuff, monk. How much for the incense?"
Making incense was an art among the Hundred Crafts of Cultivation. Unlike pills, incense didn't leave behind toxins or residues, and its effects were gentle and safe. But crafting it required:
Special environments
Precise formulas
Great patience
Incense makers were rare—and highly valued.
"I sell by the coil," said the monk."One coil is 1,000 Eternal Coins.It burns for a full day, and anyone within range benefits."
While not cheap, it was clearly worth the price. Being harvested from a Divine-Demon Treasure Tree, it had no impurities or side effects.
"I'll take half of what you have."Yi Tianxing said directly, stepping forward and handing over the coins.
He could have bought it all—but monopolizing was never wise.Letting others benefit built goodwill.
Still, the moment he purchased, the remaining incense sold out instantly.
Yi Tianxing smiled, pleased, and continued browsing.
He couldn't help but marvel at the hidden wealth of the Divine-Demon Battlefield.The treasures it produced benefited the entire era—from rare resources to miraculous accessories.
One such item: Butterfly Hairpins, designed for female cultivators.
They sparkled with seven shifting colors,
Could enhance appearance,
But more importantly: allowed the wearer to transform into a butterfly and escape danger.
Beautiful and life-saving—a powerful combination that elevated their value.
More wonders followed—each one breathtaking.
At the edge of the marketplace, a group of sect disciples gathered around a stall selling war swords.
Each blade:
Gleamed with spiritual light,
Radiated sharpness,
Held great growth potential.
"Senior brother, these swords are high-quality.We could cultivate them as life-bound flying swords.We sword cultivators need two: one to attack, one to defend."
"They were born from a Divine-Demon Treasure Tree, and are almost on par with natural treasures.
More importantly, these Green Jade Swords are attribute-neutral—which means any cultivator can refine them easily."
"We should buy some. Even if we don't need them, we can bring them back to our sect and trade for merit points.Our Qionghua Immortal Sect is always seeking elite sword artifacts."
"But we're broke. Each sword costs 30,000 Eternal Coins.We'll need to go to the Eternal Bank and sell some valuables to afford them."
These disciples were all striking in appearance—elegant men and women, with refined manners. Their grace was unmistakable.
They were clearly from the Qionghua Immortal Sect, and like many others, had come to White Crow City after receiving the flyers. None would miss such an opportunity.
"Senior Sister Ziyan, since this is a Great Yi city, why don't we go find your brother...?"
