Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 390 - 323: Equivalent Exchange? I’ll Just Physically Erase the Debt!
However, even knowing there was a treasure on the beam, Su Yuan couldn’t just head straight for it.
Doing so would be too obvious and easily alert the Ice-haired Lolita that her thoughts were being eavesdropped on.
Various ideas flashed through Su Yuan’s mind, eventually giving him a sudden inspiration.
Su Yuan then said with a smile: 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"I’ve heard from various ancient texts that the Dragon Race’s wealth spans the four seas. As the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s darling, Miss Long Bai, you must have many treasures."
"Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, and I can’t tell what the true treasures are. Perhaps you could introduce them to me, Miss Long Bai."
"Of course, there’s no need to specifically point out where these treasures are stored. Just hearing about them and broadening my horizons would satisfy me."
Long Bai cautiously eyed Su Yuan, a bit worried that he might try to trick her again.
Nonetheless, her desire to share and show off, accumulated over tens of thousands of years of solitude, eventually overpowered her vigilance.
"Simply introducing them to Su Yuan should be fine, after all, my treasures are well hidden. Su Yuan couldn’t find them by just following a map."
The Ice-haired Lolita comforted herself for a moment, then lightly coughed and replied casually:
"Naturally."
"Did you know that in my Dragon Palace Treasure Vault, there is a divine weapon called the Sea-Overarching Purple Gold Beam? It can be large or small, long or short, light or heavy, with endless transformations, and is a Nascent Soul Level divine weapon?"
"And even if I tell you the marvels of the Sea-Overarching Purple Gold Beam, I’m not afraid of you finding it in the vault."
"Because it has already shrunk to the size of an embroidery needle, finding it in the vault is like finding a needle in a haystack."
Goodness! Does every Dragon Palace have such a stick to keep things in order?
This seems to be a legacy item!
Even though it’s called the Sea-Overarching Purple Gold Beam, it’s clearly cribbing from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, isn’t it!
Su Yuan silently mockingly thought, but said aloud:
"Sea-Overarching Purple Gold Beam? The name sounds impressive, but the effect seems average."
The proud expression on Long Bai’s little face suddenly froze, and then she exclaimed angrily:
"Su... Su Yuan, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on our Dragon Race?"
Su Yuan said calmly:
"In my Sect, there is also a Nascent Soul divine weapon that not only has all the effects of the Sea-Overarching Purple Gold Beam but can also explore the nine heavens above and the nine abysses below, called the Jianmu Divine Needle."
"But even such a precious treasure is usually used for one purpose in our Sect... and that is for construction."
As soon as he said this, Long Bai became even more furious.
"What! You dare compare my treasure to a stick used for construction?"
Su Yuan shook his head:
"It’s not that I insist on comparing the two. It’s just that your treasure can’t keep up with the times. Unless... you have a better treasure! One that the modern cultivation industrial system can’t match."
Long Bai bit her pink lip and said:
"I have a Treasure Mirror, called the Qiankun Mirror. It can reflect the place where one desires to go in the mirror, and as long as the destination is within a hundred thousand miles, a thought can reverse the universe, and make one’s true form reach the mirrored location."
Su Yuan said:
"Not bad at all, but did you know that the Great Cultivators outside each have their own private Teleportation Array?"
"For example, the Red-haired True Monarch who brought us here, her Teleportation Array can accurately locate and teleport across planets and worlds."
"A Qiankun Mirror with a mere hundred thousand-mile teleportation range is a bit out of date."
Long Bai became increasingly indignant, introducing her various treasures repeatedly, only for Su Yuan to repeatedly counter them.
In the end, Su Yuan let out a long sigh and said:
"After all, a hundred thousand years have passed, and the so-called treasures of the Dragon Race are just that. At most, they’re no better than the Tribulation Moon Pearl on my chest, which has been reforged using modern artifact refining technology."
The Ice-haired Lolita, provoked again and again, already had her small face flushed with frustration.
Seeing Su Yuan shake his head and sigh variously, she felt like a Northeastern chef watching a customer shaking his head vigorously at his spicy tofu dish, suddenly getting fired up.
"Man! Don’t underestimate the foundation of my Dragon Race!"
Long Bai fiercely waved her sleeve into the air and said proudly:
"We don’t even need to compare it to the entirety of my Dragon Race’s wealth. Even in my treasury, there is a treasure that absolutely cannot be created in the modern era."
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, finally waiting for these words.
Long Bai then said proudly:
"I have a supreme treasure called the Dragon Emperor Coin, created by the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable with the gathered Wealth Qi of the Dragon Race."
"The coin is three inches and three points in diameter, two points thick, entirely golden, a treasure with no grade, usable by anyone who obtains it!"
"Let me ask you, which sect or family of today can compare in wealth to the Dragon Race?"
Su Yuan: "..."
Actually, quite a few, right? With the financial industry so developed and with Wanbao Treasures Tower being the gathering place of the world’s financial industry, gathering wealth comparable to the Dragon Race shouldn’t be too hard.
But without technology, Wanbao Treasures Tower probably couldn’t forge the Dragon Emperor Coin.
So, what exactly is the use of this Dragon Emperor Coin?
Could it be that it can create wealth out of thin air? turning stones into gold?
