Chapter 516: Ming Zun's Decision
"What should we do with the Fantian Flag?" asked the Yinzhi young man hesitantly.
"I will ask Biying from the Blood Sky Continent to do this. His divination ability is no less than Master Tong's, so you don't have to worry about it!" Ming Zun said lightly.
Hearing this, the two combined monks hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes!"
"With Lord Biying's help, everything should be fine!" Both of them thought to themselves.
As the chief deacon of the Helian Merchant Alliance in the Blood Sky Continent, Biying is also an extraordinary strong man and has a very high prestige in the Merchant Alliance.
"You two, go to the Feiling tribe again. This time, make sure to find out if there are any suspicious people who have left with the help of their teleportation array. Do you understand?" Ming Zun ordered.
Hearing this, the two combined monks immediately showed embarrassment on their faces: "But sir, that old ghost Yue Long is very stubborn. The last time we went there, he resolutely refused to let us check the transmission records!"
"Hmph, no matter how tough he is, can he be tougher than our Chamber of Commerce? Tell him that if the Chamber of Commerce cannot get any clues from the Feiling Clan, then the Feiling Clan will no longer have to exist!" Ming Zun's calm voice suddenly took on a hint of coldness.
Hearing this, the two business alliances shuddered and were secretly shocked. " Is Master Mingzun going to take action? With his strength, all the great masters of the Feiling clan combined would not be his opponent, right?"
Thinking of this, a sense of excitement suddenly arose in the hearts of the two.
"I will go to the Mayfly Tribe and discuss with them about entering Luohou's body to find out the truth. The Mayfly Tribe is not far from the Feiling Tribe. If those old guys of the Feiling Tribe make things difficult for you, you must crush this jade talisman immediately and I will appear immediately!" Ming Zun said, and with a flick of his hand, two streams of light flew to the hands of the two members of the Merchant Alliance.
"We will follow your orders, sir!" The two business alliances joined together and said respectfully.
Mingzun's tough attitude immediately made the two men realize that the Chamber of Commerce was really going to take real action this time.
This shows that the Fantian Flag is extremely important to the Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of which, although the Helian Merchant Alliance possesses more than one Xuantian treasure, the complete version of the Fantian Flag is definitely the best among them.
The only thing that can rank higher than the Fantian Flag is the Yinjun Heavenly Book.
Before the appearance of the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd, this Xuantian treasure was the highest-ranked Xuantian treasure still remaining in the spiritual world.
For the current Helian Business Alliance, the best way to increase its strength is to put together a complete version of the Fantian Flag.
Although the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd is very good, there are too many super clans eyeing this Xuantian treasure, and the Helian Merchant Alliance is not sure enough that they can get it.
The alliance of the Sea King Clan and the Horned Chi Clan was coming in full force and was already heading towards the Fengyuan Continent. With the strength of the Helian Merchant Alliance alone, he could not deal with the alliance of these two super clans.
Therefore, the Helian Merchant Alliance did not have high expectations for the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd. They placed more chips on the Fantian Flag.
Once the complete version of the Fantian Flag is obtained, the strength of the Helian Merchant Alliance will immediately increase dramatically. After all, the Fantian Flag is ranked as high as ninth.
Other super clans in the spiritual world, such as the Sea King Clan and the Mo Yue Clan, do not possess Xuantian treasures that rank as high as this one.
The Merchant Alliance attaches so much importance to the Fantian Flag, so the Feiling Clan should not dare to play any tricks this time. For a medium-sized clan like this to compete with the Merchant Alliance is like hitting a rock with an egg.
The two combined monks left excitedly, but the red-haired old man stood there motionless, looking extremely silent.
His brows were furrowed, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes: "Two mysterious treasures appeared in a short period of time. Is the spirit world going to enter a troubled time again?"
"The last time this happened was a million years ago. I hope that such a devastating catastrophe won't happen again!"
He sighed deeply, then flicked his sleeves and his figure gradually disappeared.
While the Helian Merchant Alliance was searching intensively for the whereabouts of the Xuantian treasure, Ye Changsheng was practicing quietly in a cave in Yuncheng.
