Everyone was envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked them to remain silent because of their selfishness?
At this moment, he could only watch as a precious treasure changed owners just like that.
It was not that no one wanted to say that it was Qiao Anping's doing and should belong to him.
However, he helped Qiao Anping get rid of the culprit, retrieved the pearl, and accepted the karma of his resurrection, so there was nothing to say.
Otherwise, Qiao Anping would have died in vain without a chance to be resurrected.
If they insisted on being entangled, they would have to shed all pretense of cordiality. In this dangerous World of Spirits and Souls, without the protection of the two strongest people, one could imagine the consequences.
In less than half a day, more than half of them had died. If this continued, who knew how many more would die.
Fortunately, they obtained this Nine Transformation Soul Restoration Pearl. As long as it consumed one billion Dan units to fill it once, one person could be resurrected.
Many people began to calculate whether the wealth they had accumulated in the past was enough to exchange for one billion Dan units of magical power.
Cultivators who cultivated the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique and were at the first transformation of Essence Gathering Realm could obtain one Dan unit of magical power after eight hours of normal cultivation a day.
One billion Dan units was the standard magical power of one billion first transformation cultivators in a day.
Although the value system in the cultivation world was different, the price of labor still had a unified calculation.
One billion Dan units was equivalent to 300 billion yuan of material wealth in the AD era!
This was calculated based on the basic wage of 300 yuan a day for a middle-level labor force.
Cultivators who could reach the Essence Gathering Realm were one in ten talents among ordinary people. It was not difficult for them to earn 9,000 yuan a month.
This amount of wealth, even in the AD era, was extremely huge. Many small countries' annual GDP could not even reach this amount. If it was an individual, he or she would be among the top ten richest people in the world.
In the end, these people realized that unless it was provided with the power of a country, it was impossible to gather it by relying on their personal accumulation.
At this moment, many people looked at Xu Rui.
The integration of the human race and the concentration of resources for a few people seemed to be paving the way for this moment …
No one would believe that there was no conspiracy.
However, no one would expose it because this conspiracy was beneficial to them!
Just as everyone was thinking, Vigilante A secretly transmitted his voice to Bodhisattva.
"Bodhisattva, although this pearl is good, the timing of its appearance is too strange. You must pay more attention to it."
Upon hearing this, the Bodhisattva Spirit King nodded. "I have the same feeling. Thank you for your reminder, Venerable One. I will be careful."
"If that's the case, I'll leave these people to you, Bodhisattva. I'll go and search for the mastermind," Vigilante A said.
"Please go ahead, Venerable One. I still have some skills, I won't let you down, Venerable One." Bodhisattva Spirit King promised.
"That's good. Then I'll go."
Vigilante A disappeared right in front of everyone's eyes.
Having learned their lesson, the crowd did not dare to ask any more questions. Instead, they looked at the Bodhisattva Spirit King.
"The Venerable One is going to look for the source of the disaster. He'll be back soon. Everyone, just stand here and don't move. I'll keep an eye on him," Bodhisattva said calmly.
After a while, there was a long groan.
Monastery Head Ma, who was sitting on the ground on his last breath, finally woke up and barely managed to make a sound.
"Master Ma, are you alright?" a medical staff beside him asked.
"I'm fine. What happened just now? Where am I? "Old Master Ma tried his best to keep his eyes open.
The medical staff hurriedly recounted what happened just now in a low voice.
"So it was the Venerable One who saved everyone's lives. Sigh, how can you children be so heartless? At the end of cultivation, was he really going to become a heartless immortal like in the legends? That's not the real path of cultivation! "Old Master Ma tried his best to hold on and lectured the young people.
The crowd lowered their heads in silence.
Then, Old Master Ma struggled to stand up and saluted Bodhisattva. "I'm really sorry for not being able to say anything about what happened just now. I hope you can forgive me. These children have just started their path of cultivation, they don't know what's important yet. Please don't blame them too much."
"Hehe, it's alright. Everyone is not a saint. Who doesn't make mistakes?" Bodhisattva comforted him. "You, on the other hand, are kind-hearted and admirable. I heard that your only son met with misfortune. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know. "
A hint of joy appeared in Old Master Ma's eyes. After his son's death, he had asked the Venerable Dragon God to find his soul in the Land of Sanguinity. After a period of nurturing, it had slowly taken shape.
If he could use the Nine Transformation Soul Restoration Orb to reconstruct his body, he would be able to obtain the perfect cultivation aptitude. This was truly a blessing in disguise.
He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Even if I have to die, I can't repay the kindness of the two Venerable Ones. If there's anything I need from now on, please let me know."
