Chapter 626

As soon as Old Tortoise finished speaking, before Zi Chen could answer, the void behind him broke open. A giant hand made of energy appeared, grabbed Zi Chen, and pulled him in.

When Tyrant and the others saw Zi Chen being pulled away by the mysterious hand without any resistance, their expressions changed and they wanted to destroy the hand. Fortunately, Zi Chen stopped them in time.

When Zi Chen reappeared, he was already hundreds of thousands of miles away. He saw Old Tortoise first and then the five old men.

Compared to Old Tortoise, the five of them were obviously older.

"Little friend Zi Chen, you're here."

When the five old men saw Zi Chen, they all smiled kindly and greeted Zi Chen as if they were very familiar with him.

Zi Chen obviously did not know these five strangers, but he nodded kindly. He then looked at Old Tortoise and asked, "Senior, are they your friends?"

"They are the Patriarchs of an overlord force," Old Tortoise said with a smile.

"What?"

Zi Chen was obviously shocked when he heard this. He almost bit his tongue and turned his head mechanically, his gaze once again landing on the five people.

"Patriarchs of an overlord force? Doesn't that mean these five people are existences beyond the Inner Core Realm?" Zi Chen's eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief.

The five of them were slightly annoyed after being humiliated by Old Tortoise. Now, they were satisfied with Zi Chen's shocked expression.

At this moment, Old Tortoise's voice sounded again. "Oh right, they want to buy some ancient beast items from you. I called you here to discuss the price and see if there's anything to talk about."

Zi Chen was stunned, but the five of them were dumbfounded.

When they first arrived, they put on a posture of wanting to negotiate, but the other party almost summoned their true forms to fight them. They thought that the other party could not understand the euphemism of humans, so they took a step back and gave in first. Then, they talked about Zi Chen's establishment of a force.

Previously, they had already agreed that they would look for Zi Chen to discuss this matter. At the same time, they hinted that Zi Chen had once snatched their tribe's younger generation's harvest from the ancient battlefield. Their purpose of saying this was naturally to get Zi Chen to take the initiative to offer compensation.

Now that Zi Chen was here, the other party said that they wanted to buy it.

At this moment, they finally realized that it wasn't that the other party couldn't understand tactful human language, but that he didn't want them to take advantage of him, not even a little bit.

While Zi Chen was still in a daze, Old Tortoise had already told Zi Chen everything through telepathy. Finally, Old Tortoise said, "I'm here. You can negotiate freely."

Hearing this, Zi Chen had a rough idea of what to do, and he was extremely excited. Evidently, he had passed the test of becoming an Overlord, and no one would stop or interfere with his establishment of a faction. Moreover, even if a battle were to occur, it would be a battle within a controllable range.

Zi Chen forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, but there was no change in the expression on his face. He was still in a daze. Soon after, he frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't have many things from ancient beasts. I don't want to sell them yet."

When the five Great Ancestors heard this, they were completely dumbfounded.

Well, we haven't even said that we want to buy it, but you're already saying that you don't want to sell it. Moreover, you said that you don't have many things from ancient beasts? Who would believe that? This was because they had already heard from Shangguan Bingxi that Zi Chen's harvest this time far exceeded the total harvest of their Overlord Forces in the past ten thousand years.

"No, I really can't sell it. I can't sell it." Zi Chen shook his head repeatedly.

"You can't sell it at all? We heard from Bingxi that you obtained a lot from the ancient battlefield this time. Selling a little shouldn't be a problem, right?" One of the Great Ancestors subconsciously followed Zi Chen's words.

As soon as he said that, he was already regretting it. Saying that would mean that he was admitting that he wanted to buy these things.

Sure enough, the other four looked at him with reproachful gazes.

However, when Zi Chen heard that, he still shook his head and said, "No, I really can't sell it. This time, I let a group of subordinates be baptized with ancient beast essence blood and eat ancient beast meat every day. There's not much left. At most, it's enough for them to be baptized three or four times."

When the five Great Ancestors heard that, they were speechless. They wondered how many ancient beasts he had gotten. A group of subordinates had already been baptized, and the remaining was enough for a group of people to be baptized three or four times.

"Well, they're subordinates after all. There's no need for them to be baptized once. Besides, they came with sincerity, didn't they?" The old man suddenly said.

This time, the five of them did not say anything. As Great Ancestors, it was really embarrassing to ask a junior to buy ancient beast essence blood. Moreover, the blood essence blood was useless to them.

They had only come with two goals. One was to see the old man's strength, and the other was to get compensation from Zi Chen. However, the first goal had been achieved, far exceeding their expectations. The second goal seemed to be hopeless.

"However, I really don't have much ancient beast essence blood that surpasses the level of Inner Core. At most, there's only 655 drops," Zi Chen said again.

When he finished speaking, Zi Chen clearly felt the atmosphere change instantly. The five Great Ancestors' previously indifferent and displeased eyes also became fervent in the next instant.

"Young friend Zi Chen, what did you say just now? You have ancient beast essence blood that surpasses the level of Inner Core?" one of them asked, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice.

Zi Chen nodded, and asked in return, "That's right. Could it be that what you want to buy is not this kind of ancient beast essence blood? Could it be that it's ordinary?"

