Rather than risking offending the "Netherworld King" by attacking them, it was better to try these two methods.
As for what the future would be like, frankly speaking, Mu Zi and Grai had never thought about it. They could only take things one step at a time and help the humans in terms of resources.
On the other hand, Aiolos's situation was not as good. The drama of brothers killing each other caused the Holy Arena to receive unprecedented attention. This made the Crystal person abnormally satisfied. He was excited by his own thoughts. These boring and vulgar aristocrats loved this kind of thing the most.
For this reason, the Crystal person had specially packaged a story about the friendship between a Titan from a high-leveled civilization and an Earthling from a low-leveled civilization. How they had met in the Heavenly River Sandpit, how they had become friends through a fight, how they had stood up for their brothers, and how they had been reduced to gladiators together. They had helped each other in the Arena and even imparted techniques to each other, breaking through the limits of civilization.
Furthermore, they were going to fight to the death. This was a script that countless aristocrats liked. Furthermore, this had never happened before. At the same time, even though the matter regarding the Seductress could not be made public, everyone who should know knew about it. This made the entire event even more anticipated.
The Crystal person muttered to his Seductress secretary on the bed, "I'm a genius. Tell me, I'm a genius."
"You're a genius!"
"Who is?"
"You are, you are, you are!"
The Crystal person panted heavily. His movements moved rhythmically with her shouts. He climbed one spiritual mountain after another. Then, he saw the scenery at the peak. However, what he said was the coldest thought in the bottom of his heart. "Yes, I am. However, this is not enough. I want to cut off all their thoughts. Don't even think about doing anything under my watch!"
A few seconds later, the Crystal person recovered from the aftershock of falling. It was as if his spirit had been reactivated. Thoughts grew in his heart one after another, and every thought caused a crystalline smile to blossom on his face.
Thus, he mercilessly broke free from the Seductress's warm embrace. He changed his clothes and led his bodyguards towards the prison.
He had already heard that Tsarilorhuan and Aiolos were not filled with conflict or, most importantly, killing intent because of the upcoming battle between their brothers. Regardless of whether they were pretending to be benevolent and hiding each other or whether their brotherly love was so deep that they did not care about life and death, the atmosphere in front of him was not to his liking. Similarly, it was not in line with the expectations that the audience had for this great show.
The human heart was complicated. Even brothers of the same race could have disloyalty, not to mention that they were from different races.
They wanted to face their fate calmly, but he would not let them do as they wished. No matter what, he would always be the only winner.
"Master." The candle demon that was in charge of looking after Aiolos and Tsarilorhuan knelt on the ground. He revealed a fanatical attitude but did not dare to raise his head to look at his master.
"Get up." The Crystal person looked at the candle demon in satisfaction. He could sense the loyalty from the candle demon. This was the absolute loyalty guaranteed by the Machinery race. He asked it, "How are they doing?"
"Just as you ordered. After giving them complete treatment, they have been separated."
The Crystal person nodded in satisfaction again. He said, "Let's take a look at that human first."
"Yes, Master."
The candle demon led the way in front. Very quickly, they arrived at a room that was specially sealed. The candle demon spent some time to open the restriction on the room.
Aiolos exited the meditation world and raised his head to look at the opened door. There was a mocking smile on the Crystal person's disgusting face.
"Hurry up and spit it out."
Aiolos took the initiative to speak. He did not intend to let the Crystal person take the initiative in this conversation right from the start. In reality, he did not think that they had anything to talk about.
The Crystal person furrowed his eyebrows. Aiolos's unyielding attitude caused a flame to rise in his heart. He hated slaves who did not have the awareness of being a slave the most. However, he quickly let it go and put on his usual smile. "Aiolos, I'm here to help you."
Aiolos simply looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. Most of the time, Lao Ai did not hide his disdain for the Crystal people.
"You might not believe me, but you are indeed my best gladiator now. I will never forget your contributions to the Sacred Arena. Therefore, I hope that you will be the one who survives. Look at you now, think about you humans, think about your civilization, and think about how you can survive. I know where your techniques came from, so I have a reason and a responsibility to remind you that Titans will always leave a trump card for themselves. I hope that you can live, and your people also need you to live. Don't forget about Undine, she also wants you to live. If you want to win, you have to do whatever it takes. Don't be delusional about brotherhood and being merciful. There are no tears in the Arena."