He has only one kind of elixir that can improve his magic power in the late stage of Lianxu, and that is the Lianyuan Pill he got from Qing Yuanzi.
However, although there is only this one, it is enough. After all, this Yuan Dan is useful for cultivators who have achieved the fusion stage.
With just this kind of elixir, it would not be difficult to advance Ye Changsheng's magic power to the peak level of refining emptiness.
Of course, he did not sit in the cave all the time to practice this time. Instead, he often opened the cave to communicate and discuss with some of the refining cultivators from the thirteen Tianyun clans who came to visit him, and followed them to participate in some underground trade fairs.
Of course, Ye Changsheng would not miss any of the Yuncheng auctions held every ten years. Each auction was jointly held by four of the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun, so it was also called the Four Clans Auction.
However, after participating in several auctions in succession, Ye Changsheng found that the treasures brought out at these auctions were really limited. It was nothing like the one Han Li attended, where a large number of various precious resources were put on display.
Ye Changsheng thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. The time Han Li participated was probably because the Jiao Chi tribe was attacking the city. In order to boost morale, the leaders of the Tianyun tribes released many things that were rarely seen in normal times.
Even the precious elixir that assists in breaking through the fusion, the Wan Miao Pill, was released. It was rare for the four clans' auctions to release some elixirs of the Refining Void level.
Ye Changsheng has released a lot of elixirs in succession at these auctions, and each time they became the finale of the auction.
Seeing this, he simply packaged himself as a master alchemist, and continuously released various types of virtual-refining-level elixirs among the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun to make money for himself.
Gradually, after he released more and more pills, he gradually gained some fame in Yuncheng, and was even valued by some of the combined cultivators from the Tianyun clans.
Over the years, a number of old monsters have come to visit Ye Changsheng. These people either wanted Ye Changsheng to help them refine some kind of elixir, or simply came to win him over and want him to join a certain tribe as a guest official.
Ye Changsheng naturally rejected this kind of attempt to win over others, but he did not refuse those people's request for his help in refining pills and readily agreed.
While helping them to refine pills, Ye Changsheng also took this opportunity to improve his own alchemy skills.
Helping these people to refine the elixir also caused some trouble to Ye Changsheng's practice, but Ye Changsheng did not do this for nothing.
Every time someone came to him for help, he would make a request and ask the other party to agree to something, which could be collecting certain materials or finding out certain information.
Ye Changsheng took this opportunity to get a lot of benefits from those fusion cultivators, and exchanged many things in the list of materials that Qing Yuanzi gave him from these people.
Of course, Ye Changsheng did not forget to make a request to the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun, asking him to borrow the tribe's cross-continental teleportation array once in a few years.
After coming out of Guanghan Realm, he will use this formation to leave Leiming Continent and return to the human race.
It is definitely not enough to just dig out spirit stones with the help of the inter-continental teleportation array, we also have to help the Tianyun tribes complete various tasks.
However, after Ye Changsheng became known as the master of alchemy, the conditions that the Tianyun tribes put forward to him were basically alchemy.
After helping their various tribes to refine some medicinal pills, Ye Changsheng also successfully obtained a teleportation quota. As long as he wanted to teleport, he could use the tribe's cross-continental teleportation array at any time.
After completing this task, he also solved a future problem. Next, he only needed to follow the method planned in advance and take away the opportunities on the Thunder Continent one by one and then he could leave.
In this way, Ye Changsheng slowly practiced for another one hundred and twenty years, and finally pushed his magic power to the peak level of refining emptiness.
At the same time, during these 120 years, he also obtained as many as 7 billion spirit stones through various trade fairs and auctions.
Of course, after all the consumption, not much of these spirit stones remained. He needed to consume spirit stones for cultivation, various replications, and most importantly, cultivating mature gold-eating bugs.
One hundred and twenty years later, the total number of spirit stones in his hands was only 2 billion, but at the same time the total number of mature gold-eating bugs reached 85,000.
At this point, you can directly try to cultivate the Half-Insect King.
However, Ye Changsheng was not in a hurry. He planned to cultivate the Half-Insect King after coming out of the Guanghan Realm. Before that, he would try his best to cultivate all the gold-eating insects into mature forms.
