Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 318 Win-Win
After listening to what Longma Spirit said, I finally understood a little. No wonder he would take the initiative to find me to tell me the details and seek cooperation for such a good thing, and also let me share two-thirds of the profits. It turned out that it involved the holy land of the Blood Bat Clan, the "Blood Pool", and the holy land of the Blood Witch Clan, the "Blood Pool". We must rely on the abundant blood essence contained in them to cultivate the "Blood Bodhi". What Longma Spirit really values is not my strength and status as the "world's number one undead wizard", but my control over and influence over the two blood clan holy lands, the "Blood Pool" and the "Blood Pool". Although the existence of these two blood clan territories is known to almost every undead wizard, but because of me, no undead wizard has been able to get his hands on the two most important blood clan thrones, the bat demon and the blood lich - the "Blood Pool" territory is surrounded and protected by me, and on the surface the blood lich Temur still maintains a relatively independent status, but in fact he has become my vassal, and his future and destiny are all in my hands; the situation of the "Blood Pool" territory is slightly better than that of the "Blood Pool" territory, and it still retains more independence and sovereignty, but it is mainly because of my strong protection. If I hadn't spread the word and prohibited any other undead wizard from targeting the bat demon Tika, otherwise he would be my enemy and would be hit and retaliated by me. With the current strength of all the undead wizards, it is impossible for such an obvious target as the bat demon Tika to remain immune, and he would have been replaced by other undead wizards with their blood bat subordinates. Any undead wizard who attempts to use the "blood pool" and "blood pond" must negotiate with me in advance and obtain my consent, otherwise they can't expect to proceed smoothly, not to mention cultivating "contraband" such as "blood bodhi", which may even cause the blood energy of the two holy places, "blood pool" and "blood pond" to dry up. Such a big commotion, even if they want to hide it, they certainly can't hide it from me. Longma Spirit came to me directly to discuss, pull me in, and take the lion's share of the benefits. It can be said that it is the wisest way.
Longma continued, "To cultivate the 'Blood Bodhi', we must use the 'Blood Pool' and the 'Blood Pond', because they are taboo items of the Blood Clan and will seriously affect the normal development of the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan's royal bat demons and blood liches who control the two holy places will definitely not allow it. This requires you to exert your influence, Ah Dai, to persuade the two blood royal families to agree to cultivate the 'Blood Bodhi' for us as soon as possible."
"Longma, how did you know about the existence of 'Blood Bodhi'? Is the news reliable?" I believe that at present, Longma Spirit should be the only undead wizard in "Tianxia" who knows about the existence of "Blood Bodhi". Otherwise, even Qiu Shui Changtian, who is at odds with me, would have to cooperate with me. In this kind of thing, it is usually quick to get something, and no one would be willing to give up these benefits. Longma Spirit killed a Blood Emperor of the Blood Witch Clan and was equipped with the "Blood Emperor Robe". However, there are as many as eleven undead wizards in the "Dead Space" who are directly related to the Blood Clan Royal Family, and even Tianxing and Yeyou, two double-material royal families wearing the equipment of the Blood Witch Royal Family and conquering the Blood Bat Royal Family. How come they didn't receive the news, but Longma Spirit, who was nothing surprising, knew it? While being shocked by the existence of "Blood Bodhi", I couldn't help but pay attention to the source of the news. This is a key issue that must be clarified first. After all, the bat demon Tika and the blood lich Temur are not my direct subordinates, and I cannot completely control their will. Many times, the inherent thinking of the blood royal family often jumps out to make trouble, trying to maintain their dignity and honor. It is not an easy task to force them to surrender and compromise. It may be relatively easy to persuade the blood lich Temur, but I am not sure about dealing with the bat demon Tika - this old guy is the most cunning. Just look at it. It has been related to me for a long time. We share the same interests and losses. I have to protect it. Now it is safe and sound, and it has not suffered the disaster of destruction like other blood royal families. It is enough to prove that it is the most powerful blood royal family. It is cunning and knows clearly the value of its existence to me. I am afraid that ordinary coercion will not have much effect on it. It requires more effort and even greater risks to achieve it. Therefore, the existence and specific effects of "Blood Bodhi" must be correct, so that it is worthwhile for me to invest time and energy in designing the Blood Lich Temur and the Bat Demon Tika, and not hesitate to take some radical measures and bear the risks caused by it. I don't want to work hard for a long time and even pay too much, but in the end I get nothing or lose more than I gain, and make a losing deal.
