Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank - Chapter 783
783 Rumors
“Boss, do you accept this?”
At that moment, another man dressed like an old farmer came forward. He held some brown-red beans that looked like hyacinth beans but were closer to dark brown.
“This is also a kind of fruit tree on the mountain. It bears very sweet berries with seeds inside. These are the bean-like seeds after separation. I don’t know if they can be exchanged for money.
The old farmer asked cautiously and expectantly.
!!
“Coffee beans? Why are there even coffee beans here?” Li Xiang couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Those beans were clearly coffee beans.
If there were coffee beans, there would be coffee trees. Coffee trees were shrubs or small trees. Their leaves faced each other and were leather-liked and oblong-shaped. In March every year, the branches would produce white flowers with petals arranged in a spiral manner, and the pistil would jump around the petals. If one looked carefully, it looked like the small windmill they played with when they were young, emitting a burst of jasmine fragrance. The berry was oval, dark red, and contained two seeds. It was the coffee bean that they were familiar with.
The first blooming period of the coffee tree, with white flowers and red fruits, was about three years old. The white flower was a five-cylindrical flower with a faint jasmine fragrance. The inflorescence was dense and arranged in a cluster. Flowers would wither two to three days after they bloomed, and they would begin to bear fruits after a few months.
Coffee had the effect of refreshing one’s mind and was one of the most common drinks in daily life. Its status was similar to tea.
And similar to Cocoa Beans, they could also be made into drinks.
He didn’t expect to find coffee beans on top of Cocoa Beans.
If tea were included, all three drinks would be available.
Li Xiang could sense Spirit Beans with Spiritual Qi from those coffee beans. As long as they were planted, they could spawn Coffee Bean Spirit Trees.
“Of course, I’ll buy these beans. The price is the same as the previous ones, five Star Coins per Jin. I’ll take as many as you have!”
Li Xiang’s mind raced, but his face remained expressionless as he spoke of the purchase price.
“Good! That’s great. I have quite a lot at home. I’ll bring them over now!”
When the civilians heard that, they were overjoyed. They returned home and brought the coffee beans and Cocoa Beans over.
Li Xiang would not go back on his word. He paid Star Coins according to the weight of the goods. The acquisition was done cleanly and without any delay.
And immediately after obtaining a large batch of coffee beans and Cocoa Beans, he picked out all the Spirit Beans and planted them in the Starlight Shrine’s spiritual field.
With the spiritual spring water and the powerful life force from the Kunlun Tree, the Spirit Beans began to sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye after being planted. Seedlings emerged from the soil and reached half a person’s height in a moment. The growth rate seen with the naked eye was like a miracle.
However, it was only the first time that it could grow so quickly. After it reached a certain stage, it could only continue to grow as time passed. Of course, compared to the outside world, the speed of growth was many times faster.
Under the power of the Kunlun Tree, their growth rate would naturally increase.
“We’ve earned a lot from this deal! Just the Cocoa Beans and coffee beans alone are worth it. These are all Spirit Trees and spirit fruits. As long as they’re cultivated well, they’ll definitely exceed the past normal standard regardless of taste or effect.” Li Xiang was overjoyed.
The Spirit Fruit Tree was his favorite gain. He liked such kind of resource that could grow and sustain. Bit by bit, developing into a strong foundation. As long as given ample time, it could continuously create value.
The people in the Thousand Army Oasis indeed had many good resources in their hands.
Cocoa Beans, coffee beans, Crimson Blood Stones, Ice Stones, and some people even took out their cultivation techniques and combat skills for exchange.
That’s right, cultivation techniques and combat skills.
There weren’t many civilians who knew cultivation techniques, but there was still quite a handful. However, they kept them and didn’t spread them. Although most were common cultivation techniques and combat skills, there were occasionally some fine ones.
For example, the “Bright Moon Heavenly River Scripture” was obviously a top-grade cultivation technique. Li Xiang had seen it before. It not only contained the transcendent realm, but also the legendary realm and mythical realm cultivation techniques. It could be said that it was a complete cultivation technique.
Because once one reached the divine realm, there would be lesser use of cultivation techniques. The divine realm required one to comprehend Laws. The use of cultivation techniques was no longer as important. Comprehending Laws was the most important thing.
The number of Laws one comprehended and the depth of Law comprehension were the standards that determined one’s strength, not the level and exquisiteness of the cultivation techniques.
The person who had brought that cultivation technique was a legendary realm cultivator. He had exchanged it for a top-notch combat skill, a Mythical combat skill called “Full Moon Heavenly Blade”. That technique was a high-grade spoil of war that he had obtained after killing someone. There was an original version in the Kingdom of Dawn’s Library. The one in Li Xiang’s hands now was just a replica.
However, even if it was a replica, it still contained the corresponding Martial Arts True Intent, enough for one person to cultivate and comprehend.
If there were no Martial Arts True Intent, then the value of the so-called secret manual would be greatly reduced.
After the combat skill was recorded in the Scripture Library, not many people dared to cultivate it.
It was called Heavenly Blade but was full of demonic nature. It was a blade technique that went against the heavens. Once it was successfully cultivated, the blade technique would be so terrifying that it could cause a massacre that spread thousands of miles. Because of that blade technique, the cultivator reluctantly used his top cultivation technique to exchange for it.
…
Time passed by quietly.
A day had passed, and the resources traded were uncountable. The amount that had been purchased would be immediately replenished by the stall. The Tower of Stars always stored a massive amount of resources, so there was no need to worry about consumption. It could completely support long-term transactions.
Such a huge supply of goods shocked countless civilians in the vicinity. Still, at the same time, many people became more curious.
Unknowingly, some rumors begin to spread in the Thousand Army Oasis.
“Have you heard of a country called the Kingdom of Dawn beyond the Golden Desert? It’s a country established by our Human powerhouses. There are countless civilians inside, and it is extremely prosperous. All kinds of facilities are available. It’s like a paradise on earth. We don’t have to worry about going hungry or being attacked by fierce beasts. It’s a true paradise for the Human race.”
“It’s said that Mr.Li came from the Kingdom of Dawn. He has a way of leaving the Golden Desert and the ability to bring people into the Kingdom of Dawn. It will be great if we can go to the Kingdom of Dawn. Then we won’t have to live in fear every day.”
“If I can leave the desert and head to the Kingdom of Dawn, I’m willing to pay any price. The desert is too dangerous, and all kinds of resources are scarce. It is not suitable for survival at all. The Human race is constantly being attacked by foreign races, and the Red Vampire comes to the oasis from time to time to plunder humans as blood food. Who knows how many of our kind have died in the hands of foreign races!”
