Final Lord

Chapter 217 Bai Ling Shen

Elder Evil Eye shuddered, realizing his mistake. No one in the Golden Cult, whether puppet or follower, could make such a perfect judgment due to the influence of its rules.

If Wang Bufu were to come and request the results at this point, he would definitely conclude that Wang Bufu is not a follower of the Wujin Cult.

But Wang showed no interest in applying for a result and instead continued to the next stall.

White Spirit Leaf (A)

Materials - Common Tier 3

“One exquisite copper piece can be exchanged for six.”

"make a deal!"

White Spirit Fruit (S)

Food - Extraordinary Tier 6

Effect: The White Spirit Tree bears fruit only once every three years, one fruit at a time. Units with spellcasting abilities who consume the fruit immediately gain 2 Intelligence. This effect can only be applied once per unit.

"Good stuff! I don't have the equivalent food, but I do have level 4 mushrooms that can increase physical fitness if consumed regularly."

You frail Evil Eye Clan should really need this, right? One hundred for one.

"make a deal!"

Bai Ling blowgun

One-time common Tier 1 treasure

Attack power +1
Special Ability: Blows out a poison arrow coated with white spirit juice, causing continuous poison damage. Has a 0.1% chance to instantly kill units below Epic level. Equipment is damaged after using this ability.

"One-time use treasures are of a lower rank, and it's easy to give them a low price if you're not careful."

This blowgun has an instant-kill effect, which can significantly increase its price. The normal price for a regular Tier 1 one-time use item on the market is 50 gold coins.

"This blowgun costs 80 gold coins each. Is that alright?"

"no problem!"

Wang did not obey the order and started walking from the first stall, purchasing items along the way. He could explain the value of everything in a reasonable and convincing way.

Even tricky things can't stump him.

Seeing this, the Evil Eye Clan Chief was completely convinced. Even if he insisted that Wang Bufu was a follower of the Goldless Cult, no one in the clan would believe him.

Wang Bufu walked to the last stall.

A solitary statue sat on the stall. The statue resembled a giant white moth. The moth had long, proboscis that dangled down to the table, circling it several times. On its thorax was a single, enormous eye, its gaze filled with compassion and profound sorrow.

When Elder Evil Eye saw what it was, his expression changed. He quickly used his body to block the statue and said, "Test passed! You don't need to look anymore, guest. I'm sure you have no connection with the Wujin Sect."

"That won't do! I promised to pass the test, and I'm determined to evaluate you from beginning to end."

"Elder, please don't block my way. Let me take a closer look," Wang Bufu said.

Elder Evil Eye hurriedly shook his tentacles: "No need, no need, those are not for sale in the village, this kid took the wrong one. You have already passed the test." Wang Bufu gave Elder Evil Eye a deep look. He thought he could hide it, but little did he know that just that one look had allowed Wang Bufu to see through the secret.

White Spirit Statue

Tier 1 Treasure

Effect: A powerful and intelligent epic creature, the Spirit Moth, lives in the Spirit Forest and is worshipped as a god by the Evil Eyes.

Regularly worshipping the White Spirit statue may slightly increase the White Spirit Moth's favorability towards you.

If Wang Bufu still couldn't guess that the solidified silkworm cocoon was created by the White Spirit Moth after seeing this statue, then he had lived in vain.

He asked in a low voice, "Elder, to tell you the truth, I am a lord who is looking for territory."

I learned about this place from the cultists after killing them and interrogating them. I searched extensively before finally finding it.

I feel that this place is full of life and resources, and there aren't many monsters. It's perfect for me to build my territory around here. Would you like to be my neighbor?

"I have a way to leave here. If your Evil Eye Clan is lacking supplies, you can trade with me. My prices are fair; I will never raise them just because you need something from me."

"Establish a base nearby! That won't do!" Elder Evil Eye exclaimed anxiously. "If your territory grows large enough to cover the forest, what will happen to us Evil Eyes?"
"Besides, establishing a new territory is such a big commotion; if it wakes him up, I can't bear the responsibility."

"That one!" Wang Bufu was good at grasping the key point. "The one you're referring to is the one in the statue, right?"

The Evil Eye Clan Chief sighed, knowing he could no longer hide the truth, and honestly admitted, "That's right, it was Him. The divine beast that saved our Evil Eye Clan, the guardian deity of the White Spirit Forest."

Human, I know your forces are very strong and can easily kill the Rootworm army. But you should know that there are always stronger people out there.

The power of the White Spirit God is beyond your imagination. If you dare to provoke us or the White Spirit God, you will know the severity of the consequences.

“I certainly wouldn’t dare provoke him, but I still want to see him and ask for his consent. Maybe he’ll allow us to establish territory around here?”

"That won't do!" The Evil Eye Clan Chieftain immediately became anxious. All the tentacles and eyes stared warily at Wang Bufu: "The White Spirit God isn't someone you can just see whenever you want. Out of consideration for our shared status as beings of order, our Evil Eye Clan will not attack you. You can choose any place far away from the White Spirit Forest to establish your territory."

Wang Bufu smiled slightly and said, "What if I knew the way out of here? You must have explored this underground world, but didn't find the exit, right? I can take you out."

Wang Bufu carefully observed Elder Xieyan's eyes. When he heard that Wang Bufu could leave, he didn't feel tempted at all and looked indifferent.

“There’s no need.” Elder Evil Eye twitched his tentacles. “We’re living very comfortably here. We have no desire to leave. We only ask that you not bring your enemies here and disrupt our peaceful lives.”

Wang Bufu continued, "Don't you want to know how we found this place? I can tell you."

The Evil Eye Clan Chief shook his head. "I don't care how you got here, I only care how you leave. Go as far as you can, the farther the better."

After a moment of silence, Wang Bufu asked softly, "Can't you really let me see Bai Lingshen?"

"Absolutely not!" Chief Evil Eye insisted.

Wang Bufu frowned and said, "You're being too domineering. What gives you the right to make decisions for Bai Lingshen? Maybe Bai Lingshen is willing to see us?"

"That's none of your business," the Evil Eye Clan Chief said firmly. Under his control, the metal leaves on the surrounding White Spirit Trees transformed back into the shape of sharp blades, all pointing at Wang Bufu.

"You're not a follower of the Goldless Cult, so I didn't want to kill you. But don't push me. This is our territory!"
