Do our best!
Hunchback Tian’s pupils suddenly contracted when he heard those words. He looked at Lu Li with envy and jealousy. The small world shouldn’t be big, yet, no matter how small it was, it was still a world.
The most critical thing was that the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth here was so profound. Numerous treasured materials could be nurtured here. Ye Xiaoxi was only of 11 or 12 years old, but she had already reached the Soul Pond Realm. Needless to say, since she was a kid, she had been eating treasured materials as daily food…
Now, all of these were Lu Li’s to enjoy? How many resources would Lu Li have? How many Xuan Crystals would he be able to get from them? It was beyond imagination.
Lu Li was excited as well. He swallowed some saliva and said, "Clan Leader Ye, thank you very much. However, I am not powerful enough. I am afraid that I will let you down."
"It’s okay!"
Ye Sai answered with certainty, "Saint Lord is picked by our ancestor. We will not blame you even if in the end you cannot lead our two races back to our ancestral ground. It’s okay as long as you have done your best and have our two races on your mind."
"Okay!"
With that said, Lu Li felt the pressure was off for a bit. Anyways, Lu Li had everything to gain and nothing to lose now. He could consider the rest of the matter later on. If he could help out the two races, he would definitely do it. When he was bequeathed with some help, he would return with even more generous favors.
"Coo, coo~"
Hunchback Tian swallowed some saliva. He nervously asked, "Clan Leader Ye, do you have any Mystical Materials for casting Fate Wheel?"
Ye Cha glanced over to Hunchback Tian and casually said, "Yes. I have enough to condense Fate Wheel for hundreds of times."
Hunchback Tian became excited at once. He looked at Lu Li, clearly signaling Lu Li to get some materials for him. He wanted to attempt to reach the Fate Wheel Realm now.
Lu Li directly ignored Hunchback Tian’s stares. In the woods, Hunchback Tian abandoned Lu Li and ran off by himself. Lu Li was still holding a grudge. Wanting Lu Li to get him Mystical Materials, Hunchback Tian was dreaming! Lu Li was even considering asking Hunchback Tian to leave after they got out.
Ye Cha glanced over to Lu Li and then to Hunchback Tian. He seemed to have some understanding of the situation. He looked at Hunchback Tian with a faint smile on his face and said, "You have attempted for many times, haven’t you? The Primordial Qi in your body has been damaged. You cannot build the Fate Wheel in this lifetime even if you were given endless materials."
"Ah?" Hunchback Tian’s expressions changed, and his eyes flickered. He said with cupped fists, "Please give me some guidance, Clan Leader Ye."
"No need." Ye Cha smiled gently and said, "If I am to help you, you can cast a Fate Wheel in three days."
"Boom!"
It was as if a clap of thunder exploded in Hunchback Tian’s head. His old body trembled so much that he almost knelt down to Ye Cha. Hunchback Tian stood up and said with his hands clasped in front of his chest, "Please help me Clan Leader Ye. I will embalm the immense grace of the Cyan Phoenix Race and I will never forget it for my entire life."
"It is of no use to beg me."
Ye Cha waved hand. He looked at a Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race and said, "Brother Three, show him out for the moment please. I will have some words with our Saint Lord."
A Patriarch made an inviting gesture. Hunchback Tian looked at Lu Li nervously. The latter, however, paid no attention to the former. Hunchback Tian had to leave following the Patriarch.
"Saint Lord!"
After Hunchback Tian left, Ye Cha looked at Lu Li and said, "What is the Hunchback Tian’s role to you, Saint Lord? Do you need me to help him?"
"No!"
Lu Li rolled his eyes and said, "He is an ungrateful soul. I was almost killed in the woods by Xuan Beasts and he left without me. What is the use of this kind of man?"
Ye Cha could tell that Lu Li was not happy about Hunchback Tian. He thought about it and said, "How about this? I will implant some Soul Worms in Hunchback Tian’s head. He then will obey you completely. Then I will help him to build Fate Wheel. When you leave, you will be safer to have a Fate Wheel Realm warrior to protect your safety. After all, we cannot leave now."
"Soul Worm?" Lu Li’s eyes flickered and he replied, "I don’t think it’s okay…"
If he was implanted with Soul Worm, Hunchback Tian would turn into a slave like the Green Dwarfs. It was not a big deal if he were of an alien race, but Lu Li felt it cruel to do it to a fellow human being.