Su Yuan’s eyes nearly turned into dollar signs.
Seeing Su Yuan was taken aback, Long Bai smiled slightly and said:
"Whoever holds the Dragon Emperor Coin can engage in forced transactions with any target!"
"The opponent’s Magical Treasure, weapons, wealth, and all tangible external objects can all be forcibly traded."
"The only rule is equivalent exchange."
When Su Yuan heard the previous rule, he was quite excited, because with the Dragon Emperor Coin, he could start buying and selling aggressively, doing whatever he wanted.
But as soon as he heard equivalent exchange, his face fell instantly.
What? You actually have to spend money to buy things! What’s the logic behind that!
Even if it’s something useless to him, exchanging it for someone else’s most useful thing shouldn’t be allowed!
Because as long as something has value, it certainly has use; items that are useless now might become greatly useful later.
In short, asking Su Yuan to cut into his wealth is like cutting his flesh!
Dragon Emperor Coin! Forget it!
Anyway, when Long Bai was introducing various treasures earlier, the position of these treasures was already marked in his heart, choosing a Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure is quite profitable.
Seeing Su Yuan’s disappointed look, Long Bai’s lips curled slightly:
"Su Yuan, don’t be anxious, I haven’t finished speaking yet."
"If the Dragon Emperor Coin only had this little effect, why would the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, rich as the four seas, bother to refine it?"
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Then he heard Long Bai continue:
"Although the Dragon Emperor Coin must follow the principle of equivalent exchange, this coin has an internal loan limit, which means you can buy on credit."
"As for the amount of the loan limit, it depends on how much wealth the user has bound."
"The more wealth you own, the higher the loan limit, effortlessly forcing the purchase of the target’s treasure, also temporarily without paying."
"Moreover, if you gain the recognition of the true owner of the Dragon Emperor Coin, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, you will receive the endorsement of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, enjoying almost infinite loan limits."
Upon hearing this, Chen Nuoyi couldn’t help but ask:
"But with loans, don’t we still have to repay them?"
Long Bai looked at Chen Nuoyi with the eyes of seeing a three-year-old child and said indifferently:
"Do you know why the Dragon Race can amass such great wealth? The reason is simple, because dragons... have always been untrustworthy!"
"What about owing the target’s debt? If it comes to the point of warfare, after robbing the target’s treasure, you directly write off the debt physically."
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
Such an evil dragon.
So this Dragon Emperor Coin appears to be about equivalent exchange, but it’s actually a complete freebie!
Feels... so fitting for Su Yuan.
The girl instinctively turned her head to look at Su Yuan, only to see a strong aura named greed radiating from him inside and out.
Chen Nuoyi quickly reminded:
"Su Yuan, don’t get too excited; the effect of the Dragon Emperor Coin may be strong, but even if you gain infinite loan limits, so what?"
"Facing Cultivators above the Golden Core Stage, even if we directly exchange for all their treasures, we still can’t beat them, probably ending up physically writing off the debt instead."
"Moreover, there are so many treasures here, it’s impossible for us to find this supreme treasure."
Su Yuan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, chuckling:
"Who says you have to exchange treasures face to face? Can’t I exchange them secretly?"
"Anyway, with loans, I can wield the Magical Treasure without paying off the debt, at most becoming a registered debtor by the Dragon Emperor Coin."
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
Thought that physically writing off the debt was the moral bottom line, and now came an even heavier one, ready to directly become a debtor.
Su Yuan, this guy, is simply a master of devious ways.
At the same time, Chen Nuoyi suddenly realized why Su Yuan deliberately led Long Bai to reveal the detailed information of each treasure.
This guy must have learned the specific locations of these treasures through eavesdropping on inner voices.
The next moment, she heard Su Yuan smile and say:
"Miss Long Bai, the Dragon Emperor Coin is truly fated to be with Chen Nuoyi!"
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
The big charlatan has started again.
Long Bai’s somewhat complacent expression immediately turned into vigilance:
"Even though I am left with only a True Spirit and can’t use this coin, I absolutely cannot hand over the Dragon Emperor Coin to you; just give up this idea."
Su Yuan said unhurriedly:
"Whether you give it to us or not is not up to you; the key is in our own selection."
"To be honest, just now Nuoyi secretly transmitted to me saying she felt an extremely compatible treasure with her, up at the rafters of the treasure vault, seemingly a treasure formed by the convergence of Dragon Qi and Wealth Qi,"
"Therefore, I deliberately probed you for information on various supreme treasures, finally confirming that the treasure on the rafters is indeed the Dragon Emperor Coin."
"Now, I’m going to pick it!"
After speaking, without waiting for Long Bai to react, Su Yuan transformed into a blood-colored Sword Qi under the astonished gaze of the ice-haired Lolita, shooting into the sky and arriving at the rafters in the blink of an eye.
A perfectly ordinary wooden box tied to the rafters came into Su Yuan’s view.
Su Yuan casually released a Sword Qi, easily splitting the wooden box in half.
A gold coin, three inches and three points long, about two points wide, roughly half palm-sized, engraved with a True Dragon relief, flew out from the wooden box and was effortlessly caught by Su Yuan.
Seeing this, the ice-haired Lolita was silent for a long while, then suddenly burst into tears!
