199: The fun of following the big guys

The moment the 10.5 million zhen crystal were taken out, Qingyang immediately gave Little Luan a look.

Seeing this, Little Luan directly took all ten million zhen crystal and returned to the Ge Xing Islands.

Watching Little Luan's disappearing figure, Qingyang then turned to the Eight Qi Evil Serpent and said.

"Helping you deal with the Kimchi Country is how we earn resources, but giving you these Fierce Beast flesh and blood is tantamount to cutting off our foundation.

After all, only by staying strong at all times can we rely on our own strength to earn resources again, right?"

After listening to Qingyang's words, the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's eight snake heads and sixteen vertical pupils simultaneously dimmed.

Obviously, his idea of buying these Fierce Beast flesh and blood had fallen through.

But at this moment, Qingyang suddenly changed the subject and said with difficulty again: "Sigh, who told us we are friends? I can sell you some, but there's one condition, the price must be increased."

On the beach, the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's mood was like a roller coaster, fluctuating wildly.

"Okay, some things, no matter how precious they are, always have a price, right? As long as the negotiation is appropriate, I am willing."

Looking at the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's impatient look, Qingyang's dragon mouth subtly curled up.

"Two million zhen crystal for one Fourteenth Tier Fierce Beast. You know, the current Fourteenth Tier is actually the ceiling of the entire Blue Star. They are not easy to kill."

Two million for a Fourteenth Tier Fierce Beast, the price was too inflated and simply not cost-effective.

But the Eight Qi Evil Serpent also had his own idea, which was that as long as he recovered from his injuries and forcefully broke through to the Fifteenth Tier, at that time, he wouldn't even need Qingyang and the others' help.

After all, the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's own combat power was already very formidable.

Therefore, some concessions in resource transactions in the early stage were acceptable.

"Okay, two million it is, but I have one condition: I only want Fourteenth Tier Fierce Beasts or Human powerhouses."

Qingyang could understand the Eight Qi Evil Serpent's request.

After all, the stronger the Humans and Fierce Beasts, the more energy their bodies contain, and the more condensed it is, which will also make it faster for absorption and increasing one's strength.

"Alright, then the five Fourteenth Tier Fierce Beast and Human corpses are yours. Here, boss, another ten million."

The main reason Qingyang agreed was that he had personally gone to the Inner Realm and stayed there for many years.

In the Inner Realm, only your own combat power matters. The stronger the combat power, the more highly you will be regarded, not the so-called realm.

It was precisely because of this that the current Qingyang has always let his partners prefer to advance slower and use zhen crystal to raise the upper limit of their combat power, rather than letting them purely and solely pursue realm by blindly advancing.

Qingyang didn't know if what he was doing was right, but based on the current situation, because Qingyang intentionally let most of his partners use zhen crystal, the combat power of the partners was indeed much stronger than that of the forces outside.

This is also why the saying, "There are no weaklings in the Ge Xing Islands," has been circulating outside.

Furthermore, the most crucial point is, if one only needs to break through to the Sixteenth Tier on Blue Star to directly become the so-called "Initial," then the combat power of the "Initial" would not be described so mystically in the Inner Realm.

Therefore, there is only one answer: becoming an "Initial" by entering the Inner Realm at the Sixteenth Tier might involve more complex matters that Qingyang is unaware of.

Little Luan returned to the Tsushima Strait in two days, and noticing the ten million zhen crystal next to Qingyang, she immediately cast an inquiring look at him.

Seeing this, Qingyang softly said: "Now, if your bloodline evolves one more time, it should reach the most peak Vermilion Bird bloodline, right?

Xuan Ming said last time that his bloodline has now reached the Burden-Bearing Gluttonous Turtle, and if it evolves one more time, it will also reach the most peak Black Tortoise bloodline among the Divine Beasts.

From today onwards, the two of you should focus on evolving your bloodlines. Your strength level can be put aside for now."

zhen crystal can mainly enhance bloodline and the upper limit of strength, but they contain very little energy, so relying on zhen crystal to increase one's realm would certainly be very difficult.

But out of complete trust in Qingyang, Little Luan did not ask why, and nodded without hesitation, agreeing to Qingyang's arrangement and saying.

"Okay, but there's one thing. If the two of us need to focus on zhen crystal, we might need a very, very large amount of zhen crystal. By 'very large,' I even suspect that all the zhen crystal on the entire Blue Star combined might not be enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qingyang suddenly raised his ferocious dragon head and instantly said with clear eyes: "That's it, yes, this is the difficulty that an 'Initial' should have, not just any Sixteenth Tier who goes down and becomes an 'Initial'."

After saying this, Qingyang immediately looked at Little Luan and said very solemnly.

"No, no, no, you don't understand the hidden strengths of the various forces on Blue Star. Their zhen crystal might be even more than you can imagine."

While speaking, Qingyang did not forget to look at the scene of the Eight Qi Evil Serpent in the distance, who was brutally devouring Fierce Beast flesh and blood.

Next, Qingyang continued to chat with Little Luan, asking her how many resources she roughly needed, while also starting to think about the path for his many partners.

From the recovery of heaven and earth until now, many Fierce Beasts and Humans with unstable foundations who wanted to forcefully break through have already exploded and died during their breakthroughs.

By now, any living being who has been able to advance to this point is a prodigy, someone whose original talent was already very profound.

For these powerhouses, perhaps the so-called unstable foundation is not a problem at all when it comes to advancement.

The only problem might just be the strength of their combat power.

Among the many partners in the Ge Xing Islands, Golden Pixiu is an anomaly and can be excluded. Apart from Golden Pixiu, if you observe carefully, you will find that at the same realm, Ba Qing's combat power is always the strongest.

During a casual chat, Qingyang asked Ba Qing about this, and Ba Qing's explanation was about his early advancement path.

Because zhen crystal were very scarce on Blue Star, all Fierce Beasts regarded this stuff as the most precious thing, and people would even fight fiercely for just thirty to fifty zhen crystal.

Ba Qing's own combat power was so formidable, yet he reached a point where his life force was almost gone. One can imagine how many zhen crystal this guy devoured and how many tough battles he fought back then.

As the saying goes, rarity makes things valuable. Nowadays, zhen crystal are relatively abundant on Blue Star, so these newly rising Humans and Fierce Beasts haven't even understood how precious zhen crystal are. They merely absorb them as weak energy, not understanding their true use.

Thinking of this, Qingyang's eyes immediately lit up, and he muttered to himself: "That's right, why should I only trade unilaterally? Can't I trade with all the forces on Blue Star, regardless of their strength?"
