Chapter 1230: Caught a Big Fish

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Caught a Big Fish

One hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones equal one million middle rank Essence Stones or ten million low rank Essence Stones. To any Martial Artist, this is not a small sum.

Ying Guangping’s demand for Fang Bai to produce such an enormous amount of cultivation resources made many onlookers feel that he essentially didn’t want to leave Fang Bai any way out.

"Elder Ying, one hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones is really too many. Brother Fang is just an Individual Cultivation Martial Artist, how could he produce such an amount?"

Elder Yan couldn’t help but interject.

Ying Guangping glared at Elder Yan, and said viciously, "Is this any of your business? Go away!"

"You..."

Elder Yan’s face turned bright red, his lips quivered as he wanted to retort, but he was concerned about infuriating Ying Guangping, which could lead to a fatal disaster and even implicate his Sect. So he had to swallow his anger.

"If I can produce one hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones, will you spare my life? Do you keep your word?"

Fang Bai asked somewhat excitedly.

"Of course I do. When Ying Guangping says something, it carries the weight of nine cauldrons!"

Ying Guangping, holding back an excitement even greater than Fang Bai’s, patted his chest and said.

From the expression and tone of Fang Bai’s words, Ying Guangping knew that Fang Bai could easily come up with one hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones, which also confirmed Ying Guangping’s previous speculation that this young man indeed had a great fortune before.

Ying Guangping was overjoyed to the point of ecstasy. In his impulse, he almost immediately resorted to drastic measures on Fang Bai to force out the whereabouts of his cultivation resources.

Ying Guangping had observed carefully and noticed that Fang Bai only wore a single Space Ring on his finger, and even a high-quality Spatial Ring wouldn’t be able to accommodate one hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones.

That is to say, the cultivation resources Fang Bai had were not all on his person, and a significant part was likely hidden in some secret location.

Therefore, by controlling Fang Bai, he could obtain those cultivation resources.

Disciples of Tianji Sect around traded glances, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

They had originally intended to blackmail the Martial Artists on the ship for some cultivation resources but had unexpectedly caught a big fish.

Those Tianji Sect disciples, who had followed Ying Guangping for many years, thought that they would gain huge benefits this time. Steward Ying would definitely keep a large share, and they themselves could also bask in some glory, which would be a great joy for everyone.

"I only have tens of thousands of high rank Essence Stones on me; the other several hundred thousand are all hidden in a cave on Tiansheng Continent and can’t be given to you right now..."

Fang Bai shrugged his shoulders as he spoke to Ying Guangping.

When Ying Guangping heard "several hundred thousand high rank Essence Stones," he was so excited that he almost leaped for joy, but soon he calmed down and stared intently at Fang Bai, threateningly saying, "If you dare to lie to me, I’ll make it so that you can’t live and can’t die!"

Fang Bai put on a frightened look, with a pained expression, "I am very afraid of death. And right now, my life is entirely in your hands. If I lied, wouldn’t I be courting death?"

Ying Guangping nodded, thinking that Fang Bai’s words were quite reasonable. Although this youngster’s strength might not be weaker than his own, facing the enclosure of dozens of Tianji Sect disciples, including himself, thinking of escaping was like a fool’s dream. Unless he was fearless of life and death, he could only be obedient in front of Ying Guangping.

Even ants will fight for their lives; how much more so for a young martial artist like Fang Bai with a bright future ahead of him?

So Ying Guangping firmly believed that Fang Bai would not joke about his own life, and would definitely tell the truth without dare hiding anything.

"You have some sense of self-awareness!"

Ying Guangping huffed and then said: "Tell me the exact location of that cave. Once I find the cultivation resources and come back, I’ll spare your life!"

Fang Bai shook his head and said: "That cave was left by an Innate Expert as a training ground, and is shrouded by a Concealment Formation, very secretive. Unless I lead you there, you will never find it!"

As soon as Fang Bai said this, there was a stir among the martial artists present, and all eyes were focused on Fang Bai, their hearts aflame with excitement.

Especially the group of Tianji Sect disciples, who were beaming and almost jumping for joy.

Ying Guangping was also excited, his hands clenched into fists within his sleeves, and his body was trembling involuntarily.

Innate Experts are beings that ordinary martial artists can hardly reach; mysterious and powerful, they are recognized as the top experts in the True Martial Realm and almost all martial artists regard them as role models and goals on the path of Martial Dao.

However, Innate Experts usually indulge in Martial Dao, often immersed in secluded and treasured places for cultivation, rarely walk in the world, and are as elusive as a Divine Dragon.

The strength of an Innate Martial Artist is so great that even Universe Level Experts are left in the dust; the cultivation resources and Martial Arts Techniques they have saved up are inevitably the highest rank in the world.

Fang Bai personally admitted that he had found a training ground left by an Innate Martial Artist, which meant he might have obtained not just high-quality Essence Stones but perhaps also high-rank elixirs, spiritual artifacts, or even Innate Techniques.

In short, the cultivation resources and Martial Arts Techniques left by an Innate Expert are the coveted treasures of every martial artist’s dreams, and if Fang Bai’s finds could be claimed for oneself, and used for cultivation, one might one day step into the Innate Realm as well.

The more Ying Guangping thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could immediately grow wings, fly with Fang Bai across the Myriad Miles Purgatory Sea, and obtain the relics of the Innate Martial Artist mentioned by Fang Bai in the Tiansheng Continent.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will take some Tianji Sect disciples to Shenwu Continent. You will come with us!"

Ying Guangping thought that the sooner he got his hands on those cultivation resources and techniques left by the Innate Martial Artists, the better, lest the night would bring more dreams, and thus, without much consideration, made this decision.

"Tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit too hasty? I’ve been on a sea voyage for several months, and after such a long journey, now that I’ve arrived at Shenwu Continent, shouldn’t I rest for three to five days before we go again?"

Fang Bai looked displeased, muttering under his breath.

Ying Guangping sneered and said: "Cut the crap! It’s not up to you now! I know you’re strong, but on your own, you can’t fight against us. If we want to kill you, it would be as easy as flipping a hand! Stay here obediently tonight, and if there’s any movement, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

To prevent Fang Bai from seizing an opportunity to escape, Ying Guangping dared not to be careless and immediately commanded a few dozen Tianji Sect disciples to surround Fang Bai. He also sat down cross-legged on a large stone not far away, planning to guard like this until tomorrow and then take Fang Bai and some Tianji Sect disciples to board the ship to Shenwu Continent.

"Fine, I’ll accompany you back to Tiansheng Continent! But Elder Yan and the martial artists on the ship are my friends, and you cannot trouble them anymore!"

Fang Bai pretended to be very conflicted, pondered for a moment, then laid out his conditions.

"Enough! This has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Ying Guangping waved his hand impatiently, signaling Elder Yan and the other martial artists that they could leave on their own; he neither demanded a docking fee, nor did he try to extort cultivation resources from other martial artists for the disturbance caused to the Silverwing Hawk.
