Having received the money, Zhang Junbao felt relieved. Even without the internal pricing from the War God Palace, he still had the means to obtain the Water of Life.
Others may think his wealth came too quickly, but only Zhang Junbao himself knows how much risk it took for him to fight his way out of a horde of monsters.
If he made even one mistake, he would become food for the monsters. During that time, he experienced countless life-or-death battles.
Effort and reward are proportional; behind every piece of monster material lies Zhang Junbao's blood and sweat, earned through life-risking battles.
Now that he had the funds, he felt relieved. Looking at Qian Duo, he asked, " Uncle Qian, do you have any connections to obtain the Water of Life?"
" The Water of Life, hailed as a martial artist's second life? Do you need this?" Qian Jun asked.
"Yes, because of my recklessness, my father was framed by our enemies and lost a leg. I found out online that as long as there is the Water of Life, a severed limb can regenerate. Is that true?"
"It's true that the Water of Life can regenerate severed limbs. Not to mention severed arms and legs, even half of the body can grow back," Qian Jun exclaimed.
"However, this thing is said to have been made using the essence of the invincible King-level monster ' Earth Dragon King,' which surpasses even the Lord-level, as the main material."
There are only a handful of Earth Dragon King in the entire world. Therefore, every drop of the Water of Life is incredibly expensive and extremely rare. Online marketplaces simply don't sell it. Our alliance doesn't have any in stock either. The price has already been inflated to 30 billion Huaxia Currency per drop, and even then, there's no market for it.
It's normal for someone with Qian Duo to have access to information about the Water of Life.
However, Zhang Junbao knew that the so-called use of the Earth Dragon King's essence to manufacture the product was just a trick by the America Alliance to raise the price.
"Moreover, our country lacks the technology to manufacture this ' Water of Life,' which is controlled by the America. Having key technologies controlled by others makes things difficult."
" Uncle Qian, do you have a way to get it?" Zhang Junbao asked expectantly.
"You think too highly of me. The Water of Life is always auctioned off. The War God Palace does have some, but I'm not the Wargod, so I'm not qualified to enter the War God Palace."
"If you want to get your hands on the Water of Life outside, you can only wait until America needs money and then release a few portions." Qian Jun shook his head. This level of treasure was beyond the reach of a regional manager like him.
"Moreover, every time the Water of Life is released, the price is driven up very high. I remember the last time it was auctioned off for a sky-high price of 30 billion Huaxia Currency."
"I almost forgot, you're now a tycoon with over 30 billion yuan in assets." Qian Jun had just finished his remark when he remembered that Zhang Junbao already had 30 billion yuan in assets.
He wouldn't be thinking of using that 30 billion to buy a share, would he?
"Is there no way to get one? Oh well, I'll just go to the War God Palace and get one when I become Wargod."
Zhang Junbao wasn't discouraged by not getting the Water of Life from Qian Duo, because he knew that once he reached the War God Level, obtaining a portion of the Water of Life wouldn't be difficult.
The next morning, in Yangzhou City, at Zhang Junbao Mingyue Residential Area.
The family had just finished breakfast when Zhang Junbao's mother, Yang Fei, was preparing to push Zhang Anbao out for a walk.
"Mom, don't rush to go for a walk with Dad yet. I have something to say. Xiaolin, come over too." Zhang Junbao gathered the family together for a family meeting in the living room.
"Hehe, Junbao, what's up?" Zhang Anbao was in a good mood. Although he was crippled, his son had become a martial artist and successfully returned from the Wilderness Zone, which made him content.
"Dad, I've always felt bad about your leg problem; I think I was inconsiderate."
Zhang Junbao said apologetically.
"Haha, which young person hasn't been impulsive? Your old man was impulsive back then too."
Your mother was a lady from a respectable family back in the day. If it weren't for your father taking the opportunity to hold onto your mother tightly when the monsters attacked, your mother would never have looked at me!
"Don't worry, just go do what you need to do. Your mother's here with you, so everything's fine. Don't feel guilty," Zhang Anzhong said with a smile.
"What is the old man saying in front of the child?" Yang Fei blushed, but Yang Fei was also deeply moved when she remembered how Zhang Anzhong had risked his own safety to pull her away to escape when the monsters attacked.
"Dad, what I want to say is that I have a way to restore your leg."
"What? Junbao, you're not kidding, are you?" Zhang Anzhong excitedly propped himself up with his hands, but Yang Fei helped him up.
"I'm not kidding, look at this." Zhang Junbao took out his laptop, projected it onto the TV, and opened the Limit Home's War General Level forum.
He also opened the ' Water of Life ' post that he had saved.
