Chapter 260: Crazy Luck Drain
"What type of treasures and resources do you want? Well…"
Yi Chen appeared somewhat shy about speaking up.
However, deep inside, he had made up his mind due to Ketes’s increasingly favorable attitude.
From Ketes’s current demeanor, Yi Chen deduced that even if Ketes discovered he was extracting luck, he likely would not be so angry as to take violent action.
Drain!
Extract as much as he could.
While Ketes’s attitude improved, Yi Chen’s stance had remained unchanged throughout.
He might be forced to yield due to the vast difference in their strength realms.
But he would never change his feelings of displeasure towards the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, no matter how good their attitude or how great the benefits offered.
The fact remained that they were coercing him into loyalty and seeking to control him.
Similarly, regardless of how nice their attitude was or how generous their offers, they merely wanted to extract greater returns from him.
With a thought,
Yi Chen quietly activated the Luck Technique.
In the Qi Sea,
his spirit power rapidly dwindled.
Outwardly, nothing seemed amiss.
But soon, the green luck continuously collected in his Qi Sea.
‘Is the grade really this low?!’
Yi Chen was somewhat surprised.
In his view, since Ketes’s strength realm had reached such a terrifying level, he must also possess Great Luck.
Yet, the quality of the luck was surprisingly two tiers lower than Bai Ruo Xin’s.
He didn’t know if it was because the luck was already mostly drained or if it was due to the earlier attempt to observe his own luck, which nearly cost him a massive hit from that forty-meter-long giant blade.
But regardless of its low grade, the volume was plentiful.
Draining it felt incredibly refreshing, like a continuous flow.
"Go ahead and tell me. Who knows, I might just have it. I’ve said before, even the resources and treasures I hold far exceed your imagination. I might have something you want, and giving you a little wouldn’t be an issue."
Ketes was completely unaware, even failing to notice that the spirit power in Yi Chen’s Qi Sea was rapidly depleting.
Most of his focus was on stabilizing his own energy and spirit while a small part considered how to deepen the relationship with Yi Chen.
He had no idea that his own luck was continuously flowing towards Yi Chen.
"What I want the most is a spirit mine that makes it easier to comprehend the laws of heaven."
Yi Chen spoke honestly.
Given his talents, and with his continuously rising abilities, such a spirit mine held little value for him.
However, creating a "Cave Paradise" in the future would significantly enhance the average strength and realm of the citizens of the Great Flame Kingdom, which had an extraordinary impact.
Wow!
That’s ruthless!
Ketes maintained a calm demeanor, but he had a thousand curses he wanted to express.
Easier comprehension of the laws of heaven indirectly means an increase in perceptiveness.
Perceptiveness almost represents one’s potential.
Treasures and resources that enhance perceptiveness are the most important in front of any Powerful Entities.
At most, there’s just a difference in the grade of these resources.
To ask for such a spirit mine right away is incredibly bold.
Moreover, Yi Chen had not specifically stated he wanted spirit mines suited for his current realm.
It was clear he wanted even high-quality spirit mines.
This guy, with luck strong enough to shatter half of his own spirit, has an appetite that defies reason.
"What about the next level?"
Ketes neither agreed nor disagreed.
He did not want to give up his vital resources just to gain favor from Yi Chen.
He planned to assess the situation before making a decision.
"If we’re talking about the next level, then it would involve spirit mines of even higher quality that contain pure energy."
Yi Chen did not mind Ketes’s attitude.
He did not really believe Ketes would give him what he wanted. He said it purely to buy more time and extract more luck.
"I do have quite a few of those spirit mines you’re talking about. I prepared them for my own cultivation before I came here. It’s not that I don’t want to give them to you, but they wouldn’t be of any use to you. The grade of these spirit mines is simply too high for your current strength realm."
Ketes felt somewhat helpless.
This demand wasn’t too high.
Yi Chen wanted some high-grade spirit stones to use once he broke through to the peak of the Crossing Tribulation Stage and entered a new major realm.
That way, even if he didn’t use the resources of this planet and hadn’t found other life planets, he could still quickly improve his realm.
For Ketes, spirit stones were a common resource; he could provide as many as Yi Chen wanted.
But he couldn’t produce them.
With his strength realm, he would never consider collecting and storing resources that were high-grade in Yi Chen’s eyes but low-grade in his.
"Alright!"
Yi Chen felt somewhat disappointed.
In terms of treasures and resources, he was already indifferent.
In the future, if he wanted anything, he would have the strength and wouldn’t be afraid of not getting it.
He was also too lazy to drag things out and prolong the conversation.
Instead, he changed his strategy and said, "The Tree-Dwelling Tribe believes in the causal path, so they naturally have a profound understanding and insight into the laws of causality. I wonder if you could share some insights with me?"
He planned to shift the conversation to exchange thoughts about the laws of causality with Ketes.
First, this might enhance and deepen his own understanding of the laws of causality.
Second, the laws of causality are complex and difficult to understand; they can only be grasped through experience rather than explained, and discussing them requires a strong divine consciousness, which would help further distract Ketes.
Third, such discussions could be considered a philosophical dialogue, which takes time and effort, making it a real time-consuming tool.
"Since you are interested in the laws of causality, I would be happy to share some insights with you."
Ketes felt a surge of joy.
This was a way to build a relationship without spending money.
He certainly could not ask for more.
If he had known Yi Chen was interested in the laws of causality and had some knowledge of them, he would have used this method to get closer to him long ago.
Not only did it cost nothing, but if the other person also gained great benefits, it would be much easier to earn their gratitude.
Yi Chen then began to slowly transmit his understanding of causality to Ketes through divine consciousness.
Ketes was astonished.
He was shocked to discover that Yi Chen’s insights into causality were even more profound and comprehensive than his own.
What on earth!
How is this possible?
With such weak strength, could someone have a deeper and more profound understanding of the laws of causality than himself?
After all, he was from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, which was born sensitive to the laws of causality.
What should he do?
Ketes felt a bit flustered.
He had intended to guide Yi Chen on the laws of causality, letting him benefit immensely, which would lead to gratitude.
However, just as Yi Chen started to transmit his understanding of causality, Ketes felt a sense of great benefit himself.
What could he use to advise this expert on the laws of causality?
Yet, he dared not say it openly.
Because Yi Chen’s insights were incredibly precious to him.
They gave him constant moments of clarity and enlightenment.
He felt both joy and panic.
He could only receive Yi Chen’s insights on the laws of causality while desperately suppressing the energy and spirit within him, all the while racking his brain for strategies.
Though he appeared to be motionless, he was actually overwhelmed with busyness.
Yi Chen, meanwhile, was not idle either, slowly transmitting insights about the laws of causality.
At the same time, he fully activated the Luck Technique, acting like a super pump, crazily extracting Ketes’s luck.
