Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 1016 Choice
Fang Ping's eyes lit up when he learned the true function of the spiritual essence. He had read many novels about cultivation in his previous life and understood very well how important it was to have a strong soul.

Improving all the potential of a warrior is no joke!
To give the simplest example, when an eighth-grade warrior is forging a golden body, ordinary warriors can only complete five forgings and have a certain chance of being promoted to a grandmaster.

If one can complete the sixth forging, then advancement to the ninth rank is a sure thing. Even a man of luck like Lao Zhang has only completed the seventh forging.

But Fang Ping completed the ninth forging and gained an additional qualitative change in his Qi and blood. Why was that?
It's because he has greater potential.

If someone says that it was because of the blood of Emperor Zhan Tian that he was able to complete his transformation, that is pure nonsense.

Wang Jinyang is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhan Tian. He absorbed more heart blood, but his golden body has not completed the ninth forging. A genius like Mo Wenjian also stopped at the eighth forging. This is not a problem of resources, but their potential is limited.

No matter how many opportunities or how great the adventures are, they must be carried out with sufficient potential.

A person's potential is like a bottle, and strength is the water inside. If your bottle is not big enough, no matter how much water you put in it, it won't fit in. Forcing water in will only cause the bottle to burst.

The spiritual essence that can enhance all the potential of a warrior is simply amazing. It can allow a warrior who could only forge seven levels of strength to complete the ninth level of forging, and allow a warrior whose strength stops at the level of Emperor to grow into a Saint or even a Heavenly King.

Fang Ping didn't know where his limits were, but no one would ever think his potential was too great.

A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Since the spiritual essence is so important, we must find a way to keep more of it.

Even the emperors don’t know the true function of the spiritual marrow, so others certainly don’t understand it either.

Those old antiques don't need to improve spiritual power, so they shouldn't be exchanged for much. If someone really exchanges too much, then we'll remember that person and find an opportunity to kill him after we disband. We can even disguise it as the emperor's revenge."

Fang Ping paused, then changed the subject, "However, since the spiritual essence is so useful and will benefit everyone, you can't just keep it all to yourself. You have to at least leave some for us..."

"Shut up!"

Fang Ping was interrupted by Zhang Tao before he could finish his words. Old Zhang said seriously, "Only by concentrating resources can we maximize their effectiveness. No matter how much spiritual essence is left, let Xiao Zhang use it first. Whatever he can't use, I'll give it to you. Whatever you can't use, you'll give to me and Senior Li."

We are not pursuing equalization now, but concentrating resources to cultivate a combat capability.

Only by cultivating a truly powerful person can we deter those ambitious people in the three realms."

Zhang Tao's tone was extremely firm, leaving no room for Fang Ping to refute.

He realized he had sounded too harsh, so he softened his tone and said, "Fang Ping! This isn't about favoritism, it's about the overall situation.

If your strength can surpass Xiao Zhang, I will also give you my full support.

Although our world seems to be prosperous now, it is actually still facing considerable crises.

Otherwise I wouldn't be planning to retreat.

Indeed, we have gained a lot this time, and our strength will become even stronger. I am even confident that I can become the strongest in a short time.

But our enemies are no longer those kings.

The situation is now more dangerous than before.

Because what we have to face is an emperor who can destroy an entire continent at any time.

Let me ask you this: if the emperor's true body descended into the mortal world right now, could we in the mortal world withstand it?"

Fang Ping opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

He knew that Zhang Tao's choice was correct. Although the emperors had compromised, they would never accept defeat and could counterattack at any time.

It may not be possible to gather so many kings again at that time.

Now is not the time to enjoy peace. We must concentrate all resources to cultivate a strong man who can compete with the emperor. Otherwise, no matter how many resources we get, we will not be able to keep them.

According to the current situation, Zhang Haoran is the best candidate for training, so resources must be used on him first.

Zhang Haoran felt Fang Ping's gaze and rolled his eyes. "Don't look at me! I'm not capable of fighting an emperor in a one-on-one duel right now. I can only hold him off for a while, and that's against an ordinary emperor.

Once the opponent's HP exceeds 90 million, then I can only gamble on how many times I can be resurrected."

Before, Zhang Haoran was able to fight against the Human Emperor head-on because everyone was holding him back, and the opponent couldn't distance himself. If the opponent had continued to use long-range attacks, he could only passively take the beating.

