Chapter 392: The Witch Tribe’s Exorbitant Price
If the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not made it clear, it would have been fine and he could have gotten away with it. But now that it has been made clear, he naturally has to handle it impartially. Otherwise, if he leaves an unfair and unjust attitude to all living beings, it will be detrimental to his future in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. After all, if his spiritual intelligence is completely destroyed by the Heavenly Dao because of such a small matter, wouldn't that be a huge loss!
"I am biased. What kind of compensation do you want?"
Before the Lich-Wizard War broke out, Bai Zhen's clone had discussed the issue of compensation with the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Through Bai Zhen's clone, the Twelve Ancestral Witches also knew what good stuff Hongjun had in his hands!
The most valuable things in Hongjun's hands are naturally innate spiritual treasures. Although Bai Zhen couldn't say for sure how many Hongjun had collected, through the legends in the original trajectory, it is not difficult to see that innate spiritual treasures are the least valuable in Hongjun's hands as they can fill up an entire treasure-dividing rock!
It’s just that the Wu Clan has no primordial spirit. Even if they get the innate spiritual treasure from Hongjun, they can only throw it into the treasury to gather dust. Therefore, the innate spiritual treasure is not actually in the Wu Clan’s plan!
As for spiritual roots, the only ones known at present are naturally the ten best innate spiritual roots - the innate Renshui Peach Tree. This spiritual root was given to Yao Chi by Hongjun after the death of the wizard and the lich, in order to suppress the destiny of Heaven and recruit casual cultivators to join Heaven!
Bai Zhen's clone and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were unsure whether Hongjun was willing to take it out. Besides, the Renshui Peaches were very useful to the Yuanshen cultivators, but not so useful to the Witch Clan!
After much deliberation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Bai Zhen's clone decided before the war broke out that Hongjun would come out to stop it and make the demon clan pay for it - the demon clan's luck!
Although luck is invisible and intangible, it is the most cost-effective thing for all living beings in the world except for merit!
If Hou Tu did not have her primordial spirit, perhaps exchanging it for an innate spiritual treasure to weaken the power of the demon clan would be the best option. After all, without an innate spiritual treasure, beheading the three corpses would become a luxury!
But now Hou Tu has the primordial spirit and has initially refined the Pangu Temple, a treasure that can suppress the luck of the witch clan. Without sufficient reasons, even the Heavenly Dao cannot seize the luck from the suppression of the Pangu Temple.
It is precisely because the luck of the witch clan is firmly suppressed that seizing the luck from the demon clan is the best choice. After all, the luck of the witch clan has improved, the difficulty of their practice has been reduced, and the speed of practice has been increased. When going out treasure hunting, it is also easier to find treasures suitable for the witch clan. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
Although Hou Tu had made preparations long ago, she still needed some time to think, otherwise it would be obvious that she was plotting against the demon race! After the twelve witch ancestors pondered for a while, they began to discuss one by one.
"In my opinion, we should ask that three-legged crow for more innate spiritual treasures. I don't believe that the demon race can develop without innate spiritual treasures!" Zhu Jiuyin was the first to speak.
"In my opinion, it is better to ask them for spiritual roots than spiritual treasures. Spiritual treasures are just firewood sticks to us, they are of no use!"
"Gonggong, you idiot, we can have both. We can take away the spiritual treasures of the demon clan and make them lack resources!" Zhu Rong said with a smirk.
"Indeed, it is possible, but the resources of the demon race are of little use to our cultivation, and it will not do us any good to just leave them there!"
"Hmph, even if these things are just left there to gather dust, they can still be used to enhance one's own strength!" Xuan Ming said indifferently.
……
After some discussion, the twelve witch ancestors finally reached a common goal. Then Hou Tu spoke as a representative: "We want 30% of the luck of the demon clan! At the same time, they must prepare enough blood food for our witch clan to last for 300 Yuanhui! The more spiritual treasures and spiritual roots, the better. We don't mind using spiritual treasures as decorations and the spiritual fruits produced by spiritual roots as snacks!"
Hou Tu knew clearly that Di Jun would never agree to her request, but it was still necessary to ask for a high price. Besides, Hou Tu did not say that bargaining was not allowed!
Listening to Hou Tu's words, Di Jun was immediately furious. Luck, blood food, spiritual treasures, spiritual roots, these requests all hit Di Jun's heart hard!
To be honest, Di Jun, as the Emperor of Heaven, possesses the most luck among the demon clan. However, even so, Di Jun only accounts for 30% of the demon clan's overall luck. Now Hou Tu directly takes 30% of the luck. How can Di Jun accept this?
Finding enough blood food for the Wu Clan to last for three hundred Yuanhuis is not a big deal for Di Jun, the demon clan emperor. However, if this is done in private, it would mean that he, the demon emperor, is helping outsiders to suppress his own clan. If not handled properly, the newly established demon clan might fall apart!
As for spiritual roots and spiritual treasures, they are also extremely important materials for the Heavenly Court. The most important spiritual root of the demon clan is naturally the Fusang tree. You should know that the lair of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi is on this Fusang tree!
The fire mulberries produced by the Fusang tree have no effect on Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi and can only be used as snacks, but this spiritual root can accelerate the cultivation speed of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.
Although the auxiliary function of the Fusang Tree has been weakened a lot after Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi have reached the level of quasi-saints, the Fusang Tree is still quite useful to Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi overall!
Besides, during the long period of time from the birth of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's will to their departure from the Sun Star, they all lived on the Fusang tree. In a sense, the Fusang tree was half the mother of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi!
In addition, the Fusang tree is of great benefit to the nurturing of the future little Golden Crow and the process of mastering the true fire of the sun after breaking out of the shell!
As for the innate spiritual treasures, they are even more of a strategic resource in the Heavenly Court. Without innate spiritual treasures, one cannot behead corpses. Not being able to behead corpses means that one's strength will be stuck at the peak of the Golden Immortal and cannot improve!
The peak of Daluo Golden Immortal and the early stage of Quasi-Saint are two different realms. Perhaps a Daluo Golden Immortal who has been at the peak for a long time can be compared with a Quasi-Saint who has just succeeded in beheading a corpse. However, once the creatures are familiar with the power of the Quasi-Saint realm, beating those creatures who have been at the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal for a long time is tantamount to beating their grandsons. Even hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals who have been at the peak cannot compare to a Quasi-Saint who has just succeeded in beheading a corpse!
Di Jun knew clearly that this war between wizards and liches was started by the demon clan themselves. Now that they were defeated, they would naturally have to pay a corresponding price for their defeat. However, even if Di Jun agreed to the demands put forward by Hou Tu, the demon clan would never agree to them. So Di Jun began to bargain with Hou Tu!
