Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Brother Xiang, I'm bothering you today to discuss the quantity of our spoils," Li Dawei said with a smile.

If Xiang Bei hadn't arrived in time and turned the tide, single-handedly defeating more than twenty lord-level monsters, their Southeast Military Region would have suffered heavy losses.

"Brother Xiang has killed a total of 11 lord-level monsters, including one high-level lord-level monster, four mid-level lord-level monsters, and six low-level lord-level monsters. The corpses of these monsters have now been retrieved from the shore. I wonder what General Xiang plans to do with them?" Li Dawei said with a smile.

"Oh, and there's also the corpse of that king-level monster. Councilor Su Chong suggested that we each take half, young brother Xiang. What do you think, young brother?"

"I have no objection!" Xiang Bei shook his head.

"I remember the military regulations stipulated that 20% of the spoils of war should be handed over, right?" Xiang Bei asked.

"That's true, but..." Li Dawei was about to explain when Xiang Bei quickly interrupted him.

"Alright then, I won't take the corpses of the low-level and mid-level lord monsters. Use the extra parts to compensate the wounded and injured warriors," Xiang Bei said in a deep voice.

The most valuable item in this battle was undoubtedly the corpse of that king-level monster fish, which was worth at least tens of billions.

However, the strange fish was severely damaged, and since it had to be split 50/50 with others, the amount that ended up in Xiang Bei's hands should not exceed 30 billion.

Secondly, there are the corpses of high-level lord-class monsters, which number around 11 to 2 billion.

As for mid-to-high-level lord-level monsters, they are much cheaper, totaling less than 250 billion.

The gains from this battle amounted to approximately 650 billion.

Handing over the corpses of the junior-level lord-level monsters to Li Dawei was not a problem for Xiang Bei.

Moreover, while 250 billion may seem like a lot, after deducting 20% ​​of his total spoils, the remaining amount of biological resources distributed to each wounded or killed soldier and their family is actually quite small.

However, Li Dawei was so surprised by Xiang Bei's generosity that he was speechless.

After all, that's hundreds of billions of dollars. Distributing it to the soldiers would make him feel a little better.

This will also offer some comfort to these soldiers and their families, making their lives a little easier in the future.

Finally, Xiang Bei hung up the phone amidst Li Dawei's profuse thanks.

Xiang Bei's mood also eased a little.

His remaining loot will then be converted into cash and transferred to his account.

I checked my current account balance and then estimated the amount of money that would soon be transferred to my account; it was around 55 billion.

In addition, he also had the spirits of plants and trees he had harvested on the island of mist. Besides the "Millennial Kudzu Root", "Iron Juice Flower" and "Millennial Willow Heart" that he was to keep, he had six other spirits of plants and trees in his possession.

However, the remaining plant spirits were not of much use to him.

He planned to sell all six plant spirits and exchange them for a gravity chamber and dragon blood.

Gravity chambers can help warriors below the general level quickly improve their strength, while dragon blood can help general-level warriors double or triple their strength.

If you reach the level of a mid-level warrior or above, you have a chance to reach the level of a war god.

In addition, there is also the spirit of plants and trees, such as "Millennial Kudzu Root," which can help martial artists below the general level to cultivate quickly.

With these various treasures that aid in cultivation, the Xiang family could produce several more War God-level experts in a short period of time.

Xiang Dong, Xiang Nan, and Zhang Dong are all just one step away from becoming intermediate-level generals.

As long as the resources are sufficient, Xiang Bei is confident that he can help them become War God level experts within a year.

"Oh, and there's also the Azure Vine on Mist Island. Its sap can help nourish one's soul." Xiang Bei thought that it was an extremely precious treasure, and he would probably have to go to Mist Island from time to time to collect its sap.

However, he still needs a means of transportation, otherwise it wouldn't be good to always borrow fighter jets from the military region.

However, a King-class fighter jet is too expensive, and ordinary fighter jets don't have fully intelligent control systems. He doesn't know how to fly a plane.

Furthermore, his physical attributes have now reached the level of a mid-level War God, not far from the planetary level, and he should now prepare for entering the universe.

First of all, you definitely have to learn the universal language, otherwise, you'll be looked down upon in the universe, not to mention the possibility of being looked down upon.

Communicating with others is also a big problem.

However, he remembered that the two major martial arts schools and the five great nations seemed to have translated a number of universal languages ​​and scripts based on various relics.

He might be able to use his access privileges to look into and learn about it.

The other one is the spaceship underground in the desert.

This may be Xiang Bei's only means of transportation to reach the universe.

Xiang Bei plans to learn the universal language of the universe before re-exploring the spaceship, and if possible, he wants to gain complete control of it.

Of course, all of this will take some time, and he needs to sell the spirits of plants and trees and purchase treasures such as gravity chambers.

"Okay, let's inform the Thor Pavilion Master and Councilor Jia Yi of the news. As for the others, let's leave it at that. It's just right to divide the six plants into three on each side and let them choose for themselves."

Xiang Bei thought that since the spirits of plants and trees were so precious that every faction wanted them, he would naturally only choose the faction that was close to him.

Thor had taught him the skills and knowledge, and as a citizen of Xia and a general who had been officially granted a rank, he naturally couldn't treat his family poorly.

Since both companies had what he wanted, he didn't need to go through any more trouble.

Less than a minute after the message was sent, Thor had already sent him a message asking him to meet at the Ares Palace.

The situation in Xia Kingdom was equally swift, with Councilor Jia Yi personally taking charge.

Xiang Bei showed no disrespect and directly invited the two into his private space within the War God Palace.

"Master, Councilor Jia."

Xiang Bei greeted the two first.

"Xiao Bei, are you sure you want to sell six spirit plants?" Thor was still somewhat incredulous.

It seems he gave Xiang Bei a thousand-year-old willow heart not long ago. Where did he conjure up so many plant spirits in such a short time?

On the other side, Jia Yi also greeted Xiang Bei, but her eyes were full of surprise.

They were fighting side by side on the battlefield just yesterday, weren't they?

"Of course we're selling! Please take a look, you two!"

As he spoke, Xiang Bei waved his hand, and six virtual images of plant spirits appeared before the two of them.

"Firethorn, Sophora flavescens, Bluegrass..."

Indeed, they were all spirits of plants and trees, and both of them were knowledgeable and experienced, so they could naturally tell the difference between the real and fake spirits of plants and trees.

But I can't help but be amazed.

It should be noted that plant spirits are rare, and many plant spirits are used up very quickly after they appear in the world.

Even the Xia Kingdom and the Thunder Martial Arts School don't have many reserves of such rare items.

The two families combined probably didn't even have thirty plants, but Xiang Bei took out six plant spirits in one go.