"No, of course not. We want ancient beast essence blood that surpasses the level of Inner Core," the five Great Ancestors said anxiously.

The essence blood of ancient beasts that surpassed Jindan essence was very useful to them. Of course, this use was not in the form of a wasteful baptism. Instead, it was to refine the enormous essence Qi bit by bit. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to improve further.

This was an opportunity, an opportunity that they were also interested in. Naturally, they could not miss it, so they all looked at Zi Chen eagerly.

However, Zi Chen shook his head again, and said, "But I've said before that this thing cannot be sold. It's used for baptism. Moreover, I only have about 655 drops."

"Baptism."

Hearing Zi Chen's words, one of the Great Ancestors was immediately enraged, appearing extremely agitated. He said to Zi Chen, "You're using this kind of essence blood for baptism. Such a waste. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Is it a waste? I don't think so. It can improve one's physique," Zi Chen said innocently.

"Ah, you little brat, you're really infuriating me. How much can it improve your physique? It's just a waste for you to use it. This thing can only display its full effect in the hands of people of our level."

The Great Ancestor seemed to be very agitated. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to reprimand Zi Chen, but he was pulled by the person next to him. When the person followed the Great Ancestor's gaze and saw the Great Ancestor's cold expression, the Great Ancestor smiled awkwardly and said, "You're too agitated."

"Young friend, it's really a waste for you to use this thing for baptism. It contains unimaginable essence. I'm afraid you won't even be able to absorb 65% of the essence. More than 45% of the essence will be lost. In that case, it's better to use the essence blood of an ordinary ancient beast's descendant for baptism. It's better to give this thing to someone who can use it."

Another Great Ancestor expressed his thoughts in a kind way. Of course, this did not exclude the fact that he was secretly cursing Zi Chen for being a wastrel.

Zi Chen seemed to be moved by the Great Ancestor's words and fell into silence.

The five of them looked at him anxiously.

However, no one knew that at this moment, Zi Chen was communicating with the Old Tortoise telepathically.

"Senior, if you sell this essence blood to them, won't their strength suddenly increase by leaps and bounds? Once they break through, it will be over for them if they come looking for trouble with us again."

"Haha, you can rest assured about this. Although this essence blood is very useful to them, if you control the amount, you don't have to worry about them breaking through at all. However, it's also very normal for their strength to increase a little."

"Then how many drops should I give them?"

"It doesn't matter. If you don't have something you urgently need, give them 65 drops each. If you do have something you urgently need, give them 75 drops."

"I'm in urgent need of high-quality formation materials, and I need a lot of them. In the entire Barbarian Land and the Fringe, I'm afraid they're the only ones who can provide it."

"Then give them 75 drops in exchange for formation materials."

Seeing that Zi Chen was silent for a long time, the five Great Ancestors also anxiously asked, "Young friend, what do you think?"

Zi Chen was still hesitant. After a while, he said, "I can agree to this, but I have conditions."

"Speak."

"I want to establish a force in the periphery. If you don't agree, feel free to send your troops. We'll accept. But the condition is that you're not allowed to send late Primal Core experts, because they're too much stronger than I am."

When the five Great Ancestors heard this, their old faces showed a rare look of guilt. Their Mid Primal Core experts could only be compared to a late Zephyr Realm expert.

The five Great Ancestors nodded, indicating that they had no problem.

"There's one more condition."

"Speak."

"I don't want to sell this ancient beast essence blood."

The five Great Ancestors immediately frowned, but Zi Chen quickly added, "But I can trade."

"Trade."

"That's right, I need some materials. You'll be in charge of providing them. I'll give you as many as you can, a total of 655 drops."

When the five Great Ancestors heard this, their faces lit up with joy. In the entire Fringe, who would dare to say that they had more materials than them?

"Wait here, I'll go get the list."

As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, the void behind him split open and Zi Chen stepped into it.

When Zi Chen reappeared, Tyrant and the others asked curiously, "What are you doing? What's with that big hand?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. Elder Hiroshi, what materials do you need? Hurry up and write it down. The more detailed the better," said Zi Chen excitedly.

"What? You have a way to find the materials?" Everyone looked at Zi Chen.

"Of course. Elder Hiroshi, hurry up and write," urged Zi Chen.

Then, he looked at the others and suppressed the joy in his heart, saying, "We'll go back and think of a name for our force later."

Elder Hiroshi quickly wrote down the list. Then, Wang Qiong used his yuan energy to make five copies. Zi Chen took the list and left.

When the five Great Ancestors received the list, they frowned slightly.

"Why? Is there a problem?" asked Zi Chen nervously.

"Although many of them are uncommon, it's not a big problem."

When Zi Chen heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

After receiving the same list of items, their former allies became competitors in the next moment. They prepared to go back and gather the materials as quickly as possible.

But before they left, the Shangguan Clan's Ancestor suddenly asked, "Little friend Zi Chen, how did you get the ancient beast essence blood that surpasses Dan yuan?"

"Senior, you killed an existence of the same level while being surrounded by four experts of the same level. Why? Didn't Bing Xi tell you?"
