Chapter 1270 On the Same Boat
"It's just that if this thing is consumed too much, it will not only affect your lifespan, but also very likely affect your subsequent breakthroughs."
"Although it can recover slowly, the recovery time is too long. Overall, no one would be foolish enough to use their essence."
The Earth Realm Master's last sentence caught Chen Yang's attention. If not using one's own essence, then whose was it being used?
Since this kind of thing was so precious, it was impossible for anyone else to give it.
Seeing the doubt in Chen Yang's eyes, the Earth Realm Master couldn't help but curl his lips.
"How do you think it's done?"
"Of course, it's through infighting."
"Do you really think there are so many opportunities in the Spirit Realm?"
"If you remove the spiritual energy, the things in the Spirit Realm that can truly be called opportunities would have long been taken by countless people over tens of thousands of years."
Although the Earth Realm Master only regained his consciousness for a thousand years out of ten thousand, it did not mean he was ignorant of everything that had happened in these ten thousand years.
The Earth Realm had so many races and factions. The number of cultivators at the Hegemon Realm (He Dan Zhi Qiang) over tens of thousands of years was not a small figure.
Among them were many geniuses.
There had been existences like Jiang Jiantao in the Earth Realm before, and these people could contend for the best opportunities.
Whether it was due to luck or other reasons, these opportunities were obtained by them!
Treasures and cultivation techniques were secondary; the most important things were insights into higher realms.
After all, every anomaly was a condensation of power, and a very pure power at that.
"These opportunities were initially controlled by major factions. They found ways to obtain all the opportunities they could."
"Therefore, they later sent those tokens to other factions."
"Even if you investigate the deaths in the Spirit Realm, you might not be able to find anything."
"And in such a situation, a Hegemon Realm cultivator becomes their opportunity!"
"By extracting the essence from these people's bodies, couldn't it be used for oneself?"
"Otherwise, would they use their own essence?"
Chen Yang felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this. He never imagined that these guys had such methods.
However, the Qinghua power was similar to the blood essence produced within a warrior's body before the Foundation Establishment realm.
Both were the essence of a person's power.
While the two were talking, faced with the Wing Clan elder's bargaining, the innkeeper of the Fortune Spirit Inn shook his head resolutely: "This matter does not allow for bargaining. Two portions of essence from Hegemon Realm cultivators, if it were just to trick some younglings, it would be nothing."
"But in my eyes, even a thousand-year foundation is useless to me."
"I've heard that there is an ancient being in the Wing Clan who consumes the essence of others periodically to maintain his lifespan."
"Tell me, is the essence condensed by a Hegemon Realm cultivator with a thousand-year foundation stronger, or one that has ten thousand years of existence?"
The Fortune Spirit Innkeeper's words directly pierced the Wing Clan elder's intentions.
The Wing Clan elder never expected that the mysterious innkeeper of the Fortune Spirit Inn would know so much.
However, in his heart, there was no surprise.
After all, this person had lived in the Spirit Town all along and had a high degree of freedom within the Spirit Realm.
It was not impossible for him to know secrets that others did not.
Although his biggest secret was revealed by the innkeeper, the Wing Clan elder did not get angry. He truly needed something from the other party.
"You want my essence. If you truly understood, you would know that I cannot do it."
"Just state your price!"
The Wing Clan elder was also a bit anxious, as the Wing God was the backbone of the Wing Clan.
Although the strength of these old guys was formidable, and their explosive power was definitely not inferior to the Wing God, their vitality had long begun to decline, and they even dared not be too active.
After a moment of silence, the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper slowly said: "Five portions of essence from Hegemon Realm cultivators, and they must have a thousand-year foundation."
The Wing Clan elder immediately nodded at this condition.
However, the price was indeed too high, and he needed to know more.
"If the Wing God is alive, you must save him. If he is dead... I need to know the reason, or who did it!"
The Fortune Spirit Innkeeper chuckled: "If he is alive, I will naturally save him."
"However... if he is truly killed by someone, does the Wing Clan really intend to seek revenge?"
"There must have been quite a few Hegemon Realm cultivators killed by your Wing Clan over the years, right?"
"Aren't you afraid that these people will band together and cause trouble for you?"
The Wing Clan elder fell silent at these words, only giving a warning glance.
After the Wing Clan elder left, the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper reappeared before Chen Yang and the Earth Realm Master.
"Since you are here, I don't need to go in. No one is more familiar with the affairs of the Spirit Realm than you."
"Regarding the death of that Wing God from the Wing Clan, you should know, right?"
As the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper spoke, his eyes were on the Earth Realm Master.
However, in the next second, the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper felt that the Earth Realm Master's gaze was not right. Although he wasn't looking at him, he wasn't avoiding him either; he was looking at Chen Yang!
The Fortune Spirit Innkeeper's eyes widened, looking at Chen Yang with disbelief. Could this matter have something to do with Chen Yang?
Chen Yang was only at the fifth level of the Hegemon Realm!
Being able to enter the Spirit Realm in advance should have been the limit for this fellow.
Seeing both their eyes on him, Chen Yang used his mental power to create a barrier around them before awkwardly chuckling and saying to the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper, "I didn't originally intend to act."
"But I couldn't help it..."
Although it were only a few short sentences, thousands of words were contained within them.
After a long pause, the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper finally reacted: "Are you really at the fifth level of the Hegemon Realm?"
Chen Yang shrugged helplessly: "My realm is just like this. I haven't been at the fifth level for long."
"But I got a great bargain at the time. When I acted, that guy was already heavily injured."
As for the matter of the bronze cauldron, Chen Yang naturally would not elaborate.
Having received the answer, the Fortune Spirit Innkeeper could only sigh helplessly. If that were the case, the true answer could naturally not be told to the Wing Clan.
Chen Yang was now with the Earth Realm Master, essentially on the same boat as himself.
