Chapter 100: After all, he is from Da Qian!
The afternoon’s Live Stream ended long ago during the tracking.
Following closely all the way, he didn’t lose track of them.
However, the closer he got, the more cautious Qi Xuan became.
After all, this time the opponent was different from before; even if he and Sunday cooperated tacitly, he could still fail on the spot if he wasn’t careful.
In order to avoid any accidents, it was necessary to increase his own safeguards.
Qi Xuan glanced at the big guy that was eating in the valley ahead, had Sunday take charge of monitoring, paying attention to the other party’s movements at all times, and reminding him in time if there were any problems.
Then he sat cross-legged to the side, quickly recovering the large amount of Spiritual Energy he had consumed before by taking a Spirit Recovery Pill, and opened the Lottery page.
He looked up at the upper right corner and saw 269B.
Subtracting the 89 he had saved up before, that is to say, this Live Stream only earned 180B.
Although it interrupted the trend of constantly reaching new highs, seeing this result, Qi Xuan inexplicably felt much more at ease.
There was no way, the string of two hundred plus was really too frightening, always giving him the illusion of floating in mid-air.
It seemed that something had happened recently, causing everyone to pay particular attention to his Live Stream.
Now things seemed to be passing, so the popularity value of the Live Stream gradually began to return to normal.
It might even continue to fall later.
But Qi Xuan didn’t care too much, after all, it was too normal for Popularity Points to rise and fall.
If a Streamer tried to create new highs every day, then retirement wouldn’t be far away—not only would the body not be able to hold up, but the spirit would also not be able to hold up.
He had to pay attention to long-term gains, so he couldn’t care too much about temporary gains and losses.
Having made his mental preparations, Qi Xuan didn’t delay too much and quickly started the Ten Draws.
The first round of Ten Draws drew eight Spiritual Items.
Excluding Spiritual Materials, Spiritual Grass, and other Spiritual Items that were temporarily useless, there were a total of four that were useful.
One Spirit Recovery Pill, one Green Wood Pill, one Warning Talisman, and one Lightness Talisman.
Spirit Recovery Pills and Green Wood Pills were old friends, items that Cultivators often kept on hand; it was no problem to accumulate more, and they might be able to be traded in the future, this thing could replace Spirit Stones and become a common currency in a certain sense.
As for the Warning Talisman, as the name suggested, it was a Talisman used for warning.
Although he now had 【Spiritual Sense】, which could predict most crises in advance, the range of perception was ultimately small, and he was relatively slow to react to crises that had not yet befallen him.
For example, if someone wanted to kill you, you had to be nearby to notice this malice, but with the Warning Talisman, someone carrying malice from a hundred feet away could give a warning in advance.
With a hundred feet of preparation time, he might be able to escape in time, thereby avoiding being ambushed.
As for the Lightness Talisman, as the name suggested, it was a Talisman used to reduce body weight and greatly increase the ability to leap and the speed of travel.
Although the Lightness Talisman couldn’t compare to the Swift Travel Talisman in terms of a large increase in speed, the improvement in leaping ability allowed him to easily cross mountains and steep slopes, and in this kind of complex terrain, it was actually faster than the Swift Travel Talisman.
It was also a very useful Talisman.
However, Qi Xuan still had a small regret; if he could draw a Wind Escape Talisman or a Flying Talisman, that would be great.
Wind Escape could travel far on the wind, not only at a very fast speed, but also similar to flying, with the soles of his feet almost not touching the ground.
As for the Flying Talisman, it could directly allow Qi Refining Stage Cultivators to fly, enjoying the privilege that only Foundation Stage Cultivators had.
Humans’ pursuit of flight was eternal.
“Alas, when I reach Foundation Stage, I can fly as I please, and no one will care if I fly around randomly!”
“At most, I can achieve my goal in a few months, no rush, take it slow, maybe I can even do it in advance.”
Recalling his drifting thoughts, Qi Xuan looked at the Lottery page, and then pulled the lever again.
