Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Resource Exchange

Duke nodded to Caroline and stepped through the slowly opening door engraved with complex runes, pausing slightly at the sight that greeted him. Instead of the expected warehouse or display racks, before his eyes was a vast sea of stars composed of pure energy. Countless points of light, some bright, some dim, floated in the boundless void, each representing a resource available for exchange - materials, potions, knowledge, and even some secret information. The spatial sense inside the hall was distorted and enlarged by magic, making it appear deep and vast. The ground beneath his feet was a semi-transparent crystal stone, and upon stepping on it, a clear guiding light path automatically appeared, leading him to different areas. A spiritual power message directly sounded in Duke's mind: "Level one Arcanist Duke, welcome to the resource exchange space of the Arcane Master Association. Your current available points: 181. Please choose the category of resources you wish to browse according to the guidance: materials, knowledge, permissions."
