184: We must win!

“That is the moxiang flower.”

As if noticing Jiang Yuan's gaze, the leading Human Clan youth smiled and said to Jiang Yuan and his companions.

Jiang Yuan nodded: “So, where we are going now is our Human Clan Gathering Place?”

“That's right. Every race will have a gathering place. This is also to facilitate the snatching of heavenly material and earthly treasure, or rather, that moxiang flower.”

After the Human Clan youth finished speaking, Shi Ji, who was beside him, was a little confused: “In that case, are we fighting individually or collectively?”

“If it's collective combat, then after we snatch the moxiang flower, whose will it be?”

“Whoever snatches it, it belongs to them.”

The Human Clan youth looked at Shi Ji with admiration: “You could say it's collective combat, or you could say it's individual combat.”

“We gather together simply to look out for each other, so we don't get outnumbered by other races.”

“I see.”

After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan understood and nodded, they passed through the camps of several races and arrived at the Human Clan Gathering Place.

“Welcome, newcomers.”

As soon as Jiang Yuan and his companions arrived, someone appeared and welcomed them.

“Let me introduce myself. I am Li Shouming, the temporary leader of this Human Clan Gathering Place, and I am ranked third among the second-year students of Martial Arts Academy.”

“Ranked third!”

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan both looked at Li Shouming with some surprise.

Among the Four Top Academies, those ranked highly in each year are all favored children of heaven.

They hadn't expected to encounter a genius from another top academy here today.

“What about you? Won't you introduce yourselves?”

Li Shouming looked at Jiang Yuan and his companions, seemingly very pleased with the surprise in their eyes.

“Zhongyuan Academy second-year student, Jiang Yuan.”

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Mu Qianshan gave Jiang Yuan a strange look, then also spoke.

“Zhongyuan Academy second-year student, ranked five hundred, Mu Qianshan.”

Although Mu Qianshan didn't know why Jiang Yuan hadn't stated his ranking in Zhongyuan Academy.

However, he still stated his ranking as Li Shouming had just introduced himself.

Even if it was just an approximate one.

“Zhongyuan Academy, Shi Ji.”

“Zhongyuan Academy, Nezha.”

After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Shi Ji and Nezha also spoke.

Li Shouming's gaze lingered on Shi Ji for a moment, then he looked at Jiang Yuan and his companions and smiled.

“In that case, please come in first. There are still some empty spaces over there that you can choose as your temporary residence.”

Although Jiang Yuan and his companions hadn't stated their rankings in Zhongyuan Academy, this didn't affect Li Shouming's high regard for them.

Putting everything else aside, just their identity as students of the Four Top Academies was enough to prove their strength.

Even if he hadn't stated his ranking in the academy, just by looking at their strength, one could tell they were at least in the top two hundred.

Among the Four Top Academies, although the strength rankings of various professions varied, their general strengths were not far off.

In their academy, those at Xuan Xiao Late Stage strength were roughly ranked in the top two hundred.

It was likely the same in Zhongyuan Academy.

“Okay.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, he followed the Human Clan youth who had just led them in, walking towards that empty space.

They also saw many Human Clan members sitting in the gathering place, looking at them with some curiosity.

The number of Human Clan seemed to be not many, even with Jiang Yuan and his companions, there were only a little over twenty in total.

However, the people of other races didn't seem to be very numerous either.

Just like the Elementals they had just seen.

Several Elemental races gathered together also numbered only a little over twenty people.

However, although the number of people from each race was not large, when the people from so many races were added together, there were quite a few people here now.

Are they all here to snatch the moxiang flower?

Jiang Yuan was a little confused.

If that were truly the case, the probability of snatching the moxiang flower would be much smaller.

However, although the moxiang flower is a red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, there's no need for so many people to snatch it, is there?

However, what Jiang Yuan didn't know was that this group of people really were here to snatch the moxiang flower.

Compared to the purple zenith ancient ginseng, the greatest benefit of the moxiang flower was that it had no usage restrictions.

Moreover, it was a red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

Whether it's heavenly material and earthly treasure or cards, white quality is the most common and most abundant, and blue quality is also quite common.

But starting from purple quality, both cards and heavenly material and earthly treasure become rare.

According to strength, those at the First to Third Realms often use white quality and blue quality cards.

Those at the Fourth to Sixth Realms normally use blue quality and purple quality cards.