The Water of Life is rarely discussed in the forum.
Because this thing is so rare, almost no warrior at the War General Level can get their hands on it, so naturally there's very little information about it. However, there are still a dozen or so related posts.
"Using the essence of the SS-level King-level monster ' Earth Dragon King,' a being surpassing even the Lord-level, as the main material, it can regenerate severed arms and legs? As long as it's not dead, even the most severely crippled can grow back?" Zhang Anzhong was completely stunned by the description in this post, and his eyes lit up.
Both the ingredients and the efficacy of the product shocked the whole family.
"Priceless but unavailable? A recent sample of the Water of Life ' fetched a staggering 30 billion Huaxia Currency?" Zhang Anzhong, who was extremely excited, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
He had run his own business and knew how outrageous a price of 30 billion Huaxia Currency was.
I've learned from casual conversations with other martial arts practitioners' families in the neighborhood that it's already quite remarkable for a martial arts practitioner to earn one or two hundred million a year.
30 billion? That would take 300 years!
" Junbao, 30 billion!" Zhang Anzhong was excited, but also helpless.
"Yeah, bro, 30 billion. Even among Huaxia's super-rich, how many have assets exceeding 30 billion?"
"Hehe, why would I tell you if there was no hope? I've already looked into it. The 30 billion is just a trick by the America government to make money. In reality, you can buy one share for just over 10 billion," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"'Only' a little over 10 billion? Brother, even if you've become a martial artist, you don't need to talk so arrogantly, do you?" Zhang Lin blinked, suddenly feeling that she couldn't understand her brother.
Ten billion, or "just enough"? When did ten billion become a small amount of money?
Zhang Junbao gave her a light tap on the head, clearly annoyed.
"Is that how you see your brother? Do you remember when I told you I'd sponsor you some monster materials? Didn't I bring back a lot of monster materials from the Wilderness Zone? I sold them all to the Limits Dojo."
Now, Dad, I can tell you with certainty that your son can afford a bottle of the Water of Life!
At this moment, Zhang Junbao confidently uttered the words he had kept in his heart for a long time.
At the same time, I showed my family the balance information on my phone.
"One zero, two zeros, three zeros..." Zhang Lin counted one by one with her finger, and when she finally finished counting, she was stunned, "31,100,000,000!"
31.1 billion!
The whole family looked up at Zhang Junbao in astonishment. How long had he been a martial artist? How did he manage to get such a large sum of money in such a dangerous place as the Wilderness Zone? This was an absolutely terrifying fortune.
" Junbao, just how much risk did you take? I've heard that other martial artists in the neighborhood are already taking a huge risk to earn tens of millions in one trip, as they could be killed by monsters at any moment!"
You... you!
Yang Fei, the mother, was speechless. She pulled Zhang Junbao up and lifted his clothes to see if he had many scars on his body.
However, when Yang Fei stripped her son naked, she only saw a muscular physique and a smooth, resilient body that even she envied; she didn't notice any wounds.
"Mom, I'm fine."
There are risks, but definitely not as big as you think. They earn less because they're weaker; your son is a genius!
I'm better than them, so naturally I earn more money than them and faster!
Zhang Junbao reluctantly put on his clothes, thankfully his mother didn't pull down his pants.
As his cultivation level gradually improved, his body's cell repair ability also increased. Moreover, he had eaten a lot of monster meat in the Wilderness Zone, which were all priceless items. Ordinary injuries would not leave scars after healing.
Even the wounds from when he was pierced by the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle and the Sword-Beaked Dragon Eagle are no longer visible.
"However, the Water of Life is only auctioned in the War God Palace. I will be going to the Global Headquarters the Limits Dojo to participate in the ' Elite Training Camp ' in a while. As long as I become the Wargod there, I can quickly bid for the Water of Life."
Then Dad, you'll be able to have your leg regenerated and, just like before, take Mom for walks everywhere!
Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
The Wargod —that's the legendary pinnacle of martial arts, but in his son's words, becoming the Wargod doesn't seem to be too difficult.
Zhang Anzhong didn't know how strong the Wargod, but he did know that among all the martial artists in the entire Mingyue Residential Area, there wasn't a single Wargod. It was even uncertain whether there was Wargod in Yangzhou City at all.
Looking at his son, who had unknowingly grown into a strong and upright man, Zhang Anzhong smiled.
"Good! You're truly my son! Dad is waiting for your Water of Life! Hahaha..."
The Zhang Family was especially happy that day.
Zhang Anzhong knew his son had put in countless hours of hard work behind the scenes, but it was a promise between men, and as a father, he would always stand behind Zhang Junbao and support him!
