The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 304 - 192: Difficult Tier Six Upgrade (6k)_3

But this time, because it was feeding personally, it was really impossible to refuse.

Looking at the panel where 20% of HP was already depleted and slowly recovering, Jun Lin sighed lightly and then seriously looked at Fan Mao’s message.

"A method to test strength? A crystal ball for cultivation detection or a special spirit stone magic treasure?

This must be from reading too many immortal cultivation novels...

But it seems my guess was right, Fan Mao must have really found some method to break through to Tier Six.

The Territory Ranking still shows Tier Five without change, which means only the Lord Rank has improved, supporting this idea.

That makes sense, even though I know there’s an opportunity to advance to Tier Six soon, Fan Mao doesn’t know that.

Facing a bottleneck with no clear breakthrough timing and being pressured with their level caught up to by us would certainly be hard to accept..."

Jun Lin also had similar thoughts to Landon, but unlike Landon, he, with his prophet-like foresight, does not blindly pursue other forces.

Instead, he trusts more in his "memory."

As for Fan Mao’s inquiry, whether it was because of the recent face-saving or Fan Mao’s status and his former admiration, he answered honestly:

"Yes, there are two methods in total.

The first is a special secret technique that can directly examine others’ or one’s own rank, similar to a reconnaissance spell.

Originally, after casting, the target would clearly feel it, but this flaw was fixed after improvements.

But this secret technique must be used by a ’cultivator.’

The second is a special magic artifact, something I researched myself, originally sold as a product in an instance.

It is made using machinery and special spirit stones. If you want, I can sell it to you as well.

Below is the panel of these two methods."

Along with sending the information, he also sent the specifically captured panel images, one of a skill and the other of an item.

[Hidden Spirit Viewing Technique (Tier Five/Purple): Cast the secret technique to peek at targets not exceeding Tier Six and obtain information such as their rank, attributes, skills, etc. The greater the rank difference, the more obscure the results]

[Spiritual Energy Detection Device (Tier Five/White): Upon infusing with spiritual energy (magic power/mana...), it provides feedback on the current cultivation state of the target, with a detection cap of level 70, accurate to eight decimal places]

"What about the price? I want both, and for the Spiritual Energy Detection Device, give me a hundred at first, I’ll buy more if it’s not enough."

He didn’t have to wait long before receiving Fan Mao’s reply.

"As expected of Fan Mao...

Generous right from the start, not even asking about the price..."

Yet, when it came to setting a price, he really didn’t know what to ask for.

In his past life’s understanding, Fan Mao just sold grain to low-tier lords, and he really didn’t know what high-level goods Fan Mao could offer.

And after his own development, he hadn’t traded much with Fan Mao besides grain seeds, making it difficult.

It’s not that he didn’t know Fan Mao sold space rings and potions.

He could buy the former himself in the Immortal Cultivation World, or even refine them himself. It’s just that producing these items was troublesome and couldn’t be mass-produced, hence no sale.

For the latter, he could be self-sufficient with the current alchemy development in his territory, with demand but no urgency.

But Fan Mao didn’t let him continue to worry and proposed a new solution.

"Hello, Lord Jun Lin, I am Shang Ji. Next, I will conduct the transaction. Here is the trading plan I propose..."

"Shang Ji? A Hero Unit?"

Jun Lin instantly understood what was happening and started reading the message received from the other side.

"Currency? Made using magic power crystals?

This... is somewhat akin to spirit stones in the Immortal Cultivation World, and the magic power concentration is completely consistent, with neatly cut magic power crystals.

Far more convenient than spirit stones in the Immortal Cultivation World, and indeed capable of becoming currency...

To think that in this life, Fan Mao came up with this idea..."

Together with the information were samples of some trade-acquired magic power coins and a transaction list enumerating all sellable items.

And the list far exceeded Jun Lin’s expectations.

Not only were there space rings and potions originally for sale, but also "special magic weapons," high-level magic crystals, and even various modern engineering machinery!

The comprehensive range left Jun Lin greatly astonished.

Throughout, he had perceived Fan Mao as a lord proficient in plants, and only now did he discover the latter’s extensive expertise...

Jun Lin didn’t dare to determine whether this was his own butterfly effect in this life or if it was always this way in his past life, simply because he was at the bottom, unable to know...

After a long time, he finally snapped out of his amazement and priced his two items.

"Hidden Spirit Viewing Technique, 500,000; Spiritual Energy Detection Device, 1,000."

Setting what he saw as already high prices, Jun Lin was ready for some bargaining.

What he didn’t expect was that the other party had no intention of bargaining and directly initiated the transaction.

"Transaction completed. The ring filled with magic power coins is a gift for Lord Jun Lin."

Holding the ring that ended up in his hand, feeling its capacity, Jun Lin was once again amazed by Fan Mao’s generosity...

But on the other side, Bai Yi didn’t care about being taken advantage of.

Knowledge has its price, and for her, this cost was nothing.

After all, this money was printed by her, and even if the price doubled, she’d still profit.

Moreover, after taking the spell and that pile of machinery off the panel, besides keeping one for herself, she sent the rest to the research lab to begin the decryption process.
