Qian Er didn't understand negotiation and profit sharing, nor did he bother with it; he let the professionals handle professional matters.
His role was to be the anchor, just being there was enough to steady many people's hearts.
This negotiation lasted a full three days, ending only when the demigod opportunity matured.
"How did it go? Did you secure enough profit?"
On the way back, Qian Er looked at Du Xiuming beside him and asked with a smile.
"More than enough. After exhausting all my words, this time it really is enough."
Du Xiuming's face was flushed, and he was all smiles.
His pressure these three days was immense. Before the contract was signed, the Void Sky Crane could have leaked the news of the demigod opportunity at any time, so he was responsible for sealing off the Void Sky Crane tribe for these three days. Fortunately, the floating continent fell; otherwise, sealing off the sky would have been quite troublesome.
Only when the Void Sky Crane's elders signed the contract, guaranteeing that the Void Sky Crane clan would not spread the news, and the contract was certified by the world, did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"This time, all the human nations contributed, so each country needs a share. Yan Country gets two and a half shares. Also, you put in a great effort this time, so the government will give you an extra one share of the profit to cultivate your confidants."
As he spoke, Du Xiuming looked at Qian Er with envy. This was a tenth of the profit from a twelve-victory race, enough to make even the great powers jealous.
But even if they were jealous, they wouldn't dare to say much. After all, Qian Er had personally earned this, suppressing two powerhouses with his own strength. This record was simply too fierce. After this news spread back to human territory, many human leaders had begun to speculate whether Qian Er was the strongest Beast Master alive right now.
"What's included?"
Mentioning his own money, Qian Er immediately perked up and asked excitedly.
"This."
Du Xiuming smiled and took out a black and white giant egg the size of a human head from his spatial backpack and handed it to Qian Er.
"This color scheme… is a Void Sky Crane egg?!"
Qian Er exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that the Void Sky Crane would even send out an unhatched egg.
"That's right, a Void Sky Crane egg. From now on, the Void Sky Crane will have to pay 30% of their territory's output and 30% of their newborns to humans every year. These newborns can be contracted by humans. This is a Void Sky Crane, after all. Although they are not considered quasi-gods without a floating island, they are still the strongest among the quasi-gods. Although you can't use it yourself, it's still good to take it back and cultivate your confidants."
As he spoke, he took the egg back.
"Your share can be claimed from the military supplies department when you get back. This egg is mine."
After speaking, he stared at Qian Er like a thief. This egg was not simple; it was the direct grandson of a True King of the Void Sky Crane, and his great-grandson happened to have awakened with a high-level flying talent. It was perfect to take back as a gift for him, and he couldn't just give it to Qian Er.
"Alright, alright."
Qian Er waved his hand. After speaking, he immediately turned to find the military supplies, but before he could move, Du Xiuming pulled him back.
"Wait a moment. No one dares to embezzle your things. The most important thing now is to take the things back."
The most important thing now was the location of the demigod opportunity.
"Okay."
Mentioning serious matters, Qian Er also put away his playful mood and walked into the teleportation array.
As soon as he entered, he smelled the strong metallic stench.
In just three days, the steel vines had grown everywhere, already having the appearance of a coiling dragon, just like what he had seen in the video before.
And in the center of the metal sphere, the soaring, grim aura had been nurtured, almost breaking through the restraints of the metal sphere.
"According to our research during this period, this demigod opportunity is steel and grass type, which is quite compatible with Senior Xiaoyue. Although Senior Xiaoyue is steel and psychic type and doesn't have grass type, its main body is tree-shaped, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Wilson, who had been guarding here, immediately came over to explain to Qian Er and Du Xiuming. The Turtle Saint, who had regained consciousness but was still unable to move, was lying on a stretcher, carried by several fighting ogres, with people constantly feeding various medicines into the Turtle Saint's mouth.
And he didn't know much more. After all, this was the first demigod opportunity they knew of, related to the life and death of the race, so they couldn't let him research it. If something was missing, causing them to be unable to break through to demigod, who could be responsible?
Heaven knows how painful it was for a research maniac like him to stare at that demigod opportunity for three days without being able to touch it.
What's the difference between this and letting a monkey watch peaches?!
"When will it be completely mature?"
Qian Er asked.
"According to the energy fluctuations, it will probably reach its peak in ten minutes."
Receiving this answer, Qian Er nodded and released all his beasts.
Du Xiuming's breathing also slowed down, for fear of disturbing Qian Er.
Time passed by, and ten minutes flew by.
At the instant the ten minutes were up, the outer shell of the metal sphere was torn apart by a sharp, cold light. In the next moment, the luster of metal flashed within.
Just as the thing inside was about to break free, a blood-red hand enveloped it, sealing the metal sphere, which had been cut in two, and wrapping the thing inside.
The sharp metallic light was still flashing constantly, almost breaking free from the Bloodforged Saint's restraints several times, but the Bloodforged Saint's physical strength was not a joke. One hand forcefully suppressed the turmoil of the demigod opportunity.
"Quick, the teleportation gate!"
Qian Er and the Bloodforged Saint were in sync and immediately understood that the Bloodforged Saint couldn't let go, so he could only personally escort it over.
Du Xiuming pulled away the researchers controlling the teleportation gate and personally opened the gate for Qian Er, watching Qian Er and the Bloodforged Saint walk into it.
A flash of light passed before his eyes, and Qian Er stood again at the gate of the Imperial Academy. In front of him was the metal gate used to check identity. Around him, the True Kings of various countries had been waiting for a long time, looking expectantly at the Bloodforged Saint's constantly expanding and contracting palm. Vaguely, they could still see the silver-white light spots constantly wandering in the Bloodforged Saint's palm.
In an instant, many people's breathing became rapid, but no one dared to move. After all, this was not ordinary times.
"Hurry in!"
A European True King whom Qian Er didn't recognize moved his eyes with difficulty and shouted to Qian Er.
"Follow me."
The old dean appeared in front of Qian Er with a complicated expression, leading Qian Er into his office.
"Senior Xiaoyue's poison hasn't healed yet, so you need to go in yourself."
As he spoke, he opened the teleportation array in the dean's office again, connecting to the beast space of the deceased first dean.
Logically speaking, when a Beast Master dies, the beast should also die, but there are always exceptions. Senior Xiaoyue, as an Immeasurable Light Tree, is a dimensional creature, rooted in the dimension and not disturbed by the rules of the beast space.
The other four powerhouses also have similar abilities, so they can survive to this day after the death of the Beast Master.