Those at the Seventh to Ninth Realms normally use purple quality and red quality cards.

Those at the Tenth to Twelfth Realms normally use red quality and gold quality cards.

But the problem is, the higher the quality of the card, the rarer it is.

Most Tenth and Eleventh Realm users still primarily use red quality cards.

Only a small number of true geniuses can possess a gold quality card at the Tenth or Eleventh Realm.

And even for geniuses of this caliber, it requires a certain amount of luck to obtain a gold quality card.

The higher the card quality, the greater the difficulty of crafting it.

Difficult-to-find crafting materials and high crafting difficulty are why cards of higher quality are rarer.

Similarly, the same applies to heavenly material and earthly treasure.

If purple quality purple zenith ancient ginseng could only cause small-scale contention, then a heavenly material and earthly treasure like the moxiang flower, which has no usage restrictions, would undoubtedly attract most of the races present in the dongtian secret treasure to contend for it, especially when the dongtian secret treasure has not yet erupted.

“When do you think this moxiang flower will mature?”

After Jiang Yuan and his companions arrived at the open space, they quickly took out tents from their Backpack Cards and set them up.

After entering the tent, Mu Qianshan also asked Jiang Yuan with some curiosity.

Jiang Yuan looked at Mu Qianshan speechlessly: “How would I know that?”

The maturation of heavenly material and earthly treasure has no specific characteristics.

Everyone only knows that heavenly material and earthly treasure will only appear when they are about to mature; before that, they are basically in a hidden state.

Of course, a hidden state doesn't mean they can't be found.

Just like this moxiang flower, it grows within the mountain.

If you can shatter the mountain, there's also a chance you might find a moxiang flower still in its growth period.

However, obviously, few people would do this.

After all, when destroying a mountain, there's a high probability of destroying the heavenly material and earthly treasure as well.

Even if you're lucky and don't successfully destroy the heavenly material and earthly treasure, allowing a heavenly material and earthly treasure in its growth period to be exposed.

You still can't pick it, because heavenly material and earthly treasure can only be picked after it matures.

Picking it at any other time will directly destroy the heavenly material and earthly treasure.

“Oh, right.”

Mu Qianshan shook his head, and Jiang Yuan also rubbed his forehead helplessly at the sight.

Mu Qianshan was sometimes like this, prone to his mind wandering.

Generally speaking, this situation would occur after a period of high mental tension, when he relaxed.

In his words, it was a self-protection mechanism.

Jiang Yuan didn't quite understand, but it wasn't a big problem; he would instantly get back into state whenever he was needed.

“Those newcomers are also from top academies. Does that mean our Human Clan's chances of getting the moxiang flower will increase?”

At the same time, in a large tent on the other side, ten Human Clan youths were also discussing.

As they spoke, they looked at Li Shouming, who was seated at the top.

“Speaking of which, what if they obtain the moxiang flower and want to use it themselves?”

One of them looked at Li Shouming and asked with some concern.

“These two days, while the moxiang flower hasn't fully matured yet, go and ask if they intend to use it themselves. If they do…”

Li Shouming also fell silent as he spoke.

He had money, but if they truly wouldn't sell, there was nothing he could do.

“Forget it, just tell them directly. Say that if they obtain the moxiang flower, I am willing to buy it directly with money.”

“Or they can choose to use cards as payment.” Li Shouming shook his head slightly, then instantly made a decision.

Instead of secretly inquiring and trying to lower the price, it was better to directly express his determination to them.

That way, whether they sold it or not would be their business.

“Alright then, I'll get in touch with them these two days.”

After Li Shouming finished speaking, the Human Clan youth who had just led Jiang Yuan and his companions to the Human Clan Gathering Place spoke up.

“Hmm, thank you for your trouble.”

Li Shouming nodded, feeling a little melancholic in his heart.

Compared to others, he truly needed this moxiang flower very much.

When others obtained the moxiang flower, after using it, it was basically used to enhance their innate abilities, body strength, or soul power.

But if he obtained the moxiang flower, his family knew there was someone who could create the [Flower Scent Vow] card.

[Flower Scent Vow]: After the card is used, it gains a layer of soul power around the user's soul to protect the user's soul from mental attacks of the same quality and realm.

Its effect was similar to Shi Ji's [Unbreakable Stone Will] skill, but it didn't have active attack capabilities.

And precisely because of this, he was eager to obtain the moxiang flower.