The Crystal person smiled and looked at Aiolos. He saw that Aiolos's calm eyes were filled with fury. He did not care who this fury was directed at. He was here to add fuel to the fire. "I know that the two of you have agreed not to hold back and fight without holding back. However, this is not enough. Do you know what Undine is going through because of you? If you die, you won't know anything. "
Aiolos suddenly relaxed his tightly clenched fist. Then, he lazily lay down and did not bother with the Crystal person. No matter what, he would not satisfy the other party's bad taste.
The Crystal person hummed a song and walked away. What a young and naive human. Although he pretended that nothing had happened, that was actually a sign that he was suffering.
He took light and quick steps and arrived at the room where Tsarilorhuan was being restrained.
He smiled and took out a letter. Compared to humans, Tsarilorhuan was not easy to deal with. However, he had made preparations long ago. Furthermore, fate was always on his side. He pretended to be polite and knocked on the door.
"Get lost!"
As expected, Tsarilorhuan's roar sounded from behind the door. The Crystal person removed the restriction and pushed the door open. "Are you not going to take the letter that your beloved sister gave you?"
Tsarilorhuan looked at the letter in the Crystal person's hand. Lightning flowed through his silver hair. His gaze landed on the woman outside the door. That was a substitute puppet. Even if he attacked with all his might, only the puppet would die. Obviously, the cunning Crystal person would not place herself in danger.
The Crystal person waved the letter in his hand again. Tsari could only try his best to ignore the increasingly deep smile lines on his face. "Give it to me."
"Tsari, this is not like you. In this life and death battle, you wouldn't hold back against humans, right? You should know that he is already a dead person. "The Crystal person cunningly played with his tongue.
"You have said the same thing to Aiolos, right?"
"You are all my best gladiators now. Furthermore, I am sure that he wants to live even more than you. Thus, I am more worried about you. Don't forget who you are, a silver electric Titan. No matter how you wander, you are still restricted by the nobility of the silver electric Titans. Think about it. If you are the one who dies, what will your race do? Will Aiolos still be able to live? Also, don't forget your sister. " The Crystal person's words were as cold as winter. Every word was like hailstones smashing into one's face.
The Crystal person left with his satisfaction. Tsarilorhuan held his sister's letter. He hesitated for a while before slowly opening the envelope.
His sister's handwriting was inside. Furthermore, there were some special characters hidden in the letter. These were the secret signals that they had agreed on to prove that this letter was written by her and that she had written it voluntarily.
Tsarilorhuan looked at every word in the letter like a sponge absorbing water. "… I am living very well now. Brother, don't worry about me. That's right, the Dao Wood tree that we planted together has blossomed, but it has not borne fruit. They say that being able to plant seeds from their hometown in the divine territory is already the limit, but I don't believe it …"
Through the graceful handwriting, Tsari's gaze seemed to pass through the letter and time. He and his sister had planted the Dao Wood tree together and hoped that it would blossom and bear delicious Dao Wood fruits …
"… If only Brother could come back …"
The entire letter was filled with longing for him.
However, Tsarilorhuan was very clear about his sister's character. She was a little thing that only reported good news and not grievances. She was someone that people doted on.
They had lost their parents when they were young, and the two siblings had grown up relying on each other. Even though their parents had sacrificed themselves for their race and made great contributions, the siblings were not welcomed in their race.
Even though they had never embezzled cultivation resources, there were times when one did not fight for worldly possessions when they were alive. Instead, they only fought for their breath.
Tsarilorhuan became more and more rebellious. In the end, he had caused a huge disaster. However, he had never told anyone that he had always suspected that the aristocrat he had accidentally killed had planned this … As a result, his former pride had turned into a blank.
Now, to Tsarilorhuan, all of this was secondary. The only person he wanted to protect was his sister. Tsarilorhuan looked at the letter. If he died, what would happen to his sister?
