Exchange Conditions, Allocation of Shares, Binding Interests
Since losing contact with the Clear Sea Deep Clear Space, many High Tier races have lost access to many High Tier resources.
Only a few hundred years have passed, and the various races still have considerable reserves and resources; otherwise, the Milky Way would have become even more chaotic.
Then, Wang An's next words calmed everyone present down.
"But to be honest, I don't have much Primordial True Ancestral Qi left. After all, I've only just entered this realm, and advancing to a spiritual treasure has consumed a lot of resources."
"I have calculated in detail that if you can find two medium-sized grotto-heavens, plus one type of High Tier, uncollected Five Elements resource, regardless of size or quantity, you can exchange it for a strand of Primordial True Ancestral Qi."
"If it's a large-scale grotto-heaven, two can be exchanged without needing other High Tier resources."
"As for small-scale grotto-heavens, they don't even qualify as High Tier territories, so they're not of much use to us."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted, and they all began to calculate the gains and losses in their minds.
A small-scale grotto-heaven, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is created by near- High Tier angels or those with Divine Core. Its status needs to be attached to the creator's status to remain intact. Only through such slow cultivation can it have a slight chance of advancing to a medium-sized grotto-heaven.
A medium-sized grotto-heaven, spanning 100,000 li in circumference, can be opened by High Tier experts.
If no materials are invested during the creation process, it will take thousands of years to stabilize and evolve after completion. At the same time, the deeper the cultivator's cultivation, the less time is required.
The [Great Primordial Heaven] and [One Sword Heaven] that Wang An has established over the years have all required the consumption of precious High Tier resources and materials to stabilize in a short period of time.
As for the large grotto-heavens, they span a radius of one million li.
Aside from being cultivated using High Tier creature corpses, nebula essences, or other foundational materials, or slowly grown from medium-sized cave heavens, only High Tier Upper Stage experts who have initially cultivated the three laws have the ability to create such a cave heaven, and it also requires a considerable amount of time to stabilize.
Therefore, to make the entire transaction most cost-effective, it's worthwhile to not add any High Tier materials when opening up the cave, even if it takes thousands of years to exchange for a single Primordial True Ancestral Qi.
If one could find some unclaimed caves, that would be an even greater stroke of luck.
Therefore, after a little thought and calculation, the four people present came up with a plan.
As for medium-sized and large-sized grotto-heavens, whether they could only refine so Primordial True Ancestral Qi as he said, they wouldn't ask any further questions.
This is their livelihood; would they just tell others? Even if they did, others might not believe them.
The most powerful and influential [Eternal Dharma King] was the first to agree.
"Yes, our Gold Human Race has obtained quite a few medium-sized cave heavens that cannot be inherited from the ruins of the rising civilization. We can trade them with you, fellow Daoist."
The assembled kings, hearing his quick agreement, harbored some resentment. "Your Gold Human Race has existed for millions of years, naturally possessing profound resources. You probably have over a hundred medium-sized grotto-heavens within your territory, and large ones are not uncommon. The treasures you've obtained from ruins are countless. You're going to become incredibly powerful overnight."
Wang An agreed in principle, but he added one more point.
"Eternal, if these medium-sized grotto-heavens are dilapidated and their essence has been lost, they cannot refine any Primordial True Ancestral Qi."
"At least in its origin, it must reach the level of the early stages of the creation of a grotto-heaven to have any value."
[Eternal Dharma King] smiled slightly upon hearing this and nodded in agreement, "Of course. If Fellow Daoist Heavenly River had to spend his own resources, how could this business continue? I certainly won't let Fellow Daoist suffer a loss."
Seeing that the two had already begun discussing the relocation and takeover of the cave, [Queen of a Hundred Flowers] hurriedly spoke up.
"Heavenly River True Lord, our Elf Race is even more ancient than the Gold Human Race, and we have quite a few medium-sized grotto-heavens that we cannot utilize. I wonder what the exchange conditions are?"
Although Queen of a Hundred Flowers felt that Heavenly River's words meant that all the civilized races present were treated equally, she still needed to confirm the exchange conditions. After all, the other three families had received a lot of care and Shelter from Heavenly River True Lord, which was why she asked this question.
Wang An thought for a moment, then looked at the other three types of humans.
In terms of foundation and size, the Silver and Iron races are certainly not as good as the High Elf Race, but they helped us a lot in the early stages, so it would be unreasonable not to take care of them.
Therefore, he said, "Alright, my preliminary estimate is that it will take a hundred years to process ten medium-sized grotto-heavens at once."
"Let's divide it like this then."
"The Bronze Human Race will take 10%, the Silver Human Race 20%, the Gold Human Race 30%, the Elf Race 30%, and the remaining 10% will be left to the other civilizations."
"These are the preliminary allocations. If any party is unable to free up their own space within a short period, these allocations will be given to other civilizations."
"Of course, everyone here has priority in redeeming their items. You can redeem them whenever you have enough."
In fact, he only needed ten years to process ten medium-sized cave heavens, but he couldn't just keep refining them without doing anything, so he set a limit of one hundred years.
Upon hearing this, all parties considered the matter carefully, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and nodded in agreement.
[Queen of a Hundred Flowers] praised, "Heavenly River True Lord's move is very appropriate, thus taking care of all parties. You left this last bit behind, I suppose you were calculating against other humanoid races?"
The [True King Qingshang], who received the smallest share, didn't feel slighted; [Heavenly River True Lord]'s allocation was clearly a way of taking care of them.
The Bronze Human Race has only one High Tier being, and has only been High Tier civilization for 100,000 years. Its foundation is far inferior to the other three races, and a 10% share is enough for its needs.
Moreover, if he were to occupy too much, it would be inconsistent with his own strength and could very likely bring disaster upon himself. Therefore, he was grateful to Heavenly River True Lord in his heart.
When [Queen of a Hundred Flowers] said this, she naturally understood Wang An's intention in making this allocation.
They wanted to use this to win over other humanoid races and strengthen the human faction.
After all, the Beastman Alliance was too large, equivalent to the combined size of the Human Federation and the Humanoid Alliance. Although it was extremely disunited, the threat it posed to them was obvious.
Therefore, Wang An nodded and readily admitted, "That's right. The [Queen of a Hundred Flowers] previously sent me a message saying she represented the Humanoid Alliance, so I naturally couldn't refuse. If any party is willing to engage in the exchange, they can participate after my review."
The subtext of this statement is that I believe those who are not close to us will not pass the review and therefore cannot participate.
This is also to prevent certain individuals from acting as middlemen, helping hostile civilizations acquire Primordial True Ancestral Qi and enhance their strength.
In this way, Wang An uses the benefits of the Primordial True Ancestral Qi to bind the four major civilizations and races, and can even extend that benefits to other humanoid civilizations, ensuring that he will not be isolated because the benefits are too great.
Strategically unite the majority and make many friends.
Of course, Wang An also made a considerable profit from this transaction.
The two medium-sized grotto-heavens, even at the lowest possible level after stabilization, can produce approximately 1.5 Dao Primordial True Ancestral Qi.
Therefore, its profit is 0.5 Dao Primordial True Ancestral Qi, plus a portion of High Tier Five Elements resources, and the understanding of the true meaning of the laws and the expansion of Dao knowledge during the destruction and processing of the cave heaven.
You can cultivate your skills and earn resources at the same time.
