When in Doubt, Ask Elder He!
Chu Xinghe wasn't worried at all about a novice like Wolf King who was prone to backstabbing.
After all, he was no longer the Chu Xinghe of the past. Now, even if a small backstab could actually hit him, it would only be a superficial wound and wouldn't be enough to harm him at all.
But damn Ma Liang, the king of backstabbing dogs, look at the holes in my back, two-thirds of them were left by Ma Liang...
Ma Liang's sudden appearance caught Chu Xinghe off guard.
But at this moment, it wasn't just Chu Xinghe who was panicking, but also the Yun Clan Head...
Although he had always thought it was impossible for the Demon Star Continent to research Spirit Beast Grass, after arriving in the Demon Star Continent and seeing the Wolf King's confident demeanor, the Yun Clan Head was genuinely a little flustered.
The Yun Clan Head panicked even more when he saw Chu Xinghe yesterday.
Because the Yun Clan Head saw that Chu Xinghe had a calm expression on his face at the time...
Chu Xinghe's calm demeanor suggests he's extremely confident...
So, could it be that they've actually managed to create Spirit Beast Grass in the Demon Star Continent...?
However, the Yun Clan Head still comforted himself...
The Yun Clan Head declared that he couldn't panic. What was there to panic about? Even if the Demon Star Continent produced Spirit Beast Grass, so what?
Our Yun Clan's Spirit Beast Grass is the most mature Spirit Beast Grass. Although we claim that our Spirit Beast Grass has an extremely high cost, only I know that the cost of our Yun Clan's Spirit Beast Grass is so low that it's no different from ordinary grass.
Every Spirit Beast Grass we sell makes us a fortune, and so does the spirit beasts we cultivate ourselves.
The Vast Heaven Holy Land has always used top-grade spiritual herbs from the Muyue Kingdom to cultivate spirit beasts, so even if they were to research and develop Spirit Beast Grass, wouldn't the cost be far greater than that of our Yun Clan?
Given similar costs, our Yun Clan is definitely no match for the Vast Heaven Holy Land. After all, even if we're losing money, we can't outsmart the Vast Heaven Holy Land, right?
But when we have the lowest possible cost, and the cost of Spirit Beast Grass in the Vast Heaven Holy Land is on a completely different level from ours, why should we panic!
Even if we halve the current price, our Yun Clan will still make a killing. But if we sell the Spirit Beast Grass from the Vast Heaven Holy Land at our prices, can we still make a profit?
Even if we lower the price by 70%, we'll still make a killing. But after lowering it by 70%, can the Vast Heaven Holy Land withstand it?
Therefore, in Yun Clan Head's view, the worst outcome of this battle is nothing more than a price war.
Our Yun Clan is incredibly wealthy...
Even if this is a price war, our Yun Clan will only earn a little less, but the Vast Heaven Holy Land will suffer a huge loss. Tell me, how can we lose this price war?
Thinking of this, the Yun Clan Head's face also adopted a calm expression.
Hmph... Let Chu Xinghe face the winds from all directions, my Yun Clan Head will remain unmoved!
While the Yun Clan Head remained unmoved, Ma Liang and the Wolf King on the platform also spoke.
First, the Wolf King, as the host, formally welcomed everyone to the Demon Star Continent. At the same time, the Wolf King also mysteriously stated that this battle would definitely allow everyone to witness history together.
Before long, under the curious gazes of countless people, the Wolf King ordered several members of the Wolf Clan to bring in a spirit beast. As the spirit beast stepped onto the stage, Ma Liang took over the conversation and began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we invite you all to witness history, and it all begins with the breeding of spirit beasts!"
Ma Liang smiled mysteriously, but he was interrupted by a young man as soon as Ma Liang spoke.
"Ma Liang... I remember that the cultivation of spirit beasts and Spirit Beast Grass were first researched by our Yun Clan. If this is to witness history, it should be to witness the history of our Yun Clan, so how can it be considered witnessing history today?"
The one who spoke was Yun Hong, the young master of the Yun Clan. At this moment, Yun Hong looked at Ma Liang on the stage with disdain.
Witnessing history?
This Ma Liang is so shameless... Cultivating spirit beasts was created by our Yun Clan, and Spirit Beast Grass was also researched and developed by our Yun Clan.
So you're telling us, the very people in charge, that you're witnessing history?
Are you sure Ma Liang isn't here to be a joke today?
"May I ask where this unknown young man comes from?" Ma Liang asked with a smile on his face, showing no anger at being interrupted.
"Hmph... You're so ignorant! I am Yun Hong, the young master of the Yun Clan of the Spirit Beast Continent! You don't even recognize me..." Yun Hong said with a disdainful look.
"Oh dear... so it's Young Master Yun Hong from the Yun Clan of the Spirit Beast Continent... I'm truly ignorant. As Ma Liang, the only permanent low-level outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land in the Three Continents, I've never heard of you before..."
As soon as Ma Liang said this, countless young talents in the audience burst into laughter.
Yun Hong's face darkened...
The problem is that he's speechless now after being confronted by Ma Liang.
What the hell? You say Yun Hong is very famous... No matter how famous Yun Hong is, it's only in the Spirit Beast Continent, and most of the people who know him are young people.
