After seeing Zhou Yan, the beautiful and dignified elf queen Aimeila sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's good to finally see you. You are truly a busy person."
He vaguely remembered that "Your Majesty" was a name he had told Aimeila.
This was good, saving him the trouble of forgetting which name he had used.
"Elf Queen, I sincerely apologize. I have indeed been too busy recently, which has greatly reduced the time I can spend seeing you. Did one of my subordinates offend you, Your Majesty, to the point where you must see me?" Zhou Yan inquired.
Upon hearing this, the Elf Queen shook her head and replied, "Not at all. It's just that there are some important items that I wish to trade with you personally."
Zhou Yan responded, "Of course, if you are truly uneasy, you can trade higher-value items with me separately. However, my time is indeed very limited. Besides trading precious items, I'm afraid I cannot come here often."
He was not lying about this. He now had to study, manage his territory, develop it, and cultivate at night.
He genuinely did not have much time to visit here frequently.
"That is natural. I also do not have much time to stay here. I only come to the trading market when trading precious items," the Elf Queen Aimeila said, fully understanding. As an Elf Queen, her affairs were far more numerous than Zhou Yan's.
Nine-tenths of all the timber in his territory came from here, so he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with Aimeila. Hearing that the items for this trade were very precious, he was very curious and asked, "May I know what you are trading with me this time, Your Majesty?"
"I have acquired a considerable amount of high-grade timber in the real world. I believe these materials will be of great use to you," Aimeila replied.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty is truly thoughtful. I happen to be in need of a batch of high-grade timber. This batch of materials has come at the most opportune time."
"Oh, and I also found a few rather interesting items. I wonder if you are interested," the Elf Queen asked.
"Of course, I am interested. As long as they are peculiar items, I am very willing to purchase them. You need not doubt this," Zhou Yan replied quickly.
Without further ado, the Elf Queen produced three items and offered them to Zhou Yan for inspection.
Zhou Yan was very curious. The glow from these three items was already extraordinary, indicating they were good items. He clicked to examine the first one.
[Item: Blessing Bag of the Elf God]
[Quality: SSS]
[Description: You can randomly obtain one item from this. It is also possible to get nothing. It all depends on your luck.]
Seeing this item, Zhou Yan was greatly surprised. This thing was like gambling. As long as it was not opened, anything was possible. After opening it, everything would depend on luck.
He would definitely buy this item. It was an SSS-quality item, and combined with his luck attribute and various territory bonuses, it was unlikely to yield anything subpar.
He then looked at the second item.
It was something resembling a half-broken branch, but its glow was extraordinary, filled with a powerful life fluctuation. He was astonished and quickly checked its attributes.
[Item: Degenerated Core of the Tree of Life]
[Quality: R]
[Description: Even though it has lost most of its life essence, it can still bring the dead back to life.]
Seeing Zhou Yan examining the second item, Aimeila quickly said, "This is the core root formed after a very ancient Tree of Life reached its end and degenerated. Even without its vast life essence, it can still bring the dead back to life if used as medicine."
This was definitely a good item, equivalent to an extra life. He had to buy it no matter what.
These two items alone were already extremely precious. No wonder the Elf Queen insisted on trading with him in person.
"Let me examine the last item," Zhou Yan began to inspect the third item.
[Item: Elf Fruit Seed]
[Quality: S]
[Description: If you possess a piece of pure land, you can cultivate Elf Fruits.]
The Elf Queen said, "This Elf Fruit seed is the highest quality seed I have ever found. I believe you know how difficult it is for a seed to reach S quality. Out of hundreds of millions of Elf Fruit trees, perhaps not one can yield a high-grade tree species."
The Elf Queen was correct. High-grade fruit trees were far more precious than others.
Moreover, Elf Fruits were a very good commodity. In many worlds, they were priced very highly. In his trades with the Elf Queen, there were already many Elf Fruits.
If he planted this seed in his territory's [Spiritual Field], coupled with the effect of the Spiritual Spring, it would undoubtedly grow very quickly.
He had to buy these three items. His only worry was that the other party might not accept spirit coins, which would be problematic.
"May I know how much you wish to sell these three items for, Your Majesty?" Zhou Yan asked directly.
Aimeila was also straightforward and replied, "Because I am trading with you, I have developed the Elf Realm very well. For these three items, just give me one hundred billion spirit coins."
"One hundred billion!"
Zhou Yan was extremely surprised.
It was not because the price was too high.
On the contrary, the price she quoted was very low.
The value of the [Degenerated Core of the Tree of Life] alone was not something that could be bought for one hundred billion.
If one hundred billion spirit coins could buy a life, he would buy it infinitely.
But that was not the case. Therefore, he knew this was a friendly price offered by the Elf Queen, and her sincerity this time was immense. He truly hadn't expected the Elf Queen to be so sincere.
He expressed his gratitude: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will always be your friend, and we will continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship."
"Our trades have always been pleasant, and I hope to maintain them for a long time," Aimeila replied.
"That is natural."
Zhou Yan transferred one hundred billion spirit coins to her and obtained the three items.
The true value of these three items was definitely not something that could be bought for one hundred billion spirit coins.
As the supreme leader of a world, the Elf Queen could naturally obtain more good things. Trading with her only brought benefits and no drawbacks.
Afterward, the Elf Queen traded many seven-star, eight-star, and even nine-star timbers with him.
These timbers were too precious, and only the Elf Queen possessed such capital.
"The relationship between our Elf Realm and the Dark Elves has been deteriorating recently. There might be a major war in the near future. I hope you can provide me with more equipment support," the Elf Queen Aimeila said unexpectedly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan suddenly understood why the Elf Queen had sold those three items to him for one hundred billion spirit coins.
The Elf Queen must have been worried that if he cooperated with the Dark Elves, she would be the one to suffer.
Unfortunately, Aimeila would never know that he was not from the Elf Realm at all. If she hadn't mentioned it herself, he wouldn't have even known that there were Dark Elves in the Elf Realm.
"Elf Queen, please rest assured. We have recently increased our production of equipment, all of which can be used by Elf warriors. I will have my subordinates come over to trade later. The quantity is not a problem."
He naturally wasn't worried about not having enough equipment; it all depended on how much she needed.
As for other trades, both parties agreed to delegate them to their subordinates. They would only be responsible for trading items of greater value.
He agreed with this. If he had to personally trade for everything from every world, he would be overwhelmed.
"It has been a pleasure trading with you. I look forward to our next transaction. I have matters to attend to and cannot stay to chat," the Elf Queen said with sudden urgency, indicating that something major must have happened in the Elf Realm.
"Please go about your business. I also have my own matters to attend to."
Seeing the Elf Queen's urgency, Zhou Yan knew she had something pressing.
After they concluded their trades, the Elf Queen immediately went offline.
He also began to leave the area, looking for a secluded spot to teleport back.
