Chapter 916: The Wealthy Phoenix Clan

Yin Qi thought for a moment and said, "For a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root, one portion of Golden Immortal Liquid; for an Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, two types for one portion of Golden Immortal Liquid; for a Middle-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, four types for one portion; for a Lower-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, eight types for one portion."

"As for Acquired Spiritual Roots, sixteen portions of Supreme-grade for one portion; thirty-two portions of Upper-grade for one portion;"

"sixty-four types of Middle-grade for one portion; one hundred and twenty-eight types for one portion."

"Good!"

Kong Xuan nodded without hesitation: "I will contact our clan leader shortly."

Yin Qi then asked: "What are your plans for the future? If you are willing to assist my Great Shang, I shall appoint you as the Protector Divine Beast, and you will also receive a share of the fortune of my Yin Shang and the Human Race."

"Then many thanks, Great King."

Kong Xuan gladly accepted this appointment.

He understood the strength and foundation of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty; even if it did not truly unify the Honghuang Human Race, occupying one-tenth, or even one-fourth of the Primordial Continent, was still very possible.

He was on the verge of breaking through to Quasi-Saint and was truly in need of massive amounts of fortune.

The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty was flourishing, and it was highly likely that he could use the national momentum to achieve the Quasi-Saint realm in one go.

Furthermore, he already had the task of protecting Yin Shang.

Yin Qi could not help but say happily: "Good. On the day of the sacrifice, I will make the official announcement."

………

The Phoenix Clan's response was swift.

The next morning, Kong Xuan arrived at Zichen Hall again.

He handed Yin Qi a special Space Artifact and said: "Great King, this was sent over by my clan overnight, including one type of Supreme Innate Spiritual Root, eight types of Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, thirty-five types of Middle-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, fifty-two types of Lower-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, as well as Acquired Spiritual Roots..."

Listening to Kong Xuan's introduction, Yin Qi was also shocked.

He had expected the Phoenix Clan to be wealthy and have a deep foundation, but he had not expected it to be this deep.

Indeed, it is good to be born early.

This time, the Phoenix Clan brought out a total of ninety-seven types of Innate Spiritual Roots and nine hundred and eight types of Acquired Spiritual Roots. According to the exchange price Yin Qi gave yesterday, he needed to pay forty portions of Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid.

No wonder the Phoenix Clan was so proactive.

It was merely paying out some spiritual root branches, which was of no great consequence.

But Yin Qi did not lose out either.

With these spiritual roots planted in his Inner Heaven and Earth, he could harvest a large number of Innate Spiritual Roots and Acquired Spiritual Roots, and in the future, he would be able to refine more types of pills, and even Eight-Turn Golden Pills.

"Good!"

Yin Qi was also very straightforward.

After receiving the Space Artifact, he delivered the forty portions of Evolution Fluid on the spot.

This time, it completely emptied him out.

However, as long as the Primordial Mall was still there, he could continuously obtain the divine materials needed to refine Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid.

And these spiritual roots could continuously be used to refine Seven-Turn Golden Pills.

"Perhaps the prices I set for the bounties on the Bounty App are still not high enough."

Yin Qi suddenly thought.

He had launched the Bounty App for some time, and he had collected quite a few seeds or branches of Acquired Spiritual Roots.

But not a single Innate Spiritual Root.

Previously, he did not have enough Seven-Turn Golden Pills and Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid for his own use, so he was naturally reluctant to part with them.

Instead, he used other pills and Dharma Treasures as substitutes.

If he could collect a large number of Innate Spiritual Roots, he did not believe he would be unable to refine Eight-Turn Golden Pills.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi made a decision in his heart.

"Regarding the matter of the Five Emperors, does your clan leader have any response?"

Kong Xuan shook his head and said: "Great King, our clan leader does not know either. Perhaps only the Saints know their whereabouts."

Yin Qi just nodded.

He was only curious about the whereabouts of the Five Emperors; it was not that he had to know.

……

Inner Heaven and Earth.

The Plantation. It should be renamed the Spiritual Root Garden now.