Longma Jingshen gave a thumbs up and said, "Ah Dai, you are really cautious in your actions. You don't ask about the benefits, but ask about the cause first. It is really different from what I heard about your previous deeds. It is too far away."
"People always make progress. After dealing with savvy players like you for a long time, I can't just not learn any lessons. I've been forced into this situation." Whenever I think back to the losses I suffered before, I feel sad and regretful that I missed out on a lot of benefits due to lack of experience.
"The existence of the Blood Bodhi is the biggest taboo of the Blood Clan and is not tolerated by the rules. Therefore, it is extremely confidential and is usually only known by the Blood Bat Royal Family Bat Demon who controls the Blood Pool Holy Land and the Blood Witch Royal Family Blood Lich who controls the Blood Pool Holy Land. It is automatically passed on to successors through their royal equipment. If it is obtained by us Undead Wizards, we will not be able to know this secret due to our physical incompatibility. Because of this, although many of us Undead Wizards have the Royal Equipment of the Blood Clan and have subdued the Blood Bat Royal Family, we have never known the existence of the Blood Bodhi. It was also by chance that I was born in China. Since the last time I targeted the Blood Clan's 'law enforcer', After the 'Heaven-Defying War', I discovered a new territory of blood bats, which I have declared as my target of attack. I am constantly mobilizing my men to go there, preparing to occupy it in one fell swoop and subdue a blood bat royal family. According to traditional practice, I must first sign a 'soul contract' with a relatively strong golden blood bat that is qualified to inherit the blood bat throne before I can replace it. Unexpectedly, during a tentative raid, I unexpectedly subdued a very old golden blood bat. It said that it has lived for a long time, and its age is even older than those current blood royal families. The news about the 'Blood Bodhi' was provided to me by it."
"According to its narration, thousands of years ago, it was already a golden blood bat, living in the Blood Pond, the holy land of the Blood Bats. At that time, the bat demon who controlled the Blood Pond was named Samorano, an ambitious guy who wanted to become the most powerful blood royal family, unify the blood bats, restore the glory of the blood clan, and occupy a place among the powerful undead races in the Dead Soul Space. To this end, it colluded with the blood lich who controlled the Blood Pond territory, risked the world's condemnation, and began to cultivate the forbidden item Blood Bodhi, preparing to enhance their respective strengths. At that time, as a trusted subordinate of the bat demon Samorano, it personally participated in it and saw and heard it. Not only did they know about the existence of the 'Blood Bodhi', they also learned about some related things. It's a pity that as a 'contraband', the 'Blood Bodhi' is strictly prohibited from being cultivated. The adventurous behavior of Samorano and the blood lich at that time violated the rules. As a result, before they succeeded, they incurred the 'divine punishment' of the 'law enforcer'. The bat demon and the blood lich who presided over the matter were killed, and some other blood royal family members who participated and the subordinates who knew about it almost all failed to escape this disaster. They were successively found by the 'law enforcers' and killed. It was lucky that it managed to escape with its life in the battle where the scorpion demon Samorano was killed - it suffered severe injuries, but fell into the holy land's 'Blood It fainted in the 'Blood Pool', but did not die in the end. It slowly recovered by recuperating with blood energy. However, after witnessing and experiencing the tyranny and ruthlessness of the 'Law Enforcer', it was frightened and no longer dared to stay in the 'Blood Pool', a sad place. It hurriedly fled to other blood bat territories far away from the 'Blood Pool' and lived in constant fear, fearing that the 'Law Enforcer' would discover that it was the one who escaped the 'Blood Bodhi' incident and thus bring about a disaster. Therefore, although it is powerful, it has always acted low-key and dared not show it. It has been keeping its identity as a golden-lined blood bat. For thousands of years, it has never tried to get involved in the position of the blood bat royal family. If it hadn't realized my identity as a 'God-defying' blood race member and taken shelter under my tutelage, it could have successfully avoided the 'Heavenly Punishment' of the 'Law Enforcer', and its life would not have to worry about it all day long. It would have been like actively submitting to me. With its strength, it would have been difficult for me to successfully defeat and subdue it without sufficient preparation. It's a pity that it still underestimated the power of the 'Soul Contract', which could expose all its secrets. I happened to realize that it had strong strength, and wanted to see if I could select it to replace the Blood Bat Royal Family. After asking it a few more questions, I learned about the existence of the 'Blood Bodhi'. "
I just wanted to confirm the source of the "Blood Bodhi" news, but I didn't expect it to involve such a tortuous and bizarre legendary story. Undead creatures will not lie, not to mention that they have also used the power of the "Soul Contract". The existence of the "Blood Bodhi" should be absolutely reliable, which is beyond doubt. Since defeating the "law enforcer" of the blood clan, several undead wizards who have the title of "God-defying" of the blood clan have become more aggressive and continue to intensify the search for the existence of the blood clan royal family, with the tendency to exterminate them. I really envy the good luck of this guy Longma Jingjing, who was able to subdue the golden-lined blood bat that has survived for thousands of years. If it is replaced by it and becomes the blood bat royal family, its tyrannical strength may be inferior to that of the bat demon Dika. If it is summoned to the human world to fight, its combat effectiveness may not be inferior to that of the vampire fang prince.
