"Void Black Soil?" Paragon Huo Cheng looked curiously at Dongbo Xue Ying.
"I want to get a Sun Star Nucleus Stone, there's no other way, I have to refine it from the Void Black Soil." Dongbo Xue Ying explained, "This Void Black Soil, I would like to ask Big Brother Huo Cheng for help."
Paragon Huo Cheng frowned, "The Void Black Soil is just a small matter, not worth mentioning! But to refine it, the Void Black Soil is just the most basic material, I still need 12 other precious materials. I also need to invite experts to refine it bit by bit … "
"But other than that, what else can I do? Is there anyone willing to trade for the Sun Star Nucleus Stone? "Dongbo Xue Ying said helplessly.
"Mn."
Paragon Huo Cheng nodded.
The Sun Star Nucleus Stone, other than the hard work of refining, came from the Sun Star Nucleus! That was the most terrifying and dangerous place, even Rulers would be instantly turned to dust. The Sun Star Nucleus Stone was extremely precious, just the size of a fingernail … was enough for many powerful existences to exchange for it. It was much more precious than Eden treasures. So when Chihuo Laozu opened his mouth, he felt a little ashamed. He really had no other way, only Dongbo Xue Ying had some hope.
"I've never heard of anyone willing to trade. I originally had one, but it was a pity that my true body died and I lost it." Paragon Huo Cheng said, "Forget about the trade, even if someone was willing, the price would be ridiculously high."
"Right." Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
"There are three problems in refining it, one is sufficient Void Black Soil, two are 12 precious materials, and three is to find experts to refine it." Paragon Huo Cheng said, "Amongst them, the Void Black Soil is the easiest, the 12 precious materials are slightly more troublesome, and finding experts to refine it is the most troublesome."
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed, "I'll settle them one by one."
"Leave the Void Black Soil to me, how much do you need?" Paragon Huo Cheng asked.
"At least 5 million kilograms of Void Black Soil." Xue Ying said. Only five million kilograms of Void Black Soil could condense a fingernail-sized Sun Star Nucleus Stone weighing half a kilogram.
"I'll give you 20 million!" Paragon Huo Cheng said straightforwardly.
"Thanks." Dongbo Xue Ying smiled.
"We are brothers, there's no need to thank me. This is very simple for me." Paragon Huo Cheng smiled.
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
The best way to obtain the Black Void Mud was to enter the fourth layer of the Sun Star, the Black Void Mud layer. There was Black Void Mud everywhere, and one could get as much as they wanted! Based on the level of danger, the fourth layer of the Sun Star, the Void Black Mud layer, was something that only Hegemons could safely survive in. They wouldn't have to worry about the flames that were born from the Void Black Mud.
However, there were some top-notch Supremacies who could enter the Void Black Soil layer of the Sun Star.
For example, Qing Jun. He could do it.
For example, amongst the peak Paragons, Paragon Huo Cheng who was most proficient in flames could also do it! For Paragon Huo Cheng, entering the Void Black Soil Stratum was simply like returning home. It was easy and relaxed. Therefore, gathering 10 million kilograms of Void Black Soil only required a little more time.
"Gathering the 12 precious materials might be more troublesome." Paragon Huo Cheng said, "Inviting experts to temper them would be even more troublesome. Other than Blood Blade and Empress Qian He, only Ripple Lady Planet Lord who is most proficient in refining knows how to temper. Tempering is an extremely complicated matter. Moreover, during the tempering process, one must be fully focused and cannot relax. Once one relaxes, the tempering will fail … inviting a Ruler would probably be very difficult. Otherwise, we can only invite Ripple Lady Planet Lord. However, she is the only Paragon under Empress Qian He, and Empress Qian He dotes on her a lot. She spends most of her time refining artifacts, and rarely goes out. She is very cold to other cultivators, so it would be difficult to invite her. "
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
This was indeed the greatest difficulty.
Inviting a Ruler?
Although his master treated him very well, no matter how good he was, he couldn't rely on his master's doting on him and ask him to do this and that! This would only make his master loathe him. After all, giving him an inch and asking for a foot was already a very overboard thing!
