Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. He clearly didn't expect the old Spirit Eater to be so unyielding. It seemed that the conditions just now were really beyond his bottom line.
"Alright, speak, I'll listen!" Lin Yi pondered for a moment and gave the old Spirit Eater a chance to speak. However, he was still condensing the super Pill Fire Bomb in his hand. The more time passed, the more powerful the super Pill Fire Bomb would become. For Lin Yi, this wasn't a bad thing.
The old Spirit Devourer Beast heaved a clear sigh of relief, and he slowly said, "Let's not talk about how many spirit jades we'll have to mine in half a year. Do you think we'll have a chance to hunt down those two hundred people with our current numbers? Isn't it more likely that we'll be hunted down instead? Without the nourishment of Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, the marrow of the spirit vein won't increase. Coupled with your mining and the consumption of our clansmen, although the spirit jade can be regenerated through the marrow of the spirit vein, the marrow of the spirit vein will slowly dry up. "
This was a reasonable statement and Lin Yi couldn't refute it. If the limit of two hundred people came from the ten young ones, it would be a family of twenty people. They might split up after coming in, but from Lin Yi's experience, they would quickly gather together. As long as the ten young ones didn't fight among themselves, it wouldn't be easy for the remaining two Spirit Eater Beasts to ambush them.
It was useless for the Spirit Eater Beasts to kill the Foundation Establishment disciples. Once the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators gathered, it was just as the old Spirit Eater Beast had said, it was uncertain who would be the one to kill who!
In this way, the reserves of the spirit jade immortal vein would very likely be slowly depleted. Even if there was the marrow of the spirit vein, it wouldn't be able to withstand such unbridled mining.
"Human, we Spirit Eater Beasts don't just hunt the Golden Core and Nascent Souls of the human race. Even after our clansmen die, the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls left behind will also be used to nourish the marrow of the spirit vein. After all, the marrow of the spirit vein is the foundation of our clan. As long as the marrow of the spirit vein exists, we Spirit Eater Beasts can continue to thrive and survive here," the old Spirit Eater Beast said sincerely. Lin Yi was a little moved after hearing this.
"You said that your Golden Cores and Nascent Souls are also used to nourish the marrow of the Spirit Veins?" This news came as quite a shock to Lin Yi. Generally speaking, as long as the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of a Spirit Beast were undamaged, they would be protected by their brethren even if they couldn't reform their physical bodies. In the future, it was very likely that they would be used as trump cards to save their brethren. However, the Spirit Eater Beast Clan had used their Golden Core and Nascent Soul to nourish the marrow of their spirit veins. They were vicious to others and vicious to themselves!
However, this made Lin Yi have some vague ideas. He needed to sort them out for the time being, so he didn't continue.
"Of course, as I've said just now, the marrow of the spirit vein is the foundation of the Soul Eater Beast clan. It is a very honorable thing to contribute one's Golden Core or Nascent Soul for the survival of our clansmen. Our clansmen view it as a sacred ritual, just like how our own life will continue to be reborn in the blood of our descendants after merging with the marrow of the spirit vein." At this point, the old Spirit Eater Beast's expressionless face revealed a rare hint of holiness. It seemed that this so-called ritual was indeed very important to the Spirit Eater Beast clan.
Lin Yi nodded. He could understand the old Spirit Eater Beast's words. As for whether he agreed or not, it didn't matter. What was important was that he had already sorted out his thoughts.
"You mean that the Golden Core and Nascent Soul used to nourish the marrow of the spirit vein are the same for Spirit Beasts and humans? Even if we don't use the marrow of the human race, we can just use the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of Spirit Beasts? "Lin Yi had to figure this out. This was the most important point.
Since the Azure Cloud Sect was going to become the leader of the four great sects, it was very necessary to protect the production of spirit jade in the spirit jade immortal vein. There was no better way to protect the marrow of the spirit vein than the Spirit Eater Beast clan. Now that he knew that the Spirit Eater Beast clan wasn't as described in the ancient records, Lin Yi didn't mind finding a path that both sides could accept and achieve a win-win goal.
"You're right. In reality, the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of Spirit Beasts are both inner cores, and the inner cores of Spirit Beasts are more suitable for nourishment than the Golden Core and Nascent Soul of humans at the same level." The old Spirit Eater Beast answered Lin Yi's question straightforwardly.
"Then why don't you let the human race use the inner cores of Spirit Beasts to exchange for the spots to mine spirit jade? I believe the human race would be willing to accept such an exchange. " After Lin Yi finished speaking, he realized that his words were a little inappropriate. If that was possible, why wouldn't the Spirit Eater Beast clan do it?
Sure enough, the old Spirit Eater Beast shook his head. "Spirit Beasts are rare to begin with, how many spots can we exchange for with the inner cores of Spirit Beasts? Furthermore, if we do that, we'll expose the truth about the existence of our Spirit Eater Beast clan. When that time comes, the human race will most likely hunt us down at all costs and seize the opportunity to take over the entire spirit jade immortal vein. Even the marrow of the spirit vein will be secretly taken by the selfish human race! "
Lin Yi was left speechless by the old Spirit Eater Beast's evaluation of the human race. This was the deep-rooted bad habit of many humans, so there was really nothing more to say. How many people in the entire Primordial Era were like Lin Yi who didn't even covet the marrow of the spirit vein?
"You have the formation, so you shouldn't have to expose yourselves!" Lin Yi couldn't comment on the human race's temperament, so he could only change the subject.
"That's indeed the case, but without any prior communication, how did you know that we could use the inner cores of Spirit Beasts to exchange for the spots? As long as there was communication, the existence of our Spirit Eater Beast clan would inevitably be exposed. However, now that you've appeared, you can act as a bridge between our Spirit Eater Beast clan and the human race. The question is, how many inner cores of Spirit Beasts can you find? Also, high-grade Spirit Beasts are extremely rare to begin with, so how many years can you last? "The old Spirit Eater Beast's thought process was very clear and logical.
Lin Yi nodded. He had already thought about this question and had already formulated a plan. "Seeing as the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of the human race and the inner cores of Spirit Beasts can all be used to nourish the marrow of the spirit vein, then the inner cores of sea beasts should also be usable, right?"
