Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1767 - 1765: The Western Region Arrives
Inside the Council Hall, Luan Xiao'e spoke up: "Some lower-quality Spirit Talismans can be bought with spirit jade, but for better ones, we'll likely need to barter. We have no issue with spirit jade, and as for materials… the only worthwhile trade would be supreme-grade elixir pills. Trading for a batch of high-quality Spirit Talismans should not be a problem."
Currently, what Three Worlds Island can craft in terms of supreme-grade elixir pills isn't limited to just the supreme-grade psyche refinement pill and supreme-grade treasure body pill. With the Flower Race joining, the variety of elixir pills has increased significantly.
This undoubtedly makes enticing bargaining chips, and quite fascinating ones at that.
The meeting's agenda was to discuss how much resource Three Worlds Island should allocate to exchange with the Dwarf Race for Spirit Talismans. This truly requires careful planning, as despite the island's current prosperity, it cannot spend recklessly.
Of course, these are collective assets of Three Worlds Island. If any Three Worlds cultivators want to trade privately using their own resources, it's up to their luck and confidence.
The meeting did not last long, reaching a decision within two hours. Tang Jun will take charge, and Luan Xiao'e will assist. They hope to discuss face-to-face with Moon Jade from the Dwarf Race, as large-scale exchange might come with discounts.
Lu Ye didn't speak up as he could not determine which tribe of the Dwarf Race was coming. If it's the Eastern tribe, things would be manageable; his involvement might secure substantial discounts. However, if it's the Southern or Western tribe, that would be impossible.
His interactions with these two tribes have been limited to the strategic maneuvers within Black Abyss...
The All Phenomena Ocean has become lively; the news of Mount Fangcun's impending passage spreads quickly. As Tang Jun mentioned, it's not just Three Worlds Island preparing; various Spirit Islands are gearing up, with many independent cultivators anticipating this grand event.
Located centrally in All Phenomena Ocean, Dapan Island is one of the few well-known barren islands that cultivators recognize.
It is the largest barren island across All Phenomena Ocean, significantly larger than All Phenomena Island itself.
Generally, barren islands lacking stellar space energy don't attract cultivators' attention, nor are their names known. However, Dapan Island's uniqueness has made its name widely recognized.
This vast barren island naturally serves as a base for several small factions, and there isn't just one of them.
These factions are small groups without the capital to occupy Spirit Islands, using the island as a gathering spot and maintaining peace among themselves.
Recently, however, these groups have been driven away from Dapan Island, replaced by cultivators from All Phenomena Galaxy, who are building some basic facilities on the island.
Initially, no one knew what this was for, but soon news spread: Dapan Island has been selected as the venue for the Spirit Talisman conference held by Mount Fangcun.
No one was surprised at the news.
Firstly, the Spirit Talisman conference promises to be very lively; a small place wouldn't suffice. Across All Phenomena Ocean, only a few Spirit Islands are suitable for such a venue.
All Phenomena Island meets the criteria, but if holding the Spirit Talisman conference affects its business, All Phenomena Merchants Guild wouldn't be pleased.
Thus, only Dapan Island would suffice.
Mount Fangcun's arrival means coordination with the local Star System. Naturally, the All Phenomena Galaxy will be responsible for preparing this Spirit Talisman conference.
In the pill-making room, Shui Yuan and Hua Qianying are tirelessly busy. For this Spirit Talisman conference, they must quickly produce a batch of supreme-grade psyche refinement pills. Thankfully, with the pill gourd's help, crafting elixir pills isn't difficult.
However, Three Worlds Apothecary needs elixir pills to maintain operations, and with thousands of cultivators practicing, they too require elixir pills, so the pill-making room can't rest for a moment.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Shui Yuan glanced sideways: "What are you doing here still?"
Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face resting against his hand, watching them with a distracted gaze. Hearing Shui Yuan's question, he snapped back to reality: "Just seeing if you need any help."
Shui Yuan chuckled: "How can you help? As long as you don't cause trouble, it's good enough. Out, out. If you've nothing to do, go wake up Hua Ci sooner, then I'll have less pressure."
Being mercilessly chased out of the pill-making room by Shui Yuan, Lu Ye headed aimlessly to Tang Jun's residence.
Upon seeing him, Old Tang felt a headache coming, grimacing: "Didn't I tell you that you'd be notified if there's news?"
"Is there news then?" Lu Ye asked.
Old Tang replied expressionlessly: "I haven't notified you, do you think there's news?"
"Your info channels are quite lacking," Lu Ye remarked disdainfully.
Tang Jun was puzzled: "I don't understand, why does it matter which tribe of Mount Fangcun comes? Whether East, South, West, or North, they're all Dwarf Race. As long as we can exchange for Spirit Talismans from them, it's fine."
There is a difference—a significant one!
If the Eastern tribe arrives, he will have a natural advantage. After all, he holds the title of a Dao companion with Hai Tang, making him half a Dwarf Race. Negotiating with the Eastern tribe would mean many discounts on top of existing ones…
But with the South or West tribes, he wouldn't have this convenience.
