803 A Huge Sacrifice! (1/2)
Through the thorough explanation of the vine civilization's female cultivator, Ling Shan, Wang Baole's eyes grew wide, and he couldn't help but inhale. Taking a close look at the burly female cultivator in front of him, he mumbled, ”You can do that?”
Wang Baole felt that he had widened his horizons. Simply put, the only way for one to exchange for plant stones was for them to leave their bloodline within the vine civilization. Because the vine civilization was a matriarchal society, they were very persistent in looking for bloodlines. They searched for the bloodlines of all outstanding organisms within the universe and incorporated them into their own civilization, thereby causing their civilization to continuously develop, evolve, and achieve their maximum potential.
Although Wang Baole saw this method as somewhat primitive, since the vine civilization had Eternal Star realm mighty figures, it was obvious that it was on a much higher level compared to the Federation. So, Wang Baole had no right to comment much. He could only sigh with emotion while thinking that, with the vastness of the universe and its uncountable amounts of different types of civilizations, many paths of progression that outsiders would struggle to understand would be formed.
It was just that… after Wang Baole asked for the prices thoroughly, he looked at the jade slip in his hand and realized that to exchange for an amount of resources that he would find satisfactory, he required at least hundreds of thousands of plant stones…
Even if he reduced his requirements and lowered all of his needs to the bare minimum, he would still need around ten thousand plant stones. If that was the case… the difficulty of obtaining materials would be increased infinitely. That was because a normal life essence could only be exchanged for one plant stone.
”So, are you interested in a trade deal with the vine civilization?” After telling Wang Baole everything he wanted to know, Ling Shan swept her gaze towards Wang Baole while speaking with her eyes full of anticipation.
But after she finished speaking, Wang Baole wasn't given a chance to reply before her expression suddenly changed as though she was listening to something. It was as though a mighty figure had sent her a voice transmission. At the same time, Wang Baole also felt a gaze that came from the cosmos sweep across his body thoroughly.
When Wang Baole became fearful, Ling Shan's expression changed to one of disappointment. When she lay her gaze upon Wang Baole's body again, she shook her head and sighed.
”Fellow Daoist, your body is more special… I'm afraid you're unable to meet our requirements.” After speaking tactfully, Ling Shan looked towards Little Wu, who kept his head down from the start and seemed to be hiding beside Wang Baole. When she did so, her eyes shone brightly.
Once Ling Shan spoke, Little Wu's expression changed completely. Wang Baole also had his eyes grow wide.
”Daddy, save me…” Little Wu's body trembled, and he was about to cry. Wang Baole also felt very displeased in his heart. He knew his condition and guessed that the Eternal Star realm mighty figure should have more or less noticed that his body now wasn't his true flesh body. That was why Ling Shan spoke in that manner just now. However, he still felt that he was beaten by someone in a certain aspect.
Humph, this is because my flesh body isn't here. If it was, I think this vine civilization would quote a price of ten thousand plant stones in exchange for a portion of life essence. After all, I'm the Federation President, Junior Brother of Chen Qing, and the only Dark Child of this generation! Thinking in this way, pride spread in Wang Baole's heart as he suppressed his indignance somewhat. Afterwards, he started analyzing Ling Shan's words. His eyes also gradually lit up as he looked at Little Wu while shaking his head instinctively.
”No!”
Hearing that, Little Wu was immediately moved. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly thought that his daddy treated him well after all…
But just as he thought that, Wang Baole's words entered his ears.
”This foster son of mine has an incredibly huge background. He is the prince of the Black Earth Empire and is a direct descendant with an extremely pure bloodline. One plant stone isn't enough, there must at least be five!”
”Daddy, don't be like this, I'm still a child!” Hearing Wang Baole's words change, Little Wu felt almost all of his hair stand on end. Many memories of what he heard regarding the vine civilization in his homeland previously appeared in his mind. As his hair stood on end, he instinctively tried to escape.
But Wang Baole was faster. In an instant, he neared Little Wu and pressed on his shoulder. A genial smile appeared on his face. It also expressed anticipation and happiness.
”Little Wu, didn't you say you had 100 thousand concubines at first? This small thing now is nothing to be worried about. I don't need you to use all the power you used to conquer 100 thousand concubines. You just need to use 10% of that power. Go and obtain 100 thousand plant stones for me.”
