Chapitre 315: Chapter 315: Lin Fan: Is that all...? (No offense intended)
Wu Sheng felt utterly exhausted. The Grandmaster's demands were truly high. Aside from responding with his eyes, he really didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, both sides were understanding and reasonable.
This applied to both Lin Fan and the Grandmaster.
"Let's go, the dragon vein isn't far from here."
Tiger Lord was full of anticipation. With such a combination, if they still couldn't obtain the treasure within the dragon vein, then no one could.
"Wait."
Wu Sheng stopped.
Matters that needed discussion still needed to be discussed. Fundamental principles couldn't be overlooked. Even though they had previously agreed to share, they still didn't know how to divide the spoils. If conflicts arose later, unless Lin Fan wasn't present, he was still confident in obtaining a portion. However, with Lin Fan here, how could he possibly compete?
"How much of the dragon vein's treasure can I get?"
This was the question he cared about most. Nothing else mattered.
Tiger Lord and Giant Eagle hadn't considered this issue.
Now that Wu Sheng had brought it up, they pondered. Some matters were better clarified beforehand.
"Do you think we'll go back on our word?" One-Eyed Man asked.
He was a man of professional ethics. If he agreed to cooperate, he would absolutely not renege. Wu Sheng made it seem as if he would.
Wu Sheng hurriedly said, "Of course not, it's just that some things are better clarified in advance."
"How much do you want?" One-Eyed Man asked.
For One-Eyed Man, if Wu Sheng asked for a bit much, it wasn't unacceptable. It depended on what kind of compensation the other party could offer in return.
Treasures were indeed important.
If Wu Sheng could offer more unique skills, he was willing to concede.
What humans needed most were the unique skills of Starry Sky experts.
Learning from others might not allow one to surpass them, but it could enhance one's own strength, providing a chance to contend with Starry Sky experts.
After some thought, Wu Sheng said, "Two shares for the two beast brothers, three shares for Lin Fan, Grandmaster, and you, and one share for myself. How about that?"
One-Eyed Man felt it was acceptable.
This distribution benefited them.
The two beast brothers pondered, feeling something wasn't quite right.
"What about me?" Little Bao asked.
He was ignored, not even considered. This dealt a significant blow to Little Bao's young heart.
Wu Sheng glanced at him.
Where did this little kid come from?
He directly ignored him, pretending not to see. This behavior dealt a second blow to Little Bao's young heart.
"Lin Fan, he doesn't take me seriously. I'm here too, why not give me a share? I'm so sad." Little Bao tugged on Lin Fan's arm, acting heartbroken, as if he were about to cry on the spot.
Wu Sheng said, "Children don't count."
Little Bao angrily put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and said loudly, "I'm not a child, I'm already a little adult! You're just looking down on me! As the son of the richest man, so many people don't dare to underestimate me, but you do! Little Bao is very angry now, and the consequences are very dire!"
At this moment, Lin Fan was like a doting father, stroking Little Bao's head and looking at Wu Sheng.
"Little Bao is already a little adult. You can't hurt his feelings. I hope you can apologize to Little Bao."
He spoke the gentlest words, yet gave off a dangerous feeling.
Wu Sheng knew when to yield. When encountering certain situations, taking the initiative to back down wasn't wrong. He wasn't afraid of anyone, except Lin Fan. The opponent's strength was completely unreasonable.
"I'm sorry."
Little Bao said, "Forget it, I, Little Bao, can be good friends with Lin Fan because I'm magnanimous and willing to forgive others' mistakes. I forgive you."
As he spoke, Little Bao's expression was very smug, as if he was impressed by his own generosity.
Wu Sheng felt helpless. My goodness, where did this talent come from?
Lin Fan said with satisfaction, "Little Bao, I'm proud of you."
"Of course." Little Bao raised his head.
A true talent.
Today's society lacked talents like Little Bao.
"Alright, add a share for you." Wu Sheng said, then looked at the two beast brothers, "You have no objections, right?"
Tiger Lord was a bit bewildered, not saying much. Even if he had objections, the discussion had reached this point, what else could he say? For them, obtaining the treasure within the dragon vein sooner was the priority.
The amount didn't matter.
As long as they could obtain it.
"Can my bodyguards get a share?" Little Bao asked.
Don't let Little Bao's young age fool you into thinking he was naive. He had already discerned the situation. Since the treasure was being divided by headcount, for his good friend Lin Fan, he had to ask for more. He would give it all to Lin Fan afterward; he couldn't let others benefit.
