Hearing Shifeng's words, Feng Qianyu hesitated for a moment.
Nine Dragons Emperor had completed the Ancient Ruin's activation quest ahead of everyone else. He would have a considerable advantage when raiding the Ancient Ruin. Hence, she had asked Xiang Shifeng to lend her his men. After all, the resources inside the Ancient Ruin would be of great help to the contest on Thunder Island.
Ancient Ruins were a treasure trove. They were a special secret land. By completing a special quest, players could obtain the Secret Land Key and open the door to the Secret Land. However, she had been one step behind Nine Dragons Emperor, who had obtained the first Secret Land Key. As a Grade 1 Ancient Ruin, only 1,000 players could enter. There was also a time and level limit. The resources inside the Ancient Ruin were far more plentiful than the treasures inside. As long as players had enough time, they could take as much as they wanted.
Meanwhile, players who raided the Ancient Ruin for the first time would obtain the most treasures.
Only, Shifeng's asking price was a little too high.
To obtain the Secret Land Key, she had already invested a lot of manpower and resources into the Ancient Ruin. Yet, Shifeng was asking for 20% of the profits …
Most importantly, the Sunset Forest was a Grade 1 Ancient Ruin. It was far more dangerous than a 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeon. She did not think that the Ling YI Society had the strength to raid the Ancient Ruin.
"You can take your time to consider it. In any case, the Sunset Forest will open on the same day as the contest on Thunder Island. One is morning, and the other is night. We still have time," Shifeng said unhurriedly.
"You know the opening time?" Feng Qianyu asked, surprised.
The Sunset Forest's opening time was a secret. They had only learned about it after obtaining the Secret Land Key. This was also why she was so anxious. If they could obtain the Sunset Forest's many treasures, their combat power would definitely increase by a large margin. It would be of great help to the contest on Thunder Island. Otherwise, she would not have been in such a hurry to gather experts.
"I've read about the Sunset Forest in an ancient book. Moreover, the book also mentioned the Final Guardian Boss," Shifeng said casually.
He had never read such an ancient book before. However, there were indeed books in God's Domain that introduced Ancient Ruins. He simply wanted to let Feng Qianyu know that he had the means to raid Ancient Ruins.
"Ancient books?" Feng Qianyu suddenly understood. Their guild leader had only found out about the existence of Twilight Forest through an ancient book. Afterwards, she began investigating and doing quests. It was normal for an ancient book to introduce Twilight Forest now. "Alright, I'll agree to your conditions. However, the prerequisite is that you can conquer Twilight Forest."
"I understand." Shifeng nodded.
"Alright, then we'll gather at Tianqi City tomorrow morning." Feng Qianyu hung up after he finished speaking.
Following which, the Shifeng busied himself. As time was of the essence, the Shifeng first sent a message to A Melancholy Smile, instructing A Melancholy Smile to purchase Elemental Sources for no more than 300 Gold, which was equivalent to the price of an Epic material. If the price exceeded this limit, it would easily arouse suspicion.
In addition, Shifeng also contacted Shiuse Qiangwei, instructing Shiuse Qiangwei to lead a team to the neutral map, Flaming Rain Mountains, to grind for Flame Potions. The Flame Potion was a must-have when raiding Twilight Forest.
Just as Shifeng finished assigning tasks and quietly waited for God's Domain's update, he received a call from Liang Jing.
"Head Instructor, the White Tiger Dojo has sent someone over again. They say that they're willing to agree to your conditions. When the time comes, they'd like to invite you over to discuss the details," Liang Jing said.
"They've agreed to my conditions?" Hearing Liang Jing's words, Shifeng suddenly recalled that he had indeed discussed the price of nurturing experts with the White Tiger Dojo's Jiang Tianyuan. Chuckling, he said, "Tell the White Tiger Dojo that I want double the price. Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation."
