The encounter of Yao Nuan and the others on Great Wind Mountain could be said to be the most important part of the trial. The mountain bandits had been exterminated, leaving behind only twenty weak women. If Lu Ye had ignored them at that time and left alone, the Heavenly Asura Clan might not have dared to casually bring him here.
But even though he knew that Yao Nuan and the others were only shadows, Lu Ye was still willing to lend them a helping hand, sparing no effort to escort them to Ding 'an.
It could be said that when Lu Ye made the decision to bring Yao Nuan and the others along, the Heavenly Asura Clan saw the light they had been waiting for for countless years.
"Little friend, on behalf of the entire clan, this old man pleads you to save our clan from this abyss of suffering." Mi Shi's voice was solemn. "If little friend is willing, our clan is willing to pay some compensation."
"What can you pay?" Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mi Shi said, "That depends on what little friend needs."
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow. "What if I want that Asura Field treasure?"
Mi Shi pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay!"
It really was okay! But thinking about it carefully, it was not strange. The Heavenly Asura Clan controlled the Asura Field, so everything in the Asura Treasury could be considered their property. Even if that treasure was worth ten billion Asura Seals, it would not be a problem to give it away.
"I also want all the treasures in the treasury that can improve the quality of one's source!" Lu Ye said again.
This time, Mi Shi did not immediately agree, instead explaining somewhat awkwardly, "Little friend, the situation is like this. The Asura Field is a treasure that requires our clan's bloodline to control, but at the same time, it also requires great strength to rely on. Our clan has been plagued by the bloodline curse for so many years, and there has been no more sunshine, only a few new Yue Yao. Thus, even our clan's control of the Asura Field is somewhat lacking. This is also why we needed to wait for little friend to start a new trial before we could bring you here. The place where our clan lives in seclusion is a special place created by the Asura Field. Under normal circumstances, we would not be able to forcefully bring you here."
Lu Ye was stunned, but he quickly reacted. "In other words, you can control the Asura Field, but not completely?" And from Mi Shi's words, this degree of control did not seem to be very great.
If that was the case, then his previous idea could not be realized. He originally thought that the Heavenly Asura Clan controlled the Asura Field, and could take whatever they wanted from the treasury.
"That's true!" Mi Shi nodded and admitted, "Right now, as the clan leader of the Asura Field, I have the highest authority. If you want the treasures of the Asura Field, I can give them to you directly based on my authority. However, if you want more … I won't give them to you for free."
"Do I need to use the Asura Seal to exchange for it?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes, but this old man can make some slight changes. I will try my best to let you exchange for those resources at the lowest price so that you can enjoy the same treatment as our clansmen."
"Oh?" Lu Ye was a little surprised, "Your Heavenly Asura Clan's clansmen also need Asura Seals to exchange for resources from the treasury?"
"Of course." Mi Shi nodded. "The purpose of the Shura Field was to train our clansmen and help them grow up quickly. Nothing is gained without effort. Even our clansmen have to participate in the training to obtain the Shura Seal. Then, they can go to the treasury to exchange for the resources they need. However, the price of the exchange is different from yours."
"How big is the gap?" Lu Ye asked.
"If our clansmen want to exchange for resources, we can get a 50% discount."
50% discount … then he could use the Asura Seal twice the price.
He could see that Mi Shi wasn't lying in this regard because there was no need to. If he could give away the treasures of the Asura Field worth tens of billions, why would he limit the amount of resources he could exchange?
Mi Shi allowing him to enjoy the same treatment as the Heavenly Asura Clan's clansmen was already a show of sincerity.
"Little friend, this is all the remuneration our clan can provide." As Mi Shi spoke, he looked at Lu Ye with some apprehension, "May I ask what Little Friend wants to consider?"
Although he felt that Lu Ye wouldn't refuse, this matter was related to the clan's future after all, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.
Lu Ye didn't answer immediately. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How many clansmen does your Clan have right now?"
This was related to how much time he had to spend. After all, helping others resolve the Bloodline Curse took a lot of time.
Mi Shi sighed, "It's difficult for our clan to reproduce. At present, there are only a little more than ten thousand clansmen." After that, he added, "I know what Little Friend means. Little Friend, please rest assured that not all clansmen need to resolve the Bloodline Curse. Most of the clansmen who don't have enough aptitude don't need to be bothered. Little Friend, you only need to help solve the quota of one thousand five hundred people."
With these one thousand five hundred people as the foundation, the Asura Clan could continue to reproduce in the future and would no longer be troubled by the Bloodline Curse. Once the clansmen's lifespan was extended, the clan would slowly grow stronger. It was not impossible for them to restore the glory of their ancestors in the future.
Lu Ye did some quick calculations. With his current ability, it would take him less than four to six hours to deal with a person's Bloodline Curse. If he was more lenient, he could deal with at least three people in a day. One thousand five hundred people would take him less than two years to deal with.