After all, he can only burst out 40 million energy and blood now.

Moreover, once the opponent's health exceeds 90 million, he can inflict crushing damage.

What is crushing damage?
No matter how you defend yourself, it will be useless. Once you are hit, your golden body will be destroyed.

This is because the immortal body after the upgrade is strong enough, otherwise, 80 million health and qi can cause crushing damage.

He glanced at Fang Ping, who was still a little unwilling, and chuckled, saying, "Haha! This time I'll be offering some very popular treasures for everyone to exchange, including the Emperor's Jade Bone.

In this way, they will have no points to exchange for spiritual essence.

Although I don't know how much I can refine, I think 70% will be enough. I'll give each of you 10% of the remaining.

After all, improving your strength is also very important. I can only stop one emperor at most, and you will have to deal with the other enemies."

When Fang Ping heard that he could get 10% of the spiritual essence, he suddenly felt less distressed. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must improve his strength as soon as possible!
If Fang Ping were the strongest now, resources would definitely be tilted towards him.

This time, even Zhang Tao did not raise any objections. If he could strengthen his soul, his potential would be greatly enhanced, and it would become easier for him to break through the Void Gate and become the strongest.

While it is important to cultivate a top-notch expert, the strength of others cannot be left behind either.

If the human race wants to become stronger, it cannot rely on Zhang Haoran alone, but must cultivate more powerful people.

King Zhentian also nodded. He felt that this was the best distribution plan, which could not only cultivate a strong man but also take care of everyone.

He stayed at the peak of Breakthrough Eight for a long time, and his foundation was deep enough, so advancing to Breakthrough Nine was not a problem at all, but it would be difficult to prove himself and become an emperor.

If he could strengthen his soul and enhance his overall potential, it would be of great benefit to him.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Haoran continued, "Don't worry, I will compensate you with items of equivalent value for everything I take away.

Besides, I have as much True Blood as I want. My Immortal Body has only been cultivated to the first level, and you have seen its defensive power. If I can cultivate to the second level, or even the third level...

Not to say it is invincible, but it is also difficult to kill.

Except for the top few emperors, basically no one can pose a threat to my life.

"Even a king at his peak, I can hold him off for a long time." His words exuded powerful confidence. An ordinary king's health is only around 80 million, and after being reduced by 30%, it's only around 50 million. He could easily handle such an attack.

As long as the enemy's health does not exceed 100 million, it is difficult to inflict crushing damage.

Of course, his current attack is too weak and cannot threaten the emperor. It is called a one-on-one duel, but in fact he can only delay the opponent.

Unless the opponent is out of his mind, willing to exchange injuries with him, and fight to the death, otherwise, it is unlikely that he will be able to kill the emperor.

Most swordsmen are strong in offense but weak in defense. Zhang Haoran is quite an exception. His defense is now much stronger than his attack.

However, this is only the current situation. Once he breaks through the third virtual door and his qi and blood are no longer restricted, the situation will change.

The Immortal Body is indeed very powerful, but the requirements for advancement are also very harsh. With the resources of this world, the Immortal Body can only be pushed to the third level at most, and no more is possible.

After all, this is a seventh-level technique. It is not easy to cultivate to the third level in a sixth-level world.

Zhang Haoran felt that it was inappropriate to ask for such a high price. Fang Ping's face was already showing a bitter look. He explained helplessly: "It is indeed a bit excessive to ask for all the real blood this time!

But there is nothing we can do about it.

My immortal body has very demanding requirements for resources. Apart from true blood, other natural treasures are completely useless.

Even if it is real blood, the effect will become smaller and smaller, so what I mean is, give the real blood to me to refine first, and when it can no longer be improved, I will return the rest to you. This is safer.

If I absorb them all by myself, I will use other treasures as compensation.

rest assured!

I still have a lot of good things in my hands, and I won’t let you suffer any loss.”

After he finished speaking, he asked Number Two to deliver the Human Emperor's heart to Fang Ping first, along with a sixth-level dragon blood fruit. Yes, a sixth-level one. The energy of a seventh-level one was too huge, and Fang Ping would definitely not be able to withstand it.

He looked at Fang Ping and said, "This is the compensation I promised you before. It may be a little short of the double I promised.

Can you make another request? Do you want rare treasures, or just something valuable?"