Yet, with no outcome yet, Lu Ye couldn't explain much.
While speaking, Old Tang suddenly took out an audio talisman and inspected it, then hurriedly went outside: "Something's up, suit yourself!"
Since becoming the foreign affairs elder for Three Worlds Island, Tang Jun has been so busy that his feet have barely touched the ground. Today someone invites him for a meetup, tomorrow someone invites him for a concert, living his days in carefree leisure.
"Quickly find out which Mount Fangcun it is!" Lu Ye instructed.
Without the result, he couldn't focus on anything, and recently, he couldn't even calm down to comprehend the elders' legacy of the Talent Tree.
A small figure suddenly darted out from the side and jumped into his arms, affectionately calling out, "Papa!"
Lu Ye casually picked up Yaya and tapped her little nose. "Where did you run wild from again?"
Yaya pouted. "I just woke up!" She grabbed Lu Ye's clothing and quickly climbed onto his shoulder, pointing towards the direction of the trade district with her chubby finger. "Let's go play!"
"Let's go!" Lu Ye responded, carrying Yaya and darted away.
Yaya was the best, pure and carefree, only worried about playing, without a care in the world.
But speaking of which, Lu Ye had been uninterested in other matters recently, giving him time to spend with Yaya, and their "father-daughter" bond had deepened significantly.
Old Tang, after a few more days, being the well-informed person he was, finally managed to uncover accurate information.
The approaching Mount Fangcun was from the Western Region! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Upon hearing this news, Lu Ye's emotions were a mix of disappointment and relief, indescribable...
Now that Mount Fangcun had already entered the All Phenomena Star System, it would reach the All Phenomena Ocean area in ten days, and so the Spirit Talisman Conference would officially begin in ten days as well.
Countless cultivators eagerly awaited.
Some even headed towards the direction from which Mount Fangcun was coming, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary Mount Fangcun. After all, according to rumors, Mount Fangcun was a stellar space supreme treasure, mysteriously splitting into three parts - the Eastern, Southern, and Western Regions. The legend tied its past changes to the Blood Race, leading the Dwarf Race to consider them a mortal enemy!
Ten days passed by swiftly, and on Dapan Island, shadows of people crowded around, the scene even livelier than the opening day of Three Worlds Island, gathering tens of thousands of cultivators.
Despite the crowd, they congregated outside the island, with none stepping onto it.
This was because the stars of the Spirit Talisman Conference had not arrived yet; not a single Dwarf Race member was on the island, and cultivators entering now had no purpose.
Everyone was in waiting.
A small mountain slowly emerged at the far end of the horizon. From afar, this little mountain looked like a small-scale floating land, not uncommon in stellar space. Even if a cultivator accidentally encountered it, they probably wouldn't imagine that this was the renowned Mount Fangcun!
The mountain's speed was not fast, equivalent to a Constellation Late Stage riding a starboat. It floated in from the sky above the All Phenomena Ocean, as if entering an uninhabited area.
The Void trembled, ripples spreading as a majestic pressure descended from the heavens.
In the vision of many cultivators, five figures suddenly appeared!
The world became silent!
Everyone gazed at these five figures with eyes full of reverence.
Because these five were the current five Sun Blaze governors of the All Phenomena Ocean.
Yuan Du of the Yiyuan World, Guk Xi of the Celestial Flames World, Muh Qing of the Kunyu World, Mo Wenli of the Illusion God World, and Chen Xuanba of the Gaotian Continent!
On ordinary days, these five Sun Blazes were quite reclusive. Even for the Moon Jade, it was hard to meet them. Take Old Tang for example, who initially sought Yuan Du but never saw him; later, he tried to see Muh Qing, but still couldn't meet.
But at this moment, all five were present.
Because the Dwarf Race of Mount Fangcun had the privilege to have them assist in receiving, not to mention that Mount Fangcun itself was a stellar space supreme treasure. Even if broken, it was still a shard of a supreme treasure, whose powers remained unknown.
Almost simultaneously with these five Sun Blaze governors appearing, the fast-approaching Mount Fangcun began to gradually slow down, and soon came to a stop.
Lu Ye, having stayed at the Eastern Region's Mount Fangcun for a while, naturally knew that Mount Fangcun's operation could be manually altered, but the time it could be maintained wasn't long, at most a month.
Therefore, even if the Dwarf Race employed methods to halt Mount Fangcun above the All Phenomena Ocean, it would have to leave after at most a month.
Outside Mount Fangcun, ripples cascaded, and several figures appeared one after another.
In terms of aura alone, these figures were no less than the five Sun Blaze governors of the All Phenomena Ocean, evidently the Sun Blazes of the Dwarf Race.
Around Dapan Island, numerous cultivators observed, some showing puzzled expressions, one asking, "Master, why do the Dwarf Race appear no different from us human race? Shouldn't they be small?"
The master explained, "Small and large are relative. Look at Mount Fangcun, does it appear small? Yet for the Dwarf Race, this is their world. So indeed they are small, but beyond Mount Fangcun, they can maintain a size equivalent to normal human race."
The disciple immediately showed an understanding expression.