Nurturing 500 sixth-floor experts with 50 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids was not an easy task, even if the White Tiger Dojo's members were talented.
If the White Tiger Dojo had agreed to his conditions, he would've done so. However, times had changed.
"I understand," Liang Jing said, nodding.
Following which, Liang Jing relayed Shifeng's message to Xie Qiwen, who had been waiting in the reception room all this time.
"What? Double the price?! "Xie Qiwen's eyebrows twitched in anger." Why doesn't he just rob us? Does he think the White Tiger Dojo can't do it? "
"I'm sorry, but this is our Head Instructor's decision. I have no other choice," Liang Jing said calmly. In reality, she, too, wondered what kind of deal Shifeng had with the White Tiger Dojo to force a genius like Xie Qiwen to visit the White Tiger Dojo time and time again.
"Fine. Just wait. Don't regret it when the time comes!" Xie Qiwen then left with a flourish.
Elsewhere, Shifeng had already entered his virtual gaming cabin and logged into God's Domain.
As soon as Shifeng logged into God's Domain, he contacted Lifeless Thorn and Solitary Nine without hesitation and had them form a 100-man team with the adventurer team's experts. Meanwhile, Shifeng took out a Return Scroll and teleported back to Cold Wind City.
Originally, Shifeng had planned to lead Lifeless Thorn and the others before raiding the Ancient Shrine and opening the teleportation portal.
However, Feng Qianyu had suddenly decided to raid the Sunset Forest, and his plan had to be pushed forward by half a day. Naturally, he had to save time on leveling up Lifeless Thorn.
While he had killed the Snow Rift's Boss, he had sent someone to the library to search for information on the Ancient Shrine. Hence, he had some understanding of the Snow Rift's Ancient Shrine.
After returning to Cold Wind City, Shifeng returned to the adventurer team's Residence and retrieved a large number of rare materials. He then began to construct the Nine-star Polar Domain Magic Array.
They had no chance of defeating the Ancient Shrine's Guardian Boss in a direct confrontation. Their only hope was to suppress the Boss with magic arrays, lure it with numbers, and use the Miniature Ballistas.
However, things were different now.
He now had an Elemental Source. This was why he had dared to agree to Feng Qianyu's request.
An Elemental Source contained energy that was even purer than Seven Luminaries Crystals. It could be used in many ways. While it was the best choice for forging weapons and equipment, it could also be used to construct magic arrays.
Magic arrays constructed with an Elemental Source would be significantly more powerful. However, magic arrays were one-time-use Consumables. Once they were used up, they would disappear. In the past, no player had dared to be so extravagant.
However, Shifeng couldn't care less now.
The sooner he opened the teleportation portal, the sooner he could start trading with Cold Wind City. At that time, he would definitely earn more resources than he did in Stone Forest Town.
Inside the quiet workshop, Shifeng took out one material after another and began to craft Magic Scrolls.
As one Magic Scroll after another formed, a magic array made up of nine Magic Scrolls appeared before Shifeng. When the final step was to insert the Magic Crystal, Shifeng stopped what he was doing. Taking a deep breath, he retrieved the Source of Extreme Frost from his bag.
The instant Shifeng removed the Source of Extreme Frost, his arm froze. However, Shifeng quickly inserted the Source of Extreme Frost into the magic array's core.
In the next moment, the Source of Extreme Frost began to vaporize at a visible rate. As wisps of energy flowed into the magic array, the magic array's power increased.
By the time all of the Source of Extreme Frost's energy had flowed into the magic array, the workshop's interior became abnormally cold. Even Shifeng, who possessed extremely high Ice Resistance, shuddered involuntarily.
Meanwhile, the magic array, which had originally been dark-purple, turned icy-blue.
If Shifeng hadn't prepared beforehand, the Magic Scrolls made of rare Earth Dragon Skin would've most likely exploded under the frightening amount of energy.
After the magic array calmed down, Shifeng closed the Magic Scrolls.
