Master Xuanyuan only frowned slightly. “Oh? Tell me the reason.”
“Master, earth fire is very important! Otherwise, why would Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist priest Zhenyi abandon the friendship between our three sects and submit to the tyranny of the Heavenly Gates Sect?!”
Du Guyi snorted coldly and suppressed his displeasure, waiting for Yun Chujiu to continue.
Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist Zhenyi’s expressions looked unnatural. ‘This little girl’s words are really unpleasant to hear, but Heavenly Gates Sect are a little too arrogant!’
“Without the earth fire, refining weapons and pills will be restricted, so we can only bear with the pain and give up our precious share of Spirit Stones to exchange for the earth fire! Sect master, we can’t delay the sect’s advancement just because of a momentary impulse! Please think twice!” Yun Chujiu said with incomparable pain. It was as if if they did not agree to Heavenly Gates Sect, Spirit Radiance Sect would be exterminated.
Yun Chujiu gave Elder Qu a look. Elder Qu thought to himself, ‘This Little Jiu has always been crafty and resourceful. She must have her reasons for doing this…’ Therefore, Elder Qu also quickly said, “Sect master, what Little Jiu said makes sense. The earth fire has been cut off for a month, and whether it’s refining pills or refining weapons, it has been greatly affected. We should agree to Heavenly Gates Sect’s conditions.”
A few of the elders who were quick-witted heard Elder Qu’s words, and in view of Yun Chujiu’s character of seizing opportunities, everyone felt that there must be something fishy going on, so they all started to assist.
“Sect leader, Little Jiu and Elder Qu’s words make sense! The earth fire can’t be cut off! Transferring one-tenth of the Spirit Stones will not have much of an impact on Spirit Radiance Sect, but we absolutely can not do without earth fire!”
“That’s right, sect leader. We can earn Spirit Stones through other channels, but only Heavenly Gates Sect has earth fire!”
“I also agree with Little Jiu’s words. Let’s accept Heavenly Gates Sect’s conditions!”
…
Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist priest Zhenyi were dumbfounded. Before this little girl returned, these people from Spirit Radiance Sect did not express this. They would rather not use the earth fire than agree to Heavenly Gates Sect’s conditions. Why was it that this little girl uttered a few words, and suddenly everyone had a change of mind? Did this little girl’s words carry so much weight?
Master Xuanyuan seemed to be in a difficult position. “This… What you said makes sense, but the share of Spirit Stones is also very important!”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “Master Xuanyuan, as the saying goes, one who is not prepared to risk his child will never catch the wolf [1]. There’s no way to get the best of both worlds. Achieving balance between the two is more important than the earth fire.”
Master Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, since both of you are inclined to buy the earth fire, then I agree to use one-tenth of the Spirit Stones to buy earth fire.”
Master Xuanyuan thought to himself, ‘Little Ancestor, you better not screw this up, or else we will end up losing everything.’.
“Since that’s the case, Master Xuanyuan, let’s sign the contract. Fairy Yu Mei and Daoist Zhenyi will be the witnesses.” Du Guyi was very pleased when he heard Master Xuanyuan say that. ‘This time, I’ll get one-tenth of your Spirit Stones. Next time, I’ll get one-fifth of Master Xuanyuan’s Spirit Stones. Sooner or later, our Heavenly Gates Sect would unify Qingxuan!’
Du Guyi took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and gestured for Master Xuanyuan to sign it and seal it with Spirit Radiance Sect’s official seal. Yun Chujiu hopped to the front of Master Xuanyuan and glanced at the contract a few times. Then, she curled her lips and pointed out a couple thing.
“Master Du Guyi, this contract can’t only be binding Spirit Radiance Sect, right? What if Heavenly Gates Sect can’t fulfill the contract? For example, what if you can’t provide enough earth fire?”