On one side was his biological sister, while on the other was his brother and friend that he had entrusted his life to. Tsarilorhuan's grip on the letter tightened.
This was a stalemate and a dead end. What should he do?
In the Heavenly Treasures Street, Uncle Sea could not eat or sleep in peace during this period of time. The contract he had signed with the Netherworld Faction made him break out in a cold sweat at all times. Even though Wang Zhong had said that he had been very successful in refining the Vitality Supplement Pill and felt that he was confident, he was still a pill refinery novice. No matter how talented he was, would it really be alright for him to suddenly start refining level-8 pills? More than half a month had passed. If he could not hand over the goods in the end, he would not be able to compensate even if he tore down the Heavenly Treasures Street. This thought had tormented him for half a month, and Uncle Sea slightly regretted his impulsiveness back then. This continued until Nini sent over the batch of Yin and Yang Pills …
After a detailed appraisal of the 400 Yin and Yang Pills, there were 130 60% -pills, 170 70% -pills, 68 80% -pills, and 32 90% -pills.
Uncle Sea almost swallowed his own tongue!
There were a total of 10 sets of medicinal ingredients, but there were 400 Yin and Yang Pills? My god, what kind of pill formation rate was this? Furthermore, their grades were so terrifying. The worst pills were 60% -pills, and 70% -pills were the highest! If Nini, who was an elemental spirit, had not confidently said that Wang Zhong had personally refined these pills, Uncle Sea would have suspected that Lao Wang had found a pill refinery master in the Heavenly Gates to help him.
It was simply unimaginable. Just two months ago, Wang Zhong had been following behind Wang Zhong to learn the most basic knowledge about pills and medicinal properties and pharmacology. Yet, Wang Zhong had reached such a level so quickly. Even the most impressive pill genius in the Land would not have such an exaggerated achievement.
Uncle Sea and Old Cow were very excited. At the moment, only the two of them knew about this. Back then, Wang Zhong had stated very clearly in the letter that it was best not to spread the news about pill refinery. To the outside world, they would announce that Uncle Sea's pill refinery shop had invited a mysterious alchemist. Taking the mysterious route was good for the Heavenly Treasures Street and Wang Zhong.
Now, he could finally sleep. According to the requirements of the contract, he had to sell 100 Yin and Yang Pills to the Netherworld Factions every month for half a year, or sell 600 Yin and Yang Pills to the Netherworld Factions in one go. This time, he did not need to keep the 400 Yin and Yang Pills. He simply sold all of them and bought six sets of medicinal ingredients. Wang Zhong would make up for the remaining 200 Yin and Yang Pills in the contract.
Lao Wang did not plan to refine too many Yin and Yang Pills, mainly because the Yin and Yang Pills did not have any practical use for Lao Wang. Furthermore, if he wanted to earn money, as long as he was successful in pill refinery, there were many ways to do so. Thus, refining the Yin and Yang Pills was just an attempt. After all, it was not easy to find level-8 pill recipes. He wanted to familiarize himself with different pill recipes and earn a small sum of money at the same time. He wanted to build a foundation for level-7 pills and develop his skills.
According to his previous pill formation rate, he only needed five sets of medicinal ingredients to refine 200 Yin and Yang Pills. He wanted six sets just in case.
Uncle Sea and Old Cow swiftly and decisively went to the gathering point of the Netherworld Factions to deliver the goods.
It was a massive palace that stood on the outskirts of the Catanlyke District. It was also known as the Two Realms Division. Frankly speaking, it was a diplomatic or business location that the various large powers in the Netherworld had set up in the Land. Of course, most of the things that could be directly traded at the Two Realms Division were things that were easy to carry around, such as pills. Other large goods, daily necessities, or special materials from the Land were also here. This was the "official department" of the divine territory.
This time, the purchase of Yin and Yang Pills was issued by the Two Realms Division. Not only was it issued by the Two Realms Division in the Catanlyke District, it was said that the Two Realms Division in the middle circle and above in the Land had issued similar purchase missions. This also caused the Two Realms Division to be bustling with people recently.
