New Age Of Summoners

The fruit was pitch-black in colour and it was around the size of an adult human head.

Soon, Ajax took the fruit from Nightmare Fiend's shadowy hands that came out of its black-coloured fur.

'Ding,

Item Name: Nightmare Fruit.

Item Grade: High-level legend grade.

Effect: After eating it, the consumer will fall into a deep sleep and enter a nightmare world. No matter how much time the user spends inside the nightmare, only one minute will pass in the real world.

Note: 1) Inside the nightmare world, everything is an illusion.

2) No matter how much the consumer's cultivation rises in the nightmare world, his cultivation would remain the same.

3) The same applies to the cultivator's laws and souls, skills and techniques. The increase in the levels of any existing laws, souls, skills and techniques would remain the same.

Additional Information: The only thing that can be brought back from the nightmare world is the newly awakened cultivator's laws, skills or techniques.

Note: Anything that is newly learned in the nightmare world would be started from level 1.

Even before Ajax could appraise the information on the item, the system had already sent a holographic screen that was filled with information on the fruit.

'Th..this is…'

Ajax was shocked by the information he saw about the fruit in his hands.

Even though he can increase his cultivation or skills or techniques or anything using this fruit, he could awaken new skills or cultivator's law or anything that could be awakened.

He felt it was as valuable as an opportunity to enter the Floating Island.

'If I die in the nightmare world, I will just wake up from my sleep; however, dying on the Floating Island will be the real death for me.'

After comparing them closely, Ajax felt the Nightmare Fruit was much more valuable than the opportunity to enter the floating island.

Even though he might not get any powerful treasures or heaven-defying cultivation resources, he would be safe and could learn some new skills and techniques along with the cultivator's laws and souls without risking his life.

"Fine. Let's sign the deal."

After adjusting a few more terms and conditions to their deal, they finalized the deal.

Since they wanted to be in good books with Ajax, they paid the trader's tokens in advance. Moreover, the Nightmare Fiend directly gave the Nightmare Fruit to Ajax.

"Let's meet during the next auction."

Since this auction house in the low-level trading realm would host an auction every month, they set their next meeting on the same day.

On that day, no matter what, Ajax had to give them a smaller world core each; otherwise, Ajax had to repay 100 times of 15 million trader tokens that the other party paid him in advance.

That would be equivalent to 1.5 billion trader tokens.

Even though the amount seemed astronomical, it was not a bid amount for an Emperor realm cultivator as he could repay that much within a century with interest and the trader's realm commission.

"Okay."

Soon, they exited the special trader's chamber as Ajax bid goodbye to the Nightmare Fiend and the Jade Dragonling.

…..

'Another 30 million trader tokens are added to my account, making 132 million trader tokens. Now, I can freely buy whatever I want from the mid-level trader's realm.'

After coming out of the auction house, Ajax was excited, checking his account balance.

Even though he said he would buy whatever he wanted, Ajax had enough restraints on himself and he also knew what he really needed from the mid-level trader's realm.

With that thought in mind, Ajax

...

The trader's realm was classified into three levels, low-level, mid-level and high-level respectively.

In the low-level trader's realm, heaven-grade items are everywhere and legend-grade items would be available in specific stores.

However finding the high-level legend grade items in the stores is almost impossible because the moment any high-level legend grade items appear in these stores, they would be bought by the auction house and auctioned off.

However, in the mid-level trader's realm, there would be no Heaven grade items and the lowest grade of the items would be low-level legend grade that is available in all stores.

Even high-level legend-grade items could be bought from the stores.

However, if someone wants to buy mythical grade items, they have to participate in the auction because it is illegal to sell the mythical grade items through the stores.

'I want to enter the mid-level trader's realm; however, I don't know how.'

Ajax checked his surroundings trying to find a way to the mid-level trader's realm.

'Swoosh'

As he was checking his surroundings to find a way into the mid-level trader's realm, the young spirit from before appeared in front of his eyes.

"Respected trader, do you want to enter the mid-level trader's realm?"