This time, the Ten Draws drew seven Spiritual Items.
Although it was one less than the previous round, the quality was much higher.
Apart from three Spiritual Grass and Spiritual Materials that were temporarily useless, the remaining four were all good things.
First to appear was the Giant Strength Pill.
The powerful Pill that could allow him to fight evenly with the Four-Armed Humanoid before using Silver Steel Grass to strengthen himself.
If he took another one now, it would definitely bring a corresponding increase to his strength.
Although the increase effect was far less than it was back then, it could also be considered an increase in strength.
The second one was also an old friend, the Earth Trap Talisman.
Its most famous achievement was trapping a Second Rank Peak Serrated Tyrant Yuan.
But its more famous achievement should have saved his life.
If it weren’t for the Heaven-Seizing Hand Ring, he would have died in the Spiritual Energy shock long ago.
As for the third one, it was a Detection Talisman.
This was a new Talisman, and also a very useful Talisman.
After use, it could detect the detailed situation within a certain range ahead and project it into his own perception.
Even if there were Ferocious beasts or other Cultivators hidden inside, unless the level was too high, or if they used corresponding concealment items, they would also be detected.
Basically, when going to some unfamiliar environments and dangerous areas, the Detection Talisman was essential, and it could predict the dangers inside in advance to the greatest extent.
The last one was also the biggest harvest of the day.
He drew an Experience Card again.
This Experience Card was called 【Evasive Steps Experience Card】.
Although Evasive Steps looked a bit contradictory to Space-Splitting Leg, it was actually not the case.
Space-Splitting Leg focused on killing attacks, while Evasive Steps belonged to the category of movement techniques.
Using Evasive Steps, he could not only become more flexible in battle, but also make various attacks more difficult to defend against.
Even when escaping, it was no longer as straightforward as before, making it easy to be caught up.
If he practiced Evasive Steps well, even without Sunday’s help, he could easily avoid the pursuit of a Second Rank Peak.
Even for a Third Rank, he could hold on for a while in front of the other party.
Situations like being chased all over the place by the Six-Clawed Black Serpent, unable to shake it off, would no longer appear in the future.
This once again made up for a shortcoming on his body.
Congratulations.
It was truly congratulations.
The Lottery ended, and looking at the remaining 69B in the upper right corner, Qi Xuan’s mood was somewhat uplifted.
He had already drawn ninety times, only ten draws away from the one hundred draws guaranteed!
Tomorrow!
At the latest, it would be tomorrow!
He would get the guaranteed Bronze Pool, a Second-Grade Spiritual Item!
“I hope to get a good thing that I’m satisfied with.”
Qi Xuan temporarily suppressed his slightly excited mood and looked inward at his own Realm.
It would take at most two days to step into Qi Refining Stage 4, and he would soon get the fourth transformation after 【Yuan Core】.
Good news came one after another.
Qi Xuan happily closed the page and began to focus his attention on the matters at hand.
Now that the Lottery was over, and all the rewards had been received, it was almost time to deal with that Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon.
The other party’s rank was extremely high, at least Third Rank at its peak, a powerful Demon Beast of at least Qi Refining Stage 7.
And the reason why he could successfully avoid the other party’s attack, besides 【Spiritual Sense】 being effective, the most crucial thing was that the other party was seriously injured.
It seemed that the last time he avoided the Sun Collapse, it was not without a price.
Now, being eager to hunt everywhere, he was probably also accelerating the healing process through eating.
If he missed this opportunity, it would probably be difficult to retaliate in a short period of time.
Once the other party recovered to its peak strength, then it would probably be a tough fight, and the danger would be even higher.
Fortunately, he didn’t lack trump cards.
He got up and glanced at the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon that was still devouring the Red-Haired Square-Eared Bear in the distance, and he began to select materials from his Personal Space.
Many of the Spiritual Materials drawn from the system were used for Refining, such as minerals, materials from Demon Beasts, and even various special materials.