"Then, Longma, did you say how many 'Blood Bodhi's' you can cultivate at one time with the golden-lined blood bat that you just subdued? You want to share one-third of the profits, so it shouldn't be possible to cultivate only one or two, right? At the same time, the specific function of the 'Blood Bodhi' is a bit too vague. Do you have more detailed information? Can it increase the level, or enhance some other attributes?" This is also the key issue that I care about, which determines how much effort I need to put in and how much risk I need to take. Should I go against the bat demon Tika and be determined to get the "Blood Bodhi", or should I just do my best and not really hurt the bat demon Tika?
"No one can be sure how many 'Blood Bodhi' can be cultivated, not even the Bat Demon and Blood Lich in charge. It mainly depends on the blood essence in the two holy places, the 'Blood Pool' and the 'Blood Pool'. However, according to the Bat Demon's ambitious tyrant Samorano, as long as the 'Blood Pool' and the 'Blood Pool' are maintained in normal conditions, there should be at least six 'Blood Bodhi's. With the current status of the 'Blood Pool' and the 'Blood Pool', plus the cooperation of you and me, two top undead wizards, to make up for the shortfall, I think the profit will definitely not be less than six 'Blood Bodhi's , at least I can get two times as much as you get four times. I've said before, I'm sincere in cooperating with you, and I won't intentionally take advantage of you. I didn't propose the one-third profit distribution ratio casually. As for the specific functions of the 'Blood Bodhi', the golden blood bat under my command only heard about it and doesn't know much, only that it can permanently enhance the strength of the blood clan undead. However, the current bat demons and blood liches must know these secrets, and we can find out by questioning them. It all depends on you, Ah Dai. I believe that with your influence, you should be able to do it. "
"Then how do we specifically use the 'blood pool' and 'blood pond' to cultivate the 'blood bodhi'? From your previous explanation, it seems that the two blood royal families, the bat demon and the blood lich, need to work together to preside over it. In addition to the possibility of causing the blood in the 'blood pool' and the 'blood pond' to dry up, will there be any direct adverse effects on the two of them?" This will determine the difficulty of negotiating terms with the blood lich Temur, especially the bat demon Dika. Because of the "blood transformation", the blood lich Temur may still have a chance to get some "blood bodhi ", but unless the bat demon Dika agrees to sign a "soul contract" with me and become one of my major combat forces and can be summoned to fight, otherwise it will definitely not have a share of the cultivated "blood bodhi", and I will not waste it on something irrelevant to it. This way it would be equivalent to working for me for nothing. If I pay too much but don't get the corresponding return, it would be extremely difficult to convince the cunning old guy, the Bat Demon Tika. If the strategy is wrong and I push too hard, then maybe it will really make up its mind to die rather than live in disgrace, and let me risk losing the ability of "blood bat transformation" and "external incarnation".
