Chapter 337: Taking Command

What is Xinghua?

After everyone around found out, they all shouted, their eyes almost shooting flames.

Xinghua is truly a treasure for warriors!

A king can break through, while a demon lord can reach the limits.

The next step beyond the limit is becoming a Half Sovereign!

A single Star Glow is equivalent to a significant leap forward.

Many of the demon lords present were envious because they were precisely the ones who needed Starlight to take this step forward.

Many kings are even more envious; they need Xing Hua to become the Star Lord!

Now there are not only demons here, but also humans.

Some of the Demon Lords had good relationships with humans, so they provided a more detailed introduction to the characteristics of the Star Blossom.

At first, there was silence all around, but soon it erupted into a loud, boiling cacophony.

“It takes ten thousand Star Spirit Stones to produce just one Star Essence. Such a low yield.”

“That’s great! As long as I can obtain one, I am certain I can become a Star Master!”

“Valued at 50 million spirit stones, how should this price be calculated?”

“Oh no, I regret it now. Why did I go to the Qin family for that test back then? I missed my chance, I really did. If I were Lu Yu’s warrior right now, obtaining the Star Blossom would have been so easy.”

Many people regret it, they never thought of being loyal to Lu Yu. Now, they realize they have missed out on far too much.

Nowadays, even though everyone knows that the price of Xinghua won’t be too cheap, they still look at it with shining eyes.

Lu Yu: Normal roads are too difficult. This shortcut can be cleared with just money. Who wouldn’t want that!

Qin Tian stammered with trembling lips, “No way, Lu Yu absolutely cannot monopolize the mine alone.”

Lu Yu now has more than 300 star masters under his command. Giving him this mine would push all of his subordinates to their absolute limits.

At this rate, how can the Qin family catch up!

The Supreme beside Qin Tian detected the unusual tone in Qin Tian’s voice and said in a deep voice: “When we came here, the King warned us not to provoke Lu Yu easily. Mr. Qin, I advise you not to act recklessly. With my strength, I won’t be able to protect you.”

“What, what?” Qin Tian stared at the Supreme beside him, his face turning awkward as he said, “That’s impossible, right? You are a Supreme with the power of four Sovereigns, while he Lu Yu has just become a Supreme not long ago?”

The Supreme One’s voice turned solemn: “He has even slain the Nine Sovereigns, and even the shadow of a King could not withstand him, let alone me.”

“But like this—” Qin Tian looked around, at one疯狂 face after another.

There is a lot of terror because many people also want to seize the mine, but no one dares to say it out loud.

Some offered one hundred million spiritual stones for a single piece of starlight essence, others brought forth materials to break through to the realm of Star Sovereign, and some even exchanged their demonic bodies.

Each person shouted out a different price, but all were treasures of considerable value.

As long as Lu Yu gives a nod, these resources will gather into his hands.

Qin Tian couldn’t stand it anymore; he genuinely wanted to seize everything in his grasp!

With Lu Yu’s strength, if he were to gather these resources as well, there would truly be no one left who could suppress him.

Facing the offers from these people, Lu Yu smiled calmly and said, “Everyone, the Star Essence hasn’t even been mined yet—you’re all too hasty. If you truly wish to obtain the Star Essence, then prepare whatever you believe is worth exchanging, and come back for the trade once it becomes available. Since everyone is here today, I’ll just take this opportunity to say this now.”

Lu Yu paused slightly, then coughed and said, “The method to ascend to a Star Lord—I don’t sell that to outsiders! However, I can offer grade-nine Star Soldiers. As for the price, we can sit down and discuss it.”

“What?”

Many demon lords were first taken aback, then quickly overwhelmed with joy.

“If Mr. Lu is really selling, we would definitely be interested in buying.”

Some demon lords exclaimed excitedly, “That’s great! What kind of star soldier does Mr. Lu plan to sell? Will it be traded with star spirit stones or through item exchanges?”

“As long as your star soldier’s attributes are good enough, price is not an issue.”

“Without saying anything else, I’ll reserve ten first.” Qian She was the one who knew Lu Yu’s strength best among these people.

Although he didn’t know what attributes the Star Soldiers given by Lu Yu to his subordinates had.

However, just by looking at the radiance and water ripples, the Star Soldiers are definitely not inferior!

“I’ll also reserve ten swords,” Canghai said, somehow emerging from the crowd at some point and giving Lu Yu a slight nod.

“We want twenty!” Yang also stood up.

As time passed, not only the Demon Lord arrived, but many Star Lords came as well.

The emergence of such a massive Star Spirit Mine has already spread throughout China.

Numerous demon lords began to speak, and even star masters voiced their intentions to reserve.

Everyone once again placed bids to acquire the Star Soldiers, and the prices drove Qin Tian crazy, making him wish the mine belonged to him, and that the Star Soldiers produced by Lu Yu were also his.

Qin Tian was envious, really wishing all of these could be his.

He just couldn’t understand how the Qin family, now backed by such powerful support, could still be suppressed by a single individual.

Qin Tian looked at the three Zunzhi beside him and said, “Esteemed Ones, could I trouble you to return and speak to my younger brother? Please ask him to send another batch of supplies to our Qin Family. Ideally, these should be top-grade Level 9 star weapons, along with some medicines that can help Kings to improve their cultivation.”

An Overlord glanced at Qin Tian. Upon hearing Qin Tian addressing their “King” in such a manner, his face immediately darkened. He coldly said, “Mr. Qin, we are here to assist you in developing your strength, not to support your tantrums. You know how star soldiers are cultivated and how star essence is obtained. If the King’s strength recovers even a tenth of its original power, he could accomplish the same feats. However, the King’s primary mission is to restore his own strength, not to serve the Qin family’s interests.”