After breaking through to Quasi-Saint, the time flow in the Time Array was not only faster, having increased to two thousand times the speed, but the range had also expanded to ten thousand mu, enough to plant these spiritual roots.

As the branches of the spiritual roots were planted into the ground, countless Spirit Qi swarmed over, and they grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, among which the Parasol Tree was particularly eye-catching.

Half an hour later, the Parasol Tree had grown to ten zhang tall, with lush branches and leaves.

Its Tree Trunk was golden, and the maple leaves were red.

Looking from afar, it was like a large mass of intensely burning flames, surrounded by rich Law of Fire, and the area for hundreds of meters around it was a Sacred Land for practicing fire-type techniques.

However, to wait for the seeds to mature, one would still need to wait three thousand years.

Which was one and a half years in the outside world.

……

"Xian Ling!"

"Master."

Please... do... bookmark... the... book...!

"Modify the rewards in the bounties, change them to Seven-Turn Golden Pills. As for the price, calculate it based on the rewards I gave the Phoenix Clan."

"Yes, Master."

Previously, the bounties were aimed at everyone.

Only now did he suddenly realize that Innate Spiritual Roots are generally held by major powers, such as the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin, the Wu Clan, the Demon Race, the Sea of Blood, and even the various Saints.

If the reward is insufficient, they would not even bother to pay attention.

But the Seven-Turn Golden Pill is absolutely attractive.

At the same time, he marked it as "Seven-Turn Golden Pill" to divert attention and frame Laozi, because the Seven-Turn Golden Pill is Laozi's signature, and no one in Honghuang can refine it except Laozi.

He is very much looking forward to seeing how the various Saints will feel when they suddenly discover that the person behind the Heavenly Dao Network is actually Laozi.

Will Yuanshi Tianzun break with Laozi?

……

As expected.

Once the reward on the bounty was modified, the entire Honghuang was stirred into a sensation.

"Heavens, it is actually a Seven-Turn Golden Pill. Could the person behind the Heavenly Dao Network be the Saint Laozi?"

"There are many Innate Spiritual Roots and Acquired Spiritual Roots in Honghuang, which means the person behind the Heavenly Dao Network needs to produce a large number of Seven-Turn Golden Pills; only Laozi can bring those out."

"Previously, when auctioned on the Primordial Mall, there was only one Seven-Turn Golden Pill, which could be explained as having been obtained through certain channels, but how can this be explained now?"

"It makes sense now; without Saint-level cultivation, how could one open up the Heavenly Dao Network? The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is the orthodox lineage of the Human Race, and Laozi is the Human Teachings Sect Leader, so supporting the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is naturally logical."

"What a pity, I only have one high-grade Acquired Spiritual Root; I wonder if they want the whole plant?"

…………

Kong Xuan, as well as the Fire Phoenix far away in the Phoenix Realm, were both suspicious and uncertain.

They had just completed a transaction with Di Qi, and immediately after, the reward on the bounty was changed; that is, the Golden Immortal Liquid was replaced with the Seven-Turn Golden Pill, with the exchange price remaining exactly the same.

This person behind the scenes is definitely the supporter behind Di Qi.

And it must be Laozi.

Not to mention others, the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan possess no fewer Innate Spiritual Roots and Acquired Spiritual Roots than they do; they will certainly have things to trade and will accept the bounty.

In other words, the person behind the scenes must produce at least eighty Seven-Turn Golden Pills.

In the entire Honghuang, besides Laozi, who could bring that out?

"I really didn't expect that the supporter behind the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is actually Laozi; it is unexpected, yet reasonable. I can only say that Laozi acted too well and deceived everyone."

…………

"So that's how it is."

Nuwa was also suddenly enlightened.

She had previously suspected that the Yang God was a disciple of Laozi.

It was just that this guess was later overturned by herself, because the Yang God had once killed Taiyi Zhenren without hesitation, which did not seem like something Laozi would do.

After all, at that time, the relationship between Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun was still very good.

But now, she has no choice but to believe it.

Because for this bounty, the person behind the scenes needs to produce over a hundred Seven-Turn Golden Pills, and only Laozi can bring those out. (End of this chapter)
