Chapter 163: Heart for heart
Bai Ze nodded and said, "You make sense." Then he took the order and went to gather the strange beasts scattered everywhere. He knew the location of each strange beast and went personally to invite them to come together.
After Bai Ze left, Xia Zhongnan stepped into the training formation and found the nine-tailed fox Tu Shan Fang'er in it. He asked her, "Fang'er, what important matter do you want to discuss with me?"
Tu Shan Fang'er replied: "Brother, I can already transform into a human form, and even the Void Realm cultivators may not be able to see through it. I don't want to stay here, I want to travel and practice with you outside."
Xia Zhongnan smiled and waved, and instantly one hundred precious "Thousand Fantasy Galans" appeared in front of him.
When Tu Shan Fang Er saw the "Thousand Illusions Jia Lan", her bright eyes suddenly sparkled, and she said in surprise: "It turns out that there really is a 'Thousand Illusions Jia Lan' in the Immortal Mansion's medicinal garden! I have always wanted to ask my senior brother about this, but I didn't expect that my senior brother already knew what I needed."
Xia Zhongnan replied: "With these one hundred 'Thousand Illusionary Blue', how long do you think it will take to reach the third level?"
Tu Shan Fang'er replied: "I haven't tried it yet, but according to the memory in my blood, I can probably achieve it within a hundred days."
Xia Zhongnan said: "How about I give you a map and you can come find me when you reach the third level?"
He has great confidence in Tu Shan Fang'er. Once her cultivation reaches the third level, her strength will be comparable to that of the top Void Realm cultivators. Then, following him, she will undoubtedly become an extremely powerful helper.
Tu Shan Fang Er said, "No need to wait, I can go out with my brother right now. We don't need to practice in seclusion to advance, we just need to absorb the power of 'Thousand Illusions Jia Lan' every day, and our bodies will grow and transform invisibly. Moreover, Yuan Shi is also something that can be easily obtained. I have collected a large amount of Yuan Shi in the original secret realm, and this will not have any impact on the outside world."
Hearing this, Xia Zhongnan readily agreed. Tu Shan Fang'er then revealed her true form, swallowed the 100 "Thousand Illusionary Kalanchoe" plants in one gulp, and turned back into human form.
Not long after, Bai Ze brought the other nine beasts to Xia Zhongnan. Qinglong asked, "Xia Zhongnan, why did you call us here so hastily? Is there something urgent?"
Xia Zhongnan said nothing, but gently raised his right arm, and in front of the strange beasts appeared a mountain of spiritual herbs and treasures: "Thunder Flame Dragon Ginseng", "Purple Smoke Fruit", "Fire Lotus Fruit", "Hunyuan Green Lotus", "Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaf"...
The treasure trove of spiritual herbs before them shocked all the strange beasts, but everyone present maintained the necessary calm, and no strange beast rushed forward to snatch them out of greed.
Qilin was the first to comprehend the meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Zhongnan, you showed us these rare cultivation resources, are you expecting us to help you accomplish some important task?"
Xia Zhongnan was very pleased with their prudent attitude. Even the once resourceful Qiongqi did not show any greed when facing the "Heavenly Cicada Spiritual Leaf". It seemed that after experiencing many twists and turns during this period, it had gradually learned to restrain its edge and become more thoughtful.
Xia Zhongnan responded frankly: "I do need your assistance, but I don't have any specific tasks to entrust to you at the moment. In fact, I have the spiritual herbs that can make all the beasts advance, but I did not give them to the beasts casually, but chose you guys.
I am worried that once those alien beasts grow stronger, they may lose control and end up bringing disaster upon themselves, endangering not only themselves but all the alien beast races. I wonder if you can understand this."
Qilin nodded and said, "We understand. In the exotic beast garden, we were almost wiped out just because we encountered a human cultivator in the Return to Void Realm. Now this place is controlled by humans, and there are even more unfathomable human cultivators in the Hedao Realm. Even if we advance to the third level, we may still encounter a catastrophic disaster."
Xia Zhongnan thought to himself: "If this is true, then it would be the best. As long as you have some reservations, you won't lose control easily. Everything is still under my control."
Xu Dejing's actions as the leader of the human coalition that night inadvertently solved a big problem for Xia Zhongnan. It was his severe punishment that made the strange beasts completely surrender and developed a deep awe of the human cultivators, saving Xia Zhongnan a lot of trouble.
In just one night, more than seventy strange beasts were defeated, and the remaining one hundred or so were in panic. How could the strange beasts not feel afraid of such a scene?
Xia Zhongnan said: "Although there are many formations set up here, you still need to guard against accidents. If a high-level cultivator of the human race breaks in, you must be able to protect yourself. Therefore, if a group of exotic beasts can be promoted to the third level in advance, it will undoubtedly add a layer of security to the entire exotic beast group."
Qinglong laughed heartily: "Xia Zhongnan, I, Qinglong, am willing to undertake this mission! But this is not to help you, but a debt of gratitude from us to you."
Xia Zhongnan replied: "Okay, just consider it as you owe me a favor. If I need your help in the future, I will repay you. Speaking of the requirements for advancement, you still need Yuanshi, right? I can provide them to you."
