Ge Yao was stunned and thought that she had heard wrong. She seemed to have heard an exaggerated number. "What?"
"A hundred trillion spirit seeds," Lu Yin said.
He realized that fifty trillion was too little. Spirit seeds came from the Ninth Firmament Universe, and only the heavens knew how many were there. The number of spiritualized universes was unknown as well, but the spiritualized universes had been developing for so many years, so there must be many spirit seeds.
Ge Yao had not expected Lu Yin's condition to be spirit seeds. This was equivalent to asking for money.
She recalled that Lu Sangtian had been collecting spirit seeds in order to limit the number of spiritualized cultivators. The outside world was mocking him, but he really did intend to do so.
If this had been before, Ge Yao would have said something, but she did not dare to say a word now.
Only when one understood one's position would one know what to say and what not to say.
Ge Yao left. No matter how ridiculous Lu Yin's condition was, she just had to report it to Yue Ya's God of Defense. Furthermore, this condition was not bad. Although the number was a little high, it was not difficult.
Lu Yin watched Ge Yao leave with anticipation. To Yue Ya, this small amount of spirit seeds was not a problem. So what was the next condition?
This girl did not think that he would only raise one condition, right?
Ge Yao left, and Lu Yin continued to dig at the bricks. His peaceful life was simple and unadorned.
Yu Sang Tian did not react, but Lu Yin did not care and continued to wait.
The Ninth Spirit continued to be chased by the Psyche Immortal.
During this time, people came to the valley from time to time to see Lu Yin, but he rejected them all.
There was also news from the Ark Region that Wu Jiang could be repaired, but it required a lot of materials.
Lu Yin was happy. Wu Jiang had carried them from the Tian Yuan Universe and had once carried the hopes of humanity's legacy. If it could be repaired, it would be an explanation to the Tian Yuan Universe.
Wu Jiang was also one of them.
Looking at the list of materials, Lu Yin knew what the next condition was.
Elsewhere, Yue Ya was using his influence to collect spirit seeds.
Although Yue Ya himself could not descend into the spiritualized universe, after countless years, he had built up his own influence there. For example, although the person who had brought the message to Yu Sang Tian had been dealt with by Master Green Grass, Yue Ya had more than one such person. Ge Yao was also one of Yue Ya's people in the spiritualized universe.
There were too many ways for a Lesser God to increase his influence.
For a time, the trade of spiritual seeds in the spiritualized universe became intense and crazy. No one knew where a group of people came from, but they crazily snatched spiritual seeds, traded them, plundered them, and even stole them. They did everything they could, causing many people in the spiritualized universe to suffer. This was especially so in the Grand Universal Domain. Just the General Chamber of Commerce alone had a few people who had moved the spiritual seeds away. They were discovered and locked up, but they would rather die than say why they had done so.
Lu Yin's one condition caused the entire spiritualized universe to go into a frenzy.
It was said that a maid from the Heavens Beyond Heaven wanted to steal the tree, but she was beaten to death by Lan.
When Yu Sang Tian heard this, his expression turned ugly. Yue Ya had been eyeing the spiritualized universe for a long time. Perhaps there were people from Xingfan among them.
One Sword's Only
However, it was difficult for these people to accomplish great things. At most, they could only gather resources and spread the word.
Finally, more than a month later, hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds were gathered and brought to the Southbound World by Ge Yao.
The disappearance of hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds caused rumors to spread throughout the spiritualized universe. The loss of such a large number of spirit seeds had a huge impact, and some people would never be able to cultivate their own spirit seeds.
This made them think of Wu Jiang. Previously, Wu Jiang had used the name of Lu Sang Tian and Yuanqi Sang Tian to mobilize resources several times, which had caused many people to be unable to cultivate. This time, it was even more serious.
It was so serious that it was no longer childish.
Everyone felt that Lu Yin's plan to use this method to limit the number of cultivators in the spiritualized universe was childish. However, if there came a day when he really managed to take away the spiritualized universe's spirit seed, then the spiritualized universe would truly be unable to produce any new cultivators.
This was not a joke.
Many people looked at Wu Jiang in the Ark Region. How many spirit seeds were there?
Many powerhouses had never considered collecting spirit seeds, but now, they had no choice but to do so.
If hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds were spread out, they could stretch across the land and make countless cultivators go crazy.
It was not that they wanted it for themselves, but that they could help many of their juniors.
In the spiritualized universe, one of the factors that restricted certain families and sects was spirit seeds. If they had enough spirit seeds, they could cultivate hundreds of millions of cultivators. Even if they did not pay any other resources and scattered these cultivators all over the universe, there would always be a few talented ones who would be able to walk out.
No matter how low the probability was, time would make this investment pay off.
Unfortunately, even the Grand Universe Chamber of Commerce would find it difficult to take out so many spirit seeds at once.
Ge Yao knew about many spirit seeds because she had never thought that she would be able to obtain so many in her cultivation life. Fortunately, she did not need to collect them.
The price she had paid was that the God of Defense at the Moon's Edge had been exposed for the sake of these spirit seeds.
Before coming to the Southbound World, she had thought that the God of Defense at the Moon's Edge would never have dreamed that her many years of planning would be exposed because of the spirit seeds.
"Not bad, not bad at all. Hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds.