Fang Ping's wealth value system is very Buddhist. When calculating the wealth value, resources will not disappear, and anything of value can increase the wealth value, even paper money.

What he meant by asking this was, if you want rare treasures, then I will try my best to select those that you can use, but the quantity will not be too much.

If you want wealth points, then I'll give you a bunch of ordinary resources to make up the difference.

Speaking of ordinary resources, he thought of the massive amount of supplies he got from the Human Emperor.

So he looked at Zhang Tao and said, "Besides, I have a lot of resources here.

Energy fruits, medicinal herbs, pills, minerals... even the corpses of monsters and plants, all of various grades, and in huge quantities.

There are also a large number of standard equipment and a small number of magic weapons...

I also have some Imperial Dao talismans and top-grade elixirs, which I'll give to you later. These aren't compensation; they're my donations to the human race. If you have any other requests, feel free to ask."

He didn't have to distribute the resources he got from the Human Emperor, but he couldn't keep them all either. After all, there were some things he couldn't use and couldn't be sold for much value.

Zhang Tao said excitedly: "The number you mentioned is very large, how much is it exactly?

Are there really so many that it’s impossible to count them?”

Zhang Haoran pretended to be casual and said, "It's not that it's impossible to count, it's just too troublesome! Ordinary resources probably have hundreds of palaces. Resources above the level of True Gods also have several palaces!
Ah!
I will send you the list now.”

Zhang Tao was stunned just by hearing the rough numbers. When did all the resources have to be stored in the palace?

Moreover, the resources above those of a true god can actually accommodate several palaces. That would be so many good things!
He knew that these must be resources seized from the Human Emperor, but this was too much!

After Zhang Tao received the list, he was stunned for a long time. There were so many resources, and the lowest one was of seventh grade, which was enough to improve the strength of human beings by several levels.

After a long while, Zhang Tao finally recovered from his shock. He smiled bitterly and said, "You've given me so many resources at once, how can I have the nerve to make any requests?
Okay, once the distribution is complete, the remaining true blood will be yours. You don't need to make any further compensation. You've already given me everything I need."

After all, this is the emperor's collection, which is of very high quality and contains many treasures that Zhang Tao and his friends can use. He feels there is no need to make any additional requests.

King Zhentian also had no objection. He understood very well that only with strength can one have the right to speak. Now Zhang Haoran has the greatest potential and can quickly increase his strength by refining treasures. Only by boosting his strength can he gain more benefits in the future, so it is right to give him the true blood first.

He just asked for some life essence as a token of his appreciation. Anyway, he couldn't improve his strength before he advanced to the ninth level.

Strangely, Fang Ping didn't ask for any additional compensation this time. He just said that they would settle the bill after Zhang Haoran had made all his demands.

Zhang Tao smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm very pleased that you can take the initiative to express your needs!

If I were to continue like before, contributing all my resources without asking for anything in return, I would feel uneasy.

You have contributed enough to humanity, and now it is time for us to repay you.

This time, all our quotas can be given to you.

Even if some of the real blood was allocated to other people, I can find a way to get it back for you.

Tell me what else you need. How much Life Jade Liquid, Crystal Core, and Star Stone do you need?"

To be honest, after hearing what Zhang Tao said, Zhang Haoran was a little moved. He felt that he had gone a little too far. There were only five treasures in total, and he took up two of them by himself. However, Lao Zhang still took it all on his own and wanted to continue to meet his needs.

He steadied his mind, managed to calm down and said: "I don't need much of the Jade Liquid of Life, just give me a few dozen drops to forge the Jade Bones.

This time I can make amends with my life essence."

Anyway, without forging jade bones, the effect of life essence will not be much different.

The key point is that he had previously robbed a life lake, and there was plenty of life essence, so even double compensation would be no problem.

"I don't need the crystal cores, you can take most of them out for distribution. The world doesn't need tens of thousands of mineral veins anyway.

Besides, there are thousands of ready-made mineral veins in the outer regions that can be seized."

Fang Ping was quite surprised by this. He learned from No. 2 that Zhang Haoran attached great importance to the crystal core, second only to the spiritual marrow. Why did he suddenly say he didn't want it?
He asked doubtfully, "Are you serious? You don't want any of the crystal core? You only want a little bit of the Life Jade Liquid."