Moreover, he was a child, and he played this identity to the hilt. As long as he was thick-skinned, he could get more. As for these adults, they would definitely be embarrassed to refuse until they felt it was excessive.
Then he would just say, "Fine, if you don't want to give it, then don't give it. I'm just a child."
Easy to get away with.
"Ahem!"
One-Eyed Man coughed lightly, "Little Bao, don't be silly. That's enough."
Being able to give Little Bao a share was already good. Asking for too much could easily ruin things. Moderation was the key to development.
"I'm not being silly. If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. I don't lack anything." Little Bao said.
Lin Fan smiled and gently stroked Little Bao's head. What a lovely child. He wasn't interested in any treasures. He came to Changbai Mountain just to take Little Bao sightseeing.
Beautiful scenery could indeed soothe one's mood.
Seeing the smile bloom on Little Bao's face, he felt very satisfied.
"Two beast brothers, please lead the way." Wu Sheng said.
Then, the group headed deeper.
Bei Tao, who was with Mu Hao, had always wanted to get some of the latest news from the Starry Sky experts, but now he found the situation was becoming increasingly unclear.
Starry Sky experts were dangerous.
As a high-ranking member of the Shadow Society, he wanted to cooperate with the Starry Sky experts, but after being with Mu Hao, he discovered things weren't simple. The Starry Sky experts looked down on humans.
Perhaps they could only be servants.
Bei Tao was unwilling to be a servant. He wanted equality, mutual cooperation, and to conspire for the world.
At this moment, there was movement around them.
"Mu Hao..." A figure appeared. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhuang Xiao, who had come from afar with members of the Zhuang family.
Mu Hao looked at the newcomer with an expressionless face, "What are you doing here?"
Although they were both Starry Sky clans, the relationship between them wasn't good enough to be considered brotherly. They would greet each other upon meeting and then go their separate ways, neither provoking the other.
Zhuang Xiao said, "Wu Sheng is mingling with humans. He used clan treasures earlier to teleport. I think they've discovered the secret of Changbai Mountain and are now going to retrieve the treasure. I remember you have some skill in divination. Why don't we cooperate? You divine their whereabouts, and after obtaining the treasure, we can split it equally."
The Starry Sky Mu Clan had divination techniques, and all clan members learned them.
Mu Hao's divination skills weren't profound. He was at a half-baked level, nine out of ten times inaccurate. He didn't even trust himself, yet unexpectedly, Zhuang Xiao came to him.
Was his brain damaged?
"Are you serious?" Mu Hao asked.
He then looked at Zhuang Ming, who was standing behind Zhuang Xiao. The experts had arrived. A fierce battle was about to take place here, and then things would get interesting.
"Who doesn't know that the Mu Clan's divination abilities are renowned throughout the universe? If even you, Mu Hao, can't divine their whereabouts, then who can?"
This completely elevated Mu Hao to a very high position, praising him excessively. In Zhuang Xiao's words, it was like coaxing a good boy, praising him to the skies, just to see how he would respond.
Mu Hao was indeed a bit flattered by Zhuang Xiao's praise.
"Zhuang Xiao, you're making it difficult for me to refuse." Mu Hao wasn't a fool. He could understand Zhuang Xiao's meaning.
Bei Tao thought to himself, unexpectedly, Starry Sky experts also knew how to flatter people. They hadn't learned anything else, but they had learned this.
Zhuang Xiao said seriously, "Mu Hao, this is a serious matter. Give it a try. We can't let that Wu Sheng obtain the treasure. Otherwise, we'll be left behind. Can you tolerate that?"
If he hadn't mentioned this point, Mu Hao wouldn't have taken the matter seriously.
But after hearing this, his expression gradually became serious. He recalled the situation when facing the Fire Demon. The strength Wu Sheng displayed had already put a considerable distance between them. For Mu Hao, this was intolerable.
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Mu Hao wasn't confident in his divination abilities.
But he was still prepared to give it a try.
Bei Tao stood by and watched, discovering another strange ability, divination... Was it similar to the fortune-telling of ancient times in the Dragon Kingdom?
At this time.
Lin Fan and the others had already arrived deep underground. The entrance was very hidden, even if one searched carefully, they might not be able to find it. Fortunately, Tiger Lord knew the exact location; otherwise, they wouldn't know when they would find it.
"The spiritual energy here is so rich." Wu Sheng exclaimed, "It's indeed a rare dragon vein. In our place, this would be a rare cultivation ground."
