Chapter 803 Is It Upto Par?
Davis continued, regardless of the imposing and admonishing gazes he received from the two elders, "As for the distribution of the battle rewards... It'll be like this..."
"It's us against you two powers, so one side only needs to win three battles to get what the other wants. If we win, you'll hand over the twenty Nethersnow Spirit Tear Drops and the Auspicious Yin Bloodstone, and if we lose... You'll get your twenty percent of that Million Em- uh... whatever nectar..."
Davis looked as if the Conferred Queen's side couldn't possibly lose, which irked the two elders to no end, making them furrow their brows in displeasure.
It was one thing for the Conferred Queen to run her mouth with the status she possessed, but for her subordinate to be this presumptuous, they felt Alchemist Davis was just courting death!
Just when they tried to put Alchemist Davis in his place, a cold yet melodious voice rang out.
"It's as my subordinate says..." Princess Isabella's lips moved.
As if being moved from being acknowledged, Davis became so 'ecstatic' that he bowed in reverence, "It's my honor to be acknowledged, Young Mistress."
Davis and Princess Isabella glanced at each other as their lips imperceptibly curved.
Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye became taken aback as they saw the Conferred Queen approve Alchemist Davis's words. They were distressed and were panicking a bit as well.
To win three battles out of the five?
It was easier said than done as they only had little confidence in themselves when faced with a superior power from a large Territory.
That's why they suggested a battle style that if a younger generation from their side wins one battle, they would at least get four percent of the nectar. That way, even if they lost three battles, they would still get four percent each out of the two battles.
Even if they lost three battles entirely in the end and lost the two resources from their side, they would've still gained, but now, their plans were thwarted by two juniors, and since they were the ones who were claiming a bit of the nectar, they were truly unable to negotiate.
They were aware that if they were to change the mode of battle, perhaps, the Conferred Queen would wake her protector from seclusion and kick them out.
Elder Towerfall looked towards Elder Enye as he slightly clenched his fists. Thinking or negotiating with words wasn't his forte, so he had to rely on smart people's help for these kinds of situations.
"Just let me ask this then..." Elder Enye sighed as she sensed Elder Towerfall's gaze.
"We have promised to give twenty drops of Nethersnow Spirit Tear Drops and an Auspicious Yin Bloodstone, but we have yet to know how much exactly is twenty percent of the nectar and what are its true effects?"
"Oh? You doubt this Young Mistress?" Princess Isabella's tone became amusing, but hidden within it was a kind of dormant rage.
Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye could both hear the hidden rage in her voice.
Elder Enye quickly placated, "We just want to know if it's the real deal. After all, even though we own twenty percent according to the relevant article of the alliance, we're giving out two extremely important resources to truly gain the nectar. I am simply scared that twenty percent of the nectar will turn out to be useless in the end. If that happened, this elder would have no face to return to my Falling Snow Sect."
Princess Isabella surprisingly nodded her head as if she truly understood Elder Enye's plight.
This made Elder Enye taken aback and confused as to what kind of a person the Conferred Queen is... Her icy expression faded a little, replaced with amicability.
In reality, Princess Isabella just feigned her anger and created a window for Davis to explain to her about the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar.
Other than its heavenly use of smoothly increasing one's Body Tempering Cultivation, she knew nothing, and just as she expected, in that few moments, Davis relayed to her about whatever he knew about the nectar.
"You don't need to worry as I've been told by my protector how much nectar he obtained, and even told me its effects."
Elder Towerfall's eyes lit up. Out of the two powers, the Towering Cloud Hall is the one who lusted after this nectar. The Towering Cloud Hall's main hall mainly trains in Body Tempering Cultivation, so he remained truly excited at the prospect of learning the nectar's true effects.
He felt a little bit nervous, as well as a little expectant. From the projection he gained from the intelligence organizations, the plant lifeform appeared a bit different from the Million Emerald Vines Calamity. He was afraid that the effects would be different.
Furthermore, the difference was the reason the Falling Snow Sect took an interest in the nectar. The plant lifeform's vines were deep blue in color, so they suspected that the Million Emerald Vines Calamity mutated and became attuned to water or ice attribute. They theorized that it might have an effect on cultivators who comprehended Water or Ice Laws.
In any case, both elders eagerly awaited for the Conferred Queen's confirmation.
"Although the nectar's effects are a lot weaker than the grown Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar, it does not differ much and still possesses the same effect, capable of enabling a Peak-Level Third Stage Body Tempering Cultivator to enter the Fourth Stage with a single drop!"
"It is capable of making a Martial Master Stage Cultivator with hundred or so milliliters, and as for birthing a Master Sage Cultivator, I'll leave that up to you two to guess."
"As for twenty percent of the nectar, that is like a little below ten liters, but I'll make it ten liters for the wager. That's approximately 200,000 drops of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar..."
Elder Towerfall's heart shook as he heard the effects and numbers! He momentarily blanked out, and although Elder Enye became disappointed to learn that the effects were the same, she too felt some temptation.
Body Tempering Cultivation directly translates to vitality, and vitality to women is a must-have to maintain their prime appearance. Besides, Body Tempering is their weakness.
If she brought such a treasure back to the sect, then she possessed no doubt that she would be rewarded well!
What's more, if around a hundred milliliters could make a Martial Master Stage Cultivator, then with the number of drops she brought back, wouldn't she be named as the greatest elder in the Falling Snow Sect who was responsible for creating tens of Martial Master Stage Cultivators? Wouldn't a statue be erected in her complete figure and venerable visage!?
Thinking like this, greed filled Elder Enye's head before she felt as if a chilling bucket of cold water splashed on her.
"However, do you two still think that the puny resources wagered can compare to twenty percent of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar? Princess Isabella coldly asked.
Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye expressions visage became slightly red as they heard the Conferred Queen's question. They could only stay silent and not slip up as these had already arrived at this point. They were only a step away from having a battle exchange and gaining the nectar!
