Even in a regular transaction, it would come at a high price.
Exposed by Luo Chen, Xian He awkwardly lowered his hand.
"It does have a somewhat similar effect."
Then, he straightened his tone.
"Friend Luo, name your price!"
Luo Chen laughed in silence.
"Common Spirit Stones mean nothing to me. If you truly wish to trade, why not offer a batch of well-trained Spirit Cranes with accomplished cultivation levels!"
"That’s impossible!" True Master Xian He resolutely refused. "The Spirit Cranes are the foundation of our sect; how could we sell them?"
Indeed, Luo Chen was rather tempted by those Spirit Cranes of the White Crane Gate.
Their spirit communication level was extremely high, far surpassing ordinary Demon Beasts, and they could even patrol and guard the sect gates on their own.
Moreover, their speed in flight was extremely fast; among those of the same order, only formidable winged Demon Beasts like the Tianxuan Fighting Bird might be able to surpass them.
But the Spirit Cranes of the White Crane Gate, they were social creatures, living in large groups.
Unlike the solitary, reclusive Tianxuan Fighting Birds.
Although the Luo Tian Sect had lost Xu Huanzhen, the art of mastering flying beasts from early times was still retained.
If a large batch of trained Spirit Cranes could be acquired, it would surely instantaneously boost the strength of the sect disciples, significantly enhancing their self-defense capability at least.
Additionally, these Spirit Cranes could also make up for the disadvantage of the inadequate number of Luo Tian Sect disciples.
In that place, devising their policies.
Once Luo Chen reverted to the identity of Supreme Luo Tian, it was destined that he could never be as carefree as before.
He didn’t mind the trouble since it was all just a matter of talking anyway.
Moreover, during this process, he could construct his network of interpersonal relationships.
Being alone might be carefree, but when matters arise, bearing them alone isn’t nearly as easy and pleasant as having partners to shoulder them with!
At this moment, despite Xian He’s resolute refusal, Luo Chen didn’t become angry.
He chuckled, saying, "Since Friend is so eager for Emperor Liquor to enhance the disciples’ strength, I reckon it’s because you’re worried the war might spread here, right?"
Without waiting for True Master Xian He to answer, he continued, "The front lines in the Three Domains have been at a stalemate for years; collapse is inevitable. Once all three domains fall, the Demon Clan forces will certainly aim directly at the Lingtian Pass, and at that time, everyone within the Five Domains will be drawn into the most perilous Human-Demon War!"
"And this war will not only be the most dangerous but also the most unrelenting. The Demon Clan will not show mercy, and the Dark Abyss Sect behind the Eastern Wasteland will not allow us to retreat even a step."
"Therefore, every person, every force is straining every nerve to enhance their strength, to survive this future battle, and even to seize more benefits."
"Friend Xian He, am I right?"
Faced with Luo Chen’s gaze, True Master Xian He opened his mouth but finally let out a soft sigh.
"Friend, you’ve only just returned to the Eastern Wasteland and yet are so keenly aware of the situation here."
Luo Chen shook his head with a smile and, pacing leisurely, suddenly fell silent as if deep in thought.
Xian He, not understanding, spoke dryly to avoid an awkward silence, "The number of Spirit Cranes at our White Crane Gate is indeed limited and inconvenient to use for trade. Friend, perhaps consider another..."
After pondering for a long time, Luo Chen lifted his head and fixed his gaze on True Master Xian He.
"Last time within your sect’s gates, I sensed the aura of another True Master He, yet he did not appear. Could it be that the rumor is true?"
True Master Xian He’s expression changed dramatically!
"Daoist Friend Luo Chen, what do you mean by this?"
This reaction confirmed Luo Chen’s suspicions.
Among the Five Domains of Lingtian, within the five major Nascent Soul forces, other than the weakest Mu Residence, the strength of the other four is actually quite comparable.
Fenghua Palace has two Palace Masters, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion also has two Nascent Soul True Masters, the Hundred Beasts Sect not only has Qin Baoming but also enslaves a Demon Emperor, which counts as two Nascent Soul-level fighting strengths.
Then, there is the White Crane Gate.
Rumor has it that the White Crane Gate also has two Nascent Soul True Masters.
True Master Xian He and a Transformed Spirit Crane.
However, regardless of outside rumors or intelligence from the Tianyuan Business Alliance, no one has ever seen that Transformed Spirit Crane, and experts of the same order can only faintly feel its aura.
Over time, a rumor arose.
The True Master He of the White Crane Gate indeed passed the Thunder Tribulation, but the transformation failed, making it inconvenient to appear in the world.
Passing the Thunder Tribulation yet failing to transform sounds quite contradictory.
In actuality, it is not difficult to understand.
It’s merely due to someone using external forces to help the tribulation transcender during the tribulation process, although they survived the life-and-death ordeal, they missed the purification by heaven and earth, resulting in an incomplete success.
The subsequent impact is that the demon cultivator cannot quickly cultivate using a human form, and due to their large body, they face several disadvantages, such as difficulty moving outside.
The rumor about the White Crane Gate may not be false.
The covert support of the Yu Ding Sword Sect by the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, sending Lin Qingxuan to probe the White Crane Gate, is evidence of that. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Otherwise, why would the Yu Ding Sword Sect, which currently lacks strength, dare provoke the White Crane Gate, which possesses two Nascent Soul True Masters?
Having seen True Master Xian He’s reaction, Luo Chen was now certain in his heart.
"My meaning is not complicated."
"Attempting to use Emperor Liquor to cultivate disciples’ strength requires incessant effort over time, but there isn’t enough time now."
"In contrast, if the True Master Crane of your sect can easily walk the human world, it would undoubtedly be the most immediate maximum enhancement for you!"
A pill appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.
"This pill is called a Transforming Pill. I am willing to offer it as a gift to forge goodwill between our two sects!"
