Chapter 4622 Chaotic Origin

When Hua Qiong came, he was just as curious about everything in front of him as Liu Wuxie.

Logically speaking, since they were sold as slaves, they should have been kept in captivity or confined somewhere for other cultivators to choose from.

This is not the case. This star is different from other stars. It is full of life and has a unique flavor. It is very different from the stars inhabited by humans. Whether it is the buildings or the trees planted, it is out of place in the celestial realm.

“Junior brother, you may not know this, but the Chiyu Clan needs a lot of Chiyuan Crystals to feed them. Looking across the entire Heavenly Domain, only those super sects can afford to support the Chiyu Clan. As the production of Chiyuan Crystals has decreased, there are not many sects that have purchased Chiyu Clan slaves in recent years. However, the Chiyu Clan is still being born continuously. It would be a huge expense for the Brilliant Auction House to support them. So let them work on their own, earn points, exchange them for Chiyuan Crystals, and thus support themselves. If they leave this star, these Chiyu Clan members will not be able to survive.”

Hua Qiong quickly explained.

After listening to his senior brother's explanation, Liu Wuxie immediately understood.

Every year, new members of the Chiyu Clan are born. As they grow stronger, these Chiyu Clan members become exceptionally powerful in combat, and the amount of Chiyu Crystals they require is terrifying.

The Brilliant Auction House couldn't support them for free; they had to manage the star themselves. Sects that came to buy slaves could choose freely.

In other words, all the Chiyu tribes on this entire star are commodities; anyone who wants one can buy it at any time, regardless of whether they are male or female Chiyu tribesmen.

The Chiyu Clan possesses powerful physiques and formidable combat strength, making them virtually invincible among their peers. Their only drawback is the need to feed them a large amount of Chiyuan Crystals.

If we could raise a large number of Chiyu Clan members, we could definitely become the number one super power in the Heavenly Domain.

Within Xu's body lies the bloodline of the Chiyu Clan. Liu Wuxie is very clear about Xu's power, and how terrifying the true Chiyu Clan's physical body must be.

"Junior brother, you don't want to buy the Chiyu Clan, do you? Don't blame your senior brother for not warning you. The number of Chiyu Crystals the Chiyu Clan consumes every day is terrifying. Even the most wealthy auction house in the Heavenly Domain, Brilliant Auction House, is controlling their reproduction. Feeding the Chiyu Clan is a losing proposition. Brilliant Auction House is almost ready to give up on the Chiyu Clan and let them fend for themselves. The Chiyu Clan hasn't been doing well these past few years. You can tell from their physique. The true Chiyu Clan's physique is second only to the Giant Clan, but the Chiyu Clan members in front of you are only slightly taller than us humans. The energy they contain is incomparable to their peak."

Hua Qiong quickly offered a reminder.

The major sects have already done the math: the cost of raising a sub-saint level Chiyu Clan member is more than five times that of training a sub-saint level expert.

With the same resources, five powerful individuals could be cultivated. Anyone would know how to choose, which is why the Chiyu Clan has been experiencing sluggish sales for years.

Previously, due to fierce competition among the major sects and insufficient resources, they could only purchase members of the Chiyu Clan to handle dangerous matters and preserve their sect's strength.

Nowadays, powerful figures emerge in the Heavenly Domain, and the major sects are not lacking in powerful cultivators, so there is naturally no need to purchase members of the Chiyu Clan.

It's not that the Chiyu tribe isn't strong enough, nor that they aren't obedient enough; it's simply that we can't afford to raise them.

Liu Wuxie remained silent, his gaze fixed on the distant Chiyu Clan, who had yet to notice him and his senior brother.

Consciousness arrived at the Primordial Sacred Realm and quickly entered the Realm of Whispers, where a large amount of Whispers Origin aura rushed towards it.

“I only have one Chiyuan Crystal vein, which will definitely be depleted in time. If I could condense this Chiyuan aura into something like a pill, I wonder if it could feed the Chiyu Clan.”

Liu Wuxie suddenly had a bold idea.

The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron can not only refine all things, but also purify various gases. He had tried it before and succeeded.

Immediately, a portion of the Chi Yuan gas was extracted and incorporated into the Devouring Heaven Sacred Cauldron. Through continuous purification by the Devouring Heaven Sacred Cauldron, this Chi Yuan gas was repeatedly compressed and eventually transformed into a wisp of irregular crystal.

Completely different from elixirs, this crystal was about the size of a broad bean, crystal clear, and exuded a pure aura.

Liu Wuxie reached out and the bean-sized crystal fell into his palm, instantly filling the air with a rich aura of Chiyuan.

Such a small crystal contains an enormous amount of primordial energy.

Looking at the crystal in his palm, Liu Wuxie was incredulous. He then took out a Chiyuan Crystal from his storage ring for comparison.

"How can this be!"

By comparing Liu Wuxie's conclusions, it was found that it would take ten thousand Chiyuan Crystals to condense such a small crystal.

"Chaos Origin!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Liu Wuxie without warning, startling even Hua Qiong.

Hua Qiong was so engrossed in staring at the crystal in his junior brother's hand that he didn't notice a powerful figure landing in front of them.

Liu Wuxie immediately gripped the crystal in his hand and looked up at the old man in front of him. The old man was an extremely aged member of the Chiyu Clan, holding a cane, staring at Liu Wuxie's right hand with hope.

