Soon, a Black Skull was brought over. Looking at the various factions displayed on the warship, the Black Skull's eyes widened in disbelief.
He hadn't expected that so many forces would discover this place, and at that moment, he even felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't keep this a secret. With so many forces discovering this Celestial Flower, what would be the point of him guarding this secret?
If he hadn't been captured by Lin Yun and his group, and had come on his own, the probability of him obtaining this rare and precious herb from these forces would indeed have been extremely small; in fact, he would have faced great danger.
"A top-tier warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization, and not just one, but many other warships at the same level..."
Looking at the various warship classes displayed on the image, Black Skull took a deep breath, utterly shocked.
He also recognized it as the fleet of a duke from the Cordis Empire.
He even knew which duke's fleet it was.
But how could their Duke of the Cordis Empire possess such formidable strength?
Their Cordis Empire's official fleet is actually this powerful?
His strength was only at the early stage of level ten.
A top-tier warship of a level seven technological civilization is equivalent to a peak level ten expert. Moreover, the opponent has two such warships, along with many other powerful level seven technological civilization warships. Compared to this strength, he is utterly insignificant.
"I...I didn't know...it would turn out like this..." he opened his mouth, stammering.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yun snorted coldly.
"Sheng Yi, take him away!"
Lin Yun said.
Sending this black skeleton was merely a way to vent his frustration; the situation has unfolded as it is, and even if he were to tear the black skeleton to pieces, it wouldn't change anything.
Moreover, the Black Skull did indeed bring him to a great opportunity.
Currently, his chances of obtaining this Celestial Flower seem quite high.
"These past few days, I've had the detection equipment constantly monitoring the movements of Young Master Ming and his group. Once the Heavenly Flower bloomed and I discovered they were heading this way, I plucked this Heavenly Flower..."
Lin Yun made a decision in secret.
Whew—\r
Lin Yun closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation.
"The number of spiritual crystals is still too small. My martial arts have reached the early stage of level nine, and my spiritual power can now be raised to the lower level of level eleven. However, raising my spiritual power to the lower level of level eleven requires far too many spiritual crystals..."
Lin Yun sighed inwardly.
Raising one's mental strength from the peak of level ten to the lower level eleven requires nearly five trillion mental crystals. It turns out he did have that many mental crystals, but he used them to purchase detection and shielding equipment.
He could barely gather that many spirit crystals now, but he couldn't use them all on this; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to supply the robots with their energy.
Unfortunately...
Otherwise, his strength could have been improved considerably, and his cultivation speed could have been even faster.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, the forces surrounding the Celestial Flower have all tacitly refrained from making a move.
Clearly, none of the leaders of these forces are fools.
When the flowers bloom, it doesn't matter how much they compete.
Arguing now will only expose what's going on here.
No one could guarantee that they could eliminate everyone else before the others spread the information, and no one could guarantee that even if they did, the others wouldn't have other ways to get the information out of here.
In the past two days, several more forces have arrived here, including two from the Cordis Empire and three from surrounding level-five civilizations.
It's clear that these forces were taken aback upon their arrival and the discovery of the numerous other forces present.
However, they quickly calmed down.
Some people even greeted each other.
They tacitly refrained from making a move.
In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed again.
There are only seven or eight hours left until the Heavenly Flower blooms.
A rich floral fragrance wafted from the Heavenly Evolution Flower, and its buds began to tremble and slowly unfurl. The fleets of several factions began to stir slightly.
Whew—Whew—Whew—\r
Just then, another fleet arrived in this star system.
"Hmm?"
Sensing the warship's alert, Lin Yun opened his eyes and looked ahead.
"The fleet of the Cordis Empire's royal family..."
Looking at the fleet's insignia on the star map, Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and whispered.
Moreover, this fleet of the Cordis Empire's royal family also includes thirty-five top-tier warships of level seven technological civilization.
This fleet consists of only thirty-five warships, a super fleet composed entirely of top-tier warships from a level seven technological civilization.
If the enemy were to gain complete control of these warships, it would be equivalent to having thirty-five peak level ten cultivators.
Lin Yun took a deep breath.
Therefore, relying solely on Sheng Yi would likely not be enough to command respect from the entire audience.
The Cordis Empire's royal family is really something... just a mere Heavenly Flower, yet they've sent such a super-powerful fleet.
Lin Yun was utterly speechless.
Could it be that the Cordis Empire's royal family just acquired a large number of top-tier battle weapons at the level of a seventh-tier technological civilization, and since they had nowhere to show them off and rarely had a use for them, they've decided to use them here?
Regardless of whether this was his intention or not, Lin Yun now needed to treat this matter with caution.
"Could it be that we need to buy a few more robots with the strength of level eleven martial artists?"
Lin Yun frowned.
This celestial flower is absolutely not to be missed; therefore, to be on the safe side, this seems to be the only way.
"However, should I buy two or three more robots with the strength of an early-stage level 11 martial artist, or buy one with the strength of a mid-stage level 11 martial artist, or perhaps grit my teeth, sell everything I own, and buy one with the strength of a late-stage level 11 martial artist?" Lin Yun paused, pondering.
The last option undoubtedly appealed to him greatly.
Last time, when he met that young master Ming and his group at the Cordis Empire's royal court, the strongest among them were only two robots with the strength of mid-level eleventh-level cultivators.
He would feel more at ease if he bought a robot with the strength of a late-stage level 11 martial artist.
It should be noted that a robot with the strength of a late-stage level 11 martial artist is, in terms of strength alone, no weaker than two robots with the strength of a mid-stage level 11 martial artist.
From this perspective alone, spending five trillion spirit crystals to purchase a robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist is worthwhile.
After all, if he were to purchase two robots with the strength of a mid-level eleventh-level martial artist, it would cost him six trillion spirit crystals.
This is a simple calculation; Lin Yun can do it.
For robots of the same grade, the higher the quality, the more cost-effective the purchase; this has always been the case.
However, if that were the case, he would really have to sell everything he owns.
Because he truly doesn't have five trillion spirit crystals right now; he has to gather them from all sides, while also preparing for the energy consumption of all the robots.
"Let's buy a robot with the strength of a mid-level eleventh-level martial artist..." Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed softly and said in a low voice.
Selling everything he owns is easy, but once he does that, his spiritual essence will be severely diminished, and he will be bound by constraints in whatever he does next.
As long as they don't clash with that young master Ming and his group, a robot with the strength of a mid-level eleventh-grade martial artist, plus Sheng Yi, should be enough to handle them. However, if they do clash with that young master Ming and his group, even if he buys a robot with the strength of a late-level eleventh-grade martial artist, it will still be difficult to defeat them.
So, the choice is obvious.
"Buzz—"\r
As Lin Yun made his choice, a large number of spiritual crystals disappeared from his cosmic trading system account.