Because he didn’t know Refining techniques, and didn’t master any Refining secret manuals, many of the materials he drew were also fragmented, and even if he wanted to refine, he might not be able to gather them all.
But the long history of Refining had always been derived from the simplest methods.
“I don’t know how to refine, can’t I assemble?”
He took out a curved horn of a Silver-Whiskered Single-Horned Rhinoceros, and then took out a large tendon produced from a fish dragon, as well as highly adhesive insect grass flower liquid and other materials, and placed them in front of him.
That’s right, he was going to make a bow.
A strong bow that could pierce the Golden-Eyed Winged Dragon!
……
Island, Joint Camp.
Today was the agreed-upon return time.
The medical point began to successively receive the Exploration Team members who came out of the island.
Although the Exploration Team members who successfully came out were either exhausted or looked miserable, they still had quite a few gains.
Unfamiliar grass plants, minerals, scale armor fragments, corpse specimens, living Creatures… even Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Medicines, etc., were all not uncommon.
The Joint Camp became unprecedentedly noisy, and the representatives of Various countries were all chattering and extremely excited.
“Spiritual Fruit! This is a Spiritual Fruit that has never been seen before!”
Looking at the three black fruits that were constantly shining with starlight in the glass box, the representative from Canada was extremely excited.
The other representatives from Various countries around, although envious, didn’t say anything.
Because this was a very unfamiliar fruit, Qi Xuan had never introduced it, and it was hard to say what effect it had.
Perhaps it was just three ordinary fruits with a relatively special appearance, after all, according to the Canadian team members, they were accidentally picked in the grass under the rocks.
But even if it didn’t have particularly outstanding medicinal effects, just its unique existence was enough to make people envious.
Especially those countries whose Exploration Teams were completely wiped out and had already been eliminated, now, let alone a strange flower, even a Ferocious beast carcass was enough to make them envious.
This treasure island, only they had paid a huge price, but had no gains.
Yet, the team members of other countries came back successfully with their gains.
Not fearing poverty but fearing inequality, how could this not make people envious?
But soon they couldn’t be envious anymore.
As one Exploration Team after another came out of the island, the various gains simply made the representatives present unable to take their eyes off them.
There were ferocious Insects that were making crashing sounds in the sealed boxes.
There were long-legged spiders with dark purple bodies lazily lying in the glass boxes.
There were black spindle-shaped carapaces that could only be lifted by six or seven team members together.
There were dried flowers, minerals, and corpse remains sealed in specimen bags.
There were soil, viscous liquid, and special juice in containers.
……
And so on and so forth.
However, as the Exploration Team of Big Mao and his group came out one after another, the scene immediately ushered in another wave of climax.
Before the people arrived, the stench arrived first, and many representatives all covered their mouths and noses, and those with relatively poor tolerance vomited on the spot, and even fainted from the stench.
The medical staff around them quickly came forward to provide treatment.
The Big Mao team members who could still walk all had pale faces.
The smell of Stinky Feather Mushrooms would constantly volatilize with time, but they had already been marinated, and it was difficult to completely get rid of that smell in a short period of time.
Even if they had temporarily gotten used to it, their bodies would still constantly feel uncomfortable.
Just this kind of discomfort caused half of them to fall down again on the way back, and those who could still walk now were all tough guys who had been naturally screened.
“This is the Silver-Winged Wasp Honey we picked!”
Handing over a bottle that was barely filled with a 500ml special glass bottle, and putting down some other gains, the Big Mao team members were all taken away for treatment and deodorization.
It wasn’t until they left that the representatives of Various countries, with miserable expressions, hurried over.
Facing the Big Mao representative, who was flushed with the honey, everyone couldn’t help but speak:
“Mikhail, my good brother, do you remember the days when we skied together? Now, good brother needs your help, 10ml! I only want 10ml, you can name your price!”
“300ml! We will lift the economic sanctions against you!”
“250ml! We will unlock your crude oil price ceiling and resume imports!”
“200ml! We will release your frozen foreign exchange assets!”