"Old Master Ma, please rest for a while." Bodhisattva said gently.
At this moment, the group of young people saw what happened and could not help but have their thoughts wander.
It turned out that the world of top-level cultivators was not entirely a cold and emotionless world …
At least, that kind of dark forest did not fit the current situation.
Many people originally thought that Vigilante A would take the treasure for himself and kill someone for the treasure, standing on the moral high ground.
They did not expect him to be a true hero after all. He gave it to the righteous Bodhisattva. What else could be said about such a style?
This fact made some people's thoughts change quite a bit.
Humans were high-level animals created by the environment. Seeking benefits and avoiding harm were instinctive. They were affected by the environment and changed by it. Even in the Era of Mystery, this would not change.
If doing good deeds in a society was beneficial and could bring about many conveniences, people would naturally do good deeds. On the other hand, if doing good deeds required shedding blood and tears, wasting time, and adding even more trouble, then no matter how good the propaganda was, people would gradually tend to protect themselves. No matter how much the moral gentlemen criticized "moral degeneration", it was impossible for moral degeneration to improve …
…
At this moment, Vigilante A was flying slowly in the sky of the World of Spirits and Souls, carefully searching every river, every grassland, and every valley below.
Although there were many interludes before this, Sir System would not forget the real purpose of coming here, which was to find high-quality seeds of malevolent spirits.
This was also the reason why it was furious when it heard that Fang Ning wanted to sacrifice his stock.
After coming here, not only did he not earn anything, but he also had to leave with a loss. How could he tolerate this?
Unfortunately, to Sir System's disappointment, almost every place below was in a state of dilapidation.
Most of the places were directly exposed to the surface, and there was no Yin Energy at all. Only a few Yin lands with excellent locations would have some Yin Energy gather.
Under these circumstances, even if there were any good seeds of malevolent spirits, they would have already starved to death!
After all, this was the World of Spirits and Souls, a place where Yin Energy gathered and transformed, so it should be very rich.
However, at this moment, the situation was like this. It could be seen that the "Vitality of the Upper Realm is becoming increasingly barren and on the verge of destruction" that many people once said was not a false threat, nor was it a fabrication, but an iron-clad fact.
Sir System was looking for treasures outside, while Fang Ning was asking the green-skinned frog.
"Little frog, other than using the Death Substitution Technique and letting enough people die, is there any other way to leave this World of Spirits and Souls?"
"Master, just like last time, you just need to find a World Order," the green-skinned frog said happily.
"Oh, last time, the World of Deadly Souls' Maxim existed in Death's remnant soul. In that case, the World of Spirits and Souls' Maxim should also exist in the Spirit Lords. Could it be that we still can't avoid a battle with the Spirit Lords? "Fang Ning said worriedly.
"Master, you're right. There are many worlds in the Upper Realm, and the corresponding Maxim has long been refined by the leaders of each world. Only by defeating them, or if they voluntarily hand it over, can we obtain it." The green-skinned frog said affirmatively.
Fang Ning immediately became worried and secretly pondered.
In the previous battle, although Sir System won, it was not a true victory. The other party's intention was more to delay Vigilante A, who had the strongest combat power, and harvest the others.
In fact, they had already achieved their goal. Qiao Anping, who was the backbone of the combat power, had died in battle, and many elite combat power had been lost.
The other party's strategic goal had been undoubtedly exposed. In fact, such a big strategic goal would never be hidden for long. As soon as the action started, it would eventually be seen through.
After all, this was not a fifty-episode romance drama where the male and female leads would only find out that they were brothers in the last episode …
The Spirit Lords wanted to harvest the powerhouses of the human race and extract their vitality to prolong the life of the World of Spirits and Souls that was on the verge of destruction!
The powerhouses of the human race, on the other hand, were driven by the Heavenly Axiom. In order to obtain the World of Spirits and Souls' Maxim, they had to kill the Spirit Lords to perfect the mysterious Maxim of Earth.
Both sides had their own needs. Between them, it was like asking a tiger for its skin, and conflict was inevitable.
Now, the World of Spirits and Souls was slightly better, but the Land Realm had not suffered any serious damage, and the backbone still existed.
It all depended on the next step, and who would be the real winner.
However, Fang Ning had a faint feeling that the Spirit Lords' intentions were not as simple as they seemed. They were definitely not short-sighted Sir System.
"Just think about the big picture, why do you have to secretly belittle me?" Sir System suddenly said discontentedly.
"Just focus on finding your malevolent spirits, why do you have to peek at my thoughts?" Fang Ning was also dissatisfied.
"…"
