Upon hearing Ye Zhen's words, everyone was stunned, then gave a wry smile. It seemed that the other party was about to ask for a price, but the other party hadn't said it directly yet, making it difficult to refuse.
“This… my Ironclad Turtle Clan is willing to provide ten elemental crystals as rations for each elemental spirit!” Edie, the leader of the Ironclad Turtle Clan, spoke first.
Ten elemental crystals—that's quite a price. Even when exchanging them at the Inheritance Stone Tablet, depending on the attributes, it would still require around tens of thousands of merit points.
To put it simply, this thing is the elemental crystal that new lords initially use in the trial space. It is quite valuable in the trial space, and although it can be exchanged after you leave, it is not cheap.
"If that's the case, then that would be wonderful. It would be a great blessing for these elemental spirits!" Ye Zhen agreed after a moment's thought. The elemental crystals given to them did not include the cost of their own efforts to entice the elemental spirits. The amount was already quite substantial, indicating that the other party had directly quoted their bottom price.
With the Ironclad Turtle Clan taking the lead, the other races that had arrived in the small world earlier, though reluctant, could only continue to call out the same price. However, the Botian Clan and others who came in later seemed somewhat hesitant, since they had not truly experienced the difficulty of subduing the elemental spirits and still held a sliver of hope in their hearts.
“Sister Ye Zhen! Our family is small, and ten elemental crystals are really too much food. Do you think we could reduce it a bit?” The leader of the Botian Clan asked with a troubled expression, and many other weaker race leaders chimed in.
Hearing his words, Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Sure, but how many elemental spirits you can bring back depends on your own abilities!"
The implication is clear: if you don't have money, don't bother me, go play somewhere else!
The leader of the Botian Clan smiled awkwardly. "Alright then, I'll contact the Lord and get back to you later, okay? After all, this is no small sum!"
Ye Zhen nodded, and the leader of the Botian Clan led his men away. Accompanying them were several leaders of smaller races, clearly intending to try it themselves first, just in case they could succeed. After all, no one's money comes easily; it's all earned by our brothers risking their lives in the starry sky!
Ye Zhen and Tao Ping didn't care about this. They believed that such matters depended on individual abilities. If they couldn't handle it, they would have to come back to her, and the price might not be the same then!
“Sister Ye Zhen, as Chief Edi said, I am also willing to offer ten elemental crystals as food for the elemental spirits!” Unexpectedly, the chief of the Star Sea Clan stayed behind and was willing to buy the qualification from Ye Zhen, which was something neither she nor Tao Ping had expected.
In terms of elemental affinity, the Starsea Clan is probably better than the Skybreaker Clan. After all, they have a trace of the bloodline of the Starry Sky Beast, so they should be more likely to gain the favor of the elemental spirits. Unexpectedly, the Skybreaker Clan left, but the Starsea Clan stayed.
"It was a bit of a surprise, but I'm still very grateful!" Ye Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then replied with a smile, having some idea of what the Starsea Clan was up to.
While they could gain the favor of elemental spirits themselves, who would complain about having too many of these little spirits? Ten elemental crystals for one elemental spirit is a good deal no matter how you look at it, and perhaps by doing both, they could bring back even more elemental spirits?
Soon, the races willing to follow the Primordial Star stayed behind. Ye Zhen counted them and there were about a dozen races, which was quite a lot of people. Everyone was even a little worried about whether they could get a share of the pie with so many people.
The Botian Clan watched from afar, inwardly sneering. No matter how favored you are by the elemental spirits, a few dozen or a hundred is the maximum, right? With so many races going in to grab a piece of the pie, what if the elemental spirits don't get anything, and you end up losing even your own share…
However, when the gazes of the Botian Clan and others passed over the numerous starships and landed on Xu Changqing and his group again, everyone was immediately taken aback.
What was originally just a dozen or so earth and wind elemental spirits surrounding the four people has now grown to be surrounded by hundreds of spirits. And it's not just earth and wind elemental spirits; wood elemental spirits from a nearby spot and water elemental spirits emerging from the stream have also gathered around, as if the two of them are the darlings of all the elemental spirits, loved by them all.
"This?" A junior clan leader looked at the Botian clan leader, wondering if the decision was correct.
"It's alright, this is probably the limit. Besides, if the elemental spirits like them too much, others won't have many more opportunities! Let's go somewhere else, we'll definitely be able to get a lot of elemental spirits!" The chief of the Botian Clan said in a deep voice, looked at the location of the small world, and led everyone in another direction.
Ye Zhen naturally saw everyone's movements, but she didn't pay any attention to them. She also saw the situation on the Nuwa Clan's side, and even more. Not only were there elemental spirits surrounding them, but there were also more elemental spirits stirring in the distance, rushing towards them.
Although the reason is unknown, the place where the four people are located has become a place that elemental spirits yearn for. In the next month, let alone going to find elemental spirits, the elemental spirits in the surrounding area will probably spontaneously gather here. It will be even more difficult for the Botian Clan and others to gather elemental spirits than for the Ironclad Turtle Clan before.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen and Tao Ping exchanged a glance, their lips curving slightly upwards. They gestured to the crowd and looked in the direction where the four members of the Wa Clan were.
"Don't worry, everyone. Look, there are already quite a few elemental spirits over there, and more are still arriving from afar. So there's no need to worry about not having enough elemental spirits!"
"Furthermore, as you all know, elemental spirits are timid and easily frightened. Therefore, I urge all clan leaders to strictly control their clansmen and ensure that they approach the elemental spirits only according to our arrangements. Otherwise, if we scare these little guys away, we will all return empty-handed!"
"Don't worry, Sister Ye Zhen! We will absolutely follow orders!" said the chief of a small race. He had no objection to the arrangement, and the others nodded in agreement.
"That's good! I'll go ask them about the situation. The clan leaders can also go back and select their clansmen. After all, those with higher elemental affinity are more likely to be favored by the elemental spirits!"
"Of course, it won't take this many people to get close to the elemental spirits, so the clan leaders can also send other people to try their luck elsewhere. After all, it's always a good thing to rescue as many of these little guys as possible!"
