Chapter 598: You humans have great ambitions
The transaction that Ye Changsheng was referring to was naturally the exchange of the collected materials for the Styx Divine Milk in Qing Yuanzi's hands.
Qing Yuanzi had been looking forward to this matter for a long time. When he heard Ye Changsheng bring it up, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He laughed loudly and said, "Well, Brother Daoist Ye has made such a great improvement in strength. I now have high expectations for what you have collected!"
"Hehe, Brother Jiang, you are too happy. It has only . How much materials can I collect?"
"It's just that we have gathered about 80% of the resources on the list you listed!" Ye Changsheng said with a chuckle.
Upon hearing his words, Qing Yuanzi's eyes widened immediately, with an unstoppable look of joy on his face.
Eighty percent of resources?
That was too much. He had originally expected that it would be good enough if Ye Changsheng could collect about half of it.
After all, it has only been a few hundred years since he left the Styx. In Qing Yuanzi's opinion, Ye Changsheng probably couldn't even get through a few races, so how much could he find?
But now, when Ye Changsheng said the number "80%", he was immediately shocked, and then became extremely excited.
Ye Changsheng threw a jade slip over and said, "Daoyou, take a look. It records what I have collected. If possible, let's trade now!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
Qing Yuanzi took the jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it and took a look. Immediately, his eyes were filled with brilliance and he said "OK" three times in a row.
"Fellow Daoist Ye really gave me a huge surprise. Among these materials, I am not sure I can get those that I haven't collected even if I go out in person!"
"The resources I have collected are enough to easily exchange for all the Styx Divine Milk I have, and there is still some left. The extra money will be regarded as the reward for introducing that old monster Xu Ling to you. How about that!"
Qing Yuanzi said this while stroking his long beard. After hearing this, Ye Changsheng nodded as if it was okay.
So, next he handed a storage bracelet to Qing Yuanzi. After the other party checked it with joy, he handed him a few jade bottles.
Naturally, the jade bottle is filled with the Styx divine milk.
With this item, Ye Changsheng will not only be able to advance to the Mahayana stage , but the women around him will also be able to use it to practice quickly after they break through to the fusion stage.
Of course, more importantly, the Styx Divine Milk is also an indispensable item for cultivating the Gold-Eating Bug King, and it can be of certain help to the evolution of the Gold-Eating Bug.
"Now my chances of surviving this great calamity have increased by 20%!" Qing Yuanzi said with a look of joy on his face.
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng began to murmur in his heart: "Logically speaking, Qing Yuanzi should now be considered a member of the Chang Yuan clan, so should his heavenly tribulation be counted according to that of the Chang Yuan clan or the human race?"
If it was the great calamity of the Changyuan clan, it would most likely be the kind that occurs once every ten thousand years and would be extremely powerful.
"Then congratulations, fellow Daoist. With Daoist Jiang's talent, I believe your strength will be further improved after you get through the great heavenly tribulation!" Ye Changsheng said with a bow.
Qing Yuanzi chuckled when he heard this and did not deny it. He still had some confidence in himself.
If his strength could be further improved, he would have a chance to compete for one of the top ten strongest people in Fengyuan Continent.
“Pah!”
He clapped his hands twice, and a slender figure appeared outside the door. Her face was pale, her facial features were a little blurry, and she had a cold aura all over her body. This was a ghost in the Void Refinement Stage.
"These are the ghost slaves that I trained. They are also the specialties of this Styx. How about giving a few to you, fellow Taoist?" Qing Yuanzi said with a smile.
Ye Changsheng glanced at the sinister ghost, shook his head, and chuckled, "Forget it. I have plenty of people to serve me, so I won't take away what Daoist Brother Jiang has!"
Qing Yuanzi laughed loudly, and then ordered the ghost slave: "Take Fellow Daoist Ye to rest, serve him well, and don't neglect Fellow Daoist Ye!"
"Then I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Jiang!" Ye Changsheng stood up, bowed, and left with the ghost slave.
Behind him, Qing Yuanzi looked at his back with flickering eyes.
"It's incredible that this kid has advanced so quickly. It will probably not be a problem for him to advance to the Mahayana stage in the future!"
