Chapter 980: Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree, Nether Moon Lotus (Second update, seeking votes)

"This is a branch of the Top-Grade Spiritual Root Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree; I obtained it only after calling in quite a significant favor."

Xiang Yutian was also in a difficult position; in order to gather enough treasures to exchange for a Darkness Profound Meaning Crystal as quickly as possible, he had truly exhausted all his efforts during this period.

The Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree belongs to the Low Grade Top-Grade Spiritual Root category; every few decades, it can produce a batch of Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit, which can assist Demon Pets in breaking through to the Demon King level.

Additionally, the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree is also one of the ten great Spiritual Roots separated from the World Tree.

Upon learning that this was a top-grade Earth Element Spiritual Root, Li Zhangsheng revealed a slight smile; having this branch of the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree meant he had successfully gathered the materials to upgrade the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng looked at the cut on the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree and revealed a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the cut, it should have been severed within the last few days, which also meant that Xiang Yutian knew the information regarding the location of the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree.

"As expected of the vast and resource-rich Tianling Empire; Second Prince, I am very curious as to who possesses this Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree?"

Li Zhangsheng complimented the Tianling Empire at the right moment, causing Xiang Yutian to reveal an expression of reflected glory.

"This is the treasure of His Majesty Wanyou King!"

Xiang Yutian did not hide it; after all, the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree was not his own treasure, and furthermore, many people knew about this matter.

Wanyou King is one of the Double-Character Kings won over by the Tianling Empire; he became famous over three hundred years ago and is a veteran Double-Character King. As for how strong his power is, Li Zhangsheng was not clear.

Upon learning it was Wanyou King, Li Zhangsheng temporarily extinguished the idea of targeting the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree.

Even so, he still kept this matter in his heart; perhaps it would be useful in the future.

"Second Prince, if there are only these, I am afraid they can only be exchanged for one Ten Directions Nether Pill!"

Although Xiang Yutian brought out many things, the Ten Directions Nether Pill, as an alchemical pill that assists in breaking through to the Demon King level, naturally has a value far exceeding ordinary Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasures.

"Wait, there is one more!"

At this moment, Xiang Yutian took a deep breath and then solemnly took out a vessel.

This was a special spatial treasure that possessed the function of a mustard seed containing the world; it appeared small, but was actually very large.

Li Zhangsheng took a look and discovered that there was a large amount of pitch-black liquid inside this vessel, with five seven-petaled, deep-blue lotus flowers floating on top.

As if thinking of something, Li Zhangsheng's gaze stared fixedly at these five lotus flowers.

"These are five Nether Moon Lotus flowers obtained from the Abyss; they have a certain chance to improve the quality of a Demon Pet, though it only applies to Demon Pets of below Superior Quality."

Xiang Yutian briefly introduced the effects of the Nether Moon Lotus; their Tianling Empire happened to have an Abyss Gate leading to the Abyss Plane where the Nether Moon Lotus is located, and to obtain these five Nether Moon Lotus flowers, they had truly paid a significant price.

Although the Nether Moon Lotus is only limited to Demon Pets of medium to low quality, it is a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from another plane that can directly improve the quality of a Demon Pet, giving it great research value.

However, the place of origin for the Nether Moon Lotus is fraught with crises; even Kings face the danger of falling, and the yield is limited.

It is also because of this that the value of the Nether Moon Lotus can be imagined.

For these five Nether Moon Lotus flowers and other treasures, it could be said that Xiang Yutian had exhausted everything he had.

"Finally gathered them all!"

Li Zhangsheng secretly thought to himself; he had once obtained the formula for the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill at Danyang Villa, which is a type of alchemical pill that can slightly improve the quality of a Demon Pet, and crucially, it has no restrictions on quality.

To refine the Moon Soul Star Snatching Pill, one needs to gather three main ingredients and over a hundred auxiliary ingredients.

In this year or so, Li Zhangsheng had already gathered all the materials except for the Nether Moon Lotus; with these five Nether Moon Lotus flowers, he could proceed to let Kailan begin the refining.

Ever since refining two Ten Directions Nether Pills last time, after digesting the experience during this period, Kailan could be said to have half a foot stepped into the realm of an Alchemy Master; even if the success rate of the pill is not as good as an Alchemy Master, he imagined it would not be too far off.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and said: "I can offer you two transaction plans: first, you can exchange these treasures for two Ten Directions Nether Pills; second, one Ten Directions Nether Pill and two Secondary Mystery Crystals. You have one minute to consider."

In terms of value, the five Nether Moon Lotus flowers have the highest value, followed by the Wutu Essence and the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree, and finally the Wood Element Crystal and the corpse of the Moon Elf.

Xiang Yutian had no objections and began to consider the gains and losses.

The effect of taking only the Ten Directions Nether Pill is not very good; after all, two Ten Directions Nether Pills cannot be taken together, but if paired with a Secondary Mystery Crystal, then the breakthrough effect is no worse than a genuine Profound Meaning Crystal.

However, what if the breakthrough fails? Then all previous efforts would be wasted; after all, the auxiliary breakthrough probability of the extra Secondary Mystery Crystal is too low.

The best method is naturally to obtain two Ten Directions Nether Pills and two Secondary Mystery Crystals; at that time, as long as his luck is not so bad that it angers heaven and man, Xiang Yutian could successfully advance to the King rank.

It is just that his bargaining chips were only these much.

Xiang Yutian really could not resist the temptation; after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he carefully said: "His Majesty, can I have them all?"

Li Zhangsheng looked at Xiang Yutian with slight surprise, but he did not immediately refuse; after thinking for a moment, he said: "It is possible, but the premise is that you must agree to three conditions of mine!"

"Which three conditions?"

Xiang Yutian's eyes held a bit more vigilance, yet it was well concealed.

"First, long-term cooperation and mutual exchange of needs; second, collect all information regarding the Dark Night King within one month; third, after you become a King, assist me in one action!"

After hearing Li Zhangsheng's three conditions, Xiang Yutian's brows could not help but furrow.

Of these three conditions, the first two were easy to talk about, but the third one was difficult; after all, Li Zhangsheng's strength is placed there, and if he assists him in one action, it is inevitable that there will be a risk of falling.

Li Zhangsheng seemed to see through Xiang Yutian's concerns and continued: "Rest assured, the premise of the third condition is within your capabilities; besides, you are the Second Prince of the Tianling Empire, this identity is ultimately still very useful!"

"Fine, I agree to you!"

Xiang Yutian gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

"Then swear by the Heavenly Dao!"

"Heavenly Dao above..."

After Xiang Yutian swore to the Heavenly Dao, he had a special feeling; in the dark, it seemed as if a pair of eyes had glanced at him.

This was not an illusion; anyone who swears by the Heavenly Dao will be supervised by the Heavenly Dao, and once the oath is violated, they will suffer a powerful backlash.

Soon, both sides completed the transaction.

"By the way, do not break through in the Dai Kingdom!"

Before Xiang Yutian left, Li Zhangsheng did not forget to give a word of advice.

If Xiang Yutian also breaks through in the Dai Kingdom, the Dark Night King will inevitably become more vigilant, which does not serve Li Zhangsheng's interests.