Impressive. "Lu Yin praised and looked at Ge Yao." Now I believe what you said. You are indeed worthy of being called the God of Defense at the Moon's Edge. "
Ge Yao was helpless. Even the destruction of the Ru family would not make Lu Sangtian so happy.
While collecting the spirit seeds, she had also investigated the extent of Wu Jiang's collection of spirit seeds. When she got the number, she gasped.
Regardless of whether Lu Sangtian's approach was ridiculous or not, the number of spirit seeds he had collected was shocking. He had mobilized resources on a large scale in the name of Lu Sangtian several times. Coupled with the profits from the battle of Fu Heyuan, there were already hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds.
No matter how ridiculous his approach was, when the number reached this level, no one could laugh.
It had already had a great impact on the spiritualized universe.
"As long as Lu Sangtian is satisfied." Ge Yao's attitude was respectful.
Lu Yin grunted. "I am very satisfied. Okay, this is the next condition." As he spoke, a piece of paper floated lightly towards Ge Yao.
Ge Yao was stunned. "There is another condition?"
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows. "Why, can't I?"
Ge Yao stared at Lu Yin blankly.
Lu Yin leaned forward and stared at Ge Yao. "You don't think that I, a mere Lu Sangtian, would make a condition to the supreme God of Defense in the Ninth Heaven Universe just for resources, do you?"
"Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on the God of Defense?"
Ge Yao was speechless. What did this have to do with looking down on him?
Furthermore, it was not just resources, but hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds. Even the spiritualized universe was feeling threatened.
If she had the guts, she would have slapped this person. This was too much.
Lu Yin exhaled and leisurely rocked his chair. "If you are unwilling, then please leave. You can take these resources away if you want."
Ge Yao glanced at the cosmic rings. She had no intention of taking them away. That would be courting death.
She bowed to Lu Yin. "Lu Sangtian, please allow me to report this to the God of Defense."
Lu Yin waved a hand.
Ge Yao retreated.
"Hand."
Qing Yun walked over and extended her hand. She glanced at the cosmic rings. There were so many spirit seeds. She had never seen so many in her life. Perhaps even the Ninth Spirit had never seen so many spirit seeds.
Lu Yin looked up. "You want them?"
Qing Yun said, "I have never seen so many."
"Take as many as you want. After so long, I should give you something in return."
Qing Yun blinked. "What is it?"
She lowered her head and saw that Lu Yin was holding her hand. Her expression changed. She blushed with embarrassment, anger, and sullenness. She pulled her hand back and turned to leave.
Lu Yin was stunned. He watched Qing Yun leave angrily. What was going on?
This girl was too bold. She actually dared to run away?
Hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds were absorbed into the starry sky land in his heart. Spirit seeds were constantly melting into liquid on that land.
Lu Yin knew very well that the more liquid there was, the more useful it would be.
However, it was too slow. These spirit seeds had never been cultivated. Even if there were hundreds of trillions of them, they would only melt into a little bit of liquid. When the Ninth Firmament Universe had destroyed the cultivators of the Wei Territory, the spirit seeds of those cultivators had been cultivated. The size of the liquid they had melted into was on a completely different level from his own.
If all of his spirit seeds had been replaced with those that had been cultivated, there would have been at least a small lake on the land.
Lu Yin's gaze was heavy. The Ninth Firmament Universe was like raising venomous insects. They used humans as nourishment, cultivation as a path, and spirit seeds as containers to deliver that liquid to them. It was still alright in the past. When the cultivators died naturally, the spirit seeds would be taken away. Now, it had developed to forcefully plunder the spirit seeds.
Every time they plunder, a large number of cultivators would die.
Although the Tian Yuan Universe and the spiritualized universe were enemies, they were still humans. Lu Yin could empathize with them.
From Ge Yao's attitude, he could see the Ninth Firmament Universe's attitude. The Ninth Firmament Universe was superior, while the other three universes were inferior. They could treat the spiritualized universe like this, but they could also treat the Tian Yuan Universe like this.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin felt a strong sense of crisis.
If one day, all the cultivators of the spiritualized universe were robbed of their spirit seeds and died, who would be next?
A few days later, Ge Yao came and bowed to Lu Yin. "Lord Yue Ya has agreed to Lu Sangtian's conditions, but you also have conditions."
"I won't listen."
Ge Yao had not expected Lu Yin to be so decisive. "Lu Sangtian, Lord Yue Ya."
Lu Yin tapped his finger on the recliner, and the void rippled. The rumbling sound exploded in Ge Yao's ears, causing her to almost faint. "I've said it before. If you don't want to listen, then do it. If you don't, then forget it. You can take the spirit seeds away. I won't force you."
Ge Yao's face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground. Her body was numb.
On one side was Yue Ya's God of Defense, and on the other side was Lu Yin. She really did not know how to pass the message.
This Lu Sangtian was indeed as unscrupulous as the rumors said. He should have at least waited for people to finish speaking before taking action.
Ge Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She was helpless and fearful. She bowed again. "I'll take my leave first to fulfill this condition."
Lu Yin nodded and closed his eyes. He did not even look at her.
The list of materials given by the Boat Region was very long, and they were all materials that the Boat Region could not use on the Boundless Realm.
These materials could be found in Beyond Avalon, and the Grand Universal Territory could also be continuously collected. The major sects in the thirty-six domains would eventually collect them.
However, Yue Ya's influence had been used up when collecting hundreds of trillions of spirit seeds. The materials on this list were also a headache for him.