"There really is a freak among the human race. He must have a lot of secrets. I wonder what kind of opportunity can allow a person to advance so rapidly in cultivation. Could he be the reincarnation of an immortal?"
"I used to think I could see through him, but now I can't tell anything about him. His body... always feels like a real spirit!"
"Forget it. No matter what, it won't be a bad thing for me to try to make friends with this person. When he advances to the Mahayana stage in the future, maybe there will be a time when I can borrow his power!"
After pondering for a moment with his mind in flux , Qing Yuanzi turned around and walked into a corridor on the side of the hall. When he reached the end, he opened the door and saw a huge refining furnace inside. A figure in a green robe was sitting in front of the furnace.
This person looked exactly like Qing Yuanzi. After seeing him come in, he nodded, then walked out with an expressionless face.
Qing Yuanzi didn't care. He sat in the seat vacated by this person and cast a spell at the refining furnace.
…
About two months later, a sound transmission note floated to Ye Changsheng's residence: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I have successfully refined the weapon. We can go to see the supreme elder of the Mayfly Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng immediately stood up, opened the door of the room, and walked to the hall where he had met Qing Yuanzi before. Qing Yuanzi was already waiting there with a glowing face.
"It seems that Brother Daoist Jiang's magic weapon was refined very smoothly!"
"Haha, it's just a magic weapon that is not worth mentioning. It is likely that Fellow Daoist Ye will not be interested in it. Let's set off now!" Qing Yuanzi said with a smile and changed the subject.
"Okay!" Ye Changsheng nodded with a smile.
Then the two of them left Qing Yuanzi's cave and flew towards somewhere in the Styx.
Not long after, Ye Changsheng and Qing Yuanzi appeared in front of a valley in the center of a giant mountain.
There stood a tall palace in the valley. There was a gleaming light outside the palace, and a dangerous wave was coming from it.
Obviously, the area surrounding the palace was shrouded by an extremely powerful restriction, which would threaten even a Mahayana cultivator.
"Brother Xu Ling, Qing Yuanzi is here to visit!"
Standing above the valley, Qing Yuanzi shouted loudly, making a rumbling sound.
The sound waves radiated downwards, and when they hit the restrictions, ripples immediately appeared, like ripples on the water.
After a while, a cold snort came from the palace: "Qing Yuanzi, how come you have time to come here, do you want to compete with me?"
As soon as this old voice sounded, the corners of Qing Yuanzi's eyes twitched twice, and he waved his hands quickly, saying:
"Brother Xu Ling, you are joking. I am about to face a great calamity. How could I possibly want to compete with you?"
"What? Do you mean that after you have survived the great heavenly tribulation, you will be able to compete with me?" The old voice seemed a little unhappy when he heard this and said coldly.
"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I know I am no match for you, so how dare I humiliate myself!" Qing Yuanzi's face twitched and he immediately explained.
“Hahaha, you are quite self-aware, but I’m afraid it’s against the rules for you to bring outsiders here without permission, right?”
When the old voice sounded, Ye Changsheng immediately felt two cold gazes falling on him.
He frowned calmly, and activated the Little Big Dipper Star Energy. A layer of hazy starlight appeared on his body, blocking the two sights outside his body.
“Huh?!”
A cry of surprise came from the palace, as if someone was very surprised.
"The reason why I brought Fellow Daoist Ye here is because he has a deal he wants to discuss with Brother Xu Ling. I believe Brother Xu Ling will not be disappointed after listening to it!" Qing Yuanzi explained with a bow.
"Hmph, Qing Yuanzi, don't you think it's ridiculous that you bring a fusion cultivator to negotiate a deal with me?" The old voice snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Qing Yuanzi smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that Brother Xu Ling really thinks that Fellow Daoist Ye is just an ordinary fusion cultivator?"
"Anyway, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen such a powerful combined cultivator. In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Ye can be regarded as a person of my generation!"
After Qing Yuanzi finished speaking, there was silence in the palace, and then a strange laugh suddenly rang out.
“Hehehehe…”
"You are right. This boy surnamed Ye has a body so strong that I have never seen it before. He is indeed qualified to be friends with people of my generation. Come in!"
As soon as the voice fell, the light curtain covering the outside of the palace slowly dissipated, and a passage appeared.
Qing Yuanzi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, turned around and said to Ye Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist Ye, let's go down!"
