Upon hearing Ye Zhen's words, Yi Di and the others left one after another. They needed to go back and coordinate their people, selecting those with the highest elemental affinity in order to gain the elemental spirits' approval as much as possible and bring them back to their territory.
At the same time, just as Ye Zhen said, they arranged for their clansmen to try their luck in other places, so that they could spread their influence everywhere. After all, it was impossible to use so many people here. The others could wander around other parts of the small world and try to find someone if they could.
Seeing everyone leave, Ye Zhen breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked helplessly at Tao Ping beside her, "Was this bag a good deal?"
Heaven knows this was her first time encountering elemental spirits, and she had no idea how much elemental crystals would cost, so she could only ask for exorbitant prices.
"That's about right. Any more than that, unless they can't even get a single elemental spirit, they're unlikely to be willing to offer such a high price. Besides, it's not good to make things too tense, since we still need them to get back!" Tao Ping shrugged and said.
Elemental spirits are actually very expensive on the market, but there is no market for them because they are difficult to subdue. If they are not handled properly, they will cause elemental riots in the territory. So, it is good to be able to sell them. Ten elemental crystals are a reasonable price.
“That’s true. Let’s go see Zixuan and the others. After all, we still need their help with this!” Ye Zhen nodded, and the group walked towards Zixuan.
As the group approached, the elemental spirits became restless again, running to the other side of the four, looking at them with a mixture of curiosity and fear.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but purse her lips. It was fortunate that she hadn't brought many powerful demons with her, just a few people like Tao Ping. Otherwise, if she had brought a whole group of people, wouldn't all these elemental spirits have been scared away?
"Don't be afraid! They won't hurt you!" Seeing the elemental spirits' appearance, Zi Xuan and the others smiled and reassured them, while waving to Ye Zhen and the others, signaling them to come over.
"Don't be nervous, take your time!" Zhao Wu said with a smile when he saw how nervous the group looked.
"It still feels amazing!" Ye Zhen slowly approached, looking at the various elemental spirits flying or running around her, still feeling incredibly shocked.
She sensed a rich elemental aura from these elemental spirits, which deepened her understanding of the laws of each element. She gently raised her right hand, and a bolder wind elemental spirit approached, gently touching her with its fingers made entirely of wind. Ye Zhen immediately felt a tearing sensation on the back of her hand, yet she could also clearly feel the flow of wind.
"They are all our friends, don't be afraid, they won't hurt you!" Zi Xuan reassured the elemental spirits around her. As the Nuwa clan members continued to comfort them, the elemental spirits gradually accepted Ye Zhen and the others. After discovering that they really wouldn't hurt them, they even playfully frolicked with them.
"Hehe! Stop fooling around, Zixuan, I have something to tell you!" Ye Zhen was being teased by several wind elemental spirits and was being blown around in the air, but upon hearing her words, Zixuan still asked the wind elemental spirits to put her down.
"What's wrong? Did the other clan leaders come to see you?" Without a doubt, Zhao Wu and the others guessed why Ye Zhen and Tao Ping had come.
"Yes, they also want to take some elemental spirits back with them and would like your help. Of course, there will be payment! I just don't know what the situation is on your end?" Ye Zhen glanced at the elemental spirits beside her and said softly.
She wasn't sure if the elemental spirits could understand her, but it felt a little inappropriate to tell them in front of her that she was going to sell them out!
"It's alright, there's no need to hide it. They can sense your heart, whether it's good or evil, and that can't be concealed!" Xu Changqing said with a smile.
"Although I don't know why, our Nuwa clan seems to be naturally very close to these elemental spirits, and can even communicate with them. Even if you don't say it, we plan to have them summon all the elemental spirits of this small world later."
"After all, this small world is going to be destroyed. Leaving them here will only mean they will perish along with the world. Leaving with us will give them a chance to survive."
"However, elemental spirits are unrestrained, so we cannot force them to follow the train of other races to other lords' territories. Therefore, we may not be able to provide them with assistance in this regard!"
Xu Changqing said slowly, "Our Nuwa clan is naturally close to these elemental spirits, even regarding them as if they were our own children. Who would be willing to give their child away? So it's impossible to get their help."
"Yes, I understand that too. So we've spoken with the clan chiefs and asked them to send their own people to follow you and try to make contact with the elemental spirits. As for whether the elemental spirits are willing to go with them in the end, that depends on their own abilities!"
"So I came here to ask you if this is feasible? If it is, when they bring people over later, we'll need you to appease the elemental spirits. If not, I'll refuse them when they arrive!"
Tao Ping nodded and said that he was not clear about the relationship between the Nuwa Clan and the elemental spirits, but he knew very well that the elemental spirits were difficult to subdue. Therefore, even though he had agreed to the clan leaders, he still needed to ask the Nuwa Clan for their opinions.
"This?" Upon hearing Tao Ping's words, Zi Xuan and the others looked troubled. To be honest, they did not want to let others take the elemental spirits away, but from the perspective of their territory, they knew that this was impossible.
"How about this, I'll go to another place and gather a group of elemental spirits. You can have people from all races come to me. How many they can bring back depends on their abilities. As for Zixuan and the others, just gather the elemental spirits according to the original plan and bring them back with our train convoy. What do you think?" Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhao Wu thought for a moment and then said.
Among the four, his strength improved the fastest and his vision was the broadest. He knew very well that this matter was entirely beneficial to the Primordial Star, and that if they wanted to leave this small world later, they would inevitably need the combined efforts of other races. Therefore, it was impossible for him to monopolize the elemental spirits; someone had to step forward.
"This? That's fine! They won't be coming in large numbers anyway. But the three of you should find a secluded spot so that other people won't be jealous!"