Tiger Lord said, "He and I usually cultivate here, but without cultivation methods, we can only simply absorb the spiritual energy for nourishment. The effect is very weak."
Wu Sheng said, "That's natural. To absorb spiritual energy, you must have cultivation methods. Otherwise, it's like drinking a mouthful of nectar, and then it flows out from below, not very useful."
"Put it bluntly." One-Eyed Man said.
Wu Sheng said, "Simple and easy-to-understand language can directly express the specific meaning."
Soon.
They reached the deepest part. The temperature changed from the previous coldness to the current heat.
One-Eyed Man said, "The temperature is a bit high. It seems we've reached a very deep place."
"Be careful, we haven't been here before, we don't know if there's any danger." Tiger Lord said.
They had all shrunk their size. If they were still their previous size, they wouldn't be able to pass through.
After a while.
They reached the end.
"This is..."
When they saw what was placed inside, they all revealed surprised expressions. A golden liquid sphere was floating there, and many threads extended from the sphere, connecting to the surrounding walls, as if absorbing something.
"Such rich energy." Wu Sheng's eyes shone.
Lin Fan said, "Amazing."
Old Zhang said, "It's beautiful."
The Evil Rooster was lost in thought, fantasizing, if I swallowed this thing in one gulp, would I become a Golden Light Battle Rooster? As an evil hero, he couldn't survive without some strength.
Of course.
Now it was just a fantasy.
It wasn't his turn yet.
"Is this the most precious thing in the dragon vein?" One-Eyed Man asked.
Tiger Lord said, "It should be, I haven't seen it before."
Wu Sheng said, "Dividing it into seven shares is enough."
And just at this moment.
A dragon's roar resounded through the world.
The golden sphere seemed to possess sentience.
Light bloomed, illuminating the surroundings with golden light. Then, a golden dragon appeared, floating in mid-air, glaring at Lin Fan and the others.
One-Eyed Man felt the pressure and his expression changed drastically, "Such terrifying pressure, are dragon veins this powerful?"
Under this pressure.
Tiger Lord and Giant Eagle seemed to be suppressed by their bloodline, trembling all over, having the urge to kneel.
"Careful."
Wu Sheng hurriedly shouted. The situation wasn't right. He felt an extremely terrifying danger approaching.
Sure enough.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The golden dragon transformed into golden light and charged directly towards them at high speed. The speed was so fast that their eyes were blinded. They could only see that everything around them was golden light and didn't know how to defend.
In a moment.
They only had one thought: they were doomed.
The once dead dragon vein had revived, becoming a living dragon vein. The dragon vein crystal nurtured by absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, how strong was it? It was hard to imagine. Tiger Lord and the others had underestimated the dragon vein, thinking it was only slightly stronger than them.
But the situation now, where was it slightly stronger?
It was terrifying to the extreme.
Just when they thought everything was over, the golden light covering their eyes dissipated, and everything returned to calm.
Looking closely, they were shocked.
Lin Fan had actually caught the attacking golden dragon with his bare hands.
"He's very strong. It took a lot of effort." Lin Fan said with a calm expression.
It seemed like he was praising the golden dragon, but his actions and demeanor appeared very indifferent, as if it was easy to handle, without any difficulty.
The golden dragon caught in his hand was only as long as his arm.
It struggled.
Its mouth opened, and a ball of golden flames instantly engulfed Lin Fan.
Any object in the world that touched this golden flame would turn to ashes, completely annihilated, but Lin Fan, bathed in the golden flames, didn't change at all.
"Such hot flames."
Lin Fan said.
Wu Sheng stared wide-eyed. He felt the terrifying power from the flames. Such power, let alone him, even those who had reached the Three Radiance Realm would find it difficult to resist.
But Lin Fan could withstand it.
Unbelievable.
What realm was he in? Could it be that he had already reached the realm of a Starry Sky expert?
In this place?
Such a powerful expert could appear, it was too incredible.
It wasn't that Wu Sheng looked down on this planet, but the limit was there. Even if the various mountain ranges awakened, they couldn't reach this level.
The golden dragon didn't continue to spew flames, clearly also a bit stunned.
Then.
For some unknown reason, the golden dragon dissipated and transformed back into a golden sphere.
"Is that all...?"
Lin Fan pointed at the golden sphere with a helpless expression. It wasn't that he was looking down on the golden dragon, but he felt that it was really strong, only strong for a short time, and then it turned back into a golden sphere. It was really strange.
"Wow, you're so amazing!" Little Bao clapped and cheered.
Lin Fan smiled, "It's alright."
