"Are you wrong? Your father is also a large plane merchant at the Ether Plane Chamber of Commerce. Didn't he leave anything for you?" Lin Jia looked at Peter Pan, crying poorly, suspiciously.

"Lord, you don't know much about the survival form of our plane merchants. We are a creature that survives in the space between planes. Although we have the ability to teleport between planes, the restrictions are also very large. You may think that the profits that plane merchants can obtain when trading between planes are huge and huge profits."

Peter Pan had no choice but to spread his hands and explained: "But in fact, in order to survive, we have to constantly earn money or goods and the merchants to exchange for necessary materials for survival. So to put it simply, we plane merchants are running around to survive. Even the large plane merchants of the Ether Plane Chamber of Commerce, or even the plane merchants of the Star Plane Chamber of Commerce, can't have too much property to hoard and leave it to the next generation."

"To survive?" Lin Jia asked in confusion: "Don't your plane merchants have a long life span? What else do you need to maintain your life?"

"Yes, our plane merchants have a long lifespan. Compared with the upper limit of human lifespan of only 100 years, our plane merchants have an average lifespan of 10,000 years, but in the ether plane and the astral plane, it is actually a space that is not suitable for life to survive. Our plane merchants were born in spaces like the ether plane. From the day they were born, some energy in the ether plane eroded our bodies all the time until they were exhausted."

Peter Pan said helplessly: "The space outside our plane merchants, the ether planes, the shadow planes, and the astral planes are like the relationship between plants and the sun. The energy filled with the ether plane is like the light of the sun. Our survival cannot be separated from it, but excessive intake of that energy will harm our bodies, so we cannot completely escape from the ether plane and migrate to other planes to survive."

Lin Jia understood and nodded. To put it bluntly, the plane merchant, a creature born in the space outside the material plane, is like a special amphibious creature. They cannot do without "water", but they are always soaked in "water" and will be drowned again.

Lin Jia was not interested in the "energy" that plane merchants cannot do without but will be eroded. Instead, he was very interested in the "matter" that plane merchants kept making money to exchange for.

"Are you talking about the core of life?" Peter Pan thought for a while. Although this was the secret of the plane merchant, it was not impossible to tell Lin Jia, the main material plane lord who cooperated. After all, he would also involve this thing in the future. He thought for a little while and said: "Yes. We keep walking on various planes to obtain materials and money in order to exchange with the company for the core of life that extends our life."

Because of the special life form, although plane merchants have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, if they do not replenish the "core of life", they will be eroded by the "energy" in the ether plane for many years. Under normal circumstances, they can only live for 500 years and will die.

The ancient ancestors of the plane merchants accidentally discovered a substance called the "core of life", which can repair their bodies eroded by energy and extend their lifespan. However, this "core of life" is extremely precious and rare, and it is only controlled by a very small number of higher life and some powerful existences such as plane lords in the astral realm and some main material plane lords.

Plane merchants who do not have much combat power want to obtain this "Life Core", they have to work hard to use their talents that can be transmitted between planes, walk on planes of all sizes and earn a lot of materials and money, and exchange for the powerful existence of "Life Core" to get what they need.

If this is the case, it would be fine. Before the plane merchants could calm down from the joy of being able to live long, they discovered that although this "core of life" can prolong their lives, they are like drugs. Every time they take it, they can increase their abilities by one level. However, every increase of level will make their demand for "core of life" higher!

So they have to keep chasing and gaining more wealth in pain, in exchange for more quantity and higher quality "Life Core" to maintain their lives.

The survival mode of drinking poison to quench thirst has made the level of businessmen who are increasingly higher and higher, and cannot meet their needs by relying solely on the small vendors who walk around the streets and alleys. So it seems that the commercial organization of the plane chamber of commerce has emerged. The large plane merchants exchanged a large number of low-level "cores of life" through convenient trade channels to lure low-level "cores of life" to join their own chambers of commerce and businesses, and concentrate the materials they provide as their own property and then exchanged them for advanced "cores of life".

