Wanzai tree heart? Long Long began to think.
The Wanzai Tree Heart is an extremely rare treasure in the world of cultivation, but in the Donghuang Realm, since many races are good at cultivating giant trees, it is not that rare and is just a relatively valuable treasure.
But if we just give it out like this...are we ATMs?
Long Long turned to look at Shi Yao, only to see that she had taken out a ten-thousand-year-old tree heart from her storage bag. He was suddenly speechless.
"Master, let me talk to her." Long Long hurriedly stopped him.
"The heart of the Wanzai tree is not a rare treasure..." Shi Yao said subconsciously, but when she thought about the fact that she had not made any progress in her relationship with Beiming Fanyang over the years, she sighed quietly.
Never mind, let's see how he handles this matter.
Long Long took out a jade slip, entered the information and put it aside.
Shi Yao curiously went over to pick it up and saw the words "paid" written inside.
Then Long Long took out another green thing... It was an ordinary tree heart, but not the eternal tree heart.
This thing Jianmu can produce hundreds of pieces every year, and because the output is too high, it is not worth much. Before Shi Yao could say anything, Long Long quickly put the jade slip and the tree heart into it, and then immediately activated the formation and decisively teleported it over.
Shi Yao: …
"If you want to communicate with the other party, this won't work. The other party will probably just ignore you..." She said speechlessly, obviously having been tricked in the past. But the formation suddenly lit up again, and soon a jade slip reappeared.
"We need the heart of a Wanzai tree, not an ordinary heart. We will deliver it according to the old rules."
Shi Yao: ???
She looked at Long Long in shock, thinking that this was the first time she received repeated messages from him.
"Master, it's not that the other party can't communicate with us, it's just that they don't want to." Long Long sneered and took out another jade slip and wrote:
"Now that the Eastern Emperor Realm is engulfed in war, the Ten Thousand Years Tree Hearts in our clan are under strict control. We cannot obtain them, so the most we can give you is a Thousand Years Tree Heart."
He sent the jade slip over, and Shi Yao beside him had a complicated expression on her face.
Although the Wanzai tree heart is valuable, it is not so valuable that it must be controlled, and it is unprecedented in history. If we tell such a lie that can be easily exposed, will the other party be angry and cut off contact with us directly?
After a while, the other party actually sent the jade slip back again, which made Shi Yao depressed again.
So was my previous communication method really wrong?
"It can be a tree heart that lives for a thousand years." There were only six simple words in the jade slip.
"Did you see it?" Long Long handed the jade slip to Shi Yao, "Master, you didn't even doubt the news that the Wanzai tree heart was under control. It's obvious that the other side has been completely isolated and has been out of touch with the outside world for a long, long time."
"Perhaps it is for this reason that they are so frugal with words and are unwilling to say a word to us...but they are reluctant to give up the resources we can provide."
“In fact, judging from the resources of past transactions, it seems that what the other party needs is not only the resources themselves, but also some information behind the resources.”
"For example, they want a hundred different kinds of fire flying swords... What do they need so many flying swords for? But if we can understand the sword-making level of the Eastern Emperor Realm through the flying swords themselves, then it makes sense."
"Indeed." Shi Yao pondered and nodded.
"Master, do you think that with Beiming Fanyang's extremely conservative, xenophobic, and vigilant character, there are other channels for communication with the outside world besides us?" Long Long continued with a smile, "I don't think so."
"If so, they would not immediately accept the request to 'change from a ten-thousand-year tree heart to a thousand-year tree heart', but would first seek help and confirmation from another channel."
"In other words, since the other party agreed so quickly, it means that we are their only channel of communication with the outside world."
"So that's how it is." Shi Yao sighed in her heart.
Are these things that Long Long deduced difficult to understand? No, it's just because she was too concerned about her relationship with Beiming Fanyang in the past, so she was confused.
Now that Long Long had pointed it out, Shi Yao realized that it was Beiming Fanyang who needed us more, not us who needed to maintain this relationship more.
"So what should we do next?" Shi Yao asked.
"Do nothing." Long Long replied.
"Oh?" Shi Yao widened her eyes slightly and quickly understood what her disciple meant.
Let it air dry.
Leave Beiming Fanyang out there for a while, let them adjust their attitude, and let them know who is asking whom for help.
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Shi Yao asked with a smile.
"Wait until they can't hold back any longer and send us a message on their own initiative." Long Long replied.
"Very good." Shi Yao nodded, "Then I'll leave this formation diagram to you for safekeeping."
"Give it to me?" Long Long asked in surprise.
Didn't the master not trust me before and kept all kinds of information hidden? Why did he suddenly become so generous and even let me handle the only channel of communication with Beiming Fanyang?
Looking at the smile on Shi Yao's face, Long Long vaguely guessed: He thinks I'm smart, so he wants me to make use of my talents in this area!
"Okay." Long Long agreed, "If Beiming Fanyang sends any news, I will tell Master as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye to Shi Yao, Long Long returned to Jianmu and saw the three ancestors standing outside chatting.
"Long Long." The Canglong Patriarch waved at him, "You've come just in time. We need to get down to business."
After bringing Long Long to the secret room, the Canglong Patriarch said in a serious tone:
"Long Long, take out your secret treasure."
Long Long then took out the Red Dust Hundred Worlds Map and demonstrated to Zhuniao and Xuanwu Patriarch how to teleport themselves from one side to the other.
"What an interesting magic weapon." The Vermilion Bird Patriarch said in amazement, "If ordinary life is teleported, it is often unable to withstand the vibration of the space process. Only a magic weapon with a spirit that has awakened spiritual consciousness can protect the teleported person during the teleportation process."
"Indeed." Kunlun Mirror echoed, "Teleportation is not a simple matter. This ancestor is an expert. Some people should really learn from him."
"Would you consider selling this magic weapon?" The Vermilion Bird Patriarch continued to ask, "I do have a secret treasure of the same price here that I can exchange with you."
"Ahem!" Ancestor Canglong hurriedly stopped him, "Let's talk business first! In the next war, Long Long will have to use this treasure to execute tactics!"
"This treasure has a spirit. Even if it is traded, it will be difficult for it to recognize its owner, right?" The Xuanwu Patriarch echoed.
"That's really a pity." The Vermilion Bird Patriarch nodded.
"Be careful." The old ancestor Canglong suddenly sent a message to Long Long, saying, "This old woman is very stubborn. If she likes something, she will get it at all costs. You have to be careful next time."
Long Long: ...
Then why did you ask me to show this treasure to her?
Seeing Long Long's complicated expression, Patriarch Canglong explained:
"It's not that she will force you, but she will keep raising her bid to buy it from you, and she may even offer a price that is very difficult for you to refuse. If you don't plan to sell this treasure from the beginning, don't waver later."
Oh, so it's the character of a spendthrift old lady, right? Long Long sneered in his heart.