Such an opportunity was truly a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

If one wanted to buy a moxiang flower outside, it was simply priceless.

Even with money, it didn't mean you could buy it whenever you wanted.

And now, encountering it in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

He could only say that he was indeed the Child of Destiny.

It was too coincidental, a heavenly material and earthly treasure that appeared precisely according to his situation.

That's why he wanted to obtain this opportunity even more.

The crowd in the large tent gradually dispersed, and Li Shouming's eyes also calmed down.

There was no use in panicking now.

He had already convinced the few people from earlier; if they obtained the moxiang flower, they would sell it to him.

As for those who arrived today, including Jiang Yuan, he hadn't had time to talk to them yet.

However, he needed to get all of them on board.

Their Human Clan was considered a top-ranked race among the Ten Thousand Races.

With over twenty of them, and no knowing if more people would arrive later.

He thought the chances of obtaining the moxiang flower were also very high.

He needed to come up with a plan.

In the large tent, Li Shouming's expression changed, but no one else saw this scene.

...

...

Night fell, and after Jiang Yuan and his companions finished their meal, they also saw the Human Clan youth who had led them earlier coming to find them.

“I haven't had a chance to introduce myself yet. Hello, my name is Li Sineng, and I am a second-year student at Qingshan Academy.” The Human Clan youth who had led them during the day said to Jiang Yuan and his companions with a smile.

Qingshan Academy?

Jiang Yuan's heart stirred. Qingshan Academy was also considered a first-rate academy.

However, why was he looking for him now?

Jiang Yuan nodded. Being a bit socially anxious, he didn't know what to say now.

However, at this moment, Mu Qianshan had already stepped forward.

“Qingshan Academy? A great academy! I didn't expect you to be a student from that academy.”

“Oh, no, no, it can't compare to Zhongyuan Academy.”

When Li Sineng heard Mu Qianshan's words, a happy smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

The two complimented each other and exchanged pleasantries for a couple of sentences before Li Sineng got to the point.

“To be honest, I was entrusted by someone to come and find you.”

“Go on?”

Seeing Li Sineng's apologetic expression, Mu Qianshan rolled his eyes inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he said to Li Sineng.

“It's like this: Li Shouming, our current temporary leader of the Human Clan, really wants the moxiang flower.”

“So?”

Shi Ji, beside Jiang Yuan, raised an eyebrow and asked Li Sineng.

“His meaning is that if you can obtain the moxiang flower, he can buy it with money or with material cards.” Li Sineng smiled at Jiang Yuan and then said.

He could naturally tell that Jiang Yuan was the leader among these few people.

Although he hadn't spoken much just now, the subconscious look Mu Qianshan gave Jiang Yuan after he spoke proved it.

The one among them who could make decisions should be Jiang Yuan.

“It's not impossible. It just depends on how much sincerity he can show then.”

To be honest, Jiang Yuan didn't have much of a strong desire for the moxiang flower.

Of course, it wasn't about whether he could obtain it.

He still really wanted the moxiang flower.

However, if he couldn't get it, he wouldn't be too disappointed either.

After all, the moxiang flower's improvement for him was indeed not much.

But if he could exchange the moxiang flower for more card-making materials, that would be even better.

“Really?!”

Li Sineng was a little surprised: “Don't worry, Li Shouming's family is very rich; they will definitely be able to meet your demands.”

Recalling Li Shouming's warning to him before he came, Li Sineng also made a bold promise.

Anyway, Li Shouming had indicated that as long as they could obtain the moxiang flower, even if the other party made an exorbitant demand, as long as it could be met, it would be met.

For the moxiang flower, even being taken advantage of was acceptable!

This opportunity must not be missed!

“Alright, then it's settled.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, Li Sineng then bid farewell with a smile.

He still had to go back and tell Li Shouming the good news.

“Is he so sure that we can obtain the moxiang flower?” After Li Sineng left, Mu Qianshan then asked Jiang Yuan with some curiosity.

“Rather than saying he's sure we can obtain the moxiang flower, it's more like they're casting a wide net.”

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Sineng's retreating figure and said with a slight sigh.

“However, does the moxiang flower have any other effects we don't know about? Why would he choose to pay such a high price, even directly stating that he would obtain it at all costs?”

Mu Qianshan was a little curious. Who would negotiate a price by directly telling the other party they had no bottom line, and to just make an exorbitant demand?