Between powerful existences, there was more emphasis on fair trade.
If he wanted something, he had to pay a price!
"When the time comes, I'll go pay a visit to Ripple Lady Planet Lord." Dongbo Xue Ying said, "Everything can be discussed."
"Mn, gather the 12 precious materials first. Once you're done, go see Ripple Lady Planet Lord." Paragon Huo Cheng said, "I'll make a trip to the Sun Star tomorrow."
"I've troubled Big Brother." Dongbo Xue Ying thanked him.
…
That night.
Under the witness of Dongbo Xue Ying, Jing Qiu, Monarch Mo Xue, Chihuo Laozu, White Sand City Lord and others, Dongbo Qing Yao officially acknowledged Paragon Huo Cheng as his master, becoming his disciple.
"Hahaha, although I've accepted two disciples before, I didn't have the patience to teach them. They didn't become powerful existences, and died long ago." Paragon Huo Cheng sat there, looking at Dongbo Qing Yao who was kowtowing to him. He laughed, "I've been imprisoned on the island in the heart of the lake for a long time, and my patience has been honed. Qing Yao, you're my only disciple now. You have to work hard, and cultivate to become a powerful existence. Only then will I, as his master, and your father be able to gain face. "
"Yes, Master." Dongbo Qing Yao immediately replied.
"Mn, Master doesn't have any other gifts for you! This is a treasure I chanced upon in the ancient cave dwelling. I'll give it to you for protection. " As Paragon Huo Cheng spoke, he threw out a red pearl. Dongbo Qing Yao stretched out her hand to receive it. The moment she tried to refine it, the red pearl immediately transformed into a blurry red light that enveloped Dongbo Qing Yao's entire body, transforming into a fiery red robe.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu watched happily from the side. The path of cultivation was bumpy, and although they were strong now, it was hard to say what would happen in the future. To be able to let their daughter become the disciple of such a powerful master, both of them were extremely satisfied.
Monarch Mo Xue was all smiles.
Even Dongbo Yu, who had been feeling lonely recently, revealed a smile at this moment.
*****
On the second day, Paragon Huo Cheng, who had just taken in a disciple, quietly left for the Sun Star.
And Dongbo Xue Ying first started to gather precious materials through Bloodshed Tavern. Bloodshed Tavern's information network was also rather good, and very quickly, they had gathered seven of the precious materials. As for the remaining five … they had no choice but to release the news and publicly gather these five precious materials. As long as it was a powerful existence, they would be able to guess that Dongbo Xue Ying was planning to refine a Sun Star Nucleus Stone.
But Dongbo Xue Ying wasn't afraid. With his strength, he wasn't afraid of anyone snatching it.
He even directly announced that he was going to the Sun Star to cultivate, and needed a Sun Star Nucleus Stone! But who was willing to exchange for it?
The news was released.
As expected, no one was willing to exchange for the Sun Star Nucleus Stone.
But the five precious materials were gradually being gathered. There were powerful existences who came and straightforwardly said, "This Five-Colored Phoenix Blood Stone is a gift to Monarch. It's just a toy."
The value of precious materials was limited.
Even if others said they didn't care, Dongbo Xue Ying still offered items of equivalent value to exchange for it. Otherwise, if he took away someone else's treasure without giving anything, his reputation would be ruined. In the future, who would dare to exchange for it?
When Dongbo Xue Ying was weak, it was tough for him to gather Demon Bone Ash. But now, he was able to gather rarer precious materials much faster. This was the difference in status! Now that he was stronger and had a higher status, powerful existences were all willing to trade with him. They didn't care about those precious materials, they cared about getting closer to him. After all, if they were more familiar with each other, it would be easier for them to ask Dongbo Xue Ying for help in the future.
...
Time passed.
Paragon Huo Cheng went to the Sun Star for a month before returning. He brought back a total of 10 million kilograms of Void Black Soil.
As for Dongbo Xue Ying, he had a headache collecting 12 precious materials. He had only collected 10, and there were still two that he had no news about.