This kind of big fish eats small fish and small fish eats shrimps for a long time, and a large number of business businesses and chambers of commerce established by powerful large plane merchants have also been constantly integrated with each other in the cruel commercial competition, and finally formed the two plane merchant organizations, namely the "Ether Plane Chamber of Commerce" and the "Shadow Plane Chamber of Commerce", which are spread throughout the entire "Ether Plane" and "Shadow Plane". The "Astral Plane Chamber of Commerce" organized by the Star World Large Plane merchants who survived countless years of commercial competition and have been upgraded to an extremely high level.

With the formation of the plane chamber of commerce system, the conveniences that plane merchants gain in trade are getting higher and higher. They only need to work hard to continuously accumulate wealth in their own abilities. In exchange for the "core of life" needed to improve the "plane authority" from the higher level organizations, instead of like in ancient times. Even if they have enough wealth, it is difficult to find a seller with the "core of life".

So, although Peter Pan, a guy who is just the lowest level plane merchant, has been in business for thousands of years, why he still has not much assets? Its father, who has upgraded the plane authority to the large plane merchant, is only able to leave enough starting funds and memory inheritance for his descendants to inherit his bloodline. If there is more, there will be nothing left.

Peter Pan's father was very proud because he finally exhausted his property and failed to save enough materials to buy high-level "core of life" in time and then hang up, which led to the fact that Peter Pan was born from the hidden land of blood inheritance.

Lin Jia, who felt very magical about the plane merchant's method of inheriting the family lineage, only when his father was born with a son, sighed. It seemed that there was no way to get a gold coin from Peter Pan. However, the plane merchant's family planning policy, which only when one died was born, was not unreasonable. It reduced the business competitors in disguise and saved the consumption of the already rare "core of life" as much as possible.

"What's wrong with the level of the plane merchant?" Lin Jia thought that if he could not get funds from Peter Pan, it would be fine to borrow some from some large plane merchants through Peter Pan, so he asked about the level of the plane merchants again.

Peter Pan saw Lin Jia's idea and shook his head and said, "The level of our plane merchants appeared after the plane chambers were created. We call this level plane permissions. As mentioned before, although our plane merchants can teleport between planes, the limit is very large. Like me, who has only taken the lowest level 1 life core, and has just survived the upper limit of death for 500 years, but has not yet taken the advanced life core to improve their plane permissions. They can only teleport in some small plane worlds in the semi-plane, so they can only be considered a level 1 plane merchant!"

It took out a star pendant from the collar, opened it, and carefully handed it to Lin Jia: "This is the level 2 life core I have earned from having worked hard for almost 3,000 years. If I hadn't been poor now, I would have been able to take it to improve my plane permissions long ago. Some of the experiences of seniors tell us that if we don't have enough assets, we will rashly increase the plane permissions, which is very likely to speed up our own death."

Before Lin Jia could see clearly, the motor mule pull watch on his wrist suddenly heard an alarm from the x-central system: "Sir! Detect the highly concentrated inert energy crystal blocks that can be used at the base! Preliminary judgment is that it can be used for the base to operate for one week! Please recover quickly!"

Lin Jia and Peter Pan were both stunned. Lin Jia looked down at the small transparent crystal the size of a fingernail inlaid in the star-shaped pendant of Peter Pan, and looked up at Peter Pan in confusion: "Is this an inert energy crystal that replenishes the energy of the balance cabin?"

The green light that emerged from Lin Jia's eyes frightened Peter Pan quickly withdrew the pendant and covered it with both hands. Lin Jia looked at Peter Pan greedily. What is the concept of the base running for a full load for a week? Now, a base that can be filled with 100% energy by spending 20,000 gold coins. If it runs at full load, it will be exhausted in about an hour, and it will not be turned on some high-energy-consuming functions such as weapons and long-distance space flight.
