Chapter 230: Group Discussion
Qing Ling, the representative of the Divine Beasts, went around negotiating: "Fellow Daoist Hong from Duobao Pavilion, if you need a spot, we can give you one. But it must be a demon. When the teleportation begins, it must transform into its original form and cling to the contractor. If it is placed in a storage bag, the Spirit Beast bag cannot be opened until the first planet reaches the exchange hall."
"But for those who have already contracted a spirit beast, just put it in the spirit beast bag and carry it with you. I heard that this won't have any impact."
"Rumor has it that a trial participant has contracted nine demonic beasts to wreak havoc. As long as your spiritual sense is strong enough and you're not worried about being turned into a fool by the numerous demonic beasts, feel free to do as you please!"
"He was able to contract nine demon beasts, so at least six of them were slave beasts. His divine sense could suppress six powerful slave beasts. He must be a great man who had reincarnated and cultivated again. Otherwise, one would be good enough."
This is all the information Qing Ling got from chatting privately with Feng Yan. Now I'm telling it to everyone as a warning.
Among human cultivators, the beast tribe generally cooperates with these top forces, with Leiyin Temple being the leader. It is not because they are the strongest, but because they generally do not lie, making it easy for both sides to be convinced.
Qing Heng: "Yuantong, try your best to choose the strongest fighters. All of your powerful factions have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. You can always find some snippets of information at the Hundred Star Trial Field. The survival rate of those who participated in the trials in the past has never exceeded 50%. If that's all you can do, choose those who are nearing the end of their lifespan."
"Now let's break down the list of materials for construction. In this trial field, you can exchange points for foreign items. There aren't any special specialties that exist in our interface and can be exchanged for points. Here's the list, everyone, take a look. If some items don't have the amount of points they can be exchanged for, that's because we haven't found out."
He gestured to Qing Ling and continued, "According to the agreement, our divine beasts will provide the core of the formation, and you will provide the materials. This is reasonable, but if we don't provide the materials, I guess we really won't be able to gather many of them."
"Then let's divide these things according to their value in spirit stones. You get 80% and we get 20%. As for the specialties that are unique to the demon clan's territory, you can convert them into spirit stones or pills to pay."
The Master of Duobao Pavilion said: "If we can't make eight, we'll try our best to make seven. We at Duobao Pavilion control the entire flow of treasures. This is the bottom line."
Qing Heng proposed a solution: "We should also go to the Immortal Demon Battlefield to try our luck, collect materials, and improve our strength."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Finally, the Duobao Pavilion Master did some mental calculations: "Immortal materials must be obtained in the Trial Field. As for these, our interface doesn't have them at all, so we have to obtain them outside. Only a little over 60% is left. We do have them in our interface, but we're not sure if the quantity is enough."
He picked up another form and said, "We'll collect some of the items in here and exchange them for points at the Trial Field, which will then be exchanged for the materials needed to build the Ascension Pathway. This will only take up 10% of the materials. The remaining 50% are all materials above level 5. We have to empty the warehouses of various factions, and we don't know if it will be enough."
Qing Ling: "You must have the affiliated forces provide a proportional contribution. Once we have built the passage, we will erect a monument recording the contribution values of all forces and individuals. In the future, anyone who ascends will be grateful and pay a usage fee. This will not only make up for the losses, but also accumulate more merit."
At this point, everyone felt a little better and could barely accept it. Tian Yanzong asked, "Does the earth-type divine beast have the ability to find mineral veins? If you find a high-level mineral vein in the Hundred Star Trial Field, purify it, and bring it with you to the Exchange Hall and put it in the storage ring, you can reduce the difference in exchange points. This purposeful search can be faster."
Bai Ran: "How can an earth-type divine beast have that ability? At most, it can burrow faster. I will go to the rat tribe to find a treasure-hunting rat to be a temporary contracted beast. I will cancel the contract after I come back."
He said this while looking at the ball, and everyone saw the importance of the captain from the rules list and nodded in agreement.
After that, they discussed many issues in detail, but most of them were not agreed upon. Qiuqiu thought of the past when one side was in trouble and all sides came to support it, so he said to the master of Duobao Pavilion:
"Can we make a joint statement on the Duobao Jade, announce the materials for building the teleportation array, and start accepting donations within a hundred years? The materials needed can be purchased on Duobao Pavilion using donated spirit stones. This way, we will accumulate a lot over the next few hundred years. Of course, our nine factions will also supervise each other and take the lead."
"For example, Taixu Sect's Danfeng refines 10,000 third-grade soul-replenishing pills and entrusts Duobao Pavilion to sell them. Each pill is sold for 1,000 spirit stones. Duobao Pavilion only charges 10 spirit stones for storage, and Taixu Sect only charges 900 spirit stones for the cost. For every remaining pill sold, 90 spirit stones will be donated to the construction of the ascension channel."
"For individuals, if the items they are consigning are worth more than a hundred spirit stones, they have to donate one spirit stone. Over the years, this is an astonishing number. Of course, there are rumors that making contributions and accumulating merit will improve one's luck."
"Duobao Pavilion needs to set up a counter like this in each branch. It will be staffed by a Duobao Pavilion staff member, and jointly managed by a cultivator from the other eight major factions. This time span is too long to properly manage and supervise."
The master of Duobao Pavilion carefully calculated and said, "If this goes smoothly, within two hundred years, we can get rid of about 30% of the total value."
Seeing Qiuqiu's dissatisfied look, he explained, "The materials for constructing the Ascension Channel are too precious. Many of them are out of stock. They are the best materials for refining magic weapons. This 30% is only based on the total value. If we remove those that are not available in this world and only consider the current production, if we increase the contribution, we can basically break even in two hundred years. Of course, your sects are the main contributors. If we can't gather the materials, we will use the donated spirit stones to purchase the spiritual materials at a fair price."
Bai Ran: "We are just a barren cultivation world on Mount Everest. The Hundred Star Trial Field is composed of one hundred resource-rich planets, ten of which produce immortal materials. If we have a storage bag, we can fill it up there in a hundred years. It should be enough for us to build an ascension channel."
Qiuqiu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had a space, but the level of the space was low. She didn't know if it could be opened when she got there. It would be great if it could be opened.
Qing Ling: "There are dumb monsters everywhere. They are very powerful and it's hard to survive there. You can't do whatever you want."
A group of clan leaders and patriarchs were discussing the details of the joint statement, while the supreme elders were discussing how to enter the trial field, how to accumulate more points, and who to form a contract with so that the two sides could complement each other's combat power.
Qiuqiu just listened quietly on the side, since Qingheng would make a contract with her anyway.
