A Million, Oh, a Million-Enough to Spend for a Lifetime!
"Alas!" Bai He sighed, forcibly suppressing his heartache, and said, "Your His Highness the Saint Son, there is something I do not understand."
"Please speak," Lin Hai said solemnly.
"With your abilities, you could kill someone and take their blood without anyone in the entire Speed Clan being able to stop you. Why would you exchange something so valuable for it?" Bai He stared intently at Lin Hai, trying to see if there was any sign of interest in his eyes.
This will determine his attitude towards Lin Hai from now on.
"Kill people for blood?" Lin Hai shook his head, a look of utter helplessness on his face. "Our Spirit Hall is a legitimate Soul Master organization, not Fallen Spirit Master Alliance."
"While there was conflict between us back then, it was for a reason. So much time has passed, the Spirit Hall can't possibly seek revenge now!"
"Believe it or not, I'm here today to discuss business. It's a mutually agreeable arrangement; I won't force you."
Lin Hai shrugged, appearing quite nonchalant.
Bai He nodded, his impression of Lin Hai improving somewhat.
Judging from the words and actions of this Holy Son, he is indeed very different from what he had imagined.
But he absolutely refused to believe in the idea of "mutual consent."
Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, the weaker party never truly has a choice.
"Then please His Highness the Saint Son price, Your Highness!" Bai He said in a deep voice, already prepared to give it away for free.
Should I make the bid?
Suddenly, a line from Ning Fengzhi's past life flashed through Lin Hai's mind, and he blurted out:
"I want five hundred drops, and I'll pay ten thousand Gold Soul Coin for each drop, how about it?"
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin— " The grandfather and grandson exclaimed in shock at the same time, their voices rising several octaves.
"Your His Highness the Saint Son, I admire your strength, but don't think that my Speed Clan is easy to bully!" Bai He said angrily, his face showing anger.
Even Bai Chenxiang, who was standing to the side, looked displeased, feeling that her affections had ultimately been misplaced.
Lin Hai was taken aback upon hearing this.
Judging from their expressions, he vaguely understood the situation; he had inadvertently set the price too high.
This old man was the kind of person who would spend 120 Gold Soul Coin to buy 200 Godly Zhuge Crossbow in his previous life!
For the Speed Clan, who have relied on the support of the other three clans for many years, 10,000 Gold Soul Coin is probably an enormous sum of money that they would never even dare to dream of.
Thinking of this, he directly took out a gold card and said:
"You can accept this one million Gold Soul Coin as a deposit, senior."
"Furthermore... the Hidden Weapon aren't just the one I have, but a complete set. I can calculate the cost price for you, senior, based on the number the Speed Clan needs later."
"We'll exchange money for goods at the time, how about that?" Lin Hai smiled slightly and handed the gold card forward.
"This..." The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, both feeling as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
Bai Chenxiang even pinched herself subconsciously to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
They actually gave it to me!
The Bai He's body trembled slightly, its gaze shifting back and forth between the golden card and the Lin Hai.
What does 10,000 Gold Soul Coin mean?
The Speed Clan, consisting of several hundred members, has probably only spent tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin in the more than ten years since they left the Clear Sky Sect!
Most of these donations came from the other three tribes out of consideration for past relationships.
Every gathering of the Four Single-Attribute Clans was the scene he looked forward to the most, yet also the scene he least wanted to recall.
They hope to receive some financial assistance to get through the crisis, but they are unwilling to abandon their dignity to accept charity.
But now someone is telling him that the money he earned over a decade by sacrificing his reputation only required a few drops of blood?
The contrast was so stark that he found it hard to accept at first.
A moment later, the Bai He shakily raised its hand, but after shaking it for a long time, it still couldn't grasp the gold card.
A million, a million, more than you could ever spend in a lifetime...
In the end, Bai Chenxiang couldn't bear to watch any longer and gently helped him up.
As she turned away, the little girl secretly glanced at Lin Hai, her eyes filled with guilt and a hint of barely perceptible reproach.
She admitted she had misunderstood him, and acknowledged that poverty had indeed limited her imagination, but this guy's asking price was truly outrageous...
Lin Hai patiently waited until Bai He put the gold card away before speaking again:
"As for the second deal, it's related to Miss Xiangxiang."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang lowered her head slightly, blushing as she fiddled with the hem of her clothes.
This guy, he was just calling her Miss Bai, and now he's calling her Miss Xiangxiang?
"Your His Highness the Saint Son, please speak." Bai He's tone was noticeably gentler than before.
Clearly, the one million Gold Soul Coin had an effect.
"I know that the biggest drawback of the Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul is its lack of offensive power," Lin Hai said slowly, his gaze sweeping over Bai Chenxiang.
"I have a way to solve Xiangxiang's Martial Soul problem, and at the same time, to rapidly increase her Soul Power."
Um?
The grandfather and grandson looked up at the same time, both with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Both of them initially thought Lin Hai wanted to win over the Speed Clan through a marriage alliance, so how did it suddenly turn into a discussion about Martial Soul?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Spirit Hall is such a huge enterprise. Even the sect leaders of the Lower Four Sects who marry into the Spirit Hall can only reach the level of elder or bishop.
How could a dignified Holy Son of the Spirit Hall possibly marry into a family like theirs?
Bai Chenxiang felt somewhat disappointed.
Although they knew that their positions and identities meant they were destined to be apart, youthful infatuation defied reason.
Bai He, on the other hand, was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Please explain in detail, Your His Highness the Saint Son."
Although Lin Hai made it very clear that he was only addressing his granddaughter's Martial Soul issue, not the issue of the Sharp-tailed Swallow's Martial Soul.
But for the Bai He, that was enough.
As long as the granddaughter can break free from the limitations of her Martial Soul, she will surely have a better future, and may even have her own page in the family genealogy.
"There are some herbs in this world that are called 'Immortal Herb ' because of their extremely high quality and amazing medicinal effects," Lin Hai said slowly.
"The Clan Leader Yang of the Breaking Clan should be well aware of this."
He paused, then continued:
"And if Soul Master consumes Immortal Herb that matches their own Martial Soul attribute, it will have a transformative effect."
"If it is further refined into Elixir Pill with the help of other auxiliary medicines, it will be enough to allow many low-level Soul Master to Martial Soul Evolution."
"By using different Immortal Herb and auxiliary medicines according to the characteristics of different Martial Soul, the direction of evolution can be controlled to a certain extent."
"It's not difficult to make the Sharp-tailed Swallow Martial Soul both offensive and fast."
Lin Hai spoke eloquently, and every word he uttered made Bai He's eyes light up.
Among the Four Single-Attribute Clans, Bai He had the most contact with Yang Wudi and had the best relationship with him.
Recalling their conversations over the years, it seems the other person did indeed mention such miraculous herbs.
At the time, he even considered that his family's heirloom Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng might be among them.
Moved by the other party's selfless help, I almost gave them the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng as a return gift several times.
But I always hesitated at the last minute.
After all, it was passed down from their ancestors, and giving it to Yang Wudi... it feels like a son selling his grandfather's land.
