Chapter 1114: A Transaction
A treasure land represents at least several thousand bloodstones.
What's more, a treasure land capable of producing Blood Crystals is considered tremendously vast even among treasures.
Treasure lands in the World of Bloodshed are classified into four tiers, with the fourth being the highest. A treasure land that can give birth to Blood Crystals is at least of the second tier, and modestly has tens of thousands of bloodstones. Finding such a treasure land could yield a substantial number of bloodstones.
Along with the seventy thousand bloodstones Chu Fengmian has now purchased from the Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce, Chu Fengmian can enhance his bloodline and break through to the Heavenly Realm when the time comes.
The news of this treasure land is extremely important to Chu Fengmian.
"The information about this treasure land will not be sold by our Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce."
Ouyang Li suddenly hinted.
"This time, I want to make a trade with Mr. Chu."
"A trade?"
Chu Fengmian frowned.
If he could simply buy this treasure land's information with wealth, it would be the best choice for Chu Fengmian. However, it seems it isn't that simple now.
After all, a treasure land virtually represents endless wealth. The bloodstones within a treasure land are not something that can be exhausted in one go; with just ten or twenty years, new bloodstones will be born there.
That's why a treasure land is nearly priceless. Even if Chu Fengmian is willing to pay a high price to buy it, the Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce may not be willing to sell.
"What trade?"
"Our Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce is willing to tell Mr. Chu the information about this treasure land without any Spirit Stones."
Ouyang Li slowly opened his mouth.
"But there's one condition: Mr. Chu must split half of the bloodstones he acquires from the treasure land with our Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce."
"Is it that simple?"
Chu Fengmian inquired.
The condition is indeed too simple.
Just half? Perhaps even asking other martial artists for ten percent, they would be willing to do it. After all, reaching a treasure land and obtaining several thousand bloodstones is not difficult.
Even if it's half, it's tremendously profitable. Most martial artists venture into the World of Bloodshed, facing certain death, without gaining so many bloodstones.
Just like Lei Yan, who fought desperately for less than a thousand bloodstones.
"Of course, this treasure land is not as peaceful as it seems. It's an unexplored treasure land."
Ouyang Li said with a smile, hearing Chu Fengmian's words.
"Within this treasure land, there is a unique Blood Snake tribe from the World of Bloodshed, which is hard to handle. That's why we intend to invite Mr. Chu to deal with this Blood Snake group."
Blood Snake tribe...
Upon hearing this, Chu Fengmian understood a bit more.
Chu Fengmian knew that due to the unique environment in the World of Bloodshed, some strange demon beasts have emerged. The Blood Snake is one of them, and among the demon beast groups in the World of Bloodshed, the Blood Snake tribe is extremely difficult to deal with.
Because the Blood Snake tribe lives in groups, with thousands or tens of thousands of Blood Snakes in one group. Just like ants can bite an elephant to death, what's more, a Blood Snake's weakest is in the realm of life and death. Many Blood Snake patriarchs have achieved the level of a transcendent elder. There are even rumors of Blood Snakes at the quasi-emperor level in the World of Bloodshed.
Ordinary martial artists entering the World of Bloodshed usually steer clear of the Blood Snake tribe.
No wonder Ouyang Li's offer was so generous; in fact, this treasure land is occupied by the Blood Snake tribe, and to obtain the bloodstones within, one must eliminate the Blood Snake tribe.
"What level is the leader of this Blood Snake tribe?"
Chu Fengmian cautiously inquired.
It's clear the Blood Snake tribe is definitely not weak, otherwise, the Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce would have eradicated the Blood Snake tribe themselves. Then all the wealth of this treasure land would belong to them, why allow Chu Fengmian to seize it?
Evidently, this Blood Snake tribe is extremely troublesome for the Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce, a hot potato, so it falls to Chu Fengmian.
"Quasi-emperor, the leader of the Blood Snake tribe has attained the strength of an initial quasi-emperor."
Ouyang Li answered.
"A leader of a quasi-emperor-level Blood Snake tribe? Does President Ouyang intend for me alone to deal with tens of thousands of Blood Snakes?"
Hearing Ouyang Li's words, Chu Fengmian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Indeed, things aren't as simple as they seem. A quasi-emperor Blood Snake leader, even an initial quasi-emperor, is formidable for Chu Fengmian to contend with, requiring a full effort.
Especially in the World of Bloodshed, where entities like the Blood Snake tribe have inherent advantages, an initial quasi-emperor Blood Snake leader against the great venerable master would still be a fifty-fifty chance at best.
Besides, the leader's tens of thousands of underlings are also a huge problem. Cooperating could lead to Chu Fengmian barging in alone.
Possible bloodstones not yet in hand, Chu Fengmian might already become a meal for the Blood Snake tribe.
"Rest assured, Mr. Chu, we won't let you handle the whole Blood Snake tribe alone. You only need to tackle the leader of the Blood Snake tribe. As for others, recently, our Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce has already recruited many powerful demon gods. We just lack a commander, and Mr. Chu can lead them. You just need to fight the Blood Snake leader. As for other Blood Snakes, others will naturally assist you."
Ouyang Li spoke.
"If Mr. Chu can slay the Blood Snake leader, the terms could also be further negotiated; we'll give you an additional ten percent, making it that our Old Serpent Chamber of Commerce only needs forty percent of the bloodstones you obtain in the treasure land. How does that sound?"
Ouyang Li seemed afraid that Chu Fengmian would refuse and spoke in haste.
"Alright, I agree."
Chu Fengmian thought for a moment and directly agreed.
A Blood Snake leader at the initial quasi-emperor level, it's not impossible for Chu Fengmian to obliterate him.
The primary consideration is Ouyang Li's offer. Sixty percent of the bloodstones is an unbelievably massive fortune.
Moreover, the area occupied by the Blood Snake tribe usually contains Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. In this treasure land, it's evident other secrets are hidden, hence attracting the Blood Snake tribe.
All Heavenly and Earthly Treasures condensed in the World of Bloodshed are similar to these bloodstones, sufficient to enhance bloodlines, of significant use to Chu Fengmian, who must obtain them at all costs.
"Good, Mr. Chu is straightforward. Here is the information regarding the treasure land."
Ouyang Li laughed as he saw Chu Fengmian agreed, simultaneously flicking a finger, from which a Jade Talisman flew over.
Chu Fengmian received the Jade Talisman and injected a dose of Spiritual Power into it. Soon, the information about the treasure land flooded into Chu Fengmian's mind.
