The Number One Reverse Haggler!
The matter of Ghost Valley is known to all parties.
Immediately after the incident at Ghost Valley, quite a few clowns jumped out to say that Chu Xinghe of the Vast Heaven Sect had messed things up.
You, Chu Xinghe, said you'd help the demon Demon Race, that you'd help Demon Race repair Ghost Valley, but now, forget repairing it, Ghost Valley is practically destroyed... And you call this helping the Demon Race?
Of course, those who jumped out to shout were all just clowns.
After all, right and wrong are irrelevant to them... using this incident to gain attention is the real goal!
Just as everyone was watching to see what Chu Xinghe would do next, the Vast Heaven Sect released information about the White Tiger!
When everyone heard that the Vast Heaven Sect wanted to invite the White Tiger to come out of the mountains, they were all stunned!
Do you, Vast Heaven Sect, want to hear what you're saying?
It's true that the White Tiger is on Spirit Beast Island, but the problem is that the White Tiger can only stay on Spirit Beast Island...
Let's not even talk about the resource consumption involved in White Tiger wanting to leave Spirit Beast Island. Are you telling me that without the Beast God's order, White Tiger is insane? Would he dare to leave Spirit Beast Island?
Opinions on this matter are divided into two camps.
One faction believes that the Vast Heaven Sect could never possibly summon the White Tiger, no matter what. They argue that this is utterly wishful thinking; without the Beast God’s Command, how could they possibly summon the White Tiger with their bare hands?
What the hell? You're saying you want Mystic God Gu Mingchao to forcibly bring the White Tiger out?
The White Tiger and Spirit Beast Island are one entity. Although the White Tiger's remnant soul state is no match for Gu Mingchao, if Gu Mingchao were to use force, the White Tiger would probably rather self-destruct than agree!
The other side had a different view, which was that there was no need to mention Mystic God Gu Mingchao, because they still didn't understand Chu Xinghe!
Is Chu Xinghe's reputation for unrestrained imagination just empty talk?
Have you forgotten that Chu Xinghe possesses the Beast God Talisman? How do you know the Beast God Talisman cannot invoke the White Tiger Holy Venerable?
Even if we take a step back, Chu Xinghe's Beast God Talisman is truly useless; please take a look at the resources of the Vast Heaven Sect.
Money can make the devil turn the millstone. If the Vast Heaven Sect has its resources maxed out, it might be able to get the White Tiger to do the millstone!
The parties are arguing fiercely over these two viewpoints.
Chu Xinghe has not yet set off for Spirit Beast Island, but now all eyes are on the Spirit Beast Island, and everyone wants to see if Chu Xinghe can get the White Tiger out of the Spirit Beast Island.
In contrast to the turmoil outside, Chu Xinghe was sitting in his room having a very friendly conversation with the Beast God.
That's right... they were genuinely friendly and didn't use Evil Repeller!
"Beast God... how many resources will be needed to fill the void left by the White Tiger 'White Tiger departure from Spirit Beast Island?"
Chu Xinghe knew that the Beast God was the one who knew the most about Spirit Beast Island, so asking the Beast God was the most reliable thing to do.
Upon hearing Chu Xinghe speak, the Beast God immediately said, "Xinghe, you are unaware of this. To get the White Tiger to leave Spirit Beast Island, we need a large amount of resources to replenish the Spirit Beast Island's resources after the White Tiger leaves."
"Spirit Beast Island is maintained by the Soul Power of the Four Sacred Beasts. None of the Four Sacred Beasts can be missing, and if one of them is missing, the Spirit Beast Island will collapse without sufficient resources to fill the gap. Ordinary resources cannot fill the void left by the White Tiger; only the highest-grade spirit stone, the Blood Spirit Stone, can do it!"
Upon hearing what the Beast God said, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!
It has to be you, Beast God! You resort to using Blood Spirit Stones at the drop of a hat!
However, this Beast God is flawless; the resource consumption is at its maximum!
So the question is... how many Blood Spirit Stones are needed?
Soon, the Beast God spoke again, "Even with my written consent, it would take at least 10,000 to 20,000 Blood Spirit Stones just to keep the Spirit Beast Island and allow the White Tiger to leave!"
Chu Xinghe: "???"
Seeing Chu Xinghe's bewildered expression, the Beast God felt a little panicked...
It's important to know that even the Beast God at his peak only possessed a maximum of 30,000 to 50,000 Blood Spirit Stones, a legendary level of spirit stone.
Under normal circumstances, a thousand Blood Spirit Stones would be enough to keep Spirit Beast Island running for at least three to five months while the White Tiger was away.
After all, the power contained in the Blood Spirit Stone is too great.
But the Beast God also wanted to use this opportunity to recover his strength...
So the number of Blood Spirit Stones was increased to 20,000, but seeing Chu Xinghe's furrowed brows, the Beast God panicked slightly...
Was I being too greedy...? Does Chu Xinghe also think I, the Beast God, went too far?
Could he have guessed that I was trying to scam him out of his spirit stones?
If Chu Xinghe really wants to bargain... I'll agree if it's really impossible, but 10,000 Blood Spirit Stones is my bottom line as the Beast God... If it's less than 10,000 Blood Spirit Stones, I'd rather not give you the letter than help you Chu Xinghe!
"Only 20,000 Blood Spirit Stones are needed to summon the White Tiger? Is it really that cheap?"
Beast God: "???"
"That's the White Tiger Holy Venerable... one of the four sacred beasts under your Beast God's command, practically your own brother... you owe us extra money!"
The Beast God was dumbfounded... He was prepared to be severely slashed by Chu Xinghe... but what did Chu Xinghe mean by suddenly trying to bargain in the opposite direction?