As soon as she appeared, she respectfully bowed to Ajax and asked in a polite tone.

"Yes, I want to enter the mid-level trader's realm."

Since Ajax's trader's rank has been upgraded after selling a smaller world core and buying the plant essence, Leo could enter the mid-level trader's realm without any issue.

Even Leo knew about it. Hence, when the young female spirit asked him whether he wanted to enter the mid-level realm, Ajax nodded his head without any hesitation.

"Let's go."

The young female spirit flew forward and lightly held Ajax's hand and soon, they disappeared from that location.

…

'Swoosh'

Soon, they appeared in front of a huge gate that was guarded by two Emperor realm cultivators.

'So, this is the entrance to the mid-level trader's realm. It's marvellous.'

There was no need to explain much about it as Ajax could tell that it was the entrance to the mid-level trader's realm and he was shocked to see two emperor realm cultivators guarding the entrance.

In the Purple stone world, an Emperor realm cultivator is an omnipotent existence; however, in the trader's realm, they were working as the guards for a mid-level trader's realm.

"Respected Trader, you can pass through that gate and enter the mid-level trader's realm. Happy trading."

On the other hand, the young female spirit that brought him here bid him goodbye before disappearing without a trace.

'I hope I can find a good source of the Plant essence.'

Even though he had traded a normal world core in the auction house to buy the 100 units of the plant essence, Ajax was willing to pay anything as long as he got the plant essence.

Since he needed the Soul nourishing tree to help his father recover from his soul injuries and regenerate a new body, the plant essence was an essential item for him.

'Even though the normal world core is a valuable thing, I can easily get it in ten days; however, the plant essence is not something I can get it so easily.'

Without wasting any time, Ajax walked toward the mid-level trader's realm.

"Welcome to the mid-level trader's realm, Respected Trader."

Seeing Ajax walk towards the gate, the two emperor realm guards who were guarding the entrance bowed to Ajax and respectfully welcomed him.

"..."

Ajax didn't know what to say to them because they were the emperor realm cultivators. So, he revealed a casual smile and passed through the gate.

After walking through the gate, Ajax followed the single path and soon reached a place that had around 10 huge stores.

"Welcome, respected trader. What are you looking for?"

"My store has a 50 percent discount on the second item you buy. Come and buy it."

"My store sells all types of weapons."

"You can find almost all the pills from the thousands of words in my store."

"Are you looking for a powerful spirit beast to assist you in the battles? Then you need to check out the spirit beasts I have stored in my store."

The moment Ajax entered that alley, the servants from those ten stores rushed forward and asked him to enter their store.

Even though there were other traders, no one bothered them and only forced Ajax because he was a newly entered trader and they wanted to make him buy as many things as possible.

"Looks like the noob is going to buy so many unnecessary things."

"Let's bet on how much he would be scammed."

"I bet 100 million trader tokens that he would be scammed 10 million trader tokens for sure."

Seeing Ajax get swarmed by the servants from all the stores, the old traders started betting on how much Ajax would get scammed by those stores.

"I am looking for Plant Essence. Do you have it?"

Even though Ajax was swarmed, he was strong enough to stop them as he asked them whether they have any Plant Essence.

"No. The plant essence can only be found in the high-level trader's realm; however, from time to time, it will be auctioned off in the mid-level auction house."

One of the store servants informed Ajax as he asked, "So, what else are you willing to buy?"

"Oh."

Ajax had already expected that his chances of finding the plant essence were low. So, he was not disappointed by it as much as he said, "I want BattleShip that could travel to other worlds."

After thinking for a moment, Ajax replied to the other item he was interested in buying.

If he can buy a good battleship, Ajax could travel to the other worlds with it and increase his collection of the smaller world cores even faster.

"You came to the right place. I have a…."

"Leave him alone if you don't want your stores to be smashed by me."

Suddenly, a voice came from the distance that made everyone around Ajax shiver in fear.

However, Ajax felt he had heard a familiar voice and turned his head to see a familiar face.
