After a bout of dizzying spins, Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes and looked around.

The sight that met his eyes was that of decrepit shops on both sides, revealing a dilapidated main street about three hundred yards long.

Having been away for decades, the long street was more desolate than before, and the atmosphere even more forlorn.

Zhao Sheng gazed forward, seeing only over a dozen figures; there were only three stalls selling treasures.

However, aside from the Human Clan, there appeared a member of the Alien Race here, a One-eyed Giant nearly three yards tall. His upper body was bare, while the lower was cloaked in a skirt made of countless beast skins stitched together, beside him lay a large stone rod as thick as a barrel and more than four yards long. The rod's surface was covered in ethereal blue crystalline metal, emitting a dazzling starlit blue glow, appearing to be no ordinary item.

This One-eyed Giant had an extraordinarily ugly appearance, with gray-brown skin, a pancake-like face devoid of features, save for a large fist-sized red vertical eye in the center of his brow, and a massive bloodthirsty mouth with protruding fangs, menacing and terrifying.

Undoubtedly, the One-eyed Giant had become the most eye-catching "cub" on this street, with everyone's gaze deliberately or unintentionally sweeping over this brute.

Perhaps due to a naturally rough and reckless nature.

The One-eyed Giant cared not for the surrounding gazes, carelessly lounging on the ground, in front of him lay a sleek gray-white leather, upon which many treasures were piled haphazardly, mostly spirit ores, aged Spiritual Medicines, along with demon cores, bones, scale armor, beast skins, and other spirit materials from various demon beasts.

At this moment, Zhao Zongze approached, sizing up the One-eyed Giant tens of yards away from the corner of his eye, while softly asking, "Master, what... what kind of monster is that?"

"Don't be alarmed! Although the Human Clan is supreme in All Universes, the bizarre and peculiar Alien Races are too numerous to count. After visiting the Burial Immortal Ruins more frequently, you'll grow accustomed to it," Zhao Sheng replied with a composed demeanor.

After speaking, his eyes focused, suddenly heading toward the One-eyed Giant.

Zhao Zongze, seeing this, hastily followed behind his master, cautiously surveying the surroundings and everyone present.

Zhao Sheng shortly arrived before the Giant's stall, squatting down to inspect the heap of primitive spirit materials, then pointed at the stone rod, asking, "How can this be traded?"

"Things, not for trade!" The One-eyed Giant seemingly having never interacted with an Alien Race, responded in a very stiff tone.

However, Zhao Sheng "heard" a hint of nervousness, thus casually pointed at a piece of sky-blue Jade Marrow, and asked once more, "How about... this?"

"Ten blocks...no, twenty...twenty blocks of Spirit Jade of this size." The One-eyed Giant stammered, retrieving from his leather skirt an egg-sized Mid-grade Spirit Stone with a gentle, jade-white surface. This block's grade reached the realm of Mid-grade Spirit Stone but far from the top-grade.

Zhao Sheng observed, feeling confident, contemplated momentarily then produced a top-grade Spirit Stone the size of a fist, indicating, "I'll exchange this quality of Spirit Jade for your item. But it must include this blue stone rod. Name your price!"

Since he produced the top-grade Spirit Stone, the One-eyed Giant hadn't taken his vertical eye off it for a second, revealing extreme desire coupled with a glint of ferocity.

Yet as Zhao Sheng subtly unleashed his own Will Field, the ferocity in the Giant's eye instantly vanished, replaced by a look of reverence, clearly understanding the pursuit of benefits and avoidance of harm.

"...The Star Gold Stick is Jie's weapon. At least worth a hundred top-grade Spirit Jades. A piece this large requires at least thirty pieces."

The One-eyed Giant eventually relented, but still quoted a "sky-high price" he deemed fit.

Zhao Sheng, uninterested in bargaining, directly drew thirty top-grade Spirit Stones, placing them before the Giant, then adeptly embraced the Geng Metal Pillar, storing it within the Sumeru Space.

Witnessing the sudden disappearance of the Star Gold Stone Stick, not only did the One-eyed Giant find himself shocked, even those silently watching were equally astounded.

It must be said, the traversers mingling on Gray Mountain street were largely inexperienced.

Although most storage-type treasures couldn't be used on the street, there were always peculiar objects that ignored the rules of Immortal Heaven.

In the Endless Tower, Zhao Sheng observed two types of innate space containers. For instance, the eyes of an empty-eyed beast inherently capable of accommodating worldly possessions, the longer it lived, the larger the eye space grew.

Also, the Big Belly Bag woven from Ai Lao Grass, another innate Storage Bag requires merely stretching open the bag's mouth to shove things inside. The legendary highest quality Big Belly Bag can accommodate an entire Constant Sand World.

Once the two moved away, the One-eyed Giant hurriedly rolled up his stall, instantly logging off to his realm.

"Master, what is this object? Why did you insist on purchasing it even with thirty blocks of top-grade Spirit Stones." Zhao Zongze puzzled over his master's decision, feeling the deal somewhat undervalued.

"The Black Sand Realm lacks a single Innate Geng Metal spirit mine, so you can't be blamed for not recognizing this object. All you need to know is that Innate Geng Metal ranks alongside Innate Gold Essence as a Heaven and Earth Strange Object of the same grade."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zongze suddenly understood. The Black Sand Realm produces Innate Gold Essence abundantly, and he naturally knew how rare and precious Innate Gold Essence was.

Back when the Zhao Family initially rose during those arduous years, it was fortuitous to discover a single Geng Metal spirit mine, allowing the Zhao Family's overall strength to rapidly rise over decades, ultimately escaping obliteration by the Southern Border's Great Beast Horde.