"As the actual controllers of the Blood Pool and Blood Pond, the Bat Demons and Blood Liches must use their special abilities to start a specific program to gather the blood essence in one place and condense it before they can cultivate the Blood Bodhi. They only need to pay some attention and use their own abilities to drive the blood essence in the two holy places to condense as quickly as possible. It will not directly cause any adverse effects on themselves. The only danger is that if you cultivate a forbidden thing like the Blood Bodhi without authorization, the Law Enforcer will punish you with a Heavenly Punishment. However, you are already a Blood Clan's 'God-defying Person' and are no longer bound by the relevant rules. As long as you force the bat demon and the blood lich to cultivate the 'blood bodhi' for you because of you, you should be able to provide them with shelter, so that they will not suffer the 'heavenly punishment' of the 'law enforcer', and will not bring them death. I have no way of knowing the details. After all, the golden blood bat is limited by its status and does not know much. It depends on you, Ah Dai, to learn more from the blood lich and the bat demon. After forcing them to agree, we will discuss how to proceed and what to invest. In short, I will definitely pay the corresponding price and will not let you suffer any loss. "
"Longma, why are you so enthusiastic about the 'Blood Bodhi'? Do you want to sell it for profit, or keep it for yourself? Have you also subdued the vampire Fang subordinates and need to train them?" I asked casually. The most suitable one to be trained with the "Blood Bodhi" is naturally the vampire Fang. It can be strengthened by continuously improving its level through promotion. It is one of the best candidates to be subdued as a mid-level pet. However, there are only four vampire Fang princes, and I am greedy for their joint attack skills. I have already planned to subdue the four vampire Fang princes and bring them under my command. I don't want to let any of them go. Now I have the "Blood Bodhi", which can quickly improve Saman's strength and help it launch a promotion challenge as soon as possible to defeat the strongest and highest-ranking first vampire Fang prince, Sablotu. In this way, there will be a chance to force the other three vampire Fang princes to surrender and agree to sign a "soul contract" with me. But the Dragon Horse Spirit also got the "Blood Bodhi". If he helps a certain vampire fang to become stronger and wants to challenge for the title of Vampire Fang Prince, it will not only threaten the interests I want to obtain, but even if I subdue them, I have no right to refuse the normal challenge of other vampire fangs for the title. If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. I can't help but have some concerns. It would be best to find out the specific use of the Dragon Horse Spirit after getting the "Blood Bodhi" so that I can prepare early and formulate corresponding countermeasures.
Longma seemed to have seen through my intentions and smiled at me, "Don't worry, Ah Dai, I know you have a vampire fang pet, and it should have been promoted to Duke by now. Once you get the help of Blood Bodhi, it will not be a problem to win the challenge of becoming a vampire fang prince. With your strength and your recent style of doing things, you will definitely try your best to get as many benefits as possible, and will not easily let others threaten your interests. Not only will you choose the best one, you may even want to buy all the four vampire fang princes. I won't get in your way. I want to obtain the Blood Bodhi, not to transfer it for profit, nor to train Vampire Fang's subordinates, but mainly to make the newly conquered Golden Blood Bat stronger, so that after it kills the Blood Bat Royal Family and takes over, it should be able to become the strongest Blood Bat Royal Family because of its superior innate conditions, and can become an important force for me in the battles in the human world. You train your Vampire Fang to compete for the position of Vampire Fang Prince, and even if you are willing to sell the extra Blood Bodhi, I will only cultivate my Blood Bat Royal Family, and we will each do our own thing, and no one will interfere with each other. "
Dragon Horse Spirit hit the nail on the head, I smiled at him embarrassedly, but after understanding all this, I no longer have any worries. This cooperation should be very cost-effective for both of us, and it is a win-win situation, so naturally I have to do my best to promote it. The next step is mainly up to me. No matter what means I use, I must force the blood lich Temur and the bat demon Dika to agree to cultivate the "Blood Bodhi". They cannot refuse. Without the cooperation of the two royal families, this matter cannot be carried out. It is the most critical link. Otherwise, Dragon Horse Spirit would not have taken the initiative to find me to ask for cooperation, and was willing to let me take two-thirds of the benefits.
I first went to the blood lich Temur, although the eight "blood changes" granted by the "First Embrace" were very important to me and could not be lost easily. However, compared with the cunning bat demon Dika, as a new royal family, it was under my threat from the beginning and had been trying to survive in the cracks. It should be more aware of the current situation and more likely to compromise in order to protect itself. Anyway, with the protection of me, a blood clan "god-defying person", it will not endanger its life, nor will it damage its own strength. As for the consumption of the blood essence contained in the "blood pool", it is not without relevant experience before. At most, I can dispatch a group of undead creatures to die and use their soul energy to replenish it. There should be no risk of blood drying up. With these as a guarantee, I am very confident that I can force Temur to surrender and not cause me too much trouble.
