As he gently stroked the warm, smooth white jade in his hand, Young Master Wang's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Seeing the words "Absorb?" pop up on the virtual panel in front of him, Wang Zheng's finger gently glided over the exquisite jade, his mind racing.
Regardless of the cultivation methods passed down by these cultivators from the grotto-heavens, the more this is the case, the more determined they are to acquire this cultivation method.
If the two realms can truly be open and honest with each other and exchange what they have, it would be a great opportunity for rapid development for both the Cave Heaven and Blue Star.
"Tsk, it's a pity these guys are too conservative. Even if Old Zhao and the others were to push things forward, it probably wouldn't be quick enough. But when things really come to that, it'll be too late..."
After much contemplation, Young Master Wang's mind raced with conflicting thoughts. Finally, he took a deep breath to steady himself and decided to follow the plan set out the night before: first, establish good relationships, and then proceed gradually.
These teenagers were all of good character; they didn't have that arrogant and domineering attitude. Otherwise, Young Master Wang wouldn't have been able to lower himself and take the initiative to befriend them.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, these teenagers are all exceptionally talented and have been groomed as successors.
Besides the deep-rooted poisoning of their minds, if there really were such an arrogant person, they would probably have been secretly killed long ago in a society completely devoid of the rule of law.
However, precisely because of this, the older generation's stubborn thinking is no use at all, and these pillars of various sects are the breakthrough point that can be used.
With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng deliberately took out a few spiritual crystals from his storage bracelet and distributed them.
"These so-called spirit stones are indeed rare, and the spiritual energy within them is evenly balanced and harmonious. However, we on Blue Star do not possess such things. We can only use the spiritual energy crystals within these strange beasts for healing purposes. I wonder if we can exchange them with the spirit stones in your blessed lands..."
Strange beasts naturally exist within the cave.
However, the living space within blessed lands is inherently limited, unlike the vast and abundant land of the Chinese mainland, so naturally there won't be many of them.
Moreover, the vast majority of these are tamed spirit beasts, so items like spirit crystals are not common.
Especially these high-grade spirit crystals, with their vibrant colors and rugged shapes, are far superior to spirit stones, even if they are just used to make simple ornaments.
At this moment, the young men around Young Master Wang were playing with the spiritual crystals in their hands, showing some curiosity.
'This ancestral land is indeed an undeveloped treasure trove. If these spirit crystals were placed in a grotto-heaven, their value would at least increase several times over. Add to that those imaginative comics and games… this trip was definitely worth it!'
Standing to the side, Qin Yao was even more enamored with the sixth-grade Thunder Dragon Spirit Crystal that Wang Zheng had deliberately given her. Holding the crystal, which emitted a faint glow, she said to Wang Zheng:
"I don't know if we can communicate with each other, but the crystals inside these monsters are rare for us, and crystals as pure as these are even rarer."
Before he finished speaking, he took out an even larger spirit stone and handed it to Wang Zheng.
"I really like this crystal. Can we exchange it?"
Seeing the eager looks on the faces of many talented individuals around him, Wang Zheng naturally nodded with a smile. He had brought out these spiritual energy crystals with this intention in mind, so he naturally wouldn't refuse at this moment.
However, after nodding, seeing everyone's delighted expressions, he handed the spirit stone back.
"These are just some external possessions, so why talk about exchanging them? If you fellow disciples like them, take them. There may not be many other things on Blue Star, but there are plenty of exotic beasts."
If you are willing, you can take a stroll around the Tianzhu Mountains after this matter is settled.
There are no demon kings around here, so it's quite safe for those of you with high strength. Just hunt a few exotic beasts, and you'll probably get plenty of spiritual crystals..."
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, everyone became excited, and even the usually composed Linghu Yiyun's breathing became a little heavy.
After all, although they were all already at the Innate level, they came to Blue Star only because they believed that there would not be too much danger on this trip, and to broaden their horizons.
To be honest, they have no say in the investigation of the Demon Lord's affairs.
With Wang Zheng, a local expert, leading the way, they naturally wanted to have a good experience and appreciate the different customs and culture.
Moreover, even if Wang Zheng said there were no demon kings around, there are so many of them innate beings here. Unless a high-level demon descends, there is no danger!
Therefore, they all retorted when faced with Wang Zheng's polite words.
"Junior Brother Wang Zheng, what kind of talk is that? How can we take your things for free? Spirit crystals are worthless in the ancestral land, but do you think we should cherish these spirit stones?"
Ultimately, it's just for recovery, no different from a Qi-replenishing pill. Here, take these spirit stones, don't think it's too little, haha..."
Qin Yao didn't accept the spirit stones he was supposed to give away. Instead, several more spirit stones appeared. Young Master Wang silently memorized the name of the Qi-replenishing pill and, after considering it for a while, decided not to take it out.
One must eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time; Wang Zheng has that kind of patience.
The Han family prodigy set an example, and the others behind him followed suit.
"That's right, that's right, what Senior Brother Han means is exactly what I wanted to say. It's not fair to let Junior Brother Wang Zheng suffer a loss for nothing. Besides, anyone with eyes can see that these demon beast crystals are not common items. How can we take advantage of you!"
"Senior Brother Wu is absolutely right. We'll have to rely on Junior Brother Wang Zheng to show us around later. We can hunt a few monsters and bring them back to show off..."
Seeing that his hand was soon stuffed full of spirit stones, Wang Zheng could only manage a wry smile.
"This... fellow senior brothers are so kind, I... I have no choice but to accept it, I feel ashamed to accept it..."
Young Master Wang outwardly felt ashamed, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Their innocent appearance almost made Wang Zheng feel embarrassed, but even so, it showed that he still had to do his kung fu.
Seeing how convincingly Wang Zheng portrayed his shy yet reluctant demeanor, Qin Yao also got into character and casually comforted him.
“These spirit stones are just ordinary objects to us. Senior brother, there’s no need for you to be so concerned. Most of us have several branches in our families.”
Just like Senior Brother Wang, we have the same opinion about this exotic beast crystal. We don't lack spirit stones either; they're just consumables for daily use.
"Besides, Senior Brother only finds it strange now. Who knows, in a few more years, a spiritual vein might condense on the ancestral land. At that time, this land is vast and rich in resources, and Senior Brother might not even want it anymore..."