Huang Cheng, Tianma, Qiongqi, Zhuque and Chongming Bird all smiled in response. These strange beasts had followed Xia Zhongnan for a long time and had already accumulated a lot of Yuanshi. Naturally, they did not need any additional supplies from Xia Zhongnan.
However, Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger and Black Tortoise were short of money. When they heard that Xia Zhongnan could still provide them with Yuanshi, White Tiger asked tentatively: "Do you really have so many Yuanshi? If not, we can draw them from the heaven and earth ourselves."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "Drawing from heaven and earth? How long will it take?"
Baihu replied: "It will only take a hundred years."
Xia Zhongnan was surprised and asked, "Only a hundred years? Without these spiritual herbs, how long would it take you to advance to the third level?"
Baihu replied: "It took us two hundred years from birth to reach the first level, and it took about a thousand years to advance from the first level to the second level. And it will probably take at least two thousand years to advance from the second level to the third level. However, we have stayed at the second level for more than a thousand years. With your spiritual herbs, we can at least save hundreds of years of cultivation time."
Xia Zhongnan felt a bit of a headache when he heard this. He couldn't help but sigh at the long lifespan of the exotic beasts. Compared to the short lifespan of mortals of just a hundred years, it was not even as short as the fleeting moment of these monsters' childhood.
This was not the time to discuss this matter, so Xia Zhongnan said, "Well, I will give you Yuanjing as a gift. How much do you need?"
It was still Baihu who answered first: "I need at least 18,000 Yuan Crystals."
Qinglong and Xuanwu also responded: "What we need is not much different."
Qilin whispered, "For me, I'm afraid I'll need at least 20,000 Yuan Crystals to satisfy that requirement."
The total amount of Yuan Crystals needed by the four monsters was nearly 80,000, which made them feel ashamed and unable to speak.
Xia Zhongnan asked again: "If I can supply you with sufficient Yuan Crystals, when will you be able to reach perfection in your cultivation?"
Qilin answered first: "If we have enough Yuanjing in our hands, I am confident that I can break through the bottleneck within a hundred days and successfully advance."
Other monsters all said that they could also be promoted to the third level within a hundred days.
Xia Zhongnan raised his hand slightly to signal, and 22,000 Yuan crystals suddenly appeared in front of Qilin, and 20,000 Yuan crystals each appeared in front of Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu.
The monsters were all dumbfounded. They had never expected that Xia Zhongnan, a human cultivator in the Divine Transformation Realm, could easily display such wealth and power, and with a wave of his hand, he could get more than 80,000 Yuan Crystals.
Huang Cheng, Tianma, Qiongqi and others were even more shocked. They knew very well that Xu Dejing had taken away 80,000 Yuan Crystals from Xu Qian, and the remaining number of Yuan Crystals collected by Gu Xiuzhan and Jiuwei with the help of Xia Zhongnan was only about the same. However, at this moment Xia Zhongnan gave them back in one breath.
Tu Shan Fang'er couldn't help but interrupt, "Brother, you gave all your Yuan Crystals to them, so what should you do? I still have some Yuan Crystals left after I'm promoted, so why not give them to you."
As she spoke, more than 20,000 Yuan Crystals appeared in front of Tu Shan Fang'er. Based on the 10,000 Yuan Crystals required for her promotion, she should have prepared more than 40,000 Yuan Crystals for herself in the Yuan Crystal mine.
Seeing this, Huang Cheng, Tianma, Qiongqi, Zhuque, Chongmingniao and Bai Ze also donated more than 20,000 Yuan crystals, and Bai Ze generously took out more than 40,000 Yuan crystals.
Xia Zhongnan originally only took out more than 80,000 Yuan crystals, but now there are more than 160,000 of them gathered in front of him.
Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger and Black Tortoise looked at the monsters that followed Xia Zhongnan away and were shocked again. It turned out that each of them had such a rich harvest.
Seeing the mountains of Yuan Crystals, Xia Zhongnan felt a warm current in his heart. He treated these monsters with sincerity, and finally got their feedback. The relationship between them became closer and closer, like a family.
He did not reach out to touch the Yuan Crystals, but replied with a faint smile: "I appreciate your kindness. I am not short of these Yuan Crystals now. If I really need them in the future, I will certainly ask for them without hesitation!"
The monsters did not know that Xia Zhongnan had another adventure. He did not actually value these ordinary Yuan Crystals too much. In his alien world, not only did he have a number of ordinary Yuan Crystals far exceeding their total, but he also had a huge amount of top-level Yuan Crystals.
After Xia Zhongnan declined many times, all the monsters finally put away the crystals and spiritual herbs they had placed there...
Not only Xia Zhongnan, but even those strange beasts felt a subtle resonance echoing in their hearts, as if the strange beasts and humans here together formed a huge family of cultivators, with a mutual understanding and a common destinies.
After completing the task here, Xia Zhongnan and Tu Shan Fang'er found Gu Xiuzhan, who was practicing in seclusion in a secluded valley. The two of them rushed towards Feiyuejian.
Qiongqi volunteered to continue to serve as Xia Zhongnan's flying spirit beast, but was declined by Xia Zhongnan. Now that the place has finally been pacified, if Qiongqi is exposed again and others accidentally spy on it, I am afraid that many unnecessary changes will arise.