Ye Changsheng nodded, and then two figures disappeared into the palace.
A moment later, Ye Changsheng and Qing Yuanzi were sitting on two cushions in the palace, and opposite them was a thin old man.
This person looked to be about sixty years old, with deep eye sockets, a prominent nose and breasts, and he was wearing a colorful robe and a necklace made of silver round beads around his neck. Each bead was as big as an egg and looked extremely eye-catching.
An unfathomable aura shrouds him, making it impossible to find out the extent of his cultivation. One can only vaguely sense the vast magical power within him that is as deep as the ocean.
This person is none other than the supreme elder of the Mayfly Clan, Xu Ling, an old monster in the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
At this moment, this strange old man seemed to have completely ignored Qing Yuanzi. His strange eyes stared at Ye Changsheng. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to scrape him apart alive.
Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, had a faint smile on his face, with a layer of starlight covering his body, making it impossible for him to see through everything.
After a while, the old man finally seemed to give up. He withdrew his sharp gaze and snorted coldly, seeming a little dissatisfied.
At the same time, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Qing Yuanzi, and asked with dissatisfaction in his voice: "Qing Yuanzi, I remember that your human race seems to be inconspicuous, just a small tribe, right?"
"But now, not only do we have a great Mahayana like you, but we also have a promising young man named Ye. His strength is not simple! Could it be that you humans have deliberately concealed your strength?"
"Brother Xu Ling, you're joking! Our human race is indeed just a small race." Qing Yuanzi quickly gave a dry laugh and explained.
“Although I was born into the human race, I had another opportunity later on. Otherwise, I would not have been able to cultivate to my current level. However, because of this, I cannot be considered a pure and crude human.”
"As for Fellow Daoist Ye's amazing progress, it's not too surprising. Any family may have one or two geniuses, it just happened that Brother Xu Ling encountered them. How can they be compared with the nobles?"
Upon hearing Qing Yuanzi's words, the supreme elder of the Mayfly Clan suddenly laughed strangely, looking as if he totally didn't believe it.
He kept looking back and forth between Ye Changsheng and Qing Yuanzi. After a moment, he sneered and said, "It seems that you humans are really ambitious. After Ye Xiaozi advances to the Mahayana stage, will you humans challenge the status of a great clan?"
The supreme elder of the Mayfly Clan directly skipped the medium-sized clans and believed that the human race should attack the large clans, which shows how much he values Ye Changsheng.
In fact, in his eyes, the human race is now considered a middle-class ethnic group.
On the surface, there is only one Mahayana master in the human race, Mo Jianli, but there is also a Qing Yuanzi hidden in secret.
Although Qing Yuanzi himself did not necessarily think that he would return to the human race, but in the eyes of Xu Ling, he was a member of the human race.
However, Xu Ling was clear about Qing Yuanzi's strength. With two great men in the town, the human race could barely be considered a middle-class race.
When Ye Changsheng, a fusion cultivator who he thought was extremely powerful, advances to the Mahayana stage, the human race will inevitably begin to expand.
The Mayfly Clan doesn’t need to care whether it is a small clan or a medium clan, but if a large clan appears on the Fengyuan Continent, the Mayfly Clan will have to pay attention!
Hearing Xu Ling's words, Qing Yuanzi immediately laughed bitterly and said, "Brother Xu Ling, you are too flattering to our human race. Even if Brother Ye advances to the Mahayana stage, there are only two or three Mahayana masters in the human race. How can we be qualified to attack the big clans? At most, we can barely get out of the brink of being easily exterminated!"
"Hehe!" Upon hearing this, Xu Ling laughed strangely twice and did not comment.
His gaze fell on Ye Changsheng again, and suddenly a trace of kindness appeared on his face, and he said:
"Although I can't tell the exact bone age of Mr. Ye, I think you are not that old, right? You have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, which is something I have never seen in my life!"
"How about it, young friend, are you interested in joining our Mayfly Clan? As long as you are willing to stay in our clan as a guest elder, all the materials and spiritual medicines you need for future cultivation will be covered by our clan."
Qing Yuanzi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no words came out.
Ye Changsheng's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he smiled calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist friend. I have many things in the human race that I cannot give up, but it is impossible for me to join the Mayfly Clan!"