“My friend, I only want 20ml! Gold, crude oil, name your price!”
……
Watching the representatives scrambling for the Silver-Winged Wasp Honey with red faces and thick necks, Liu Wang couldn’t help but shake his head secretly.
These people could now offer sky-high prices for a few hundred milliliters of honey, they seemed to have completely forgotten how much honey Qi Xuan had eaten at the time.
The amount wasted on the ground by Sunday alone was probably more than one or two liters, right?
However, the conditions offered by Various countries seemed generous, but many of them were also deceiving.
For example, lifting economic sanctions, lifting them today and sanctioning them again in a week, this was not something that couldn’t be done.
In the end, he still had to keep a few eyes open.
As he was thinking, a group of Da Qian team members also walked out of the forest one after another, bringing out a lot of things.
Seeing this, the representatives of Various countries who were still surrounding the Big Mao representative, except for a few who were still pestering, all swarmed over.
Compared to other countries, the Da Qian side had more team members, and there were also many trophies brought out.
In addition to various minerals, plants, and even Ferocious beast remains, everyone’s eyes quickly fell on those perfectly sealed Silver Steel Grass.
Silver Steel Grass!
Seeing those more than ten Silver Steel Grass, Qi Xuan’s introduction couldn’t help but echo in everyone’s minds:
“This medicinal herb is called Silver Steel Grass, it is a precious medicine that can be used to temper the Physique and increase body strength. Ordinary people only need to take a little bit, and splitting Blue Bricks with their hands is no problem. If they take it for a long time, they can be invulnerable to swords and guns, and it may even be difficult for bullets to penetrate their bodies.”
Qi Xuan ate twenty or thirty plants back then, and as a result, he could become so strong, and he dared to go up and fight directly against many violent Ferocious beasts later.
Although there was the bonus of Martial Arts, and also the bonus of his original extraordinary Physique, but who dared to deny the effect of Silver Steel Grass?
One Silver Steel Grass might be able to turn an ordinary person into a super soldier, and from then on, step into the extraordinary.
Who could resist such temptation?!
Let alone those ordinary people, even the country representatives who had experienced great storms and waves, at this moment, all wanted to pounce on them and take a bite.
A group of people hurriedly crowded forward and began to bid:
“Ten plants! I can report to the president to revoke the trade sanctions against you!”
“Eight plants! We will reduce the import tariffs on your domestic cars.”
“Five plants! As the injured party, we will no longer pursue your assistance to Big Mao on the battlefield.”
“Three plants! We allow you to import the second-tier top lithography machine.”
“Big Brother, do you sell this Silver Steel Grass? The price is negotiable!”
……
The surroundings were noisy and clamoring, and Liu Wang responded appropriately, leaving no loopholes to exploit.
Just as he was haggling with a group of representatives, he saw a team of Lighthouse soldiers walking out of the forest.
But what was surprising was that they only carried a small amount of specimens and supplies, and most of them were carrying various messy materials.
There were Stone Axes, there was rattan armor, there were Wooden Spears, there were Round Wooden Stumps… and even a few Smoked meat chunks, which made everyone present stunned.
“You… have you discovered a Native camp inside?”
The Lighthouse representative frowned and asked.
If these guys dared to say no, he would have to let the other party see the anger of the country’s representative.
The leading soldier put down the Round Wooden Stump that had been polished in his hand and grinned:
“Respected representative, these are not ordinary Native creations, they are all things we found from the wooden cabin left by Qi Xuan.”
Wooden cabin?
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this.
Qi Xuan did indeed build a wooden cabin on the Floating Continent to avoid the torrential rain and floods.
Could it be that his house fell down with the continent fragments?
As everyone was suspicious, they saw the soldier playing the video taken with him.
Seeing the very familiar wooden cabin in the video, seeing a group of soldiers rummaging through it for many living materials, everyone also reacted.
It seemed that these things were indeed the supplies left by Qi Xuan.
But what was the use of taking these things out?
What research value could this have?
