Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1092 My friend Gangxin isn't married yet, is he?
"The materials will be sent to Li Ling to purchase. In the Silver Heart Great World, it's not uncommon for first-tier purple weapons to advance to the next tier. Although the relevant materials are scarce, they can still be bought."

Bai Pu now has considerable wealth thanks to the income from Refining Divine Liquid and True Meaning Videos.

The Heavenly Court organization already has tens of thousands of spirit crystals in its inventory. In any case, whenever there is an opportunity, Bai Pu will have the Heavenly Court evolvers exchange silver dragon coins for spirit crystals, and he never misses the opportunity to exchange spirit energy points for silver dragon coins.

Chi Li said, "There's another problem. After activating the weapon spirit, a test of the weapon spirit recognizing its master should appear. This test of the spear can only be generated in at least the intermediate spirit realm."

"That's even better."

Bai Pu said with a smile, "I have plans to advance to the intermediate level of the spirit realm soon."

……

Li Ling was very efficient, finding channels to acquire most of the materials needed for upgrading purple weapons.

However, several materials are still missing, including the main material, "Evil-Breaking Fire Crystal".

When discussed with Chi Li, Chi Li was also in a dilemma. Other materials could be substituted, but the main material, "Breaking Evil Fire Crystal," could not be replaced. It was essential, and the higher the quality, the better.

At this moment, Bai Pu, with his authority as a one-star major general, did not have enough power to exchange for the Demon-Slaying Fire Crystal. This was actually a level 13 rarity item, which required a three-star major general to be eligible to exchange for.

Bai Pu could only turn to the Gaia Group for help, but after submitting his report, there were still a large number of major generals waiting in line ahead of him, and this process would take too long.

As for Envoy Li Yan, Bai Pu didn't want to trouble her repeatedly. After all, favors fade with use, and he had already troubled Envoy Li Yan many times. He really couldn't bring himself to ask for such a small matter as collecting materials.

Envoy Li Yan also has her own cultivation. As a domain lord of the Gaia Group, she has to contend with domain lord-level powerhouses from other factions. The pressure on her is no less than that on Bai Pu, and she can't just be Bai Pu's babysitter forever.

Bai Pu could only have Li Ling post a message on the Gaia Network's trading platform seeking to purchase the Shattering Fire Crystal, for which he was willing to pay a premium.

This news, nestled among the numerous buy and sell listings on the Gaia trading platform, seemed insignificant. Whether it would be seen by anyone, and whether the person who saw it would happen to possess a Demon-Slaying Fire Crystal and be short of funds, willing to exchange it for Spirit Crystals…

That's unknown.

However, Bai Pu received a response just a few hours after the message was sent.

It's worth noting that this response wasn't a message from the Gaia trading platform, but rather a private chat via Gaia Mark ID.

On the other end of the call was someone Bai Pu knew...

"It's Miss Saracia. Long time no see."

"Good day, Lord Steelheart. I heard you need a protective crystal?"

Saracia's melodious voice carried a fresh, natural fragrance.

"Does Greenlink have it?" Bai Pu was overjoyed.

“Yes, and I’m willing to give it to Lord Steelheart without any exchange.” Saracia’s voice was slightly shy.

"A gift without compensation?"

Bai Pu calmed down and realized that what's free is often the most expensive, and things that don't cost money usually come with conditions.

“Salasia, we’ve cooperated closely in our past explorations of the spirit world and have a certain level of trust in each other. Tell me, what conditions does the Green Alliance need in exchange?”

Saracia said softly, "My father wants to see you."

Saracia's father?
A document quickly came to mind for Bai Pu.

Lorthen Silverwind, the current head of the Silverwind family, a member of the Silverheart Council, and a Domain Lord-level expert. Would such an expert pay the price of a Shattering Flame Crystal just to see me once?
Is there such a good thing?

After confirming that the meeting place was Greentown Manor in the inner city, Bai Pu quickly agreed.

It wasn't that Bai Pu lacked vigilance.

Rather, as a well-known force in the Silver Heart World, the Green Alliance would only do so secretly if they wanted to harm him; they would never invite him to Green City Manor. Otherwise, if something happened to Bai Pu, the Green Alliance would be expelled from the Silver Heart World.

This is a large organization with tens of thousands of people, including nearly one hundred domain lords.

Although the strength of domain lords varies greatly, the Green Alliance's power, which can field one hundred domain lords, is clearly much stronger than a small force like "Wandering Ark".

"Salasia, tell me first what your father wants to see me about."

Saracia looked somewhat troubled upon hearing this.

However, she still offered a hint: "My father might be a bit... wishful thinking. Lord Steelheart, you don't need to worry, just refuse directly when the time comes. Anyway, my father said that as long as you can attend, the Demon-Slaying Crystal will be offered without hesitation."

……

Upon arriving at Green City Manor, Bai Pu finally understood why Saracia had said, "You can just refuse directly."

Senator Lorthene Silverwind's first words were:

"Young friend Gangxin, you're not married yet, are you?"

Having investigated his own background, Bai Pu couldn't very well lie, but that didn't stop him from telling the truth.

"He is not married, but he already has two beautiful women by his side."

Lorthern Silverwind chuckled, "It's alright. With your achievements and potential, how could you lack women? My dear friend Steelheart, my Saracia has long admired you. It's time to put your marriage on the agenda. I think the two of you are a perfect match. What do you think?"

Are people of color really this direct when it comes to marriage?

Bai Pu was completely numb.

"Lord Silverwind, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Miss Saracia and I are close comrades-in-arms, but we haven't reached the level of lovers, let alone marriage. Besides, I already have a lover..."

"Feelings can be cultivated, but the key is that you both need this marriage."

Lorthene Silverwind interrupted, "As for your lovers, as long as they behave themselves, who will care about their existence? Believe me, Saracia will understand and tolerate them too."

"Lord Silverwind, you seem to have made a mistake."

Bai Pu said earnestly, "Even if I get married, I will only marry my current lover. If Miss Saracia wants to join this family, she needs to gain the approval and acceptance of the matriarch, not the other way around."

Lorthern Silverwind frowned and said, "Steelheart, I know about your upbringing. In my mind, you should be a more rational person. Why are you acting on emotion?"

Bai Pu gently shook his head: "I'm sorry, but out of rational consideration, please allow me to decline your proposal. Our Blue Star Heavenly Court and the Green Alliance have a natural basis for cooperation and do not need a marriage alliance to maintain it."

"The Heavenly Court? Is that the small organization you just established less than a year ago?"

Lorthern Silverwind smiled slightly. "Steelheart, forgive my bluntness, but the Heavenly Court is not qualified to cooperate with the Green Alliance. The only person I am willing to invest in is you. A marriage alliance can make the cooperation even closer. As the leader of the power, isn't it reasonable for you to make slight concessions for the sake of the organization's interests and personal feelings?"