Entering the "Blood Pool" territory, summoning the Blood Lich Temur, and asking it directly about the "Blood Bodhi", it really did not cooperate very well. At first, it avoided answering. Under my persistent questioning, it used the excuse that this matter was a secret passed down from generation to generation by the Blood Lich and could not be disclosed to outsiders, and even other Blood Lich royal families had no right to know. Finally, after hearing me reveal some information about the "Blood Bodhi", it had to admit that the "Blood Bodhi" did exist, but it was a taboo item of the Blood Clan and could not be cultivated without authorization. It resolutely refused to agree to my request. However, after dealing with it many times, I had already seen through its nature of being greedy for life and afraid of death. It took the initiative to prove that it had defeated the "law enforcer" of the Blood Clan and had become the "God-defying" of the Blood Clan. The fact that it was no longer restrained showed that under my protection, even if it cultivated the "Blood Bodhi" for me, it would not incur the "heavenly punishment" of the "law enforcer" and would not bring any danger to itself. After some intimidation and inducement, and the promise that if the number of blood bodhisattvas cultivated was sufficient, it would also take the "Blood Bodhi" to further enhance its own strength, Temur finally chose to compromise reluctantly, revealing the specific situation of the "Blood Bodhi" that it knew, and promised that after I persuaded the bat demon Dika, it would cultivate the "Blood Bodhi" for me together with it.
What I focus on is the actual effect of "Blood Bodhi". According to Temur, "Blood Bodhi" cannot improve the level of blood clan undead like the "promotion pill" it took before, but it can greatly increase their mental and physical strength, improve physical fitness, consolidate the source, increase the content of lifeblood essence, speed up the recovery speed of mental and physical strength, and even give them some special abilities, especially for the blood clan royal family, with their unique royal equipment, it can play a special role. And there is no restriction on use. It can be taken many times to continuously increase mental and physical strength, unlike "promotion pill", each undead can only take it once in a lifetime. The blood clan undead cultivated by "Blood Bodhi" should be a "blood cow" nature, which is quite useful to me. The original "blood change" ability can increase mental strength. If I swallow a few more "Blood Bodhi", I can kill the blood-sucking prince even if it consumes it, and I have enough capital to fight a protracted war with my opponent. Moreover, after swallowing Temur, it will increase the blood essence of the body, and can also affect the effect of "blood transformation", and increase the mental strength a little bit. If the other three vampire princes can be subdued, they can also further enhance their own strength by taking "Blood Bodhi". Come to think of it, there are too many places where this will be needed. If the number of cultivated "Blood Bodhi" is small, I am afraid it will not be enough for me to use.
In this case, we have to be concerned about how many "Blood Bodhi" can be cultivated at one time. Temur naturally knows more details than the golden blood bat that Longma spirit subdued, and his description is more specific. According to the current situation of the "Blood Pool", it is estimated that the amount of blood essence contained in the "Blood Pool" will be about this level, slightly higher than the average level, and at least six "Blood Bodhi" can be cultivated, and perhaps one or two more. However, I promised to continuously provide the soul energy of undead creatures to replenish the consumed blood. With more blood essence supply, more "Blood Bodhi" should be condensed. It mainly depends on how well our support work is done. Of course, the number of "Blood Bodhi" that can be cultivated will not be too many. It is not only limited by the blood essence contained in the two holy places of "Blood Pool" and "Blood Pool", but also by the strength of the blood lich and bat demon who preside over the cultivation ceremony. According to the current strength of Temur and Dika, they can only cultivate twelve "Blood Bodhi" at most, which is the limit of their abilities. Even if the supply of blood essence is sufficient, it is impossible to condense more. At the same time, the cultivation of "Blood Bodhi" cannot be carried out continuously. It takes at least a period of time until the "Blood Pool" and "Blood Pool" are fully restored before it can be cultivated again. Moreover, the risk of cultivation next time will be greater. It may provoke the chief judge who is higher than the "law enforcer" to interfere. Even I, a "god-defying person" of the blood clan, can't resist it.
