"Then, how many medicinal pills are you going to give us as compensation" one person asked. The sect he represented did not want to continue and was also the least affected; they could leave at any time if the compensation was appropriate.
"A thousand pills, all of them being top-grade medicinal pills," Xiaoyao said.
"A thousand pills This seems..."
"To each sect!" Xiaoyao added.
"What A thousand per sect All top-grade medicinal pills" Everyone exclaimed. Even they, being top-level sects, could only encounter but not seek for top-grade medicinal pills; their accumulation over the years had fewer than a thousand top-grade medicinal pills.
Therefore, if Xiaoyao were to give them such an amount of top-grade medicinal pills, it would definitely be worth buying them out. Even though they lost much, this could compensate for it.
Even losing one or two divine realm cultivators wouldn’t matter since a thousand top-grade medicinal pills could create more divine realm cultivators.
"That's right! A thousand pills, but I'm only looking at our herbs; the variety of medicinal pills isn't included. You know that some materials for top-grade medicinal pills are hard to obtain," Xiaoyao added.
"We're aware of this. Top-grade medicinal pills each have their uses. Anything is acceptable."
“That’s right!”
“Wait, what you mean is that you guys refine the medicinal pills yourselves”
Someone suddenly realized Xiaoyao's implication was to refine them themselves rather than present existing ones; this also surprised them.
The ability to refine top-grade medicinal pills was extremely rare now, and some techniques had even been lost. This made them more astonished than the Lo Family obtaining a treasure trove.
"Of course, if you provide materials, you can specify which type of pill you want; however, we won't compensate for these materials," Xiaoyao said.
“That’s no problem!” someone immediately responded. As long as they could refine the top-grade medicinal pills they wanted, it didn’t matter what the cost was.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be attracted by this condition and started showing signs of reconciliation; this made people find it somewhat unbelievable.
However, things rarely go so smoothly!
"Nonsense, are you lying Can your group really refine top-grade medicinal pills" A divine realm martial artist beside Xiaoyao mocked coldly.
“Right. We don’t know if this is true, and we don’t know if there will be compensation. If we let them go and it turns out to be a lie, wouldn’t we fall for their trick”
The crowd immediately agreed. After all, this was still just talk; they were still quite skeptical about it. Just now, they had only been excited by the news of a thousand pills per sect.
Now that they thought about it carefully, this matter needed further discussion.
"That's right, we almost fell for their trick. For safety’s sake, you guys stay here; if it turns out to be true, then we will consider letting you go and reconciling," Yun Kaitai and the others said.
Keeping Xiaoyao and his group in place was undoubtedly the best decision under any circumstances.
"I can also stay. If you want proof, you can prepare materials; I'll refine some for you first," Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.
“You You mean you can” the crowd asked.
“You can choose not to believe me, but I can prove it,” Xiaoyao said coolly.
"Alright. Let's try first; we won't lose anything," everyone nodded after looking at each other. They could wait for this matter as they had time; besides, since Xiaoyao and his group were controlled, there was no need to worry about any problems arising.
“However, you guys will have some restrictions,” the crowd looked at Gu Xing and the others. Otherwise, they really feared something would go wrong.
"What kind of restrictions do you want" Nangong Susan asked.
A divine realm martial artist beside Xiaoyao said, “Self-castration.” Everyone frowned slightly at this suggestion; in such a situation, self-castration seemed unreasonable. If they really could refine top-grade medicinal pills, it would be better not to offend them.
"Do you think that’s interesting" Xiaoyao glanced at the martial artist and said to Gu Xing and the others, "You guys can go back first; I’ll be fine here."
“Huh, since there's nothing wrong, let’s go!” Nangong Susan nodded.
"But…" Miss said.
"It'll be alright. As long as we don’t compromise, they won’t do anything to Xiaoyao; hostages are only useful once their demands are met," the Third Miss of Nangong Family said.
“I’ll stay,” Gu Xing said at this moment.
"Alright then."
Xiaoyao and the others were discussing, actually, Guxing staying here wouldn't be a problem since she was of god realm strength, enough to protect herself.
"I'll stay too. I'm not important anyway," Lu Wentian said. Although he was at the god realm, it seemed like he wasn't that significant in Cloud KaiTai's eyes.
"And me; they won't do anything to me." Wang Yanyu spoke up at this moment, she was from Vast Virtue Gate, so naturally there would be no issue with her staying.
"Hey hey, don't you guys know where this place is You can just come and go as you please" Cloud KaiTai said a bit unhappily. These people really didn’t seem to take them seriously.