“One Silver Steel Grass!”
While the Lighthouse representative was full of doubts, Liu Wang next to him suddenly spoke:
“We are willing to trade these daily necessities of Qi Xuan for one Silver Steel Grass.”
Hearing this, the Lighthouse representative was even more suspicious:
“Liu, you should know that these are just very ordinary items.”
“Of course I know,”
Liu Wang said in a deep voice:
“But Qi Xuan is, after all, a person from our Da Qian. Now that we have discovered the things he left behind, even if they don’t have any value, we must take them back, and it’s worth paying a little price for this.”
Hearing this, the representatives around couldn’t help but show expressions of emotion.
Indeed, if someone from their country could also make a huge contribution to the world and strongly influence the trend of the entire world, then his personal belongings certainly couldn’t be left outside, and they had to be properly preserved.
Thinking through the key points, the Lighthouse representative’s eyes turned slightly, and he spoke in an official tone:
“Although I admire your intention to protect Qi Xuan, what he has benefited is not only your country, but the entire world!
So these items he left behind are also full of commemorative significance for us Lighthouse.
And maybe we can study the reason why Qi Xuan is so powerful from these things.
The value of these things is far more than one Silver Steel Grass.”
Liu Wang frowned slightly as he listened:
“Two plants!”
“This is the highest price I can offer.”
“If you really don’t want to trade, then I can’t do anything, after all, we have already tried our best.”
After some bargaining, they finally traded two Silver Steel Grass for half of the remains plus the right to protect and excavate the subsequent wooden cabin.
Both sides were happy.
When the last member of the Exploration Team walked out of the forest, after inventorying the many materials that had flowed out this time, Various countries immediately showed a very strong demand for trading.
In the final analysis, in addition to precious treasures that everyone could use, such as Silver Steel Grass and Silver-Winged Wasp Honey, the things collected by the Exploration Teams of many countries were not necessarily what they needed, but rather, it was better to take them out and trade with other countries, or to exchange for visible benefits.
Moreover, the various intelligence gathered on the island also needed to be exchanged accordingly, and some of it could even be sold—after all, unlike Qi Xuan’s widespread dissemination of various types of intelligence, much of their intelligence was exchanged for human lives, and it was only natural that they would ask others to pay this price.
Because of these needs, Various countries held an internal trade fair.
But outside the internal trade fair, they also released a part of the things to be auctioned.
There was actually a very important reason for the auction.
Many countries adopted a democratic system, and the various affairs of the country needed to cater to the wishes of the people.
Before this, although many people supported the exploration of the island, there were also many opponents within the countries.
If they successfully discovered a large number of rare resources from the island, that would be fine, and they could completely suppress those opponents so that they wouldn’t dare to say anything.
The problem was that many countries had suffered huge losses in the island exploration, but the trophies they brought out were pitifully few.
This would inevitably make those opponents’ voices grow louder, and they would even be fiercely attacked by their political enemies in the political arena.
If they were not careful, the political situation would be turbulent, and it was not impossible for the current leaders to be ousted.
Therefore, they had to prove that this exploration of the island was extremely successful and that the gains were huge.
Then auctioning the items discovered from the island became a very common method.
Although most of the things that flowed into the auction were relatively ordinary, with the two identities of being produced on the island and being unique, they would still attract the pursuit of many Rich men and even collectors, and it was obvious that they would be sold at a high price, and at the very least, they could give an explanation to the country.
In addition, some countries were also for making money with those things.
If they didn’t make money now, the next time the Exploration Team went in and mined more, the things would be worthless.
As for countries like Da Qian and Lighthouse, it was also necessary to take out some things to add color to the auction, on the one hand, to show their own gains, and on the other hand, it was also a hidden competition.
And when the news of the auction was released from the official channels of Various countries, the whole world was instantly in an uproar.
While countless people were discussing it, a giant beast, whose whole body was covered with pale golden, fine Scale armor, quietly sneaked into the Pacific Ocean along the underground river at the bottom of the island.