"Then... fifty thousand?" The Beast God gritted his teeth and shouted out a price that even he found outrageous!
But as soon as the Beast God finished speaking, Chu Xinghe looked at Beast God with a face full of disappointment and said, "Beast God... you were once a Main God, okay? Fifty thousand? How could you even say that... I'm ashamed for you!"
Beast God: "???"
Even the Beast God was stunned... Was Chu Xinghe really this ruthless when it came to reverse bargaining?
"Eight... eighty thousand?" Even the Beast God panicked when he shouted out eighty thousand...
That's 80,000 Blood Spirit Stones... Am I, the Beast God, being a bit too greedy? Is Chu Xinghe getting impatient?
The Beast God guessed correctly; Chu Xinghe immediately became anxious upon hearing the number 80,000.
Chu Xinghe said, "What? Only 80,000? Beast God, if you're not good at math, why don't you go learn from Ma Liang for a few days?"
Is it true that the highest level of mathematics in your Spirit Beast Continent is only 80,000?
As the saying goes, "The bolder the god, the greater the harvest," so as a deity, are you, Beast God, such a stingy fellow?
"How about... nine... ninety thousand?" The Beast God panicked now, adding Blood Spirit Stones by ten thousand... these are Blood Spirit Stones...
This is unlike ordinary spirit stones; it's Blood Spirit Stone, even more precious than Nine-Colored Spirit Stone... Adding ten thousand might not sound like much, but ten thousand could buy a medium-to-large sect, you know?
Chu Xinghe didn't know whether the Beast God was panicking or not... Chu Xinghe only knew that he had initially thought the Beast God had some kind of conspiracy.
But seeing your current behavior, I know I, Chu Xinghe, was wrong...
Given the Beast God's shabby appearance, what malicious intentions could he possibly have?
Looking at the Beast God with a sorrowful expression, Chu Xinghe thought... Beast God... Think about it, although I am here to invite the White Tiger Holy Venerable, don't I also need you, Beast God, to personally write a letter to persuade the Protector Saint Venerable to come?
Who is your identity Beast God? Are your handwritten works just for free?
"So... 100,000?" The Beast God gritted his teeth and shouted out a number that even he found outrageous!
But Chu Xinghe sighed again... saying, "Beast God, you are a Main God... Think about your peak era, how much would you have to pay to take action then?"
The Beast God didn't know how much his opponent would have to pay if he attacked at his peak; all Beast God knew was that Chu Xinghe was definitely up to something...
Well... we agreed that I, the Beast God, would scheme against you, Chu Xinghe... I wanted to rip you off with your spirit stones... But then you started haggling over the price without warning, and suddenly you've reduced my 20,000 Blood Spirit Stones to 100,000... You, Chu Xinghe, are definitely trying to scam me, aren't you?
Just as the Beast God was racking his brains trying to figure out what Chu Xinghe was plotting, Chu Xinghe spoke up first.
Chu Xinghe held the Beast Gods in utter contempt for those whose power increased by tens of thousands!
Can't a Main God have a broader mind?
Can't you have a broader perspective?
Couldn't they have raised the price even more drastically?
Therefore, Chu Xinghe immediately stated that while this action might seem to involve the White Tiger Holy Venerable, it actually requires the help of the Beast God. Thus, the Blood Spirit Stones are not only for the White Tiger Holy Venerable, but also for the Beast God. So, giving him 200,000 isn't unreasonable, is it?
Beast God: "?"
Although we've asked the White Tiger Holy Venerable for help this time... the Four Sacred Beasts of Spirit Beast Island are said to be bound by life and death. If we only give the White Tiger and not the other sacred beasts, what will the Azure Dragon Society think?
What will Vermilion Bird think?
What should Xuanwu think?
Wouldn't this be detrimental to the unity of the Four Sacred Beasts? We asked for their help, and now we're undermining their unity? How can we face the White Tiger Holy Venerable?
So shouldn't we also prepare 200,000 for the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu as a family?
Beast God: "??"
Now that we have the Four Sacred Beasts, what about the other spirit beasts on Spirit Beast Island?
As the saying goes, sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone. So, for the sake of happiness for the entire Spirit Beast Island, let's allocate an extra 200,000 to let the Four Sacred Beasts hold a lucky draw on the Spirit Beast Island, randomly selecting various spirit beasts to bestow Blood Spirit Stones, and giving other spirit beasts a chance to advance. Isn't that a win-win situation?
Beast God: "???"
Chu Xinghe said that by that calculation, they would need to prepare at least one million Blood Spirit Stones. But what if White Tiger refuses? If White Tiger refuses, wouldn't they have to give White Tiger more money?
So, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable for us to prepare an extra million, bringing a total of two million Blood Spirit Stones to Spirit Beast Island?
Beast God: "..."
The Beast God was completely stunned... At this moment, the Beast God's mind was filled with Chu Xinghe's words...
Two million Blood Spirit Stones... What does that even mean? The Beast God said that even in his prime, he had never seen so many Blood Spirit Stones!
Regardless of what the Beast God thought, Chu Xinghe was extremely satisfied with this round of price negotiation!
We managed to negotiate the price down from 20,000 to 2 million, we've lost so much money this time!
Chu Xinghe immediately sought out Senior Brother Feng Fei, hoping he could help prepare Blood Spirit Stones. However, upon inquiry, Senior Brother Feng Fei explained that he already had too many resources at his disposal, and he had delegated the management of Blood Spirit Stones to Wei Buhui.
Chu Xinghe rushed to the Dark Moon Palace get the spirit stones from Wei Buhui, but as soon as he arrived, Chu Xinghe was stunned...
Um... is today the day for a hack-and-slash party?
Has Wei Buhui already started slashing?