After all, Ye Changsheng also knew that no matter what, all these gold-eating insects had to be ripened in the future, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate a real insect king.
Although according to the theory of the Mayfly Clan, 10,000 mature gold-eating beetles are enough to cultivate a gold-eating beetle king, this is only the Mayfly Clan's speculation.
After all, the Mayfly Clan has not really cultivated an Insect King, not even a half-Insect King. Naturally, they don't know the specific circumstances of cultivating an Insect King, and therefore their speculations are biased.
However, Ye Changsheng knew clearly that in the original book, when Han Li cultivated the gold-eating bug king, he smashed all the mature gold-eating bugs into it before he cultivated three half-bug kings.
Ye Changsheng has more gold-eating bugs in his hands than Han Li in the original novel, but even so, he has a vague premonition that when he cultivates the Insect King in the future, all these gold-eating bugs will have to be smashed into it.
I think that the insect king that has devoured tens of thousands of gold-eating insects may be stronger than the one Han Li had in the original book.
In other words, he had to cultivate all the gold-eating bugs to maturity. In this case, there was not much difference between ripening them early or late.
After realizing that his magic power could not be further improved and that the next step could only be a breakthrough to the fusion stage, Ye Changsheng stopped his retreat and practice.
He sat in the training room, took out a map and examined it carefully.
After a moment, his gaze rested on a corner of the map and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It is already at the edge of the map, outside the Thunder Continent, in a sea area.
In this sea area, there are a large number of islands of various sizes, and one of the island groups is marked with the words "Fire Coral Islands".
Looking at this sign, Ye Changsheng smiled and said to himself: "Junior Brother Han, I will wait for you here!"
As he spoke, Ye Changsheng put away the map, stood up and walked outside. After cleaning out his cave, he left Yuncheng and quietly came to the edge of the Thunder Continent, close to the ocean.
Then, with the help of the teleportation ability of the Sky Phoenix Wings, he teleported continuously in a certain direction in the sea.
This time, they were waiting for Han Li's arrival.
Ye Changsheng went to wait for Han Li, naturally not because he and Han Li really had any deep friendship as fellow disciples.
But it was because he was planning to take something from Han Li.
According to his memory, Han Li would suffer a blood sacrifice from the Jiaochi and Haiwang tribes in the Feiling tribe, and the Xuantian treasure was discovered.
Then, at the critical moment, the Xuantian treasure absorbed most of his essence and blood, barely breaking through the space, allowing him to travel an infinite distance and directly come to the Fire Coral Islands near the Thunder Continent.
On that island, Han Li was in a coma for a while.
This is naturally Ye Changsheng's opportunity, and he can take the opportunity to analyze the small green bottle and the spiritual version of the green liquid.
Of course, Ye Changsheng couldn't be sure whether Han Li in this life would fall on the Fire Coral Islands as he did in the original time and space.
After all, with his appearance in this world, the trajectory of time and space has undergone significant changes.
The Xuantian treasure on Han Li's body was no longer the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword, but had turned into the Xuantian Qi-Transforming Gourd.
In fact, Ye Changsheng cannot be 100% sure that the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd was made by Han Li. Although his possibility is the greatest, there is still a chance of that happening.
If Han Li had not obtained the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd, he might not have come to the Thunder Continent.
Ye Changsheng had no idea what situation Han Li was in now. He didn't know whether Han Li's fate would continue to run the same way as in the original time and space.
From his own point of view, he still hoped that Han Li's fate would not change much, so that he could wait and see on the Fire Coral Islands.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if it changes. I can just think of it as waiting here for decades in vain. It’s not a big loss anyway.
"If Han Li had not fallen on the Fire Coral Islands, he would not have been able to use the nearby teleportation array to go to the Thunder Continent, nor would he have been able to obtain the Guanghan Order to enter Cloud City. In this case, the trajectory of his fate would have changed dramatically!"
“So, if Han Li wants to enter the Guanghan Realm, the place where he falls must be the Fire Coral Islands! It depends on how great the inertia of the space-time trajectory of this world is!” Ye Changsheng thought secretly in his heart.
