The first to react was the eight-armed elder. He hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "Could you be the owner of the warship, the Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire?"
"That's right. Senior must be the third elder of the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe, Zhang Nianyi?" Lin Qian also cupped his hands when he saw the eight-armed elder in front of him.
But at this moment, Lin Qian was very surprised because this was the first time he had seen the Sea Race.
Although these Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe members looked somewhat similar to humans, one could tell from the suction cups on their eight arms that they were human beings.
Octopus!
"The octopus has become a spirit!" Of course, this was only what Lin Qian was shouting in his heart. He could not really say it out loud.
While Lin Qian was surprised, the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe members were also very surprised.
They originally thought that the emperor who owned this magical warship and empire should be a powerhouse who was hundreds of years old and had a realm beyond the Life and Death Realm.
They did not expect it to be a young man in his early twenties who was only at the Void Piercing Realm.
However, to be able to reach the Void Piercing Realm at the age of twenty was also very talented.
"I have to say that Empress Ye and His Majesty Lin are truly a match made in heaven." Beside the Eight Arm Sea Race's Third Elder Zhang Nianyi, a young Sea Race member smiled and praised.
Lin Qian also laughed and waved his hand. "Brother Zhang Qi is too kind. Everyone, sit down. Let's talk while we eat."
"Alright!" Zhang Nianyi was obviously very happy. In the past month, he had been thinking about this matter. His big brother, the patriarch of the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe, was also paying attention to this matter. If they could buy a warship, it would be a huge leap for the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe.
From their conversation, Lin Qian already knew that it was just as Ye Xin had said. The Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe bought a warship to fly directly to the holy land and save time.
According to Zhang Nianyi, if they were to bring the younger generation of the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe to the main branch of the Eight-Armed Oceanic Tribe, they would have to go around the holy land of the branch.
Then, it would take an entire year.
And this was only going there. It would still take a year for them to return.
This round trip took two years!
If he could buy a battleship, it would take him two months.
At the same time, Lin Qian also understood why the Eight-Armed Seafolk had always been asking for a trade and had never thought of using force to snatch it.
In the eyes of the Eight-Armed Oceanids, the battleship was Lin Qian's private property. If a rare treasure was born and a mystic realm was discovered, it was normal for them to fight for it with force.
If it was someone else's private property, the Eight-Armed Oceanids would purchase it through trade.
This was what they naturally thought, because the battleship belonged to Lin Qian. If they, the Eight-Armed Oceanids, wanted it, of course, they would buy it. Snatching it by force was vile behavior.
In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, there was actually such a reasonable race. Lin Qian was very surprised. At the same time, he had a very good impression of the Eight-Armed Sea Race.
"Elder Zhang, first of all, I have something to tell you. The Black Blood Race's Lu Shangda who invaded your sacred ground had a grudge against me, so I killed him …" Following this, Lin Qian described the situation of the Black Blood Race in the Plains of Beginnings in detail.
After he finished, Lin Qian cupped his hands and apologized, "I'm very sorry that I couldn't let you take revenge with your own hands."
"No, no, no. Lin Emperor is too serious. The Eight-Armed Oceanids' Southern Division owes you a favor." At this point, Zhang Nianyi's eyes lit up. "This old man has a suggestion. I wonder if Lin Emperor is willing to listen?"
Lin Qian smiled and nodded. He spread out his right hand and said, "Elder Zhang, please speak your mind."
"Lady Ye has mentioned the situation of Lin Emperor and the others. It's not that this old man is arrogant, but no one in the Linhai Prefecture is a match for me. This old man is willing to put in some effort to obliterate the Victorious Heavens Sect to show my sincerity. What do you think? "Zhang Nianyi put forward his suggestion.
According to Zhang Nianyi's thoughts, the Victorious Heavens Sect had cooperated with the Black Blood Race's Lu Shangda, so they were definitely not good people. Why not destroy the Victorious Heavens Sect on behalf of Lin Qian?
This way, on account of this, perhaps the other party would be willing to sell the battleship to them.
Zhang Nianyi actually didn't have much confidence. In his opinion, any battleship was extremely precious. Even if they could only buy one, even the emperor of the Hua Xia Empire, Lin Qian, would find it hard to part with it.
Therefore, before this, Zhang Nianyi took advantage of the fact that Lin Qian hadn't returned to visit frequently.
In Zhang Nianyi's opinion, Ye Xin was a woman after all. She would probably be a lot more soft-hearted. He reckoned that after asking a lot, she would relent and sell them one battleship.
In the end, he hadn't expected that Ye Xin wouldn't relent. She only said that she would wait for Lin Qian to return.
Fortunately, this Lin Qian was very young and seemed easy to talk to. However, Zhang Nianyi was still very apprehensive.
"Elder Zhang, you don't have to worry about this matter. I want to settle the matters of Linhai Prefecture myself." Lin Qian shook his head gently and rejected Zhang Nianyi's kind intentions. If he really wanted to control Linhai Prefecture, he would have to rely on his own strength.
If he relied on the Eight-Armed Oceanic Race, it would be difficult to convince the masses.
After hearing Lin Qian's rejection, Zhang Nianyi revealed a disappointed expression. He cupped his hands and said, "Lin Emperor, this old man has been rude. Today, we will bid farewell for now. I hope that you can consider it again. We will visit again in a few days. "
Seeing Zhang Nianyi's disappointed expression, Lin Qian felt a little strange. "Elder Zhang, didn't you come here to buy my battleship? Why are you leaving without buying it? "
"Ah?" Zhang Nianyi was in disbelief when he heard Lin Qian's words. "Could it be that Lin Emperor intends to sell the battleship to us?"
"Of course. Your sincerity has moved me long ago." Lin Qian smiled and nodded.
Zhang Nianyi opened his mouth and asked in confusion, "Lin Emperor, didn't you just reject me?"
Lin Qian and Ye Xin came to a sudden realization after hearing Zhang Nianyi's words.
It turned out that Zhang Nianyi thought that Lin Qian had rejected his help because he had refused to sell them the battleship.
In reality, Lin Qian had rejected his help because he wanted to control Linhai Prefecture in the future.
"Due to personal reasons, it isn't convenient for me to ask Elder Zhang for help with Linhai Prefecture's matters. However, I have decided to sell the battleship to you from the start. " Lin Qian looked at Zhang Nianyi and nodded. "I heard from Xin 'er that you intend to buy one of my battleships with ten million superior-grade Soul Crystals?"
"That's right." Zhang Nianyi nodded.
Lin Qian waved his hand. He opened his right palm towards the other and shook the five fingers that were spread out.
Before Lin Qian could speak, Zhang Nianyi gritted his teeth and nodded with a pained expression. "We agree to fifty million superior-grade Soul Crystals for one battleship!"
"Elder Zhang, you misunderstood me." Lin Qian shook his right palm again and smiled. "I will give you five battleships for ten million superior-grade Soul Crystals."
"Pfft!" As soon as Lin Qian finished speaking, Zhang Qi, who was still tasting his wine, spat it all over his grandfather's face.