After much difficulty, they finally squeezed in. There was a sea of people in the spacious hall. There were dozens of rooms in the surroundings, and each room was connected to an independent transmission array that represented different Factions in the Netherworld. Old Cow and Uncle Sea looked at the signboard of the Netherworld Faction and squeezed in with great difficulty. The person in charge of receiving them was not the ordinary disciple who had signed the contract with them, but a fellow who looked somewhat terrifying.
He had a ferocious expression, and his terrifying frontal bone bulged outwards. Six eyes were arranged in three rows on his face. Furthermore, the pupils of each eye were completely different and emitted a coldness that caused one's heart to palpitate. His nose was protected by a sharp horn that was not long and did not protrude. There was also a pile of curved horns on his head that looked like those of sheep. They were jade-green in color, and one could faintly see ghosts surging within them …
This was a craggy person with many eyes. He could be considered a famous race in the Netherworld. Furthermore, from his attire and aura, he was completely different from the ordinary disciple who had signed the contract with Old Cow and Uncle Sea. It was obvious that he was of a higher level.
When faced with this person, Old Cow and Uncle Sea appeared rather nervous. They explained their intentions while trembling with fear. The other party asked them to present the Yin and Yang Pills for them to take a look. There were mainly sixth-grade and seventh-grade pills, with a mix of eighth-grade and ninth-grade pills. This quality caused the craggy person with many eyes, who had been absent-minded, to instantly become radiant.
Frankly speaking, the outcome of the Yin and Yang Pills that the Netherworld had purchased this time was not very good. After all, high-level alchemists were not interested in level-eight Yin and Yang Pills and felt that it was beneath them to earn this money. Furthermore, it was not easy for low-level alchemists to refine Yin and Yang Pills. It was very common for cauldrons to explode from failure. Many low-level alchemists accepted this mission to obtain a level-eight pill recipe. After all, level-eight pill recipes were too rare in the Land.
Thus, they risked their lives and signed contracts with the Netherworld Factions at great cost. On average, these alchemists could only refine one batch of pills out of three batches. They could barely cover their costs, but under such circumstances, the quality of the pills could be imagined.
The batch that the Factions had recently received was between 30% and 50%. The Factions did not accept pills that were below 30%. As for pills that were above 60%, they had never seen them before. This made the craggy person with many eyes, who had been in charge of collecting pills, rather unhappy. This kind of job was a trap. He could not control it. In the end, he could only passively collect a pile of rubbish and be questioned by others.
He did not expect that when this box was opened, the lowest quality pills were all 60% pills. This was simply blinding …
This kind of alchemist was slightly more presentable! The craggy person with many eyes finally felt that his mood had become much better. Was it refined by that snake with colorful skin? It did not seem like an alchemist of this level. Furthermore, there was a reason why the quality of the Yin and Yang Pills that the Faction had purchased this time was not good. High-level alchemists disdained to refine pills, and they were all low-level alchemists. Most of them came for pill recipes, so the results could be imagined. However, the quality of this batch of pills had obviously exceeded the average level. This kind of alchemist was definitely not an ordinary person. It was unlikely that he would be interested in the money that the Faction had given him. Was it because he had a particularly strong desire for the Yin and Yang Pill? Or was there some other purpose?
In any case, it was boring to stay here, so the steep multi-eyed person paid them some attention. After the two of them settled the pill fees and took another batch of medicinal ingredients, the steep multi-eyed person flipped open the contract and realized that the alchemist's name was not Uncle Sea, but a fellow called Wang Zhong. Back then, Uncle Sea had wanted to change his name, but it was a pity that contracts in the divine territory had rather powerful rules. Thus, he had to use his real name.
Wang Zhong? The craggy person furrowed his eyebrows. He felt that this name was familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it.
This was strange. He rarely came to the Land. How could he have heard the name of someone from the Land?
… …
Although the Netherworld Faction had provided the pill recipe and medicinal ingredients for this mission, to be honest, the price that the Netherworld Faction gave for the pills was rather fair.
According to the unified market price, a 60% pill was worth 1,000 Silver Star Stones, a 70% pill was worth 1,500 Silver Star Stones, an 80% pill was worth 2,200 Silver Star Stones, and a 90% pill was worth 3,000 Silver Star Stones.