"What did you just say, senior?"

Liu Wuxie was so focused on watching that he vaguely heard the old man say something about the Chaos Origin.

The Chiyu tribe's appearance is largely similar to that of humans, yet they are not the same. They are extremely robust, with thick limbs and heads that are a size larger than normal. Standing next to them, an invisible sense of oppression comes over you.

In addition, the Chiyu tribe is born with six fingers, one more than humans. Legend has it that this is also a unique supernatural ability of the Chiyu tribe, which allows them to perform unique secret techniques.

Their eyes are also different from those of humans. Humans have white irises, while the eyes of the Chiyu tribe are dark green with a faint blue glow.

Can I see what you're holding?

The elder from the Chiyu Clan did not answer Liu Wuxie, but instead wanted to examine the crystal in Liu Wuxie's palm.

Liu Wuxie hesitated for a moment, then opened his palm, revealing a crystal the size of a fingernail to the old man.

The old man did not touch it, but watched quietly as a pure source of energy flowed from the crystal into his body, allowing him to close his eyes and carefully perceive it.

"As expected, it's Chaos Origin. Where did you get this kind of thing?"

About three breaths later, the old man opened his eyes and asked Liu Wuxie with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"Senior, you still haven't told me where this thing comes from."

Liu Wuxie closed his palms again. He naturally wouldn't tell how he got the crystal; what he wanted to know was its value.

I was just trying to compress it, and this is what I got. If I compress it on a large scale, I could produce hundreds of these crystals every day.

"Are you two also here to buy members of the Chiyu Clan?"

The old man glanced around warily. Although the Glorious Auction House was under the autonomy of the Chiyu Clan, they would still send people over to check on it every now and then.

"Yes!"

Liu Wuxie nodded.

"Please come with me, this is not the place to talk."

After the old man finished speaking, he led Liu Wuxie and Hua Qiong into the depths of the stars.

Besides Liu Wuxie and Hua Qiong, there were other human cultivators on the star who were also learning about the Chiyu Clan, hoping to buy a few of them to use as slaves.

Even if we can't afford to raise them anymore, we can simply give up.

"Let's go and see. The Chiyu Clan doesn't dare to attack humans here, otherwise they would be suppressed by the Brilliant Auction House. I doubt they would dare to do anything to us."

Hua Qiong secretly sent a telepathic message to his junior brother, also wanting to know what the old man wanted with them.

Other humans set foot on this star as if selecting prey, and many members of the Chiyu race actively approached them, hoping to take them away.

Staying here every day, their lives are precarious, and the food provided by the Glorious Auction House is becoming increasingly scarce, unless they can return to the Ancient God Realm, where there are abundant Chiyuan Crystals.

The old man deliberately avoided other humans and led Liu Wuxie through several small paths to the depths of the Chiyu tribe. Humans were forbidden from setting foot here, and the place was inhabited only by Chiyu children and the elderly.

Those who come to select Chiyu tribesmen as slaves mostly choose young and strong Chiyu tribesmen, and rarely choose the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Many houses have been built here. The Chiyu tribe usually lives here. Every night, when the stars close, all humans must leave, and the Chiyu tribe must also rest. Such a strange method of selecting slaves is simply unheard of.

Along the way, Liu Wuxie saw many members of the Chiyu Clan trying to sell themselves, hoping to leave this star as soon as possible.

Each person who leaves means that the tribe will receive more food.

After looking around to make sure no one was following them, the old man led Hua Qiong and Liu Wuxie to a special house that was not made of stone but woven from rattan.

This was the first time Liu Wuxie had ever seen a house like this.

Although the cricket had been here before, it had not ventured deep into the area and could only stay within designated zones.

Upon entering the house, the vines seemed to come alive, instantly isolating them from the outside world, causing Liu Wuxie and Hua Qiong to tense up immediately.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you!"

The old man immediately explained that he did this simply to prevent others from spying on him.

Along the way, Liu Wuxie had investigated the old man's cultivation level, which was unfathomable. He was definitely a top-tier expert, whose cultivation was even comparable to that of a Earth Saint.

Such a top-tier expert, yet he remains trapped within the stars; is this not a tragedy for him?

Humans who lose their spiritual energy are also worse off than dead; the witch tribe is a living example of this.

Liu Wuxie provided a large amount of witch energy, which allowed the witch clan to be reborn and gave birth to many powerful individuals.

Without the sustaining power of witch energy, the destruction of the witch clan is only a matter of time.

"Senior, what is your purpose in summoning us here?"

Liu Wuxie composed himself and asked the old man in a gloomy tone.

If the old man really wanted to harm him, with his and his senior brother's combined strength, they would have a hard time resisting.

By the time my master and the patriarch arrive, I'll probably already be a corpse.

"I am Pu Luo, the current patriarch of the Chiyu Clan. I greet you two young heroes."

The old man bowed respectfully to Liu Wuxie and Hua Qiong, showing no airs whatsoever, but rather great humility, leaving Liu Wuxie and Hua Qiong completely bewildered.

"Did you call us over just to say hello? If you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Liu Wuxie didn't have time to beat around the bush; he still had to attend the Brilliant Auction.

Judging from the timing, the Brilliant Auction is about to begin, and he must hurry.