"Old man, let me tell you, when we come here, there will be ways for us to leave; do you believe it or not" The Young Miss smiled and said.
""..."" Everyone fell silent. From past experiences, what the Young Miss was saying had a high credibility rate. They might not be able to match any of these god realm martial artists here individually, but they did have some other methods.
"Try it if you dare to leave; I'll cut off his hand," Cloud KaiTai said coldly. Don't think that by doing this, you can come and go as you please.
"This... This old guy doesn’t seem to be joking around; Xiaoyao, looks like we’re not leaving." The Young Miss looked at Xiaoyao and smiled as she said this, seemingly without any objection towards staying behind.
"He indeed can. Alright then, let’s stay for now," Xiaoyao also didn’t mind and replied.
"Alright!" The Young Miss smiled.
None of them seemed to think that staying here was dangerous; a place where they could lose their lives at any moment.
"Are you not afraid we’ll do something against your interests" Cloud KaiTai and the others were quite puzzled. These youngsters' reactions seemed too strange, as if they didn’t take this matter seriously at all.
"Anyway, whether I’m scared or not won’t change anything; what’s the problem with that Besides, we believe you’ll accept Xiaoyao's proposal, it truly is enticing and moreover, war isn’t beneficial to you either," Nangong Suxin said directly jumping down and walking towards Xiaoyao.
Following this, Guxing and a few others also jumped down, leading the Third Miss of the Nangong Family towards Xiaoyao as well.
"Indeed, each generation surpasses the last; we old timers will eventually be phased out," said one veteran god realm martial artist with admiration for how these girls acted.
If things were to continue like this, Xiaoyao and his group would finish peace negotiations within a few days and end the war as long as Xiaoyao could concoct top-tier medicinal pills.
However, it was still not going smoothly; something else happened once again, just like before...
"Is this what you call a happy ending" At this moment, the god realm martial artist by Xiaoyao's side spoke up.
"You're quite an interesting person. Why do you always say strange things Do you have other intentions" Xiaoyao asked the god realm martial artist beside him. He had found it odd from the start that this god realm martial artist seemed unfriendly towards Xiaoyao and said something he shouldn’t.
Of course, what he said was correct, but the problem was that at this moment, Cloud KaiTai’s group should be the ones speaking; not him. Even if he were to speak up, it would just be a reminder beforehand without being so direct like this.
"Xiaoyao, don't be rude. He's my best friend; we grew up together," Lu Wentian said at this moment.
"Best friend Hmph, if you really think I’m your best friend, then go and kill yourself." The god realm martial artist sneered and said.
"Hao, what are you saying" Lu Wentian was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that the person he called brother would speak to him this way.
This Hao’s full name was Simutao Hao; he was Lu Wentian's senior and had grown up together with Lu Wentian since childhood, training martial arts, fighting...
Such a close brother suddenly telling him to kill himself was something no one could have imagined.
"I’m ordering you to commit suicide!" The god realm martial artist said.
"Why" Lu Wentian didn’t understand. He couldn’t figure out why Simutao Hao would treat him like this; had he changed in the past 20 years
In fact, it wasn't that there was a change over the last 20 years but that he had always been so, Lu Wentian didn't know that part of his and Yun Qingyi's suffering actually stemmed from Simutao Hao.
"There’s no reason. I just want you to die; once you’re dead, then I’ll feel comfortable," Simutao Hao said while holding Xiaoyao's neck in one hand, making it clear that he could easily break Xiaoyao's neck with a little effort.
"Hao, what are you doing" Cloud KaiTai was also confused now. What does this Simutao Hao want to do Although Cloud KaiTai didn’t like Lu Wentian having other women, this doesn't mean he wanted Lu Wentian dead.
"It’s obvious; I just want to kill Yun Tian. You guys don’t ask such pointless questions," Simutao Hao said.
"Who told you to do this" Cloud KaiTai was enraged and asked.
"Of course, it's me. Given your attitude since childhood that favored him over everyone else, would you do anything to him When he ran off with Qingyi and did things wrong against her, having a bastard child by another woman, in the end you still married Qingyi to him; on the surface, you said he was a scoundrel who deserved death and should be expelled from Feiyun Sect, but these past 20 years, haven't you been hoping for him to come back and see you But he never came!" Simutao Hao sneered coldly, revealing his hatred.
"Who said that I don’t want to see this damned brat; better if he dies outside!" Cloud KaiTai immediately said.
(To be continued)l with it!" South Palace Su Xin spoke at that moment, urging Xianyao and others to leave, especially Miss Senior.Because the action she was about to take might not make Miss Senior very comfortable!"M...