Spending this time, he would obtain a treasure worth tens of billions, and then have the same convenience of exchanging treasures and resources as the Heavenly Asura Clan.
This was a very good deal.
Especially that treasure, he had completely given up on it because the price was too expensive. It wasn't something he could collect, but now there was hope of getting it.
In this way, the problem of the Nine Prefectures could be solved smoothly, and Little Nine would no longer have to worry.
"Okay!" Lu Ye immediately nodded.
Mi Shi was overjoyed. "Thank you, little friend. Since this is the case, I will sign an Asura Contract with you as a pledge!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and a Asura Contract appeared in front of him.
From the looks of it, although the Heavenly Asura Clan knew some of the characteristics of the Dao Tree, they did not know that the Asura Contract could be burned by the Dao Tree.
Lu Ye did not point it out. He did not intend to break the contract, and with such a contract, he could also ensure that the Heavenly Asura Clan would not break their promise to him.
Although this possibility was not high.
Mi Shi handed the Asura Contract to Lu Ye to check.
After a moment, Lu Ye nodded. "No problem, but I want to add one more condition."
"Little friend, please speak."
"I want to get the Asura Field's treasure first!"
Mi Shi pondered for a moment and quickly agreed. "No problem, little friend, please wait for a moment!"
As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. Without any activation of magic power, there was no trace of movement, and there were no traces of space teleportation. He just disappeared without a trace.
This was clearly the power of the Asura Field.
After Mi Shi left, Lu Ye began to check his Asura Token. Just now, his Asura Token had been active. Without a doubt, it was definitely Abluo and Gu Sheng sending him messages.
After a brief check, as expected, it was Abluo and Gu Sheng's messages asking him where he was now.
Lu Ye sighed. How should he explain this? The three of them had agreed to join forces to go to the special training location to search for information about the Asura Field. In the end, the two of them went in, but he was brought here by the Heavenly Asura Clan.
He had broken his promise to her!
However, this was not his fault. How could he have known that there would be such a strange encounter this time? The Heavenly Asura Clan, which was rumored to have been exterminated long ago, actually still had a clan of ten thousand people living in seclusion in a certain location.
Lu Ye suddenly remembered that since the Heavenly Asura Clan had not been exterminated and Mi Shi could even control the Asura Field slightly, then what were the experts who came to search for the whereabouts of the Asura Field looking for?
No matter how hard they searched, it was useless in the end.
There was also the clue that Gu Sheng had obtained. From the looks of it now, even if the three of them worked together to defeat the powerful Yan Jia, it would all be for naught in the end.
However, now that Abluo and Gu Sheng had been sending him messages, how should he reply?
Just as he was in a dilemma, Aqiduo suddenly said, "Senior Brother, are you thinking about how to reply to Abluo and Gu Sheng?"
Lu Ye looked up at her in surprise. Aqiduo smiled and explained, "I have been paying attention to Senior Brother, so I know about the agreement between Senior Brother and them. Right now, they should have already entered that location …"
As she said that, she flipped her hand, and a mirror-like object appeared in her hand. She then walked forward and placed it in front of Lu Ye.
Lu Ye looked over and was instantly surprised. This was because Abluo and Gu Sheng's figures were reflected in the mirror.
Wave-like ripples flowed on the surface of the mirror, causing the image to be somewhat distorted. However, it could be seen that Abluo and Gu Sheng were somewhat anxious at this moment.
The three of them had clearly entered together, but Lu Ye had disappeared without a trace. Furthermore, they could not contact him through messages. This was very strange!
The scene reflected in the mirror should be what Abluo and Gu Sheng were experiencing right now. Lu Ye finally understood why the Heavenly Asura Tribe was secretly paying attention to him.
"Still can't contact him?" Abluo looked at Gu Sheng and asked.
"No response." Gu Sheng shook his head. "What about you?"
"Same!" Abluo touched his bald head. "What's up with this kid? Why isn't he replying to any messages? Could he have encountered some danger?"
Gu Sheng shook his head. "The greatest danger in this location is that Yan Jia. You and I both know how strong Brother Lu is. Unless he goes to find Yan Jia himself, he won't be in any danger."
"That shouldn't be the case. We have a contract with him. What's the point of him going to find Yan Jia himself? Even if he really does find a clue and get the reward, the three of us will have to split it. Plus, he's not that kind of person. "
Gu Sheng was also puzzled. "I used that special item to lure the two of you in with me. Logically speaking, he should already be here. I just don't know why I can't sense his presence."
"So annoying!" Abluo was a little anxious. "Is it you who's unreliable or that kid who's unreliable?"
Lu Ye watched silently and sighed. In the end, he decided not to reply to their messages because there was no way to explain it. As for whether they would encounter any danger in this location — Gu Sheng could survive alone. Now that he had teamed up with Abluo, surviving should not be a problem. (End of Chapter)