Another Supreme Sovereign also spoke coldly: “Mr. Qin, instead of wasting your time throwing tantrums and showing off, you’d be better off cultivating. What the King left for the Qin family, once perfected, will make you invincible among all Sovereigns!”

The third Supreme also spoke, saying, “A major upheaval is about to come. Only strength matters. No matter how powerful a faction is, a group of useless people is just cannon fodder.”

The three Supreme Beings rebuked him together, which made Qin Tian feel somewhat humiliated.

Qin Tian’s face was somewhat distorted as he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stared coldly at Lu Yu. His gaze then swept over to Huo Wu as he said, “Just wait and see, one day I will surpass both of you!”

The conversation among the few people quickly…

Lu Yu saw countless people opening their mouths to order Grade 9 star weapons and slightly lifted the corner of his mouth. He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, even if I were to sell Grade 9 star weapons, there’s no way I could produce hundreds or even thousands at once to satisfy all of you, right?”

After Lu Yu spoke like that, everyone around fell silent, waiting for him to continue.

The Celestial Deity Organization, where Bai Yang is located, has conducted several transactions with Lu Yu and can be considered to have a fairly good relationship.

At this moment, Yang spoke up: “Then I wonder what form Mr. Lu is planning to use to sell it?”

Lu Yu said seriously, “Every month, I supply fifteen grade-nine star weapons to the outside world.”

“Hmph!”

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, Qin Tian couldn’t help but laugh from behind and said, “Only fifteen grade-nine star weapons? Mr. Lu, this number of yours is a bit too small, don’t you think?”

Qin Tian spoke up, and many people immediately nodded in agreement, saying, “Yeah, Mr. Lu, only fifteen swords—how should we decide who gets them? Whoever grabs one first, or whoever offers the highest price?”

Qin Tian puffed out his chest and said proudly, “My Qin family currently possesses a thousand grade-nine star spirit stones. As long as you all can provide me with grade-nine warrior souls, obtaining grade-nine star weapons won’t be difficult at all! I guarantee that we can supply one hundred grade-nine star weapons every month, continuously for an entire year!”

“Thousand Grade Nine Spirit Stones?”

Many demons, as well as quite a few humans, gasped in cold horror.

Grade-nine Star Spirit Stones are extremely rare; even if someone wanted to stockpile them, most people would be lucky to have a dozen or so at most.

The Qin family actually has thousands of pieces!

Many people immediately looked at the three Sovereigns beside Qin Tian, all of whom were drenched in cold sweat.

Just how much hidden power does that King of Hell truly possess!

Sending gifts had actually resulted in giving away thousands of Grade Nine Star Spirit Stones!

Qin Tian felt very proud and comfortable seeing so many eyes focused on him.

Moreover, he found it amusing to disrupt Lu Yu’s deals.

Selling fifteen Star Weapons in a month, who do you think you are acting so high and mighty?

Do you really think your stuff is so great that a lot of people will fight over it?

Lu Yu looked through the crowd toward Qin Tian and smiled. “The power of the Qin family truly surprises me. They actually possess a thousand grade-nine star spirit stones; even now, I only have a little over thirty,” he said.

Qin Tian, upon being praised by Lu Yu, smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, you’re joking. I simply feel that since you have the capability to supply hundreds of star weapons to your own subordinates, you shouldn’t be so stingy. Selling only fifteen star weapons a month makes everyone wait far too long.”

As Qin Tian spoke, many people around him nodded in agreement.

The Qin family’s rising power made Qin Tian feel that he had the right to speak.

The expressions of the three Sovereigns beside Qin Tian grew increasingly cold, and their gazes toward Qin Tian turned hostile.

“Mr. Qin is comparing your weapons with mine, and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Lu Yu said with a smile. “I only supply fifteen star-forged weapons each month. If anyone is interested, you can come to Fanggang on the first day of every month to trade with me. As for the first batch of fifteen, I will sell them five days from now. Those who are interested can come by.”

Lu Yu didn’t take Qin Tian’s suggestion seriously at all and continued to act as he pleased.

Qin Tian snorted coldly, said nothing more, and left with his men.

“When will Xinghua be put up for sale, Mr. Lu?” a demon lord asked, pointing at the mine.

“First, I need to extract it. However, the number of magic apes I have on my side is limited. If any of you have magic apes that you temporarily don’t need, you could sell them to me.”

Qian She immediately said, “Sell? What do you mean by ‘sell’? My mine has been completely exhausted. All three hundred and seventy-two demon apes are yours now.”

Baiyang also said, “My Celestial Deity Organization has a thousand idle魔猿s, and I’m giving them all to you.”

“Since that’s the case, we can start mining tonight. If we’re lucky, we can sell it together with the ninth-grade Star Soldier in five days.”

“Okay!”

Everyone was overjoyed.

This time, I was lucky.

At that time, it will be worth it even if it’s not for the ninth-level Star Soldier, just for a piece of Starlight!

The crowd gradually dispersed.

The Demon-Slaying Elder and the冥尊 also wanted to leave, but Lu Yu called them back.

“You’ve grown so quickly, young man. Even I can hardly keep up with you anymore,” laughed Ming Zun. “What do you want from us?”

Lu Yu respectfully bowed to Elder Zhanmo and Lord Mingzun, and earnestly said, “Senior masters, I understand that possessing this mine will inevitably bring many troubles. I would like to invite both of you to reside in Fanggang and ensure its safety. I can provide you with anything you may need—my only hope is that no one will come looking for trouble.”
