“Overlords?”
When Mei Changge heard Liu Yuexi’s words, he looked puzzled.
“It is merely a title. Being able to claim a thousand miles of land signifies that the foreign race has set foot on the path of an Overlord.”
Xia Wu explained to Mei Changge with a serious expression.
An Overlord was the sole authority within a thousand-mile radius.
In addition to the title, the race that attained the status of “Overlord” would also develop a distinctive Spirit of Destiny. As the faction grew in strength, the Spirit of Destiny would undergo continuous transformation.
The Overlord of a thousand miles had only just stepped onto the path of Overlord.
There were rumors that deep within No Man’s Land, some Overlords governed territories that extended over tens of thousands of miles in width.
“Spirit of Destiny?”
Mei Changge’s eyes flashed slightly. He recalled the Spirit of Destiny in his mind and wondered if the two were related.
However, he guessed that even if they were not the same, there should be some connection between them.
“This time, besides purchasing some Spirit Wine, I’m also interested in striking a deal with you on how to attain the status of an Overlord.” Xia Wu glanced at Liu Yuexi and then at Mei Changge.
“A deal?”
Mei Changge’s expression was calm. Although he was interested in becoming an Overlord, he planned to walk the path of Dynasty in the future. The two should be different, but there should be some connection.
“Tell me more.”
Mei Changge nodded slightly. Although he did not have to become an Overlord, it would be beneficial to him if he could understand it. After all, there should be many Overlord-tier foreign races in the depths of No Man’s Land.
It would be good if he could understand it in advance.
“I’ll tell you a method to become an Overlord, but I need your help to plant this spiritual plant.”
After Xia Wu finished speaking, he flipped his palm around and a lotus flower appeared in his hand.
“I understand that your Blessed Land is connected to the lotus flower. If you can cultivate this lotus flower on a larger scale, I’ll share all the information about becoming an Overlord with you.”
“Lotus flower?”
Mei Changge’s eyes lit up when he saw the lotus flower in Xia Wu’s hand.
The lotus leaves had a pale green color, while the flower itself was a vibrant red. It bore a slight resemblance to the Red Lotus. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance, Mei Changge could sense a latent power within this lotus flower.
“Grade 5 Lotus Flower?”
Mei Changge raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at the lotus flower.
Even though this lotus was just a spiritual plant and couldn’t elevate his Blessed Land to Grade 5, its quality was still commendable. He didn’t possess a Grade 5 lotus spiritual plant.
Even the White Jade Lotus in his Lotus Flower Blessed Land, from the start, had only reached Grade 7. Furthermore, considering the grade of the Blessed Land, reaching Grade 6 was already the maximum attainable.
Unless the Blessed Land advanced to Grade 5, the White Jade Lotus would never advance.
“I can try.”
Mei Changge nodded in agreement. Given the quality of this spiritual plant, he had no reason to decline it, let alone request assistance in its cultivation. One could say he didn’t incur any losses.
After all, after cultivating it, a new lotus flower would be added to his Blessed Land.
“Okav.”
Xia Wu nodded slightly and handed the lotus flower in his hand to Mei Changge.
“This lotus flower is called Xia Yuhe!”
“Huh? Xia Yuhe?”
When Mei Changge heard Xia Wu’s words, he was clearly stunned. He looked at Xia Wu strangely.
“Xia Yuhe from Daming Lake?”
“How did you know that Xia Yuhe came from Daming Lake?”
Xia Wu was also stunned. After all, he had never told anyone the source of this lotus flower.
“Alright, let’s go to Daming Lake!”
Mei Changge waved his hand, signaling that it wasn’t a matter worth worrying about.
“Be it the lotus leaves, lotus flowers, or lotus seeds, they are all of no use. The only valuable part is the lotus roots it produces.”
“I need a large number of lotus roots. Once you nurture them, you can contact me through the Star Web.”
Xia Wu pointed at “Xia Yuhe” and said.
Lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus seeds were only used to nourish the lotus roots.
The true ability of the lotus root was to create a puppet’s true body.
It could be described as having a second body. Xia Wu required a significant quantity of lotus roots to fashion a secondary body for his subordinates. Only then would he possess greater assurance in dealing with the foreign races beyond the Dark Wall.
“Create the true body of the puppet?”
“Exactly. Although it’s referred to as a puppet, it’s essentially no different from a regular body. In fact, it might even have some extraordinary qualities.”
“Alright, I’ll plant it in the Blessed Land first. Once it’s nurtured, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Mei Changge nodded in agreement.
“This is the Overlord Manual. It contains instructions on how to become an
Overlord and provides information about Overlords. Feel free to peruse it.”
Xia Wu spoke as he retrieved a slim manual. Mei Changge didn’t hesitate and accepted the Overlord Manual. He then turned his attention to Liu Yuexi and Tong Mengyan, who remained silent.
Mei Changge seemed to be observing if the two of them had any further matters to discuss.
“Other than buying Spirit Wine, I don’t have anything else.”
Liu Yuexi shook her head slightly. Tong Mengyan remained silent.
“Alright then, this deal is done. I’ll wait for your good news.”
With that, Xia Wu took out the Green Lotus Invitation that Mei Changge had given him and disappeared from the room..