But the title of Ma Liang, the only permanently low-level outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land... If you look across the Three Continents, whether it's the younger generation or the older generation, who wouldn't know it?
Who do you think you are, Yun Hong? You think you can just copy someone else's Ma Liang?
They're not even in the same league...
Hua Xichen quite famous, right? Go ask him if Hua Xichen dares to try and scam Ma Liang.
Therefore, Yun Hong essentially made a fool of himself.
"Thanks to this unknown Yun something... Cloud City?"
"It's Yun Hong!"
"Alright, thank you for the tip from this unknown kid from Cloud City. The Spirit Beast Grass was indeed created by the Yun Clan. If a new Spirit Beast Grass had been cultivated, it wouldn't really count as witnessing history. So... today I'll show you something truly epoch-making!"
As Ma Liang finished speaking, the spirit beast on the stage was handed over to the Wolf King. The next moment, in front of everyone, the Wolf King began to feed the spirit beast a large amount of spiritual herbs from the Muyue Kingdom.
Seeing so many top-grade spiritual herbs being fed to this spirit beast by the Wolf King without a word, the countless alchemists below were furious, their faces turning red with rage.
What a waste of resources...
This is absolutely a waste of resources...
Is it true that you, Wolf King, are oblivious to the cost of daily necessities?
These are all top-grade spiritual herbs from the Muyue Kingdom! If these herbs were used to refine pills, how many top-grade pills could be made!
So you're feeding all those top-tier medicinal herbs from the Muyue Kingdom to your spirit beasts like they're free?
Look at that spirit beast, it looks increasingly listless under your care...
"This... this is such a waste... Even if the spirit beasts I fed actually improved their abilities, isn't this consumption just too high...?"
"We're spending more than we're earning... we're practically spending more than we're earning..."
"What are we supposed to see? Waste these spirit beasts?"
"These top-grade medicinal herbs are impossible to buy elsewhere, and they've all been wasted like this? It's simply... appalling!"
A group of old alchemists were talking amongst themselves, but what they said made perfect sense. Even those who weren't alchemists couldn't help but shake their heads at the sight.
Even many influential figures looked towards Chu Xinghe, as if to say, "Don't you want to explain yourself, Chu Xinghe?"
Is this all the most trusted confidant you have? Are you sure you're not wasting resources? You call this witnessing history?
Will we witness the history of spendthrift sons?
Even Chu Xinghe agreed with all the comments!
Just as I expected, this consumes so much energy, what the hell is the point?
With such a huge expenditure of resources, tell me how you can lose this round?
Just as everyone was wondering what kind of nonsense the Wolf King was demonstrating, the Wolf King stopped feeding the spirit beast. The next moment, under everyone's gaze, the Wolf King observed the spirit beast, and then a beam of spiritual light flew out from the Wolf King's body and directly entered the spirit beast's body!
"Initiation?" Seeing the Wolf King suddenly make a move, the powerful figures below recognized it as an initiation technique, but the problem was, they were all dumbfounded...
I've heard of initiating and imparting teachings to disciples, but who the hell has ever seen an initiation performed on a spirit beast?
What's the meaning of this "initiation" for the spirit beast?
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the spirit beast that had been empowered by the Wolf King suddenly burst forth with terrifying light.
All the spiritual herbs it had devoured a moment ago have now transformed into Spirit Power and are now circulating wildly throughout the spirit beast's body. Not only is the Spirit Power of the herbs circulating, but even more terrifyingly, the spirit beast has changed its previous listless state and has begun to enter a cultivation mode!
"Can spirit beasts cultivate?"
"How... how did they do that?"
"Isn't this... making spirit beast cultivation a bit outrageous?"
"What exactly is going on... Elder He, please explain..."
The scene was in complete chaos. Countless people were looking at Elder He, after all, Elder He was renowned for his unparalleled knowledge of all kinds of things. It was a common understanding that there was nothing Elder He didn't know, only things that didn't exist!
Therefore, when in doubt, Elder He is always the right person...
Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Elder He spoke up, "This is Bloodline Transmission... The Demon Race and spirit beasts likely shared some bloodlines among their earliest ancestors. Although the Demon Race gradually became the Demon Race, and the spirit beasts became spirit beasts, fundamentally, the spirit beasts still retain some commonalities with the Demon Race in their bloodline. While these commonalities are insufficient for spirit beasts to cultivate Demon Race techniques on their own, they can be resolved through initiation..."
"No wonder Xinghe insists on having the Demon Race of the Demon Star Continent cultivate spirit beasts no matter how many resources he expends. It turns out that Xinghe's goal isn't to create Spirit Beast Grass like the Yun Clan; Xinghe wants to directly use the power Bloodline Transmission to change the essence of spirit beasts!"
As Elder He finished speaking, everyone finally understood what was going on...
Just as everyone was marveling at Chu Xinghe's purpose in collaborating with the Demon Star Continent to cultivate demonic beasts, Ma Liang on the stage spoke up, "Please don't be impatient, everyone. This is only the first step in Senior Brother Xinghe's Awakening Plan. What I'm about to show you is the truly historic moment!"