Ye Cha smiled without saying anything. Instead, he sent someone to ask Hunchback Tian to come back in. After Hunchback Tian came in, Ye Cha came straight to the point, "Hunchback Tian, I can help you reach the Fate Wheel Realm and I even can give you endless Mystical Materials for you to get to the higher realms. If you can make it, we can help you to get to the peak of the Eternal Realm."
"Ah?"
Hunchback Tian felt the happiness had come as a surprise. He felt the impulse to get down to his knees. Ye Cha coldly smiled and said, "Don’t thank me so fast. I have my conditions."
Hunchback Tian nodded and said, "Please state it, Clan Leader Ye."
Ye Cha pointed to Lu Li and said, "I will implant Soul Worms in you and you have to serve my Saint Lord for 100 years. After 100 years, you can have your freedom back. I will not force you. It’s your choice to make."
"Soul Worms?"
Hunchback Tian shouted in surprise. He was scared out of instinct. If he had Soul Worms inside him, his life and death would be controlled by others completely. Many powerful warriors would rather die than being implanted with Soul Worms.
"Okay!"
Hunchback Tian just considered for the time for a few breaths before he made up his mind. He didn’t have much time left. He was going to die of old age if he did not make it to the Fate Wheel Realm.
If he could cast one Fate Wheel, he could get another 500 years of life. Two meant 1000 years of life. To serve 100 years for Lu Li as a slave would be nothing comparatively speaking…
Also, the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race were practically Lu Li’s entourages now. To serve Lu Li now would not be so humiliating.
"Eh?"
Lu Li never expected that Hunchback Tian would agree so quickly. Lu Li was speechless. After all, if Hunchback Tian was implanted with Soul Worm, he would follow Lu Li’s orders completely. Lu Li’s safety would be guaranteed with a Fate Wheel Realm slave with him.
"Brother Three!"
Ye Cha said to an old man and said, "Go and help him to build a Fate Wheel first. Use a Heaven Serpent Fruit. Implant Soul Worms in him immediately after the Fate Wheel is built. If he dares to resist, just kill him."
"Heaven Serpent Fruit, you have the Heaven Serpent Fruit?"
Hunchback Tian understood why Ye Cha said he could help to build the Fate Wheel at once. Heaven Serpent Fruit was the top level elixir in building Fate Wheel. The possibility of successfully casting a Fate Wheel with this kind of elixir could reach more than 80%. Hunchback Tian had always wanted to buy the Heaven Serpent Fruit, but it was priceless…
"Go!"
Patriarch Three coldly said. Hunchback Tian left with him happily. Seeing the expressions of Hunchback Tian, Lu Li asked with curiosity, "Clan Leader Ye, what is Heaven Serpent Fruit?"
"A rare Mystical Material."
Ye Cha explained, "The fruits are actually normally seen in the Central Plains, but not so many in the Northern Desert since the place is close to the north and the weather is cold. The fruits are miraculous in building Fate Wheel. The chance of successfully casting a Fate Wheel with the help of this fruit will reach 80%. The fruits are a kind of cherished elixir even in the Central Plains."
Lu Li posed a follow-up question, "Priceless… so what is the price?"
Ye Cha thought about it and said, "I don’t know about the situation outside. In the old days, if the fruits were sold at the Northern Desert, the price at auctions would be 40 or 50 million Xuan Crystals for one."
"40 or 50 million?"
Lu Li felt like he could see a mountain of Xuan Crystals in front of his eyes. He had seen Xuan Crystals. If he could sell the Fire Fairy Lucid Ganoderma and Nether World Roots at a good price, he could earn several millions of Xuan Crystals a year. But one Heaven Serpent Fruit would be worth 40 or 50 million Xuan Crystals? He was freaked out.
"This is nothing."
Ye Cha waved his hand and said, "The Heaven Serpent Fruit can only increase the possibility of casting Fate Wheel. The Rising Dragon Grass is more valuable. One plant of Rising Dragon Grass can be worth about 800 million or one billion Xuan Crystals at auctions even in the Central Plains. The Rising Dragon Grass can increase the possibility to cast Fate Bead. One of the Mystical Materials we are in want of here is the Rising Dragon Grass."
"800 million or one billion Xuan Crystals…"
Words escaped his mind. He once again felt the importance of being in a family or a force. How could one warrior get so many Xuan Crystals and how could one person afford so many treasured Mystical Materials?
This was just one Mystical Material to breakthrough to the Noble Lord Realm. What would be the price of the Mystical Materials needed to reach the Human Sovereign Realm? Several or tens of billions?
And how many Mystical Materials would be needed to cultivate to the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm?
Unimaginable.
