Chapter 445 - 443: If I Wanted To...
World Master noticed everyone’s gaze turning to him.
He wasn’t embarrassed at all. He stated frankly, "That’s right. Su Qing defeated me."
"If you can’t even beat me, you’ll probably lose to Su Qing as well."
"As a descendant of the Time Royal Family, I have to admire someone whose understanding of the rhythms of Time is even more profound than my own."
Hearing this, everyone was incredibly surprised.
Only the two sisters beside Su Qing showed little reaction.
They knew Su Qing had defeated World Master.
Perhaps they had been there to witness it.
"I just barely managed to win. World Master, you’re praising me too much."
"I’m just an ordinary person," Su Qing replied with a humble smile.
World Master couldn’t help but give Su Qing a strange look.
’This guy, acting so modest.’
’After he beat me, he was so confident, saying he had learned my Magic.’
’I wonder if that was true.’
But in the end, World Master believed he had definitely been defeated by the Power of Time.
Because during the fight, he had been completely oblivious.
He only understood after watching the replay.
"Su Qing is being rather modest. It’s probably because so many beings want to challenge him."
"The last time I challenged him, I had to cater to his interests and offer up a Source Path Cultivation Method."
"Only then did he agree to fight me."
"What do you mean, ’offer up’? I won that fair and square, okay? If I had lost, I probably wouldn’t have gotten that Source Path Cultivation Method at all."
Su Qing said, annoyed.
He had won it, after all.
Otherwise, how would he have this Source Path Cultivation Method?
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qing added with a smile, "If any of you wish to challenge me, you’re welcome anytime. Just wager a Source Path Cultivation Method, and I, Su Qing, will absolutely give you a satisfying fight."
’Wealth, companions, methods, and land.’
’Among them, "methods" are what Su Qing currently lacks.’
’As for the other three, wealth is something Su Qing doesn’t need much of right now.’
’Companions and land, in a Great Thousand World like the Star Sea...’
’...are simple enough to obtain.’
’It’s just that some lands are unobtainable.’
’For example, the land here in the Taichu Daoist Palace.’
After Su Qing spoke, Heng Yaoyao said with a smile, "I don’t have that kind of ability. However, my family is famous for refining Elixirs, so if you want to buy any, Su Qing, you can come to me. I guarantee both effective and affordable products."
"Sounds good," Su Qing nodded in agreement.
Elixirs.
Su Qing hadn’t used them in a long time.
Because there was little need.
Ordinary Elixirs were completely useless to him.
Only Elixirs that had undergone Standardization were effective.
Besides, from Su Qing’s perspective, spending a high price to obtain an Elixir was less effective than just eating all the raw herbs directly.
The result probably wouldn’t be much different.
"If your Medicine Immortal Race sells any miraculous medicinal seeds, I’d be interested in buying one or two." Su Qing was very interested in Heng Yaoyao.
Because her family specialized in pharmacology.
They might have an innumerable collection of medicinal seeds.
"Mister Su Qing, you’re that interested in seeds?"
"Of course."
"I’ll discuss it with my family when I get back and see if we can sell any," Heng Yaoyao said evasively.
Su Qing lost interest.
It was highly likely that she wouldn’t sell those medicinal seeds.
"Su Qing, you want to buy a miraculous seed?"
"I happened to have collected one. Want to take a look?" Qiang Shangli of the Boundless Race raised an eyebrow.
He took out a seemingly formless seed with one hand.
[Infinite Seed: A type of medicinal seed that feeds on the information of a Great Thousand World. It absorbs the information of a Great Thousand World to sprout and grow, eventually maturing into an Infinite Dark World. Consuming it grants the Creation Mark, allowing one to step onto the Creation Dao Path and obtain the Book of Creation.]
[Combinable]
’Whoa.’
’The things the Last Life Clan finds are on another level.’
Su Qing couldn’t help but feel impressed, but he put on a puzzled expression and asked, "What kind of seed is this?"
"A miraculous seed. I don’t know its function, and it can’t be cultivated through conventional means." Qiang Shangli shrugged, indicating he didn’t recognize it either.
"It’s true," Heng Yaoyao whispered from the side. "My Magic has no effect on it."
"Even lifeforms who possess similar seeds don’t seem to know how this one is cultivated."
Su Qing feigned interest. "This must be like the one for Praising the Sound of Origin, just unrecorded."
"Qiang Shangli, what kind of trade are you looking for?"
Qiang Shangli was surprised. "You have the seed for Praise the Sound of Origin?"
"I have one, but I can’t get it to grow. I’m trying to figure out how to cultivate it now," Su Qing chuckled. This was no secret.
Most beings didn’t actually want to cultivate the seed for Praise the Sound of Origin; they wanted to eat it.
But Su Qing didn’t want to do that.
Su Qing wanted to cultivate it.
Eating the seed would, at most, let him hear the Praise the Sound of Origin for a short while.
But if he cultivated it, the possibilities were endless.
"Will you trade it for my seed?" Qiang Shangli was tempted.
"No trade," Su Qing shook his head.
’How could I possibly trade it?’
’Even if I get this new one and combine them, I won’t trade away the original.’
’This is my treasure.’
"Are you sure you won’t trade it?" Heng Yaoyao also asked quietly from the side.
Her eyes also revealed a hint of curiosity.
After all, seeds of this level were exceedingly rare, and they were often eaten not long after being discovered.
And Su Qing had been cultivating his for some time.
If he traded it, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Besides, he was still planning to use his Growth Technique on it after the seed sprouted.
How could he possibly be willing to just hand it over?
"I’m not trading."
"However, I am interested in Qiang Shangli’s seed."
"It has the Life Force of a seed, but it can’t be cultivated normally."
"For me, it has some research value, more or less."
Su Qing wouldn’t reveal that he knew the seed’s true value.
His expression showed only a slight hint of interest.
Qiang Shangli said in a low voice, "I don’t know what this seed is either, but there’s definitely something good inside."
"So, make me an offer."
"I won’t accept anything worth less than one hundred million Taichu Coins."
"This is something I found after searching for treasures for a long time," Qiang Shangli said with a light chuckle. He didn’t know its true nature, as it was something he had stumbled upon by chance in some world.
Its value could be as cheap as a weed, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t rare.
In the Star Sea World, there were countless strange objects—some useless, some useful.
And not every being, upon seeing something, would just swallow it to find out what it was.
What if it was poisonous?
So, for Qiang Shangli, he had to at least get a good price.
"Do you know the value of this seed?"
"Compared to something worth one hundred million Taichu Coins..."
"...this seed isn’t worth that much. The most I’ll offer is one Star Fruit."
Su Qing said nonchalantly, a Star Fruit appearing in his hand.
The moment the Star Fruit appeared, the two sisters beside Su Qing looked at him in astonishment.
A Star Fruit was a rare item.
How could he just take one out like that?
Moreover, several Star Fruits seemed to be in circulation recently in the Taichu Daoist Palace.
Even for the Star Rights Race, who specialized in cultivating Morning Star Trees, the yield of Star Fruits was very low.
"One Star Fruit? Such a high price... Su Qing, could it be that you know this seed’s purpose?" Qiang Shangli’s eyes narrowed slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
Su Qing said indifferently, "I’m sorry to give you the wrong impression. To me, I can have as many Star Fruits as I want."
"A Star Fruit is worth less to me than a Copper Gong Pig."
"If I wanted to, the entire Eastern Domain could possess the Star Dao Path," Su Qing stated flatly.
His words were terrifying.
It made even World Master look over.
Even Yan Jiao, who had been silent in the corner, looked at Su Qing with astonishment.
