Ch 518: A Lion’s Share
Liu Dongyue looked at Ji Yunlang with a disappointed in someone’s lack of progress expression.
“To think that merely Two States’ Territory could redeem their Demon Saint? There is no such good Matter. Broaden your Vision a bit, and arrange the layout more expansively.”
Ji Yunlang was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, “Old Ancestor, what do you mean?”
“Two States are not enough. Make them take out twenty Spirit Treasures, ten Spirit Treasure Trees, five thousand jin of Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir…”
One Thing after another was spoken from Liu Dongyue’s mouth as if he was reciting the names of dishes.
Ji Yunlang, as if he hadn’t noticed anything, was immediately stunned in place, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Good heavens!
At this moment, only one thought remained in Ji Yunlang’s mind: the Old Ancestor’s appetite is really too big.
So big that he dared not imagine it.
Twenty Spirit Treasures are fine, the Iron Bone Ape Tribe, such a Top Tribe, shouldn’t be unable to produce even this little Thing.
But the Things behind it cannot simply be measured with Silver, because without exception, they are all extremely precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and are only available to the Iron Bone Ape Tribe.
For example, the Spirit Treasure Tree bears Fruit every three years, and a tree can bear at most less than ten Fruit, and the Fruit it bears is the main Materials for Refining the Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill. After taking the Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill, the progress of Cultivate will be greatly accelerated.
Even people with mediocre Talent can experience the joy of a Heavenly Prodigy in a short period of time after taking the Pill.
The price of the Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill on the market is also very expensive. One Pill costs at least One Million Taels, and the supply falls short of demand. Sometimes you can’t even buy it even if you want to.
And as a Spirit Treasure Tree that can supply Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pills for a long time, it is naturally an even more precious existence, belonging to the Supreme Treasure of the Iron Bone Ape Tribe.
As for the Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir, it is a Spirit Wine passed down through generations of the Iron Bone Ape Tribe.
It is brewed with thousands of Spirit Fruit plus a large number of auxiliary Materials. The Materials required for brewing alone are worth a Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill, and the Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir is not so easy to brew. It also needs to absorb Moonlight essence. It takes nearly ten years to successfully brew it. Even if it is successfully brewed once, there will only be a total of one thousand jin .
The Refining process is so complicated and cumbersome that the effect of the Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir far exceeds that of the Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill. It can not only increase the progress of Cultivate a hundred times, but also enhance one’s Affinity for Heaven and Earth True Qi.
This kind of precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is not sold on the market at all, it is just used by the Iron Bone Ape Tribe for their own use.
These two Things are heaven-defying enough, not to mention that the Old Ancestor also mentioned several other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Ji Yunlang took a deep breath and asked cautiously: “Old Ancestor, if we really say that, will they disagree?”
The Old Ancestor is simply asking for an exorbitant price.
He specifically aimed at the vitals of the Iron Bone Ape Tribe, enough to make them bleed heavily once.
However, in this way, he was a little worried that the Iron Bone Ape Tribe would choose to refuse.
“Disagree? Then let Yuan Baishan stay here all the time. By the way, let people from other Tribes see how little the Iron Bone Ape Tribe values their Old Ancestor, just leaving him here to dry.”
Liu Dongyue smiled lightly and said indifferently.
With Martial Uncle’s advice, he is now full of confidence.
Just like what Martial Uncle said in the letter, negotiation is originally about slowly boiling a frog in warm water, except that their Penglai Demon Race is the warm water, while the Iron Bone Ape Tribe is the frog.
No matter how hot the warm water is, it will not cause any damage. On the contrary, the frog will gradually be unable to hold on.
Merely Two States’ Territory cannot satisfy his appetite at all. After all, the Benefit of those Two States is not even comparable to one State under his control, and he still has to put in effort to take care of it.
It’s better to directly make a big profit from the Iron Bone Ape Tribe.
Seeing Liu Dongyue’s confident look, Ji Yunlang stopped talking, and finally nodded in agreement.
“Old Ancestor, I will take care of this Matter immediately.”
Although he is the Clan Leader, Major Event like the Demon Saint still needs to be discussed by the Old Ancestor.
What’s more, this Demon Saint Yuan Baishan was originally captured by the Old Ancestor, and the final decision should be made by the Old Ancestor.
Under Ji Yunlang’s instructions, the Conditions required to redeem the Demon Saint Yuan Baishan were soon conveyed to the Corroding Moon Kingdom, to the Iron Bone Ape Demon Tribe.
“The Penglai Demon Race must be crazy to ask for so many Things!”
When the Clan Leader Yuan Yushu heard that redeeming their Old Ancestor not only required ten Spirit Treasure Trees, but also five thousand jin of Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Then his eyes went black, and he almost fainted.
This is not asking for Compensation, it is simply taking half of his Iron Bone Ape Tribe’s life!
You must know that they only have a total of thirty Spirit Treasure Trees, such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, within their Tribe. As for the Thousand Drunk Moon Elixir, although they have been brewing it all these years, they have also been consuming it for the use of their clansmen. Now, at most, there are less than ten thousand jin left, but the Penglai Demon Race is asking for five thousand jin .
Not to mention several other Things.
Are they treating them as wholesalers?
“Clan Leader, this Matter must not be agreed to. If we agree, our Tribe may not have enough resources for the next few decades!”
“Yes, Clan Leader, the Request made by the Penglai Demon Race is too excessive. If we agree, what if the other party makes even more excessive Requests?”
“Anyway, this Matter must not be accepted. We must lower the price with them, otherwise it is really too much!”
“…”
A group of Elders from the Iron Bone Ape Tribe drooped their faces and refused the Penglai Demon Race’s Request without saying a word.
They can give Two States’ Territory, but forget about the other Things.
Because once this is done, it is equivalent to shaking the foundation of their Tribe. This Bandit behavior is not only to rob them, but even to smash the well where they drink water and the bowl where they eat.
“I know.”
Yuan Yushu frowned, feeling quite irritable.
Just because he trusted a piece of information, the clansmen of their Iron Bone Ape Tribe suffered heavy losses, and even the Demon Saint was detained. The other party also asked for an exorbitant price, demanding them to pay a painful price.
At this moment, he deeply regretted choosing to take action against the Four States of the Xuan Luo Kingdom. If it weren’t for this Matter, the situation would not have become so embarrassing now.
But the Matter cannot be undone, and we must find a way to remedy it.
The Old Ancestor must be redeemed. The Old Ancestor is the spiritual pillar of their Iron Bone Ape Tribe and must not fall, and must return safely.
But the Penglai Demon Race’s Request is really too high, so high that they cannot bear it at all.
Instantly, he entered a dilemma.
Yuan Yushu was silent, frantically thinking about a Countermeasure in his mind.
Under the anxious gazes of a group of Elders.
Yuan Yushu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, “It seems that we can only ask the Myriad Demon Alliance to take action in this Matter.”
