Chapter 73 Golden Lotus from the Earth!

“Alright then, let’s go together, but be careful!”

Yue Ling said casually.

She hadn’t noticed the small passage there earlier and, seeing Ye Tian wanting to enter, simply thought he was curious.

Of course.

It might not even be a passage, perhaps just a small hole.

However, what Yue Ling didn't notice was that Ye Tian’s eyes were filled with longing and excitement.

His gaze had never left that small passage.

Because ever since he entered this cave, he had felt a longing. After killing the Sky-Shuttling Moon Wolf, he finally checked, only to find that the longing was the same as when he encountered the golden fruit.

And the place that aroused his longing was that small passage.

“There must be a treasure inside that can enhance my Copy Talent!”

Ye Tian was excited.

It should be known that treasures like the heaven soul flower, which can enhance Cultivation Talent, are not very useful to him; they cannot enhance his Copy Talent, and he doesn't know how to find treasures that can enhance Copy Talent.

Now, he had finally encountered another one.

“I must get it at all costs!”

Ye Tian secretly clenched his fists.

Ye Tian was in front, Yue Ling behind.

The two walked towards the small passage. The passage wasn't long, only about ten meters.

At this moment.

Ye Tian finally discovered that it contained a world of its own; they seemed to have entered another realm.

Inside was a vast space spanning several thousand meters, with a small lake in the center. The lake water was not stagnant; it must have been connected to an underground river, which is why a living water lake formed within the mountain’s belly.

And on the lake grew a lotus flower. The lotus flower was not ordinary; its entire body was as white as snow, but it had faint Gold Thread lines around it, as if it were the queen of flowers.

By the lake was a stone, covered with thick animal fur, showing signs of a ferocious beast inhabiting it.

“This is where that black wolf truly lived. No wonder we didn’t see the black wolf when we entered the cave, and then it suddenly appeared. So it had been living here all along, and when it sensed us entering the cave, it teleported out!” Yue Ling said, suddenly enlightened.

Ye Tian nodded blankly, as if responding to Yue Ling, while his gaze remained fixed on the lotus flower.

“That’s the thing that caused the tremor in my Copy Talent!”

Ye Tian said longingly.

And Yue Ling finally sensed the change in Ye Tian’s eyes and followed his gaze to the lotus flower in the lake.

Initially, she showed no reaction, but soon her expression changed.

“Could this be the legendary Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus?!”

Yue Ling exclaimed.

“Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus, what is that?”

Ye Tian tried to get more information from Yue Ling.

Ye Tian tried to get more information from Yue Ling.

Yue Ling calmed herself and explained: “It is said that over a hundred years ago, many novels mentioned 'heavenly flowers falling and Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus emerging' to describe celestial phenomena. But in reality, heavenly flowers and the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus truly exist. It is said that in ancient times, the ancients obtained the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus and gained many benefits from it, becoming immortal-like beings among the ancients, hence the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus gradually became deified. Of course, the so-called immortals and gods that appeared in ancient times are merely Martial Warriors with special talents in modern times, and their strength might not even be as good as some Martial Warriors, but in ancient times, they were regarded as immortals and gods.”

“And the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus is a special heavenly treasure. To say it’s precious, it’s extremely rare. But to say it’s not precious, sometimes it’s very much a white elephant, or even useless!” Yue Ling said these strange words.

Ye Tian listened, utterly confused, but soon understood the reason.

It turned out that the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus was a treasure useful for talent, regardless of tier or grade.

Even an Extraordinary Grade talent might be able to use the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus to enhance their talent ability, but only to enhance the ability, not the talent grade.

Take the Wind Blade Talent, for example. If a Genius with a Top-Tier Wind Blade Talent were to consume an Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus, his Wind Blade Talent would certainly remain at the Top-Tier level, but the ability of the Wind Blade would be transformed as a result.

For instance, the Wind Blade could change forms, becoming a wind spear, a wind saber, or even gaining a sharp effect, and so on.

In short, the true purpose of the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus is not to elevate talent grade, but to enhance the various transformations of a talent.

Some transformations are useful, but some are not.

It is rumored that someone used the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus to make their Speed Talent produce a phantom effect, making their speed ghostly, but the improvement in strength was not as great as imagined.

However, because it has the special effect of transforming any grade of talent, the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus has become one of the heavenly treasures that are extremely expensive but have very limited practical use.

The price is disproportionate to the gain, but many still seek to acquire the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus. They hope for luck, wishing to use the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus to produce very good special effects for their talent.

“How much is one Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus worth?”

Ye Tian asked.

Yue Ling extended five fingers and, as Ye Tian stared in astonishment, said: “50 billion!”

“What?!”

Ye Tian was greatly surprised.

This price is too expensive!

“Not expensive!” Yue Ling explained: “For a Great Martial Warrior, it’s absurdly expensive, even completely uneconomical. But what about Grandmasters and King-level experts? Those people don’t care about a mere 50 billion. Even if it only helps their talent a little, they are willing to spend 50 billion, or even 100 billion. So, the value of the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus depends on who is interested. In a small Great Base, it’s not worth much, but in the Demon Sea Great Base, it’s worth 50 billion!”

Ye Tian nodded. The value of a treasure depends on the market, not the treasure’s inherent price.

Sometimes, what one Martial Warrior doesn’t need, another Martial Warrior desperately desires.

That’s the principle!

And the Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus is far more valuable to Ye Tian than to anyone else; it can cause other, and very good, transformations in his Copy Talent.

Ye Tian guessed that the golden fruit from before also had a similar effect, but that golden fruit could also enhance Cultivation Talent, so its value might not be lower than this Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus; it might even be higher!

Looking deeply at Yue Ling, Ye Tian said, “Yue Ling, I am very interested in this Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus. I am willing to exchange it for 3 heaven soul flowers. 3 heaven soul flowers are worth 30 billion, and if we split this Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus, you can get 25 billion. So, you won’t be at a disadvantage!”

“Okay, but that puts you at a disadvantage. You contributed the most this time, and I shouldn’t take advantage of you. How about this: you only need to give me 2 heaven soul flowers, and this Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus will be yours!” Yue Ling allocated it this way.

Neither of them had any objections, and they reached an agreement.

In this operation, Ye Tian obtained a Sky-Shuttling Moon Wolf corpse, 2 heaven soul flowers, and 1 Earth-Emerging Golden Lotus.

Such a huge gain completely surpassed Ye Tian’s entire net worth, by many times over.

It could be said that in less than half an hour, Ye Tian’s net worth skyrocketed many times over.
