117: Chapter 117: Delivering Resources and Spatial Treasures.

The helicopter landed smoothly, and those few Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists jumped down, bowing slightly to Bai Xuan in greeting:

"We greet you, Eagle King."

In the Dragon Kingdom, Bai Xuan was known as the Lord of the Far East and the Eagle King; it was only reasonable for them to address him as such, and they would not intentionally use titles to smear Bai Xuan—it was what it was.

The same went for other ferocious beasts, who were addressed according to their rank, strength, status, and actions.

General Wang Zhuo jumped down from the top of the Earth Nether Flood Dragon, and like those Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists, he bowed slightly in respect:

"Eagle King, it is a pleasure to see you again."

"Indeed, we meet again." Bai Xuan exchanged pleasantries before getting straight to the point:

"Speak, what have you come to find me for this time?"

The Earth Nether Flood Dragon and the Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists did not speak, leaving it to General Wang Zhuo, who acted as the chief diplomatic envoy, to explain.

"We have come today specifically to thank you, Eagle King. At the same time, I would like to apologize for this abrupt visit; I ask for your understanding, Eagle King."

After speaking, he had those Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists take the gratitude resources off the helicopter and carry them before Bai Xuan. They opened the safe, revealing dazzling Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, densely packed—at least a thousand, perhaps up to two thousand or more.

This was no small sum. Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were far more precious than Low-Grade Spirit Stones; calculated at 1,000 evolution points per stone, that was two million evolution points.

Next, General Wang Zhuo took two top-grade spirit stones from his backpack: "And these two top-grade spirit stones."

General Wang Zhuo placed the spirit stones into the safe.

Two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and two top-grade spirit stones—they were definitely not losing out. After all, Bai Xuan had indirectly helped them solve a major problem, saving them a great deal of manpower, material resources, time, and effort; it was entirely worth it.

"I only wanted to eat that Zerg monster; I wasn't specifically trying to help you." Bai Xuan's tone was indifferent.

"That is true, but you did indirectly help us. We came prepared to thank you this time, so please accept our token of appreciation."

General Wang Zhuo nodded slightly to show his understanding. That was likely the case, but in the end, it was Bai Xuan who had helped them overcome the crisis, so coming to thank him was only right.

It could also help ease the relationship between the two parties.

"Since that is the case, I will accept it." Bai Xuan put the spirit stones into his spatial bracelet, deliberately taking it out to show off.

He was also intentionally drawing their attention. If they could buy it at a high price, everyone would be happy, and neither side would lose out. Bai Xuan had several more of these bracelets, and they only required spending some evolution points to unlock, yielding a return of at least ten times, or even dozens of times, the cost.

Upon seeing Bai Xuan's spatial bracelet, General Wang Zhuo, the Earth Nether Flood Dragon, and those Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists stared wide-eyed.

"Eagle King, what... is this?"

General Wang Zhuo couldn't help but ask. Could this be the legendary spatial treasure? That was awesome.

It wasn't just Tier 5 Zerg monsters that had these things; some other Tier 4 Zerg monsters had them too, though their storage space was of a lower grade.

Ranging from as small as ten cubic meters to as large as over a thousand cubic meters.

Such treasures were rare and difficult to come by.

Currently, only the Zerg had these things, and mastering spatial abilities was even more difficult. But if one had a ready-made item, it was a transition from 0 to 1—if they could replicate it. Without it, it remained at 0. One should not underestimate this mere "one"; it was equivalent to the difference between heaven and earth, like an impassable chasm.

The Earth Nether Flood Dragon's eyes revealed its impatience; it was desperate to know the answer.

Meanwhile, Huzi and Xiao Hei were smug, as Bai Xuan had already given each of them one.

"You country bumpkin, this is called a spatial bracelet, and it can store items." Huzi said as it took out its spatial bracelet to show off, then proceeded to absorb several stones into it.

Xiao Hei dug into its feathers with its claw and took out a spatial ring, showing it off in the same way:

"The space inside is quite large; it's more than enough to fit a small mountain."

Upon hearing what Xiao Hei and Huzi said, and witnessing the miraculous power of the spatial treasure, General Wang Zhuo trembled with excitement: "Can it really fit a small mountain?"

"Believe it or not, suit yourself." Huzi put away its spatial bracelet, looking completely insufferable.

General Wang Zhuo looked at Bai Xuan, realized he had lost his composure, and quickly calmed himself: "Eagle King, if I may ask, do you have any extra spatial treasures you could sell to us? Name your price; as long as it is within our means, we will certainly agree."

The Earth Nether Flood Dragon quickly nodded in agreement:

"Yes, please, you must sell one to us."

The other Tier 4, Level 9 martial artists not only didn't object, but became expectant. If they could replicate this in the future, the Dragon Kingdom would surely reach a higher level. Once Blue Star stabilized, they could even sell these spatial treasures and make a fortune.

By then, the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't need currency; they would trade with spirit stones.

They had started daydreaming before they had even bought one.

"Do you truly want one?" Bai Xuan said nonchalantly.

"We sincerely want one." General Wang Zhuo clenched his fists, hiding the surprise and intense desire in his heart, striving to secure this treasure at a reasonable price.

"Seeing as you are sincere, I can sell it to you. A fixed price: for one spatial treasure, three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and one thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Bai Xuan smiled calmly and named his price.

To General Wang Zhuo and the others, this was simply an exorbitant demand.

Three thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and that was just for one. Buying one wouldn't allow them to research anything; if it broke, it was gone. They needed at least three. Judging by Bai Xuan's demeanor, he likely had quite a few in stock.

"Eagle King, isn't this price a bit high?" General Wang Zhuo's mouth twitched, and he offered an awkward but polite smile.

"If it's too high, then don't buy it. I'm not forcing you." Bai Xuan replied nonchalantly, looking as if he were saying, "If you don't want it, plenty of others do."

"Can you lower it a bit?" General Wang Zhuo tried to bargain.

"No, I already said it's a fixed price. Furthermore, your Dragon Kingdom should have obtained plenty of spirit stones from the third Aura Tide, right?"

After entering the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, Bai Xuan had discovered that the mountain ranges of the Dragon Kingdom produced many spirit stones. Just like the last time the aura recovered, the aura within the Dragon Kingdom was much denser than in the Far East Region.

Most importantly, the Zerg there were not yet very strong. A Tier 5, Level 8 monster had appeared in the Far East Region, while in the Dragon Kingdom, it was Tier 5, Level 7. A difference of one level was a chasm of difference [Bai Xuan was an exception.]
